Huge news for lawyers: You can now listen to Strict Scrutiny for CLE! More info at crooked.com/strict_cleFriend of the Pod Emily Amick of Emily in Your Phone joins Leah to break down the week's legal news, and the various and sundry ways due process is getting railroaded by Trump, the courts, and the terrible (mostly) men therein. While no discussion of bad decisions would be complete without the Fifth Circuit, we also have an appearance from Senator Josh Hawley, whose effort to limit information on medical abortion options has disturbing links to the playbook used against gender-affirming care. Then, Leah speaks with Kalpana Kotagal, Commissioner at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, about being the lone Democratic appointee after Trump fired the others, and the work of the Commission in a post-independent agency world.

The newly unsealed New York grand jury materials related to Ghislaine Maxwell provide a clearer window into how federal prosecutors built the case that ultimately led to her conviction. The documents outline the scope of witness testimony, evidentiary focus, and investigative priorities considered by the grand jury, reinforcing that Maxwell was not viewed as a peripheral figure but as a central facilitator within Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation. While much of the material aligns with facts already established at trial—including patterns of recruitment, grooming, and abuse—the unsealing confirms that prosecutors presented a structured, victim-centered narrative to the grand jury well before Maxwell's arrest, countering claims that the case was rushed or politically motivated.At the same time, the documents have drawn attention for what they do not contain. The grand jury materials remain narrowly focused on Maxwell's conduct and charges, offering little insight into why broader conspiracy cases against other Epstein associates were never pursued in New York. This has fueled renewed scrutiny of prosecutorial discretion and investigative limits, as the records show a deliberate effort to secure Maxwell's indictment while leaving larger questions about Epstein's network unresolved. For critics and survivors alike, the unsealing represents both a measure of long-delayed transparency and a reminder of how much of the Epstein story remains outside the bounds of criminal accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week on Juneteenth with a show that covers geopolitics, the courts, and an intelligence battle playing out in real time. JD Vance holds a press conference confirming the Iran MOU is producing results: 12.5 million barrels moved through the Strait of Hormuz the prior night, gas prices dropping below $4, and Iran honoring the agreement for the second night running. CannCon and Chris walk through Vance's pointed message to Israeli cabinet members attacking the deal and his revelation that the US has been funding Lebanon's internal security forces, the ones tasked with rooting out Israeli spy networks. The Supreme Court rules unanimously that the federal government cannot broadly ban marijuana users from owning firearms, with both the ACLU and NRA on the same side. Bill Pulte walks into DNI headquarters and reportedly arrives eyeing hundreds of firings, as Trump simultaneously cancels the Jay Clayton hearing and demands Jamie McDonald be confirmed for SDNY first. Steve Bannon says the quiet part out loud: Pulte knows exactly where Tulsi's election fraud files are. Mark Warner accidentally admits communication companies will keep working with intelligence agencies even after 702 lapsed. Chris Paul closes with his most complete analysis yet of the Tucker-JD Vance-Massey coordinated post-MAGA op.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid catch their breath after one of the wildest weeks in years. Iran's civilian government just ended the war, the Strait of Hormuz reopened, sanctions are coming off, and Trump's approval rating in Israel went from positive twenty three to negative twenty three in seven days. Save Israel for last is happening in real time. Mark Levin is having a public meltdown, the APEC lobby is in panic mode, and the MOU to Israel was never released. The bombshell of the episode comes when the guys catch what Trump quietly admitted at the G7. He installed Jolani in Syria with Erdogan before he was even back in office. That confirms the takedown of Assad and the dismantling of the Iran to Hezbollah land bridge were Trump's moves, not Bibi's, and it completely shreds the controlled by Israel narrative. From there they unpack the Jay Clayton ODNI nomination and his SDNY history with Maduro, the Cartel de los Soles generals, Epstein, the Weiner laptop, and the Clinton Foundation. Plus the Tulsi report driving a national emergency on election integrity, the Hochul Medicaid fraud indictment, Newsom's California DOJ investigating his own wife, and the eight man B-52 crash at Edwards that has the Mossad telegram channels celebrating.

