Description
We Saw the Devil is the podcast that refuses to separate murder from power, violence from policy, and crime from the systems that create it. Hosted by Robin, a veteran true crime researcher and political commentator, We Saw the Devil digs into the cases that expose the rot at the heart of American institutions.
This isn't your typical true crime podcast. We don't just ask "who did it" — we ask who allowed it, who covered it up, who profited, and whose bodies are always the ones that end up in the ground. From serial killers protected by police to political violence disguised as law enforcement, from cold cases buried by corruption to state sanctioned murder carried out in broad daylight — We Saw the Devil connects the dots between crime, politics, and power that other podcasts won't touch.
What makes this show different:
Every case exists within systems — police departments, courts, prisons, immigration enforcement, political machines. We examine those systems.
Cases others won't cover. Police killings. Political assassinations. Government adjacent violence. Crimes committed by the powerful against the powerless.
Deep research, not just Wikipedia. Court documents. FOIA requests. Original interviews. First person sources. We do the work.
No cop worship. We respect victims and survivors. We don't lionize law enforcement or assume the official story is true.
Intersections of crime and politics. How true crime and political crime overlap: corruption, cover ups, state violence, and the bodies left behind.
Episodes covered:
Cold cases and unsolved murders
Serial killers and the systems that enabled them
Police violence and law enforcement killings
Political crimes and government corruption
Missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW)
Immigration enforcement and border deaths
Wrongful convictions and prosecutorial misconduct
Historical true crime with modern political resonance
Breaking cases with political dimensions
If you believe that true crime isn't just entertainment, that understanding violence means understanding power...this is your podcast.

They raised their hands. Every. Single. One of them.The survivors sat three feet behind the Attorney General of the United States...a phalanx of white and blacked-out redaction shirts. When asked if the Department of Justice failed them, the hands went up. When asked if they’d been ignored by the very people sworn to protect them, the hands stayed up.But when asked if they actually trusted the DOJ? Dead silence.While they stood, Pam Bondi stared at her notes like eye contact was a biohazard. No apology for the "accidental" release of victim nudes. No explanation for why billionaire predators got the luxury of a black marker while their prey got doxed.She had the audacity to say she wouldn't "get in the gutter" with the committee.But here’s the reality: The gutter is where those survivors' private lives were dumped.Let's break down the absolute circus of the February 11th Judiciary hearing.Welcome to the gutter. We’re all in it now.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
While the country argued about a Super Bowl halftime show, the U.S. government quietly revealed how power actually works. In this episode of Red, White & Bruised, Robin breaks down the week America exposed itself in real time. From the culture war meltdown over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance to the resurfacing of the Epstein files, the dismissal of Steve Bannon’s criminal case, and a Justice Department increasingly aligned with political loyalty over accountability. This episode examines how distraction functions as cover fire. Loud outrage dominates headlines while structural changes reshape the legal, political, and information systems underneath. In this episode:The coordinated backlash to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show and why culture war outrage is the pointTrump’s response to athletes speaking honestly at the Winter Olympics and the growing political cost of enforced “gratitude”Ghislaine Maxwell invoking the Fifth Amendment while quietly signaling willingness to testify in exchange for a presidential pardonNew revelations about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s post-conviction ties to Jeffrey EpsteinThe Department of Justice moving to dismiss Steve Bannon’s criminal contempt convictionA Fifth Circuit ruling allowing indefinite detention by ICE without bond hearingsLooming DHS funding deadlines and Democratic paralysisElon Musk’s renewed political spending and the growing money imbalance ahead of the midtermsThe White House’s unprecedented “Media Offenders” page and its implications for press freedomHow culture war noise, legal infrastructure, financial power, and information control work together by designThis is not chaos. It’s architecture. While public attention stays locked on spectacle, the machinery of power rewrites the rules in plain sight. This episode connects the dots between distraction and consequence...and asks what happens when the loudest outrage stops working.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
