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.

We are in a war that we are very carefully not calling a war, which feels like when you eat an entire cake and say, “I didn’t eat it, I just emotionally processed it.” Meanwhile, the president is on the golf course, just out there living his best retired billionaire life, while the res...
This week we're taking a detour from the usual political hellscape to cover something that is, underneath the celebrity packaging, the exact same story: who gets protected, who gets discarded, and how the machine that hands powerful men unlimited second acts is the same machine running everything else we cover on this show.

The survivors sat three feet behind the Attorney General of the United States...a phalanx of white and blacked-out redaction shirts.

But when asked if they actually trusted the DOJ? Dead silence.
While they stood, Pa...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
