Hate Crimes, Hateful Rhetoric, and Racial Bias in Hiring & Redistricting

Hate Crimes, Hateful Rhetoric, and Racial Bias in Hiring & Redistricting

Anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, the top-rated news analysis podcast LegalAF x MeidasTouch is back for another hard-hitting, thought-provoking look in “real time” at this week’s developments. On this episode, Ben and Popok discuss: 1. A Federal Court’s rejection of convicted murderer Travis McMichael’s plea deal on federal hate crimes due to Ahmaud Arbery’s family objections, meaning he goes to trial this week facing another life sentence. 2. A black woman being convicted and sentenced to 6 years in prison for trying to vote before her probation was over. 3. NFL coach Brian Flores, one of only 2 NFL Black head coaches, filing a class action suit against the NFL and some of its teams because of its racially-segregated “Plantation”-like system. 4. The Fulton County (GA) District Attorney fighting off racist attacks on her credibility as she moves closer to having a Special Grand Jury gather the evidence she needs to indict Trump for criminal interference in the election process. 5. A Federal Court’s overturning a Texas law preventing state contractors from exercising their First Amendment rights concerning the Israel-Palestinian conflict. 6. The Ghislaine Maxwell Federal Judge deciding whether to unseal the defense’s motion for new trial on the basis that “Juror 50” failed to disclose that he had been a victim of sex abuse in the jury selection process. 7. State Supreme Courts protecting voting rights in redistricting in ways Federal Courts and SCOTUS have refused, giving victories to Democratic voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania so far. 8. Updates to the Jan6 Committee’s work including 3 more key cooperators. 9. Pence’s too little too late admission that Trump was wrong about Pence having the power to overturn an election, and the GQP’s latest Orwellian attempts to refrain the Jan6 Insurrectionist and attempted violent coup, as a mere “legitimate political discourse” And much more.

Wow: Trump Accidentally Accuses Himself of Crimes?!

Wow: Trump Accidentally Accuses Himself of Crimes?!

According to Trump, he committed “deceitful,” “criminal,” and “crooked” conduct that subjects him to criminal prosecution, because he took out 2 mortgages for 2 homes in Palm Beach County near Mar-a-Lago, three weeks apart, and listed both as his primary residences for favorable rate treatment. New reporting by ProPublica reveals that Trump did the exact same thing as Federal Reserve Board of Governor Lisa Cook, and that Trump’s “defense” of why what he did is not mortgage fraud, actually provides a defense to Governor Cook!

Judge Takes Emergency Action Against Trump Over the Files

Judge Takes Emergency Action Against Trump Over the Files

In a scathing new order, a NY Federal Judge has called out the Trump DOJ for failing to properly protect innocent victims and survivors of the Epstein child sex trafficking ring covered up by Trump, and has made sure that the innocent victims will be protected as he ordered the public release of ALL of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial documents and exhibits and grand jury material. Michael Popok explains that the letters from the victims to the Judge were a powerful message and led him to now hold one person in the DOJ responsible for making sure victim’s privacy is not compromised with the new release, and the judge taking time to remind the world what a heinous criminal Maxwell is.

A fight has broken out between Trump’s DOJ and the Judges of the Eastern District of Virginia, who are refusing to accept any new court filing with fired US Attorney Lindsey Halligan’s name on it. Meanwhile, Trump and his Attorney General are trying to exploit a loophole in the court order disqualifying Halligan to argue that she gets to stay in her job, although she was canned by Judge Currie. Popok explains the current hand to hand combat which Trump is sure to lose, and how the recent resignation of Alina Habba plays into it.
