00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.120
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of
2
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.359
the Elite. I am your host, Jim Chapman, and it
3
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.600
is either almost Christmas or right after Christmas, depending on
4
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:31.800
when I drop this episode. But every year I do
5
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:36.840
an annual AMA Ask Me Anything, and this year I
6
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.159
have a little help doing my AMA. It's not as
7
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.560
I guess, it's not as weird, and I get the
8
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:49.079
advantage of getting spontaneous questions that I don't see coming.
9
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.439
So we're going to welcome my co host on Crime
10
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.960
a Weekly Today, introduce yourself. Co host.
11
00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:01.679
I am Kelly Jennings, the Kelly jensj the flesh uh,
12
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:03.280
and she's gonna help me today.
13
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.000
We're gonna go over. I got some pretty good responses.
14
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.400
I think I had like twelve of you respond back
15
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.480
and ask me some questions, and they were some interesting stuff.
16
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.040
So we're gonna go ahead, and Kelly, you can fire away.
17
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.319
Nothing is off Lennon's I am an open book.
18
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.239
All right, let's do it, and this was We're gonna
19
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.000
start here with Mark and I believe you'd say true Geo.
20
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.200
I'm not good with the last names. I might just
21
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.719
hit the first names after this. Mark T Mark t
22
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.799
all Right, Mark said, do you expect more to come
23
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.280
out with indictments for celebs who were known to attend
24
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:36.040
Diddy parties.
25
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.239
Oh, that's a good question, and I do not expect
26
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.000
anything else to come out as far as criminal indictments
27
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.040
on this case. And let me expand on that for
28
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.519
a second. So if Sean Combs is not gonna get
29
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.120
in any serious trouble, and I know he's in jail,
30
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.200
and I know they kind of threw the book at
31
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.000
him considering what his charges weren't. Look at the end
32
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.879
of the day, he was basically convicted of flying escorts
33
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.400
across state lines to participate in prostitution, absolutely against the law.
34
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.599
But most people get probation for that, to be honest
35
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.680
with you, in his case, because of all the other
36
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.479
things that came out in the trial, the judge considered
37
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.840
that even though that was not what he was in
38
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.879
trial for, when it came out, you know, they shared
39
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.240
the videos in court that he just beat the shit
40
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.639
out of Cassie and everybody saw that, including the judge.
41
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.240
Don't think that didn't play a part in the judge's
42
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.840
mind of you know what, I have a maximum here
43
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.280
that I can sentence this guy to he's not just
44
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.960
going to get probation because of all these extenuating circumstances,
45
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.120
these things. It came out in the trial that he
46
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.199
wasn't actually up for trial on but nobody likes a
47
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.199
man beaten on a woman, and the judge saw that
48
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.319
and all the drugs things that were going around that
49
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.000
came out in the trial. So he did do some
50
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.240
time that most people probably would not have done. But
51
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.199
that being said, if you can't convict him of those
52
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.719
sort of things, that would be hard to convict co
53
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.919
conspirators of those sort of things, because it's always going
54
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.000
to come back to, well, wait a minute, Sean Comes
55
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.479
didn't get convicted, How can I get convicted as a
56
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.120
co conspirator when the main dude didn't get convicted. Be
57
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.439
really hard to do. It would take an enormous amount
58
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.439
of resources. Also, and they spent so much money, meaning
59
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.240
the prosecution, the federal government on this case. I just
60
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.800
don't see that happening now. That's different than the civil
61
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.879
out allegations that he has. You know, over one hundred
62
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.719
people have come out saying he raped them and did
63
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.960
all these sorts of things. I do think he's going
64
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.319
to have to answer monetarily for a lot of that.
65
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.680
These are civil cases. He won't to do jail time
66
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.039
for any of that stuff, but he may have to
67
00:03:58.080 --> 00:03:59.840
pay some money for sure.
68
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:01.400
Well, he's got plenty.
69
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.879
Of it, he does, all right.
70
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.120
This second question is from Melissa. Who is your favorite podcaster?
71
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.919
And why don't say me? Jim.
72
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.120
I know that's what you want to say.
73
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.720
You mean, aside from kJ, Yeah, okay, aside from kJ.
74
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.079
I'm gonna say, Man, that's a tough one because I
75
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.920
listen to so many and y'all, I'm like an onion.
76
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.319
I have so many different things that I'm interested in.
77
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:32.360
It's funny because on YouTube they release every year it's
78
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.160
like a Christmas thing where they show the top episodes
79
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.040
that you watch, the top podcasters, that sort of thing,
80
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.759
and minus all every the gamut. It's everything from like
81
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:47.040
political spectrum to how to fix your car, things of
82
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.480
that nature. But if I have to pick one, I
83
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.319
would say, as of now, it used to be Joe Rogan.
