This Day in Legal History: Nixon Signs the EPAAOn November 27, 1973, President Richard Nixon signed the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act (EPAA) into law, marking a pivotal response to the ongoing energy crisis of the 1970s. The legislation granted the federal government broad authority to regulate the production, pricing, allocation, and marketing of petroleum products. This measure aimed to mitigate the economic and social impact of the oil embargo imposed by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) in October 1973, which had caused fuel shortages and skyrocketing prices across the United States. The Act empowered the President to implement controls to ensure equitable distribution of petroleum products and prevent market manipulation. It also sought to stabilize supply chains and shield vulnerable populations and industries from the crisis's worst effects. By imposing these controls, the government could prioritize essential services such as transportation and heating, while discouraging hoarding and price gouging.While the EPAA provided temporary relief, it also sparked debate over federal intervention in the energy market. Critics argued that the price controls disincentivized domestic oil production and exacerbated supply issues in the long term. Proponents, however, viewed the Act as a necessary step to maintain public order and economic stability during an unprecedented crisis.The EPAA highlighted the growing importance of energy policy in national security and economic planning, influencing future legislation like the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975. It underscored the vulnerability of the U.S. economy to international energy dynamics and the need for a comprehensive energy strategy. This legislation remains a key moment in the history of U.S. responses to energy challenges.National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo has reorganized senior leadership, likely to shield her top deputy, Peter Sung Ohr, from dismissal when President-elect Donald Trump assumes office. Ohr, who has served as Abruzzo's deputy general counsel, will now lead the enforcement litigation division. Jessica Rutter, previously an associate general counsel, has been promoted to deputy general counsel.Trump is expected to follow precedent by firing Abruzzo upon taking office, as Biden dismissed Trump-appointed General Counsel Peter Robb on his first day in 2021. At that time, Robb's deputy, Alice Stock, briefly served as acting general counsel before Biden replaced her with Ohr, a longtime NLRB attorney. Ohr, with nearly 30 years of experience at the agency, had been regional director in Chicago before joining Abruzzo's leadership team in 2021.Abruzzo praised Ohr as an exemplary public servant, emphasizing his expertise and dedication to the NLRB's mission. Meanwhile, Rutter, who has experience with the American Federation of Teachers and joined the agency in 2021, will assume her new role alongside Ohr as the NLRB prepares for likely leadership changes under Trump's administration.Labor Board Deputies Shuffled in Shadow of Awaited Trump ChangesFederal judges recently took the unusual step of visiting Capitol Hill to advocate for a bill (S. 4199) that would expand the judiciary by adding over 60 district court judgeships for the first time in decades. Judges Timothy Corrigan, Troy Nunley, and Randy Crane met with members of Congress and staff, emphasizing the urgent need to address the growing caseloads overwhelming federal courts, particularly in districts like California's Eastern District and along the Southwest border. The bill, which passed the Senate unanimously, proposes 63 permanent and three temporary judgeships distributed through 2035. The judiciary has not seen a broad expansion since 1990, leaving many courts struggling with excessive workloads, especially in high-demand areas like immigration and business litigation.While judges typically avoid political discussions to maintain independence, they framed their advocacy as a structural necessity