Summary

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by former FBI counterintelligence special agent, legal analyst, and Yale University lecturer Asha Rangappa for an honest conversation on the Epstein files, corruption inside Trump’s DOJ, and the systematic dismantling of American democracy. We break down the shocking meetings between Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell, what immunity deals really mean, and why Trump’s team is working to control the Epstein narrative as it spirals. We expose how this case ties into broader efforts to weaponize the justice system, rig elections through gerrymandering, and silence institutions that should hold power accountable.

0:22.7	AI that actually works, switching to a new work platform has never felt this good. So move on to
0:29.0	Monday.com. This is my Mayo Copeland. Oh, baby, don't lie for me. If I tell you my story, don't cry for me.
0:39.2	I tell me time that's fun by me.
0:41.5	This is my favorite.

1:08.3	right now, it's not just politics. It's something darker, more
1:12.9	orchestrated, and far more dangerous. We're witnessing the normalization of political weaponization,
1:21.0	the distortion of justice for personal gain, and the slow corrosion of democratic institutions,
1:31.1	one backroom deal, one rigged map, and one celebrity smear campaign at a time. Look, when I worked for Donald Trump, I saw firsthand how
1:38.3	the levers of power could be twisted for personal retribution. But even I couldn't imagine that we'd reach a point, a point
