Mea Culpa welcomes back our resident expert on the January 6th hearings, Norm Eisen. Eisen, is an attorney and author who has served in a broad array of government roles, including special counsel and special assistant to President Barack Obama for ethics and government reform — in that role Eisen was dubbed “Mr. No” and the “Ethics Czar” — well known for his tough anti-corruption approach to governance. As co-counsel on the House Judiciary Committee's first Trump impeachment — Eisen is active with the Brookings Institute and other groups working to expose the ways Trump and his cronies broke the law not only on January 6th but in their attempts to overturn the election as well. Michael and Norm dig deep into January 6th and the possible prosecutions coming.

Brittany Vessely, executive director of Colorado Catholic Conference comments on the Orwellian-named 'Legal Protections for Dignity of Minors' bill (SB26-018) which states parents who refuse to affirm the gender identity of their child may have that factor into custody judgments made by a court.

Last week, a grand jury refused to indict six Democratic lawmakers over a video they made addressing service members' duty to refuse illegal orders. Mary and Andrew hold little back as they discuss the government's attempt to chill free speech and persecute political foes. In an adjacent case, they review Judge Richard Leon's decision to block Secretary Pete Hegseth from demoting Senator Mark Kelly over the video, saying it “trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms.” The co-hosts then dig into the unsealed Fulton County affidavit and what it shows about the basis of the administration's 2020 election fraud claims, before concluding with a couple due process updates: Judge Boasberg's decision ordering the Trump administration to facilitate the return of some Venezuelan migrants unlawfully deported, and Judge Tim Kelly's decision in a case about death row prisoners being sent to a “Supermax” prison on the government's orders without due process, after Biden granted them clemency from the death penalty before leaving office.Further reading:Read Judge Richard J.

Nate Miles joins Jeremy Keil to discuss how the Allspring retirement research reveals trends of concern among retirees and the options they have to address them. Mike and Susan did what many couples do. They saved diligently. They crossed the $1 million mark before retirement. They felt prepared. But when it came time to make actual retirement decisions—when to claim Social Security, how to withdraw from their accounts, how to manage taxes—they realized something uncomfortable: They had spent decades saving… but very little time learning how to retire. This example speaks directly to what this year's Allspring Retirement Study uncovered. As Nate Miles shared on the “Retire Today” podcast, this wasn't a small or struggling population. Participants were 50+ with at least $200,000 in investable assets. A third of retirees surveyed had $1 million or more. Yet only six out of ten retirees said they feel financially secure. That gap between assets and confidence tells us something important: retirement success isn't just about how much you've accumulated. It's about how well you transition into distribution. The Social Security Mistake One of the most striking findings involved Social Security. Nate explained: “One third of our respondents claimed Social Security at 62 years old… because they believed the value or the benefit of waiting was not worth it. Yet they underestimated the value of waiting by 50%.” Many respondents assumed the benefit grew at 4% per year when delayed. In reality, for most people, it grows closer to 8% annually between full retirement age and 70. That misunderstanding alone can permanently reduce lifetime income. In the MAKE step of the 5 Step Retirement Master Plan, Social Security is foundational. For many retirees, it represents 30–40% of their guaranteed income. Optimizing that decision isn't optional—it's essential. And yet, education around it is surprisingly thin. As Nate pointed out, there are “560-something permutations” of Social Security claiming strategies. It's ubiquitous, but complicated. And too often, people default to the earliest date simply because it feels tangible. The Tax Blind Spot The second major theme of the study? Taxes. Only about 20% of retirees reported using a tax-efficient withdrawal strategy. Think about that. After decades of saving in multiple account types—traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, brokerage accounts—most retirees are simply withdrawing from wherever feels convenient. Nate put it plainly: “Taxes matter for everyone, not just the high net worth crowd.” In the KEEP step of retirement planning, how you withdraw can meaningfully impact how long your money lasts. Choosing between Roth and traditional dollars. Managing capital gains. Coordinating withdrawals with Social Security timing. These aren't abstract academic exercises. They are practical levers that affect real income. Yet as Nate observed, most people spent 40 years having taxes withheld automatically from paychecks. They paid taxes—but they never actively managed them. Retirement flips that script completely. Now you must choose. The Psychological Shift No One Talks About Nate shared that many retirees are comfortable spending above their retirement number—until their account dips below it. The moment it falls beneath that original balance, panic sets in. Even if the plan accounts for drawdown. Even if it's sustainable. Even if it's expected. That's what I call the “accumulation paradox.” Economists assume you'll build your assets and gradually spend them down toward zero. Real people assume the number should stay intact forever. But retirement isn't about preserving a scoreboard. It's about funding a life. This is where the SPEND step meets the INVEST step. You saved to use the money. And yes, at some point, your balance may begin to decline. That's not failure. That's function. Advice Still Matters One of Nate's most memorable lines was this: “Monte Carlo gets 10,000 cracks at retirement. You and I get one.” We don't get multiple trial runs. We get one real-life retirement. That's why quality advice matters. The study suggests people with pensions are more likely to use annuities. People with advice are more likely to use tax strategies. And people who understand their income sources are more confident. Retirement is no longer just accumulation. It's design. And design requires intention. If you're within five years of retirement—or already there—ask yourself: Have I optimized my Social Security? Am I intentionally managing taxes? Do I have a clear income floor? Am I emotionally prepared to draw down assets? Because as this year's research shows, even million-dollar portfolios can feel uncertain without a plan. Retirement isn't about guessing well. It's about designing well. Don't forget to leave a rating for the “Retire Today” podcast if you've been enjoying these episodes! Subscribe to Retire Today to get new episodes every Wednesday.

