How do we prevent or catch mismanagement, corruption, and waste of taxpayers' dollars in federal agencies? On January 24, 2025, days into his second administration, President Trump fired Inspectors General from 17 different federal agencies, including the Department of Labor. If no one is watching, does that mean there's nothing to see?In this episode Pam Karlan is joined by Glenn Fine, a former Inspector General of both the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense. Glenn highlights the extensive work involved in detecting and deterring waste, fraud, and abuse within these massive agencies. He discusses the differences between the DOJ and DOD, emphasizing the unique challenges and the importance of understanding each agency's culture and operations. Through detailed examples, including politicized hiring at the DOJ and a tragic incident at the Bureau of Prisons, he illustrates the breadth and impact of the investigations conducted by Inspectors General—and the essential function of these watchdogs in maintaining integrity and accountability within federal agencies. Earlier in his career, Glenn served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Washington D.C., where he handled criminal cases, including more than 35 jury trials. He also worked in private practice in two law firms.  He is the author of the book Watchdogs: Inspectors General and the Battle for Honest and Accountable Government, with a foreword by General Jim Mattis. He currently is a fellow at the Brookings Institution and serves as an Adjunct Professor of Law at Georgetown University—and as a visiting lecturer at Stanford Law School.Links:Glenn Fine >>> Stanford Law pageWatchdogs >>> UVA Press pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X(00:00:00)  Introduction and Overview of the Inspector General's Role(00:03:52) The Impact of Inspector General Reports(00:04:39) Notable Investigations at DOJ and DOD(00:15:56) The Role of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service(00:17:23) Coordinating COVID-19 Relief Oversight(00:27:59) Importance of the IG's role in maintaining government accountability

The chief of the watchdog agency that protects federal workers and whistleblowers, Hampton Dellinger, was one of the first to be fired by President Trump. So were eighteen inspectors general and the chief of the board that protects federal workers. What is happening to independent watchdogs and why are they being dismantled? Correspondent Scott Pelley sits down with Dellinger and others to find out. Five years after it declared bankruptcy, Purdue Pharma and its wealthy owners, members of the Sackler family, have agreed to pay up to $7.4 billion in a proposed settlement that would deliver funds to victims of the opioid crisis. Correspondent Cecilia Vega investigates how this deal—potentially one of the largest opioid settlements ever—will affect the individuals and families who say Purdue's opioids harmed them. With the NCAA basketball tournament, famously known as “March Madness,” tipping off this month, the University of Connecticut men's team is aiming for a historic three-peat. Correspondent Jon Wertheim provides an inside look at coach Dan Hurley's preparations, his strategies for managing a changing roster, and his pre-season rituals.

The Land Grows Weary of its Own - Frogs for Watchdogs - Bridging

The re-election of Donald Trump as President of the United States has significant implications for the cryptocurrency market. Trump made it a key campaign promise to transform the U.S. into the "crypto capital of the world," ending the previous administration's crackdown on the industry. This sparked optimism among crypto enthusiasts who expected pro-crypto policies like tax cuts, deregulation, and even a potential national digital asset reserve. Initial Crypto Market Surge In the immediate aftermath of Trump's victory in November 2024, major cryptocurrencies saw significant surges. Bitcoin broke through the psychological barrier of $100,000 for the first time, and subsequently reached over $109,000 on inauguration day. The overall crypto market cap also topped $3 trillion for the first time last November as the market reacted to a possible Trump presidency. Stocks also rallied, with the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices hitting record highs. Investors anticipated corporate tax cuts and tariffs from Trump's administration that would benefit these markets. The dollar also strengthened against other global currencies. This short-term market euphoria was based on speculation around Trump's campaign promises of tax cuts, deregulation and other crypto-friendly policies. Investors rushed to buy crypto assets in anticipation of major gains. Loss of Momentum However, the initial surge was not sustained in the long run. In the weeks after Trump's inauguration, the crypto market lost momentum. Lack of substantial policy announcements or concrete steps by the new administration led to growing uncertainty. By Trump's first policy move in early February, a month after inauguration, Bitcoin had already fallen below $80,000. Ethereum was down to $80,000 from highs above $7,500. Memecoins like Dogecoin which had risen on hype also suffered crashes. Limited Regulatory Clarity A key expectation from Trump was clear regulations providing legitimacy to the crypto industry. However, the administration did not provide detailed frameworks. The long-awaited crypto executive order signed in January was vague, only setting up a working group to evaluate digital asset policies. It left out specifics around taxation, stablecoin regulation, investor protection and other issues, although it did establish federal policy supporting digital assets. Further Clarity Needed to Support Sectors Like Gaming and Retail Many industries are hoping for further clarity, as crypto usage continues to climb in sectors like gaming, where sites like NetBet Sport routinely offer crypto as a payment option. Greater legitimacy will allow businesses to further invest in crypto, which in turn will help it become a mainstream currency option. Conflicts of Interest Trump's personal involvement in crypto projects like the memecoins TRUMP and MELANIA also harmed market confidence. Watchdogs and industry experts accused Trump of shameless conflicts of interest and corruption for promoting assets that benefited his business empire. Controversies also emerged around the World Liberty Financial crypto project launched by Trump's family. Its ties to major crypto players like Tron raised eyebrows. All this damaged faith in Trump's motives around crypto among investors. Market Manipulation Risks With Trump himself invested heavily in crypto through various ventures, policies could be dictated by personal interests rather than public benefit. There are concerns that crypto regulation could be weakened to allow market manipulation that favours Trump's holdings. Any such policy moves would also diminish international faith in the U.S. crypto market's ethics and transparency. This would undermine its ambitions to be the global crypto leader. Geopolitical Headwinds Broader geopolitical factors could negatively impact U.S. crypto markets. If tariffs are imposed on other major economies, their retaliation could hurt American crypto firms. The EU and China are also global crypto hubs. Trump's conf...

