  SPEAKER_03: Have you ever heard of Martha Mitchell?
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-mm.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_01: No, I haven't.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.

  SPEAKER_03: I printed this off.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_03: There's a movie out on Netflix right now, 2022.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_03: The Martha Mitchell effect.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_03: This is what a lot of people in family court are facing right now.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_03: You know there's a fraud, you call attention to the fraud, and the people engaged in the fraud claim you're crazy.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_03: Alright?
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_03: Uh that came out of an old playbook.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_03: Martha Mitchell was in the White House, called attention to Watergate, and as a result, the Nixon administration attacked her and her mental health to try and basically shut her up.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, shut her up.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_03: Get make it so nobody took her serious about the Watergate scandal.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_01: They're trying to shut her up so she can't expose a fraud.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she was a she was a member uh she was a wife of one of the members of the cabinet.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_03: She knew that the Watergate scandal was occurring, and the Nixon administration coordinated in a conspiracy to basically make her sound crazy.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_03: She was subsequently vindicated years later when it was proven that everything she was saying was true.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_03: They weren't they were involved in a massive fraud and cover-up.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_03: So that's why they call it the Martha Mitchell effect.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: The Martha Mitchell effect.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_03: Martha Mitchell effect.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_03: Now let's go over a few things here.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_03: I want to introduce you to a former client of mine.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_03: Okay?
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_03: Take a look at this.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_03: This is a complaint.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_03: Have you ever seen a complaint before?
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: I've written many complaints.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_03: But have you ever seen a complaint from a prosecutor?
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_03: No, I actually haven't.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't know they could complain.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: A prosecutor did a complaint?
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_03: A prosecutor did a complaint.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_03: So this is a good example of a complaint.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_03: I cannot tell you what did or did not happen in terms of attorney-client privilege, but I can tell you what was publicly alleged.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: What's the difference between a complaint and a like they're just complaining about the person, right?
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_03: That's a good question.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_03: So there's a difference between a complaint and an indictment.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_03: And in an indictment, a prosecutor puts together an indictment, puts it before a grand jury, and then An indictment is like the charging them of XYZ.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: And so then they go to trial.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_03: And a grand jury issues the indictment based on the evidence the prosecutor puts before the grand jury.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_03: An indictment it charges them with a crime.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_03: With a crime.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_03: And then once they're indicted, then they go through the whole process in order to get a jury trial.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_03: But in a complaint is not an indictment.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_03: A complaint is where a prosecutor just files a complaint based on what they believe the facts are to support a law and vow and law violation.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so a complaint a complaint is a and it's a prosecutor?
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_03: That's a prosecutor.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: Files a complaint against a person, but he will he believes that they are doing a crime.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_03: There's indictments which involve the grand jury, and complaints which do not involve the grand jury.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, who decides then if it's true or not?
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Just the judge?
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_03: The prosecutor will either ask to impanel a grand jury based on an indictment or file a complaint.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_03: Those are two routes prosecutors can take to charge somebody with a crime.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_03: That is a complaint.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: And how does the who decides the complaint?
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_03: The prosecutor decides.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_03: So this prosecutor.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: I'm confused.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: Wait a second.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: So this prosecutor did a complaint about this person.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_03: And filed it with a district court, yeah.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: And then after that, you said there's no grand trial, there's no jury?
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_03: Why don't I show you our cast of characters, okay?
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_03: Remember our law enforcement agents, okay?
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_03: I need to get a more diverse cast.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_03: I realized that I picked like all Caucasian males for law enforcement agents.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_03: Uh there are women, there are minorities.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, there's no women, but not many.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: Well, there are.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you need to probably change that.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_03: I need to diversify this up a little bit.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: Please.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry, I I should have done that.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_03: Even Tom Cruise, like, seriously.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_03: Anyway, um, all these law enforcement agents, um, whenever they conduct an investigation, they will basically submit their investigation at the conclusion of their investigation to the prosecutor.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, right.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_03: And the reason they do that is because, you know, separation of uh powers.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_03: They can investigate it.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's up to the prosecutor to to charge it and prosecute it.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_03: Correct.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_03: The prosecutor takes the information they get and they prepare either an indictment or a complaint.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_01: And this is a complaint.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_03: And that's a complaint.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_01: And then where does the complaint go?