to ensure timely access to justice. Despite initial bipartisan support, some House Democrats have withdrawn backing since President-elect Donald Trump's victory, with concerns about partisan implications. House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan aims to move the bill forward, questioning the sudden hesitation from Democrats who previously supported it. Judges also addressed specific concerns, such as judge-shopping in Texas, during meetings with both Democratic and Republican representatives. The bill faces a tight timeline, with only three weeks left in the legislative calendar before the new Republican-majority Congress takes office in January.US Judges Make Unusual Hill Push for Bill on Overwhelmed CourtsCareer government lawyers are increasingly seeking private-sector jobs ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's second term, driven by fears of significant budget cuts and job uncertainty. While political appointees typically leave during transitions, legal recruiters report a sharp rise in interest from lower-level, career attorneys. The shift is particularly notable among attorneys in the Justice Department and other federal agencies, reflecting concerns about Trump's stated goals to streamline the government and eliminate departments like Education.Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead an unofficial Department of Government Efficiency, signaling potential regulatory rollbacks and workforce reductions. Though, it should be noted, he did appoint two heads to the department tasked with ferreting out inefficiencies–so it remains to be seen how effective this unofficial department will be. Legal experts note that while senior attorneys often transition easily to law firms or corporate roles, junior lawyers with specialized government experience may struggle in Washington's competitive private legal market. Trump's nominee for attorney general, Pam Bondi, has pledged to scrutinize prosecutions conducted under the Biden administration, intensifying tensions between the executive branch and career government lawyers. Despite fears, former officials like Rod Rosenstein emphasize that much of the federal legal system's work continues largely unaffected by political changes. The exodus highlights the broader challenges of balancing government service with career stability under shifting administrations.Trump's budget plans push US government lawyers to private sector | ReutersIn a piece I wrote for Forbes yesterday, the recent surge in Bitcoin's value, driven partly by shifting political dynamics, has spotlighted the cryptocurrency's environmental impact. Bitcoin mining demands vast amounts of electricity, sometimes exceeding the annual consumption of entire nations, with much of this energy coming from fossil fuels. This reliance contributes to air pollution and climate change, externalizing significant costs onto society. Current electricity prices do not fully reflect these environmental tolls, leaving the public to shoulder the broader consequences.Globally, momentum is building for a crypto tax to address these issues. The Global Solidarity Levies Task Force, led by countries like Kenya and France, has proposed taxing electricity used in mining, setting an example with a suggested rate of $0.045 per kilowatt-hour. Such measures could generate billions annually while encouraging miners to adopt more sustainable practices, such as renewable energy or energy-efficient technologies. In the U.S., a proposed 30% tax on mining electricity under the Biden administration faced political challenges, particularly as the incoming Trump administration is expected to oppose such measures. Still, a domestic crypto tax could reduce emissions, promote greener technologies, and align mining with fiscal and environmental justice principles. The U.S. has an opportunity to lead globally by demonstrating a commitment to sustainability in a rapidly growing and underregulated industry.Why The U.S. Needs A Crypto Tax To Combat Bitcoin's Environmental Toll This is a public episode.

