Trump DOJ Opens Probe Into Democrat Swalwell For Mortgage Fraud w/ Scott Horton
Featuring: Scott Horton
Episode Recap
Tim Pool and the Timcast IRL crew discussed several major stories on this episode, beginning with the Trump DOJ opening a formal probe into California Democrat Eric Swalwell for alleged mortgage fraud. Tim noted that while many such cases typically go unpursued, the DOJ appears to be applying equal legal standards after going after Trump for various matters. The panel also addressed the controversial release of Epstein emails by Democrats that were initially redacted to implicate Trump, but upon unredaction revealed the victim was Virginia Giuffre who had already stated Trump did nothing wrong. The discussion noted that the released emails actually showed journalist Michael Wolff colluding with Epstein for favorable coverage. The crew covered the recent G4-level geomagnetic storm caused by a coronal mass ejection, referencing a conversation with space weather expert Ben Davidson about the weakening Earth's magnetic field. Libertarian commentator Scott Horton joined the discussion to provide analysis on foreign policy matters, promoting his new Scott Horton Academy of Foreign Policy and Freedom.