84
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:58.000
Now would say Sean Ryan Man. I really admire the
85
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:02.680
way he can interview people very relaxed. He's super smart,
86
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.199
he has a lot of experience and what he talks
87
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.480
about being an ex Navy seal, and he talks to
88
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.879
people from all different walks of life, so I find
89
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.879
that very interesting. He, much like me, has an interest
90
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.560
in a variety of topics and he's really good. So
91
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.839
check him out and Sean Ryan Show.
92
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.879
I'm sure you just boosted his ratings.
93
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:25.839
I'm sure I did.
94
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:27.160
All right.
95
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.439
Now we've got Tina and she said, what case overwhelms you?
96
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.000
If any.
97
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.759
I guess upcoming? Oh, I can tell shit. I can
98
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.519
tell you that right off the bat. Epstein, Oh yeah,
99
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.160
I have a series that I am hell bent and
100
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.079
determined to do on Jeffrey Epstein that people have been
101
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.000
asking me, Look was exposed? That's right up exposed ally.
102
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.839
I mean, you couldn't get closer to the genre that
103
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.800
I covered than a Jeffrey Epstein style case. Totallywhelming. I
104
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.360
have a lot of documents, yeah, public documents that I've
105
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.439
been managed to download and get my hands on over
106
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:13.199
the years, and that case is so bizarre. The thought
107
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.639
of just breaking it down is mind blows me.
108
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.399
It's almost like it would take you a whole lifetime
109
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:21.439
just to build the case.
110
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:27.839
Yeah, and there's so much there. For example, I downloaded
111
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.079
on a pdfile I was going to print it out
112
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.720
to I saw how many pages it was, and I'm like,
113
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.759
I'm gonna have to kill five victories just to print
114
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:44.519
this out. But it was the transcript from Justlain Maxwell's trial.
115
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.879
And it wasn't the trial transcript. It was the original
116
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:53.399
questioning of her and very interesting. But damn, that's a
117
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.639
lot to cover. And so I would say, to answer
118
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.839
your question, that case overwhelms me more than any other.
119
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.199
But I'm gonna do it. It's just a matter of
120
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.519
wrapping my mind around so many twist and turns in
121
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:08.040
that case.
122
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.040
Gotcha, all right, Marty? I like that name.
123
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.079
May Marty said, have you ever been threatened or received
124
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:16.920
backlash for covering a case?
125
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.319
Oh? I know the answer, great question on exposed. No,
126
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.319
but i do another podcast called Bloody and Gola, and
127
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:33.120
I've been threatened several times in that In that podcast
128
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.040
for whatever reason, that brings out the threats, right, I
129
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.360
even got threatened by serial killer. Legit to serial killer,
130
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.720
who send me a letter? And you know who you are,
131
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.639
send me if you're listening to this one, but send
132
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.920
me a letter, you know, not only criticizing my fact finding,
133
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.480
because of course it painted him in a very bad light.
134
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.920
He's currently serving life in present, by the way, for murder. Yeah.
135
00:07:59.000 --> 00:07:59.759
He liked to kill women.
136
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.279
Yeah, and he liked to kill women. And uh so
137
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.480
he sent me a letter because he didn't like me
138
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.800
talking about him and things in that nature, threatening to
139
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.040
sue me and stuff, not threatening to kill me because
140
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.560
he's behind bars and I'm not, but uh.
141
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:15.199
Sho, get on this.
142
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:19.839
Yeah. Then he tells me don't contact him back, and I'm.
143
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.959
Like, go and say, hey, man, look, I don't even
144
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.079
get a chance to clip back. I mean, geez, luis
145
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.600
you got any time on your hand, buddy?
146
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.480
I know. Uh So that was that was a pretty
147
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.639
interesting threat that I actually took that letter and framed it.
148
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.720
I'm kid you not, And it's in my office. And
149
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.639
the reason that I did that, I framed it. I
150
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:44.240
framed a picture of the victim. And I do that
151
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.919
because every day when I come in, that reminds me
152
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.240
of why I expose these people. I look at that
153
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.600
picture and that gives me everything I need to know
154
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.279
about why, because the fact that I got under his
155
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.519
skin was uh what I'm aiming for for sure.
156
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.759
Well done, sir. All right.
157
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.399
This is from Maria, what was your most memorable podcast
158
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.840
you recorded and most emotionally challenging.