An 84 year old woman is missing in Tucson. The President posted a racist video and won't apologize. The DNI is seizing voting machines. And Kamala Harris just relaunched her social media. It's been a week. Let's get into it.In This Episode:The Disappearance of Nancy GuthrieDay six of the search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, taken from her Arizona home in the middle of the night. We break down the full timeline, the ransom notes sent to media outlets, the FBI's warning about AI deepfakes complicating proof of life, the arrest of a fake ransom scammer, a new message being analyzed by investigators, a vehicle of interest at a Tucson Circle K, and the towing of a car from Nancy's property Friday evening. Still no suspects. Still no proof of life. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward.The President Posted What?!Late Thursday night, Trump's Truth Social account shared a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, during Black History Month. The White House called the backlash "fake outrage." Then Tim Scott called it "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House." Then Republicans started calling the President directly. Then it came down. Then they blamed a staffer. Then Trump said he won't apologize. We walk through every layer.Tulsi Gabbard and the Election Conspiracy Road ShowThe Director of National Intelligence showed up at an FBI raid in Georgia, seized voting machines in Puerto Rico, skipped the capture of Nicolás Maduro, and has a classified whistleblower complaint locked in a safe alleging she restricted intelligence for political purposes. We connect the dots between all of it.Kamala Harris and the Return of KamalaHQHarris relaunched her campaign accounts as "Headquarters," a youth mobilization project that is very obviously a 2028 campaign in disguise. Robin makes the data driven case for why the Democratic Party needs to move on, including the 21 point youth vote collapse, underwater favorability numbers, and what happens when a party chooses familiarity over a real reckoning.Key Sources & ReferencesPima County Sheriff's Department press conferences (Feb. 5–6, 2026)FBI Phoenix Division, SAC Heith Janke statementsNBC News, CBS News, CNN, ABC News, Fox 10 Phoenix — Nancy Guthrie coverageWashington Post, NYT, NBC News, CBS News, CNN, CNBC, Axios, The Hill — Trump/Obama video coverageReuters — Tulsi Gabbard Puerto Rico voting machine investigationWall Street Journal — Gabbard whistleblower complaint reportingCiviqs, Marquette Law School, Catalist — Harris polling and post election dataConnect With Us🎧 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere you listen📱 Instagram: @WeSawTheDevilPodcast🐦 Twitter/X & Facebook: @WeSawTheDevilBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
The Director of National Intelligence showed up to an FBI raid on a Georgia elections office. Then she put the President on speakerphone with the agents. Then we found out she's been sitting on a whistleblower complaint about herself for eight months. This week, we're talking about Tulsi Gabbard, the woman who went from Bernie Sanders endorser to Democratic presidential candidate to Fox News guest host to Trump's spy chief in one of the most cynical political transformations in modern American history. We're talking about the Fulton County raid, the classified complaint locked in a safe, her documented history of consuming Russian state media, her secret meeting with Assad, and why Russian state TV calls her "Russia's girlfriend." I'm not going to dance around it: I think Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset. And I'm going to tell you exactly why. Buckle up.KEY POINTSOn January 28, 2026, FBI agents seized 700 boxes of 2020 election materials from Fulton County, Georgia. DNI Tulsi Gabbard was physically present, at Trump's specific direction.The day after the raid, Gabbard visited the FBI's Atlanta field office and put Trump on speakerphone with the agents. He gave them a "pep talk" for investigating the election he lost.Former FBI officials called this "unprecedented" and said there is "unanimous disgust" across current and former agents.A whistleblower complaint about Gabbard has been locked in a safe for eight months. Federal law requires transmission to Congress within three weeks.Three former aides told ABC News that Gabbard regularly read and shared articles from RT, the Kremlin's principal propaganda outlet.In 2017, Gabbard took a secret trip to Damascus and met with Assad for nearly three hours. Congressional staffers later worried she might leak information about a Syrian defector.A former U.S. ambassador to NATO called Gabbard's 2017 foreign policy memo "basically the Russian playbook."At her confirmation hearing, Gabbard refused to call Edward Snowden a traitor. Senator Bennet responded: "Apparently, you don't understand how critical our national security is."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
