The Intersection with Michael Popok

The Trump Administration and DOJ faces its FIRST TRIAL against it for vindictive prosecution and now Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers are seeking to drag Trump top officials like #2 in the DOJ Todd Blanche kicking and screaming into the trial scheduled for Nov 4 and 5. Popok takes a look at ALL the civil and criminal cases that Trump is involved with and how judges will permit the parties to obtain depositions (testimony under oath) from Trump and others as his strategy blows up in his face.

A Congressional Trust has now gotten into the act and told Trump that the desecration by demo of the White House is illegal, and not authorized, leading the White House to accidentally confess that they need "permits" to build the ballroom and can't just act unilaterally to tear down the People's House. Popok reports on the new scathing letter sent from the National Trust to Trump's White House which others will likely use as a basis for a new suit to stop it.

A bombshell new lawsuit is filed by Arizona to force MAGA Mike to swear in Rep. Grijalva and get the release of the Epstein Trump Coverup Files to a House vote. Trump tries to steal another $230 million from American Taxpayers seeking to arrange a phony settlement of a phony lawsuit of his with his corrupt DOJ. Trump tries to steal $400 million from a not that wealthy college in Miami to pay for his Presidential Library to park his stolen $400 million Qatari plane. Trump tears down the White House and will again unless he is stopped, and then freaks out about it and tries to stop people from taking photos and videos of it. It’s been a rough 48 hours for incompetent Trump lawyers, as former FBI Director Comey files 2 motions to knock out Lindsey Halligan and his indictment for good, while Alina Habba has a rough day at the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to keep her US Attorney position. Lindsey Halligan accidentally leaks private messages with a reporter about the Leticia James prosecution. The 9th Circuit may have helped Trump deploy federal national guard troops in Oregon now, but will 11 judges of the 9th overturn the decision, and what will the Supreme Court do? Popok makes it all make sense on the top rated Intersection Podcast only on the MeidasTouch Network.

If Trump/Lindsey Halligan's indictment of Frmr FBI Dir. James Comey survives his motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution --using Trump's own rage filled attacks on Comey as the basis--it will be nothing short of a miracle.

Trump's DOJ in the Comey prosecution headed by outmatched Lindsey Halligan is already hitting the emergency break filing a motion indicating that they are scared "witless" by Comey's lawyer team and are trying to disqualify them on phony allegations that only backfired and had Comey remind the Judge that Trump is known for doing "unlawful" things.

It looks like today's the day for Ambassador John Bolton to be indicted for espionage and mishandling classified documents, a fall out from this 2020 book the "Room where it happens" which embarrassed Trump by claiming, among other things, that Trump asked the Chinese to help get him elected in 2020.

Trump's Oval Office presser to show "unity" within his DOJ and FBI went off the rails immediately, as he took over the podium, chastised his AG, Deputy AG and FBI Director, and demanded that his former Special Counsel prosecutor Jack Smith be indicted. Popok reports on Jack Smith's smart move to give his first interview to the public just before the presser to start speaking directly to the American People, following in the footsteps of NY AG Leticia James who took to a rally stage to tell Trump "bring it" and that she won't be silenced by his phony frame job of an indictment.

Trump blurts out overtly sexist and disgusting things about Press Sec Caroline Leavitt’s mouth, while preying on Italian PM Meloni fresh off his Middle East trip.

A once proud US Attorneys’ Office that is both on fire and “leaks” at the same time. A resistance movement of former DOJ senior officials ban together to warn America about the Trump Administration. A current Attorney General who is being judged by history (and future impeachment managers and prosecutors) and is failing on national TV. A Supreme Court and its MAGA wing that woke up and remembered the First Amendment today. Federal judges fight back to protect Trump’s hostile take over of Blue States and possible use of the Insurrection Act. The Epstein Scandal roars back into view, as Trump says things out loud about the convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell that gets people starting to look up the 25th Amendment and its removal process again. And Trump’s attempts to pin the blame on the Democrats for the first government shut down in history where the President controls all 3 branches of government (!!), backfires spectacularly, including in the Courts. And Popok is at The Intersection to make it make sense.

If you thought AG Pam Bondi was going to grow a brain, ethics or morality overnight before she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee as the leader of the most corrupt DOJ in history, think again. Exhibit A of what hundreds of former leaders of the DOJ call a full "attack" on the DOJ lead by Trump's enablers is today's testimony. Popok takes a hard look at the first part of her testimony in which she displays what a partisan hack she really is, putting her law license at risk.

Even the MAGA 6 on the Supreme Court couldn't find a way to help out Trump and his Epstein files coverup, ruling in a 1 line order that Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal of her 20 year child sex trafficking conviction is DENIED, placing maximum pressure on Trump and the MAGA House to release ALL the files.

Trump, relying on false reporting by yet another right wing social media self proclaimed "infuencer" and Jand6 denier Julie Kelly, just fired 2 more prosecutors in the US Attorney's Office that covers the Pentagon and CIA and all of our anti-terrorism and national security cases, including the lead prosecutor Michael Ben'ary after a distinguished 20 year career because Julie "said so."

As the Supreme Court's MAGA leader Clarence Thomas makes the eyepopping confession that he doesn't follow court precedent to make his decisions (?!?), lower courts are punching back by refusing to apply the Supreme Court's prior emergency docket rulings to their cases, and taking steps to find the Trump Administration in contempt instead. Popok takes a close look at a new order from Republican Federal Judge Lamberth who goes after Trump enabler Kari Lake in ruling to block further dismantling of the Voice of America, and calls out the Supreme Court while he does it. it's a Tuesday Two-Fer!

In the average of 10 different polls post-Charlie Kirk's demise and Trump's handling of it and the Comey indictment, Trump's approval rating is about 39% lowest in modern history, as he has been resoundingly rejected by the voters on immigration, the economy and jobs, trade, inflation and healthcare.

The only way the Trump DOJ could win a conviction against Trump's would be assassin Ryan Routh today was because he represented himself, had no lawyer to help him put on an insanity defense, and still AG Bondi took credit for it as an example of "prosecuting political violence." Popok explains that Routh once told Judge Cannon that he wanted to resolve the prosecution by having a golf match to the death with Trump, with female strippers presiding over it, and if he lost, Trump could put him to death by firing squad.

According to a new federal court filing in Trump’s defamation case against the Wall Street Journal in Miami, Rupert Murdoch’s paper argues that not only is the Trump–Epstein birthday card story accurate, but that Trump’s reputation for making sexist, vulgar, and disgusting comments about women — including Ivanka — is so notorious that it cannot be defamed. Popok reports on the filing and shares a theory that any settlement of the case could involve Murdoch paying money to buy into TikTok as part of the resolution.
