Pam Bondi got her ass handed to her in court yesterday, and charges were dropped against Letitia James and James Comey in a very embarrassing, embarrassing ruling. Let's listen to how Pam Bondi responds. Just gave your reaction to the James Comey, Leticia James cases being dropped today back in Washington. James Comey put out of video. He said this matters most because a message has to be the President of the United States could not use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies. Your reaction to the cases being dropped into that. Sure, we'll be taking all available legal action, including an immediate appeal to hold Letitia James and

James Comey accountable for their unlawful conduct. What's your reaction to his statement? I'm going on this. I'm not, you know, I'm not worried about someone who has been charged with a very serious crime. His alleged actions were a betrayal of public trust. Okay, this woman has zero credibility. She agreed to be the attorney general for a man who is a convicted felon. So you just have to start there. So the jet stream of bullshit rolls downhill from there. Subbing for pumps today is my criminal defense attorney husband, Josh Welch. Josh, the judge dismissed with prejudice. Tell our viewer what that means. Well, the judge actually dismissed it without prejudice. And the only reason for that is because it was dismissed on a procedural basis. So there's also the other issue with the statute

of limitations and so forth. But if you want to interpret what Ms. Bondi said in that video, you could basically, from where we said, interpret that to mean we don't have a chance in this. We're going to lose our asses kick. Let's move on. Because that's what you say. You say, well, we're going to appeal. We're going to use every breath. the law to take this appeal and it's a very serious offense, i.e., you interpret that, we got our ass kicked. So do you think they're not going to do anything further with this? I think that they'll appeal it and I think it's gone. It's clearly gone. The appointment of Ms. Halligan was clearly improper. She didn't have the authority to seek an indictment. I think all of that's crystal

clear. They do have the right to appeal, but this case is over. It's done. Okay. Some more legal stuff dropping right now. Kylie put this up. Expedited Freedom of Information Act on the Epstein files, yeah. There's a reason certain folks are sweating through their spray tan tonight in hiding. Kyle Cheney reports Judge Chetkin orders expedited processing of FOIA request for files related to DOJ's handling on the Epstein files. Josh, what does this mean? Well, and I'm going to read just a short excerpt from the order, but it says the request the request for records reflecting all correspondence between Trump and Epstein is plainly tied to the concern discussed in the media that the Justice Department reversed its position on the disclosure of the documents, only after Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly informed the president that his name appears in the files. So put that in layman's terms for us.

So the court has seen that reversal by the Attorney General's office, and based on that, has found a basis to expedite this person. process and it's basically telling the Department of Justice, you're going to have to get these emails, you're going to have to disclose them, and you're going to have to do it promptly. And what is that tidbit about the judge actually said Pam Bondi told the president that his name was in them? That's right. And that provided the court the basis to issue an expedited order because the burden of proof was on the plaintiffs in this case to show that there is a compelling reason.

I think the judge is using as an example of Pam Bondi's reversal on this position and how important this particular issue is to the public integrity of this office. Okay. And then this president, every single day, you guys, he just does the most unethical, borderline, illegal actions imaginable. And everything is a shakedown. Everything is a hustle to enrich himself or his friends. So put this up, Kylie.

Big scoop. New lawsuit accuses Binance of knowingly enabling October 7 terror attacks. Among the 306 American plaintiffs are the families of Israeli Americans, Hirsch Goldberg, Poland, and Italy Chen. And Trump recently pardoned this leader, CEO of Binance. Josh, what can you tell us about this? So there was a lawsuit filed yesterday in federal court in North Dakota, and it basically accused Crypto Giant Binance of and the former CEO, Jal, the gentleman that received a pardon from President Trump, of knowingly transferring funds to terrorist organizations that were involved in October 7.

And this is a fairly significant event because basically Mr. Jal pled guilty to money laundering. he was prosecuted by the Biden administration. He had spent approximately four months in jail, and then President Trump pardons him. And President Trump acts as if he doesn't know who he is when he pardons him. The one thing that President Trump doesn't say is that last May, Binance, participated in a $2 billion business deal with World Liberty Financial, which is the crypto company founded by the families of Trump and Whitkoff. So there you have it.

Whitkoff, the Russian negotiator? That's right. That's right. So this pardon links both the October 7th attack, and we have a government who is giving a blank check to Benjamin Netanyahu to, quote, defend itself. And Whitkoff is tied to the crypto in this and the Trump family is tied to the crypto of this guy. And that's why he got the pardon. That's right. So this guy clearly, one thing that hasn't been said is, is this particular company, Binance paid a $4 billion fine when it pled guilty. So these people have a ton of money.

And so what can money buy you with the Trump administration? Obviously, as we see, it can buy you a pardon because several months before in May, as we just discussed, this particular company, Binance, participated in a $2 billion business deal with the Trump family crypto company and Mr. Whitkoff. So all of these things are somewhat interconnected, and then you see him pardoned. You now see a lawsuit filed against this individual and finance saying that they funded the October 7th attacks and some of these terrorist organizations. So this story has a lot of antennas and goes a lot of different directions. Okay. And an antenna I want to focus on right here with this is Whitkoff, and you may remember in our news drops yesterday,

it was revealed that Whitkoff negotiated with Jared Kushner behind the state department. departments back, basically a peace plan. And this peace plan was from the Kremlin. Whitkoff has no foreign policy experience whatsoever. Jared Kushner has no security clearance. He is on the Saudi's payroll. So why do all every time you shake and strip all this down, there is somehow a Putin connection with a lot of this stuff? And I would be remiss. If I didn't mention that Benjamin Netanyahu war criminal who has a warrant out for his arrest, he wanted Hamas to stay in power so he himself could prevent going to trial and potentially getting incarcerated so that he could stay in power of Israel.

