The Intersection with Michael Popok

Did Trump used his podcaster of choice, Miranda Devine, with the NY Post, to orchestrate the leak of a scathing report by insiders against FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, in order to fire them both? Popok looks at the long history of Trump using the NY Post for leaks, and why this one fits the bill, as the new report effectively demands Patel's firing before he appears again before the Congressional Judiciary Committees for questioning.

In breaking news, a unanimous Third Circuit Court of Appeals has fired Alina Habba as the NJ US Attorney, finding that she was illegally and unconstitutionally appointed. Popok explains how last week's order upholding Habba's $1million federal court sanction for an earlier Trump case by another appeals court didn't help matters, as the Supreme Court's support for Trump will now be tested in a likely emergency appeal.

The American Revolution (the documentary) is on Popok’s mind, along with “Common Sense” as he uses 4 new law and politics developments to explain how we are in our “King George” moment and patriots must respond. On the Intersection Podcast, Popok dives deep into what the firing of Lindsey Halligan by a Federal Judge means and what will happen in the next 72 hours that should set your hair on fire. Then he turns to a brand new federal court order that the Trump DOJ and FBI must IMMEDIATELY turn over all communication between Trump and Epstein without further delay, and whether Judge Chutkan’s battle with Trump will turn out better this time. Judge Boasberg revives his criminal contempt proceedings against the Trump Administration and DOJ which threatens to have Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer and now Fed Appellate Court Judge Emil Bove found in criminal contempt. Rep Eric Swalwell fires the first salvo suing Trump’s attack dog Bill Pulte for his phony mortgage fraud charges and investigation first, winning that all important race to the courthouse. Finally, Popok explains why Former DOJ veteran Joe Schnitt sues to get his old DOJ job back after being fired for telling a dating app “undercover” the truth about Trump and the Epstein Files and coverup and getting fired for it.

The new polling numbers after the Election Night wipeout for Trump are in, and they are a disaster for MAGA and him, with 76 percent of Independents (who had supported him in 2024), declaring him "unfavorable". Popok explores Trump's very public losing his grip on his sanity and power, as Americans reject overwhelming a heartless president who has no compassion for them economically, and who supports crushing the poor, and covering up for child sex traffickers.

In breaking news, Trump's DOJ and his novice prosecutor Lindsey Halligan in a new late night filing, effectively admit fatal "errors" in how Halligan had the Former FBI Director James Comey "edited" after the Grand Jury left for the day by a "coordinator", that there was no required transcript of her interaction with grand jurors, and that the purported indictment was never seen by the grand jury to vote on it. Popok dissects the new legal brief and explains how even Halligan and the DOJ know they will likely be on the losing end of the case, with the indictment likely to be dismissed and for good by Judge Nachmanoff.

In breaking news, Chief Judge Boesberg has announced that he will move forward with developing evidence to determine if the Trump Administration is in contempt for violating his orders in March to stop flying planes to El Salvador to avoid federal court jurisdiction and due process rights of 200 men. Popok explains that the key witness for the Judge will be Erez Reveni, a former DOJ prosecutor and whistleblower who claims that the DOJ told him to lie to federal judges about the removal process under the Alien Enemies Act.

Two novice prosecutors, one named Lindsey Halligan were roasted alive by a federal judge, as one had to admit that the James Comey Indictment was fraudulently obtained from the grand jury, and the other had to admit the existence of a secret memo that the DOJ doesn't want the judge or defense to read, that will create "reasonable doubt" in the jury's mind about Comey's fake crimes. All Rise News' Adam Klasfeld reports live from the Comey courthouse today about what he learned from being in the room, when he joins Popok to debrief our audience.

In breaking news, Linsdey Halligan ended up being a witness for the DEFENSE, as a federal judge grilled her in open court to admit that the Comey grand jury she used NEVER saw the second indictment agains them they allegedly "signed," as the other DOJ lawyer had to admit that there was a DOJ memo recommending no indictment of Comey that he was instructed by Todd Blanche in Washington to not reveal to the Judge! Popok explains how these facts will be used by the Judge to dismiss the indictment AND find that Comey can't be indicted again, so game over for the DOJ and Trump.

