Trump Files EMERGENCY NOTICE in NY Criminal Case
In breaking news, Trump, coordinating with MAGA Congress, is trying to stop his inevitable criminal sentencing on his 34-count state court felony conviction for fraud and election interference, by trying for a second time to drag his case away from Judge Juan Merchan and to federal court. Michael Popok explains it all and why this post-conviction pre-sentencing maneuver is doomed to fail.

Justice Department STRIKES BACK at Trump’s Foot Soldiers
Well, that didn’t take long. Disgraced MAGA DOJ official Jeff Clark—Trump’s “acting attorney general” for the last days of the attempted coup, has argued that his bar license should not be suspended because he was dropped from the new criminal indictment of Trump in the DC election interference case, as he hits out against the Special Counsel. Michael Popok explains that Clark’s ethics violations at the heart of the DC Bar’s license suspension recommendation does not require that a crime be committed.

Jack Smith SHOCKS Trump with BRILLIANT Maneuver
Corporate media has it wrong: in the Trump DC election interference criminal case, the Special Counsel Jack Smith will NOT need to use a “mini trial” to defend his indictment against dismissal, and that’s NOT A WIN FOR TRUMP. Michael Popok who practices federal criminal law explains how Smith made his indictment MAGA Supreme Court-proof, and would never want to turn his trial playbook over to Trump before the real trial.

FINALLY! Jack Smith Makes BIG FILING in Trump DOC APPEAL
In breaking news in the Mar a Lago prosecution of Trump, Special Counsel Jack Smith schools Federal Judge Cannon in a new filing with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, telling the Court that the Judge does not understand the most basic principle of being a federal judge— that the Supreme Court is her boss, and their rulings are BINDING ON HER, to have the Mar a Lago prosecution reinstated. Michael Popok also explains why Special Counsel Smith, smartly, has not overtly pressured the 11th Circuit to remove Cannon, leaving it to the judgment of the Court instead, showing true independence without playing politicsGo to http://auraframes.com and use code LEGALAF to get $20 off Aura's best-selling frameVisit https://meidastouch.com for more!Join the Legal AF 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.
