What was supposed to be a sign of unity by a fractious DOJ and FBI leadership called together by Trump in the Oval Office turned into a dressing down of Bondi, Blanche, and Patel by Trump, who demanded that his former Special Counsel, Jack Smith, be indicted along with others in the former DOJ leadership. Michael Popok explains how Jack Smith’s first interview since being fired was well timed to coincide with Trump’s renewed campaign to have him indicted. In other words, “see you in Court.” Check out the Popok Firm: https://thepopokfirm.com Remember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts: MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcast Legal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-af MissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trial The PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-politicsgirl-podcast The Influence Continuum: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-influence-continuum-with-dr-steven-hassan Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohen The Weekend Show: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-weekend-show Burn the Boats: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/burn-the-boats Majority 54: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/majority-54 Political Beatdown: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdown On Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellman Uncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncovered Coalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

With photos leaking out of Trump endorsing adult male and female Young Republicans who on newly leaked text message chains celebrated Hitler, Gas Chambers, killing jews, using the N word, using homophobic and sexist slurs, VP JD Vance came to the rescue, declaring that the 2900 pages of text messages and 251 slurs, were just “one off” “edgy comments” made by “young boys”, including the racist messaging of the mid 30’s “general course’ of the NY Young Republicans Club.  Michael Popok brings the receipts in the wake of Politico’s exposé.   Check out the Popok firm: https://thepopokfirm.com Subscribe:  @LegalAFMTN  Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

In a 3-0 decision led by 2 Republican Judges, the Trump Administration and its DOJ have been defeated again in a victory for States' Rights, with the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals over Chicago, ruling that during the pendency of the appeal, Trump will not be able to deploy any National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago/Illinois. Michael Popok explains how the Court used the Trump Administration’s own bragging about the success of its immigration detention operation, WITHOUT the national guard’s help, against them.

Do we have a new shadow Attorney General named “Eagle” Ed Martin who reports only to Trump? Why did former Special Counsel Jack Smith pick right now to speak to America? Will the Comey Indictment ultimately lead to the disqualification of Lindsey Halligan and the implosion of the DOJ? Will Arizona’s AG sue MAGA Mike to make sure Rep. Grijalva is sworn in and the Epstein Files are released? How quickly will the MAGA 6 on the Supreme Court rule that there do not have to be ANY black congressional districts in America? Michael Popok is joined by Karen Friedman Agnifilo on the top ranked Legal AF podcast to make it make sense.

Leave it to VP JD Vance to CONFESS on live television that a Tom Homan Bribery VIDEO exists, during his testy interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. Michael Popok caught what others missed, in JD exchange with George, as JD tries to characterize $50,000 in bribe money in a paper bag handed to Homan the Border Czar, as just a run of the mill, garden variety $50,000 bag of cash like others Homan has accepted in the past?!?

The Epstein Trump Coverup scandal has taken a new twist, as the Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, who prosecuted Trump’s gang and its role in the 2020 election interference the last time around, just threatened to bring a suit for mandamus against Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson if he doesn’t swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva who is ready to be the final signature on the petition to put the release of the Epstein Files to a House Vote. Michael Popok explains how MAGA is trying to block her swearing in to put pressure on the Democrats in funding/Shutdown negotiations, and to stop the release of the Epstein Files.

Trump blurts out overtly sexist and disgusting things about Press Sec Caroline Leavitt’s mouth, while preying on Italian PM Meloni fresh off his Middle East trip. JD Vance blurts out on network television that there ARE Tom Homan bribe videos that haven’t been produced to the American People; Trump’s pet Lindsey Halligan blurts out that she indicted NY AG Tish James because “she wanted to get it over with;” James Comey’s lawyers blurt out that they will be filing a motion to declare Halligan illegally appointed and to have it assigned to a new judge; Alex Jones blurts out to the Supreme Court that he shouldn’t be held liable for defaming and causing the Sandy Hook Elementary School parents emotional harm by claiming their children aren’t really dead, because he has a lot of followers and subscribers; the Supreme Court holds an oral argument upon which the entirely of the foundation of our representative democracy rests, meaning whether we will ever have black and brown Congresspeople ever again.

