Trump BEGS for SECOND CHANCE after Jack HUMILIATES HIM
Did Donald Trump miss his deadline by more than a year to file a motion to dismiss the Special Counsel in the DC Election Interference case? Jack Smith sure thinks so, and just told Judge Chutkan that Trump committed two cardinal litigation sins: waiving a defense, and blowing a court ordered deadline and has demanded that she deny Trump's motion immediately. Popok is @ The Intersection and predicts she will do just that.Protect your home with 50% off a new SimpliSafe system, plus a free indoor security camera, when you sign up for Fast Protect Monitoring.

Supreme Court REVEALS their PLAN right before ELECTION
In breaking news, the United States Supreme Court has allowed a purge of voter roles under the guise of deleting noncitizens, but which a federal judge found included United States citizens who are authorized to vote in Virginia. Michael Popok calls out the right-wing Supreme Court for interfering with votes so close to the election.Get 30% off any subscription or one-time purchase of Create 90-count bags at https://TRYCREATE.COM/LEGALAFJoin 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 PANICS Over Prosecution as Election GETS REAL
In breaking news, Trump just filed his latest brief attempting to avoid criminal prosecution in the Mar a Lago obstruction and espionage case, arguing that Judge Aileen Cannon — who he just publicly offered a job to be his likely Attorney General—was right to dismiss the case, based on: (1) the reasoning of justice Clarence Thomas, (2) an indicted former attorney general, and (3) a stray comment made by President Biden in the last 2 days. Popok explains the “Cannon” defect and why Trump should lose the appeal.

Trump LEGAL MESS Gets WORSE as Election CLOSES IN
Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo host the midweek edition of the top-rated Legal AF podcast. On tap? 1. Comparing the "closing arguments" of VP Harris and Donald Trump, comparing the hate filled Madison Square Garden "rally" with the hopeful message of the Ellipse speach; 2. the Supreme Court sticks their nose into this year's election and voting rights again; 3. Judge Cannon refuses to disqualify herself from a Trump related case despite being offered a job as his Attorney General and what it means for the Mar a Lago criminal case against Trump in the future; 4. Justice is served two ways -- Steve Bannon is facing 5-10 years for money laundering and conspiracy in a NY courthouse on 12/8 for crimes that even Trump can't pardon; and Paul Pelosi's attacker gets life in prison; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.Subscribe to the new Legal AF channel: https://www.youtube.com/@LegalAFMTNSubscribe to Meidas+ at https://meidasplus.comThanks to our sponsors:Mack Weldon: 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 LEGALAFRocket Money: Cancel unwanted subscriptions – and manage your expenses the easy way – by going to https://RocketMoney.com/legalafSmalls: Head to https://Smalls.com/LEGALAF and use promo code: LEGALAF at checkout for 50% off your first order PLUS free shipping!VIIA: Try VIIA Hemp! https://bit.ly/viialegalaf and use code LEGALAF!OneSkin: Get started today at https://OneSkin.co and receive 15% Off using code: 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 Accomplice THROWN right BACK INTO Criminal Case
Steve Bannon the MAGA podcaster and Trump enabler may be getting out of jail a week early on his federal contempt of Congress charges, but it’s just in time to start a new New York State criminal trial in 60 days where he faces 10 to 20 years in prison for his role and operating a fraudulent “build the wall” charity. Michael Popok explains why Bannon will likely go to jail for a long time and Trump can’t do a darn thing about it.Find out how you can get a free 30-day supply on bundles of new SuperBeets Heart Chews Advanced and save 15% for a limited time only by going to https://GETSUPERBEETS.COM, promo code LEGALAFJoin 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.

SECRET Trump TRANSCRIPT Gets UNSEALED at last
In a newly released secret transcript, the Chief Judge of the DC Courts warned that Trump would seek to delay his criminal prosecutions in order to use the election and campaign as an excuse.

Trump Gets NEWS HE FEARED from Nikki Haley
Rep Governor and former Trump primary opponent Nikki Haley went on Fox News to effectively endorse Kamala over Trump to try to deliver her 4 million voters to VP Harris. Michael Popok takes a look at her interview critical of Trump, his attack on women and women voters and his campaign’s related PAC’s calling VP Harris the C word—the final straw to get Haley off the sidelines to criticize Trump.

Trump LIES to Judge in Criminal Case TO DO THIS on Election…
The irony of Donald Trump’s lawyers, misleading Judge Chutkan, and claiming they need more time to file their papers in the DC election because of Hurricane Milton, is not lost on Michael Popok. Is the reason that they want more time because the lawyers want to focus on denying Kamala Harris her election victory on November 5? Popok takes a look.Sugar to Fiber: Go to https://zbiotics.com/LEGALAF to get 15% OFF any Zbiotics Probiotic when you use promo code: 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.

Judge Cannon Makes STUNNING ADMISSION about Trump DEALS
Judge Cannon just acknowledged in a new order that she knows “from the media” that Trump offered her a “promotion” to Attorney General during the pendency of his criminal case, but refused to deny that she has been in contact with Trump’s transition team or proxies of him, as she denied an effort recuse/disqualify herself from a case related to Trump. Michael Popok reports on the curious way that Judge Cannon recited the “facts” about the job offer and her “communication” with Trump’s people, and why this should lead the 11th Circuit to remove immediately from all things Trump to restore public confidence in our judicial system.Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!

Trump GETS NERVOUS and SCREWS HIMSELF in Last Days
Did Donald Trump just seal his electoral chances in Pennsylvania shut by calling Latins and Puerto Ricans garbage that doesn’t practice proper birth control, at his racist Madison Square Garden rally yesterday? Michael Popok takes a look at the 600,000 majority Puerto Rican Americans who are or are about to vote in Pennsylvania, as Kamala Harris simultaneously counter programs by meeting with the Hispanic community to present her plan to rebuild the Puerto Rican economy and lift up its people.Get up to 40% off for a limited time when you go to https://shopbeam.com/LEGALAF and use code 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.