In a head scratching new "emergency motion" replete with typos, the Trump DOJ IGNORES the fact that a federal judge found that AG Pam Bondi and her US Attorney Lindsey Halligan may have lied in a court filing about the Former FBI Director Comey grand jury process, AND that Halligan likely violated not one but TWO constitutional principles when presenting the case to the Grand Jury, and instead focus on an unrelated issue to try to stop the immediate release to the defense of the grand jury materials. Popok explains what happens next with the District Court judge and why Halligan and Trump are likely to lose and quickly.

Don't believe a word Trump posts on social media. He has no intention of actually having the Epstein Files see the light of day. Sure he gave permission to House Republicans to save themselves to vote for their release today on Capitol Hill, but the Senate will slow the bill down long enough for AG Pam Bondi to stand at a podium and announce that there is an "active" criminal investigation against only the Democrats and Epstein, to block the files release all over again. Popok provides a "viewer guide" to today's vote.

Fresh off the heals of a Federal Magistrate Judge finding prosecutorial abuse of power in the Former FBI Dir. Comey case in the grand jury and subpoena process, NY AG Tish James has filed within hours of that ruling, her own Motion to Dismiss the indictment citing primarily the "outrageous" abusive conduct of Trump, Bondi, Lindsey Halligan, Ed Martin and Fannie Mae's Director Bill Pulte. Popok drills down on the damning allegations against Halligan and Martin, who in another galaxy not so far away, could lose their bar licenses and be prosecuted themselves.

In breaking news, a federal magistrate judge just ruled that Trump's US Attorney Lindsey Halligan and Attorney General Pam Bondi may have lied in a recent filing to save Halligan's job. Popok reports on the new Order finding that Halligan not only committed fundamental constitutional error in presenting her FIRST indictment ever to a grand jury, but that she may lied about the missing grand jury minutes also to another federal judge.

You know the Trump Administration is back in business because they are already firing whistleblowers that went to the press to decry his starving Americans by denying those below the poverty line their anti-hunger monthly food allowance.

If Trump thought that keeping the Government shut would make voters forget that he's embroiled in a coverup at the highest levels of the Epstein child sex trafficking ring, he's in for a rude awakening. Old social media posts of JD Vance long forgot have surfaced; new reporting that MAGA House members have been briefed by the DOJ that the Epstein files are worse for Trump than first imagined; and then 3 new long lost emails surfaced putting a lie to everything Trump has tried to cover about his Epstein relationship. Popok is joined by the leading Gen Z commentator Adam Mockler to bring it all into sharp focus.

No one in the DOJ wants to tangle with James Comey's daughter career prosecutor Maureen Comey, and not one US Attorneys' Office or unit of the DOJ in DC has appeared in court to represent the DOJ in her suit for wrongful firing and to be reinstated. Popok reports that Judge Furman is not happy, and has ordered that the DOJ get its act together soon and get an attorney assigned to the case, and that there is a link again to the Epstein coverup scandal hiding in plain sight!

The Trump Administration isn't content with just starving Americans to death by cutting off their food funding, they have raced to the 7th Circuit Appeals Court for permission to beat them too, and use unreasonable force against First Amendment protestors, journalists, veterans, and clergyman, including tackling them, hitting them with their cars, and firing tear gas and pepper balls at them.

In breaking news, a second federal judge, following the lead of Chief Judge McConnel, has issued a new restraining order blocking the Trump Administration from clawing back the $5 billion in SNAP anti hunger payments they made to 1 in 8 Americans who live below the poverty line, at the same time that the First Circuit blocked Trump from refusing to pay hungry Americans the rest of the money he owes them, all according to the plan set in motion by Justice Jackson, who is requiring the Trump Admin to tell the Supreme Court tonight why they need to starve Americans while the Government remains shut down.