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: That's why I'm confused.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_03: So the complaint, you see at the top there?
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they filed it within the court.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_03: So they filed it in a district court.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_03: Once it's filed in a district court, the process starts.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_03: Now, this was a case that I worked.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_03: Now I I can't tell you the attorney client privileged information, but what I can tell you is what was publicly alleged.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_03: What was publicly alleged was that Stephen Moreko allegedly forged a document and got his lawyer to file that document in a district court.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_03: Family court.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_03: Family court.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_03: But this was a criminal case.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_03: Stephen Moreko, if you look at his record, at the time he had several different felony cases already pending.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_03: And so when law enforcement conducted their investigation and found that a false what they believed to be a false piece of information was filed, they filed a felony charge for making false information.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_03: It's a crime to do some of the things that people get away with in family court.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_01: So look at this straight.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: So that your client had his attorney file within the family court, let's say, a file that he signed saying that was true.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: It was really him signing it, but it really wasn't him.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_03: Let's take a look at the allegations on this, okay?
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_03: This is a publicly available document, okay?
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_03: But the allegation is that he created a false written instrument and that his lawyer filed that false written instrument.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_03: So in other words, the allegation is he he gave the lawyer something to file, and the thing that his lawyer filed was false.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: That happens all the time in family court.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_03: So why is it in criminal law we charge things like that with the felony crime of making false information, but in family court, law enforcement throws their hands up in the air and says that's a civil issue.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_01: So just okay, so this prosecutor, this guy's in criminal court already.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: This prosecutor is still looking at the case and still finding fraud, still finding that violations, right?
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_03: Basically, the investigation was ongoing.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, and so he found another thing to charge him.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_03: And so because he found an in uh and because law enforcement located evidence of an additional crime, law enforcement submitted a package.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_03: You can see the the statute here making false information.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I saw it right here.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: It's an eight non-person felony.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's a level eight.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_03: And so in family court, people create false information and file it, and the lawyers just take it at face value, yeah, and nobody gets charged.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_03: And it's a felony.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_01: So for instance, if a GAL writes up a bad report or a therapist writes up a false report, that's a felony.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: A level eight.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_03: In this case, that's exactly what happened was Mr.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_03: or well, alleged to have happened, Mr.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_03: Moreiko was alleged to have provided false information to his lawyer, which his lawyer relied on, filed, and Mr.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_03: Moreiko got charged with a felony over it.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_03: And so the question I have to ask is why the disparity?
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_03: Why is it in criminal law if you file false information, even if your lawyer believed in it, if you file false information, they'll charge you with a felony.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_03: But in family court, how come law enforcement says that's a civil issue?
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: How come?
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: Well I know they do whatever they want.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, maybe there are people who have decided that they're not going to investigate crimes committed in family court.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: So could we contact a prosecutor and say this person put a fraud, a false information in family court?
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_03: So, yes.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_03: So there's there's two ways to draw attention to shortcomings in law enforcement and a prosecutor's office.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_03: And you always want to keep insurance in mind, okay?
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_03: Because if their insurance rates go up because they're not enforcing the law and people are getting hurt, they'll pay attention to that.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_03: That's money.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_03: You first address it with the law enforcement agency.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_03: If the patrol officer is not doing their job, get the sheriff involved.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_01: So if somebody files within the family court a false that violes like that, violates this, okay?
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_01: Let's say who's our girl?
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: Who's the mom?
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: Cersei.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so let's say Cersei.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_01: Next time let me pick the character characters, okay, that people would really connect with, because you're just the nerd ones.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_03: You can we can make there could be more than one divorce.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's true.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_03: And I did read the entire Game of Thrones series.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_03: I know you did.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: I know, I know.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: It's just not many people know this, so we gotta do everyone knows.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: So next time.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no, I read the books.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I know I know I know.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: I love the movie.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so Cersei, her corporated therapist, let's say, files the all these things about the husband.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: And says he's done this, he's this, he's this.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_03: And it's a mixture of true things and blatant lies because that's who Cersei Lannister is.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_01: So then Cersei Lannister can call the police and make a report about the fraud about the document that's already filed in court that's false?
