    The suit by the Sandy Hook Elementary school parents against Remington, and it’s efforts to cause the parents more pain in the discovery process

    McCarthy’s underhanded attacks on the credibility Jan6 select committee by threatening telecom companies, and whether his actions are a federal crime and an ethics violation. 

    Update on DeSantis’ continued efforts to undermine student health by appealing the judge’s ruling finding his school mask ban illegal.

    President Biden’s efforts to assist the victims of 9-11 and their suit against Saudi Arabia by declassifying FBI files on the link between the Saudi government and the hijacker l-terrorists, 

    And the usual collection of GQP Shamans, Charlatans Conspirators, and so much more.

  • 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.