In Legal Episode 297 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love welcomes Chuck Curtis to discuss the unique challenges law firm partners face when considering a lateral move. Drawing on decades of experience in attorney recruiting and integration, Chuck explains that the decision to move should be driven primarily by platform fit—whether a firm truly supports and promotes a partner's practice area. He emphasizes that partners must thoughtfully evaluate whether their current firm provides the marketing support, strategic alignment, and internal collaboration necessary to grow their book of business. Before going to market, partners should have candid conversations with leadership and, if moving as a group, align internally to ensure consensus and minimize risk. The episode also explores best practices for navigating the transition process, including handling compensation discussions, preparing for potential counteroffers, and managing group dynamics. Chuck highlights the importance of transparency, strategic planning, and cohesion—particularly when moving as a team. Successful lateral integrations, he notes, occur when partners understand their value proposition, collaborate early with their new colleagues, and treat the move as a long-term business decision rather than a short-term financial negotiation. For partners contemplating a move, this episode delivers practical guidance on reducing disruption and maximizing success in a competitive legal marketplace.

In this episode of Pearls On, Gloves Off, Mary sits down with Mike Abbott, Head of the Thomson Reuters Institute, to unpack the paradox: how can firms be thriving on paper while the ground shifts beneath them? Clients are tightening spend. Work is moving down-market and in-house. AI adoption is accelerating, especially on the client side, yet most of the industry still can't measure ROI beyond "time saved." And the biggest unresolved question hangs over everything: when tech makes legal work faster, who gets the benefit? Mike brings the data, the patterns, and the historical context, plus a sobering signal: late 2025 showed a sharp dip in M&A alongside a rise in countercyclical practices. If you're trying to understand what's actually coming in 2026, this is your listen. In this episode: Record profits… and warning lights: Why a "great year" can still mask real risk (and why it feels eerily familiar). The work is moving: Not just in-house, down-market into the second hundred and mid-size firms. AI as an efficiency engine (for now): Adoption is surging, but ROI tracking is still immature across the ecosystem. The billing model stalemate: If ~90% of billing is still hourly (with "creative" hourly flavors), what happens when AI collapses time-to-deliver? Value gap reality check: The uncomfortable stat: one in four clients say they've never experienced a law firm that delivers value - and what "value" actually means to clients. Legal ops as the bridge: Why the legal ops function is more critical than ever, and why it's unlikely to be a passing trend.

