Battle for the Soul of Democracy & the Republican Fraud Machinery
Anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, the top-rated news analysis podcast LegalAF x MeidasTouch is back for another hard-hitting look in “real time” at this week’s most important developments.

2. The Texas Supreme Court dismissing abortion providers’ challenge to SB8 abortion bounty law.
3. A Texas state judge’s decision to issue a temporary injunction to stop Governor-ordered state investigations of parents who are raising transgender children.
4. Stephen Miller’s efforts to avoid producing his cell phone records to the Jan6 committee because, among other things, he’s on his mom and dad’s family plan.
5. Mark Meadows lying about his residency in order to absentee vote in North Carolina during the last election.
6. A California federal judge’s decision to review the last batch of John Eastman’s emails to see if any are properly protected by attorney client privilege before turning them over to the Jan6 Committee, and possible criminal referrals to the DOJ for trump’s role in a criminal conspiracy.
7. The Texas Bar’s filing to begin proceedings to sanction and possibly disbar Sydney Powell.
8. A New York state judge’s decision to deny Fox News’ and their high profile commentors’ motion to dismiss the Smartmatic libel case.
9. A New York federal judge’s decision to dismiss Trump’s counterclaim against E. Jean Carroll and scathing critique of Trump for good measure.
10. A Russian-US dual citizen who has fled the country, being prosecuted by the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office for being a Russian propagandist and failing to register as a foreign agent, committing conspiracy to commit visa fraud, and lying to the FBI.
