The Intersection with Michael Popok

As the Supreme Court's MAGA leader Clarence Thomas makes the eyepopping confession that he doesn't follow court precedent to make his decisions (?!?), lower courts are punching back by refusing to apply the Supreme Court's prior emergency docket rulings to their cases, and taking steps to find the Trump Administration in contempt instead. Popok takes a close look at a new order from Republican Federal Judge Lamberth who goes after Trump enabler Kari Lake in ruling to block further dismantling of the Voice of America, and calls out the Supreme Court while he does it. it's a Tuesday Two-Fer!

Right wing and conservative Federalist Society scholars are turning on Trump, and now question whether Lindsey Halligan was properly appointed at all, and if she wan't, then the Former FBI Director Comey indictment would be invalid for that reason alone! Popok argues on his latest Hot Take, that Trump pushing his hand picked novice prosecutor to go after Comey will make him the poster child of vindictive prosecution and how to send Trump (and Halligan) to a crushing defeat.

In the average of 10 different polls post-Charlie Kirk's demise and Trump's handling of it and the Comey indictment, Trump's approval rating is about 39% lowest in modern history, as he has been resoundingly rejected by the voters on immigration, the economy and jobs, trade, inflation and healthcare. Popok reports and what this means with the upcoming Government shutdown.

The countdown now officially begins as Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook files the brief of her life to save her job and the independence of the federal reserve, along with a brief from 32 Republican and Democratic economic officials including every living Fed Reserve Chair in support of her and against firing her. Popok looks at the legal arguments and explains why even this MAGA supreme court should rule that Cook was denied due process and keep her in her job.

The corruption of Trump's DOJ is limitless, as Trump appoints his former low level criminal defense lawyer, Lindsey Halligan, to be the chief prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia US Attorneys office, presumably for the sole purpose of going after and indicting his political rivals. Popok reports on a new scandal that has broken, in which FBI Director Comey may be indicted before Tuesday to avoid a statute of limitations problem, by Halligan at Trump's direction.

Trump's erratic about face to try to do a last minute embrace of Ukraine against Russia has been met with ridicule by Russia who by now ignores Trump's demented, irrational positions and seeing no real US opposition, moves forward with killing Ukrainians.

The only way the Trump DOJ could win a conviction against Trump's would be assassin Ryan Routh today was because he represented himself, had no lawyer to help him put on an insanity defense, and still AG Bondi took credit for it as an example of "prosecuting political violence." Popok explains that Routh once told Judge Cannon that he wanted to resolve the prosecution by having a golf match to the death with Trump, with female strippers presiding over it, and if he lost, Trump could put him to death by firing squad.

According to a new federal court filing in Trump’s defamation case against the Wall Street Journal in Miami, Rupert Murdoch’s paper argues that not only is the Trump–Epstein birthday card story accurate, but that Trump’s reputation for making sexist, vulgar, and disgusting comments about women — including Ivanka — is so notorious that it cannot be defamed. Popok reports on the filing and shares a theory that any settlement of the case could involve Murdoch paying money to buy into TikTok as part of the resolution.

Trump has caused a new "crypto winter" of crashing crypto currency prices as investors reject his phony "Golden Age of Crypto" policies, and hammer his family crypto currency businesses. Popok looks at how Trump attacking one of his main early investors in his company,, a Chinese Cryto Billionaire named Justin Sun, has sent Trump's crypto business into a tailspin.

Just before Trump breached all Presidential protocol by taking the stage to lionize Charlie Kirk, he took time out to publicly reprimand and embarrass Attorney General Pam Bondi not once but twice in social media posts and then overrode her to pick yet another criminally unqualified US Attorney over Bondi's objection.

A Republican appointed Federal Judge in Trump's hand picked Florida federal court took one look at his bad faith mess of a defamation case filed against the New York Times, that he dismissed it ON HIS OWN without the need for the Times to file anything, and inviting the NYT to file a motion for Rule 11 sanctions against Trump and his counsel.

Popok explains how a series of prosecutors who have stood up to Trump and refuse to violate their professional ethics or the DOJ Manual and Principles of Federal Prosecution to commit the sin of "vindictive prosecution" and how Ms. James (and the other Democratic leaders under attack) can use the firing to their advantage in Federal Court.