159
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.960
Who It could almost be the same one, I would
160
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.399
say the most. You know, it's the same episode on
161
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.840
both of those. And I hate to say that, but
162
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:27.639
my most memorable and my most emotionally challenging would be
163
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:32.519
the podcast that he'd called Remembering Casey, And that was
164
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:38.120
Casey Frankowski, who was a She was a helicopter pilot
165
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:43.919
in the military and helicopter went down tragically. She died
166
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:48.240
as well as some other members of the military. And
167
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.440
actually a listener asked me to cover that or wanted
168
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:57.960
me to look into that story, and you know, just
169
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:02.240
told me about her niece. And her name is Lisa Frankowski,
170
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.759
and Lisa Frankowski and I have become great friends. We
171
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.879
text back and forth all the time now. She is
172
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.600
I affectionately refer to her as my favorite New Yorker
173
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.440
and uh, she is just about as awesome a human
174
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:21.879
being as you'll ever meet. But her, you know, I
175
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:28.440
spoke to Casey's father, who is Lisa Frankowski's brother, as
176
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.639
well as Lisa about this case before I covered Casey,
177
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.320
and I feel like I know, I felt like I
178
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.679
know Casey now, and and that was a that was
179
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.080
a tough one for me to do because I saw
180
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.919
the emotions from her side of the family and and uh,
181
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.440
and it was tough, it was it was pretty emotional.
182
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.360
I have so much respect for, you know, members of
183
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.360
the military that I really put a lot of pressure
184
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.360
on myself to do with justice. And I hope, I
185
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:03.039
hope I did do that. But yeah, that will be
186
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:03.720
the answer on.
187
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.360
Both of those, all right, Williams says, how do you
188
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:08.759
verify your facts?
189
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:14.519
Great questions? Sometimes I don't just kidding, just make it
190
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.200
up whatever sounds good. No, what I primarily do. And
191
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.080
one one reason I really like it doing Exposed is
192
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.200
almost in all cases I refer to actual cored documents.
193
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.440
You can't go wrong with courd documents because that is
194
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:35.200
the written record. Right. In some other podcasts that I've
195
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.679
done in the past, there are occasions where the facts
196
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:42.559
will be wrong or there'll be uh, you'll have contradictory facts.
197
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:45.200
And I hate that when I'm researching and I'll come
198
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.639
across two different articles and they will have two different
199
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:53.320
sets of facts there, no matter how slight it, because
200
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.840
then it plays a trick on your mind and you
201
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.039
start thinking, well, which is right? You know what she
202
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.799
attacked in the house, us are outside the house. That matters.
203
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.879
Things like that and some you know, so a good
204
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:08.240
journalist will try to find three sources for everything, and
205
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:14.879
three matching sources from reliable sources, ABCNBC, Fox News, things
206
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.480
like that, and if they all pretty much g haul
207
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.559
with each other, as we'd say here in the South,
208
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.639
usually you you're going to be pretty accurate. But all
209
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.399
of us as podcasters, at one point or another may
210
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.960
have got a factor wrong. You can't be perfect. I
211
00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:35.919
know national journalists who have gotten facts wrong just because
212
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:40.000
when something is breaking or when something comes out, it
213
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:44.080
is so new and everybody's racing to get that story out,
214
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.240
and that's usually where the facts get twisted. That's why
215
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:52.200
I like to cover adjudicated closed cases because in those
216
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.000
cases you have a written record from a court document
217
00:12:55.399 --> 00:13:00.000
and that is the final facts. So but primarily with exposure,
218
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:02.159
I go off of court documents.
219
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.320
All right, and we'll follow up with laur who said,
220
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:05.600
how do you choose your cases?
221
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.120
Another question? And you know, I don't know if I
222
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.159
necessarily have a pattern. Number one, it has to interest
223
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:18.519
me first and foremost, because I have covered cases where
224
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.360
I didn't have a whole lot of interest in it personally,
225
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.679
and I feel like you can tell a difference in
226
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:29.159
the way that I present that story. When it's something
227
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:33.559
that I'm really into and that I find very interesting,
228
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:38.159
I can deliver that, I feel like with more passion,
229
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:42.639
and it just makes it more interesting. Also, the research
230
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.600
for it is a heck of a lot more interesting.
231
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.799
Anytime you're researching something that you don't have a whole
232
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.120
lot of interest in, it's kind of boring. It takes
233
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:53.360
you forever to write something like that. When it's something
234
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.879
you're interested in, it usually moves pretty quick. But I
235
00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.559
don't know if there's necessarily a pattern. I do try
236
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.879
to look for cases that are trending when I can
237
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:06.679
find those, maybe court case just wrapped up. I know
238
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:09.519
in Ditty's case that was super trending, but I also
239
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.799
had a big interest in that personally. It's kind of
240
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:16.879
like my time frame, if you will, was when Ditty's
241
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.480
heyday was happening, and so that was something I had
242
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.799
and interesting anyway. I would have followed that case anyway,
243
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:27.240
and it was trending, So that was the trifecta for
