Legal AF Full Episode - 5/28/2025 May 29, 2025

Show notes

Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo return with a new episode of the top-rated Legal AF podcast. On tonight’s docket: Judge Chutkan green lights a lawsuit challenging Trump’s “tyranny” and use of Musk/DOGE, while issuing a surprise ruling involving Trump himself. A federal judge slams Trump for deporting individuals to South Sudan who aren't even from there—prompting Trump to appeal to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Harvard appears to be gaining the upper hand in its legal battle with Trump. And the scandals keep piling up, from crypto schemes to alleged pay-for-pardon deals. All this and more at the intersection of law and politics. Support Our Sponsors: Armra: Head to https://tryarmra.com/legalaf or enter promo code: LEGALAF to receive 15% off your first order!

Pissed Off Judge About to Go Berserk on Trump After Post May 27, 2025

Show notes

In response to a Federal Judge blocking Trump’s latest efforts to destroy Harvard by denying it the ability to recruit foreign students, Trump has gone another holiday rager, posting on Memorial Day that he will try to divert about $500 million dollars in funding meant for bio medical research, to trade schools presumably in Red States. Michael Popok takes a careful look at Judge Burrows' ruling, Trump’s response, and the likely outcome. Allermi: For 60% off your order, head to https://Allermi.com and use code LEGALAF.

Furious Law Firm Beats Trump to a Pulp in Major Case May 27, 2025

Show notes

The law firm of Jenner and Block, whom Trump tried to effectively give the death penalty to and put out of business because he doesn’t like their clients and lawyers, obtained ON THE SAME DAY, an injunction from Judge Bates blocking the Trump Administration from putting them out of business, and an injunction from Judge Burrows blocking Trump from putting Harvard out of business. Michael Popok provides his analysis that Trump really is a “uniter” — only emboldening courageous law firms to take on his Administration and zealously fight for righteous causes. Yes, that’s a backfire you hear in the distance… Pacagen: Get 15% OFF your order plus a special gift at https://Pacagen.com/legalaf Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

Fed Up Judge Rips Trump to Pieces as Contempt Looms May 20, 2025

Show notes

A Federal Judge —with the full support of the Supreme Court— ripped Trump’s DOJ a new one in court, and is likely about to find the Trump Administration in contempt for refusing in “bad faith” to comply with her order to detail under oath steps taken to obtain the return of Armando Abrego Garcia from an El Salvador jail. Michael Popok explains what Judge Xinis is likely to order this coming week and why as the Trump Administration doubles down on a losing hand. Miracle Made: Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!

Show notes

Ben Meiselas & Michael Popok head the top rated Legal AF podcast and tonight debate: The Supreme Court's rulings against the Trump Administration and its assault on Due Process and the Fifth Amendment and how the Court is fighting back; whether the Court will allow Trump to continue to play "catch me if you can" with his policies, or off a new oral argument put an end to it and give lower court judges the tools they need to stop Trump; Trump ruining American's perfect credit score and its impact on everyone's pocketbook, Trump going after a former FBI director to distract from a failed overseas trip, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

Trump Has Public Meltdown After SCOTUS Ruling May 17, 2025

Supreme Court Makes Major Ruling on Trump Operation May 16, 2025

Show notes

Trump just suffered his 4th loss in a row at the US Supreme Court, this time another 7-2 ruling that prevents Trump from continuing to fly undocumented people to foreign prisons without proper due process, and before the Supreme Court can ultimately rule on whether he is properly using power under the Alien Enemies Act. Michael Popok ties the last 4 losses together, and explains how this one mirrors the 1 AM ruling a month ago in the 7 justices and the 2 dissents (led of course by Alito).
