Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo take the controls of the Legal AF podcast, joined by special guest Allison Gill of The Daily Beans pod, to discuss the likely results of the midterm elections, given Trump’s historically abysmal polling numbers; Trump’s calling the stone-cold killer Putin a “humanitarian”; Alina Habba’s apparent failure to do proper due diligence on the person she married, as she gets caught up in a $17.6 million diversion scheme; Allison’s perseverance in trying to obtain the nine FBI training videos used to keep information about Trump’s documents from the public in the Epstein files; the bombshell lawsuit by the New Mexico attorney general against Epstein’s closest inner circle for sex trafficking; and Trump’s giving Jack Smith yet another platform to tell the American people what a criminal Trump really is before the midterms. All that and so much more, at the intersection of law and politics.

Popok reports on Judge Ana Reyes taking on the DOJ and calling them out on the public record for the violent threats against her family and her which is "freaking" her family out, reminding them that the Framers didn't envision attacks over a golf course!
A calling card of dictatorship is attacking judges and calling for their violent overthrow, and Federal Judge Ana Reyes has had enough of judges and their families being subject to violent threats for judges doing their jobs, and she told the DOJ and the public so in a hearing this week. Popok examines what led Judge Reyes to call out the Trump Administration and its violent tendencies in court.
