Transcript and audio at Podscribe, here.
I was out on my sunrise walk, listening with earbuds, and when I heard "get a search warrant," I had to restrain myself from voicing my sarcasm: Who could have thought that a former U.S. President would have search warrant executed against him? Is there a plan to invade his home in the early morning hours? To root through the underpants and bras of the former First Lady? Inconceivable — wasn't it? — before this tyrant fought his way back into the White House.

I like Ironic Althouse. It's so cutting. That last line...
Epic.
(edited because, Duh!)
Chickens, roost. You know the rest.
It means they have the ABILITY to do those things.
Not the STONES to do them.
Barack Obama is completely safe because he is ABOVE the law. A dead body washed up on his lawn and they didn't even question Barack Obama.
"It means that the Justice Department is prepared to go out and use its criminal powers, the power of subpoena, the power to compel witnesses to testify, the ability to go to a judge and try and get a search warrant.... the federal government's most powerful tools...."
All things they did to Trump, as you say. Terrible consequences will flow from that. The genie is never going back in the bottle.
Thanks, Merrick. Thanks, Joe.
They tried to murder Trump twice.
Barack Obama is the ONLY American President ever to order the murder of an American citizen, without charge, without a trial, without even a warrant for their arrest. With literally NO due process whatsoever.
He ordered a murder.
And nobody bats a fucking eye at this guy. He is COMPLETELY safe from any law.

'Intoned', huh? Was it in a low, thrilling mid-Atlantic voice, like the BBC, with air raid sirens going, during a blitz? It wouldn't surprise me. And rooting through the underpants of another First Lady might bear interesting fruit, if the conspiracists are to be believed.
If anyone had any doubts as to whether or not Trump's name is in the Epstein files, they should all be dispelled by now.
No one works this hard to distract if they don't have anything to hide.
As usual, Trump offers no credible evidence to support his claims. No court would take his vendetta-driven legal pursuits seriously.
Someone should leak the Epstein files, which appear to be the source of Trump’s incoherent outbursts and increasingly erratic behavior.
The Epstein files are driving Trump to the brink.The American people deserve access to these files to better understand the root of this unraveling presidency.
Which of Obama’s 5 houses is the DOJ looking to raid?
The idea that the Russiagate investigation is just (or mostly) a distraction from Epstein is VERY well represented in the podcast.
So is the irony of executive immunity for Obama.
D'oh!
Trump must be over the target if Kak is resorting to QAnon attacks.
By "sprawling" do they mean Obama and his minions may be indicted in FLA and won't be protected by a DC judge or grand jury? That search warrant may bite Obama in the ass.
By the way, there isn't a MAGA out there who doesn't want the arrest and prosecution of every person who raped kids on Epstein's Island (the Epstein List), in addition to the arrests and imprisonment of Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Brennan, Streuk, et. al for their attempted coup of Donald Trump following his first Presidency.
It can't be a distraction if we're not distracted.
“Trump must be over the target if Kak is resorting to QAnon attacks.”
You must be referring to Trump’s number one hit over the last 9 years, "Trump and His Loyal Supporters are Always the Victims."
If they had Trump for the Epstein stuff they wouldn't have needed the Russiagate conspiracy.
Leftists are born without the Irony gene. It's a complete mystery to them.

