DOJ Throttles Texas’ Abortion Ban, “Seditious Conspiracy,” Biden Vax Mandates, and More!

The top-rated weekly law and politics podcast -- LegalAF -- produced by Meidas Touch 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. At the top of the podcast, Ben and Popok honor the victims and first responders and their families on the 20th Anniversary of September 11th. Then, Ben and Popok explore and explode this week’s political litigation developments: The DOJ bombshell/landmark suit of The United States of America v. the State of Texas, filed this week to find that the Texas abortion ban (SB8) “defiantly” violates: the US Constitution, a woman’s Constitutional-right to terminate her pregnancy prior to viability, and the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, Commerce Clause, and the Intergovernmental Immunity doctrine. Oath Keeper attorney and others possibly being charged by DOJ with Federal crime of “seditious conspiracy” concerning the January 6th attack on the Capitol. President Biden’s Vaccine Mandates for business and federal workers through OSHA, the 1905 SCOTUS precedent to support it, and the GQP predictable resistance to the new public health laws. Fulton County, Georgia’s District Attorney continued criminal investigation into Trump’s phone call on January 2nd to the Georgia Secretary of State to “find votes” and fraudulently overturn the election results, and possible crimes committed by Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Lindsey Graham. A Florida Federal judge finding that Governor DeSantis’ “anti-protest” law passed in response to the BLM movement, violates the Constitution’s First Amendment protecting free speech and the right to peaceably assembly, and harks back to Jim Crow days and the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. A federal civil suit filed against Prince Andrew under New York’s Child Victims Act brought by a plaintiff who alleges that as part of the Jeffrey Epstein web of depravity, she was raped by the Prince when she was a teenager, and a discussion of how her lawyers were finally able to serve him with the lawsuit in England.

Trump Gets Wrecked as Dismissal Tanks Comey Case

Trump Gets Wrecked as Dismissal Tanks Comey Case

Looks like Trump AG Pam Bondi is responsible for having both the Former FBI Director James Comey and current NY AG Tish James indictments tossed today by a federal judge, along with Lindsey Halligan as interim US Attorney in Virginia. Michael Popok digs deep into Judge Currie’s earth-shattering twin rulings today, in which she rejects Bondi’s appointment of Halligan as illegal, and scoffs at Bondi’s last-minute series of retroactive ratification “memos” as she declares Halligan an illegal, non-prosecutor when she obtained the now dismissed indictments. Popok also explains who fills the immediate prosecutor vacancy (and it ain’t Trump); and what is likely to happen next in the cases with emergency appeals and social media attacks by Trump and his DOJ.

Trump DOJ Shredded in Court by Pissed Off Judge

Trump DOJ Shredded in Court by Pissed Off Judge

A Federal Judge called DOJ witnesses "word salad testimony" and "zeros" as she decides whether to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia from custody and send him to Costa Rica (or give him amnesty) instead of sending him 3000 miles away to Liberia. Michael Popok dissects the evidentiary hearing before Judge Xinis and why she may release Garcia as a remedy to punish the Trump Administration for abuse of power and prosecutorial misconduct.

Legal AF Full Episode - 11/22/2025

The public demand for an unhinged Trump to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment reaches a fevered pitch as Trump calls for the assassination of Democratic elected officials who served in the armed forces. The DOJ falls flat on its face in the Comey and James indictments as they leave Lindsey Halligan twisting in the wind. Pam Bondi puts into place a path to block the Epstein Files release, again, as Ghislaine Maxwell figures out that she lied under oath and wants to assert the 5th Amendment privilege again to avoid testimony to Congress. The MAGA 6 on the Supreme Court steps in to bail out Trump again and blocks and order requiring Texas to not be racist in their congressional map making. That and so much more on the top rated Legal AF podcast with Ben and Popok.

Trump DOJ Torpedoes their Own Case with Desperate Filing

Trump DOJ Torpedoes their Own Case with Desperate Filing

The DOJ and Lindsey Halligan just found a new way to destroy their criminal case against Former FBI Dir. James Comey— by filing 7 minutes of a grand jury transcript that not only proves they lied to another federal judge last week in a sworn filing, but also constitutes a “waiver” of any argument they had against having the entirety of the grand jury transcript turned over asap to the defense. Michael Popok closely examines the new last-minute filing and proves how it may not only kill off the indictment but may also lead to Halligan’s disqualification as prosecutor.

Trump Prosecutor Caught Red-Handed as Entire Plan Falls Apart

Trump Prosecutor Caught Red-Handed as Entire Plan Falls Apart

In breaking news, a federal judge questioned whether Trump’s hand picked prosecutor Lindsey Halligan is a “puppet,” cross examines her and gets her to admit that the full grand jury NEVER saw the Comey indictment that was presented to the Court, and forces another novice prosecutor to admit that there is a secret memo that helps the defense that his bosses in Washington (ie. Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi) don’t want the Judge or the defense to know about. Michael Popok reports on the many ways the Comey case may be dismissed by several judges in the next couple of weeks.

Trump Makes Emergency Filing as Comey Case Quickly Collapses

Trump Makes Emergency Filing as Comey Case Quickly Collapses

In an error filled “emergency filing” the Trump DOJ seeks to block the release of secret grand jury materials in the prosecution of Former FBI Director James Comey case, the files that according to one judge, demonstrate that Lindsey Halligan committed at least 2 cardinal violations of the US Constitution in her interactions with the Grand Jury, and findings that she likely misled or lied to another federal judge. Michael Popok explains that curiously, the filing IGNORES the lying and the constitutional violations completely and explains what will happen next with the District Court judge who will review the transcripts for himself.
