To combat another terrible news cycle for Trump, he had his DOJ finally get around to filing their “emergency” appeal through the dreaded Shadow Docket to the Supreme Court to try for the 3rd time to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her 14-year tenured position so that Trump can gain control of the Fed’s rate-setting mechanism. Michael Popok takes a hard look at the new filing, including its reliance on Trump’s criminal immunity decision and its ignoring the Supreme Court’s decision in May that protects Lisa Cook from just such a firing.

Trump FBI Director in Shock as Meidas Video Exposes Him in Hearing
If you thought embattled FBI Director Kash Patel’s grilling to within an inch of his life at the hands of the Senate Democrats was bad, it just got worse for him during his cross-examination by Rep Ted Lieu in the House about the Epstein Coverup Scandal. And a key piece of evidence used by Rep Lieu to grill Patel may look familiar— the Legal AF interview of journalist Michael Wolff and his observations about what he saw in Epstein’s apartment that the FBI should have grabbed during a search warrant execution. Michael Popok reports on his latest hot take.

Trump Hit Hard amid Disaster Lawsuit
The NYT has already fire back at Trump and scoffed at his $15 billion dollar defamation suit by publishing a new expose just hours after the suit was filed, accusing Trump, his family and closest advisors, of allowing military grade AI computer chips to be sold to the United Arab Emirates, a close China ally, but only in return for UAE investing $2 billion dollars with Trump’s cryptocurrency company to benefit Trump, his family and closest friends. Michael Popok takes a look at the Federal lawsuit and the quid pro quo exposed by the New York Times in response.

Add Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to a growing list of Trump Cabinet members who have the exact same multiple mortgage issue that they claim is fraud when trying to frame Fed Reserve Board of Governor Lisa Cook! Michael Popok looks closely at the new revelations that Bessent took out $21 million in mortgages and checked the same boxes Lisa Cook did, while he has called for her to step down, calling her actions “fraud.”