We are far from Obama being prosecuted. It's sprawling, because so many were involved in it. For instance, the latest news is allegedly Nicole Wallace's husband is one of the people receiving classified intelligence in order to leak it. The dots are being connected, and there are a lot of dots.
Lock them all up!
And Kak, hold on, baby! Hold on to that desperate, last, fervent hope that FINALLY, those Epstein files will get him. It's so, so close, Kak. Keep holding on.
So is the irony of executive immunity for Obama.
I don't think there is any irony in this at all. Immunity does not extend to unofficial acts. If the "conspiracy" touches Obama, he can be indicted.
If so, I look forward to hearing how presidents are "allowed" to wiretap opponents and sabotage campaigns. It will be ironic when those tools are then wielded by Obama's arch enemy, the president he willed into existence by his own hubris, by the script that stupid "It's Only Drowning" author wrote for O to deliver at the WHCD.
Now THAT would be ironic.
“Lock them all up!”
GTMO won’t be big enough!
I know the claim that FJB was actually Obama's third term but the Mar-a-Lago search warrant seems to me to have been mostly the work Slo Joe and his mini-me Garland. As Obama reportedly said, don't underestimate Joe's ability to screw things up.
No one knows what Kash Patel knows, right Inga?
Adam Schitt needs to be raided and perp walked.
Don't worry Russia Russia Lie-swallowing idiot inga - your corrupt party is above the law.
The walls are still closing in on Trump, right?
The best way to evaluate the credibility of a person is to listen to them over time, and see how well their predictions and general statements hold up. Just saying. I am sure that Inga will be blissfully unaware that this jibe was aimed at her.

I agree.
It's kind of weird how democrats tried to kill Trump after sabotaging his campaign and using extreme lawfare against him and debanking his entire family and now they are SURPRISED his using every tool at his disposal to exact justice for their crimes.
Are they really so stupid they thought he would shake it off and not return fire? It seems impossible but...
The accusation that Trump was involved with underage girls provided by Epstein is unfalsifiable because nothing will ever make the Trump deranged stop believing it. If the "Epstein files" were fully released, they'd just say the Trump stuff was purged first.
Same with Russiagate. Trump haters will always believe Trump was in cahoots with Putin and Putin's meddling helped Trump get elected. Nothing will change their minds.
I think we should have a straw poll on the Epstein question to settle it once and for all, for all the fools that keep dredging it up to imply that 'all Trump supporters want to find out who the perverts are, but only if Trump isn't on the list (and we all know he really is)' - as if it's some kind of 'own'.
Why should the Epstein files be released?
1. To get the 'list' and know who the creeps are, the sexual perverts that had sex with underage girls.
2. To find out exactly how much Epstein was worth, and how he came by his money - and what happened to his stash.
3. To find out what Epstein's operation really was all about, who he was working for, what he was working at, what were his objectives.
4. To find out why he escaped any real punishment before his final incarceration - why was he so protected? And how did he really die?
5. To understand, bring to a halt, and punish the abuse of power and authority by The Powers That Be, who seemingly have confiscated all of the evidence from the vast surveillance installations at Epstein's various palaces, to find out why they have been suppressing this information, to find out who they are protecting, and to remove those protections for reasons of justice, letting the chips fall where they may, no matter who - including the Powers That Be.
I suggest, since many of these might be attractive choices, that a Ranked Choice methodology should be utilized.
Crook Joe and his pedophile partners did this:
"Hundreds of volunteers from several federal law enforcement agencies are going through 65,000 calls to a federally funded Health and Human Services (HHS) hotline where people reported concerns about the treatment of unaccompanied alien children (UAC). The calls were all made during the Biden administration, when the minors were rushed away from the border to avoid TV images of children in cages. Most of the calls were from the minors themselves.
At that time, the Biden administration was allowing children to be placed with almost anyone with minimal vetting. According to HHS whistleblower Tara Lee Rodas, “I thought I was going to help place children in loving homes. Instead, I discovered that children are being trafficked through a sophisticated network that begins with being recruited in their home country, smuggled to the U.S. border, and ends when ORR [Office of Refugee Resettlement] delivers a child to a sponsor – some sponsors are criminals and traffickers and members of Transnational Criminal Organizations.""
Can we arrest Biden for aiding and abetting mass child abuse?

