Legal AF by MeidasTouch

Well, is Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s pick to be Director of National Intelligence a turned Russian asset, or not? the fact that we have to ask that question should be a disqualifier, but here we are. Michael Popok closely examines Gabbard’s ties to Russia and Syria, and why leaders are saying out loud that she’s owned by the Russians.

Putin had Russian TV on its most-watched channel run semi-nude photos of Melania Trump a day or two after Trump and Musk called Putin to warn him not to escalate the war with Ukraine, a call Putin also denied ever happened. Michael Popok explores what Putin’s direct trolling of Trump means for Trump’s ability to end the war as promised, and what the strange relationship between Trump and Melania means for the rest of us.Head to https://ollie.com and use promo code: LEGALAF to receive 60% OFF your FIRST BOX of meals when you subscribe today!Join the LegalAF Patreon: https://Patreon.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-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-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump just declared that he will call a phony “war” to justify a “national emergency” to invoke the Alien Enemies Act to begin the mass deportations of 11 million people using the military, approved by his DOD pick Pete Hegseth, on domestic soil to conduct mass raids and incarcerations. Michael Popok explains that Trump’s abuse of power will need to be challenged immediately in the Courts and the Senate will have to ensure that no phony “war” is declared to enable a power mad Trump from acting.Protect your home with 50% off a new SimpliSafe system, plus a free indoor security camera, when you sign up for Fast Protect Monitoring.

Trump has fired the FBI not allowing them to do any background checks on his cabinet and administration picks, and he plans to order that national security clearance be given to people who are compromised ethically, criminally, financially, or have drug addictions. Michael Popok details how the Senate needs to oppose Tulsi Gabbard (possible ties to Russia); RFK Jr (drug addiction); Gaetz (possible sex trafficking and drugs) and Hegseth (possible sex assault); and force Trump to withdraw them or put them through full FBI vetting for the American people to see.

We have a 10 Commandment fight that has broken out in the Bible Belt, and a victory — although likely short term — for religious freedom. Michael Popok breaks down a new emergency order from an Louisiana Federal Judge blocking the MAGA Louisiana Governor and Legislature from compelling that every public class room display a giant 10 Commandment poster, and why Justice Alito — an arch conservative Christian — will likely overturn it on the way to the Supreme Court.Ollie: Head to https://ollie.com and use promo code: LEGALAF to receive 60% OFF your FIRST BOX of meals when you subscribe today!Join the LegalAF Patreon: https://Patreon.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-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-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

Biden can’t get the last of his 40+ federal judges confirmed without the votes of 2 republicans: Senator Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, because Joe Manchin of W Virginia says so.

Trump will form a “warrior board” led by his puppet of Defense Secretary to purge the military of 3 and 4-star generals and replace them with junior officers he believes are loyal to him and his idea of a MAGA Army. But the Democrats in Congress, though outnumbered, have a way through the budget and debt ceiling and appropriation negotiations to force Trump to back off, if they have the political courage. Michael Popok examines the plan to compromise our National Security and the hallowing out of our military, making us less safe, and how the Democrats in the House need to be prepared to shut down the government over this unprecedented abuse of power.Zbiotics: Head to https://zbiotics.com/LegalAF to get 15% off your first order when you use LEGALAF at checkout.Join the LegalAF Patreon: https://Patreon.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-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-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

The Hunter has become the Hunted, with Special Counsel Jack Smith racing to finish his Final Report detailing the criminal investigation and evidence against Trump in time to have AG Merrick Garland publish it to the American People before January 20th, as MAGA thinks about running into Court to get the Supreme Court to stop its publication.
