    Trump New Press Sec Under Criminal Scrutiny

    In breaking news, the first (of many) bar complaints have been filed against Trump’s 24-hour press secretary Katie Zacharia, not for the crime against humanity that was her first press conference, but potential crimes in violation of California law for practicing law without a license and holding herself out to be a licensed lawyer when she wasn’t. Popok is on the case with his latest hot take. Select Quote: Get the right life insurance for you for less at https://SelectQuote.com/legalaf today!

    Trump’s Own Judge Just Buried Him…

    Why did a Trump-appointed judge, in the midst of a First Amendment ruling against Trump and in favor of CNN/MSNOW/Politico, feel compelled to throw Trump and his enablers a bone to argue that the press is unfairly critical of him? Popok does a deep cut about Judge Kelly’s order and the door he left open for Trump while ruling for the Free Press.

    Trump DOJ Haunted by Failed Lie Detector

    Did the DOJ, which is notorious for using false evidence, testimony, and affidavits to obtain indictments and search warrants, including ones that are supported by witnesses who fail lie detector tests, use weak or false evidence against Rep. Ilhan Omar to convince a federal magistrate to issue a search warrant to raid Rep. Omar’s DC home?  Popok examines prior cases in Minnesota, Illinois, Missouri, and Atlanta, and how lying witnesses and ones that fail lie detector tests, like Kurt Olsen, come back to haunt Trump’s DOJ.  Boxie: For a limited time, save up to 40% off your order when you head to https://Boxiecat.com/legalaf Subscribe:  @LegalAFMTN   Pre-order the new book from MeidasTouch, WTF America?!: The Way Out of This Hell and Back to Democracy, today: https://bit.ly/wtfamericayoutube Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!
