Supreme Court Rebukes Trump in Case He Feared Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

Popok is back and providing breaking commentary on the Supreme Court denying Trump’s last-ditch final attempt to claw back $5.5 million dollars awarded by a federal jury to his sex abuse survivor, E Jean Carroll. Trump’s motion was so weak and meritless that NO member of the Court, not even the far-right members, sided with him, dealing him a 9-0 blow. Popok also puts the case into context related to the second jury verdict that Ms.Carroll holds for more than $90 million, running with interest, and what this may signal about that case and Trump’s efforts to punish her and avoid paying her in her lifetime.

Legal AF 8/15/26 Aug 16, 2026

Show notes

On this Episode of LegalAF, Ben Meiselas goes solo as Popok finishes up his summer vacation and Meiselas does a deep dive in Trump and his family running away and hiding from the legal hell they put themselves into yet again. Meiselas discusses how Trump and kids and son-in-law Jared Kushner are literally hiding and trying to duck subpoenas from the BBC for their depositions in connection with Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC. Meiselas details Trump’s DOJ running away from Katie Phang’s federal lawsuit under the Epstein Transparency Act. Meiselas also details Trump’s contrived “emergency” motions and petitions, including his petition to the Supreme Court begging to continue the construction of the White House golden ballroom as he argues he desperately needs so he can hide from assassination attempts including his fears the Iranians want to go after him with drones and ballistic missiles. Meiselas also connects Trump’s cowardly and losing legal behavior with his conduct more broadly in domestic and international affairs.

Trump & Blanche Instantly Countered as Blanche Takes Over DOJ Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

In breaking news, the first and only suit has been filed to have a federal judge declare once and for all that newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche’s grant of “immunity” to Trump, his 400+ companies and family, from being audited or prosecuted for tax evasion is illegal and a crime. Popok explains why the fight to oppose Blanche was so important as a referendum at the midterms, and how federal judges, like Judge Brinkema in Virginia, are the last firewall to protect our Democracy from Trump and Blanche’s abuse of power until the midterms.

Trump Stunned by IRS Auditors as Blanche Ghosts Him Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

Lifelong career IRS Auditors are fighting back against the DOJ and Todd Blanche, having joined a lawsuit to have a federal judge allow them to continue to audit Trump and his family and 400 of Trump’s companies, and to collect on the $100 million that Trump owes on back taxes. Popok has the inside scoop on Blanche ghosting the case and the existing audits of Trump and what Senior Federal Judge Brinkema can do about it.

Trump Backs Down as BBC Lawsuits Implodes in His Face Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

The mainstream media usually gets the headline and takeaway wrong from court developments, and they did it again with Judge Altman’s ruling about Trump’s emergency motion to stop his tax returns and financial documents for all 400 of his companies being produced to the BBC in Trump’s defamation case. Popok explains that although the Judge “granted” the motion on paper, it really signals the beginning of the end of the suit because Trump can never prove that he personally, reputationally suffered “10 billion” in damages, especially since his reputation about Jan6 and his role in the violence is incapable of being defamed!
