This week: Jeanine Pirro would like everyone to know this embarrassing turn in the reflecting pool case is all Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s fault. We talk about her remarkable and remarkably detailed filing seeking to dismiss charges against David Hearn related to the pool, plus Anthony Fauci refusing to testify before a Senate hearing, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

Those discussions are for all listeners, along with a look at what Todd Blanche’s letters to the Senate say and don’t say. Paying subscribers also hear about:

* A lesson from Rep. Chuck Edwards, on how being creepy can constitute sexual harassment even if you never explicitly ask for sex.

* Paramount’s litigation strategy choices.

* Capital One’s arguments that it didn’t violate the president’s civil rights.

* Judge Amit Mehta reluctantly vacating the case against Stewart Rhodes.

* More problems with posting through it at DOJ.

* And Kash Patel being deprived of a default judgment in a bullshit defamation case for the court’s lack of personal jurisdiction over the defaulted defendant.

This week: Did you miss James Comey? Well, he’s back: he’s filed a flurry of motions attacking his prosecution for seashell-related offenses. We talk through all of them, plus motions from Olympian James Hearn, who also wants to look into possible grand-jury shenanigans leading up to his indictment for damaging the liner of the reflecting pool.

All listeners get our discussions of those cases. For premium subscribers, there’s also:

* Why the Trump administration has given up, for now, on its subpoenas to New York Times reporters.

* The administration admitting it canceled energy project grants based on whether they were in states that voted for Trump.

* Discovery trouble for Trump in his lawsuit against the BBC.

* More Epstein files shenanigans.

* Justin Baldoni — already not having a great couple of years — losing an anti-SLAPP lawsuit against his production company brought by The New York Times.

* Chriayu Rana suing JP Morgan again, this time in federal court, and…

* an exciting new business venture from Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl that is not (yet) the subject of a legal proceeding.

What a reversal of fortune for Andrew and Tristan Tate! One minute you’re the toast of (certain quarters of) MAGA; the next minute federal agents are arresting you, intending to extradite you to face rape charges in the UK. This week, we talk about how extradition works, and while Trump could intervene at any time to stop the extradition, his spokeswoman says he won’t.

Also this week: Federal officials failed to preserve key evidence in the case of the alleged reflecting pool vandal — that is, the government threw away the liner. The Trump DOJ is once again fighting with local district judges over who should serve as interim US Attorney, and what’s new this time is that the fired interim appointee is suing to get his job back.

Paying subscribers also get:

* A fairly silly defamation lawsuit from Madison Square Garden against Wired, and discovery trouble for President Trump in his “$10 billion” lawsuit against the BBC.

* Trump’s flailing effort to get the courts to order E. Jean Carroll to give him his $5.6 million back, and what he’d have to do in order to actually draw Rule 11 sanctions with this nonsense.

* A new court we’d never heard of, because it had never been used before this month: the Alien Terrorist Removal Court.

* A lawsuit that says Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is proselytizing to her employees in violation of the First Amendment — and, yes, the Administrative Procedure Act.

* And a really weird AI misuse case from Brazilian labor courts.
