A good week for Democracy: Trump losses at the hands of NYAG, Georgia DA, and SCOTUS

You come for the law and stay for the truth. Anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, the top-rated news analysis podcast is back for another hard-hitting, thought-provoking look in “real time” at this week’s developments. On this episode, Ben and Popok discuss a very bad week for Trump and his minions: 1. Fulton County (GA) District Attorney seeking a special grand jury concerning Trump’s attempt to commit election fraud. 2. The New York Attorney General filing a 160 page petition with a New York court outlining all of the evidence she has about Trump’s loan and tax fraud, including almost 1 MILLION pages of documents. 3. SCOTUS in an 8-1 decision permitting the National Archive to turn over 700 pages of documents Trump wanted blocked to the Jan6 Special Committee. 4. SCOTUS refusing to accelerate any further legal challenges to Texas’ 6 week ban on abortion before it rules on the constitutional right in the summer, and Sotomayor’s dissent. 5. Clarence Thomas’ wife, Ginny, and her support for right wing extremism including cases before the Supreme Court, and whether that requires his disqualification or recusal. 6. Possible prosecution of the people who participated in the “fake” and forged electoral certificates sent to Swing States and the National Archive, including Rudy Giuliani. 7. Speaking of Rudy, a federal special master has just released to the US Attorney’s Office, Southern District of NY, 7000+ pages of texts and communications from his 18 devices grabbed in a dawn raid in April 2021. 8. The first “OathKeeper” indicted for seditions conspiracy has his pretrial detention hearing before a federal magistrate in Arizona, and his tweets get him in to trouble. 9. Ghislaine Maxwell may have another day in Court: Defense team files its motion for new trial based on improper conduct of one of the jurors in deliberation. And much more. Support the Show!
