We Saw the Devil: Crime & Political Analysis

We Saw the Devil is the podcast that refuses to separate murder from power, violence from policy, and crime from the systems that create it. Hosted by Robin, a veteran true crime researcher and political commentator, We Saw the Devil digs into the cases that expose the rot at the heart of American institutions. This isn't your typical true crime podcast. We don't just ask "who did it" — we ask who allowed it, who covered it up, who profited, and whose bodies are always the ones that end up in the ground. From serial killers protected by police to political violence disguised as law enforcement, from cold cases buried by corruption to state-sanctioned murder carried out in broad daylight — We Saw the Devil connects the dots between crime, politics, and power that other podcasts won't touch.

What makes this show different:

Every case exists within systems — police departments, courts, prisons, immigration enforcement, political machines. We examine those systems.
Cases others won't cover. Police killings. Political assassinations. Government-adjacent violence. Crimes committed by the powerful against the powerless.
Deep research, not just Wikipedia. Court documents. FOIA requests. Original interviews. First-person sources. We do the work.
No cop worship. We respect victims and survivors. We don't lionize law enforcement or assume the official story is true.
Intersections of crime and politics. How true crime and political crime overlap: corruption, cover-ups, state violence, and the bodies left behind.

Episodes cover:

Cold cases and unsolved murders
Serial killers and the systems that enabled them
Police violence and law enforcement killings
Political crimes and government corruption
Missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW)
Immigration enforcement and border deaths
Wrongful convictions and prosecutorial misconduct
Historical true crime with modern political resonance
Breaking cases with political dimensions

If you believe that true crime isn't just entertainment, that understanding violence means understanding power...this is your podcast.

Red, White & Bruised: Aftyn Behn, Pete Hegseth's War Crimes Speedrun, & Enemy Lists that Have Waitlists

This week on Red, White & Bruised: Tennessee's 7th District special election is somehow competitive in a Trump +22 district, and it's all thanks to Aftyn Behn, a progressive state rep who won't apologize for hating bachelorette parties or fighting corporate tax dodgers. We break down why her campaign is the blueprint Democrats need and why Republicans are in full panic mode.

Then: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly ordered the military to "kill everybody" on a suspected drug boat, leading to a second strike on survivors—which is, you know, a war crime. Robin dissects the messy timeline, the conflicting White House stories, and why this scandal is just getting started.

Plus: Luigi Mangione is back in court fighting to suppress evidence in the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder case, and his legal battle is revealing uncomfortable truths about America's broken healthcare system and why so many people can't condemn a murder without adding "but I understand why."

And finally: Trump's revenge prosecution of James Comey spectacularly collapses after a federal judge rules the prosecutor's appointment was unconstitutional. Schadenfreude at its finest.

Grab your coffee (or wine) and let's go.