In breaking news, Former FBI Director James Comey, framed on perjury charges by Trump, has come out swinging and with a procedural twist, in notifying his trial judge that he is filing a Motion to disqualify Trump’s teacher’s pet of a prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, as having been illegally appointed. Find out from Michael Popok why they have asked a judge OUTSIDE of Virginia to hear the motion, and how that works, and why Popok thinks 2 motions are going to be filed on 10/20 and not just one.

Did Trump just compromise our national security by having to tell China this week that it has been spying on it and discovered former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s “AOL” emails on Chinese servers, before Indicting Bolton? And Did Trump just cover up blowing a surveillance operation over China by announcing new “maximum tariffs” against China blowing up the Stock Market, all to allow him to vindictively prosecute one of his political enemies? Popok makes sense of all of Trump’s bizarre behavior today and his willingness to stop at nothing to make a critique pay. Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

In Breaking News, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked Trump’s deployment of Federalized National Guard Troops on the streets of Chicago and the rest of the state, ordering them to remain in their barracks until they have had a chance to consider Trump’s appeal. Triggered by the ruling, VP JD Vance took to the airwaves to promote the use of the Insurrection Act, as Stephen Miller’s phony law firm “America First Legal” asks to file a brief to support Stephen Miller’s own policies. Michael Popok looks at the new ruling and how federal trial courts are ruling against Trump by citing to the Founding Fathers and Framers, and warning Americans that Trump poses an existential threat to our Republic.

Trolling Trump and rejecting him with a pointed message of what a peacemaker really looks like is not beneath the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, as they release the emotional phone call made to the true winner, Maria Corina Machado, the exiled opposition leader of the “election-denying” Jan 6-like coup in Venezuela. Michael Popok brings the receipts with the poignant phone call from the Committee to Ms. Machado, and in that call Popok sees the reason that Trump will NEVER will the prize, as he moves closer to indicted international war criminal than a peace prize recipient.

Former FBI Director James Comey court arraignment on perjury charges was such a disaster for Trump and his Insta-Prosecutor US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan, that the proceeding left her, according to witnesses, “rocking back and forth in her chair and nodding”; as 2 North Carolina prosecutors had to be imported in at the last minute to handle the arraignment when NO career prosecutor in Halligan’s own office would help her! Michael Popok puts on his court clothes to dissect what just happened, including Trump chickening out on “perp walking” Comey, and how the judge setting a trial less than 3 MONTHS from now works to Comey’s advantage.

Is Lindsey Halligan, Trump’s latest flavor of the month, gunning for Pam Bondi’s job as Attorney General?   And how much longer can a Bondi squint, scoff and roll her eyes in Senate Judiciary Committee meetings and still keep her job? How are Biden appointed judges viewing the deficient on their face indictments of Former FBI Director Comey and AG Leticia  James?  Did Trump just tell China we ware spying on them in order to indict his political critic John Bolton? Is Trump’s DOJ helping Ghisilaine Maxwell with her writ of Habeas Corpus filing to get out of jail now that she’s lost at the Supreme Court? Will the MAGA Supreme Court chastise federal judges who are trying to protect states from Trump’s using of a standing army to punish Blue States and political rivals, or preserve our system of federalism and states’ rights?

Trump’s hit man Bill Pulte’s finger prints are all of the 2 count indictment in which Trump has framed NY AG Leticia James for mortgage fraud. One look at the threadbare indictment tells you all you need to know that it is highly unlikely that they will sustain a conviction against James, and much more likely that it will be dismissed for prosecutorial misconduct and vindictive prosecution. Michael Popok has the indictment (and the Biden-appointed Judge assigned to the case) and walks the audience through next steps.

In stunning and breaking news, Trump has the NY Attorney General Leitia James— who successfully had Trump and his family declared fraudsters by a NY judge — indicted and framed on mortgage fraud charges, using his hand picked prosecutor Lindsey Halligan. Michael Popok pulls all the information together, including the refusal of the career prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia US Attorney office to indict AG James, and Letitia declaring to the world that she is ferocious and will not back down to Trump no matter what.

Things went terribly for Trump and his DOJ lackey Lindsey Halligan during Former FBI Director Comey’s arraignment, as the Court sets a trial date of January 5, 2026! Pam Bondi, the pathetic excuse for an Attorney General removed all doubt about her competence with her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where the Epstein Coverup blew up in her face, again. The 9th Circuit hears oral argument about whether Trump can mobilize the national guard into Portland, as the 3 judges picked to hear the case are not what we expected. The Supreme Court MAGA 6 was back in action with 2 big oral arguments this week and which may hold the key to how they vote the rest of the new term. And Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo make it make sense, on the rated Legal AF Podcast exclusively on the MeidasTouch Network.