Tafari Campbell was O'Bama's personal chef (And personal butt budy),

If Trump was on Epstein's client list, he would not have called out Epstein's predilection for young girls publicly, which he did. This is before he was in the government, BTW. He would not have banned Epstein from Mar a Lago either, and it would have leaked just as surely as government thugs rummaged through the Trump's wife's drawers.
We have testimony of an FBI agent that Adam Schiff was authorizing leaks of classified information, carefully curated for optics, of course, and of course incomplete, to smear Trump. But somehow these files that Trump has it in his power to release could not have been released by these people.
This is why I believe that graduating students who write all of their papers by AI is probably the best way to graduate students gullible enough to accept the things that our ruling class thinks we aught to believe.
I am sorry, but I just can’t get worked up about this. These are the rules that Biden Justice made.
Obama need not worry though. He is virtually untouchable thanks to Trump versus the United States.

as my stoner friends used to say (and believe) back in the '80s;
The Complete Lack of Evidence is JUST PROOF of the conspiracy!
I still marvel that not a single lefty was interested in an Epstein "list" for 4 years of Biden.
btw- there is no list - there is only a phone list.
WILLIAM ROPER: For libel, he’s a spy!
MARGARET MORE: Father, that man’s bad.
MORE: There is no law against that.
ROPER: There is! God’s law!
MORE: Then God can arrest him.
ALICE: While you talk, he’s gone!
MORE: And go he should, if he were the Devil himself, until he broke the law!
ROPER: So! Now you’d give the Devil benefit of law!
MORE: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
ROPER: Yes! I’d cut down every law in England to do that!
MORE: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?
This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast — man’s laws, not God’s — and if you cut them down — and you’re just the man to do it — do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?
Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!
“It's kind of weird how democrats tried to kill Trump…”
Oh now we’re back to how Democrats tried to kill Trump.
DOJ breaks up human trafficking ring at several Nebraska hotels

HEH
Another funny bit of collateral damage from Joe Biden's Ukraine war is that Zelensky, who is so unpopular in Ukraine and illegitimate that his security detail is provided by a foreign government, France, run by a president who ignored French law when he couldn't get his budget through the assembly, and simply passed his budget by decree, that would be Macron, who actually is an authoritarian, an incredibly unpopular one too, anyway, I was going to talk about collateral damage.
You know who is providing mercenaries to Zelensky? The cartels. They are being trained in modern combat with US weapons and drone warfare where it is the most highly developed in the world.
Recall after the would-be Mar-a-Lago failed golf-course Trump assassin failed -the collective LIAR hive left (Inag) threw out photos of someone NOT the culprit. ...then dutifully and falsely claimed that the guy was a registered Republican.
NO. Not even close.
Same with the Butler paid patsy who was in a Balckrock AD.
The collective Liar-left knew that the troubled kid was a "registered republican". But ... No.
Nothing will change their minds.
I like it that they seize on stupid ideas like this and invest belief in them. I don't want to change their minds. I'd rather undermine their self-assurance by engaging them, asking simple questions to induce them to try and put it into words what their "beliefs" actually are.
They can't. They can't materialize or elaborate on what they think the MacGuffin called "Epstein Files" would be in physical form. They haven't thought that far through or their afraid to tell us their fantasy, because it's too personal.
Perhaps Inga thinks it will show definite, say video, proof sexually abused underage girls. She can't give voice to the fantasy. It's too ridiculous! Even she can puzzles out the sequence and realizes that if they — her side — had that proof, as Bob notes above, they wouldn't have needed Russiagate.
They can't say. They know there is no tangible object they could envision that wouldn't have been exposed, disposed of or mentioned already. Ask what they mean by "Epstein Files" and the silence is deafening.