Lesley Groff's FBI 302/proffer presents her as the person who helped run Jeffrey Epstein's daily machinery from the New York side: his calendar, calls, travel, meetings, errands, office flow, and massage scheduling. She said she began working for Epstein in February 2001 after being recruited for a job that was described as “organizing one man's life,” and she described a hectic, high-pressure office where Epstein gave her lists of calls, meetings, appointments, and people to manage. The document places her inside the operational center of Epstein's world, alongside lawyers, accountants, assistants, traders, Ghislaine Maxwell, and other staffers, with Groff functioning as a key gatekeeper for Epstein's schedule and communications. After Epstein's July 2019 arrest, FBI and SDNY records show investigators focused on potential co-conspirators, specifically including Maxwell and Groff, and met with Groff and her attorneys for a reverse proffer on July 18, 2019.The central tension in the 302 is that Groff admitted to the administrative role—booking massages, handling travel, moving messages, and managing access—but denied knowing that Epstein's “massages” were sexual abuse or that any girls involved were underage. Through her lawyer, she maintained that she had little or no direct interaction with the women, believed references to “class” or “school” meant college, and viewed Epstein as strange or eccentric rather than criminal. That denial sits uneasily against the government's own framing of the investigation, which described Epstein's employees and associates as helping arrange encounters with victims, and against later reporting that victims identified Groff as someone who scheduled massages, arranged travel, or handled logistics connected to abuse. In plain terms, the 302 shows Groff trying to draw a hard line between “I ran Epstein's life” and “I knew what Epstein was doing,” while the broader investigative record shows why federal agents were not treating her as just a normal secretary.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA01246216.pdf

The Epstein files were never sitting in one neat box waiting to be opened. They were scattered across years of court cases, law-enforcement investigations, civil lawsuits, sealed filings, grand jury materials, prison records, congressional productions, and federal agency archives. Some of the most important records came through the courts: the Palm Beach criminal case, the federal non-prosecution agreement litigation, Virginia Giuffre's civil case against Ghislaine Maxwell, survivor lawsuits against Epstein's estate, litigation against banks like JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank, and other dockets where depositions, exhibits, emails, flight logs, address books, settlement records, and sworn testimony surfaced piece by piece. That is why the public record grew in fragments: one batch from a lawsuit, another from a judge unsealing documents, another from discovery, another from congressional subpoenas, and another from media fights over access.The FBI and DOJ held another major universe of Epstein material: interview reports, search-warrant returns, victim statements, photographs, videos, seized electronics, financial records, investigative notes, jail records, and internal communications connected to both the original Florida investigation and the later SDNY case. Congress then became another repository as the House Oversight Committee sought unredacted files, transcripts, agency productions, and testimony from people connected to Epstein's staff, legal team, financial network, and incarceration. So when people say “the Epstein files,” they are really talking about a sprawling archive spread across courts, the FBI, the DOJ, the Bureau of Prisons, congressional investigators, civil litigants, banks, estates, and private parties. That scattered structure matters because it makes full accountability harder: no single release tells the whole story, no single agency controls everything, and every redaction, sealed docket, privilege claim, or missing exhibit leaves another gap in a record that was already deliberately fragmented.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Mea Culpa welcomes legal legend, Nick Akerman. Akerman was formerly a federal prosecutor and the Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York, where he specialized in going after white-collar crime. Prior to the SDNY, he made his name as the Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor with the Watergate Special Prosecution Force under Archibald Cox and Leon Jaworski. There Akerman was instrumental in helping crack open the vast conspiracy orchestrated by President Nixon and his co-conspirators that resulted in Nixon's resignation and several prison sentences for his underlings. Akerman joins us today to discuss how Trump is basically screwed in his election interference trial and why televising the trial will be a terrible idea.

In the lead-up to Ghislaine Maxwell's indictment and eventual arrest, a wide range of law enforcement agents representing multiple agencies were brought before the grand jury to lay out the evidentiary foundation of the case. Their testimony reflected a coordinated federal effort that had been building quietly for years, drawing on investigative work from different jurisdictions, timelines, and investigative lanes. Agents walked jurors through financial records, travel logs, victim accounts, electronic communications, and corroborating witness statements, showing how Maxwell functioned not as a peripheral figure, but as a central facilitator in Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation. The cumulative effect of this testimony was to establish pattern, intent, and continuity—demonstrating that Maxwell's actions were not isolated or accidental, but deliberate, repeated, and essential to the enterprise prosecutors were preparing to charge.In this episode, we take a close, methodical look at that grand jury testimony and what it reveals about how the case against Maxwell was constructed. By examining how different agencies' witnesses reinforced one another's findings, the episode highlights how prosecutors built a layered narrative designed to withstand both legal scrutiny and defense attacks. The testimony shows how long-standing investigative threads were finally pulled together after Epstein's death, transforming years of fragmented information into a cohesive criminal case. Rather than focusing on speculation or hindsight, this episode zeroes in on the mechanics of the prosecution itself—how law enforcement presented the evidence, why the grand jury ultimately moved forward, and how that testimony paved the way for Maxwell's arrest and indictment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00008744.pdf