Six members of Congress made a public service video, reminding military members of their absolute obligation to refuse to obey unlawful orders. Though they committed no crimes, Donald Trump demanded that those 6 be prosecuted. Any ethical prosecutor would refuse to seek a grand jury indictment of people who had committed no crimes. But Pam Bondi and Jeanine Pirro engaged in a horrific act of prosecutorial abuse, urging a grand jury to indict the six members of Congress.Fortunately, the grand jurors - sitting as the conscience of the community - just refused to indict the six members of Congress, obviously because they had committed no crime.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The letter outlines the Department of Justice's obligations under Section 3 of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandates that within 15 days of completing its required document release, the DOJ must submit a detailed report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. That report must identify all categories of records that were released and all categories that were withheld, provide a summary of any redactions made to the released materials along with the legal justification for those redactions, and compile a list of all government officials and politically exposed persons named or referenced in the disclosed documents.In the correspondence, the Department states that it is acting “consistent with Section 3 of the Act” and is now providing the required information to Congress. The letter frames the submission as statutory compliance with the transparency requirements set forth in the law, formally accounting for how records were handled, what information was withheld or redacted, and which public officials appear in the materials tied to the Epstein case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:efta-final-letter.pdf

Six members of Congress made a public service video, reminding military members of their absolute obligation to refuse to obey unlawful orders. Though they committed no crimes, Donald Trump demanded that those 6 be prosecuted. Any ethical prosecutor would refuse to seek a grand jury indictment of people who had committed no crimes. But Pam Bondi and Jeanine Pirro engaged in a horrific act of prosecutorial abuse, urging a grand jury to indict the six members of Congress.Fortunately, the grand jurors - sitting as the conscience of the community - just refused to indict the six members of Congress, obviously because they had committed no crime.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ted DeBettencourt discuss:Making prospects feel heard before they hireFixing intake as the real growth leverOptimizing website conversion channelsAdopting a builder's mindset in business development Key Takeaways:Emotional needs matter as much as legal expertise when someone is choosing a lawyer. If prospects do not feel listened to or cared for, they continue shopping. Human connection is often the deciding factor in a crowded legal marketplace.Many firms invest heavily in marketing but lose revenue at the intake stage. Speed of response determines success, as delays of even 24 hours can cost the case. Clear criteria for qualified leads protect attorney time and improve conversion rates.Law firm websites must make contact effortless through visible phone numbers, live chat, text, and forms. Human-powered chat and SMS are increasingly driving higher engagement and signed cases. Firms that reduce friction in communication dramatically improve conversion outcomes.Opportunities rarely arrive on their own, even with strong credentials. Growth begins when professionals stop waiting and start creating value. Taking initiative and solving real problems can open entirely new career paths. "Running a law firm 101: don't answer your own phone, because you're never getting any work done." — Ted DeBettencourt Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

The Department of Justice has consistently argued that the controversial 2007–2008 Epstein non-prosecution agreement did not violate the Crime Victims' Rights Act because, in its view, the CVRA's protections did not attach until formal federal charges were filed. DOJ lawyers maintained that during the pre-charge negotiation phase, federal prosecutors were operating within their lawful discretion to decline prosecution and enter into a resolution without notifying potential victims. According to this position, because Epstein was never federally charged at the time the agreement was reached, the government contended there were no legally recognized “crime victims” under the CVRA to notify, consult, or confer with during the negotiations.The government further argued that the plea deal itself was a lawful exercise of prosecutorial authority designed to secure accountability through a state-level conviction while conserving federal resources and avoiding litigation risks. DOJ filings emphasized that the CVRA was not intended to regulate prosecutorial decision-making before charges are brought, nor to force prosecutors to disclose or negotiate plea discussions with potential victims in advance. In short, the DOJ's defense rests on a narrow interpretation of when victims' rights legally begin, asserting that while the outcome may have been deeply troubling, it did not constitute a statutory violation under the government's reading of federal law.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:TitleBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On the Feb. 16 edition: A legal fight is brewing over the voter data seized by the FBI; Opening arguments begin in the trial of the father whose son killed four people at Apalachee High School; And Spike Lee talks 'School Daze' and its legacy

