Join as they break down how the current Trump Administration coordinated attacks on the Democratic-controlled Congress will likely end up at the Supreme Court; how the far right of the Court are using public appearances to try to fend off Court reform and keep their jobs and stop impeachment, and what the Voters are demanding since Election Night in America.

Notes de l’épisode
Popok reports on the curios position of the Department of Justice in a new filing today, in which it : (a) ignored the Judge’s order to comment on who she wants to appoint as a Special Master to investigate ethical violations she believes happened in her courtroom; (b) attacked the judge for incompetence; and then c) demanded that the same judge conduct an ethics violation inquiry of the DOJ herself! But Popok knows what’s going on here and explains on his latest hot take.

Notes de l’épisode
The award-winning Legal AF podcast, with Karen Friedman Agnifilo joined by Lisa Graves filling in for Michael Popok, provides searing commentary in real time on the biggest breaking legal and political stories. Together, they break down Trump and Todd Blanche’s escalating attacks on congressional leaders, the latest legal developments involving Trump ally Alina Habba in New Jersey, and House Republicans’ efforts to shield Trump through a report on the Epstein files that attempts to absolve him of wrongdoing. They also examine the fight over Pete Hegseth, the GOP’s move to block an impeachment vote, and the questions surrounding why the vote went forward without sufficient support and where Democrats stood. Plus, they discuss a Trump-appointed judge’s decision to let the BBC lawsuit move forward and Judge Reyes’s growing distrust of the DOJ amid whistleblower allegations that Trump administration officials at the Interior Department are destroying government records.

Notes de l’épisode
The DOJ leadership is collapsing before our very eyes just 72 hours after the midterm election, and now Trump’s “grand conspiracy” criminal investigation of Obama and Obama-era officials, presided over by Judge Cannon, has claimed another victim in the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Reding Quinones, who abruptly resigned. That makes 3 top officials quit or be forced out in 72 hours. Popok predicts who goes next and why, and who will try to enter private practice, including a Trump judge or two, to make a lot of money representing MAGA causes while avoiding impeachment.

Trump Melts Down as Dems Try to Obtain and Release Jack Smith’s Mar a Lago Report on Trump Crimes

Notes de l’épisode
One of many positive developments is that the Democrats soon to be in charge of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees can go after Jack Smith’s Mar a Lago Volume 2 report outlining the “beyond the reasonable doubt” evidence against Trump for Espionage Act and Obstruction of Justice crimes, and try to override Judge Cannon’s order blocking its release for all time. Popok explains what that looks like, and how the future DOJ can also play a role as Judge Cannon may consider heading for the exits and becoming a private lawyer for republican causes.

Notes de l’épisode
Popok examines a terrible week for Trump and his connection to the Epstein sex trafficking scandal, starting with a federal appeals court ruling for Katie Phang and forcing the DOJ to translate all the Epstein foreign language documents in the files; at midweek the House Judiciary Committee Democratic leadership issued a shocking 50 page report accusing Trump of sex crimes based on new evidence, and then on Saturday a federal judge dismissed with prejudice Trump’s “10 billion dollar case” against the WSH for publishing a story about Trump’s letter to Epstein included in his 50th birthday leather bound scrap book from 30 years ago.

Popok reports on the Trump Cabinet with Trump’s permission ganging up on the weakest link of weak links in the Trump Cabinet— Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth, throwing the former Fox and Friends incompetent under the bus and pinning Tuesday’s electoral wipe out on him and him alone. Of course JD Vance is leading the charge as eyes turn to him as a big loser on Election Night as well.

Notes de l’épisode
On a special Post Election edition of the Legal AF Pod, Popok and KFA discuss what happens next as the Democrats roar back to power and hold the gavel over ALL the oversight and judiciary committees. What does the shape of Trump’s final 2 years look like; how will the Democrats reform SCOTUS and block any attempt to confirm new Justices or judges; how will the Dems use their power to investigate and perhaps impeach the DOJ and its senior leadership; what will happen to Trump’s “vanity” projects which consume his every waking hour, like the Kennedy Center, the Ballroom, the Reflecting Pool, the Arch, the Golf course etc., now that the Dems hold the purse strings. What does accountability and rooting out corruption look like when they go from catch phrases to action? All that and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

Notes de l’épisode
Popok explains that the second happiest entity on the planet about the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch having Trump’s case for billions of dollars in defamation damages dismissed against it by a Florida federal judge is the BBC. The BBC is waiting to hear if Trump’s case for billions against it is going to be dismissed by another judge in the Southern District of Florida federal court. Popok explains how the WSJ case could help the BBC in its case, giving a permission structure to a Trump judge to rule against him.

Notes de l’épisode
Popok briefs on how the House Oversight Committee led by Rep. Garcia and Judiciary Commitee chaired by Jamie Raskin will be used by the Democrats in their return to power to immediately start investigations of Musk and DOGE; Trump and his families money money making; corruption in the DOJ and on the federal bench; and the Trump-Epstein sex abuse conspiracy on day 1 of taking the gavel. Popok also explains that 90 percent of the time the focus will be on investigations and referrals to STATE prosecutors and the other 10 percent on the much harder constitutional impeachment and removal route. But it all matters.

Notes de l’épisode
Popok briefs on how last night’s historic wipeout for Trump and MAGA means that Trump will NOT be able to fill any Supreme Court vacancies for the remaining 2 years of his term, a huge miscalculation for Trump and Justices Alito and Thomas who want to retire AND allow Trump to ensure MAGA control of the court for the next 30 years. Instead, the Senate and House Democrats now in power have the landslide and mandate they need to block the seats AND reform the Court once and for all including adding 4 new Supreme Court seats, giving an incoming Democratic president up to SIX Supreme Court seats to fill!

Notes de l’épisode
The smell of victory is in the air on Election Day, as the Chief Judge of the DC Federal Court, Jeb Boasberg, has issued an emergency restraining order to block the Trump Administration’s efforts to cancel out more than 20,000 California votes based on faulty data that would lead to citizens registered to vote having their votes thrown in the trash. Popok examines Judge Boasberg’s order along with a half-dozen cases in the closing hours of the election, creating an uninterrupted string of losses for the Trump Administration and its goal of stealing the election from the People.

On this Special Pre Election Night edition of Legal AF, Dina Doll and Lisa Graves discuss breaking news on a federal court dismissing Trump's efforts to intervene in the Alaska U.S. Senate race and how the Trump-controlled Justice Department has broken with long-standing rules against electoral disruption. They also discuss Trump running to the U.S. Supreme Court over California's ballots and CA Governor Gavin Newsom's efforts to counter Trump's operatives at polling places. Plus, they breakdown another big loss for Trump: the dismissal of his suit against the Wall Street Journal over its reporting on Trump's birthday sketch to his best friend Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.

Notes de l’épisode
The award winning Legal AF Pod with founders Ben and Popok at the helm are back with a Special Midterm Election show, updating the audience on all voting and vote stealing lawsuits and their status with just hours to go before the election. Will any of them end up at the Supreme Court and will the Court try to interfere with the election? And while the Trump Administration tries unsuccessfully to interfere with the election so far, Trump hunkers down in the bunker with Natalie Harp and continues picking out wall paper and carpet colors as he tries to build and decorate his way out of the worst rating for a president at the midterms.