One of the motels (The New Victorian Inn) is about one mile straight west from my office. It is also by the Interstate and a Nebraska State Patrol office.
Five foreigners were all arrested. These guys ran real slavery and sex slavery rings. Some of the slaves are illegal aliens who recently crossed the border.
Slavery in Nebraska in 2025 thanks to the Dems.
I know all the Nebraska federal judges. If convicted, these guys will serve long sentences.
We didn't have enough crime in Omaha so the Dems had to import criminals. I guess Americans wouldn't be slavemasters.
"Oh now we’re back to how Democrats tried to kill Trump."
We are back to pretending that assassination attempts didn't happen. That it was all faked? That various Democrats didn't come out and say "they wished the shooter didn't miss" or praise the UHC CEO murderer for being successful in his assassination attempt?
Strange how the collective left KNOW - even before the blood is dry "Registered republicans!" are to blame for every leftist plot.
Also funny and odd how registered republicans want to kill Trump. hint - no they do not.
it is obvious the corrupt left want to kill Trump.
Just look at Adam Schitt and all of the info coming out about him.
He was going to be Hillary's pick of the CIA.
Obama need not worry though. He is virtually untouchable thanks to Trump versus the United States.
Virtually untouchable - as long as he can make a convincing case that authorizing the surveillance, and the undermining by leaks of "intelligence" that he knew were false, of the incoming administration, were part of his official duties*. So that would be fun to watch.
*I'm sorry about all the extraneous commas in that sentence. I know they're grammatically unnecessary and in point of fact incorrect, but the sentence was just going to require too much circling back and such without them.
Oh now we’re back to how Democrats tried to kill Trump.
Twice. Democrats were in charge of security, scheduling, investigating. They failed at all three and we know less about the two assassins than about any presidential shooters in history. And the democrat media's incuriosity about those two speaks volumes.
I'd rather undermine their self-assurance by engaging them, asking simple questions to induce them to try and put it into words what their "beliefs" actually are.
Indeed.
Good point Leland. You're on a roll! The absolute certainty both shooters were democrats is because democrats cheered at the attempt and cried that they missed. Same team.
“Recall after the would-be Mar-a-Lago failed golf-course Trump assassin failed -the collective LIAR hive left (Inag) threw out photos of someone NOT the culprit.”
Um…no I did not. Why are you lying?
Obama may be protected for actions while he was president, but once he was out of office his actions should be fair game.
Who do you think Trump blames, Inga? You obviously read my comment about him because you quoted some, but left the key question unanswered, as usual.

Please tell us WHAT REALLY HAPPENED then Inga?
We will be waiting with bated breath.
Obama may be protected for actions while he was president, but once he was out of office his actions should be fair game.
Like one of the DOJ guys said this week: the conspiracy is ongoing because the parties involved and under investigation are still denying it, which is an official element of a conspiracy.
“Multiple news reports confirm that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the alleged shooter in the July 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump, was a registered Republican in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.”

“ ‘It’s kind of weird how democrats tried to kill Trump…’

