The Intersection with Michael Popok

Even the Trump Administration's own Commerce Secretary and Chief Tariff ambassador must not believe that Trump's Tariffs are legal, because his 28 year old son just greenlit his former company Cantor Fitzgerald to get into the business of betting AGAINST the tariffs by buying hundreds of millions of tariff refund claims from companies betting that the tariffs will not survive Court. Popok takes a close look at the bad optics of a company close to Trump's inner circle betting against Trump.

The Trump Admin. is playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with Federal Judge Boasberg, telling him that they may (or may not) bring back to his courtroom for court-ordered hearings, the 250 people they allowed to be sent from El Salvador to Venezuela in a brutal regime prisoner swap they facilitated. Popok outlines what will likely happen next.

Trump is already finding ways to grift and steal off of his self-proclaimed Chairmanship of the FIFA 2026 World Cup, and Rudy Guiliani's kid, Andrew, and the FIFA Executive Director Gianni Infantino, are willing participants in the heist. Popok explores how Trump will use his Crypto currency businesses to make himself billions off of FIFA and the tournament, and how he literally stole from FIFA at a recent tournament, caught on camera.

Trump's attempts to hide his best friend relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Cohen by filing a public law suit about it (??) just took a worse turn, as the judge "random selection gods" just assigned Judge Daryn Gayles to his new defamation case against Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal, the same judge who presided over Trump's quick dismissal of a similar defamation case against Michael Cohen. Popok knows Judge Gayles well inside and outside the courtroom, and provides his invaluable insight as to what's going to likely happen next in the case (hint: think early dismissal).

The American Economy just voted and it is firing Trump, whose "Trump-enomics " is warped by his blind devotion to cryptocurrency, and has backfired on the American People. Popok reports that we are now paying more for everything, as the new consumer price data is now out. Still, because Trump makes his money by pumping the crypto bubble, he doesn't really care how much people pay for food, rent, clothing, electronics, health care, or anything else, since he's so insulated from it.

Embattled and scandal-scarred Trump AG Pam Bondi, thought this is the perfect moment in time to fire her ETHICS COUNSEL, and spell his name wrong in his firing letter to boot. Popok takes a close look at how the Supreme Court in their 6-3 MAGA decision to enable Trump ignoring our historic civil service protections to stop political firings especially at the Justice Department, has enabled Bondi to drain the brains right out of the DOJ.

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.

Is Trump actually IN the Epstein Files, the documents the FBI has in its possession about the pedophile wingman of Trump? Well, the Trump-Epstein Coverup Scandal has gotten so big over the weekend that a reporter actually had to ask Trump point blank whether he's in the files! Popok examines how Trump looking soft on pedophiles (especially when they are his former run around town buddies), is driving MAGA and its Deep State/Pedophiles conspiracy theories batty, and the more Trump fights back the deeper hole he digs for himself, as the Democrats join forces with MAGA to demand the files release to "protect the children."

Almost 70 Trump Administration DOJ lawyers have quit almost en masse to protest the lawlessness of the Adminstration, all from the main division responsible for defending Trump's most depraved policies in court -- DOGE putting agencies through the wood chipper, Birthright Citizenship, attacks on higher education like Harvard and law firms, etc. Popok pieces it together with the 50 federal judges, republican, democrat and Trump appointed who have called Trump lawless and in bad faith in dozens of court documents. The resistance IS televised, here on the Legal AF Youtube channel.

To paraphrase the Godfather, Putin's been playing Trump and feeding him "bullshit" all along, and Trump just woke up to side with our ally Ukraine after 6 months, 1000 Ukrainians losing their lives, President Zelensky publicly humiliation by Trump and Vance and billions of US dollars wasted as a result. Popok shows how the vacillating by Trump who fiddled while Ukraine burned played right into the hands of Putin , as Trump only now decides to side with our ally, an ally and the American First MAGA movement hates Trump for not ending.

The Supreme Court finally ruled against Trump on an immigration issue, ruling that Florida's attempt, supported by Trump to criminalize immigration, as a Federal judge found Florida's Attorney General in contempt, and Trump tries to distance themselves from Alligator Alcatraz, blaming DeSantis for it.

World Leaders have united...against America and Trump on the Global Trade stage, as the European Union declares the end to "transatlantic trade" as we know it because of Trump's 30% tariff. Popok looks at how waiting for Trump to "fold" like a TACO is no longer an option, as he has raised tariff rates already from 2% to 16% the highest since 1910, and world leaders are defiantly firing back...and hitting Americans.

MAGA and its "America First" sub-base, is being torn apart by Trump's Epstein Coverup, as they turn to their true leader Tucker Carlson, and start heading for the exits as Trump tries to send "his" MAGA "boys and gals" to their rooms, for having the brass ones to challenge the Fearless Leader. Popok takes a close look at 2 telling events this weekend: Trump getting BOOED at a major sporting event while his Gen Z supporters at a Student Summit in Florida booed his handling of Epstein as well.

A pissed-off Judge Xinis closely questioned and then scolded new Trump DOJ lawyers who flipped-flopped for the 4th time in the case and now said that they would effectively abandon the manufactured criminal case against Abrego Garcia and just remove him in 2 weeks to a third country, not named El Salvador. Popok reports on the judge blurting out that getting answers that aren't "illogical" from the DOJ is like "stapling jello to the ceiling" as she denied 2 Trump motions to dismiss the case, and is strongly considering ordering that Abrego Garcia be brought under her protection in Maryland in order to comply with the Supreme Court's orders in the case.

Trump is f'n with the US Economy again, and his mental slide makes it so he can't even get basic facts right about his own Tariff deadlines, a fact so obvious that his own commerce secretary had to bail him out and cut him off to answer a reporter's question.

Michael Popok on his new podcast The Intersection is back to brief the audience on breaking legal and political news. Join him as he tackles: 1) how the Trump budget bill can be used offensively to make Trump and MAGA pay for their policies; 2) how federal judges are crafting new injunctions to do an end run around the Supreme Court's decision, including a new injunction to stop the destruction of our public health services; 3) a federal judge who does not believe the Trump Administration when it tells her they will NOT DEPORT US BABIES to foreign countries and what she's going to do about it; 4) why a person suing because he was wrongfully deported and imprisoned without due process is now begging to be imprisoned in federal detention to protect him from the Trump Administration; 5) how Federal judges will address the due process and civil rights violation embodied by the Alligator Alcatraz, and so much more at The Intersection.

As a failed diversionary tactic from the fact that Trump can't locate Iran's uranium stockpile, he has now attacked the NYT and CNN and threatened them with what else -- a defamation lawsuit-- because they properly reported "preliminary" assessments in leaked top secret Trump intelligence community documents that said that Iran's nuclear program only set back a few months.