The DOJ just dumped 3 million pages of Epstein files. Trump's name shows up over 1,000 times. Elon Musk wanted to know which night had the "wildest party" on Pedophile Island. The Commerce Secretary's wife RSVP'd to bring the kids to Little St. James. Steve Bannon was texting a child rapist about borrowing his plane. And the guy announcing all this? Trump's former defense attorney. You can't make this shit up. But here's the kicker: survivors got doxxed while their rapists hide behind black rectangles. Fifty percent of the files are still being withheld. And Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only person in prison. For this episode, Robin rips through the documents, names the names, and asks the questions your government hopes you're too distracted to ask. The receipts are here. The excuses are bullshit. Let's go.SOURCES & LINKS:DOJ Epstein Files Repository: justice.gov/epsteinCBS News Searchable Epstein DatabaseHouse Oversight Committee Document ReleasesSurvivors' Official Statement (January 31, 2026)KEYWORDS/TAGS: Jeffrey Epstein, Epstein files, Epstein documents, Trump Epstein, Donald Trump Epstein connection, Epstein files 2026, DOJ Epstein release, Epstein island, Little St. James, Ghislaine Maxwell, Virginia Giuffre, Elon Musk Epstein, Steve Bannon Epstein, Howard Lutnick Epstein, Bill Gates Epstein, Prince Andrew Epstein, Epstein co-conspirators, Epstein client list, Epstein cover-up, Epstein FBI, Epstein Mossad, Epstein intelligence, sex trafficking, true crime, political podcast, political commentary, Trump administration, Epstein survivors, Epstein victims, Todd Blanche, Pam Bondi, Epstein transparency act, Epstein redactions, conspiracy, elite pedophile ring, accountability, justice system, Epstein network, pedophile island, Epstein blackmailBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
"They say history repeats itself, but usually it has the courtesy to let you catch your breath between atrocities."This week, the world watched as American foreign and domestic policy went from "unstable" to "active crime scene." From the decks of an "enthusiastic" aircraft carrier to the steps of a violated consulate in Minneapolis, the rules of the game have been set on fire. Robin breaks down the illegal incursions, the paramilitary tactics being used on American soil, and the administrative lies falling apart in real-time.In this episode:The "Enthusiastic" Armada: Trump’s latest threats against Iran, the return of Operation Midnight Hammer, and why the administration is using "speed and violence" as a poll-number pivot.The Board of Peace: A dive into Jared Kushner’s $7 trillion "colonial parody" and the plan to turn Gaza into a seaside resort.Consulate Chaos in Minneapolis: A federal agent’s attempt to storm the Ecuadorian Consulate, the violation of the Vienna Convention, and why Italy is comparing American law enforcement to the SS.The Alex Pretti Narrative: The truth behind the "massacre" lie, the role of Stephen Miller in fabricating an assassin story, and the fallout for Secretary Kristi Noem.The Database is Real: Inside the federal plan to "make protesters famous," the use of LRADs on American citizens, and the database flagging of "agitators" before they end up in ICE custody.The Human Cost: The heartbreaking deportation of 5-year-old American citizen Génesis Ester Gutiérrez Castellanos and the rising body count in federal detention.The Politics of Spite: The attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and the looming government shutdown over DHS funding.Keywords: Trump Iran threat 2026, ICE protest database, Ilhan Omar attacked Minneapolis, ICE Minneapolis shooting, Alex Pretti, Kristi Noem impeachment, Vienna Convention violation, Ecuador consulate ICE, Italy refuses ICE Olympics, Tom Homan database, domestic terrorist database, Operation Metro Surge, Judge Schiltz ICE contempt, 5-year-old deported Honduras, Génesis Gutiérrez Castellanos, Keith Porter ICE shooting, Renee Good ICE shooting, Trump approval rating 2026, DHS funding shutdown, Stephen Miller, abolish ICE, immigration enforcement, federal agents protesters, LRAD sound cannon, Zipps raid Phoenix, Board of Peace Gaza, Jared Kushner Gaza, Trump Truth Social, mass deportation, sanctuary cities, political podcast, news podcast, current events 2026Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
Two American citizens have been killed by federal agents in Minneapolis in less than three weeks. On January 24, 2026, ICU nurse Alex Pretti was shot ten times..mostly in the back...after trying to help a woman who had been shoved to the ground by ICE agents. Video shows he was disarmed before he was killed. Within hours, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem called him a "domestic terrorist." Hours after his death, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz with a chilling demand: hand over your state's voter rolls, or the federal agents stay. In this episode, Robin connects the dots between the ICE occupation of Minneapolis, the expansion to Maine, and the Trump administration's nationwide campaign to seize voter data from 24 states. What emerges is a terrifying picture: immigration enforcement as political weapon, federal agents as a goon squad punishing dissent, and a roadmap to consolidated authoritarian power.The execution of Alex Pretti: What the videos show vs. what DHS claimsWitness affidavits: Shot in the back, after being disarmedKristi Noem and Stephen Miller's "domestic terrorist" liePam Bondi's extortion letter: Voter rolls for peaceWhy Minnesota?