On today's episode, we discuss AOC's viral “this dude is not smart” jab at Elon Musk, playing her halting Taiwan‑defense answer from Munich alongside footage of a SpaceX booster landing itself and asking what it says about today's political class when one of Musk's harshest critics cannot give a coherent response on war and peace. The panel then turns to Louisiana politics: Ben unloads on Senator Bill Cassidy as a “rhino” who reliably votes with Democrats, warns that outdated Sequoia voting machines are being replaced by Dominion systems after one more election, and argues that unless the state returns to hand‑marked paper ballots, the establishment can engineer Cassidy's third term regardless of voter sentiment. In a lighter but revealing tech segment, James offers a Tesla FSD update—explaining the new “strike” policy for inattentive drivers, how profiles now live in the cloud, and why the car sometimes lets him exceed its recommended speed only after flashing on‑screen liability warnings—while Dwayne reads Grok's official description of the temporary autopilot suspensions and jokes about a future registry for “habitual bad drivers.” The conversation broadens into concerns about hacking autonomous 18‑wheelers, the promise of safer robot truck fleets, and an exploration of “Alpha Schools,” an AI‑driven homeschool model whose students reportedly test in the top 1 percent, prompting questions about whether the tool is transformative or simply amplifying already motivated families. Finally, the crew revisits Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein files and DOJ priorities, contrasts her emotional testimony with Oliver North's unflappable Iran‑Contra performance, and debates whether limited federal resources should chase every past atrocity (from island trafficking to Russiagate) or be concentrated on a few, clearly winnable cases even if that leaves some victims without full legal closure. Don't miss it!

Tensions flared on Capitol Hill as Representative Ted Lieu confronted Attorney General Pam Bondi over newly released Jeffrey Epstein–related files that include photographs of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Lieu argued that redactions in the images confirmed the presence of a trafficking victim and questioned why Andrew has not been prosecuted.Bondi confirmed the victim's face had been redacted under congressional law but pushed back when Lieu accused the Department of Justice of shutting down further investigation. Lieu responded that previous attorneys general had also “dropped the ball,” but said Bondi now has the power to act.Meanwhile, a survivor of Epstein's abuse has urged Buckingham Palace to take stronger action. Juliette Bryant, speaking to the BBC, welcomed the King's statement that he is “ready to support” police but asked whether the Palace would actually follow through, calling for Andrew's records to be reviewed and made public if there is “nothing to hide.” Bryant has never met Andrew and has made no allegations against him. Andrew denies wrongdoing.As pressure mounts, King Charles is reportedly distancing himself financially. A source close to the King says he did not contribute to the roughly $15 million settlement Andrew paid in 2022 to resolve Virginia Giuffre's civil lawsuit. Reports suggest funds came from other family sources. Andrew has denied wrongdoing.Legal experts now warn that if Andrew were formally investigated in the United Kingdom, the process could take years. While life imprisonment is technically the maximum sentence for certain serious misconduct offenses, solicitors stress that charges are not automatic and that he remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

Join Alex and film studies professor Daniel Kieckhefer as they explore the deeper meaning in Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece Vertigo (1958). The film stars James Stewart as a boyish former SFPD detective, haunted by a near-death experience that leaves him with extreme vertigo. He's called on as a private detective to investigate a woman, played by Kim Novak, who is seemingly possessed by a dead relative. This paper-thin mystery (as the critics at the time called it) is not what Hitchcock wanted audiences to pay attention to, however; as Daniel explains, this is classic Freudian Oedipal complex. The duo explore the explanation from a historical lens, both from a filmmaking and a clinical psychology perspective. It's pretty clear that obsession is the concept to focus on, but its really what the true object of that obsession that is up for debate! There was agreement that Stewart played a really creepy dude and in no way was he the good guy of this story.

Most B2B companies struggle to turn marketing into measurable pipeline. At B2B Better, we build owned media systems that sales teams actually use to close deals, shortening cycles, improving reply rates, and directly influencing revenue. If you're tired of content that looks good on paper but doesn't move the business forward, visit the links in the show notes to learn how we do it differently. If your best clients won't sign case studies because legal says no, this episode shows you exactly how to flip that dynamic. Host Jason Bradwell shares how he cracked this problem working in broadcast media tech, where sports properties refused to give free logo rights to vendors they were already paying. Jason's core point: legal teams don't fear telling the story, they fear losing control over how it's told. Traditional case studies feel like monumental approval chains with multiple drafts and stakeholder reviews. It's easier to just say no. Jason worked for a tech company serving major sports media properties. The opportunity seemed obvious: tell stories about household name clients. But sports rights holders get paid millions for sponsorship rights. Why would they give a tech vendor free permission to use their name for marketing? Most teams try tactics that don't work: anonymous case studies nobody believes, paying for logo rights, using old logos without permission, or giving up entirely and competing on price. Here's what changed. When Jason's team sat down with legal teams, they learned it wasn't fear of the story—it was fear of losing control and bandwidth nightmares. So they launched a podcast with a different value exchange. Instead of "come talk about how great we are," the pitch was "come talk about your work and how you see the industry evolving." Questions submitted in advance. Full approval. Nothing goes live without sign-off. A VP of digital from a major sports league who'd said no to every promotional request for years agreed almost immediately. When Jason asked why, the answer was clear: "For years you've been asking me to do things for you. But this time you asked me to do something for me." The unlock is simple. Traditional case studies ask for public endorsement with high risk and zero personal upside. Editorial podcasts offer a platform to showcase expertise, professionally produced content they can use, and full control. The acceptance rate jumps from 5% for case studies to 70% for editorial podcasts. Sales can share clips without requiring testimonials, and the credibility is more authentic because it doesn't feel like marketing.

