Legal AF Full Episode - 8/9/2025
The most corrupt and criminal Presidency is using the most corrupt DOJ created in its image to try to destroy the Democratic Party, state, federal and local, and distract from Trump failing the American people. Ben and Popok are back on the top-rated Legal AF podcast to call out the corruption and examine: 1) the "secret" White House meeting of the corrupt DOJ/FBI and the White House in furtherance of the Epstein scandal coverup; 2) Trump's depraved efforts to deny birthright citizenship suffering a 4th blow with a new federal court injunction with no Supreme Court "emergency appeal" to bail him out in sight; 3) Trump conspiring against a sitting US Senator and New York Attorney General to have his DOJ open phony criminal investigations against his main political rivals, 4) Texas Democrats fight back to stop the elimination of Democratic house seats; and so much more in the defense of our democracy.

Trump Secret Deal with Ghislaine Surfaces
The podcast dives into Ghislaine Maxwell's impending release of deposition tapes, suggesting they might paint a favorable picture for Trump. It explores the troubling dynamics of Maxwell potentially receiving a slow-motion pardon. Michael Popok dissects the relationships among key legal figures and how they influence Maxwell's strategy. There are critical discussions on the implications of her prison transfer and the nature of the released media. The dialogue emphasizes Maxwell's pursuit of immunity, rather than innocence, while firmly rejecting any sympathy for her past actions.

Trump Sets Trap His Own DOJ Will Bury Itself In
In going after Democratic icons and leaders like President Obama and his intelligence team on phony “election interference” charges, Pam Bondi and Trump’s DOJ are violating the DOJ Manual in starting criminal investigations and opening grand jury probes without a good faith and reasonable basis to believe there is evidence to support to conviction beyond a reasonable doubt. Michael Popok explains how future lawsuits may be able to stop Bondi in her tracks.

Trump Plan Shut Down by Federal Judge in Florida?!?
Michael Popok looks at the ways the Trump Administration is trying to normalize and render harmless and childish, the use of concentration camps to house human beings, by giving them cartoonish cutesy names like Alligator Alcatraz and Speedway Slammer, while targeting hard working immigrants along the way. Popok also updates our audience on a new Federal Court ruling stopping the further construction of the Everglades, Florida ICE detention center as well.

Legal AF Full Epsiode - 8/6/2025
On a special Legal AF podcast, intrepid journalist Katie Phang joins her long time friend and colleague Michael Popok to sub in for KFA, to tear down the hypocrisy about 1) the new not so secret White House meeting with the DOJ tonight to figure out if they should pardon a convicted child sex trafficker and abuser in the name of saving Trump; 2) as another MAGA leader and Trump associate is accused of sex harassment and revenge porn; 3) the Texas new congressional map fight; 4) Trump wrapping his hands around Big Balls—a 19 year old DOGE staffer who was allegedly car jacked in DC; as an excuse to attack people of color and DC’s sovereignty; and so much more in the defense of our democracy.

Trump Instantly Folds in Case Against Murdoch
Trump has backed down from demanding Rupert Murdoch’s immediate deposition in a defamation case, likely due to threats of sanctions from Murdoch's team. The Wall Street Journal's controversial report linked Trump to Epstein, raising questions about freedom of the press. Legal strategies are scrutinized, including Trump's risky tactics and the unusual choice of Miami as the filing venue. The chances of the Journal’s motion to dismiss appear favorable, putting Trump in a potentially vulnerable position as the case unfolds.

Texas Dems Respond to GOP Arrest Warrants
50 Texas Democratic lawmakers who left Texas for Illinois to prevent the Texas House from approving unconstitutional redistricting maps that eliminate 5 Federal House dems seats, are beating Texas MAGA at their own game. Michael Popok explains why this “quorum breaking” move is legal under Texas law; why the arrest warrants issued by Texas won’t reach into Illinois; and how this tactic could likely lead to the bad maps being pulled off the table.

Trump Hit with Instant Karma for Awful Plan
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.
