Trump Screws Himself as Scheme Blows Up in His Face
Did Trump just compromise our national security by having to tell China this week that it has been spying on it and discovered former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s “AOL” emails on Chinese servers, before Indicting Bolton? And Did Trump just cover up blowing a surveillance operation over China by announcing new “maximum tariffs” against China blowing up the Stock Market, all to allow him to vindictively prosecute one of his political enemies? Popok makes sense of all of Trump’s bizarre behavior today and his willingness to stop at nothing to make a critique pay.

Appeals Court makes Decisive Ruling on Trump’s Chicago Invasion
In Breaking News, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked Trump’s deployment of Federalized National Guard Troops on the streets of Chicago and the rest of the state, ordering them to remain in their barracks until they have had a chance to consider Trump’s appeal. Triggered by the ruling, VP JD Vance took to the airwaves to promote the use of the Insurrection Act, as Stephen Miller’s phony law firm “America First Legal” asks to file a brief to support Stephen Miller’s own policies. Michael Popok looks at the new ruling and how federal trial courts are ruling against Trump by citing to the Founding Fathers and Framers, and warning Americans that Trump poses an existential threat to our Republic.

Trump Gets Publicly Shamed as He Gets Quickly Rejected
Trolling Trump and rejecting him with a pointed message of what a peacemaker really looks like is not beneath the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, as they release the emotional phone call made to the true winner, Maria Corina Machado, the exiled opposition leader of the “election-denying” Jan 6-like coup in Venezuela. Michael Popok brings the receipts with the poignant phone call from the Committee to Ms. Machado, and in that call Popok sees the reason that Trump will NEVER will the prize, as he moves closer to indicted international war criminal than a peace prize recipient.

Trump DOJ Put in Their Place as Arraignment Goes Horribly
Former FBI Director James Comey court arraignment on perjury charges was such a disaster for Trump and his Insta-Prosecutor US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan, that the proceeding left her, according to witnesses, “rocking back and forth in her chair and nodding”; as 2 North Carolina prosecutors had to be imported in at the last minute to handle the arraignment when NO career prosecutor in Halligan’s own office would help her! Michael Popok puts on his court clothes to dissect what just happened, including Trump chickening out on “perp walking” Comey, and how the judge setting a trial less than 3 MONTHS from now works to Comey’s advantage.

Legal AF Full Episode - 10/11/2025
Is Lindsey Halligan, Trump’s latest flavor of the month, gunning for Pam Bondi’s job as Attorney General? And how much longer can a Bondi squint, scoff and roll her eyes in Senate Judiciary Committee meetings and still keep her job? How are Biden appointed judges viewing the deficient on their face indictments of Former FBI Director Comey and AG Leticia James? Did Trump just tell China we ware spying on them in order to indict his political critic John Bolton? Is Trump’s DOJ helping Ghisilaine Maxwell with her writ of Habeas Corpus filing to get out of jail now that she’s lost at the Supreme Court? Will the MAGA Supreme Court chastise federal judges who are trying to protect states from Trump’s using of a standing army to punish Blue States and political rivals, or preserve our system of federalism and states’ rights? Ben and Popok make it make sense on the #1 rated Law and Politics Podcast, Legal AF.
