Judge Shocks Trump and Reopens $1.8B Fraud Case
Yesterday00:17:06Summary ready🚨 In breaking news, Federal Judge Williams, in response to the urging of 35 former federal judges, has REOPENED the Trump v. IRS case, and has ordered that Trump and his lawyers answer whether they “deceived” the Court, committed “fraud on the court” and used the lawsuit as a phony smokescreen to settle the case and set up the “Anti weaponization” slush fund, and whether there was a legitimate case at all. Popok explains along with lawyers who have sued to block the fund, that this is a terrible result for Trump and may move one step closer to a federal judge declaring that the original suit upon which the “settlement” is based in phony.

SummaryTrump Suffers Shock Loss Over $1.8 Billion Fund
Yesterday00:14:01Summary readyA senior federal judge has issued the first injunction blocking the Trump “anti-weaponization” slush fund from being created, operated, funded, or distributing funds, for at least the next two weeks until she obtains a full briefing and holds a hearing on the matter on June 12. Popok examines the Democracy Forward filed suit and motion for preliminary injunction, and explains how plaintiffs skillfully maneuvered the Trump administration lawyers into making a confession about the fund that led to the judge issuing the injunction!

SummaryTrump Sends DOJ After His Victims
2d ago00:20:49Summary readyTodd Blanche’s DOJ is now criminally investigating E Jean Carroll, Trump’s adjudged sex abuse and defamation victim, about an issue of who paid a part of the costs associated with her lawsuit, a fact fully vetted by the trial judge and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Popok closely examines reports that Blanche, who was on Trump’s defense team against E Jean Carroll, has recused himself from the case, and explains how this is yet another loyalty test for Blanche, along with the “seashell indictment” of Comey, the indictment of the SPLC, the slush fund settlement, and other unethical acts so low that they would have made Pam Bondi blush.

SummaryTrump Stunned as Judges Declare "Fraud on the Court"
2d ago00:17:31Summary readyNothing says a federal court has been deceived and is itself a victim of fraud perpetrated by Trump and his private lawyers, his DOJ lawyers and his IRS lawyers, than 35 former federal judges banding together to implore the Court to find that the Trump/Blanche “settlement” is phony and can’t be used to distribute funds to people who beat up the police on Jan6. Popok caught a relationship between 1 of the 35 judges and Judge Williams which may prove to be the deciding factor if she decides to reopen the “Trump v. IRS” case and sanction the parties.

SummaryTrump AG Screws His Own Case...Instant Dismissal
3d ago00:23:37Summary readyPopok reports that for the second time, Acting AG Todd Blanche’s own public statements may lead to the dismissal of a criminal indictment against a Trump-perceived enemy, the US’s leading “anti-hate” investigative group, the Southern Poverty Law Center. Popok brings the receipts to show that this week’s dismissal of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s indictment by a federal judge has surely opened the floodgates to vindictive prosecution motions being filed by ALL those targeted by Trump, including Former FBI Dir. Comey and others. Magic Spoon: Save $5 OFF your next order when you go to http://magicspoon.com/LEGALAF Subscribe: @LegalAFMTN Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

SummaryMelania's Dark Secrets Finally Surface
4d ago00:19:39Summary readyIn response to a Federal Court’s new order, tHere may be a race to the courthouse, as Journalist and Epstein-Melania chronicler Michael Wolff decides whether to file first against Melania to expose her connections to Epstein in a new declaratory judgement suit, or asks the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals to grant him a deposition of Melania to try to prove she lives in New York and not with Trump in Florida. Either way, Melania’s cover-up of aspects of her marriage and residency she’d rather keep hidden may finally be coming to an end.

SummaryWhoa! Trump Judges make Shock Ruling and Block Maps
4d ago00:17:13Summary readyIn breaking news, in response to instructions from the Supreme Court, a UNANIMOUS Alabama Federal Judge panel —majority Trump appointees” has found, again, that Alabama and its Legislature has committed “Intentional Racism” in eliminating black representation in its Congressional Delegation, and blocked the use of the racist map in the upcoming election, setting it on a fast track to the Supreme Court. Popok explains what this means throughout the South for the Democrats as Judges struggle to search the record for intentional racism under the Supreme Court’s new Callais decision, and explores new reporting that Justice Alito cooked the books on voting data to support his gutting of the Voting Rights Act in the decision.

5d ago00:16:43Summary readyIn a twist of fate, the “Ballroom” Judge, Richard Leon, has been assigned to the first case filed against Trump’s $1.776 billion dollar slush fund which will no doubt end up funding white nationalists, paramilitary, terrorist, and insurrectionist groups just in time for the midterms.