So I don't think there's ever been a better time to be a white-collar criminal, not only in the United States, but on the global stage. there's never been a better time to gaslight all of these people. And you see these dark forces connected behind all of these multi-billion dollar nefarious companies that are shaking down everybody left and right. The common thread here is money, is money. And you look at how this has been normalized to the extent that in May you have Trump's crypto family business receiving $2 billion dollars with this individual Whitkoff. And several months later, you see Trump pardoning this individual, Mr. Zao, and you think to yourself, we're not even talking about that. Back in the day,

that would be unheard of. Impeachable. Impeachable. You would be completely taken out if you accepted that much money from a family and then three or four months later pardon that individual. We're talking billions of dollars. And here's the thing about Trump that people need to realize. He's an equal opportunity grifter. He makes sure he rips off everybody. So from this situation here with this billions of dollars in crypto, he's going to shake down and hustle there to make sure he enriches himself personally. To the tunes, billions of dollars. And if that's not enough, he wants to make sure that Ma and Paa in rural America are buying his Bibles or buying his Trump Trout or buying his Christmas ornaments. This guy,

rips off everybody on the planet in MAGA, he doesn't give a shit about you. He has no long-term thinking in anything other than how can I enrich myself and how can I get a quick win?

Moving along here, Charlie Sykes has some reporting on Cash Patel inside the MAGA administration. And he said, there is a dawning realization, even within the Trumpian swamp of grift, that Cash Patel is turning out to be a

clueless, ethically tone-deaf, Creighton. And what I have to say about even within the Trumpian swamp, it takes 10 months to figure out that a two-bit podcaster has no business being the head of the FBI. Every podcast he did was about the Jeffrey Epist. steam vials. And as soon as he gets into the Death Star, the alleged swamp, he is helping to cover up this pedophile ring that his boss, Donald Trump, is cancels deep in it. And it's just amazing to me that this man thinks he can put these podcasters and these Fox News narcissists all in his cabinet to run the United States of America's federal government. And it takes 10 months to figure out their dipshits.

The level of incompetence is breathtaking, and it has denigrated all of these positions. This is the same position that James Comey held. I mean, whether you like him or dislike him, he's an intelligent, sharp person. It has denigrated the way that people think about the government or leaders in government. You've taken these positions that were people used to respect and have dignity and pride in, and you've completely destroyed the public perception of our leaders. And that's the sad part of it, especially for people that have kids like we do, that you want to grow up in a society where you respect and feel good about your leaders. It's disgusting.

And just on a personal note, Josh, if you'll share with our listener, you are a criminal defense attorney that's in federal court often, and you have relationships with really smart U.S. attorneys that care very much about the rule of law. And you're up against them. I mean, you have a case opposing them, and you yourself have seen people resigning left and right, really good, smart minds because they can't be associated with the criminality and the double dealing of this DOJ. And tell us the impact that keeps you up at night, being an attorney that believed in this rule of law watching these agencies get completely destroyed in an unethical manner. You see, to be a U.S. attorney or to work for the Department of Justice has always been thought of to be a highly intellectual, very challenging, very rewarding job that only the brightest minds would want to work. And they're not doing that to become Uber wealthy. That's exactly right. And they're all Ivy League educated or really smart, good universities. And they make it a conscious decision to go to work for the government because they're cause oriented.

They believe in the rule of law. And so you see that level of talent. They're all very smart, very sharp. It's very difficult to get a job or used to be with the Department of Justice or the U.S. Attorney's Office. You would see transplants from other parts of the country that would come to Oklahoma just simply because they wanted to work for the U.S. Attorney's Office or the Department of Justice. And what we see on the sidelines dealing with the U.S. Attorney's Office here and in other districts

is the disappointment they have in what's taking place on a national basis, but also you see really qualified and smart attorneys that are leaving to go to the private sector because they just can't get behind what the Department of Justice is doing here. It's like a, it's devastating for them to see that this thing that they believed in has been denigrated to the extent that it's no longer the place that it was. And you have this DOJ pardoning everybody from the January 6th insurrectionists, who many of which have been re-arrested lots for sexual abuse of children. And then you have these two-bit con artist crypto people that enrich the president. And this is what the rule of law was there for to call out.

It didn't matter if you were rich. It didn't matter if you were powerful. It didn't matter if you were poor. And what has happened here is the Supreme Court gave the President of the United States immunity and the Biden administration with Merrick Garland. They just, that was the most important presidential appointment of all of our lifetime. And Merrick Garland failed this country. And if we ever get power again, we need to put the accelerator to the floorboard because it's going to take decades to restore this 10 months of just utter destruction. All right.