In this episode Hawk discusses a significant development in the 2024 U.S. presidential race: Joe Biden's withdrawal from the campaign and his endorsement of Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. Hawk expresses enthusiasm for this change, viewing it as a positive shift that will energize the Democratic party and present a strong challenge to Donald Trump. He praises Biden's decision as patriotic and statesmanlike, highlighting Biden's accomplishments during his presidency and long career in public service.He then delves into Kamala Harris's background and qualifications, emphasizing her experience as a prosecutor, district attorney, and California Attorney General. He points out her strong performances in Senate hearings, particularly her questioning of Trump administration officials. The host suggests that Harris's prosecutorial skills and younger age will be significant advantages in the campaign against Trump. He also notes the irony that Trump had previously donated to Harris's campaigns for district attorney.The podcast concludes by discussing the key issues that are likely to dominate the 2024 campaign, including abortion rights, Project 2025 (a conservative policy blueprint), and the aftermath of the 2020 election and January 6th events. Hawk expresses confidence that Harris can effectively challenge Trump on these issues and ultimately win the election. He calls for unity among Democrats and emphasizes the importance of defeating Trump to preserve the democratic process for future elections.

Overlooked in the campus protests is the witch-trial hearings by MAGA Mike Johnson's House that bullied university presidents and scrutinized their federal funding, pressuring them, as Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton famously wrote in the Newspaper of Power, to “send in the troops.” Ultimately, the responsiblity falls on campus leadership, with several schools, like Rutgers University and Northwestern University, choosing a peaceful approach, reminding us that another world, free of police brutality, is possible.    Following the anniversary of the Kent State massacre on May 4th, Gaslit Nation looks at the campus protests, reminding everyone that peaceful protest and civil disobedience won hard-fought progress in America's history. Biden recently stopped a shipment of arms to Israel, thanks to the growing pressure. We also check-in on the coup, out in the open, against our democracy, with Rudy Giuliani trying once again to exhort Ukraine to invent dirt on Biden. This is what led to Trump's first impeachment. He's back at it, because Giuliani, along with all the rest of the coup plotters, were never punished.   This week's bonus show, available to subscribers at the Truth-teller level and higher on Patreon, looks at the latest reports that Ivanka Trump, after failing to make Nikki Haley the nominee, wants back on the Trump campaign and the White House.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 120: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: OK which atrocity do you want to get enraged about first? The fact that yesterday I began by saying “today we begin to find out if we still have a Constitution” and turns out, sorry, I guess we don't – and the three liberal justices are complicit in that? Or, the fact that a partisan hack appointed by Trump managed to turn his nothing-burger investigation of Biden and the returned documents into Christmas-For-The-Fascists by inserting unwarranted, unjustifiable, indefensible opinions about the president's memory into it and THAT'S the headline and oh by the way where is the goddamned Attorney General on this? William Rehnquist's former clerk, Rod Rosenstein's former deputy, and a contributor to The Federalist has enough nerve finding nothing to prosecute but throwing into his report what sounds like a medical opinion about the President's memory but which is really just another Conservative law-breaker whipping out his schlong and putting it on the political scale. But how does the Attorney General let that document leave his department without demanding that irrelevant, unprofessional, indefensible section not be removed? Fire Merrick Garland. Now. Between this and his negligence in waiting two years to appoint a special prosecutor of Trump, he will bear the second most blame if Trump again seizes power. Meanwhile at the Supreme Court, disaster as Elena Kagan posits that enforcing the 14th Amendment gives one state the right to decide who the president will be, and Ketanji Brown Jackson falls for the "President is not really an OFFICER" fabrication. The analyst Elie Mystal thinks the vote could be 9-0 for Trump, in which case Kagan, Brown, and Sonia Sotomayor need to resign from the court. B-Block (23:17) IN SPORTS: Ex-coach Tommy Tuberville blasts Biden's memory and says he needs cues from reporters and 30 seconds later he can't remember the names of the teams and players in Sunday's Super Bowl and needs cues from a reporter. And the Oakland/Las Vegas A's saga worsens, while invoking the Oakland/Denver A's saga of 1977-80. (27:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Sarah Palin is back! And can now see Russian propaganda from her house. If every GOP accusation is actually a confession, Charlie Kirk and Marjorie Taylor Greene's theory of anti-impeachment GOP'ers being blackmailed with pedophilia is SOME confession. And of all the idiotic takes on the Robert Hur investigation of Biden, THE dumbest is by Mr. Astead W. Herndon of The New York Bothsidesist Times and CN-Bothesidesist-N. C-Block (34:32) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: Since this podcast is one of five nominees for the best politics podcast at the upcoming iHeart Podcast Awards, it's fitting to read Thurber's great story of what happened when a rookie went on radio: "How To Relax While Broadcasting."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

January 6th Judge Beryl Howell received a Judicial Complaint from Rep. Elise Stefanik for her involvement at a legal gala where she made comments critical of Trump and pending cases. Formerly the presiding Judge of the D.C. Circuit until 2023, Judge Beryl appeared at the gala with the current DOJ Deputy AG Lisa Monaco and Rod Rosenstein (former Deputy AG under Trump).Fani's cases are so weak she was only able to extract a single-sentence-apology from Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro. When asked about her case in a recent podcast, Fani gave short answers and wanted to move on.Rep. Swalwell confirms he played wingman at Hunter's press conference, telling the media he is assisting because Joe Biden loves his son.

