Summary

Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok head the top rated Legal AF podcast, and tonight discuss: Trump picking a fight he is doomed to lose all the way up to the US Supreme Court with one of the most revered judges of our lifetime -- Chief Judge Boesberg of the DC district court, over Trump's phony "wag the dog" declaration of war against Venezuela; Federal judges firing back with public statements and letter filings to shove back against Trump's attempts to abuse the Federal courts; a profile in cowardice, as a major Global law firm based in New York voted to sacrifice its hard earned reputation for ethics, honesty and good lawyering, on the alter of its greed, as it decided not to fight being blacklisted by Trump, but to give him $40 million in extorted legal services to make him go away, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.