Yes. And how do we know it was Democrats? Because the would-be killers were incompetent at EVEN THAT!
Hope they prosecute him. It will let the facts come out. And treach the D's a lesson. What comes around, goes around. Of course Obama has a great advantage - far-left district court judges who will try to kill any case against on Day 1.
"Are they really so stupid they thought he would shake it off and not return fire? It seems impossible but..."
I marveled at that at the time. The only thing I can figure is they thought he was never coming back. The lawfare was designed to ensure that.
But it isn't just Trump. The genie is out of the bottle forever more. And that's on them.
Anyway who plays Hypocrisy Bingo with the MSM and the Left will win every time. Their strategy is to ignore any principle except winning. So, "Consistency" "One standard for everyone" - well that's for losers. And Republicans.
I marveled at that at the time. The only thing I can figure is they thought he was never coming back. The lawfare was designed to ensure that.
Yup. These were long-term strategies with Monte Carlo tested contingencies what were supposed to all be backstopped by Hillary! appointed Supremes.They KNEW he wasn’t coming back, one way or another…
“Perhaps Inga thinks it will show definite, say video, proof sexually abused underage girls. She can't give voice to the fantasy. It's too ridiculous!”
In those videos, which there were reportedly many, it may just show WHO were Epstein’s clients, unless they had bags over their heads…
Caught red-handed your leftie lawyer will argue a new definition of ‘red’. Ballsy…
Probably the priority is to prosecute Brennan, Comey, Clapper and others. The likelihood of Obama being brought to trial is vanishingly small. The NYT knows that, but they want to portray the whole affair as Trump taking revenge, rather than as a matter of uncovering and punishing lawlessness.
Per Grok:
"According to multiple sources, in April 2025, Obama’s portrait, in the Grand Foyer of the White House and replaced by a painting of Trump raising his fist after surviving an assassination attempt. By August 2025, the portrait was moved again to the top of the Grand Staircase, an area out of public view. The portraits of former Presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush were also moved to this area."
Hopefully, Trump can hang Obama's Mug shot in public view.
MadTownGuy:
The NE AG is spending tremendous resources on THC cases even though medical pot was voted in by the people. But real crimes like slavery, sex slavery and pimping are left to the Feds.
There was no shortage of people warning that the lawfare, and most especially the raid on Mar-a-lago, were very, very, bad ideas. Now they want to pretend as if it never happened. Sucks to be them.
The Battle cry of the cuck conservative: "Yeah, what's our end game? We shouldn't try unless we're 100 certain to win. And why are we wasting time on this? We can only do one thing at once, and we need to worry about the defecit and smaller Government.
Its sad that Trump isn't smiling with good humor at all the abuse and assassination attempts and turning the other cheek. Because that's the way you win. "
"Probably the priority is to prosecute Brennan, Comey, Clapper and others. The likelihood of Obama being brought to trial is vanishingly small."
There's poetic justice in Obama skating while Brennan and Comey rot in prison. I could live with that.
“Hopefully, Trump can hang Obama's Mug shot in public view.”
Keep hope alive Trumpies!
Much easier to get all these guys on tax evasion.
For Barack, Schiffty, Brennan, Clapper, Comey et al--the good old gang--here's word of advice. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Inag is the cheerleader for leftist lies and corruption.
You go grrl.
"The Sprawling Government Effort to Prosecute Barack Obama."
Hahahaha... well hell Obama and Hillary did it to Trump.. what goes around, comes around. Tough F*cking Nuts.
Inga will have to ask the Biden DOJ for those videos then because all they left for Trump's team was "downloaded internet porn" according to Pam Bondi. Videos you say "may" show clients. But Trump, according to Ghislaine and the judge who just reviewed Grand Jury testimony, said there was no evidence Trump ever visited Epstein's properties or engaged in anything with the hundreds of girls who testified and were paid from $500M victims fund. I think just short 300 girls testified. None ever saw Trump.
So another dry hole. Try again, Inga.
Funny how Bernie bros and dudes who tell their friends they "hate Trump and all politicians" turn into magical Trump voters when convenient for leftists. Of all the fake voting documents the "registration" is the easiest for democrats to fake up. Every kid who went to school with Crooks said he hated Trump. His actions prove them right and you wrong.
If I were Trump - I would place any Cheney + Obama portraits in the dumpster - and light that dumpster on fire.
Oopsie! my bad. I accidently poured gasoline back there. I was just trying to mow the lawn.
Scandals often mask deeper issues. The notion that the MAGA movement has been selling its supporters a false promise—offering something it may not intend or even be able to deliver—feels very real. This pattern is evident across the entire operation of this administration and movement, and the Epstein case makes it particularly visible.
MAGA supporters often seem to exist within a reality distortion field, where Trump can abruptly turn against a person or policy, and followers are expected to hate what they loved just yesterday. The Epstein case is unique because it carries immense emotional weight. Unlike dry policy issues like industrial reform, which supporters might dismiss, the pursuit of justice for Epstein’s victims is something many have internalized as a core part of their identity as Trump supporters.
Yet, when Trump dismissively tells people to “get over it” in an angry tone or makes baseless claims, like suggesting Obama created the Epstein files, his statements crumble under scrutiny. This disrespect for his supporters’ intelligence is powerful and may lead them to question what else Trump has lied about or failed to deliver on. Once that doubt takes root, they may begin to recognize other sources of discontent with his leadership.
Hey Inag - KAMALA LOST. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Maybe we should look closer at Schiff's association with Ed Buck while we're at it.
It's so nice to finally have a president who is truly scandal free. Thank you Trump. Obama claimed the title but fucked it all up in the end. Long live the King.
“Inga will have to ask the Biden DOJ for those videos then because all they left for Trump's team was "downloaded internet porn" according to Pam Bondi.”
“In February 2025, during an interview with Fox News, Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested that a client list related to Jeffrey Epstein was on her desk for review.”
“ Engelmayer said that the government’s reasoning for unsealing the Maxwell grand jury materials — that it came after “abundant public interest” — “fails at the threshold.”
“Its entire premise — that the Maxwell grand jury materials would bring to light meaningful new information about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s crimes, or the Government’s investigation into them—is demonstrably false,” he wrote.”
NBC
No wonder Trump’s DOJ pushed so hard to have the grand jury transcripts released.
Criminal, possibly treasonous conspiracy with foreign agents.
Using the same method to rise to Senate, as to retain his national kingdom. The Obamacity.
And so it goes. All of the alleged scandalous conspiracies are producing enough smoke to rival a Canadian wildfire started by a climate activist. No actual fire has been unveiled and I predict none is forthcoming.
You folks are following the same type of juicy smelly bait that the fans of Rachel Maddow keep salivating over.
These scandals are like Oakland California: There is no there there.
We know that if anything was in the Epstein files that implicated Trump in anything having to do with rape it would have been released and Trump would have been charged.
They made up allegations Trump raped a serial liar in a public changing room in a department store.
Everyone knows that Trump is the least likely person in the world to have raped anyone considering the massive amount of effort his enemies have put towards finding him guilty.
No person in history has been investigated as much as Trump and they have found nothing but obvious lies.
Hold on, kak
Help is on the way
You keep acting wack as you can
Fucker is so full of shit
Leftmedia hypocrisy abides. Also, why bother prosecuting Obama? Just expose him.
“But is there any risk to the Trump administration doing everything that's done here, starting these criminal investigations and as you've said, potentially not getting very far, not being able to really prosecute anyone, probably not being able to get anyone in jail. Doesn't that end up potentially backfiring in kind of the same way that over promising on the Jeffrey Epstein story has backfired?

