Trump TAPS OUT after Federal Court LOSS
Trump went from being “judgment difficult” to “judgment easy” in just the last few days. E Jean Carroll used to have a problem on how she would find Trump’s assets hidden among his trust and 50+ companies with his name on it, to make him pay her the $83.5 million he owes her. But Michael Popok explains how the problem was just solved by Trump being forced to immediately post a $96 million dollar bond backed by an insurance company on favorable terms to E Jean Carroll.Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!

Trump GIVES UP Bond Fight AND KEEPS LOSING
Meidas Touch co-founder Ben Meiselas and trial attorney Michael Popok are back with a new episode of the weekend edition of the top rated Legal AF podcast. On this episode, they debate/discuss: who Trump has gotten into bed with to post his $91 million dollar E Jean Carroll appellate bond and how he will raise the $600 million more needed to stop the NYAG’s enforcement of its judgment against him; whether Alina Habba has been permanently sidelined by Trump and others because of her consistent track record of losing his cases; whether a Trump co-conspirator’s lawyer in Georgia has her own ethics problem for agreeing to testify to the Georgia Senate about the pending Fulton County DA Fani Willis disqualification matter and criminal case; the Supreme Court’s upcoming oral arguments on two cases that impact Trump’s continued prosecution; Judge Cannon’s peculiar rulings in the Mar a Lago criminal prosecution against Trump leading up to next week’s motion to dismiss the indictment hearing, and so much more from the intersection of law, politics and justice.DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS!Aura Frames: Visit https://Auraframes.com/LegalAF and get $30 off their best-selling frames with promo code LEGALAFBeam: Get up to 40% off for a limited time when you go to https://shopbeam.com/LEGALAF and use code LEGALAF at checkout!Moink: Sign up at https://MoinkBox.com/LEGALAF and get FREE ground beef for a YEARRocket Money: Cancel unwanted subscriptions – and manage your expenses the easy way – by going to https://RocketMoney.com/legalafSUPPORT THE SHOW:Shop NEW LEGAL AF Merch at: https://store.meidastouch.comJoin us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/meidastouchRemember 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-fpwellmanUncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncovered Learn more about your ad choices.

CORRUPT Judge GIVES SURPRISING HINT about Her Ruling

Trump’s LAST DAY for Bond, Manhattan DA is READY
Defense attorney Michael Popok & former prosecutor Karen Friedman Agnifilo are back with a new episode of the midweek edition of the Legal AF pod. On this episode, they debate: whether the Supreme Court played politics in ruling for Trump in the insurrectionist ballot case and what it means for their next big decision on whether Trump has immunity; whether the Manhattan DA will call the convicted perjurer Allen Weisselberg, Trump’s former chief financial officer and henchman, at the Stormy Daniels hush money business record fraud case; how Trump will be able to raise the $600 million necessary to stop the enforcement of 2 civil judgments against him; whether 1400 text messages just disclosed in a civil suit will prove to be Trump election lawyer Ken Chesebro’s and Trump’s undoing, and so much more at the intersection of law, politics and justice.

PATHETIC GOP Cause MAJOR CRISIS over Top Secret Info