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_03: If it's a crime, it's a crime.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_03: And it's not the judge's job to prosecute the fraud crime.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, and like Sean said, if they don't listen, and they're like, it's a civil case, yeah, you go to the sheriff.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_03: You he you get a bad order at McDonald's, take it up with the manager.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: So then what?
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: The sheriff and the or the police will then investigate that therapist, that Cersei's therapist therapist for that family.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: And see if it was a lie or not.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_03: Look.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_03: Let's look at our lawyers, okay?
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_03: Bill, you hold up Billy Flynn and Cersei.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so Okay.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_03: If Cersei sends a raven to Billy Flynn, and that a raven, he means Game of Thrones.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.

  SPEAKER_03: Be nerds with me.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_03: They're nerds.

  SPEAKER_01: A raven.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_03: A raven.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_03: This is trending right now.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_03: Is that what ravens sound like?
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_03: Uh no, ravens like are incredibly intelligent.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I know.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: I've heard.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: But I thought they had a cool sound.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_03: They have call they can do a variety of things.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_03: If Cersei sends a raven to Billy Flynn with false information.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: Raven lands on his window and he grabs.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_03: And Billy Flynn gets the raven.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: And the little, where's the where do ravens keep the little thing?
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_03: Um their leg, yeah.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_03: He gets the raven, right?
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_03: And he files.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: This is called fun law, people.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, it is.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_03: This is 100% legitimate.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_03: Billy Flynn files it.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_01: So then he files the raven to the court.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_03: Then under the Moraco precedent.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: What's the Morico precedent?
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_01: Is that what it's called?
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_03: Precedent.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: Precedent.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_03: Under this precedent, Cersei can be charged with making false information, a felony.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: Level eight in Kansas.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_03: Billy Flynn can be the world's dumbest, blindest, most corrupt lawyer, willing to take money to file anything, does not change the fact that if Cersei Lannister gives him false information to file and he files it, that's a crime.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: How come no one knows this?
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: Is it does every state have this level?
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_03: I have not studied all 50 states, but I every state I have studied has a similar law to this.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_03: You can't file intentionally false instruments and you can't commit perjury.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I know.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's the thing.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_01: I was almost like, how is this legal if someone can just completely lie?
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_01: And on the stand.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_03: That's the point of the case.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: What if someone lies on the stand?
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_03: That's perjury.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_01: That's under yeah, so then you could then technically say they also lied on the stand.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_03: So you can file a complaint with law enforcement that a person committed perjury.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_03: You can ask the judge to find they committed perjury.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_03: But let's say the judge didn't.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_01: Let's say I was in court and they didn't.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: I said he's lying right here, and the judge didn't do anything.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_03: Let's look at our let's look at our cast of characters again.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: I threw some.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_03: Um.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: Actually, I landed all right there.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: It's pretty cool.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_03: Let's look at our judge.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_03: The great Michael Conahan, the Cash for Kids judge.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_03: Michael Conahan is not gonna find.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_03: Hold on.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_03: Michael Conahan is not gonna find that his drinking buddy, Billy Flynn, did anything wrong.
• 15:53
  unknown: Right.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_03: Because that's part of the crime.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_01: But if he was on the stand and lied, that's under oath.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_01: That's perjury.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_01: Wouldn't that be a felony too?
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_03: Remember, we're talking about schemes and artifices to defraud.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: So So you mean it has to be a paper.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: Why uh uh it has to be paper.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_03: If the judge and the lawyer are deliberately disregarding or willfully ignorant, those are key terms, deliberately disregarding, willfully ignorant, to the fact that false information and perjury is going on, that's evidence of a crime.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, but not on the stand.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm sorry, I'm just saying, like if there's he got on the stand and lied about Caesar.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: Caesar?
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: Cersei.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: Cersei.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: Cersei, and he lied and said, All that let's say he she she ran the car into this, and da-da-da-da.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: And it's all a lie.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_01: Is that a way we could do it?
