Federal Prosecutors set to DROP THE HAMMER on Trump

Defense attorney Michael Popok & former prosecutor Karen Friedman Agnifilo are back with a new episode of the midweek edition of the Legal AF pod. On this episode, they debate what will happen next: in Trump’s appeal as to whether he has “presidential immunity” from criminal prosecution, as the Supreme Court casts a watchful eye; Special Counsel Jack Smith’s latest explosive filing in a case that is “technically” stayed, to respond to Trump’s violent antics, and to prevent Trump from turning the courtroom for the March trial into a mockery; state courts around the country struggling to apply the “disqualification” provision of the 14th Amendment to ban Trump from the ballot, as the Supreme Court, again, looms; the increased threat levels against judges of every stripe, and other public servants in our system of justice and how it can be stopped before it’s too late, and so much more at the intersection of law, politics, and justice.

Trump may be banned by the Maine Secretary of State from the presidential ballot next week under a quirk in Maine law. Michael Popok of Legal AF explains how the fact that 8 different Colorado judges each agreed that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution of the United States and violation of the 14th amendment, may influence the secretary of state’s decision next week as well the likely appeal to the United States Supreme Court.

Trial attorneys Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok are back with a new episode of the weekend edition of the LegalAF podcast. On this episode, they debate/discuss: whether the US Supreme Court’s refusal to decide whether Trump has presidential immunity from federal criminal prosecution on a fast track and deferring for now to the DC Court of Appeals and its ruling expected in early January, is a setback for the March criminal trial or not; the Colorado Supreme Court’s 4-3 decision to ban Trump from the ballot being blocked while the US Supreme Court decides the issue, as MAGA led by Trump violently attack the Colorado Supreme Court justices who ruled against him; the immediate impact on hundreds of cases of the Supreme Court’s decision to decide in late Spring whether Trump and other Jan6 defendants can be charged with “corrupt obstruction of an official proceeding” –one of the crimes with the highest sentences used by the DOJ; the surprising decision by federal judge Cannon to get her Mar a Lago criminal case back on track for a May trial date, at least on paper; why the 11th Circuit creating new law in denying Trump former chief of staff Mark Meadows’ attempts as a former federal officer to transfer his Georgia criminal case to federal court as a way to seek its dismissal, doomed Jeff Clarke’s appeal, and Trump’s efforts to get his own criminal case out of state court too; and so much more from the intersection of law, politics and justice.
