Trump isn’t just weaponizing the DOJ, he’s dome the same at the Treasury Department, and now a senior leader and huge Trump donor who has objected to massive spying by Treasury on the American people has quit, calling attention to the use of “Geographic Target Orders” by Treasury in violation of the 4th Amendment. Popok explains that the spying scandal coming to light may explain why Trump was so hot and bothered about “Somali fraud” during the SOTU.

Trump’s DOJ just screwed up again, making it almost impossible for them to indict Former Director of the FBI James Comey based on an indictment obtained from a non-Senate confirmed, disgraced, and now resigned Lindsey Halligan, based on a new position they just took in the Mar-a-Lago case before Judge Cannon about Jack Smith’s indictment and final report against Trump. Popok also explains why Trump ally DC US attorney Jeannine Pirro just folded and won’t seek an indictment for the second time against 6 members of Congress for telling the military to follow their oath, not illegal Trump orders, and why 5 other Trump critics haven’t been indicted yet either.

A battle is brewing between an angry Federal Judge in Philadelphia, the Third Circuit Court of appeals and the Trump Administration, that wants to deny that slavery existed in this country and white wash immutable facts that our founding fathers owned slaves and erase that fact from a tribute to George Washington’s slaves at a historic site in Philly dedicated to our nation’s founding. Popok reports on Judge Rufe second order in 48 hours compelling the Trump Administration to restore the site they defaced WITH A CROWBAR, as Trump runs to the Third Circuit hoping that he will get one of his former criminal defense lawyers as a judge on the case!

In breaking news, Judge Xinis, noting that the DOJ does not understand fundamental and basic law school concepts about how back dated orders work, has blocked the Trump ICE squad from capturing Kilmar Abrego Garcia again or removing him to Africa as punishment for him winning in court, finding that they are by their own admission more than 6 years late in trying to disappear him out of the country.

It’s a sad commentary when the DOJ admitting in a court filing that they have “only” violated 56 court orders in one federal district just since December, is a GOOD week for the DOJ. But the real story, as Popok reports, is the reason that DOJ official Jordan Fox is using some smarmy apologetic tone in her letter to a NJ federal judge. It’s because she is a close friend of Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer and now 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals judge Emil Bove, and she’s lobbying the judges to get them to vote her in as the US Attorney replacement for Alina Habba in NJ.

Karen Friedman Agnifilo and guest host Lisa Graves host the top-ranked law and politics podcast Legal AF and break down this week’s most explosive legal and political developments at the intersection of law and democracy. From Fulton County officials calling a search warrant affidavit blatantly unconstitutional and lacking probable cause after a referral by a previously sanctioned election denier, to a sweeping TRO from Judge Rufe confronting slavery whitewashing, KFA and Lisa explain how these rulings test the limits of prosecutorial power and historical truth. They also dive into due process showdowns before Judge Xinis in the Abrego Garcia matter and Judge Boesberg over the case of 137 disappeared men, and what those orders mean for executive accountability. Finally, they tackle the political and legal fallout from Melania Trump opening a new front in federal court involving journalist Michael Wolff and revelations about her residence, before previewing the Supreme Court of the United States term’s looming opinions on tariffs and other major cases.

Trump has taken secret meetings to try to orchestrate getting CNN into the hands of his buddies and Trump Supporters, the Ellison family, while at the same time firing the one person in his Administration who had the brass ones to stop the deal, just days after he said he would stay out of it and leave the decision of who gets Warner Brothers assets and CNN to the person he fired! Popok connects all the dots of what we are watching with Trump manipulating the Warner Brothers/CNN sale process for his own benefit.

In breaking news, the Trump Administration’s head of ICE continues to cover up for rogue killer ICE agents, by admitting in a new court filing that 2 ICE agents LIED under oath both in court filings and in court testimony about a fake attack they claimed happened by 2 men on the streets of Minnesota with the now infamous phony “shovel” and “broom” that led to ICE shooting one of them in the leg, but refusing to name the agents or remove them from the force. Michael Popok reports on Federal judges entering multiple rulings in favor of the 2 men in the last several hours to protect them from further Government abuse, as Kristie Noem’s leadership is called into question again for taking her eye off the ball, while allegedly having an affair with a Trump advisor.