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_03: That could potentially be perjury.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_03: Now, it has to be something that you can prove is wrong.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_03: So for instance, if you've got an alibi, right?
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_03: Let's say they that Robert Baratheon makes this testimony, says Cersei ran the car into the garage, right?
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_03: And Cersei produces an eyewitness and a receipt showing that Cersei wasn't even at the property at that time.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_03: Well, that is independent evidence.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_03: Whereas if Cersei says, Well, I didn't hit the car, or I didn't hit the garage.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_03: Well, that's subjective evidence.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_03: Okay?
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_03: So you need hard evidence to prove perjury.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: Which is not hard on family court.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_03: So I wanted to introduce you to that because I wanted to draw attention to the double standard that in criminal law this is incredibly uh highly regulated and it's subject to a microscope because people go to prison, and what do you think they do from prison whenever they've been wrongfully convicted?
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_03: They write.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_03: They write, they and they they have family uh who writes and they file lengthy appeals.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_03: So in criminal law, we don't tolerate the f filing of false information and the solicitation of perjury.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_03: But in family law, this happens and it does not get charged.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: So, question, let's bring this to around to the Lindsey Clancy case, the trial that's going on right now.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_01: And let's say that there is a nurse on there, a doctor, a therapist, got on the stand and lied.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_01: Could they then get in trouble for that?
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_03: If a witness comes into court and commits perjury, that witness can face contempt um allegations and can face an independent perjury charge.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: So let's say after the trial is over, we have proof that that didn't happen, let's say.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_01: Who would then be the one to tell you would then, like you said, call the cops or the sheriff's ride report and then press the prosecutor to look into it?
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_03: It's almost universally the victims of whoever's committing the perjury who files the complaint.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_03: And it's almost always after the trial is over that this information to call attention to the false information comes out.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_03: Because when you're in a trial, you're in a trial.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_03: And it's the days, months, years later where you get to look back at that transcript with hindsight 2020 and see and say that person forged a document document, made false information, committed perjury.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: It reminds me of the Karen Reed.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's actually in the same court.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_01: Have you did you ever go the Karen Reed case?
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, so good.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: But that one, um, the the cops said that she killed her boyfriend.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_01: But she didn't.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_01: She got free.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_01: But now she's suing the cops for lying on the stand.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_01: But why didn't they get charged?
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 20:07
  unknown: Okay.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_01: Well, well, and maybe they they didn't they don't have solid proof, even though even though she came out not guilty by a jury, that's not solid proof.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_01: They lied.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_01: True.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_03: People get found not guilty all the time, and it's also not a crime to be wrong.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, okay.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_03: So if you believe something and you have a good reason to believe it, um, and you know, you're you're you're not gonna be able to do that.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_01: That's why people on the stance is the best of my knowledge, or what I think I, you know, like what happened, what they think happened, because it's not like factual stuff.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_03: To be held accountable for a crime, you have to have the proper mens rea.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_03: Do you know what that is?
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_03: It's Latin for mentality.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_03: All right, you have to have the intention to commit a crime.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_03: And a lot of people who are in family court, they have that intention, they have that mens rea.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_03: They're actively trying to lie about the other person, make up documentation, you know, all do all these terrible things to destroy their life.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and and that's not the same as a law enforcement officer or a witness going in there and saying, look, here's what I believe, here's what I'm basing my belief on.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_01: Right, that's different.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_03: And then a jury just saying, look, we think we just don't agree with you.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_01: So what if an attorney writes up everything?
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: So you're saying this guy's attorney wrote it all up based off of what this guy said, and but the guy got charged, even though the attorney didn't know.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_03: This is publicly available information, so I'm not revealing any attorney client secrets.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_03: But the allegation was that the attorney filed something without independently verifying the information that they were filing was true and accurate.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: And the ch and then the attorney's not going to get hurt in trouble.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_03: The the attorney did wind up getting in a little trouble.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_03: Did he?
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_03: But again, that's the difference between criminal law and family law.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_03: In criminal law, we hold Hold each other to a high standard.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_03: Okay?
