128 Judges Demand Disciplinary Proceedings for Trump Lawyer Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

Popok reports on 128 Former State and Federal Judges banding together again to call for bar disciplinary proceedings to commence against one of Trump’s Top Lawyers, the Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival, who in social media posts put a target on the back of Judges by calling for their “removal” and calling them the “worst of the worst”. In 2026 alone, more than 402 death threats against the Federal Judiciary have occurred, representing more than 10 percent of the total federal bench. And it's not just FORMER judges who are speaking out; current federal judges with great personal sacrifice are speaking out as well, and Legal AF is there for it.

Legal AF 8/20/26 Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

The Legal AF pod is back helmed by Popok and KFA and covering breaking law and politics news including major developments in the Former FBI Dir. James Comey criminal case which seams to be flimsily supported by talk show and fictional novel clips; the ballroom case at the Supreme Court as Trump tries to outrace the courts; the Kennedy Center naming case, as Trump pressures his own Board to put his name even bigger on the building; and new revelations that Trump’s female staffer that is closer to him than anyone has refused to be interviewed for security clearances, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

Trump Adds Novels and TV Clips to Case Against Comey in Effort to Strengthen Indictment Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

When your criminal indictment and decision to prosecute against a political critic of Trump, Former FBI Dir. James Comey, comes down to (a) excerpts from his fictional novel; (b) his appearance on Late Night television; and (c) and email from a disgruntled cousin, it may be by very definition an admission of prosecutorial misconduct to justify the dismissal of the case. Popok takes a close look at the new filings.

Show notes

Is DC Fed Judge Sullivan on the verge of granting summary judgment to Katie Phang in her case against AG Blanche and order not only the production of MILLIONS of unseen Epstein documents including those tied to Trump but as importantly assign a former federal judge to serve as special master to review the DOJ’s prior production and ensure the millions of documents are produced properly this time around. Popok, with some insider knowledge from Katie’s lawyer Brendan Ballou, thinks that is exactly what is going to happen next!