I think the Epstein story is different because in the Epstein story, Trump and his allies were now in his administration, promised that they would release information that was going to show Trump's base how powerful wealthy Democrats were pedophiles. And now in reaction to the administration not releasing that material, it's raised questions among the base about, Hey, are you trying to still cover something up in the Russia story? It's always been very clear to the base who the good guys and the bad guys are to them, right?

00:25:09
And it's been clear that Trump has tried as hard as he can to go after them. And at the end of the day, I'm not sure that Trump's supporters are gonna hold him accountable if promises of criminal prosecutions don't turn out the way that they want.”
Of course they won’t hold their cult leader accountable.

You are very ignorant if you believe this. I wouldn’t expect you to be this gullible.
The actions described in these documents taken by Barack Obama and the people he conspired with, specifically leaking classified information to the media, would put any average service member in jail for years.
Conspiring to lie to the FISA court and then turning in knowingly false documents to obtain a warrant is decades in jail for any little person.
Then a private citizen like Obama using that warrant to spy on the current president of the USA is sedition. It becomes treason when we know that Obama worked with a Russian spy to create the Steele dossier and we have Obama on a hot mic in public telling the Russian president he will have more flexibility after the election.
You are unwilling to face the obvious evidence in front of you.
Stop being a moral coward. You are better than that.
"Of course they won’t hold their cult leader accountable."
You've also claimed that Trump's base will abandon him over the "Epstein files".
Pick one.
I am also very looking forward to John Robert’s being forced to decide whether or not treason and sedition are covered by Executive Immunity.
I want him to have to save Obama.
I want the court on record defending the right of an ex-president to spy on the current president.