Erano la software house degli esperimenti arditi per cui non ci si faceva problemi a stravolgere la formula di Assassin's Creed prima con Unity e poi con Origins-Odyssey-Valhalla. Quella dei Rayman Legends, ancora oggi probabilmente il miglior platform 2D che si possa giocare lontano da Nintendo Switch. Di Watch Dogs 2 completamente del mood opposto di Watch Dogs 1 eppure così centrato, di tantissime cose più piccoline ma non per questo meno di valore. Poi si è rotto qualcosa. E quel qualcosa non possono essere solo i coglioni del pubblico dopo il decimo Far Cry uguale a quello precedente.

John Duffy - The Watch Dogs Didn't BarkJun 22, 2022Ed is joined by John Duffy, who together with Ray Nowosielski has produced a simultaneously fascinating and terrifying book ‘The Watchdogs Didn't Bark: The CIA, NSA, and the Crimes of the War on Terror'.Over a ten year research period, they have uncovered actions and inactions which contributed to the events before, during and subsequent to the atrocities of September 11, 2001.The failures of the services to act on information, the coercion of witnesses and the knee jerk reaction which seemed remarkably prepared for the response are discussed in an interview which is not only informative, it is truly a catalogue of circumstance, action and disaster. 9/11 generates, rightly, a strong sense of emotion in most people, but that sense is open to manipulation by shadowy figures with malevolent intent.Review:The Watchdogs Didn't Bark takes a fact-based, character-driven approach to telling the shocking, previously unrevealed story of the NSA's failure to protect America on 9/11. Citing new insider testimony, the book explores how and why the world's most powerful and least understood intelligence agency failed to stay true to its most basic objective: protect the homeland from a Pearl Harbor style attack.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Watchdogs say they don't know if the use of restraint and seclusion on children in Oranga Tamariki facilities is justified, because the Children's Ministry is not recording enough data about their use. Investigative reporter Anusha Bradley has more.

Watchdog journalist Jonathan Choe helped bring attention to a real dog in need of saving – and a Seattle city councilwoman was listening. Some races are still too close to call. Misguided Republicans lash out against Brandi for the crime of being independent. Border counties wake up and vote red. Sanctuary cities are in for a rude awakening. 

Glenn Fine's career-long crusade against corruption might have its roots in his college days. As a point guard for the Harvard basketball team, Fine had his personal best game on Dec. 16, 1978, the same day he interviewed for–and received–a Rhodes scholarship. He put up 19 points against Boston College, including eight steals, and the team nearly eeked out a win against the favored Boston players. A remarkable day.   What Fine would later discover was that mobsters had bribed Boston College players to play worse to keep the game tight and not cover the point spread. Henry Hill and Jimmy Burke–later portrayed by Ray Liotta and Robert De Niro in the movie Goodfellas were part of the point-shaving scheme.   Fine would later be drafted in the 10th round of the NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs, but it was the anti-corruption law that stuck, not basketball.   Fine took a job out of law school as a prosecutor in Washington, D.C., and joined the Office of the Inspector General at the Department of Justice in 1995. He would go on to serve as Inspector General at the DOJ from 2000 to 2011, then at the Department of Defense from 2015 until 2020. He was one of the five inspectors general fired by then-President Donald Trump in what the Washington Post referred to as the "slow-motion Friday night massacre of inspectors general."   But what do inspectors general do? It's a question Fine wants to answer with his book, Watchdogs: Inspectors General and the Battle for Honest and Accountable Government. In this episode of the Modern Law Library, Fine and the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles discuss the function, history and importance of the position, along with ways Fine believes government oversight can be improved.   As of the book's publication in 2024, there are 74 inspector general offices at the federal level, with more than 14,000 employees. As the IG for the Department of Defense, Fine oversaw the largest office, with some 1,700 employees. Inspectors general conduct independent, non-partisan oversight investigations into waste, fraud, misconduct and best practices, and deliver their reports and recommendations to Congress and the agencies involved. The IGs cannot enforce the adoption of recommendations, but their work acts as the "sunshine" for disinfection, Fine says.   One major recommendation Fine makes in Watchdogs is that an inspector general be established for the U.S. Supreme Court and the federal judiciary, who could perhaps file their reports to the chief justice or the head of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Fine points to judicial ethics concerns and polls finding public trust in the Supreme Court at historic lows, and argues one way to increase public trust is through the transparency provided by an inspector general.   Also in this episode, Fine offers advice for anyone considering a career in public service. Rawles and Fine discuss stories of his own investigations, including evaluating the claims of a whistleblowing scientist at the FBI laboratory and looking into how the infamous double-agent spy Robert Hanssen was able to fool his FBI superiors and pass intel to Soviets and Russians.

