Legal AF's Michael Popok given an urgent briefing to update on today's breaking developments: 1) President Biden is our best Lame Duck President, using his pardon and clemency power, federal judge confirmations, and hundreds of billions in final spending, to Trump-proof democracy; 2) the Gaetz ethics sex scandal report is out, and should deprive Gaetz of another opportunity to run for office again, as he holds out for a Trump pardon; 3). China, not Trump, decided whether the government funding bill to keep the Government open through March would pass, and its all because of Musk; and 4) Trump's unstable threatens to buy or take over Greenland and the Panama Canal, only make us more susceptible to a likely attack by our enemies.
