Family Court Circus

Susan Bassi’s Journalistic Treason

    A bitter feud has erupted inside the family court reform movement, now dubbed “Susan Bassi’s Journalistic Treason.” Once hailed as a transparency crusader, California journalist Susan Bassi stands accused of betraying protective parents by torpedoing the case of Julie Holburn, a mother fighting to expose abuse and corruption in Orange County. Richard Luthmann, Michael Volpe, and Family Court Fraud Warrior Project leader Dave Weigel have blasted Bassi as a turncoat protecting the very system she once vowed to fight. The fallout has sparked a civil war, leaving the reform movement fractured and Bassi’s credibility under fire.

    Bigger Bitch Susan Bassi? Luthmann wonders whether the California Reporter is a bigger bitch than Kyle's mom on South Park after Holburn snub.

    Bigger Bitch Susan Bassi? Bigger Than Kyle’s Mom?

      A no-holds-barred media war has erupted between California’s Susan Bassi and Florida “tough guy” journalist Richard Luthmann. The flashpoint: Bassi’s refusal to cover Julie Holburn’s harrowing family court abuse case, despite years of following it and viewing raw evidence. Luthmann accuses Bassi of hypocrisy, DARVO tactics, and being compromised by Chinese Communist Party-linked TikTok funding. Bassi fired back, attacking Luthmann’s ethics and dismissing his journalism. Luthmann responded with a formal Florida Statute 770.01 litigation notice, daring her to set foot in Florida. The feud has gone public — and personal — with reputations, credibility, and serious corruption allegations all on the line.

      NYC District Attorney Perjury: Mike McMahon faces perjury for a false complaint against journalist Richard Luthmann over a Substack email.

      NYC District Attorney Perjury! McMahon ‘Fear’ Complaint Against Family Court Circus Blog Editor Backfires

        Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon is under fire for allegedly filing a false police report claiming he feared for his life over a mass Substack newsletter sent by muckraking journalist Richard Luthmann. The email, written by Dr. Bandy Lee and distributed to over 33,000 readers, contained no threats or even mention of McMahon. Critics say McMahon’s emotional “victim” claim is perjury, part of a years-long vendetta to silence Luthmann for exposing political corruption. Now, multiple outlets are reporting that a criminal referral is heading to FBI Director Kash Patel, and federal prosecution for McMahon’s alleged weaponization of justice may follow.

        First Amendment Allergic Reaction: Judges in the Mist

          In Connecticut’s twisted judicial theater, Judge Peter L. Brown nearly choked on the First Amendment—triggered by blog posts and Joette Katz’s authoritarian musings. The blog that drives judges mad, The Family Court Circus, has long skewered Katz, a former justice turned censor-in-chief. Her 2022 op-ed, “When Is Enough Enough?”, drew fire for labeling satire as criminal “threats.” Now, a courtroom transcript reveals Judge Brown’s allergic meltdown over the blog’s political speech, exposing the fragile egos and coordinated efforts of Katz, Gold, Bozzuto, and their DEI-infused judicial gang to weaponize the courts against free expression. The First Amendment’s enemies wear robes.

            On The Unknown Podcast, Paul Boyne delivered a thunderous rebuke of Connecticut’s political and judicial elite. With hosts Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe, Boyne detailed his civil and criminal battles against Governor Ned Lamont, exposing illegal extradition, stolen evidence, and judicial corruption. He accused state actors of violating the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments, breaching the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act, and suppressing constitutionally protected speech through an unconstitutional “stalking speech” law. From the Silver Platter Doctrine to Joette Katz’s behind-the-scenes influence, this episode is a masterclass in how state power can be abused to silence political dissent.
