Summary

The top-rated weekly law and politics podcast, LegalAF, produced by MeidasTouch and anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, is back for another hard-hitting, thought-provoking, yet entertaining look at this week’s most compelling developments at the intersection of law and politics. Ben and Popok lead off with a detailed update of the pending and future state criminal charges led by the Manhattan DA against Trump, his company executives and cronies, including those who received last-minute federal pardons by then President Trump. Next, the Analysis Friends look at the Arizona appellate court decision to compel the Cyber Ninjas to disclose all their files as public records concerning the Maricopa County “fraud-it”. Talking about bizarre election conduct, Ben and Popok shake their collective heads about Pillow Guy’s latest misadventure of hiding from the FBI the Mesa County (Colorado) Clerk who is on the lam for having allegedly disclosed to Q the passcodes to election equipment. Then, spanning the country on a whirlwind tour of this week’s legal developments about mandatory school mask litigation, Ben and Michael explore litigation around the death-rattle of Republican governors’ executive orders banning school masks in Texas, Arizona, and Florida, and Biden’s likely response to it all, while reserving a special shout out to the Kentucky Democratic Governor and all around thinking person, Andy Beshear and his sensible school mask policy that was just invalidated by a federal judge (appointed by Jimmy Carter no less). Ben and Popok conclude the episode with a close examination of this week’s 2 potentially game-changing immigration decisions: (1) a Nevada federal judge’s finding that a law on the federal books for more than 70 years making it a felony to reenter the country once deported, is both racist and unconstitutional under the 5th Amendment and (2) SCOTUS’ decision just today to decide on a fast-track whether Biden’s ending of Trump’s “stay in Mexico” while seeking asylum policy is legal. Special Easter Egg: Popok makes Ben get up really early to record, and hijinks ensue.

0:08.6	You heard that, right?
0:10.6	Popokians, it is a fad that is taking over the United States of America.
0:17.2	People are naming their dogs and their cats after the man, the myth, the legend, the expert
0:24.8	vacationer himself, Michael Popok, who joins me on Midas Touch Legal AF as my esteemed
0:34.2	co-host every Sunday, because if it's Sunday, it is legal AF, Michael Popok.
0:42.6	What great adventures are you doing this weekend?
0:46.2	Well, first of all, thank you for that intro.
0:50.7	I am the proud, apparently puppy daddy of a new puppy that one of our Midas Mighty actually
0:57.4	named Popok, which I found remarkable.
1:02.5	I think technically, though, not to, you know, I don't like correcting you, but I think
1:05.5	it would be Popokian, because my last name is Popok.
1:09.2	But listen, I'm thrilled either way.
1:12.0	In terms of the weekend, I got bent up a little bit early this morning, because I've got
1:15.8	a schlep, that's a legal term, to the farther hinterland of New Jersey with a truck to go

1:32.4	If it's Sunday, it is Popokian and Teaking Day.

1:41.2	And Popok will become, in my opinion, basically the gangus con of the pet world.
1:48.8	And what I mean by that is I think if you trace the lineage of gangus con, his descendants
