I picked up a couple of potential Easter eggs buried within the filing by Donald Trump against Rupert Murdoch, the Wall Street Journal and its reporters for purported defamation because they reported on a 2003 scrapbook birthday 50th birthday party card thing that had a X rated card entry by Donald Trump in it right around the same period of time that Donald Trump was very good friends with Jeffrey Epstein. But buried in there are a couple of things that I think I've discovered. One is why did Donald Trump file the lawsuit in Miami and why did he avoid filing it where he could have got Judge Aileen Cannon? Again, I don't think it was an error. I don't think it was A careless mistake. I think it was done on purpose to avoid Eileen Cannon. I'm going to tell you why on this hot take. And secondly, now that it's clear that Rupert Murdoch relishes this fight, wants this fight, wants to make good on something he said three and a half years ago, which is he wanted to make Donald Trump a non person. Who is the corroborator, who corroborated, for a journalistic ethics standpoint, the 2003 scrapbook and its existence? Who gave it to the reporters they mentioned the FBI. Is it possible that the U.S. attorney's office and the lawyers prosecuting Ghislaine Maxwell, the coconspirator with Epstein and the pedophile cross girl raping ring, was also a corroborator? And on the heels of that, we've got Maureen Comey, James Comey, the former FBI director for Donald Trump's daughter who prosecuted Maxwell being fired. I'll tie it all together the only way I know how without blowing smoke or sunshine. Here on the Midas Touch Network and Legal af, I'm Michael Popak. All right, let me put on my. Well, it's easy to put on. I'm a practicing lawyer in Florida. Let's talk about Southern District of Florida practice and why I think Aileen Cannon was studiously avoided by Donald Trump because under normal circumstances, if he didn't have potential openings at the Department of Justice coming up, I'm looking at you, Pam Bondi, Attorney General and potential openings at the United States Supreme Court. He would love to have Aileen Cannon in order to get Aileen Cannon, who did him a solid and helped him out in Mar? A Lago during the search warrant, criminal prosecution, espionage act, obstruction of justice case against Donald Trump because she found for the first time in 200 years that a Department of justice attorney general can't appoint a special counsel who doesn't obtain Senate confirmation, finding Jack Smith to be invalid. Even though, by the way, side note, the Trump administration is using is using that very same statute to appoint special attorneys without Senate confirmation. So he loves Aileen Cannon. In fact, she was on the reported shortlist during the President elect transition period put there by Boris Epstein to be the attorney General of the United States. She didn't get the job. As we know now Pam Bondi got the job. Pam Bondi is not doing well, is she? Maga Universe Maga verse has turned on Pam Bondi led by Laura Looney Loomer, the social media right wing influencer that is like some sort puts Donald Trump in some sort of Trance, some sort of I love you trance because they love each other and she's, she wants Bundy gone. So there's going to be an opening off the Epstein cover up pedophile cover up by Donald Trump scandal. That's a mouthful. Soon. Yeah. So follow me. They file the case. They check the box on the civil cover sheet which of course I have a copy of that says Miami is the proper venue for this case of defamation against the Wall Street Journal because they reported on what they saw with their own eyes given to them by somebody asterisk somebody in the U.S. attorney's office in New York. And they run the story because Rupert Murdoch is taking on Donald Trump. He doesn't care what the Wall Street Journal, he cares about Fox News. And Fox News is owned and controlled by Rupert Murdoch and the Lachlan Murdoch's of the world. And so you have they checked the box for Miami not just because their lawyer Alejandro Brito is located in Miami Dade county, but because they want to avoid checking the box for where, where Mar A Lago is located, which is Palm Beach. Because if they check the box for the West Palm beach division of the Southern District of Florida, they got a one in two chance of getting Aileen Cannon because there's only three judges that sit up there regularly. A senior judge, Middlebrooks, Judge Rosenberg, Judge Cannon. That's how she got the case last time. Click. They, they checked for Pierce or they checked West Palm beach. She sits kind of a part time in West Palm, full time in Fort Pierce and they got her. But they don't want her again. Because think about the awkward scenario if in the next 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, Donald Trump has to have sent Pam Bondi a thank you for your thanks and pray, hopes and prayers, you know, please and thank you. Your services will no longer be needed. Go spend time, Go spend more time with your family. Letter. If that opening happens, think of the awkward situation of the case assigned for defamation for billions of dollars sitting in the presiding judge being alien Cannon that he now wants to flip over to be the head of the Department of Justice. Or if there's an opening during the course of this case which could last a year, especially if Rupert Murdoch isn't going to settle the case or takes a year or two to settle, then if there's an opening on the United States Supreme Court that he wants to stick. I know by the way, I'm not promoting this. I don't want this to happen. But I am not going to