Michael Popok of Legal AF who has conducted similar investigations in private practice explains why Hur’s questioning of the President was out of bounds.Go to https://CozyEarth.com/legalaf and enter our promo code LEGALAF at checkout for up to thirty-five percent off!Visit https://meidastouch.com for more!Remember 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.

Attorney General Merrick Garland misapplied the Special Counsel laws and never should have released the Hur Report including the gratuitous attacks on President Biden.

Trial attorneys Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok are back with a new episode of the weekend edition of the LegalAF podcast. On this episode, they debate/discuss: what we can expect from the Supreme Court based on this week’s oral argument as to whether the Court will apply the 14th Amendment/Article 3 and ban Trump from the ballot and whether there is a “Grand Bargain” at foot to keep him on the ballot, but have the Supreme Court find that he does not have immunity from criminal prosecution; whether Judge Engoron will make an ethics and bar referral against Trump attorneys lead by Alina Habba arising out of Alan Weisselberg’s testimony in the NY Civil Fraud case, and how will the lawyers’ conduct and that of the witness impact the Court’s expected up to $500 million dollar judgment which could come as early as next week; whether the Supreme Court will allow Trump to appeal the DC Court of Appeals unanimous ruling that no president, including Trump, is above the criminal law, or just leave undisturbed the DC Court’s ruling that the DC Election Interference case should be tried before the election; the likelihood that Special Counsel Jack Smith will take Judge Cannon up on appeal and seek her removal based on her most recent misapplication of the law; the propriety of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report clearing Biden and electing not to prosecute him, while attacking him personally, and so much more from the intersection of law, politics and justice.DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS!Rhone: Head to https://Rhone.com/LEGALAF and use code LEGALAF to save 20% off your entire order!Armra: Head to https://tryarmra.com/legalaf or enter promo code LEGALAF to receive 15% off your first order!Miracle Made: Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!