EPISODE 203: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) FOUR DIFFERENT LEAD STORIES:  FIRST LEAD STORY: Allegation from lurid sex abuse lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani: Rudy said Trump presidential pardons were available for purchase - as of February 16th, 2019 - $2,000,000 each, half to him, half to Rudy Giuliani. And on February 7th, 2019, Giuliani revealed that if Trump lost the following year's election there was a plan in place to claim quote “voter fraud” and he repeatedly discussed the plan with his business associate Lev Parnas. Jack Smith needs to talk to this woman and get the tapes she claims she has. because if there is a CHANCE that ANY of this is true, Rudy Giuliani will flip like a cheeseburger. Paragraph 109: “Throughout the employment and attorney-client relationship, Giuliani forced Ms. Dunphy to perform oral sex on him. He often demanded oral sex while he took phone calls on speaker phone from high-profile friends and clients, including then-President Trump. Giuliani told Ms. Dunphy that he enjoyed engaging in this conduct while on the telephone because it made him quote ‘feel like Bill Clinton' unquote.” SECOND LEAD STORY: Republicans appear to have lost or misplaced (or, hint hint, never had) the Biden "whistleblower" or "informant" they think will end a presidency. The problem is, Chairman James Comer apparently uses the terms interchangeably. He doesn't know his informing from his whistleblowing. He may need to ask Giuliani.  THIRD LEAD STORY: The Durham Report is out and it consists of… nothing. No indictments, no litigation, no calls for punishments. It concludes the FBI shouldn't have investigated any of it. Just like that. The FBI Inspector General said some of the initial evidence that jump-started the investigation was dubious, but that the investigation was ENTIRELY justified. Durham's report consists of him basically saying: no it wasn't. I mean, remember what right wing media, especially Fox News, ESPECIALLY Sean Hannity – remember who they told their addicts were going to be exposed and indicted and revealed by Lord God Almighty John Durham. You ready? James Baker, John Brennan, James Clapper, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr, Lisa Page, Samantha Power, Rod Rosenstein, Peter Struck, Sally Yale and of course, evil mastermind Barack Obama. Or as it turns out… None of the Above. The Durham Investigation indicted… none of them. The Durham Investigation blamed… none of them. B-Block (19:03) THE FOURTH LEAD STORY: What did Chris Licht get himself out of prostituting Trump for the Town Hall a week ago tomorrow? He got himself fourth place. On Friday night, Vichy CNN fell to FOURTH in a three-team league. An average of 335-thousand total viewers. That's 1.1 million behind behind Fox, three quarters of a million behind MSNBC, and 22,000 behind… NewsMax? Honest to God. NewsMax. And Anderson Cooper, after he condescendingly scolded his viewers and claimed they were living in silos? Most cable news shows drop Thursday to Friday. Cooper? He dropped 28 percent. And there is no indication that Licht and CNN have finished rock-bottom yet, neither in the ratings nor the public revulsion. The Daily Beast last night not only quoted a CNN source who called the event “our Chernobyl”but added that Licht is fawning over a reporter from the magazine The Atlantic who is writing a profile of Licht and that somehow CNN and Licht think it's going to be “a glowing profile of the boss.” (29:22) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The unusual resume of the man who says you can't have a Congestion Pricing Scheme like London's in New York - because they drive on the other side in London. Plus Roger Ailes' widow attacks Murdoch. And his new book is out, but Josh Hawley's "Manhood" turns out to be a little short. C-Block (34:40) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Duke and Simba, on the death list at Devore, CA (35:40) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Well, why not? Since it's Rudy Giuliani Day, how about the story from nearly 30 years ago of when I emceed a baseball events on the steps of City Hall while he was Mayor and a) when it came time to introduce me he didn't know who the hell I was and b) more importantly all day he didn't know where the hell HE WAS.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was recently revealed that in Nov. 2017, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI issued a grand jury subpoena to Google for Kash Patel's personal records, emails, and credit card information. “And I wasn't the only one. We've confirmed at least one other senior congressional staffer was subpoenaed,” says Kash Patel.At the time, Patel was senior counsel and chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee's Russiagate investigation under then-Chairman Devin Nunes.“If you send out a subpoena to investigate a member of Congress and/or his staff, the Attorney General must sign off on that. That means Rod Rosenstein himself…had to have personally signed off on it,” says Patel. Attorney General Jeff Sessions had recused himself and vested authority in Rosenstein.Two months later, in a closed-door meeting in January 2018, Rosenstein threatened to subpoena the records of Devin Nunes and his staff, Patel says. He would later deny issuing such a threat when asked by Rep. Jim Jordan under oath.“How is it that Rod Rosenstein threatened to subpoena my emails and my records along with Congressman Nunes' in January of 2018. Yet he had already knowingly authorized it two months prior?” says Patel.In this episode, we discuss these growing scandals for the DOJ and FBI, and we also look at a recent “Twitter Files” drop that shows the FBI paid Twitter over $3.4 million between Oct. 2019 and Feb. 2021. This is just the tip of the iceberg, argues Patel.“I bet you it's ten times that amount… In January, the Republicans have to demand every relationship agreement between the FBI and every big tech company and every single dollar of our money that was spent by the FBI to put on the largest disinformation campaign to rig a presidential election,” says Patel.“And if anyone thinks that it was a one-off, they are completely wrong.”