For this episode, Robin examines the fundamental differences between liberalism and progressivism and why understanding this divide is critical for 2028.Key topics include: Why Republicans fall in line while Democrats fracture over purity tests, the data showing disruptive protest tactics reduce public support by 15%, and how protest votes intended to help Gaza enabled Trump's return and Gaza's devastation. With 31 Nobel laureates warning about fascism, Yale historians fleeing to Canada, and a Democracy Index rating the U.S. at 55/100 (authoritarian territory), ideological purity has become dangerous. With democracy itself at stake, coalition building must supersede purity politics.In this episode, Robin argues that while liberals and progressives share end goals, such as universal healthcare, climate action, workers' rights, racial justice...their strategic disagreements determine electoral outcomes. Compromise isn't betrayal; it's how democracy functions.Keywords: liberal vs progressive, democratic party divide, why democrats lose elections, electoral strategy 2028, progressive purity politics, coalition building, capitalism vs socialism, free speech vs cancel culture, identity politics, incrementalism vs revolution, protest tactics effectiveness, political compromise, Gaza protest votes, Republican electoral strategy, swing state politics, moderate vs progressive, political pragmatism, deplatforming debate, working class voters, political podcast, 2028 election analysis, authoritarianism warning, voting strategy, ideological purity critiqueSources: Pew Research (2021), Ruy Teixeira/The Liberal Patriot, Matthew Yglesias/The Atlantic, Ezra Klein/NYT, Democracy Index 2025, 31 Nobel Laureates fascism letterBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
This week: NATO threats, depression-era meals, and a timeline of authoritarianism that reads like dystopian fiction...except it's all real.Robin breaks down Trump's Greenland obsession and the threat of military action against our own NATO allies. Eight European countries are getting tariffs because they won't help us invade Denmark. When Emmanuel Macron is comparing you to Putin, maybe it's time to reassess.Meanwhile, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins (net worth: $15 million) wants you to know you can feed yourself for $3...just eat one piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, one tortilla, and "one other thing." Groceries are up $310 per year for American families, but have you tried eating less? Marie Antoinette energy.In Minneapolis, over 2,500 people have been arrested in the largest ICE operation in American history. Schools are closed. The National Guard is mobilized. Masked federal agents operate without ID. And on January 7th, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed 37-year-old Renée Nicole Good...a mother of three, poet, and school board member. She was called a "domestic terrorist" within hours. ICE blocked a physician from helping her as she died. Now the DOJ is investigating her widow, not the shooter. Six federal prosecutors have resigned in protest.Also covered: Trump "joking" about canceling elections, the Department of Labor posting Nazi-adjacent slogans, the Insurrection Act being threatened against American protesters, a death in ICE custody ruled likely homicide, and why 31 Nobel laureates just warned that "the signs of fascism are here."Plus: why three Yale historians who study fascism for a living just moved to Canada, and what it means when a new Democracy Index says we've "slid well into authoritarianism."Keywords/TagsTrump Greenland invasion, NATO tariffs 2026, Brooke Rollins $3 meal, grocery prices inflation, Minneapolis ICE raids, Renée Nicole Good shooting, ICE killings, Tim Walz DOJ investigation, authoritarianism America, fascism warning, immigration enforcement 2026, federal prosecutor resignations, Insurrection Act, political podcast, progressive politics, Trump administration, civil rights violations, police accountability, democracy crisis, political analysisTimestamps00:00 - Intro: The Golden Age05:30 - Segment 1: Greenland Imperialism & NATO Threats18:45 - Segment 2: Let Them Eat One Piece of Broccoli28:20 - Segment 3: Minneapolis Under Siege42:10 - Segment 4: Renée Nicole Good (Content Warning)58:35 - Segment 5: Top 10 Signs of Fascism This Week1:14:20 - Closing ThoughtsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
We're eleven days into 2026, and America is speedrunning authoritarianism.On January 8th, ICE agent Jonathan Ross executed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. She was unarmed and trying to drive away when he shot her three times at point blank range, called her a "fucking bitch" as she died, then walked away while his colleagues prevented a doctor from rendering aid. Within minutes, before anyone knew her name, the President and DHS Secretary labeled her a "domestic terrorist" and declared the shooting justified. No investigation. No accountability. Just character assassination and claims of "absolute immunity."This isn't isolated. Over 2,000 masked federal agents with no badges or identification have descended on Minneapolis, racially profiling and detaining U.S. citizens. The same day Renee was killed, ICE arrested two teenage American citizens for working at Target while Latino. This is fascism in practice.But the chaos doesn't stop at our borders. Trump is threatening to annex Greenland by force, potentially ending the NATO alliance. The administration is simultaneously threatening Venezuela, cutting deals with Cuba, and rattling sabers at Iran as nationwide protests threaten the regime.Are we heading into World War III? Maybe. The tinderbox is built.In this episode, we break down the execution of Renee Nicole Good, expert analysis from a veteran defense attorney who says this shooting was unjustified, Trump's imperial ambitions in Greenland, Iran's revolution, Cuba's crisis, Venezuela's chaos, the criminal investigation into Jerome Powell, and the U Haul attack on Iranian protesters in Los Angeles.This isn't hyperbole. This is happening right now, eleven days into the second Trump administration.Renee Nicole Good's life mattered. Her death wasn't a tragedy. It was a murder.SUPPORT THE SHOW: We Saw the Devil is an independent political commentary podcast committed to speaking truth to power. Rate, review, and share this episode.

