Law & Disorder: Rittenhouse, Cuomo, Trump & SB8
The top-rated weekly US law and politics news analysis 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, but entertaining look in “real time” at this week’s most compelling developments. On this episode, Ben and Popok take on:
1. The Rittenhouse Wisconsin murder case pretrial rulings leading into Monday’s trial, along with the Charlottesville trial under the KKK Act of 1871, and the Georgia criminal trial for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.
2. The Supreme Court’s oral arguments on Monday regarding Texas’ Abortion Ban (SB8), and Second Amendment/concealed carry laws.
3. Former Governor Cuomo’s arrest warrant for the misdemeanor or “forcible touching” filed in Albany state court this week.
4. The DOJ, led by Attorney General Garland and Venita Gupta, Associate AG, and its historic $88mm settlement with the victims of Dylann Roof’s white supremacy-fueled massacre of 9 members of the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC because of the FBI’s failure to do a proper background check.
5. The DOJ’s refocus on corporate crime and prosecutions based on new policy announced by Deputy AG Lisa Monaco.
6. Trump’s possible violation of SEC laws related to his “Trump Truth Social” SPAC based on recent media reports, and his efforts to keep his IRS filed tax returns, and Jan6 records out of the hands of Congressional investigators.
