Summary

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 at the wheels of justice in “real time” as they analyze and discuss this week’s most consequential developments at the intersection of law and politics. On this week’s episode, the anchors break-down and analyze: the Special Counsel’s moving for contempt in DC against Trump related to his failure to turn over more subpoenaed documents, and his issuing new subpoenas to state and local election officials concerning Trump’s interference and fake elector scheme; the criminal felony conviction of the Trump Organization and what it means for the future and the civil fraud case; Ivanka Trump cutting a deal with the NY Attorney General to be let out of financial monitoring requirements and what it could mean for the case and Trump; the Supreme Court’s oral arguments on LGBTQ+ discrimination and whether State Legislatures can refuse to certify federal elections; and a DC appeal court considering whether Trump has full immunity from civil suit for his Jan6 speech that led to the Insurrection and the attack on the Capitol, and so much more.

Guilty, guilty, guilty. The Trump organization is convicted and found guilty on 17 felony

0:12.7

counts in New York State Court. And with it, I don't know your take, Popok, but for me,

0:19.3

it feels like the floodgates are open on Trump's criminal liability in other proceedings as

0:26.8

well-end by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office on other matters. The Department of Justice

0:33.4

Criminal Investigations of Donald Trump are heating up under Special Counsel Jack Smith,

0:40.4

the Department of Justice under Jack Smith's leadership, even filed a motion for contempt

0:47.6

in the secret grand jury proceedings before Judge Barrel Howell, who's overseeing the

0:54.4

criminal grand jury's investigating Trump's crimes. Although the court ultimately denied the

1:00.5

contempt motion, we'll explain right here on legal AF why that is not a win for Donald Trump,

1:08.1

and let's talk about the likely strategy, the aggressive, newest strategy being deployed by the

1:14.2

Department of Justice behind that motion for contempt. The Supreme Court heard oral argument in two

critical cases that we will talk about on this weekend's edition of legal AF, 303 Creative

radical extremist, independent state legislature doctrine or theory, which would essentially hold

2:00.2

that state legislatures can do anything they want with federal elections regardless of the

2:08.1

state courts and the state constitutions, even though the state constitutions create the legislature.

2:14.8

I don't even think the right wing extremists are fully buying this, but the fact that they even

2:19.9

heard this case is something that is really, really frightening. Ivanka Trump entered into a bit

2:26.8

of an odd deal with the New York Attorney General's office this week in the Attorney General's

$250 million fraud lawsuit against Trump, the Trump Organization, and his adult children,