"They killed my wife. They shot her in the head. We have a 6-year-old at school."That's what Renee Nicole Good's wife said, sitting in the snow, covered in blood, moments after an ICE agent murdered her in Minneapolis.Renee was 37. Unarmed. Trying to drive away. Shot in the face through her windshield.Trump called it self-defense. The Minneapolis ICE shooting video shows an execution.This episode covers everything: the video evidence, Operation Metro Surge, the government's lies, Mayor Frey's response, Governor Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and why the "just comply" narrative is dangerous bullshit.***This episode is unedited and raw. #MinneapolisICEShooting #ReneeNicoleGood #ICE #Minneapolis #TrumpICE #AbolishICE #OperationMetroSurge #JusticeForReneeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
****Apologies, y'all. This episode is several days late. Better late than never! ANOTHER episode dropping tomorrow on the murder of Renee Nicole Good.The Donroe Doctrine: America Invades Venezuela While you were nursing a New Year’s hangover, the U.S. launched its biggest military operation in Latin America since Panama. Nicolás Maduro has been snatched, Trump has promised America will “run the country” of Venezuela, and a new foreign policy flex has arrived: the Donroe Doctrine. In this episode of We Saw the Devil, Robin breaks down how we got here, what actually happened during Operation Absolute Resolve, and why this isn’t just “serving a warrant” on a dictator. It’s a constitutional crisis, an international-law nightmare, and a blueprint future presidents can point to when they want to do the same thing somewhere else. We cover:The hour-by-hour raid that captured MaduroThe three clashing justifications: law enforcement, “Donroe Doctrine,” and oilHow Congress was lied to and cut out of the decisionGlobal condemnation from Latin America, Europe, and beyondCracks forming inside MAGA over yet another foreign warTags:Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, Donald Trump, Donroe Doctrine, Monroe Doctrine, Operation Absolute Resolve, CIA, Delta Force, U.S. invasion, war powers, Congress, Tim Kaine, Marco Rubio, U.S. foreign policy, Latin America, oil, resource colonialism, international law, regime change, We Saw the Devil, politics, authoritarianismBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
The Epstein files are dropping, and they're exactly as damning as you feared. Flight logs with presidents. Emails from princes asking for "inappropriate friends." Ten co-conspirators...nine still walking free. Guards who slept through their shifts. Cameras that conveniently broke. And a Justice Department that can't keep its story straight for 48 hours. This episode breaks down Epstein news from the last week, why the White House went from celebrating to damage control in three days, and what all of this tells us about who really runs this country. Spoiler: it's not immigrants. It's not welfare recipients. It's not the trans kid at Target. It's the people on those flight logs, and they're still having brunch while you argue about pronouns.

The DOJ had one job: release ALL the Epstein files by December 19th. Instead, we got "several hundred thousand" documents with a promise of more "in a couple weeks." Merry Christmas from the most transparent administration in history.In this episode, we break down everything wrong with the Epstein Files release...the broken search function, the 119 completely blacked-out pages, and why Bill Clinton's face is plastered everywhere while Trump is mysteriously absent. Plus: the tragic end to the Brown University shooting manhunt and what we know about the gunman's 25-year grudge.Follow the show:→ Instagram: @wesawthedevilpodcast→ Twitter/Facebook: @wesawthedevil→ Patreon: patreon.com/wesawthedevil→ Website: wesawthedevil.comKeywords/tags:Epstein files, Epstein documents released, Jeffrey Epstein, DOJ cover-up, Trump Epstein, Clinton Epstein photos, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein island, government transparency, redacted documents, political podcast, Brown University shooting, MIT professor, mass shooting news, true crime, political commentary, liberal podcast, news podcast, current events December 2025Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.

