In this fun and informative episode, Brad Zerbo and Zak “RedPill78” Paine dive into the swirling chaos around the Epstein files memo that declared no credible client list exists. They debate whether this is a setup to embarrass Trump's administration, a strategic head fake to bait the Deep State, or proof the evidence was destroyed by SDNY prosecutors. The discussion pivots to the newly announced criminal investigations into John Brennan and James Comey over Russiagate misconduct, and whether the timing is designed to distract or signal a turning point. The hosts then break down the viral meltdown of Grok, Elon Musk's AI, which went rogue with politically incorrect truths about Epstein, Israel, and the America Party before getting wiped. Other highlights include reflections on the blackmail networks that have shaped global politics, the real implications of ending property taxes, and the grassroots enthusiasm building around the Great American Restoration Tour. With plenty of humor, personal anecdotes, and a deep look at the strategy behind seemingly contradictory narratives, this episode captures the tension between skepticism and faith that defines the movement in 2025.

The prosecution in the Sean “Diddy” Combs federal trial faced a relentless and strategically savvy defense that systematically dismantled their case, ultimately leading to a devastating defeat. From the outset, the defense aggressively challenged the credibility of key witnesses, exposing inconsistencies, motivations for lying, and gaps in the government's evidence. They effectively painted the prosecution's narrative as built on unreliable testimony and conjecture rather than solid proof, forcing jurors to question the integrity of the entire case. The defense also capitalized on the government's failure to present critical witnesses, such as Victim 3, which created glaring holes in the prosecution's timeline and narrative of a coordinated criminal enterprise. By consistently sowing doubt and framing the allegations as exaggerated or unfounded, the defense controlled the courtroom dynamic and kept the jury skeptical of the government's claims.In addition to witness impeachment, the defense executed a masterclass in legal strategy by rigorously dissecting the elements required for the racketeering and sex trafficking charges, demonstrating that the prosecution failed to meet the high burden of proof. Their attorneys used precise, clear arguments to dismantle the conspiracy theory, emphasizing the lack of direct evidence tying Combs personally to the alleged crimes. This methodical undercutting of both factual and legal foundations left the prosecution's case vulnerable and unpersuasive. As a result, the jury delivered verdicts that rejected the most serious charges, underscoring how the defense's preparation, courtroom performance, and tactical decisions left the prosecution struggling and ultimately getting “their asses kicked” in a high-stakes, complex federal trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial: How the prosecution failed to prove its most serious charges | CNN

John Quinn is joined by Robert Loigman, partner in Quinn Emanuel's New York office, and Eric Winston, partner in Quinn Emanuel's Los Angeles office.  They discuss the extensive litigation that has followed the 2008 collapse of Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme.  The litigation stems from a liquidation by a court-appointed trustee under the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA).  The primary goal of the liquidation was to recover assets for Madoff's victims.  The litigation has continued for 17 years, so far, because of the number of parties involved and the multitude of proceedings and appeals in both the U.S. and foreign courts.The trustee has pursued clawback claims against “feeder funds” under fraudulent transfer theories, targeting both “net winners” who withdrew more than they invested and “net losers” who withdrew less than they invested.  After the estate recovered $7 billion recovery from one feeder fund, investors began to anticipate higher recoveries than normally occur in SIPA proceedings.  Over time, a secondary market in Madoff claims developed, with distressed asset investors buying claims at steep discounts and profiting when recoveries exceeded expectations.  The Madoff litigation has led to several significant legal developments.  One key issue involved included the safe harbor under the Bankruptcy Code for good faith conduct.  Initially, a judge in the SDNY ruled that to show a lack of good faith, a trustee must show that an investor was willfully blind to the fraud at issue.  In 2021, the Second Circuit ruled that simple inquiry notice is enough, placing a greater burden on investors to investigate irregularities.Another significant legal development was the Second Circuit's ruling that U.S. bankruptcy law could reach transfers between foreign debtors and foreign transferees, expanding the potential reach of clawback efforts.  Finally, the Second Circuit ruled that in a Chapter 15 bankruptcy case, certain U.S. standards would apply to transactions between foreign entities even though the foreign courts with jurisdiction over the entities would apply different standards.The uniquely large and visible fraud in the Madoff litigation case may have led courts to expand legal doctrines in ways that affect bankruptcy and investor litigation more generally.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

