VIOLENT Criminal Pardoned by Trump INSTANTLY ARRESTED Again
A Jan6 defendant charged with 12 felony counts, including throwing a bomb at 25 law enforcement, was pardoned by Trump, and then 24 hours later, picked up by Trump’s own DOJ in Florida, on an arrest warrant for another felony of possessing a gun while a felon. Michael Popok takes a deep look into Trump’s pardon “process” (“F’ it give them all pardons”) and the depravity of absolving those who beat law enforcement.Get up to 40% off for a limited time when you go to https://shopbeam.com/LEGALAF and use code LEGALAF at checkout!Remember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts:MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcastLegal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-afMissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trialThe 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-beatdownOn Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellmanUncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

Federal Judges BREAK SILENCE and CRUSH Trump
Federal Judges, following in the footsteps of our clergy leaders and foreign politicians, have broken their silence and rebuked Trump and MAGA’ s attempts to whitewash what happened on Jan6th, by castigating Trump’s pardons and telling the truth about what the evidence proved in their courtrooms, as they refuse to quietly dismiss pending cases. Michael Popok explains the power of a federal judge to oppose Trump’s pardons in their own ways, including leaving open the door to have them re-indicted by a Democratic DOJ in the future.Miracle Made: Go to https://TryMiracle.com/LEGALAF and use the code LEGALAF to claim your FREE 3-PIECE TOWEL SET and SAVE over 40% OFF.Remember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts:MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcastLegal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-afMissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trialThe 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-beatdownOn Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellmanUncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump SLAPPED with MASSIVE LAWSUIT over Executive Order
A group of 12 plaintiffs have joined together to file a new federal lawsuit against Trump’s depraved and unconstitutional attack by executive order on newborns and children by declaring those born in this country to parents from another country, “not American”. Michael Popok drills down on the new lawsuit filed in New Hampshire federal court led by the ACLU and NAACP and the Indonesian community, seeking to block the executive order, and how this case will end up at the US Supreme Court in the coming weeks.Get 10% off plus free shipping of your estate plan documents by visiting https://trustandwill.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-afMissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trialThe 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-beatdownOn Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellmanUncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump Day 1 Legal Move is MOST HEINOUS Yet
On his first day back in office, Trump has raised a middle finger to our justice system he swore to uphold, and opened the prison cells to release all of the Jan6 insurrectionists, including those charged with the attempted Violent Overthrow of the Government, and those who used weapons and brute force to maim and kill law enforcement. Michael Popok makes the historical comparison between Biden’s pardons and Trump’s and offers how the Democrats need to use Trump’s choice of violent criminal supporters of his over democracy and law and order, against him at the midterms, as his voters wake up to find he did exactly what they did not want him to do and release the Jan6 criminals.Go to http://mackweldon.com/?utm_source=streaming&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=podcastlaunch&utm_content=LEGALAFutm_term=LEGALAF and get 20% off your first order with promo code LEGALAFVisit https://meidastouch.com for more!
