Emptywheel Fridays – the Thursday Massacre & More Edition – on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-14-25

  I try to follow what's happening closely, but there's only so much my mind and psyche can handle. I'm quite fortunate to have Marcy Wheeler as a friend who joins me every Friday to recap much of what happened in the week just ending. At least much of what we need to know. (We'd need much more than an hour to cover all the shit they throw at the wall in any given week!) Today we cover a lot of territory, but focus in on the "Thursday Afternoon Massacre" at the DoJ, as the Attorney General (sic) has ordered [...]

Lisa Graves on Justice or Not on the Nicole Sandler Show 11-21-24

  One of our favorite guests here on the Nicole Sandler Show is Lisa Graves. Not just because she's one of the better angels among us, but she's also wicked smart and has the CV to back up her beliefs. These days Lisa Graves works as a governmental watchdog of sorts in her role as Director of True North Research. But she usually appears on my show in her personal capacity as a private citizen with great expertise on all matters pertaining to our Justice system and Dept of Justice, the Senate nominations and confirmation proceedings, and how things [...]

8-2-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Catching Up with Marcy Wheeler

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) It's a Monday, and I'm having one of those days... Thankfully Marcy Wheeler is back from her vacation and ready to catch us up on all that's been happening with the J6 committee and the DOJ, and perhaps she'll even have an "I told you so" for us regarding Merrick Garland's intents. And a follow-up on Friday's show with my old friend John Ondrasik. Now I'll tell you what I didn't tell you on Friday and hope you're not too mad at me. [...]

2-21-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Presidents’ Day with Marcy Wheeler & Me

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   The studio gremlins got me again today, but we won! Marcy Wheeler lives in Ireland these days, so my showtime of 5pm ET is a bit late for her to come on during the live show. So we taped the interview early this morning. Thankfully the gremlins hadn't yet attacked. In fact, they stayed away until 4:45, when the audio went berserk. I restarted the computer as many times as I could while deleting audio drivers and hoping they'd update and [...]

10-29-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Ending the Week with Elie Mystal

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   The only thing that makes a Friday better is ending the week with Elie Mystal as my guest. Elie is Justice Correspondent for The Nation, but he approaches the law, the Supreme Court and the ridiculous situation in which we find ourselves with a sense of humor to match his insights. No one can deny that this was a shit show of a week.... but at least Elie Mystal will help us stick a fork in it today. https://youtu.be/G_bWhXGYtRg

8-9-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Dept of Injustice with Marcy Wheeler

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)     The US Department of Justice has been walking a tightrope for years now. While promising Equal Justice Under the Law, it more realistically offers a system of Injustice and Inequality. Throughout the Trump term, the DOJ struggled to maintain any semblance of integrity. And in the final days of his presidency, the former guy attempted a coup, using the Attorney General to do his dirty work. Details of just how close we came to losing our democracy are now coming to [...]

6-16-21 Nicole Sandler Show – The Dept of Injustice with Lisa Graves

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)     Biden met with Putin this morning, and Congress is still getting nothing done. I'll fill you in on all of that on today's show. But our main subject is Trump's Department of INjustice, which seems to come into clearer focus with each passing day. We'll talk about all we are learning with Lisa Graves, a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Clinton administration, so she knows the landscape there. Today, Lisa is Executive Director and Editor in Chief at True [...]

Download here or click below to play     It's Tuesday, so GottaLaff joins me to talk about what's happening in our crazy world. Today, we're watching the House Judiciary Hearing featuring Attorney General William Barr's lies, so we have lots to talk about today.... We took a brief time out from the Barr hearing and Laffy's Tweet Spot to bring in her doppleganger. Since Laffy started joining me on camera a few weeks ago, more than a few listeners have commented that she and Jody Hamilton could be sisters... and indeed they could! So Jody joined us today for [...]

7-10-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Wrapping Up the Winning Week

Download here or click below to play       It's been one hell of a week. Nothing shocking there, as it's been a crazy, fucked-up year so far, so why should this week be any different? Florida, where I live, is one of the ugliest COVID-19 hotspots on the planet right now. It's time to change our elected officials to take the DUH out of FloriDUH. Today, I'll speak with Jen Perelman, who's primarying one of our worst, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to represent Florida's 23rd district in Congress. Then we'll speak with and salute the man dubbed the "FOIA [...]
