Trump DOJ Put in Their Place as Arraignment Goes Horribly 13.10.2025

Trump Indictment Instantly Crumbles Under Scrutiny 10.10.2025

Trump’s hit man Bill Pulte’s finger prints are all of the 2 count indictment in which Trump has framed NY AG Leticia James for mortgage fraud.

The Intersection with Michael Popok Full Episode - 10/7/2025 08.10.2025

A once proud US Attorneys’ Office that is both on fire and “leaks” at the same time. A resistance movement of former DOJ senior officials ban together to warn America about the Trump Administration.

The Intersection with Michael Popok Full Episode - 9/30/2025 01.10.2025

A federal judge slams the Trump Administration for trying to crush the First Amendment rights of legally in the US students and professors, in the form of a love letter to America, the Constitution and as a response to a postcard he received from a Trump supporter.
