The existence of a secret internal DOJ memo about Tom Homan being the target of a bribe sting operation surfaces. Old emails between the DOJ in DC and local prosecutors are revealed today, which suggest that the DOJ may have lied to a federal judge. The Trump Administration claimed that the Federal Reserve is BROKE, in order to avoid a federal judges injunction not to destroy a federal consumer protection bureau; Chief Judge Boesberg continues to doggedly pursue the lawless Trump Administration. And defense lawyers have figured out how to call out Trump’s use of his favorite judge, Aileen Cannon, to go after his political enemies: Write a letter to the chief judge and call out the corruption.

A federal judge is not pleased with Trump’s ballroom but may have to wait longer to do something about it. A federal judge is not pleased with the DOJ, and does something about it. Trump’s Chief of Staff isn’t pleased with a lot of people in the Administration, and does something about it. Trump pulls the plug on fighting over his phony US Attorneys. Another bad news cycle, another phony defamation case filing for Trump. All at the Intersection with host Michael Popok only on the Meidas Touch Network.

Trump, knowing he is likely to lose at the Supreme Court and have to pay back $100 billion in collected tariffs because they are unconstitutional taxes on the American people, has panicked and ordered that all the billions collected from AMERICAN COMPANIES not foreign countries, be quickly stashed away in the Federal Treasury to make any future refund order by the Supreme Court hard if not impossible. In response more than 100 US companies have filed suit against the Trump Administration to stop it. Popok reports.

In breaking news, Popok reports on a new emergency filing by the Trump DOJ in an effort to have Chief Judge Boesberg kicked off the case of whether the DOJ and Kristi Noem committed criminal contempt warranting jail time.

A Chief Federal Judge is trying to determine today whether not only should he refer Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem for criminal prosecution for contempt, but whether DOJ Attorneys should be prosecuted too. In a new filing, the question is raised whether DOJ Attorneys participated in a crime or fraud with Noem that would strip her of her attorney client privilege and force her to testify and leave her defenseless to a criminal contempt referral for prosecution. Popok explains why the Judge should deny today the DOJ's motion to reconsider his order setting a contempt hearing for Monday and what will happen next.

In a brand new filing, Trump's DOJ admits that the statute of limitations has run on their criminal charges against James Comey, and that they will try to argue that Lindsey Halligan as US Attorney was only a technical defect and they have another 6 months to indict Comey.

The Trump DOJ, gurgling under dozens of losses in the last 30 days, has adopted a new tactic: Just openly defying Federal Court orders, failing to file on time, or at all, failing to appear in court, and refusing to abide by court orders. Popok examines two such cases in the last 24 hours, and how Federal Judges will bring the rogue DOJ to heal.
