About this episode

Investigative journalists and an attorney discuss a coordinated campaign of harassment disguised as litigation ahead of a contempt hearing.

Investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and Attorney Eric Bland pull no punches as a brutal week looms. With Mandy's May 15 contempt hearing approaching and Eric facing his own all-day ODC deposition Wednesday, the trio breaks down what they call a coordinated campaign of harassment dressed up as litigation. Mandy responds — emotionally and on the record — to a paltry excuse for journalism, including the reputationally damaging and wildly defamatory suggestion she might have information about the leaked Mallory Beach photos. Liz lays out the timeline: Gregg Roman, the actual custodian of those photos, has dodged two depositions while Mandy gets ambushed in court. Eric explains how the ODC has been weaponized against lawyers who do good work, with grievances quietly bundled for years.