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_03: Because lives hang in the balance.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_03: There's the victims to take into account, there's the accused to take into account.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: And there's Which is funny though, because it's family it's actually, yeah, you guys hold the these people's lives.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: They can go to jail or death rope, you know.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_01: But family court holds children's lives.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_01: And our lives.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_03: It constitutes a it's almost the same.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I think that you're making a valid a point uh point, though you may not necessarily understand it, that this constitutes a sort of detention.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_03: You're you're detaining somebody with some of these, you know, court actions without them ever having been accused of or convicted of a crime.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 22:45
  unknown: Right.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_03: So that's an important constitutional consideration.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_03: So anyway, I wanted to introduce you to Stephen Moreco.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_03: Um let's talk about dirty judges and dirty lawyers.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_03: I love this.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_03: So the trouble we have is that judges and lawyers are basically all humans.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_03: Which means they screw up and what tends to happen is they make a mistake and rather than own up to the mistake, say, I look, I made a terrible mistake and I need to rectify that.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_03: What they do is they engage in a cover-up that's far worse than the mistake they made.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_03: So let me introduce you to Hannah C.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_03: Dugan.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_03: Take a look at this.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_01: Indictment?
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_03: This is an indictment.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: The grand jury charges that on April 18, 2025, the state of Eastern of Wisconsin, Hannah Duncan, knownly concealed, E.F.R., a person for whose whose arrest a warrant wait, a person for whose arrest a warrant and process has been issued under the provision of law of the United States.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_01: So so as to prevent the discovery and arrest, is that a child, EFR?
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_03: That's an adult.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_01: Adult, okay.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_01: How come they didn't put their name in there?
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_01: After notice acknowledged the fact that a warrant and process had been issued for the okay, violation.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_01: What does this mean?
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_03: So basically, what Hannah Dugan did was she used her courtroom, her robe, her gavel, her status as a judge in order to commit a federal crime.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_03: She pled not guilty.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_03: She took the case all the way through to trial.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: But what'd she do?
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't understand, like what'd she do?
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_01: Does she it says as so to prevent the discovery?
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_03: So there was a warrant out for an individual who had a case in her court.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_03: It was an immigration warrant.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_03: And the individual had domestic violence charges pending in Dugan's court.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_03: And so Dugan led him out the back door so that he would not get arrested by federal agents in the lobby.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_03: That is a crime.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_01: And this is a judge.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_03: That's a judge.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_03: Hannah Dugan, not just any judge.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_03: She was the president of the Milwaukee Bar Association.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_03: And guess what some of the reforms she championed were?
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_03: Virtual court.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_01: Ah.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_01: And it's funny, United States of America charged her.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_01: So the head prosecutor or the DOJ, right?
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_03: The Department of Justice charged her.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_01: Charged her.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_03: Convicted her in a trial.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_01: That was held in w Wisconsin, a district in Wisconsin.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: Huh.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_03: She pled not guilty.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_03: Now here's what I want you to understand is the mentality of these people, okay?
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_03: When they're caught, and when you accuse them of these things, they're most likely going to fight tooth and nail.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_03: Of course.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_03: She did not come in and say, look, I made a terrible mistake here, I'm sorry, and you know, throw herself on the mercy of the court.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_03: No, she fought tooth and nail until she was convicted.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_03: Still fighting to this day.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_01: Can she practice still and work while she's fighting it?
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_03: So that is a separate issue, but she um, I do believe she resigned from the bench over this rather than face judicial removal proceedings.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, upon learning that the administrative warrant was out for the arrest, directing all identified members of the ICE task force to leave the location of the planned arrest.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_03: So that's what a recent case looks like.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_03: 2025, that judge got charged by indictment from the grand jury and got convicted of a federal crime.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_03: So this does happen.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, that's cool.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_01: That's really cool.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_01: So So how would how would a situations as that really happened?
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_01: Now, now take take that into the Cersei and the family court.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_01: So, what are some things that judges can do that would get charged by the DOJ?
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_03: Here, let's look at our our cast of characters again, okay?
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_03: Let's look at our judge.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_03: Judge Conahan was tried, or what I believe was convicted of the Cash for Kids scandal.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_01: He was That was on our one of our episodes, if you want to.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_03: There was proof that money was being routed to him for his orders in relating to the detention of children.
