We Saw the Devil: Crime & Political Analysis

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 covered: 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.

"They killed my wife. They shot her in the head. We have a 6-year-old at school."


That's what Renee Nicole Good's wife said, sitting in the snow, covered in blood, moments after an ICE agent murdered her in Minneapolis.


Renee was 37. Unarmed. Trying to drive away. Shot in the face through her windshield.
Trump called it self-defense. The Minneapolis ICE shooting video shows an execution.


This episode covers everything: the video eviden...

The Epstein files are dropping, and they're exactly as damning as you feared. Flight logs with presidents. Emails from princes asking for "inappropriate friends." Ten co-conspirators...nine still walking free. Guards who slept through their shifts. Cameras that conveniently broke. And a Justice Department that can't keep its story straight for 48 hours.

This episode breaks down Epstein news from the last week, why the White House w...

The DOJ had one job: release ALL the Epstein files by December 19th. Instead, we got "several hundred thousand" documents with a promise of more "in a couple weeks." Merry Christmas from the most transparent administration in history.


In this episode, we break down everything wrong with the Epstein Files release...the broken search function, the 119 completely blacked-out pages, and why Bill Clinton's face is plastered everywhere wh...

Then, we're turning our skeptical eye to the TikTok tarot readers who dish out life advice in 60 seconds or less. Is it all harmless fun, or is there a darker side to this digital divination trend?

I just got married. Now the Supreme Court is considering whether to erase marriage equality. The Trump administration hijacked federal employees' emails for partisan propaganda.
