Trump’s former CEO Allen Weisselberg is going to jail again for lying under oath about Trump’s assets, which undermines any chance Trump had of using Weisselberg to help him out at next week’s criminal trial. Michael Popok explains how Weisselberg’s sentencing today may also lead to sanctions for Trump’s lawyers’ Habba and Kise, and why the Manhattan DA didn’t ask for a longer sentence than 5 months and gave Weisselberg a break in advance of the next trial.

The LAST argument made by Special Counsel Jack Smith to the United States Supreme Court to argue that Trump has NO IMMUNITY FROM CRIMINAL PROSECUTION, may be his strongest and the one the Court embraces. Michael Popok dives deep and explains how the Special Counsel has built a circuit breaker into his brief to make sure that the Court doesn’t dismiss Trump’s indictment.

Trump has just SUED JUDGE MERCHAN by filing an “Article 78” case in the appellate court to desperately try to stop his 15 April business fraud criminal trial. Michael Popok compares this to Trump’s losing effort last fall TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING against the civil fraud judge Judge Engoron, that resulted in the appellate court rejecting the stay and Trump quickly dismissing the suit. Same defendant, same trick, same result. Head to https://TryFum.com/legalaf and use code LEGALAF to save 10% off when you get the journey pack today! Visit https://meidastouch.com for more!

Meidas Touch founder Ben Meiselas and trial lawyer Michael Popok are back with a new episode of the weekend edition of the top rated Legal AF podcast. On this episode, they debate/discuss: updates in the first Trump criminal trial starting 15April, with the Judge reinforcing his gag order; denying Trump’s latest effort to delay the trial on “immunity” grounds; and setting a trap for Trump in allowing him to file motion to recuse/disqualify based on the Judge’s daughters professional life; Trump having all sorts of nightmare issues related to his $175 million dollar “bond” with the bonding company owner not being able to keep his mouth shut and giving interviews, the bond showing that the bonding company does not have enough in surplus cash to back the bond, and the NYAG requiring Trump and his crony’s bonding company to “prove” the bond in Court; whether the Special Counsel moves now against Judge Cannon to get her before her appellate bosses at the 11th Circuit and seek her reassignment from the case based on her latest “clear error” which could help Trump gain an acquittal with no chance to retry him; Georgia Judge McAfee denied Trump’s attempt to dismiss the Georgia criminal conspiracy indictment under 1st Amendment grounds, but why did the Judge allow Trump to raise the first amendment issue again at trial?, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

The bonding company owner that posted Trump’s $175 million bond in New York against the $465 million civil fraud judgment JUST ADMITTED THAT his company is violating ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING and “Know Your Customer” laws because he DOES NOT KNOW THE SOURCE OF TRUMP’s cash collateral. Michael Popok examines the new bond just filed by a company controlled by a Trump donor, and why the UNAUDITED and stale financial statements filed by them in the case raise new questions about their SOLVENCY that Judge Engoron will hold a hearing about later this month.
