The most important legal and political events of this week are broken down by Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok the founders of the top rated Legal AF podcast. This week, the anchors take on: 1) Trump's firing anyone that suggests that his failed economic policies are failing; 2) Trump scarring the White House the way he scarred the Capitol on Jan 6, and wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to do it; 3) an appellate court is about to strike down all of Trump's tariffs; 4) updates in the Epstein Pedophile Scandal, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

Trump Hit with Instant Karma for Awful Plan
Trump-enomics may have just crashed the economy, as new revised job numbers show that Trump and his economic team have been lying to the American people about job growth— with new numbers showing that almost 260,000 LESS jobs were created by Trump in May and June than he previously reported. And Manufacturing supply chain managers have stopped buying inventory. Trump response: call for a Federal Reserve coup to take over the Fed, and cut rates, yet another Coup-moment for Trump. Michael Popok puts on his Wall Street hat to report.

Trump Gets Ripped to Shreds on Tariffs by Appeals Court
Trump’s Tariff scheme and fictional “trade deals” will go up in flames and soon, based on the heavy skepticism shown by most of the judges of the Trump defense of his “tariff power” at a hearing before the full 11 judges of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.Or as one one succinctly put it “there is no mention of the word ‘tariff’ in the emergency power statute you rely on!’” Michael Popok gives an overview of the oral argument, and when Trump may have to start refunding billions of dollars of fraudulent tariffs.

Trump Lawyers Kill Their Own Careers with Latest Move
Just days after Chief Judge Boasberg threatened to refer DOJ lawyers to bar grievance committees for disciplinary proceedings for lying to him, AG Pam Bondi, in an act of cowardice, had an underlying in her office file a complaint against Boesberg to have him removed from a high profile case related to Trump’s abuse of power based on something that allegedly happened 4 months ago, using a manufactured story run on Fox News. Michael Popok catches the lies in the judicial complaint and runs it all to ground on his latest hot take.
