Welcome to the midweek edition of Legal AF.

Got three hot topics for today.

We're going to first kick it off with the Manhattan DA's office.

It's getting hot in here and it's getting hot in the Stormy Daniels special grand jury indictment.

Michael Cohen, according to his own reporting, is going in for number 16, 16 visits.

He says he's had overtime with the Manhattan DA's office.

He went in today on Wednesday for number 16 and it's obvious he's being prepped and primed to testify before the special grand jury about Stormy Daniels.

Who better to talk about Stormy Daniels than Michael Cohen who's already testified that the whole plot was hatched in the Oval office with him and Donald Trump to pay off Stormy Daniels $130,000.

So there's only two witnesses.

Well, there's three.

Donald Trump, Alan Weiselberg, who cooked the books about the payment and Michael Cohen.

And so we have that testimony.

Michael Cohen, as long as we're at Manhattan and Manhattan DA, old stomping grounds for my coworker, Karen Friedman,

let's talk about Mark Pomerantz, former special prosecutor of all things Trump and his new memoirs out, craps on Alvin Bragg,

but he also sort of shades the Stormy Daniels prosecution doesn't think much of that.

And as his own particular opinion about Michael Cohen as a witness and we'll talk to Karen Friedman,

and then we'll talk about what is happening with the assault on women's rights and abortion rights in America.

And specifically the MAGA right wing has found their judge of choice.

Mark Kazmarik, the only judge sitting in Abilene, Texas, who came out of a Christian right right wing organization where he was deputy general counsel,

where he is a religious zealot, a Christian fanatic, yes, a Trump appointee, no surprise there.

And that's the, that is the court of choice when you want to challenge abortion rights.

What are they all up in arms about today?