Hey Strangers, #ubisoft #assassinscreedshadows #gaming the maker of the "Assassin's Creed", "Far Cry" and "Watch Dogs" video games, said on Monday it regularly reviewed "all its strategic options", but declined further comment on a recent report of buyout interest. France's largest video games maker has long been seen as a takeover target and has lost half of its stock market value over the last twelve months. It has been plagued by delays and the underperformance of some of its key titles. Ubisoft said in a statement that it would inform the market if and when appropriate. A spokesperson for the company declined to comment further when asked by Reuters whether the company had received any approach from potential bidders. Monday's statement followed a report last week by Bloomberg News that Ubisoft's founding family, the Guillemots, and Chinese tech giant Tencent (0700.HK), opens new tab, were considering a buyout. Shares in Ubisoft initially rose by up to 6% on Monday after the statement, topping the SBF 120 index (.SBF120), opens new tab, but reversed course and were down 1.8% at 0905 GMT. The Guillemot family and Tencent together hold close to 25% of Ubisoft's share capital, LSEG data shows, after a deal in 2022 that saw the Chinese group acquire close to half of the Guillemots' holding. ======================================= I had to Make a playlist for this lol https://www.reuters.com/technology/ubisoft-says-it-reviews-strategic-options-shares-rise-2024-10-07/ https://80.lv/articles/minority-investor-suggests-ubisoft-hire-a-new-ceo/ https://www.google.com/search?q=ubisoft+stock&oq=ubisoft+stock&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDM2ODhqMGo0qAIAsAIB&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 ************************************************** My other podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw ************************************************** article links: https://www.polygon.com/gaming/456349/assassins-creed-shadows-delay-star-wars-outlaws-sales https://x.com/assassinscreed/status/1838971189722562906 https://www.runn.io/blog/crunch-time-in-game-development ====================================== Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe9xwdRW2D7RYwlp6pRGOvQ?sub_confirmation=1 Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

Inspectors general have been called the most powerful public officials you've never heard of. They work inside federal agencies, exposing corruption and ferreting out waste, fraud and abuse. But they're also vulnerable to removal at the whim of the president. Glenn Fine was the inspector general of the Department of Justice in the Clinton, Bush and Obama Administrations. He was also the acting inspector general of the Department of Defense from 2016 until 2020, when he was replaced by former President Trump as part of a series of firings that the Washington Post called a “slow-motion Friday night massacre.” We talk to Fine about the role inspectors general play in holding the federal government to account and why he thinks they need more protection. Fine's new book is “Watchdogs.” Guests: Glenn Fine, inspector general, Department of Justice (2000-2011); acting inspector general, Department of Defense (2016-2020) - author, "Inspectors General and the Battle for Honest and Accountable Government"

John Duffy - The Watch Dogs Didn't BarkJun 22, 2022Ed is joined by John Duffy, who together with Ray Nowosielski has produced a simultaneously fascinating and terrifying book ‘The Watchdogs Didn't Bark: The CIA, NSA, and the Crimes of the War on Terror'.Over a ten year research period, they have uncovered actions and inactions which contributed to the events before, during and subsequent to the atrocities of September 11, 2001.The failures of the services to act on information, the coercion of witnesses and the knee jerk reaction which seemed remarkably prepared for the response are discussed in an interview which is not only informative, it is truly a catalogue of circumstance, action and disaster. 9/11 generates, rightly, a strong sense of emotion in most people, but that sense is open to manipulation by shadowy figures with malevolent intent.Review:The Watchdogs Didn't Bark takes a fact-based, character-driven approach to telling the shocking, previously unrevealed story of the NSA's failure to protect America on 9/11. Citing new insider testimony, the book explores how and why the world's most powerful and least understood intelligence agency failed to stay true to its most basic objective: protect the homeland from a Pearl Harbor style attack.WebsiteThe Watch Dogs Didn't BarkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Embracer Group's downfall will be long-studied as an example of capitalistic hubris you rarely see, even in our ruthlessly capitalist society. Following mass layoffs, spin-offs, and studio closures, Embracer will ultimately split into three smaller, more manageable entities, instead of acting as a lone unit with more employees than the entire PlayStation brand, including all of its studios combined (seriously). It's just another example of people in positions of power somehow knowing less about their industry, the economy, and business than completely random people that do a video game podcast. Other news: Stellar Blade's "Hard R" controversy, the permanent closure of LittleBigPlanet's UGC servers, the cultural revival of the Fallout franchise on the back of a successful Amazon show, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! How do we feel about Ubisoft's apparent abandonment of the Watch Dogs franchise? Are gaming cookbooks the new rage? Can you be a fan of video games without actually playing them? Will British people ever acknowledge Americans' acumen with a map?
