The Just Human Podcast

We’ve got a new case to follow and new documents to read! Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia on two counts: false statements and obstruction. In this episode, we go over the charges, examine their basis, consider how unlikely a conviction is, and ask, "What's the point?"

In this episode, we dive into the recent Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report on Charles McGonigal, the former FBI Special Agent in Charge of the Counterintelligence Division in the New York Field Office. Once a trusted figure in national security, McGonigal was found to have engaged in serious misconduct, including tipping off the China Energy Fund Committee (CEFC) and its chairman about an ongoing FBI investigation, secretly working for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska in violation of U.S. sanctions, and accepting large sums of cash from foreign nationals in exchange for sensitive FBI information. His actions, a betrayal of the FBI’s core values and his oath, compromised critical investigations and eroded public trust. Unpacking the OIG report’s revelations and connecting them to a broader network of high-profile figures and entities is both an intriguing and revealing exercise. From Patrick Ho and Gal Luft to CEFC and Hunter Biden, we explore how these names and cases intertwine with McGonigal’s misconduct, Deripaska’s influence, and the roles of certain undercover assets that a few of us have picked up on. As we break down the details, I share my perspective on these individuals and cases, tracing the throughlines of these swamp-draining efforts and their place within a larger dragnet of accountability. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in unraveling the complex web of corruption and the fight to expose it.

In this episode, I share insights on navigating the overwhelming news cycle, managing the urge to keep up with its relentless pace—an impossible task—while staying focused on what truly matters and maintaining your sanity. We then go over the unsealed court documents related to the FBI’s raid of John Bolton’s home and office. Was it just about the documents he used for his memoir? Is he the only target of the investigation? The court documents reveal there’s a bit more going on. This episode is only an hour long, but another episode is already recorded and on the way tomorrow. That one focuses on McGonigal and other swamp-draining cases. If you find this episode enjoyable and informative, please like, share, and let me know your thoughts in a comment.

In this episode, we catch up on the latest news regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the arrest of Tyler Robinson. We also go over the recent Epstein/Maxwell disclosures from the House. This episode is a bit disjointed, as I recorded part of it shortly before the assassination of Kirk and another portion of it a couple days later.

In this episode, I start with a brief reintroduction to the podcast before diving into a study that reveals how people categorize others into “good guys” and “bad guys” based on their own partisan biases. This tendency reinforces the “us versus them” binary thinking that politics often fuels and that we aim to challenge and discard on this show. We also examine recent posts from Trump about vaccines, and I clarify some of my recent comments on the topic.

In this episode, I provide my thoughts on the recent school shooting and how it fits a pattern of individuals with a mental derangement plus political and religious intolerance seeking violence against unarmed and peaceful targets. I discuss the 'why' of the shooter and the 'why' of the political left's reaction. Then I briefly touch on recent Epstein-Maxwell news before examining the FBI searches of former NSA John Bolton's home and office as part of a criminal investigation into mishandling of classified information. Next I take a look at news from earlier this month about a hack of PACER before spending some time going over Trump's Executive Order "Prosecuting Burning of the American Flag" and how it conflicts with the 1st Amendment and relevant SCOTUS precedent. On that issue I have some impassioned remarks.

In this episode, we begin by examining Judge Berman's decision to deny the DOJ's petition to unseal Epstein's grand jury materials—a ruling that makes more sense than it might initially seem. Next, we explore the recently declassified Clinton Foundation timeline, analyzing what might lie beneath its redactions and why such a document exists in the first place. And in the final 15 minutes of the show, I express some thoughts on conspiracy fandoms and lore fans constructing fiction upon fiction at the expense and obfuscation of facts and reason.

It is raining declassified documents in D.C., and in this episode we rifle through a couple sets of them: the HPSCI whistleblower memos and documents concerning a hidden Durham investigation about 8 other investigations into leaks of classified information to U.S. media. Plus, we investigate a newly declassified email that connects back to a CIA report Director Ratcliffe released at the end of June of this year. I think that release is what kicked off the declass storm that so far has rained down some 500 pages of declassified documents in total.

In this episode, declassified FBI memos reveal that beginning in 2017, an HPSCI staffer and career intelligence officer alerted the FBI and DOJ OIG to one or more schemes directed by then-Rep. Adam Schiff to leak classified information to media in order to smear, “indict,” and “topple” the Trump Administration. This whistleblower met with authorities at least five times between 2017 and 2023, but charges were not brought against Schiff or anyone else involved in the scheme. Might that be about to change? The statute of limitations has run out on the singular act of leaking in 2017, but since this involved several (eight or more) people engaging in a coordinated effort, it could be seen by an intrepid prosecutor as, perhaps, a grand conspiracy to weaponize intelligence and law enforcement institutions against a President and his administration. The statute of limitations on something like this has barely begun to tick. Also, the judge overseeing the Maxwell case has denied DOJ’s bid to unseal the grand jury material. This, of course, has made people on both extremes of the political spectrum very upset. But should they be? No, and even if the judge were able to grant the request, which by law he cannot, would we learn anything new? No, we wouldn’t, and revealing that may be the entire point of the unsealing effort.

In this episode, we build on our recent analyses of the Durham Report, its Classified Appendix, and the CIA and DNI reviews of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). I’ve gathered seemingly disparate puzzle pieces from the past and take a fresh look at them as we work to assemble parts of the intricate RussiaGate puzzle. We explore who or what "T1" might be, identify the CIA’s possible credible source in Moscow, and gain a clearer understanding of what lends credibility to the DNC hack and related Mueller indictment. We also reflect on setting aside our biases and reflexive incredulity so that we can approach these complex issues with clarity.
