Hey Everyone,
Here is last night’s conversation with Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News where we bring you up to date with the country’s major courtroom dramas.
We discuss the importance of the latest witnesses in the Sean Combs trial. They include former employees of the music mogul who have corroborated much of the testimony of the chief witness for the prosecution, Cassie Ventura, Comb’s on/off girlfriend for twenty years. This is important because unlike Ventura, who sued Combs civilly, the defense team cannot suggest their testimony is financially motivated. Adam points out that through the web of terrified assistants, including the head of HR, prosecutors are essentially painting a picture of a vast enterprise that is an analogous to organized crime in Goodfellas or The Sopranos.
Adam compares the testimony of “Mia”, Combs’ long-time assistant with that of E Jean Carroll in that the defense in both cases ripped into the social media feeds of each woman accuser, because they had each said flattering things about the defendent. As we know, with EJean Carroll, who was awarded a multi-million dollar pay out, that didn’t work. We get into Trump’s friendship with Combs and the president’s recent statement that he’s keeping an open mind about a pardon.
Around the 11 minute mark, we move on to chat about Harvey Weinstein’s retrial in New York. The jury is still deliberating as I write. We discuss the change in the culture around Me Too since Weinstein, who is the poster boy for the Me Too movement was first indicted.
I discuss the three hour meeting I had with Weinstein in a tiny office with the windows, blacked out with newspapers, on 42nd street in New York, shortly before his trial in 2019. It was like being in a time capsule with black and white photographs of Weinstein in his glory days with movie stars and presidents lined up on the walls like postage stamps. What he was most upset about in that meeting, was not in fact anything or anyone who was part of the criminal cases against him.
What he was most upset about was Gwyneth Paltrow who complained publicly he’d made a pass at her. He viewed this as a complete betrayal, give he had in his mind just done her a massive, expensive favor. Listen at around the 11.50 mark.
Around the 20 minute mark we move on to discuss what Adam calls “The Trump Docket” including the news that a judge in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia (the man who was sent to El Salvador without due process) has ordered the discovery to be unsealed to certain news organizations (an extraordinary step) and granted immigration attorneys permission to seek sanctions against the government.
What does that actually mean?
Watch to find out!

Excellent perspectives from Adam, as always. The only interest I have in hearing about Harvey W is the existence of the ecosystem of enablers that helped shield him from accountability, like Diddy and Epstein.