This is likely only the beginning of the reckoning. ----- As predicted on last week's episode, Brad Karp left the top post at Paul Weiss following the disclosure of friendly correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein. But Karp wasn't the only Biglaw lawyer in the files, nor were his conversations the most troubling. A former Clifford Chance trainee drafted a sex contract with Epstein, Goldman Sachs GC Kathy Ruemmler made a joke with Epstein that normally you wouldn't make with someone who already pleaded guilty to child prostitution charges, and Alan Dershowitz managed to drag Paul Weiss into the case again when people found sex tourism legal analysis in the files from a now-Paul Weiss partner... passing along Dershowitz's thoughts. Meanwhile in Minnesota, a DOJ lawyer called out the broken immigration system before literally asking to be held in contempt so she could get some sleep. which is what happens when an administration breaks the legal system so thoroughly that even its own lawyers can't keep up with the chaos. And legal tech took a financial jolt as Anthropic announced its entry into the legal tech space. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Itziar Pernía Gómez, Socia Directora de Legal por Naturaleza, habla sobre el fideicomiso y el trust y explica las diferencias entre ambos conceptos. Por un lado, el fideicomiso es una herramienta de protección familiar, dónde el testador deja los bienes a alguien, pero con la obligación de que posteriormente pasen a otra persona, que será la beneficiaria. Por otro lado, el trust americano es parecido a nuestro fideicomiso español. En el trust hay una persona que transfiere los bienes a otra persona para que los administre en beneficio de un tercero, que será el beneficiario del trust. Durante el consultorio, Itziar Pernía además responde a algunas dudas sobre estos conceptos. Pone en conocimiento sobre cómo tributa el fideicomiso y el trust en España, los posibles escenarios fiscales del trust en España, y si una sociedad puede ser titular de un trust o de la sustitución fideicomisaria. También, y como cada lunes, desde Legal por Naturaleza responden algunas consultas sobre problemas relacionados con herencias de los oyentes de Radio Intereconomía.

En el Radar Empresarial de Capital Intereconomía ponemos el foco en el sector audiovisual y del entretenimiento, con especial atención a Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery y Paramount Global, en un contexto marcado por movimientos estratégicos, posibles operaciones corporativas y una creciente competencia en el mercado del ‘streaming'. A continuación, entrevistamos a Jacobo Noya, del equipo de Relación con Inversores de Crescenta, con quien analizamos el lanzamiento de su primer Fondo de Inversión Libre enfocado al acceso a las principales estrategias de Private Equity. Durante la conversación, se profundiza en las ventajas fiscales del producto, la posibilidad de realizar traspasos sin tributar en el momento, así como en su valor como herramienta de diversificación para inversores con carteras centradas en renta fija o renta variable. El programa se completa con el Consultorio de Herencias junto a Itziar Pernía Gómez, socia directora de Legal por Naturaleza, centrado en el fideicomiso y el trust. Se abordan sus principales características, las diferencias entre el modelo anglosajón y la sustitución fideicomisaria en España, su fiscalidad, los posibles escenarios tributarios y la titularidad de estas figuras por parte de personas jurídicas.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear reflections and contemporary ideas from Emma Feltes, who articulates a legal framing for understanding Canada as unceded territories. This perspective is particularly important in the context of understanding the territorial realities of lands and waterways that today are at the heart of the major national development projects that the current Liberal government of PM Mark Carney is pushing. This is a critical voice of context on the territorial realities on this point.
