Devolution Power Hour Ep. 453: SCOTUS Gerry Fix, Comey Indicted, and DOJ Deep State

Jon Herold and Burning Bright open with a live breakdown of the SCOTUS Louisiana redistricting ruling alongside guest Ash, who walks through Justice Alito's 42-page opinion striking down race-based congressional district drawing under section two of the Voting Rights Act, a question courts have been kicking down the road for forty years. From there, the guys turn to newly declassified Grassley documents on the FBI's suppressed Clinton Foundation investigation, including the damning timeline showing it was shut down the same week Crossfire Hurricane was opened. Then comes the Comey indictment for the 8647 Instagram post, and the guys make a principled case for why it is legally weak, potentially counterproductive to future accountability, and why grand juries are not convictions. Burning Bright closes with a tight breakdown of the Strait of Hormuz situation as a financial squeeze not on the US but on Europe, connecting Bessent's Iran shadow banking sanctions, the Trump vs. German Chancellor Mertz feud, and Putin cutting off Russia's Druzhba energy pipeline to Germany in the same week. The show ends on a substantive discussion of why justice must be binary, not incremental.
