Legal AF by MeidasTouch

The most important legal and political events of this week are broken down by Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok the founders of the top rated Legal AF podcast.  This week, the anchors take on: 1) Trump's firing anyone that suggests that his failed economic policies are failing; 2) Trump scarring the White House the way he scarred the Capitol on Jan 6, and wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to do it; 3) an appellate court is about to strike down all of Trump's tariffs; 4) updates in the Epstein Pedophile Scandal, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

Trump-enomics may have just crashed the economy, as new revised job numbers show that Trump and his economic team have been lying to the American people about job growth— with new numbers showing that almost 260,000 LESS jobs were created by Trump in May and June than he previously reported. And Manufacturing supply chain managers have stopped buying inventory. Trump response: call for a Federal Reserve coup to take over the Fed, and cut rates, yet another Coup-moment for Trump. Michael Popok puts on his Wall Street hat to report.

Trump’s Tariff scheme and fictional “trade deals” will go up in flames and soon, based on the heavy skepticism shown by most of the judges of the Trump defense of his “tariff power” at a hearing before the full 11 judges of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.Or as one one succinctly put it “there is no mention of the word ‘tariff’ in the emergency power statute you rely on!’” Michael Popok gives an overview of the oral argument, and when Trump may have to start refunding billions of dollars of fraudulent tariffs.

Should the Manhattan DA try to go after Ghislaine Maxwell and get the Epstein Files now? Why isn't anyone covering that ALL federal criminal cases in NJ have been halted while the judges sort out the Alina Habba appointment mess? Now that Trump has pissed off Chief Judge Boesberg with a phony ethics charge, what will he do next against the DOJ lawyers in front of him? And what can our audience do right now to address the MAGA and Trump attempt to steal the midterm election through "redistricting".

Just days after Chief Judge Boasberg threatened to refer DOJ lawyers to bar grievance committees for disciplinary proceedings for lying to him, AG Pam Bondi, in an act of cowardice, had an underlying in her office file a complaint against Boesberg to have him removed from a high profile case related to Trump’s abuse of power based on something that allegedly happened 4 months ago, using a manufactured story run on Fox News. Michael Popok catches the lies in the judicial complaint and runs it all to ground on his latest hot take.

Join Popok at the Intersection where he takes your questions, doesn’t pull any punches and is completely uncensored. Tonight, along with audience questions, he briefs the audience on: 1) late breaking Epstein news, including Trump’s admission that he knew that Epstein was using Mar a Lago as a hunting ground for his pedophile ring; 2) the corrupt members of the DOJ running into trouble keeping their US Attorney position (Habba) or their appellate court nomination (Bove); 3) an additional layer of grimey grift by Trump as he not only waits to receive his $400 million dollar Qatari plane/bribe, but uses tax payer dollars to turn his Trump Organization Golf Course celebration in Scotland into an “official” public event; 4) the truth behind the non-binding, unenforceable completely impossible to accomplish EU tariff non-deal, deal, and how this shows how unmoored from reality Trump and his cabinet are about what matters to the American people, and so much more at the Intersection.

Emil Bove, Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer, has a second whistleblower that’s filed a complaint with the DOJ Office of Inspector General, claiming that Bove promoted DOJ attorneys to disobey federal court orders related to the removal without due process of migrants. Michael Popok also calls out the obscene practice of the DOJ lobbying the public to support Bove for what is supposed to be an “independent” federal judge lifetime appointment, reminding everyone that Bove will be “Trump’s Judge” if confirmed this week.

Ghislaine Maxwell has filed a desperate plea to the Supreme Court, citing a decades-old non-prosecution agreement with Florida prosecutors meant for Epstein. The show delves into her legal representation, notably connections to Alan Dershowitz, and critiques her claims as a stretch. The forecast suggests the Court may delay a decision to allow Trump room for a potential pardon. This could severely impact the many victims, raising serious ethical concerns about justice and accountability.

On a Trump Scandal-Du-Jour episode of the top ranked Legal AF podcast, Ben and Popok are back and expose: 1) the latest Epstein-Trump corruption scandal information as Trump beats a hasty retreat to Scotland to avoid more questioning; 2) Trump authorizing his top DOJ leader to give "queen for a day" immunity to a convicted girl sex trafficking ring; 3) Trump's latest scandal, this time involving his tariffs and phony "trade deals," 4) Federal Judges taking steps to find Trump's DOJ and officials in contempt, send them to jail, and/or to pull their bar licenses, and so much more in the defense of our democracy.

In a secret meeting between CBS and CBS News’ new owners and the Trump Administration , they promised Trump that they would effectively be the new Fox News propaganda outlet of them, running Trump approved ads, and putting Trump friendly news and programming on the air. And shocker — Trump’s FCC just approved the sale of CBS’ parent to a big Trump supporter’s son. Michael Popok takes a hard look at a new letter that reveals it all, and what it means for CBS and its viewership. You don’t want your MTV anymore. Thanks to Ground News!