“Just let that sit for a second. The guy who wrote the Steele dossier and was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it—Christopher Steele—by the DNC and Hillary campaign was introduced to a sub-source by Fiona Hill, the very lady who went into the Trump White House and then conjured up the Ukraine impeachment fiasco.” In the Season 2 finale of Kash's Corner, Kash Patel and Jan Jekielek discuss John Durham's recent indictment of Russian analyst Igor Danchenko, and they connect the dots on the origins of the Steele dossier and the Russia collusion narrative, including the roles of Fiona Hill and Clinton operative Charles Dolan. “I'm the lead Russia guy, and I had never heard of [Charles Dolan],” says Kash Patel. “It means to me, the FBI, DOJ under Rod Rosenstein withheld information that was critical to the Russiagate investigation that we were running in 2017, 2018. And who knows what else they've left out?”

People have some misconceptions about monitoring. Most companies don’t particularly welcome having a monitor. They view it as intrusive. They view it as — in some cases — unnecessary. Historically, prosecutors (including the Department of Justice) are not necessarily focused on what happens after there’s a conviction. You get the result; you move on to the next investigation. What happens to the company? Does it really get the message, and has it made changes?

  Affiliated Monitors Managing Director Don Stern hosts an engaging conversation with the Former Deputy Attorney General, King & Spalding's Rod Rosenstein, and Affiliated Monitors Managing Director Eric Feldman as they commence a two-part podcast on “The Past, Present and Future of Compliance and Independent Monitoring.” In part one, the trio looks at compliance, with a particular focus on the DOJ guidance as it has been articulated over the past two years. The panel discusses where compliance is now, where it is headed, and what companies might do to prepare for the closer look that they might receive from increased DOJ scrutiny under the current administration. In two weeks, the panel will return for part two, where they will shift their attention to monitoring.

In an exclusive wide-ranging interview, Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein talks to FOX 5's Lindsay Watts about how Capitol rioters could be prosecuted, his time with the “chaotic” Trump administration, his role in the child separation policy, allegations he wanted to wear a wire to record Trump and much more.

Anne Milgram, Melissa Murray, and Juliette Kayyem, discuss another crazy news week, diving specifically into the devastating revelation that surfaced on Tuesday, in the New York Times, about the application of the migrant policy in 2018 and the order from the then Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, and Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, to separate migrant children from the families, even if they were virtual newborns.

