FELON Trump has MAJOR MEETING before SENTENCING…
Trump’s interview with the NY probation department to allow them to prepare a presentencing recommendation to the trial judge before he sentences him on 7/11, has the real possibility of quickly jumping the track, as Trump and his lawyers try to use the interview to argue that Trump’s criminal trial was a “witch hunt”, and “lawless” and will be “reversed” and he should get no punishment. Michael Popok explains what will likely occur during the interview and how that will shape the outcome of the report.Head to https://Rhone.com/LEGALAF and use code LEGALAFto save 20% off your entire order!Visit https://meidastouch.com for more!Join us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/legalafRemember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts:MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcastLegal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-afThe PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-politicsgirl-podcastThe Influence Continuum: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-influence-continuum-with-dr-steven-hassanMea Culpa with Michael Cohen: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohenThe Weekend Show: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-weekend-showBurn the Boats: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/burn-the-boatsMajority 54: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/majority-54Political Beatdown: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdownLights On with Jessica Denson: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/lights-on-with-jessica-densonOn Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellman Learn more about your ad choices.
