Summary

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Jill Wine-Banks, former Watergate prosecutor, legal analyst, podcast host, and author of The Watergate Girl. We unpack the ongoing Epstein cover-up, the survivors demanding transparency, and Ghislaine Maxwell’s cushy prison transfer. Jill and I also tackle Trump’s unlawful federalization of police and the danger it poses to her hometown of Chicago, along with the rise of authoritarian alliances and America’s economic decline under illegal tariffs. From gun violence to Congress’s failure to act, Jill offers a sobering reminder of how fragile justice has become, and what it will take to fight back.

0:34.8

Look, Congress is back in town.

0:36.7

And let me tell you, Washington looks less like the seat

0:39.8

of democracy and more like a carnival show that never packs up.

0:44.6

After a long summer recess of golf, junkets, and fundraising dinners, our so-called representatives
