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.

Will 11 Judges that make up the full en banc review panel for the 9th Circuit overturn a 2-1 decision based on a phony record to allow Trump to deploy the National Guard in Portland? Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News joins Popok to discuss the new ruling, the scathing dissent of Judge Graber and what happens next at the 9th Circuit this week.

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. Popok explains why this motion should be the final nail in the coffin for Halligan's short lived prosecutor career.

A hot 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals bench seems unlikely to let Alina Habba keep her coveted Interim US Attorney of NJ position as they embarrassed her DOJ lawyer and her to her face in court today with withering questions. Popok brings the receipts from today's hearing.

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. Popok reports.

Against the backdrop of this weekend's No Kings Protests, his DOJ is hapless and having their overcharged felony cases against protestors rejected by grand juries and juries. Popok reports on US Attorney Jeannine Piro's epic and historic failures in court as DC Grand Juries and Juries refuse to indict and convict, using Sidney Lori Reid and her 4th win against the US Attorney has a prime example.

While Trump refuses to release economic data during his Shutdown, showing his fiscal failures as President, other major players like JP Morgan Chase Chairman Jamie Dimond and Fed Reserve Chair Jay Powell are warning the American people that we have a "cockroach" problem, and I don't just mean Trump. Popok puts on his Wall Street hat to explain why Trump is responsible for a Trillion dollars of stock market and cryptocurrency losses in the last week, and how the American people can hold him accountable.

In breaking news and a blow to Trump's efforts to take over Chicago using military and its National Guard, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeal in a 3-0 ruling lead by 2 Republican Judges, has blocked Trump's deployment of the National Guard on the streets of Chicago/Ilinois. Popok explains how Trump's own bragging was used against him by the Court.
