The Intersection with Michael Popok Full Episode - 8/12/2025

The very FIRST trial against the Trump Administration and his DOJ for vindictive prosecution and dismissal of an indictment brought against one of his political enemies starts in just a few days, and the Defense is going after top DOJ and Trump lawyers to have them testify in open court. Popok breaks down the new trial subpoenas issued to DOJ #2 Todd Blanche and others, and how Trump’s and Melania’s civil suits will force him and his wife to sit for depositions and provide documents he’d rather not provide, and his vindictive criminal cases will drag his top lawyers into trial.

Trump’s handpicked prosecutor in Maryland, US Attorney Kelly O Hayes, who only a few days ago indicted one of Trump’s political enemies Ambassador John Bolton, according to sources, just told the DOJ that she WILL NOT prosecute Trump’s political rival Sen. Adam Schiff.  Michael Popok explains that a newly leaked memo from the Trump Administration’s own files likely convinced her not to prosecute, but nobody seems to have told clueless Trump who is still claiming Schiff will be indicted!

A bombshell new lawsuit is filed by Arizona to force MAGA Mike to swear in Rep. Grijalva and get the release of the Epstein Trump Coverup Files to a House vote. Trump tries to steal another $230 million from American Taxpayers seeking to arrange a phony settlement of a phony lawsuit of his with his corrupt DOJ. Trump tries to steal $400 million from a not that wealthy college in Miami to pay for his Presidential Library to park his stolen $400 million Qatari plane. Trump tears down the White House and will again unless he is stopped, and then freaks out about it and tries to stop people from taking photos and videos of it. It’s been a rough 48 hours for incompetent Trump lawyers, as former FBI Director Comey files 2 motions to knock out Lindsey Halligan and his indictment for good, while Alina Habba has a rough day at the Third Circuit Court of Appeals to keep her US Attorney position. Lindsey Halligan accidentally leaks private messages with a reporter about the Leticia James prosecution. The 9th Circuit may have helped Trump deploy federal national guard troops in Oregon now, but will 11 judges of the 9th overturn the decision, and what will the Supreme Court do?

When an inexperienced, newly appointed top prosecutor leading Trump’s vindictive prosecution plan against his political critics, slips into the direct messages of a reporter to chat about the prosecution of NY AG Tish James, you have the makings of a bombshell new investigative report by Anna Bower of LawFare. Anna joins Michael Popok to brief our audience on the series of messages, likely not approved by the DOJ, to Anna, which form the basis of her new eye-popping article “Anna, this is Lindsey” and what it says about the DOJ (who called Anna a “tattle tale” (?!?)) and Pam Bondi’s slip on the grip of power.

Trump is about to steal $400 million dollars from a poor Miami Florida University to pay for his Presidential Library, unless the Court’s stop him. Michael Popok reports from Miami on a new scandal opposed by 60% of mainly Republican Miami Dade County, that would have Miami Dade College transfer a 3 acre empty lot for free to the State and then to Trump for his library, as Trump siphons off the first $15 million and transfers it to a new entity he and his family control.

In breaking news, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, to Alina Habba’s face, seems poised to bounce her as US Attorney for NJ and finding she was illegally appointed by Trump, impacting at least 26 other Trump picks while she’s at it. Michael Popok brought the receipts with today’s Oral Argument hearing clips, that went so bad for Habba that posted a social media post that actually lied to the American People and implied that SHE argued the case today when she didn’t, and in a moment that undermines her whole case, FORGOT that Trump pulled her nomination for US Attorney a couple of months ago!
