Meidas Touch founder Ben Meiselas and trial lawyer Michael Popok are back with a new episode of the weekend edition of the top rated Legal AF podcast. On this episode, they debate/discuss: Judge McAfee’s scathing order that allowed Fulton County DA Fani Willis to continue prosecuting Trump and others; Judge Merchan’s reasoned approach to keep the Trump NY criminal trial on track for the Spring; what to make of Judge Cannon’s handling of a subset of Trump motions to dismiss his Espionage Act/Obstruction indictment; the import of Special Counsel Hur getting caught in a lie about the President’s memory; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

Ben, Thank You!!!Thank You for calling out Judge McAfee in plain,simple obvious truth instead of more of the both sides stuff we are being forcefed by most of the media. I was witing for the shoe to fall with McAfee and I feel it fell with a thud. Thank You for some sanity 🙂
Maybe some regulations needs to be put in place regarding document handling, taking a truckload of classified documents home seem a bit "much", even for putus… just a thought
These american trials are an absolute joke stop put off delayed on again off again appeal appeal appeal wha a joke is this america or fantasy land
love u guys
Ben, I feel your RANT, mostly. People are trying to find ways to reconcile this evidentiary hearing, the judgment, and its wake. McAfee was successful! Fani earned her status, damn, she's a DA! McAfee offered her up to the defense now and in the future. Now, Wade is gone, yes, and Fani may follow. The outcome is not acceptable either, "appearance of impropriety." REALLY! We all have to accept what rolled down.
Much to do about nothing. I’m not sure why Fani’s dating history is a court issue. I also believe Fani’s statement in church should be shielded. If she was a MAN we wouldn’t be talking about this. The crap Trump has gotten away with- REALLY!😮
Been listening on podcasts for a few weeks. Love Legal AF!!!!
BEN?? MARRY ME. LMMFAOOOO!!
Tell ‘em Ben!
If our legal system is this screwed up, why don’t we get it fixed?
The judge should have insisted that evidence presented address impropriety or some kind of obstruction, instead of just allowing everything and anything into evidence. Apparently you win points if you hint that black people might have been….whatever-ing. Remember, you buy a new toilet if black people used the last one.
Trump, when sworn in he is an officer. He is the head officer of are military called the commander and chief.
Hey – in light of Cannon’s recent “engage with” ludicrous order – there is clear peril that DOJ’s responses will be used against them at trial. If the case is dismissed on the basis of the spurious PRA arguments, can the case for obstruction of justice proceed? Since only a subset of documents obtained in the search order are included in the indictment, can the DOJ refile an indictment listing different documents?
Is it possible Judge Cannon is receiving advice on how to manage this case in favor of Trump and avoiding the pitfalls of getting appealed by making the non- decisions she is.
GO FANI!!!!
Great news. Appreciate this Hot Take. 👍🏾☺️
More bullshit from the MidasBS lies and propaganda channel. Take your head out of the sand and wake up from your coma! MAGA!!
Fani willis dont need to be tsken care of by any man. She paid her half of everything her and mr wade did together. Where she got her cash was from working. She made more than wade, she didnt need to go on these trips, she wanted to go. When youre dating someone, thats what couples do. Trips, dinners etc had to be taken outside of GA because she was to well known by paparazzi and they couldnt dine in a restaurant without harassment so they took the food either home or office. They are entitled to be able to eat it whereever they want. Hell, i pick up food and take it home to eat all the time, and i dont have paparazzi chasing me down taking photos of me chewing my damn food. The court allowed questions into their sex life. WHY??? They never denied the relationship.!!! How many times they asked her about her sex life was appalling. As long as ms willis was doing her job and mr wade is what should have mattered. She always had cash where she "put her head" for protection, like her father taught her. Because she had a dad who protected and loved her. Thats been taught to her for many of years as per her dads testimony. If these 2 adults wanted to date they should be able to. The judge allowed the shenanigans of those lawyers go to far. Judge needs to learn how to be a judge as per the law, not trying to play God. And as fani said…im not on trial here, those ppl who tried to over turn a free and fair election are. No matter how hard you try to make this about who i dated for a while." Ms Willis is a class act in all aspects of her life. Now….lets get this RICO case going so we dont have to listen to deaths threats or blood baths, from trump any more. VOTE BLUE BIDEN/HARRIS 2024. SAVE DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOMS 🙏🇵🇷💙🇵🇷💙🇵🇷💙🇵🇷🙏 GREAT SHOW BENand POPOK Ben you were right on the mark tonight. 👏👏👏❤
Ben rocks!!!
Can Jack not file something outlining the need for speed for the sake of all the witnesses who have a right to a speedy trial?
The same issue would be the same if it was a parent child. But the sex made it juicy to McAfee
I am 100% with Ben!!!!!! Man he said everything I was feeling!!!
He thinks she was lied to and has 0 evidence so it means nothing. And he officially states that removing Nathan Wade should FIX all concerns. DONE now move on and should not be revisited if he said that solution was sufficient.
You want to end all this trump bullshit. Get rid of the source of the stench. Permanently!
Thank you guys are so great