​In Case 1:24-cv-08054-MKV, the defendants have filed a Memorandum of Law opposing the plaintiff's amended motion for the pro hac vice admission of attorney Anthony Buzbee. Pro hac vice admission allows an out-of-state lawyer to participate in a specific case in a jurisdiction where they are not licensed to practice regularly. The defendants argue that Buzbee's admission should be denied due to concerns about his prior professional conduct, which they believe could negatively impact the proceedings. They emphasize the importance of maintaining the integrity of the court and ensuring that all participating attorneys adhere to the highest ethical standards.Furthermore, the defendants contend that the plaintiff has not sufficiently demonstrated that Buzbee's involvement is necessary for their case, especially considering the availability of other qualified counsel who are already licensed in the jurisdiction. They assert that granting the motion could set a concerning precedent, potentially allowing attorneys with questionable conduct records to participate in cases without proper scrutiny. The memorandum concludes by urging the court to carefully consider these factors and deny the amended motion for Buzbee's pro hac vice admission to uphold the court's standards and ensure a fair trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

​Prominent Houston attorney Tony Buzbee has withdrawn from representing plaintiffs in over a dozen sexual abuse lawsuits against Sean "Diddy" Combs in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). This decision follows a court order from U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams, who noted that Buzbee was not admitted to practice in the SDNY and had failed to disclose this information. In response, Buzbee acknowledged his oversight and filed motions to withdraw from 15 federal cases, stating that his admission status had become a "distraction" from the pursuit of justice for his clientsThe issue arose after Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter filed a grievance against Buzbee, alleging unauthorized practice in the SDNY. Buzbee, who is licensed to practice in New York state courts and the Eastern District of New York, indicated that he plans to address the grievance and seek proper admission to the SDNY. In the meantime, he continues to represent clients in related cases in New York state courts and intends to file additional lawsuits in Nevada and California.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Texas' Tony Buzbee off Sean 'Diddy' Combs-related case

Attorney Tony Buzbee, known for representing over 100 alleged victims in sexual assault lawsuits against Sean "Diddy" Combs, has encountered a significant legal hurdle. The Committee on Grievances for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) recently denied his application for admission to practice in the district, citing his failure to seek proper admission before appearing in cases within its jurisdiction. This decision restricts Buzbee from litigating in the SDNY, which encompasses key areas including New York City's five boroughs.In response, Buzbee has indicated plans to seek "pro hac vice" admission, a legal provision allowing attorneys not licensed in a specific jurisdiction to practice temporarily for particular cases, contingent upon court approval. This process requires him to attach the denial order to each request for admission moving forward. Despite this setback, Buzbee maintains that he is licensed to practice law in New York State and remains committed to his ongoing cases.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Tony Buzbee, attorney for sexual assault suits against Jay-Z and Diddy, hit with minor roadblock

​Prominent Houston attorney Tony Buzbee has withdrawn from representing plaintiffs in over a dozen sexual abuse lawsuits against Sean "Diddy" Combs in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). This decision follows a court order from U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams, who noted that Buzbee was not admitted to practice in the SDNY and had failed to disclose this information. In response, Buzbee acknowledged his oversight and filed motions to withdraw from 15 federal cases, stating that his admission status had become a "distraction" from the pursuit of justice for his clientsThe issue arose after Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter filed a grievance against Buzbee, alleging unauthorized practice in the SDNY. Buzbee, who is licensed to practice in New York state courts and the Eastern District of New York, indicated that he plans to address the grievance and seek proper admission to the SDNY. In the meantime, he continues to represent clients in related cases in New York state courts and intends to file additional lawsuits in Nevada and California.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Texas' Tony Buzbee off Sean 'Diddy' Combs-related case

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Nick Akerman, former federal prosecutor, Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor, and the Assistant United States Attorney in the SDNY, where he specialized in white-collar crime. We break down Trump's escalating attacks on the judiciary, including his push to impeach Judge James Boasberg and Chief Justice Roberts' rare public rebuke. Nick explains how Trump's efforts to undermine judicial independence mirror authoritarian regimes and what legal safeguards remain to check his power. We also discuss Trump's violations of court orders in deportation cases, the dangers of his expanded executive authority, and the legal battles ahead as he attempts to reshape the government in his image.

