In a new ruling that Texas could use its racially motivated congressional maps for the midterm election because they were also based on party politics, the Supreme Court also inadvertently handed a win to states like California, acknowledging that their redrawn partisan maps are fine also, in a set back to Trump's DOJ. Popok explains how Justice Alito's comments will be used against Trump's DOJ in their new suit to overturn California's partisan map.

In breaking news, a Norfolk Virginia Grand Jury has refused to indict NY AG Tish James for mortgage fraud or any crime despite a new prosecutor being brought in, providing another resounding set back to Trump and his DOJ.

Under fire Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth may have just blown up his own ship, with the disclosure of a 2016 video in which he agreed that certain war crimes need to be prosecuted (presumably like ordering defenseless ship wrecked men with their back turned not to be hit with missiles during wartime), and that soldiers have an obligation NOT to follow illegal commands of the commander in chief!. The irony of Hegseth's newly surfaced statements as he calls US Congresspeople traitors that should be courtmartialed for saying the same thing, is not lost on Popok.

Michael Popok spots something peculiar in a new filing by Epstein's co-conspirator in child sex trafficking, Ghislaine Maxwell, as her current attorney informs a federal judge that she is going to try to file another petition to get released from federal prison, but ON HER OWN, and not with an attorney!.

Trump has officially lost it, bragging about passing “cognitive tests” that masquerade as dementia ones, while going on racist rants, interspersed with sexists ones, and then finally admitting that “affordability” in Trump America is a “con job!” When bored, he throws Administration officials like Kristie Noem, Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel under the bus. And now federal appellate courts are firing back like never before, as Trump begs his favorite Federal Judge not to release the Mar a Lago Jack Smith report.

Former FBI Dir. James Comey's lawyer, Professor Daniel Richman, has filed a new motion to prevent Trump's DOJ from using ANY part of the information they obtained from his emails, computers and laptops against Comey again, arguing that Richman's 4th Amendment rights against illegal search and seizure have been violated. Popok updates on the Comey and Letitia James investigations, including new reporting that Trump may be tryint to re-indict both of them before filing any appeal of Judge Currie's decision to find that Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed and tossing the indictments for now.

In new reporting, the FBI, working thousands of hours of overtime, was ready to produce to the public ALL the Epstein Files in April-May 2025 at the instruction of embattled FBI Dir. Patel, but AG Bondi and Trump killed the project when it reached 75% complete, according to new FBI emails. Popok reports on the countdown to the release of the files allegedly on 19 December, and the existence of a devastating Exhibit List from Epstein's trial that sheds new light on what depraved materials may be in the files.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Popok updates on a fast moving story of Judge Ellis entering a Preliminary Injunction to stop the abuse of First Amendment Protestors, and the Trump Administration asking the 7th Circuit to stay her order.

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.

We are now on a 48 hour clock to see if the Supreme Court will allow Trump to starve Americans, who are checking their SNAP/anti hunger payment accounts hourly to see if they can feed their families today or not. Popok explains that with the new First Circuit denial of Trump's request to not make another of $3 billion in payments to hungry American families below the poverty line, he is now forced, because of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's masterful decision over the weekend, to publicly go to the Supreme Court and ask them and the MAGA6 to let him starve Americans.

In breaking news, the Supreme Court has for now rejected an effort by MAGA conservatives to have the Court overturn the constitutional right to same sex marriage, there not being at least 4 votes at a consideration conference to take up the matter on appeal.

In a scorching dissent addressed to the MAGA 6 on the Supreme Court, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson took her title seriously, and metes out justice to protect the transgender American community who are being forced to have their "gender assigned at birth" listed on their passports, not for some legitimate "foreign affairs" reason, but because Trump hates the community. Popok reports that KBJ callis out her brethren for "misunderstanding the assignment" when Trump files an emergency appeal, improperly picking "winner and losers" on cases that are not yet developed and ignoring the psychological and emotional harm to a fragile population in our society that needs protection, on his latest hot take.

Trump filing getting around to filing his appeal brief raising tired old arguments to undo his 34 felony count conviction in New York is not the news; the headline is the ethical dilemma yet another Trump lawyer and firm have with trying to represent both Trump as President and Trump personally, representing him in his appeals, while also serving as secret government lawyers to squeeze fellow law firms and get them to settle "or else" with the Trump Administration. Popok does a deep dive on Robert Giuffra of Sullivan & Cromwell, and how his straddling the ethical fence has benefited his firm, including getting one of his partners a plum DOJ position.