• 27:53
  unknown: Right.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, cash for kids.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_03: He owns that.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_03: Well, fast forward to today, people like this are still on the bench.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_03: This is still a viable way to make money.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_03: So if a judge is providing orders in an improper manner or a criminal manner, they can be subject to violation of the judicial canons or an indictment.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_03: So let's say our friendly neighborhood Telegardian ad lightum, remotely working from their hostel in Costa Rica, uh where they very diligently bill$400 an hour to look at six different portal systems in three different circuits for 150 children, then they refer and they make referral fee payments to 70 lawyers, right?
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_03: If you can trace that money from that remote working GAL who's never met anybody in person, never come to court in person, back to one of this guy's orders, you potentially have a conspiracy to commit wire fraud case.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, okay.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_03: And remember, they're not gonna report on themselves.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_03: The GAL's not gonna come forward and say, here's the system I've set up for myself.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_03: The judge certainly isn't gonna do it.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_03: It's always gonna be the victims.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_03: Same goes for the esteemed Dr.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_03: Hannibal Lecter.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_03: Great references.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_03: Graduated top of his class from a prestigious university, okay?
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_03: Years of experience clinical.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_03: If Dr.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_03: Hannibal Lecter is getting thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars every day based on telepsychiatric evaluations from the Teleguardian Adliden and the telelawyers, and Judge Conahan has any financial relationship whatsoever where you can show that orders are coming from something other than the facts of the case, conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_01: So what if he um he got contacted by the GAL that said you need to run Cersei or whoever the other guy?
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_01: Cersei, you need to run Cersei and do, you know, here's an email was sent to the doctor, and it said, you need to run a psych evaluation on Cersei.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_01: Another one.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_03: That's a shadow docket.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_01: What's a shadow docket?
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_03: So let me take you back to something, okay?
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_03: Do you see this right up here?
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_03: That's a file stamp.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_01: Do you know what a file stamp is?
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's to show that it was in it's it's documented in the courts.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_03: So so read it out loud, top to bottom.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_01: The electrical, electronical file of the date, clerk of the Gary County District Court, case number, blah, blah, blah.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_01: PI complaint.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_03: This is a document that was filed into the case.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_03: Which means it is something that the appellate courts can look at if this individual wants to raise an appeal.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_03: That email, that wire, between the teleguardian ad lightum and the judge, and the teledoctor does not have a file stamp.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_03: It's a shadow docket.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_01: Is that still wire fraud though?
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I'm gonna give you the classic lawyer answer.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_03: Depends.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_01: Right, right, right.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm saying the the the the GAL email saying, hey, the judge wants the Cersei to get another one just said that, but yet it didn't happen.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_03: Wouldn't it be a good one?
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_03: The way to get an order from a judge is to file a motion that's electronically filed, and to get an order from the judge.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_01: But the and since there wasn't an order, the GAL lied through an email to the doctor saying that the judge said that.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_01: Wouldn't it be?
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_03: And so that's what we're trying to point out here.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_03: Is that so much of what happens in family court does not happen in family court.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_01: But wouldn't couldn't that be charged for conspiracy?
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_03: Potentially.
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_03: Potentially.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_03: I can tell you this much.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_03: Judges are not allowed to be willfully ignorant and deliberately indifferent to fraud.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_03: If this judge knows that the Telegardian Ed Lightham and Dr.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_03: Hannibal Lecter are in cahoots, the judge is not allowed to be blind to that fact.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_03: Because it's their courtroom.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_03: And they're not stupid people.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_03: Okay?
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_03: And especially if kids and families get hurt.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_03: That is so Hannah Dugan, one example of a dirty judge.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_03: Alright?
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_03: Now, let's talk about William Webster.
• 33:10

  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.

• 35:02
  SPEAKER_03: They had a bunch of they had computers.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but they didn't have email.
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_01: They didn't, there was no internet.
• 35:07
  unknown: Okay.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_01: Chat chat box chat uh rooms didn't come until I was 10.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_03: All right, let me walk you through something, okay?