Buckle up—this episode is packed! We start with the economic blackout day and dive into the latest on Gene Hackman's investigation. Trump makes waves by appointing Hung Cao, while Elon Musk returns to Joe Rogan. Things heat up as influencers get access to the Phase 1 Epstein files, and Laura Loomer isn't happy about it. We break down what was in the binder, Tim Pool's take, and Liz Wheeler's attempt at an explanation. Meanwhile, the House GOP account posts something misleading, and reactions flood in. Kash Patel's post mysteriously disappears, but Nick Freitas offers a voice of reason. Jesse Watters digs into SDNY's latest moves, and Pam Bondi scrambles to do damage control. Over in the legal world, there are new Ghislaine Maxwell updates, and the Tate brothers are released from Romania, setting off a chain reaction—DeSantis and Trump both react, but who really got them out? Elsewhere, the Tampa Bay Young Republicans stir things up, Megyn Kelly calls out the White House press pool, and Jesse Watters takes a look at KJP's latest interviews. We also cover Starlink's FAA contract, Obama's former FAA admin, and JB Pritzker bizarrely blaming Trump for grocery prices. The drama continues as Democrats throw tantrums, Newsom faces questions about his podcast, and Maxine Waters has a weird moment. Over at The View, Sunny Hostin panics about DEI, and the hosts go after Elon Musk.

John is joined by Joyce Vance, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, to discuss the Eric Adams case. Joyce explains why the decision by Donald Trump's Justice Department to dismiss the corruption charges against New York's mayor was so unusual, unwarranted, and improper; why the extraordinary fallout from that decision—resignations by all of the SDNY lawyers central to bringing the charges; an open letter by more than 900 former federal prosecutors sounding the alarm over the DOJ's effort to drop them; the unwillingness of the presiding judge to rubber stamp that effort—reflects its wider and more ominous implications for the rule of law in the Trump 2.0 era; and where the case might go from here.

The directive sent from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to drop the corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams has hit a fever pitch, so hosts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord use the bulk of this episode to break down this evolving story and what has come to light so far. They tick through how this standoff between federal prosecutors and the DOJ's directive has led to a slew of resignations, and what to watch for as Judge Dale Ho calls for a Wednesday hearing on the matter in Manhattan.  Andrew and Mary then take a beat to preview the first Supreme Court test of Trump's executive power, over his attempt to fire Hampton Dellinger, the head of the Office of Special Counsel, without cause. (Note: this office is an independent watchdog agency- not part of DOJ). And they wind up this episode by highlighting allegations from whistleblowers that Kash Patel, Trump's nominee to head the FBI, has been directing the firing of senior officials at the FBI.Further reading: Here is Andrew's piece in Just Security: The People of New York v.

In the latest explosive episode of It's Complicated, our hosts Renato Mariotti and Asha Rangappa discuss the Department of Justice's "Thursday Night Massacre,"  which led to a flurry of resignations by prosecutors in the Southern District of New York (SDNY).  Subscribe to our Patreon here, where paid members will get access to exclusive portions of this show. patreon.com/reallyamericanmedia The legal community is left reeling from the shockwaves of this drama, which started as an escalating feud between the acting Deputy Attorney General Eric Bove, and the acting US attorney for the SDNY. Listen in as Asha, a professor at Yale and former FBI agent, along with Renato, a legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, navigate these maneuvers that can't be boiled down to sound bites or quick headlines. Our hosts dissect the implications of the DOJ's seemingly quid pro quo directive to dismiss pending charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams—which resulted in the resignations of a number of lead prosecutors. The move raises red flags about the politicization of justice and reflects a broader mission to reshape federal law enforcement to fully align with Trump's agenda. We'll take a hard look at the resignation letters written by dedicated legal professionals like Danielle Sassoon and Hagan Scotten, which underscore the delicate balance between loyalty to leadership, and the pursuit of justice. Their actions also serve as a powerful reminder of the role of individual integrity in upholding democracy and the rule of law. Asha and Renato explore the broader implications for future administrations and the clear erosion of public trust in the American legal system. They'll explain how Trump's administration is both shaping and shaking the structure of the Justice Department. And we'll reflect on how these actions could redefine executive authority and prosecutorial independence in the United States. As always, our hosts close out the show by reminding us of the power of courage and integrity—and to be proactive and resilient in the face of these major political shifts.

Dan Goldman, US Representative (D, NY-10), formerly lead counsel for the impeachment investigation of Pres. Trump in 2019 and former assistant US attorney SDNY, responds to President Trump's executive orders, and to the moves by Elon Musk and DOGE to drastically cut the federal work force. 

OA1124 and T3BE58 - Emil Bove drafted an insanely stupid and corrupt memo ordering SDNY to stop prosecuting the case against the insanely stupid and corrupt (and guilty) Mayor Eric Adams.
