In this episode, we focus on just two sets of documents: a filing by Trump’s counsel in the J6/Election Interference case brought by Special Counsel Smith against President Trump and a new filing by the FBI in the Seth Rich FOIA case.

The first filing, an omnibus reply by Trump’s team, asks Judge Chutkan to address the significant discovery issues in that case prior to any other advancement of the case. The arguments are solid, well crafted, and delivered, peppered with entertaining zingers, too. More interesting, though, are the asides, hints, disclosures, and foreshadowing.

It may be my favorite filing from that docket to date.

In the Seth Rich FOIA case, the FBI finally discloses how and when they learned of the Seth Rich homicide investigation and provides two previously sealed documents from October 2022: a Seidel Declaration describing the acquisition of the Seth Rich personal laptop and creation of an FD-302 and a Declaration by an Assistant United States Attorney and Chief of the Homicide Section of the DC U.S. Attorney’s Office.

It’s a lot to fit into a 2-hour show, and I rifle through them as quickly as I can while giving commentary and pulling up associated material here and there—a coffee and snack is recommended for this episode.

Enjoy!
