Hacks, Flacks & Quacks

The top-rated weekly law and politics podcast -- LegalAF -- produced by MeidasTouch and anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, is back for another hard-hitting, thought-provoking yet entertaining look at the most compelling developments at the intersection of law and politics in real-time. On this episode, Ben and Popok explore and explode this week’s political litigation developments: 1. Bombshell revelations about why Trump chose Rudy “I will say anything” Giuliani to be his lawyer when no legitimate lawyer would take his cases. 2. The troubling indictment for lying of democratic lawyer Michael Sussman by Trump’s special prosecutor looking into Russian interference for providing compelling evidence of Russian involvement, but allegedly not disclosing to the FBI that he also worked for the Clinton Campaign. 3. This week’s decision by a North Carolina 3-judge trial panel to overturn the state’s new Voter ID laws as racially-biased and violative of the State’s Equal Protection Clause. 4. The FBI’s bumbling investigation of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, the 4,5000 tips it received prior to his confirmation, and what it means for the future. 5. This week’s decision by an upstate NY federal judge to block New York’s front-line health worker vax mandate on First Amendment, religious grounds. 6. Key Developments in the USA v. the State of Texas case challenging the constitutionality of the abortion ban and now assigned to an Obama-appointee federal judge sitting in Austin, and a full hearing on the matter to be held by him in 2-weeks’ time. 7. A “friends of the court” brief just filed by the architect of the Texas Bounty Hunter/Handmaid’s Tale abortion ban, the state’s former solicitor general, seeking not only the overturn of Roe v. Wade, but also that women should go back to the Dark Ages of abstaining from sex altogether, and calling for the elimination of gay marriage and gay sex as a constitutional right. 8. And, updates, updates on: (a) E. Jean Carroll’s defamation suit against Trump in Manhattan federal court; and (b) a Jan6 insurrectionist trying to walk away from a sweet-heart 8 month plea deal for breaking into the Senate Chamber by claiming his plea agreement was “forged.” Special Easter Eggs Alert: Popok receives NO yellow cards from Ben on this episode but does demand that Ben wear a LegalAF t-shirt on the next show.

Judge Drops Emergency Order to Stop Destruction of Evidence in Alex Pretti Case

Judge Drops Emergency Order to Stop Destruction of Evidence in Alex Pretti Case

In breaking news, a Trump appointed Federal Judge has issued an extraordinary emergency restraining order over night, without even hearing from the Trump Administration, to block the Administration from doing anything to “conceal or alter” evidence from the Alex Pretti crime scene, indicating that even Trump fed judges don’t trust this Administration not to destroy crime scene evidence about a federal officer’s shooting of a US Citizen who was exercising his 1st and Second Amendment rights. Popok reports on Judge Tostrud’s order and how public outcry has worked to have MAGA senators, congresspeople, and news outlets controlled by Rupert Murdoch call for Trump to pull out of Minnesota and stop murdering its citizens.

Legal AF Full Episode - 1/24/2026

Trump’s invasion of Minnesota takes another dark and dangerous turn. Tonight on Legal AF, Ben and Popok breaks down how Americans are no longer safe in their own homes, members of the press are being targeted, and another U.S. citizen protester has been shot and killed as federal forces escalate their presence on the ground. We examine the constitutional collapse unfolding in real time — where First Amendment rights, Fourth Amendment protections, and basic human safety are being trampled under the guise of “law and order.” We also turn to the global stage, where the world — led by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney — has decisively rejected Donald Trump’s strongman tactics and sent him packing in diplomatic defeat. Back at home, Special Counsel Jack Smith reminds America of a sobering truth: the White House is occupied by a criminal, and accountability has not disappeared just because Trump wishes it would. Finally, we look ahead to the Supreme Court, where even this Court appears poised to deal Trump a significant loss — signaling serious trouble for his tariff agenda and exposing the limits of presidential power. It’s a packed, urgent episode focused on truth, law, and the fight to preserve our constitutional democracy.

Trump Blindsided by Judge Over Ballroom from Hell

Trump Blindsided by Judge Over Ballroom from Hell

Is Trump building a secret harden bunker deep under the Golden Ball Room with money he diverted and laundered through the Park Service public accounts to his private White House residence bank accounts? All of these issues came out in public during a hearing before Federal Judge Leon, who seems poised to issue a “stop work order” to prevent further vertical construction of the Ball Room without Congressional approval. Michael Popok ties it all together.

Whistleblower Blows the Roof Off Trump’s Secret ICE Scheme

Whistleblower Blows the Roof Off Trump’s Secret ICE Scheme

In breaking news, 2 Trump officials have anonymously blown the whistle on the administration and leaked the existence of a secret May 2025 ICE memo telling ICE Agents to go ahead and ignore the 4th Amendment preventing illegal searches and seizures in peoples homes, and use Trump administrative official issued Administrative warrants not supervised by a federal judge, to break down doors and arrest undocumented migrants in their own homes. Popok explains how this is violative of decades of Supreme Court precedent requiring that only a Judicial Branch Federal Judge can issue an arrest warrant to break into someone’s home. All this against the backdrop of masked armed ICE agents using a 5-year-old little boy as BAIT to capture family members in Minnesota, and Trump’s chief Immigration official telling his colleagues they can ignore Federal Court orders.

Trump Opens Himself Up to Discovery Nightmare in Pathetic Lawsuit

Trump Opens Himself Up to Discovery Nightmare in Pathetic Lawsuit

Trump, trying desperately to distract from a new cycle from hell (Greenland fail; Supreme Court fail; Jack Smith fail), just filed a lawsuit against JP Morgan Chase and Jamie Dimond for “debanking” Trump and some of his companies, and “blackllsiting” them, that now opens him up to depositions and discovery about: a) his companies Tax Fraud convictions; b his companies and children’s civil fraud judgment and court ordered monitor; c) his more than 75 felony counts of indictments, and last but not least, an alleged $8 million dollar loan into Truth Social from sources linked to Putin and a porn-industry bank in Domenica reported in the Washington Post. Popok takes a hard look at the complaint and points out that it is factually at odds with another suit filed by Trump against the WaPo in Sarasota, Florida, in 2023.

Trump Abandons his Own as He Crumbles Under Pressure

Trump Abandons his Own as He Crumbles Under Pressure

As Trump short circuited today on the way to Switzerland (literally), his cowardice was in full view, as he threw Lindsey Halligan under the bus and let her resign in disgrace on the receiving end of back to back federal court orders in the last 24 hours.  Popok explains how this links to a growing list of Trump political hacks having to resign in disgrace, as Trump succumbed to political pressure and the will of the people again.

Trump DOJ Instantly Trapped as Judge Invites Epstein Lawsuit?!?!

Trump DOJ Instantly Trapped as Judge Invites Epstein Lawsuit?!?!

A federal judge just invited members of congress and Epstein Survivors to file a federal lawsuit against the DOJ for its willful violation the Epstein Transparency Act as it continues to “disappear” millions of documents, denying the survivors the dignity and justice they deserve. Popok who represents one of the survivor leaders Lisa Phillips reports on Judge Engelmeyer’s order that may have found he doesn’t have the power to appoint a special master to force the production of Epstein documents, but invited a new lawsuit at the very same time.
