In breaking news, the first and only suit has been filed to have a federal judge declare once and for all that newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche’s grant of “immunity” to Trump, his 400+ companies and family, from being audited or prosecuted for tax evasion is illegal and a crime. Popok explains why the fight to oppose Blanche was so important as a referendum at the midterms, and how federal judges, lik...

The mainstream media usually gets the headline and takeaway wrong from court developments, and they did it again with Judge Altman’s ruling about Trump’s emergency motion to stop his tax returns and financial documents for all 400 of his companies being produced to the BBC in Trump’s defamation case. Popok explains that although the Judge “granted” the motion on paper, it really signals the beginning o...

In breaking news, Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche has tried to pull a bait-and-switch on the American People, by announcing that he is NOT rescinding the super pardon/immunity from tax liability and criminal liability to Trump, his family, and his more than 400 companies, but that he believes he has the votes of MAGA Senators to be confirmed nonetheless. Popok explains how the obvious quid pro quo between Trump and Blanche o...

Popok, using his compliance expertise, does a deep dive into how Capitol One’s public disclosure that the Trump Family and there 300+ bank accounts were fired as customers for suspected “money laundering” or “terrorist financing” is the likely result of dozens of federally mandated “Suspicious Activity Reports” required by federal law, triggered by individual transactions in the Trump accou...

Yet another reason Blanche is shedding votes at a high rate of speed is that he refuses to stand at a podium and protect sitting federal judges from violent attacks, and the silence of Blanche and Trump is deafening. Case in point the attacks on Judge Williams who issued her historic ruling cancelling out the Jan6 fund for bad faith. Popok interviewed 2 sitting federal judges, including Judge Esther Salas who’s son Daniel wa...

Todd Blanche’s nomination may be on the thinnest of ice, but that hasn’t stopped him from pissing off another Federal Chief Judge who he wants removed from a case about the firing of a US Attorney but won’t say the likely reason why (Hint: he’s an Obama appointee!). Popok provides analysis about the ongoing saga about the firing of US Attorney Roger Rogoff and Chief Judge Bastian’s new order reminding...

There is no “personal advisor” to Trump that is interfering with Blanche’s Senate Judiciary Committee vote as Sen Tillis conjures up. The quid pro quo for Blanche to get the nod from Trump was most likely the “super pardon” release that Blanche unilaterally granted Trump and his family from audit and tax liability, even criminal liability, the day AFTER the Jan 6 fund was created, and Trump won’t...

In breaking news and with exquisite timing, DC US Attorney Jeannine Pirro has had to not only move to dismiss the indictment against Olympic Cyclist Davey Hearn for “malicious destruction” of the Reflecting Pool’s liner by finally admitting that the project failed because of shoddy workmanship, not because Davey touched the liner, but she threw the Department of the Interior AND Trump under the bus in her filing....
