Blackmail: The Franklin Scandal & Jeffrey Epstein (feat. Nick Bryant)
https://youtu.be/Ff7aMFlxUlE Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who’d infamously cut Epstein a non-prosecution plea deal back in 2007, was being interviewed for the job of labor secretary...“Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to...

COI #293: White House Ignores Iranian Offer to Relieve Nuclear Deal Impasse
On COI #293, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman cover the latest Iran nuclear deal news. Connor discusses Tehran's decision to formally drop their previous demand that the IRGC be removed from the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) blacklist. Tehran has called Biden’s bluff.

However, the Treasury Department has added more sanctions and new reports are confirming Israel was behind the murder of Col....

How clear are these opening words of the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”? Judging by the U.S. Supreme Court's many ventures into this area, we'd have to say not very clear at all. There's a lesson in that. Constitutions don't interpret themselves.

The 6-3 decision -- Republican appointees made up the majority,...