blow smoke or sunshine either. If there's an opening on the U.S. supreme Court. Alito and Thomas both over, you know, pushing mid-70s. Would he slide Aileen counted in there or another appellate court opening? There hasn't been many appellate court openings yet. In fact, we're six months into this administration. Donald Trump does not have a U.S. attorney confirmed yet and he doesn't have a judge position or an appellate judge position confirmed yet. Emil Bovey may change that in the next month or so, but he's not doing good on that front. On the federal judge front. You know what they say, first impressions matter. Whether I'm in court, on camera or just heading out to meet friends, looking sharp isn't optional, it's essential. And staying well groomed, that takes tools you can trust. For me, that's Harry's. I've been using Harry's for a while now, whether to clean up around my beard or when I'm clean shaven and I'm hooked. The trial set I got came with a sleek weighted handle that feels like it belongs in a high end barbershop, a five blade razor, their signature foaming shave gel and a travel cover, all delivered straight to my door. The packaging is clean and modern and yeah, it looks pretty good sitting on my bathroom counter. I keep a short beard and I like a clean shave on the neck and cheeks. Harry's gives me a close smooth result around my beard or when I shave it all off every time without the irritation and the shave gel, rich lather, fresh scent. Honestly, it's a game changer. Here's the best part. You get top quality German engineered blades, customizable refills for as low as 2 bucks and that $10 trial set, right now it's just 6 bucks. Show everyone you mean business. Get Harry's. Normally their trial set is $10, but right now you can get it for just $6 at Harry's dot com. That's our exclusive link. Harry's dot com slash legal AF for a $6 trial set. So I don't think it was an accident that Aileen Cannon was avoided. I think he's keeping her on the bench, keeping his powder dry to a pointer and have her fail up to another position. That's one. Let's go to the second Easter egg buried in the complaint and in the Wall Street Journal article that is the foundation for the defamation case is the representation by the reporters that they've seen the scrapbook and or the pasting in it of Donald Trump's X rated birthday card where he signed his name. You know, that Sharpie pen with that squiggle signature. And the squiggle signature became the pubic hair for the pornographic doodle that Donald Trump included to Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah. Which Donald Trump, of course, denies. They say that they've spoken to the f. That the FBI agents and the people responsible for the prosecution of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell saw this material. Now, I don't know if it went to the grand jury, the grand jury evidence box, but they spoke to people who saw it. They saw it, and they spoke to people who saw it in real time during the prosecution and the investigation. We know that Ghislaine Maxwell got prosecuted not by Florida, but by the Southern District of New York, where Maureen Comey was a lawyer, because she was the prosecutor for Ghislaine Maxwell, James Comey's daughter, and convicted her in front of a jury 90 of sex trafficking of underage girls and rape, you know, effectively them being raped by Epstein. So I assure you the Wall Street Journal does not run that article without having corroborating evidence and witnesses about it in. And right before the article is published, but before the article is published, the Wall Street Journal sends an email to Donald Trump and Carolyn Levette, the press secretary, and says they're going to run this article in the next couple of days. Trump jumps in and denies it. Goes on a social media rant about pile of garbage Rupert Murdoch. I'm going to sue him for everything he's worth, whatever. But they get notice sometime in there. Between the notice and the publication, Maureen Comey is fired. Now, there's no reason that was given, but if I were a speculator with some reasonable experience, hunch in me, I would say maybe Maureen Comey or somebody on her team corroborated and cooperated with the Wall Street Journal to publish that piece. Could be an ex FBI, could be somebody X in her office. But the firing of the person, she didn't get fired because she didn't convict P. Diddy of racketeering. I mean, P. Diddy is probably on his way to a pardon with Donald Trump as it is. I have no insider knowledge on that. That's just my observations as a human being and a lawyer. But on the Maureen Comey side, she successfully prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell. Ghislaine Maxwell's family's trying to lobby Donald Trump to get a pardon. Donald Trump's trying to sweep Epstein and his relationship with Epstein under the rug, as is others in his administration, including the Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, that bought the townhouse next to one of the scenes of the crime for the predator experience and lives there still in New York. Everybody in the Trump administration wants to sweep this under the rug. Pam Bondi, Donald Trump as a willing friend, colleague, wingman of Epstein during critical moments when he was also a sexual predator. And Howard Lutnick, who bought his adjoining townhouse from the Epstein Trust. I mean, this. This stinks to high heaven. So I don't think it's a coincidence that Maureen Comey was fired as Ghislaine Maxwell's prosecutor in the period between Donald Trump's team getting notice of the article and the article being published.
