Summary
A judge has greenlit unannounced searches of podcasters James Di Fiore and David Wallace, accusing them of launching a “no-holds-barred” campaign against former AHS board member Sandy Edmondstone — with videos online and threats escalating. Their lawyer argued Charter rights were violated, but the judge ruled private citizens aren’t protected under those laws. Now, former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos is joining the fray, demanding contempt charges and a restraining order, claiming she and her family are also targets of intimidation. Videos remain online despite deletion orders, and investigators are probing who’s funding the podcasters. The defense counters that just speaking critically on a podcast doesn’t equal contempt — and a decision is expected soon. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