A once proud US Attorneys’ Office that is both on fire and “leaks” at the same time. A resistance movement of former DOJ senior officials ban together to warn America about the Trump Administration. A current Attorney General who is being judged by history (and future impeachment managers and prosecutors) and is failing on national TV. A Supreme Court and its MAGA wing that woke up and remembered the First Amendment today. Federal judges fight back to protect Trump’s hostile take over of Blue States and possible use of the Insurrection Act. The Epstein Scandal roars back into view, as Trump says things out loud about the convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell that gets people starting to look up the 25th Amendment and its removal process again. And Trump’s attempts to pin the blame on the Democrats for the first government shut down in history where the President controls all 3 branches of government (!!), backfires spectacularly, including in the Courts. And Popok is at The Intersection to make it make sense.

In Breaking News, an openly defiant Trump Administration has met its match as an Oregon Trump-appointed Federal Judge just issued her second Emergency Temporary Restraining Order in 24 hours to prevent Trump from sending federalized national guards troops from California and around the country into Portland. Michael Popok is joined by California Attorney General Rob Bonta for an exclusive briefing about Judge Immergut’s latest emergency injunction ruling, as she fears that Trump is moving the nation from “Constitutional law” to “martial law.” Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

What does winning look like against Trump in the federal courts during the Shutdown Showdown with the Democrats? What does winning look like when you bring a motion to dismiss a criminal indictment brought by Trump’s corrupt DOJ for “vindictive prosecution”? What does winning look like if you are Former FBI Director James Comey and the FBI wants to “perp walk” you for next week’s arraignment? What does winning look like in cases filed about Trump’s using tax payer dollars to generate political propaganda on Government websites, emails and voicemails? What does winning look like when the Supreme Court’s new term opens this coming week? Ben and Popok define “winning” in all of these contexts on the top rated Legal AF Podcast exclusively on the Meidas Touch Network.

I have no love for Speaker Johnson or the behavior of his party. He did, however. say something that seems to make sense, i.e., why should we continue subsidizing health insurance companies when what's really needed to reduce costs are structural changes to the insurance industry/system? Is that just a bunch of baloney? Will Reps really work to effectuate that change or are they so beholden to insurance companies that it's just talk?

Re: the Harvard research grants judge, hallelujah, she recognized that there's no nexus between the health research grants and anti-semitic speech.

I hope the public understands that the President has an unlimited amount of funding to play his political games, while cities (like L.A. and Washington, D.C.), have limited budgets and numerous laws they must follow to address crime and homelessness. I, for one, do not support a President who abuses the law and norms to manipulate voters. He and his DOJ are the biggest law-breakers in the U.S. using "emergencies" that don't exist to bend the law.

How about explaining how the Reagan Library ended up with an Air Force One? I'd like to be prepared to address the issue of how that transfer will differ from the proposed Trump transfer. Also, how about further explaining what constitutes an "emergency" situation that gives the President additional powers. The only one I remember under Biden was Covid, a worldwide pandemic (and legitimately an emergency).

I'm asking these question everywhere and would love an inforned answer (particularly from my Christian friends). What's going to happen to the human beings who are being put into these new deportation camps in our country and others? Will these humans ever get an opportunity to be heard? If in the U.S. illegally, how much time will they serve, i.e., will they ever be released? The questions go on and on re: the future of these humans.

I thought the Supreme Court ruled that all ICE detainees were to receive due process, but it seems like people are disappearing left and right Is there any evidence that the Trump Administration is complying with the due process ruling?

Also, would you talk about the plans Krasnov has for creating a SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND? It sounds like a way to hide any money he might steal from our government and our people.

Is it legal for Krasnov to be writing a letter to the Supreme Court?

Google Curtis YARVIN. This tech bro has a philosophy to turn the US into a techno state. These ideas have been very popular in the techbro world for some years. If you want to learn where musk and his minions got their anti-democratic ideas or if you are underestimating the depth and strength of the techbros takeover of America, research this fella.

Popok, I'd also be interested in your views on my previous question about tariffs. I appreciate your wisdom and these 2 questi ons have been on my mind, but I can't find much on them. Thanks for gifting me a modicum of sanity these days.