America is United... except for the left. We all agree on where the right and wrong are, but the Democrats and their media foster hate among us. Drew Brees can't even express his love for the American Flag, or America in general, without being lambasted and forced to apologize. Barack Obama addresses the nation, and does exactly zero good. Joe Biden does….well, nobody cares about Joe Biden. James Mattis calls Trump a threat to the constitution. Kayleigh McEnany makes Jim Acosta look silly, again. And mixed in with all this news, Rod Rosenstein admits there was no collusion between Trump and Russia.If you like The Andrew Klavan Show, become a member TODAY with promo code: KLAVAN and enjoy the exclusive benefits for 10% off at https://www.dailywire.com/klavan Learn more about your ad choices.

It's March 7, 2017. The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on the nomination of Rod Rosenstein to be the Deputy Attorney General. Rosenstein's whole career has been leading up to this moment. He's a non-partisan sort of guy. He's served under both President Bush and Obama. Now he's being elevated to the role of running the day to day at DOJ.But this hearing is about more than just confirming a new deputy attorney general. On March 2, five days earlier, Attorney General Jeff Sessions had announced his recusal from all investigations involving the 2016 election, a recusal which included the Russia investigation. And so, the moment he becomes deputy, Rosenstein will also become the acting attorney general for the purposes of the Russia investigation.Rosenstein is confirmed and he's sworn in on April 26, 2017. But his oath is about to be tested, like never before. Less than two weeks later, President Trump says he wants to fire the FBI Director and Rosenstein decides to help.

It's May 12, 2017. The FBI is still reeling from the sudden firing of Director James Comey. Andrew McCabe has only been the acting Director for 3 days. He's trying to talk to Rod Rosenstein about the issue weighing on his mind: how are they going to protect the Russia investigation? The FBI is already investigating whether the president has tried to interfere with that inquiry. But the Deputy Attorney General is distracted and upset; he can't believe the White House is making it look as if firing Comey were his idea. He says “There's no one I can talk to. There's no one here I can trust.”McCabe urges Rosenstein to appoint a special counsel. The credibility of the FBI and DOJ are on the line; without a special counsel a firestorm threatens to destroy the nation's storied law enforcement institutions. It's five days later—Wednesday, May 17—when McCabe sits beside Rosenstein in the basement of the United States Capitol where they've assembled the Gang of Eight. Then Rosenstein announces that he's made a decision. He's appointed a special counsel to oversee the Russia investigation and the new inquiry into the president: Robert S. Mueller III.

The Suspicious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein. President Trump retweets Terrence Williams on Arkancide. Macabre humor at the expense of The Clintons. MSM goes bananas. Can it be mere coincidence that Epstein dies the day after documents are unsealed revealing the pedophile's ties to several prominent Democratic politicians? And why is the disgraced Rod Rosenstein jumping in to vouch for the official "apparent suicide" narrative? Could Epstein have been fronting a global blackmail operation for the Intelligence Community? Our notes on the ironies of MSM pushing the Russian Collusion Hoax for years -- but then pronouncing suspicions on Epstein to be "conspiracy theories."

Andrew McCabe's World of Trouble. Disgraced former FBI Director McCabe goes on the 60 Minutes program to peddle his new book and attempt to save his own skin. In the process, McCabe admits to participating in the Deep State Coup -- confessing to opening investigations into President Trump and toying around with the 25th Amendment. Notably, his case hinges upon faux concerns that Trump may have been an "agent of Russia." McCabe reveals his embarrassing dependence upon the fraudulent garbage Steele Dossier, the pretext used by the "small cabal" of unelecteds to attempt to overturn the 2016 election. We sample related commentary from Devin Nunes and Dan Bongino, and consider the curious spat between co-conspirators McCabe and Rod Rosenstein. As we approach the ultimate SpyGate reckoning, we explain KGB John Brennan's slippery strategy of public shrieking. And by the way -- why is former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley now hanging around with Brennan? Member of the cabal? Meanwhile, President Trump declares a National Emergency at the southern border. We expect Trump will ultimately win this battle in the courts, and we review the ways in which this approach marks an incremental victory for MAGA 2020 on border security. We sample Trump Senior Advisor Stephen Miller's high octane debate with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. Why does Wallace harbor such strange passions for the open border?
