    Legal AF Full Episode - 7/16/2025
    Jul 17 2025
    Dina Doll and Lisa Graves guest 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, including: 1) the latest Epstein chaos, as the DOJ fights a major appeal while internal turmoil erupts with ethics-related firings and resignations; 2) a dramatic update out of Los Angeles, where a judge halts Trump’s ICE operation, triggering an emergency appeal and a sudden move by Trump to pull federal troops; 3) Trump’s escalating effort to purge federal appointees—including a push to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell—as the Supreme Court hands down a shocking ruling on mass federal firings; and 4) new developments in the Abrego Garcia case, where the courts continue to push back against Trump-era abuses of power. All that and more on the podcast that exposes the legal chaos threatening American democracy.

    The Intersection with Michael Popok Full Episode - 7/15/2025
    Jul 16 2025
    Michael Popok at The Intersection, as he takes on and takes down: 1) Trump, his close Epstein relationship and now MAGA now suspects that Trump is IN the covered-up files, and is not dismantling the deep state and chasing this conspiracy because he is "soft" on pedophilia and protecting Children; 2) scandal-scarred AG Pam Bondi leading a brain-drain at the DOJ enabled by the Supreme Court, as 70 Trump DOJ lawyers have quit rather than defend his policies in Court, and Bondi has fired another 2 dozen senior lawyers and replaced them with partisan hacks; 3) Trump lackey and former criminal defense lawyer Emil Bove may not be getting that coveted appeals court seat after all, as Senator Corey Booker calls for the whistleblowers to come forward and testify against Bove; 4) Trump-enomics is failing, as Americans suffer with much higher prices on everything, as Trump warps his economic policies by being beholden to the Crypto industry, and so much more at the intersection of law, politics and the defense of our democracy.

    Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok are back on the top-ranked Legal AF Podcast and take on: 1) The self immolation of MAGA and the Trump Administration over the Epstein "cover up" as major right wing influencers attack a clueless Trump about it and threaten his electoral chances at the midterm; 2) the revelation that the Trump DOJ, DHS and State Department have all been lying to federal judges about their control of the El Salvadoran prison used to house 200+ deportees and its impact on several pending cases; 3) a federal judge blocking the Trump Administration from violating the 4th and 5th Amendment rights of people who "look" or "sound" like illegal migrants; 4) an overview of the liability case against the Trump Administration, Texas, local officials and camp ownership for the Texas Flood Disaster, and so much more at the intersection of law and the defense of our democracy.