Holy crap, what a week. New Epstein photos just dropped featuring Trump, Clinton, Bannon, and yes, Jimmy Buffett. Trump's having another productive week bullying female reporters. Marco Rubio has declared war on accessible fonts because "tradition." MTG is trying to burn down the House on her way out the door. The FBI says Antifa is America's greatest threat but can't explain what Antifa actually is. Gavin Newsom is trolling his way to 2028. Linda McMahon made a cringe Grinch parody about student loan fraud. And a 27-year-old white nationalist virgin got into a Twitter beef with Piers Morgan about his sex life. America, 2025. What a time to be alive.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
Three families that looked perfect from the outside. Three monsters hiding in plain sight.The Rebecca Park Case A 22 year old pregnant woman reconnects with her biological mother after 18 years of separation against her adoptive mother's warnings.

This week on Red, White & Bruised, host Robin breaks down another week of chaos from the Trump administration, from potential war crimes to beefing with pop stars to gutting protections for trans prisoners.THE BIG STORY: Pete Hegseth's Boat Strike Scandal The Secretary of Defense is facing war crime allegations after reports surfaced that a second missile was fired at survivors of an initial strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean. 87 people dead across 22 strikes. No evidence released. And Hegseth says he "fully supports" killing shipwrecked survivors. We dig into the Washington Post reporting, the congressional briefings, and why 75% of Americans want to see the receipts.ALSO THIS WEEK:Sabrina Carpenter vs. The White House: The administration used her song for ICE deportation propaganda. She called it "evil and disgusting." The White House called her "stupid." Also, they pissed off Franklin the Turtle. Yes, the children's character. We discuss.Trump's National Security Strategy: Great Replacement Theory is now official U.S. foreign policy. Europe is the enemy. Russia is a partner. This is fine.January 6 Pipe Bomb Arrest: They finally caught the guy. Plot twist: he's a Trump supporter who believed the Big Lie.National Parks Go MAGA: Free admission on MLK Day and Juneteenth? Gone. Free admission on Trump's birthday? You bet."Affordability" Is a Scam Now: Trump ran on lowering prices. Now he says the word "affordability" is a Democratic con job. The cognitive dissonance is breathtaking.Tennessee Special Election Results: A 13-point swing toward Democrats in a deep red district. What it means for 2026.Trump vs. Kaitlan Collins: Another day, another female journalist called "stupid and nasty."MTG's Revenge Tour: Marjorie Taylor Greene confirms Trump was "furious" about her support for releasing the Epstein files. "He said it was going to hurt people."DOJ Guts Trans Prison Protections: The administration quietly ordered inspectors to stop checking whether prisons protect trans inmates from rape. The cruelty is the point.Keywords/Tags: Trump administration, Pete Hegseth, war crimes, boat strikes, drug war, Caribbean, Sabrina Carpenter, ICE, deportation, Franklin the Turtle, National Security Strategy, Great Replacement Theory, January 6, pipe bombs, Brian Cole Jr., national parks, MLK Day, Juneteenth, Trump birthday, affordability, cost of living, inflation, Tennessee special election, Aftyn Behn, Kaitlan Collins, CNN, Marjorie Taylor Greene, MTG, Epstein files, DOJ, trans rights, LGBTQ, prison rape, PREA, political podcast, news podcast, left-leaning podcast, progressive politics, 2025 news, Trump 2025Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
This week on Red, White & Bruised: Tennessee's 7th District special election is somehow competitive in a Trump +22 district, and it's all thanks to Aftyn Behn, a progressive state rep who won't apologize for hating bachelorette parties or fighting corporate tax dodgers. We break down why her campaign is the blueprint Democrats need and why Republicans are in full panic mode.Then: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly ordered the military to "kill everybody" on a suspected drug boat, leading to a second strike on survivors—which is, you know, a war crime. Robin dissects the messy timeline, the conflicting White House stories, and why this scandal is just getting started.Plus: Luigi Mangione is back in court fighting to suppress evidence in the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder case, and his legal battle is revealing uncomfortable truths about America's broken healthcare system and why so many people can't condemn a murder without adding "but I understand why." And finally: Trump's revenge prosecution of James Comey spectacularly collapses after a federal judge rules the prosecutor's appointment was unconstitutional. Schadenfreude at its finest. Grab your coffee (or wine) and let's go.----------------Keywords: Aftyn Behn, Tennessee special election, 7th Congressional District, Pete Hegseth, war crimes, double-tap strikes, Caribbean strikes, Luigi Mangione, UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, James Comey, Trump administration, political revenge, DOJ indictment, progressive politics, left-leaning podcast, economic populism, healthcare reform, Medicare for All, corporate taxes, Nashville politics, constitutional law, Pam Bondi, political persecution, military law, Geneva Conventions, illegal orders, drug interdiction, weaponized DOJ, Matt Van Epps, Lindsey Halligan, Mark Kelly, Letitia James, Kash Patel, insurance industry, CEO murder, activist candidate, constitutional crisis, political commentary, snarky politics, political analysis, 2025 politics, Red White and Bruised, progressive podcast, Trump revenge, Democratic strategy, special election, Tennessee politicsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.