This week, Mary and Andrew follow the money from Alabama to New York to Southern Florida. They start with an 11-count indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center alleging financial crimes and defrauding donors — the DOJ suggesting that the center's goal was to give funding to extremist groups rather than to report on them. The co-hosts find the charges dubious at best, with a speaking indictment that seems “weak” and lacks specifics. From there, they analyze another set of charges out of the SDNY against an Army soldier who won over $400,000 in online bets using his classified knowledge of the US capture of Nicolas Maduro. After reviewing the merits of that case, they head to Miami, where President Trump's civil suit against the IRS was put on pause to discern how to handle him being on both sides of the case. As Mary notes, the judge is asking Trump to essentially “show me we really have adverse parties here.”Then to DC, for a look at the charges filed against the alleged gunman in the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting, and how the administration quickly used that as another reason to build the White House ballroom in an unusual court filing. And last up, Andrew and Mary review the DC Circuit's decision on Trump's asylum ban. This podcast is also available on YouTube at ms.now/mainjustice.

In the wake of Viktor Orbán's election loss in Hungary—an autocratic leader backed by both Vladamir Putin and Donald Trump—Mary and Andrew call on an expert to give context to Peter Magyar's surprising win: Princeton Professor Kim Lane Scheppele. Kim sheds some light on what led to this moment in Hungary, what it means for Hungarians and the EU moving forward, and what lessons the US can apply here at home. From there, the co-hosts move to a concerning opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional on its face, suggesting that Trump would no longer have to comply with the federal law. Mary and Andrew align on the significance of preserving these archives, before heading to what amounts to, in Mary's words: “a bunch of garbage”out of the DOJ. On the list: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's “I love you, Sir” press conference, the firing of immigration judges for ruling in high-profile cases in a way that was unfavorable to the President, and the DOJ's investigation into Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide, about whether she lied to Congress around the events of January 6th.

While much of the news is rightfully focused on the ongoing war with Iran, Mary and Andrew pull the threads on some consequential legal news that's not getting as much attention. They start with the Justice Department's settlement with Michael Flynn, paying out $1.25 million over his claim that he was wrongly prosecuted for making false statements to federal agents. And as Mary points out in her recent MS NOW op-ed, this settlement could set a dangerous precedent, by encouraging others “to seek similar windfalls” that support Trump's efforts to rewrite history. Next, they unpack a case brought by Minnesota against the DOJ and DHS for blocking state investigators from accessing evidence in the Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Sosa-Celis shootings. And last up, the co-hosts break down a disastrous error the Justice Department admitted to this week, using an incorrect written policy to defend actions resulting in a number of arrests at immigration courthouses, as people voluntarily appeared for their immigration proceedings. You can also find us on YouTube at ms.now/mainjustice. Further reading: Here is Mary's MS NOW write up on Michael Flynn: Trump's settlement to Michael Flynn could set a dangerous precedent.  Here is the Anthropic decision:  Anthropic PBC v.

Do not miss the first part of Amanda's Epstein files conversation. To listen, click here: THE EPSTEIN FILES, EXPLAINED: Everything You Need to Know. Brad Edwards – who has represented 200 Epstein survivors for almost two decades – is the attorney who sued to expose what was later found by a federal judge to be the federal prosecution's prolonged, coordinated collusion to protect Jeffrey Epstein from facing justice for his crimes.   In this exclusive conversation with Amanda, in which Brad shares experiences during his advocacy for survivors he has never shared before, he walks us through: The incredible courage and resilience of the survivors The secret immunity deal between federal prosecutors and Epstein and the government cover-up How the DOJ seems to be intentionally revictimizing survivors in the way they are releasing the Epstein Files How he secretly worked with the SDNY to finally arrest Epstein in 2019  What the path forward is for accountability.  This episode centers survivors and the people who never stopped fighting for them, and asks what comes next. About Brad Edwards: Brad Edwards is the founding partner of Edwards Henderson and the author of Relentless Pursuit: My Fight for the Victims of Jeffrey Epstein.  He is a nationally recognized Board Certified Civil Trial attorney who specializes in providing civil representation for children, survivors of sexual abuse, and victims of violent crimes. From 2008 through 2019, Brad served as pro-bono lead counsel on behalf of the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein in the seminal case upholding crime victims' rights in this country. In 2019, the Federal Judge on the case ruled in favor of the victims, holding that the government had violated the rights of Epstein's victims under the Crime Victims' Rights Act when Epstein entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement without the knowledge of his victims in 2008. In 2023, Brad spearheaded unprecedented litigation as lead counsel against the banking institutions that facilitated Epstein's sex-trafficking operation for decades. The litigation ended in a $290 million settlement with JP Morgan Chase and a $75 million settlement with Deutsche Bank on behalf of hundreds of survivors from all over the world.
