[Scientology attorney Vicki Podberesky and Deputy DA Reinhold Mueller]
We’re still stunned at what happened yesterday morning at the Danny Masterson retrial in Los Angeles, and we’re still working find out what the implications are going to be.

We know you haven’t heard a word about this in the mainstream media, perhaps in part because there were only three people sitting on press row yesterday and there’s been very little coverage of the day to day doings of the trial except for in places like this one.

But we wanted to go back to that moment in the morning with what was said by Deputy DA Reinhold Mueller and how he revealed that attorneys for the Church of Scientology somehow have copies of the redacted police reports, emails, texts and photos that the DA’s office had turned over to the defense in a serious criminal case…


Deputy DA Reinhold Mueller: So the People became aware of an issue, mostly last night, but there was an email that was sent from Vicki Podberesky on May 2nd of 2023 to our Assistant District Attorney, James Garrison, as well as the — our bureau director, Larry Droeger. And the subject is listed as “False reports of stalking and harassment by the Church of Scientology.”~~~READ MORE

She must have forwarded the link to the discovery documents by mistake.
Not looking closely enough before she pressed "send."

Podberesky or DM would have no reason to show their hand, that is, that they have
all those discovery files.

If she was a Scientologist that mistake would be enough to get her onto the RPF for the next decade.
If the CoS isn't doing the RPF right now they might restart it for her.

Here's a post from Leah Remini (from her Substack account):

I have some important news to share.

News that has frustrated and angered me.

In the rape trial of celebrity Scientologist Danny Masterson yesterday, the Los Angeles District Attorney's office revealed that Scientology has covertly obtained a significant amount of criminal discovery materials.

Scientology has no reason to have criminal discovery materials in its possession. No reason at all. Scientology, which should be a co-defendant in this trial, has repeatedly lied, saying it has no covert involvement in this trial.

But longtime Scientology attorney Vicki Podberesky made a colossal error last week. Vicki, who receives her orders directly from Captain David Miscavige, emailed the DA's office to complain about how Scientology was being treated in the trial.

But when Vicki was sending the email, she made a grave error. She included a link in her email. When the DA's office clicked on that link, they were shocked to see a massive amount of their criminal discovery.

This is the same criminal discovery the DA shared with Danny Masterson's defense team. This is a huge deal! This confirms that Scientology, which has tax exemption based on its religious status (it's not a religion), is colluding with Danny Masterson and his defense team.

The Judge immediately asked Danny's defense attorney, Philip Cohen, if he shared the discovery with Scientology. Cohen said no.

While I don't believe Cohen, a slimy, victim-shaming attorney, who somehow manages to sleep at night even though he takes his orders from Captain David Miscavige, there are other possibilities of who could have shared these materials with Scientology.

Shawn Holley, Danny's other defense attorney, who has a sign in her office that says, "Don't cloud the argument with facts." Shawn has spent more time trying to get me thrown out of court when I'm present to support the Jane Does than defending her client.

Danny's previous defense attorney Thomas Mesereau, who Cohen replaced, also had access to this discovery.

It could easily be Danny and his family who handed over the discovery to Scientology. They are all Scientologists who believe they're above the law. Scientology policy requires Scientologists to turn over these materials.

It could have been one of Danny's buddies in his crew of Scientologists called the Donkey Punch Bunch (more on that later). These Scientologists have participated in a conspiracy to obstruct justice in this case and other cases, all to protect Scientology.

I have great respect for defense attorneys and especially public defenders. They're an essential part of our deeply flawed criminal justice system. But I don't respect defense attorneys who spend their time doing Scientology's bidding.

There is nothing Scientology and Scientologists won't do to infiltrate government offices, organizations, and institutions. There's nothing Scientology won't do to obtain the intel it needs to protect itself. It has literally been Scientology policy for seven decades.

Those of us who fight against Scientology's abuses have been trying to get the media, law enforcement officials, and others to understand how Scientology operates.

We've warned them that Scientology will stop at nothing to infiltrate this trial, the jury, the LAPD, and the DA's office. But we've largely been waived off. After you’re done reading this post, please read this thread about certain LAPD officials who collude with Scientology.

Last week, Reverend N.J. "Skip" L'Heureux, a so-called reverend wearing a collar, appeared in court. He told Shawn Holley he was invited there by Scientology. However, when Judge Olmedo directly asked him if he was associated with Scientology, he lied and said he wasn't.

Meanwhile, Reverend Skip, who isn't a Scientologist, has a nearly three-decade history with Scientology, including sending this letter to Disney on Scientology letterhead! All of this lying, corruption, and obstruction is happening out in the open!



A portion of a letter written on Scientology letterhead from Reverend N.J. “Skip” L'Heureux to Disney CEO Bob Iger trying to get my documentary series on A&E canceled. The letterhead has Scientology's address on it!
Scientology has repeatedly attacked reporters, advocates, and survivors who have said they are involved in this trial. They've referred to anyone who has stated this fact as a bigot. Yesterday, Vicki Podberesky confirmed everything we knew. But will anyone care?

All of this infuriates me because people are giving Scientology precisely what it wants: indifference. Scientology is fueled by the indifference of people who can do something about its abuses and criminality. It's a travesty of justice.

Members of the media who don't properly report on Scientology -- which means learning what Scientology ACTUALLY is and not just asking to interview me -- and seek to avoid harassment instead of doing their job and revealing Scientology's criminality and corruption.

It's fueled by people who foolishly think they know everything about Scientology and then do things like publish statements from Scientology's spokesperson which disregards the fact that Scientology has policies (laws) that require lying to the media and law enforcement.

By the way, I waited a few hours to post this because I hoped that a bombshell this significant would get mainstream media coverage.

So far, silence from mainstream media members who breathlessly covered every raised eyebrow and cough in the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial.

^^^^^^After posting this I decided to post it in a new thread. Leah has a new Substack account she started in the past week or two, and I'll add additional relevant postings from her to that thread.
