Legal AF by MeidasTouch

The podcast dives into the escalating legal drama surrounding Special Counsel Jack Smith's unreleased Volume 2 report on Trump's activities. The 11th Circuit Court has given Judge Cannon a 60-day deadline to decide on its public release. Key issues include the role of Kash Patel and the contrasting openness of Volume 1. Public interest groups are pushing for access, arguing that transparency is crucial for government accountability. The implications of these legal maneuvers could shape public understanding of the ongoing Trump investigations.

In breaking news, a Trump-appointed Federal Judge issued a late Sunday night emergency Preliminary Injunction continuing to block Trump’s attempts to violate State Sovereignty and federalize and deploy state militia/national guard on the streets of Portland. Michael Popok explains that the Judge will be entering the final Permanent Injunction against The Trump Administration by Friday, but because Trump refused to give her the time to issue her final order, she was forced to enter an emergency preliminary injunction. Popok also explains how this case and its legal arguments may impact the United States Supreme Court's ultimate decision on whether Trump can send federalized troops into Blue States and Cities because he says so.

Lindsey Halligan puts her law license in jeopardy, as lawyers and judges demand to see what she exactly told the grand jury when she obtained her first ever federal indictments against Trump’s political critics. The Supreme Court may be ready to reign in Trump and his abuse of power through the take over of State National Guard, with a landmark decision on the validity of Trump’s Tariffs coming up for an oral argument this week; Trump turns his back on fragile Americans facing starvation and holds a multi million dollar “Great Gatsby” theme Halloween party at Mar a Lago primarily with taxpayer funds. Kash Patel moves closer to be axed as FBi Director. And so much more on the top rated Legal AF Podcast with Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok Learn more about your ad choices.

Two judges have intervened to ensure $6 billion in SNAP funding reaches 40 million Americans at risk of losing food assistance. One judge took a cautious approach, requiring a plan from the agency, while the other issued a direct order for immediate payments. The contrasting legal strategies, both aimed at the same goal, highlight the ongoing political and humanitarian stakes involved. With many affected individuals being Trump voters, the situation underscores the broader implications of these rulings and calls for quick congressional action.

Trump’s efforts to use the Shutdown to put a blindfold around the Fed to deny it key economic data so it would fly blind during today’s Interest Rate setting meeting, backfired, as the Fed Chair said that when in a “fog” you “slow down” indicating that Trump screwed up his efforts to get a second rate cut next month by keeping the Government shut down. Michael Popok puts on his Wall Street goggles to take a look at today’s Federal Open Markets Committee Meeting results and what it says about Trump’s failed economy and the suffering of Americans.

In breaking news, a South Carolina Federal Judge who will decide whether Trump’s novice prosecutor Lindsey Halligan will keep her judge, has issued a devastating order against Halligan, calling her “the indictment signer” only and refusing to use her US Attorney title, and ordering that “all documents relating” to her “participation in the grand jury” be turned over to the Judge. Michael Popok explains why this is so damning as the Judge considers whether to bounce Halligan AND whether she will throw out the Former FBI Director James Comey and NY AG Tish James Indictment along with it.

Michael Popok explains why a 1 paragraph order in the last few hours from the Supreme Court may spell disaster for Trump’s plan to continue to attack Blue States and Blue Cities with federalized National Guard. That one question could signal that there is at least 1 MAGA Supreme Court justice who may be willing to rein in Trump and his abuse of the National Guard.

Twenty-nine appeals judges have overturned a pro-Trump ruling on the use of the National Guard in Oregon, setting the stage for a new trial against the Trump administration. Meanwhile, the Seventh Circuit issued a head-scratching decision undermining a federal judge’s attempt to rein in out-of-control federal leaders, and the Supreme Court dropped a bizarre late-afternoon ruling. Elsewhere, a federal judge came down hard on Trump’s novice prosecutor Lindsey Halligan, and Trump’s appeal of his criminal conviction already looks exhausted before oral arguments even begin.

In a shocking turn of events, new evidence has been revealed that Trump’s Federal law enforcement and national guard troops are FIRING at Local law enforcement in Oregon, hitting them with tear gas and pepper balls, facts that will come out in a new trial that starts in front of Judge Immergut. Michael Popok reports on the trial and the fact that the day before it began, the majority of 29 judges that make up the 9th Circuit signaled to Judge Immergut that she is doing the right thing, by tossing out an earlier appeal ruling against her that allowed Trump to deploy the National Guard.

Trump ignores the suffering of Americans during the shutdown, jetting off to Asia to try to clean up his economic messes while constructing a golden ballroom where the White House’s East Wing once stood. In contrast, 22 Democratic attorneys general have filed a new emergency lawsuit demanding that Trump pay $8 billion in November to help prevent 42 million American babies, children, elderly, and disabled from going hungry. California Attorney General Rob Bonta joins Michael Popok to brief the audience on the new suit, the judge assigned, and this week’s emergency hearing.
