A Chief Federal Judge is trying to determine today whether not only should he refer Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem for criminal prosecution for contempt, but whether DOJ Attorneys should be prosecuted too. In a new filing, the question is raised whether DOJ Attorneys participated in a crime or fraud with Noem that would strip her of her attorney client privilege and force her to testify and leave her defenseless to a criminal contempt referral for prosecution. Popok explains why the Judge should deny today the DOJ's motion to reconsider his order setting a contempt hearing for Monday and what will happen next.

In a brand new filing, Trump's DOJ admits that the statute of limitations has run on their criminal charges against James Comey, and that they will try to argue that Lindsey Halligan as US Attorney was only a technical defect and they have another 6 months to indict Comey. Popok explains why this will fail.

The Trump DOJ, gurgling under dozens of losses in the last 30 days, has adopted a new tactic: Just openly defying Federal Court orders, failing to file on time, or at all, failing to appear in court, and refusing to abide by court orders. Popok examines two such cases in the last 24 hours, and how Federal Judges will bring the rogue DOJ to heal.

After a bruising series of loses of their appointed "acting" and "interim" US Attorneys, Trump and his DOJ has given permission for "Acting" NJ US Attorney Alina Habba to finally just go away and resign! Popok explains how all the DOJ losses piled up and how letting Habba step down is a weak effort to save face.

Trump has admitted to using his DOJ Antitrust Division to interfere with Netflix's announced take over of Warner Discovery, including CNN, HBO and DC Comics, in order to benefit his son in law Jared Kushner who is an investor in the competing hostile bid by Paramount Skydance, controlled by Trump crony Larry Ellison of Oracle. Popok gives an overview and tutorial on Hostile take Overs and Trump's goal of controlling mainstream media, first CBS and now CNN through Ellison.

Only Trump would try (and fail) to bribe a Democratic Congressman indicted for BRIBERY, by giving him a pardon and expecting him to become a Texas Republican in return! Popok reports on Rep.

In a new ruling that Texas could use its racially motivated congressional maps for the midterm election because they were also based on party politics, the Supreme Court also inadvertently handed a win to states like California, acknowledging that their redrawn partisan maps are fine also, in a set back to Trump's DOJ. Popok explains how Justice Alito's comments will be used against Trump's DOJ in their new suit to overturn California's partisan map.

In breaking news, a Norfolk Virginia Grand Jury has refused to indict NY AG Tish James for mortgage fraud or any crime despite a new prosecutor being brought in, providing another resounding set back to Trump and his DOJ. Popok explains what will happen next as the DOJ has already thrown Lindsey Halligan under the bus, and tries to indict AG James for the third time.

Under fire Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth may have just blown up his own ship, with the disclosure of a 2016 video in which he agreed that certain war crimes need to be prosecuted (presumably like ordering defenseless ship wrecked men with their back turned not to be hit with missiles during wartime), and that soldiers have an obligation NOT to follow illegal commands of the commander in chief!. The irony of Hegseth's newly surfaced statements as he calls US Congresspeople traitors that should be courtmartialed for saying the same thing, is not lost on Popok.

Michael Popok spots something peculiar in a new filing by Epstein's co-conspirator in child sex trafficking, Ghislaine Maxwell, as her current attorney informs a federal judge that she is going to try to file another petition to get released from federal prison, but ON HER OWN, and not with an attorney!. Popok explains what just happened and what it could mean as the Epstein Trump coverup continues to spin hopelessly out of control.

Trump has officially lost it, bragging about passing “cognitive tests” that masquerade as dementia ones, while going on racist rants, interspersed with sexists ones, and then finally admitting that “affordability” in Trump America is a “con job!” When bored, he throws Administration officials like Kristie Noem, Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel under the bus. And now federal appellate courts are firing back like never before, as Trump begs his favorite Federal Judge not to release the Mar a Lago Jack Smith report.

Former FBI Dir. James Comey's lawyer, Professor Daniel Richman, has filed a new motion to prevent Trump's DOJ from using ANY part of the information they obtained from his emails, computers and laptops against Comey again, arguing that Richman's 4th Amendment rights against illegal search and seizure have been violated. Popok updates on the Comey and Letitia James investigations, including new reporting that Trump may be tryint to re-indict both of them before filing any appeal of Judge Currie's decision to find that Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed and tossing the indictments for now.

In new reporting, the FBI, working thousands of hours of overtime, was ready to produce to the public ALL the Epstein Files in April-May 2025 at the instruction of embattled FBI Dir. Patel, but AG Bondi and Trump killed the project when it reached 75% complete, according to new FBI emails. Popok reports on the countdown to the release of the files allegedly on 19 December, and the existence of a devastating Exhibit List from Epstein's trial that sheds new light on what depraved materials may be in the files.

Did Trump used his podcaster of choice, Miranda Devine, with the NY Post, to orchestrate the leak of a scathing report by insiders against FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, in order to fire them both? Popok looks at the long history of Trump using the NY Post for leaks, and why this one fits the bill, as the new report effectively demands Patel's firing before he appears again before the Congressional Judiciary Committees for questioning.

In breaking news, a unanimous Third Circuit Court of Appeals has fired Alina Habba as the NJ US Attorney, finding that she was illegally and unconstitutionally appointed. Popok explains how last week's order upholding Habba's $1million federal court sanction for an earlier Trump case by another appeals court didn't help matters, as the Supreme Court's support for Trump will now be tested in a likely emergency appeal.

The American Revolution (the documentary) is on Popok’s mind, along with “Common Sense” as he uses 4 new law and politics developments to explain how we are in our “King George” moment and patriots must respond. On the Intersection Podcast, Popok dives deep into what the firing of Lindsey Halligan by a Federal Judge means and what will happen in the next 72 hours that should set your hair on fire. Then he turns to a brand new federal court order that the Trump DOJ and FBI must IMMEDIATELY turn over all communication between Trump and Epstein without further delay, and whether Judge Chutkan’s battle with Trump will turn out better this time. Judge Boasberg revives his criminal contempt proceedings against the Trump Administration and DOJ which threatens to have Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer and now Fed Appellate Court Judge Emil Bove found in criminal contempt. Rep Eric Swalwell fires the first salvo suing Trump’s attack dog Bill Pulte for his phony mortgage fraud charges and investigation first, winning that all important race to the courthouse. Finally, Popok explains why Former DOJ veteran Joe Schnitt sues to get his old DOJ job back after being fired for telling a dating app “undercover” the truth about Trump and the Epstein Files and coverup and getting fired for it.

The new polling numbers after the Election Night wipeout for Trump are in, and they are a disaster for MAGA and him, with 76 percent of Independents (who had supported him in 2024), declaring him "unfavorable". Popok explores Trump's very public losing his grip on his sanity and power, as Americans reject overwhelming a heartless president who has no compassion for them economically, and who supports crushing the poor, and covering up for child sex traffickers.

In breaking news, Trump's DOJ and his novice prosecutor Lindsey Halligan in a new late night filing, effectively admit fatal "errors" in how Halligan had the Former FBI Director James Comey "edited" after the Grand Jury left for the day by a "coordinator", that there was no required transcript of her interaction with grand jurors, and that the purported indictment was never seen by the grand jury to vote on it. Popok dissects the new legal brief and explains how even Halligan and the DOJ know they will likely be on the losing end of the case, with the indictment likely to be dismissed and for good by Judge Nachmanoff.
