Published: May 16, 2021, 7 a.m.

b'On this week\\u2019s episode of Legal AF (#8), MeidasTouch\\u2019s weekly law and politics podcast, hosts MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, examine Tuesday\\u2019s ruling by a Texas Federal Bankruptcy Court judge that the NRA made a \\u201cbad faith\\u201d bankruptcy filing and could not reorganize just to escape the NY Attorney General\\u2019s criminal investigation. As an added bonus, Ben and Michael discuss the flaws in the NRA\\u2019s trial lawyers\\u2019 decision to allow its client to be filleted during a 11-day trial proving just how corrupt the NRA and its leadership is, while strengthening the future criminal case brought by the NY AG. Next up, Ben a/k/a \\u201cHooded Justice\\u201d and Michael \\u201cVelvet Hammer\\u201d Popok, take on the legality (and weirdness) of Trump using Mar-a-Lago as his personal home by arguing that he is an \\u201cemployee\\u201d of the club, like the guy who cuts the shrubs or mows the grass. Speaking of insanity, the \\u201cAnalysis Friends\\u201d examine whether this year\\u2019s \\u201ctwinkie\\u201d defense \\u2014\\u201cFoxmania\\u201d \\u2014 will allow a Capitol insurrectionist to avoid jail time (spoiler alert\\u2014the answer is \\u201cno\\u201d). The podcast then turns serious with an analysis of the wrongful death suit brought by the family of Ashli Babbitt, the former Air Force veteran turned Q-Anon terrorist who was shot by Capitol Police before she could lead her angry lynch mob into the House Chamber to kill members of Congress. The hosts then have a brief discussion of possible ways for Congress to limit the jurisdiction of SCOTUS to prevent it from overturning pro-democracy voting rights legislation, without upending the 3 co-equal branches of government.\\xa0Finally, and in a speed round, Ben and Popok give the Legal AF university \\u201cstudents\\u201d what they crave\\u2014a tutorial on civil procedure, our state and federal court system, the equitable and legal power of the courts, and the differences between torts, breach of contract, and crimes. -\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
