Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose Trump’s stunning break with The Federalist Society – the conservative organization that delivered him 80% of his judicial nominees, including all three Supreme Court justices. They examine Trump’s nomination of Emil Bove, his criminal defense lawyer with zero judicial experience, to a lifetime federal appeals court position after Bove reportedly told DOJ staff to ignore court orders. The hosts explore Leonard “Sleazebag” Leo’s billion-dollar dark money empire and why Trump turned on his most reliable judicial pipeline simply because two judges ruled against his tariffs. A shocking look at how Trump’s demand for personal loyalty over constitutional fidelity threatens judicial independence when even the most conservative legal establishment isn’t corrupt enough for him.