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_01: But he got in trouble for a wild fraud.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, here's how the conspiracy worked.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_03: The conspiracy for William Webster worked like this.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_03: There were two sides of it.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_01: Two sides of it?
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_03: There were two sides of the conspiracy.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_03: William Webster was a big deal in politics down in the Boot Hill of Missouri.
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_03: Big time Republican.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_03: He became attorney general.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_03: If you donated to his campaign, you got favors.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_03: What was happening was lawyers were filing false information, artificially inflated complaints, against Missouri's second injury fund.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_03: Okay?
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_03: Somebody would trip over a briefcase.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_03: Over and over and over again.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_03: And each time they tripped over a briefcase, they needed a million dollars to compensate them for their injuries.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_03: And they had.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_03: They had doctors on on their payroll.
• 36:15
  SPEAKER_03: They'd take their fake injured client to, that doctor would corruptly say this person needs a million dollars because of their severe injuries from tripping over their briefcase.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_03: The case would get in front of a judge.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_03: Now, William Webster, as the top law enforcement official of Missouri, was supposed to be indicting this sort of thing.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_03: Okay?
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_03: And instead, for a campaign donation, he would look the other way.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_03: But not just that.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_03: For campaign donation, this is where the second tier of the conspiracy comes in.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_03: There was the attorneys who were filing false information.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_03: Family court.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_03: William Webster set it up so that his office, the Missouri Attorney General's office, hired private firms to defend the fake cases and bill exorbitant amounts of money to not call attention to the fact that it was a giant fraud.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_03: So the plaintiff's attorneys would make a mountain of money for fake injury cases, and the privately retained insurance firms would make a mountain of money getting paid by the people of the state of Kansas to defend fake injury cases.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_01: Jeez.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_03: Now, what does that sound like?
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_01: Conspiracy.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_03: Where have you heard that kind of conspiracy before, though?
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_01: Family court.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_01: Where it was so give us an example, family court now, with the same scenario.
• 37:50
  SPEAKER_03: So family court.
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_03: Uh these family the family law bar is small, right?
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_03: Today, you know, let's say you're a family court attorney.
• 38:00
  SPEAKER_03: Today you've got the villain, and I'm representing the hero, right?
• 38:04
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I'm not gonna file a sanctions motion against you for filing the crazy nonsense if I'm a member of a conspiracy.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not gonna try and sanction you as a lawyer for filing crazy stuff on behalf of your villain attorney.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_03: And do you know why?
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_03: Because I'm making a mountain of money defending it.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_03: And next week, I'm gonna get a new case where my client's the villain and your client's the hero, and I'm gonna do the same thing back to you.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_01: That's why the attorneys don't.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_01: Do they do that in criminal court?
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_03: No, we don't do that in criminal court.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_03: So if you are in criminal court and you find the other attorneys doing this, you would if I find a prosecutor doing anything outside of what a prosecutor is allowed to do, I have an ethical and legal obligation to raise it with the trial court so that I can, you know, do my job on behalf of my client.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_03: And that keeps everybody honest.
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_03: I and that's why I say there's less criminals in criminal law, is because we're so tightly regulated, there's so many eyes on us, the stakes are so high, and it's publicly available information that we don't get away with much.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_01: So let's let's go back to the Lindsey Clancy, because everyone's watching this.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_01: The prosecutor, and then her attorney.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 39:30
  SPEAKER_01: So think about as her prosecutor was this guy, let's just say.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_01: And so they found that let's say her the prosecutor was had so the other attorney had the villain, and the prosecutor has the state saying that she killed the kids.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_01: So you're saying that they like you just showed that they can make money.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_03: So in criminal law, it's not as easy.
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_03: Both of the the William Webster case was a s was civil cases.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_03: William Webster, there was something called the second injury fund.
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_03: These personal injury attorneys were filing.
• 40:09
  SPEAKER_03: So they're two attorneys regularly.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_03: It's not a prosecutor attorney.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_03: They weren't prosecutors.
• 40:14
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_03: So here's what you're going to really like about this, okay?
