About this episode
Anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, the top-rated news analysis podcast LegalAF x MeidasTouch is back for another hard-hitting look in “real time” at this week’s most consequential developments. This week Ben and Popok discuss and analyze: 1. The Supreme Court’s upcoming decision as to whether school prayer, so far banned under 60 years of precedent, will now be allowed under the First Amendment. 2. The Supreme Court’s view of whether a Texas Federal Judge can keep the Trump “Stay in Mexico” policy for asylum seekers in place or whether Biden will convince them to allow him to end it. 3. The Manhattan DA’s momentous decision to let the Trump criminal grand jury expire and what it means for the criminal case. 4. A NY state court judge siding with the NY Attorney General’s civil investigation of Trump, by refusing to find that Trump fixed his “contempt” problem to stop the $10k a day fine, and ordering Trump’s long time appraisers to turn over all of their files about his loans. 5. A new “seditious conspiracy” conviction for the Department of Justice against yet another Proud Boy. 6. Florida Governor DeSantis’ retaliation against Disney for exercising their First Amendment rights to lobby for the repeal of the Don’t Say Gay education law. 7. A new civil case brought by the DOJ against Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign manager, related to tax evasion and hiding his assets in foreign bank accounts; 8. Why Derek Chauvin has appealed, not his Federal conviction and plea deal, but the State jury sentencing him to 22.5 years in State prison. 9. Newly-discovered text messages submitted to the Georgia administrative judge considering whether to recommend that she be banned from the ballot as an “insurrectionist” between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Mark Meadows show that is a liar and not credible.