In breaking news, Trump just had his head of the DOJ Antitrust division fired as she stood opposed to Trump on his buddy’s attempted acquisition of CNN and its parent company, and was also investigating all of the Tech companies that donated to Trump’s ballroom and inauguration, library, or all three. Michael Popok reports on the 11-month tenure of Abigail Slater, and Trump’s “tell” when he tipped off that she’d be fired during an interview last week.

Trump’s lawyers just made a major blunder, subjecting him to a deposition under oath about Jan6 and his role in leading the insurrection. Michael Popok explains how a Federal Judge’s order in Miami requiring that discovery go forward in Trump’s suit against the BBC for reporting on his insurrection leading the Ellipse Speech on Jan6, puts Trump under oath and perhaps forced to take the 5th Amendment.

Breaking, in a major set back to Trump’s depravedrmigrant removal plans, Chief Judge Boesberg won’t let Trump Administration tell him “to pound sand,” and finding that the Administration is only interested in continuing to violate the due process rights of 137 migrants “disappeared” to El Salvador and then Venezuela to avoid Federal Court oversight, has ordered that they be returned to the US on the “government dime” or otherwise allowed to file their petitions to obtain asylum.

"If Saturday Night Live was doing a skit, and showed a picture of Tom Homan smiling, the caption would read: "Here's a picture of Tom Homan watching an orphanage burn down." 👌🏻 Chef's kiss, Popok.

I can't help but wonder if all of these Trump loyalists will ever figure out that the man they're beholden to has been judged a liar by a majority of the country. Due to their association with him, their credibility has been destroyed too. I hope the benefits are worth the price they're paying, and will continue to pay, once Trump is gone.

Incredible coverage! Judge Kelly, a Trump appointee, upheld children’s rights and due process. Also worth checking https://thecourtdirect.com/how-many-supreme-court-justices-did-trump-appoint/ for context on his judicial impact.

I have no love for Speaker Johnson or the behavior of his party. He did, however. say something that seems to make sense, i.e., why should we continue subsidizing health insurance companies when what's really needed to reduce costs are structural changes to the insurance industry/system? Is that just a bunch of baloney? Will Reps really work to effectuate that change or are they so beholden to insurance companies that it's just talk?

Re: the Harvard research grants judge, hallelujah, she recognized that there's no nexus between the health research grants and anti-semitic speech.

I hope the public understands that the President has an unlimited amount of funding to play his political games, while cities (like L.A. and Washington, D.C.), have limited budgets and numerous laws they must follow to address crime and homelessness. I, for one, do not support a President who abuses the law and norms to manipulate voters. He and his DOJ are the biggest law-breakers in the U.S. using "emergencies" that don't exist to bend the law.

How about explaining how the Reagan Library ended up with an Air Force One? I'd like to be prepared to address the issue of how that transfer will differ from the proposed Trump transfer. Also, how about further explaining what constitutes an "emergency" situation that gives the President additional powers. The only one I remember under Biden was Covid, a worldwide pandemic (and legitimately an emergency).

I'm asking these question everywhere and would love an inforned answer (particularly from my Christian friends). What's going to happen to the human beings who are being put into these new deportation camps in our country and others? Will these humans ever get an opportunity to be heard? If in the U.S. illegally, how much time will they serve, i.e., will they ever be released? The questions go on and on re: the future of these humans.

I thought the Supreme Court ruled that all ICE detainees were to receive due process, but it seems like people are disappearing left and right Is there any evidence that the Trump Administration is complying with the due process ruling?

Also, would you talk about the plans Krasnov has for creating a SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND? It sounds like a way to hide any money he might steal from our government and our people.

Is it legal for Krasnov to be writing a letter to the Supreme Court?

Google Curtis YARVIN. This tech bro has a philosophy to turn the US into a techno state. These ideas have been very popular in the techbro world for some years. If you want to learn where musk and his minions got their anti-democratic ideas or if you are underestimating the depth and strength of the techbros takeover of America, research this fella.