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_03: Nobody wanted to indict the attorney general of Missouri.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_03: No one.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_03: The uh Sheriff's Department, the police department.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_03: Just because?
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_03: For the obvious political reasons, who in the Jefferson City Police Department and the Cole County Sheriff's Department and the Missouri Highway Patrol is going to say, hey, you know what we ought to do?
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_03: Let's open a criminal investigation on the Missouri Attorney General.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_03: Right?
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_03: Nobody's doing that.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_03: So what happened was the media did it.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_03: The media?
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_03: When you're attacking a large-scale criminal enterprise, okay, you don't want to attack from just one angle.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_03: You want to attack on multiple fronts.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_03: You want to attack legislatively.
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_03: You want to attack in criminal court.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_03: You want to attack in civil court, but people forget about the media.
• 41:22
  SPEAKER_03: What happened?
• 41:23
  SPEAKER_03: What brought down William Webster was the St.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_03: Louis Post Dispatch.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_01: This the St.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_01: Louis Post Dispatch?
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_03: There were lawyers who were looking at what some of these lawyers were doing, the St.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_03: Louis lawyers, Missouri lawyers, who were looking at what this small section of the bar was doing and were saying, look, this is a crime.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_03: You're not hurt.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_03: You're getting crazy judgments.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_03: This has got to be a conspiracy.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_03: They couldn't get law enforcement to take any action, so they went to the St.
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_03: Louis Post Dispatch.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_03: The St.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_03: Louis Post Dispatch published an article calling attention to how disparate some law offices were from others in terms of the amount of money they were making.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_01: So you're telling me.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so wait, so you're telling me the the St.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_01: Louis Post did an article that said Attorney General to plead guilty, so they pretty much published in the newspaper.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_03: They published the conspiracy.
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_03: And the people of the state of Missouri were outraged.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_03: No one wanted to file an indictment against this guy.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_03: He was too popular, too politically powerful, too connected.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_03: He was the attorney general until investigative journalists published what he was doing to the United States of America and to the world.
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_01: So then the prosecutors came in, then who charged?
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's a good thing.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_03: So then the Department of Justice.
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_03: Then it was a political issue.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then the DOJ came in, and then there were prosecutors and filed it.
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_03: Nothing gets politicians to take action on corruption like the risk of losing the next election.
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_03: And so if you've got investigative journalists saying, hey, you got a crooked crooked attorney general over here who's engaging in this crime, or a judge, or a lawyer, you're not prosecuting it.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_03: Let the people at the next election throw them out.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 43:38
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_03: So that's how William Webster got indicted.
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_03: People were complaining to law enforcement.
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_03: People were complaining in the courts, and it was investigative journalists who took down the Missouri Attorney General.
• 43:54
  SPEAKER_01: That's awesome.
• 43:55
  SPEAKER_01: That's exactly what we're trying to do.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_03: That's a little history lesson.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's cool.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_01: Give us a rundown, a timeline of what we went over.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_03: We talked about the Martha Mitchell effect.
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 44:08
  SPEAKER_03: How a known uh attack that conspiracies engage in is to say you're crazy.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_03: It's your mental health.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_03: We went over how law enforcement charges a crime through complaints, grand juries, and indictments.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_03: And then we discussed some real-world examples of corrupt judges, corrupt lawyers.
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_03: We talked about Hannah Dugan, judge, who's now been convicted of a federal crime.
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_03: She used her gavel, her robe, and her courtroom to actively commit crimes.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_03: And then we discussed the case of William Webster, the attorney general of the state of Missouri, who was convicted for conspiracy to commit wire fraud based on civil courts.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_03: And then we discussed a former client of mine named Stephen Moreco and what we can call the Mareco precedent.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_03: And that was where he was charged with a crime based on the allegation that he had provided his lawyer with false information and that his lawyer filed that false information in a district court, a level eight per uh felony in the state of Kansas.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_00: What are we going to talk about in the next episode, Sean?
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_03: So on the next episode, we're going to talk about willful ignorance and self-deception.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_03: We're going to talk about another dirty judge, uh Leslie Ann Calabrizi.
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and we're going to talk about what a Department of Justice Civil Rights Division investigation looks like.