In 2012, NYPD officer Gilberto Valle's wife made a horrifying discovery: thousands of online chats where her husband discussed kidnapping, torturing, cooking, and eating women...including her.Valle was a member of Dark Fetish Net, a website for extreme sexual fantasies, where he shared detailed plans about cannibalizing real people he knew. The FBI arrested Valle and charged him with conspiracy to commit kidnapping. The evidence was disturbing: graphic conversations about cooking women alive, over 100 unauthorized police database searches on potential victims, Google searches for "how to make chloroform," and real-world meetings with his targets. But here's the twist: Valle never kidnapped anyone. Never attempted to. Never took any concrete steps beyond online conversations and Google searches. Valle claimed it was all fantasy role-play. Prosecutors argued it was a genuine conspiracy. After a twelve-day trial featuring gruesome evidence and disturbing testimony, the jury convicted him. Valle faced life in federal prison...This case exploded into a national debate about thoughtcrime, free speech, and the limits of conspiracy law. Can you be imprisoned for disturbing fantasies? Where's the line between fantasy and criminal intent? Should online role-play be prosecutable as conspiracy?Join Robin as she breaks it down. ---------------------------------------------------------------Keywords: Gilberto Valle, Cannibal Cop, NYPD, conspiracy to kidnap, Dark Fetish Net, true crime podcast, criminal conspiracy, First Amendment, free speech, constitutional law, federal crime, wrongful conviction, jury verdict, acquittal, Judge Paul Gardephe, thoughtcrime, police corruption, database abuse, New York crime, federal prison, legal podcast, court case analysis, civil liberties, true crime 2024, criminal justice, sexual fetish, cannibalism, vorarephilia, internet crime, cyber crime, FBI investigation, federal trial, appeals court, Second Circuit, true threats, protected speech, actus reus, overt act, criminal intent, fantasy defenseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-crime-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.





I've always enjoyed this podcast. but this episode has presented such excellent points of view. Nice to see a detailed explanation for a different perspective. It makes difficult to disagree.
You shouldn’t blame religion for what she did. Like you shouldn’t blame cars, knives, alcohol, bats or guns for the actions of the people controlling them. Church or a bar. They can either be used for good or for evil. Millions of church-goers (of ALL faiths) don’t kill their kids.
Wasn’t his name pronounced MEN Gu Luh?
sorry you are way off on this and frankly I don't care for your liberal narrative. I say this as a legal immigrant from Africa who has grown up here and became a citizen over 15 years ago. Unsubscribing now
welcome back. I hope you have a better year than last year. I've been missing your voice in my life.
I am traumatized and nauseated by this offal. 🤢I can't believe you got through it!
Just so YOU know….I will NOT be subscribing or listening to ANY of THIS SHOW. Since YOU have NO RESPECT for animals, then it’s safe to say that YOU have NO RESPECT for humans.
this is a brilliant podcast, with a lot of information on each case they look at
never get tired of this theme music
Hey…….your not in LOVE with Lori vallow……are you ? You should have named this show, “The Mysterious Life and Times of the Mentally Challenged , Lady of the Century, lori vallow “.
Absolutely loved the shows on the dark web. It's so intriguing! I will definitely check out the book you mentioned. Well done! 😆
You can always tell who is lying about their military experience because they brag about being in combat and killing. The men that seen combat action are generally traumatized by their experience and it's not a topic they are comfortable talking about with non-military people.
You girls are amazing! Your research is second to none!!
