An Alabama attorney believes Carlee Russell should be in jail after information revealed on Wednesday disputed last week’s supposed kidnapping of the Alabama woman. Eric Guster, a former criminal defense attorney turned personal injury lawyer, was captivated by the national news of Russell disappearing that occurred near his home, but has since changed his opinion in the matter when police released more information over the last three days. “She said she was kidnapped, and a kidnapping didn’t happen. Our citizens are safe, there’s not a kidnapper out there,” Guster told WVTM 13. “So they use every other synonym for lie...

Hunter Biden was spotted Thursday walking with his Secret Service agent in Malibu, as his lawyer sent a cease-and-desist letter to former President Donald Trump's attorneys insisting he stop saying the cocaine found at the White House belonged to the first son. Hunter's attorney Abbe Lowell asked the ex-president's legal team to push Trump to stop disparaging the Bidens, for fear that there could be an escalation of violence akin to January 6 or the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi. In recent Truth Social posts, Trump has made wild claims about the Biden family's drug use - suggesting on Thursday...

A Nashville lawyer found a novel way to beat student loans: a lawsuit. In subsequent tweets, Manookian shared the basic steps others could follow to get their student debt wiped through the legal system. “This isn’t about loan forgiveness,” Manookian told The Post. “It’s about holding these companies to the very same contract that they insist debtors comply with.” Manookian, who attended Vanderbilt University Law School, told The Post he took out two loans from JP Morgan and Bank One for $60,000 to pay for his education, chipping away at his students loan debt for “upwards of a decade.” A...

We have been keeping one eye on the rise of AI chatbots and we think maybe they’re this year’s Nintendo Power Glove. If you don’t remember this device, here’s an old ad for it: Nintendo Power Glove ad (1989):pic.twitter.com/HdlC9GqPug — Jon Erlichman (@JonErlichman) August 12, 2020 What the ad was selling to you was ‘the dream’ of what motion control can be. What that ad showed the Power Glove doing is something pretty close to what you could actually do on the Wii or the PlayStation Move, not to mention all the virtual reality control schemes we see today. The...

Lawyer Timothy Parlatore said on Sunday that former President Trump, whom Parlatore represents, used an empty folder that said “Classified Evening Summary” to block a light in his bedroom at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. “He has one of those landline telephones next to his bed, and it has a blue light on it, and it keeps him up at night. So he took the manilla folder and put it over so it would keep the light down so he could sleep at night,” Parlatore told CNN. “It’s just this folder. It says ‘Classified Evening Summary’ on it. It’s not...

A program trained with the help of artificial intelligence is set to help a defendant contest his case in a U.S. court next month, New Scientist reported. Instead of addressing the court, the program, which will run on a smartphone, will supply appropriate responses through an earpiece to the defendant, who can then use them in the courtroom. In the past few years, AI has burst onto the scene like never before, writing poetry, computer code, and even college essays at the drop of a hat. With every new iteration of the programs being released, the capabilities of the bots...

By now millions of Americans well-informed about the pandemic know that the cheap, safe and effective generic medicine ivermectin (IVM) was blocked for wide-scale use from the very beginning by the federal government. It was a critical but medically wrong tactic within the wait-for-the-vaccine strategy. Preventing early use of IVM has surely killed and harmed hundreds of thousands of Americans. A few courageous doctors have successfully been using IVM during the pandemic, but most feared punishment as they lost their medical freedom. Now comes a mind-boggling statement from an attorney defending the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a lawsuit...

We reported within the last week on the sudden death of attorney John Meringolo. Meringolo was successful in defending individuals in multiple cases against the state. It turns out that...

The Pennsylvania Senate voted 29-19 on Wednesday to call Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Democrat, to Senate chambers for a trial to answer for seven articles of impeachment against him. The articles could result in his removal from office. But the timing of this move is awkward because it was done in a special session on Nov. 30, the last day of the 2021-2022 session. The new session starts at midnight, but no action will be taken because newly elected lawmakers take their oaths of office and are seated in January. “The majority party is attempting to set an...

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s speech about the Oath Keepers’ conviction for seditious conspiracy in connection with the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot was a direct message to former President Donald Trump and those who worked with him that the Department of Justice can prove sedition. Guest anchor Kasie Hunt said, “Let me ask you about what we saw in the trial. Do you think the events of the last 24 hours have changed the calculation for the Justice Department in terms of whether or not to prosecute...
