Trump Gets Ruling He Feared in Appeals Court

Trump’s own DOJ filed a new brief with the Supreme Court that explains to the world why Trump’s OWN coverup of the Epstein predatory sexual behavior is so wrong, but could also lead Trump to pardon Epstein’s co-conspirator G. Maxwell. Popok looks at the new DOJ filing, which puts a lie to Trump’s “nothing to see here; boring stuff” approach to scandal management, as Jim Comey’s daughter leaves office by calling Trump a “tyrant.” Fatty 15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to https://fatty15.com/LEGALAF and using code LEGALAF at checkout.

Dina Doll and Lisa Graves guest host the top-ranked law and politics podcast Legal AF and break down this week’s most explosive legal and political developments at the intersection of law and democracy, including: 1) the latest Epstein chaos, as the DOJ fights a major appeal while internal turmoil erupts with ethics-related firings and resignations; 2) a dramatic update out of Los Angeles, where a judge halts Trump’s ICE operation, triggering an emergency appeal and a sudden move by Trump to pull federal troops; 3) Trump’s escalating effort to purge federal appointees—including a push to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell—as the Supreme Court hands down a shocking ruling on mass federal firings; and 4) new developments in the Abrego Garcia case, where the courts continue to push back against Trump-era abuses of power.

Michael Popok at The Intersection, as he takes on and takes down: 1) Trump, his close Epstein relationship and now MAGA now suspects that Trump is IN the covered-up files, and is not dismantling the deep state and chasing this conspiracy because he is "soft" on pedophilia and protecting Children; 2) scandal-scarred AG Pam Bondi leading a brain-drain at the DOJ enabled by the Supreme Court, as 70 Trump DOJ lawyers have quit rather than defend his policies in Court, and Bondi has fired another 2 dozen senior lawyers and replaced them with partisan hacks; 3) Trump lackey and former criminal defense lawyer Emil Bove may not be getting that coveted appeals court seat after all, as Senator Corey Booker calls for the whistleblowers to come forward and testify against Bove; 4) Trump-enomics is failing, as Americans suffer with much higher prices on everything, as Trump warps his economic policies by being beholden to the Crypto industry, and so much more at the intersection of law, politics and the defense of our democracy.

Who says there is no proof that Trump’s DOJ senior leadership told its lawyers to tell federal judges to go “f’ themselves” about Trump’s deportation and removal activities?, After the DOJ’s Emil Bove denied in his appeals court judge confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee that he uttered those words, the whistleblower found real time texts that prove that he did and threw Pam Bondi under the boss for good measure. Michael Popok explains that if this doesn’t tank Bove’s appeal court nomination, it will certainly catch the attention of Chief Judge Boasberg and Judge Xinis who were on the receiving end of the “f u”.
