Michael Popak, Legal AF, the Unholy Alliance of the Heritage Foundation, and Donald Trump are at it
again. They're going to try to use the court system with filing a number of lawsuits just like they
did to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power. This time, they're going to try to stop
Kamala Harris for being on the ballot in all 50 states and for her using the $91.5 million
available to her as a war chest in the transfer of funds from the Biden Harris
campaign to the Harris campaign, which she's allowed to do.
And how is Donald Trump going to do that?
Let's expose it here on this hot take.
First of all, the Heritage Foundation months ago prepared an emergency memo, which Donald
Trump and MAGA are using as their playbook in case Joe Biden stepped down before the November election.
They titled it emergency. They plan to go after certain battleground states,
including Wisconsin and Nevada, who had very difficult ballot rules to argue that if he
stepped down, if Joe Biden stepped down, he would be forced to stay on the ballot. In other words,
there'd be somebody on the ballot that did not want to be president any longer, or they would argue that there was no person on the ballot, no Democrat
against the Republican challenger, Donald Trump, in those particular states. In other words,
their effort would try to take the four or five battleground states using arcane state law
to deny the Democrats having a representative on the ballot at all. That's their goal.
They want to make this 50 states for Donald Trump against 45 states for the Democratic candidate,
who is now Kamala Harris, the Vice President.
This has been their plan all along.
Just as Project 2025 is the blueprint for Donald Trump's first 180 days,
Heritage Foundation and its lawyers and its executive director and its general
counsel have been advising lawyers from MAGA about how to challenge Kamala Harris substituting
for Joe Biden on the ballot.
Now remember, she's already on the ballot as a vice president.
The only switch is she's going to go to the top of the ticket in those particular states.
Donald Trump's approach is two-pronged, led by the Heritage Foundation memo and strategy. One, file lawsuits and
flood the court system with lawsuits. Does this sound
familiar? This sounds a lot like what John Eastman and Ken
Chesborough and others came up with to cling to power off the
2020 election. File 70 lawsuits, seven zero in various states,
you eventually lose all of them,
but it ties up the process and mucks it up.
But we're only about a hundred days or so
away from the election.
And this is not going to work
because the chances of them either being right
about the laws of the individual states is low,
that they're gonna get a federal judge or state judge
to deny Kamala Harris being on the ballot is even lower and it won't happen before the actual election.
But they will use it as campaign fodder to try to cast Kamala Harris as being illegitimate,
to already cast dispersions against her future presidency and try to undermine it. This is their strategy to try to delegitimize and go after the Democrats before
the even election, calling the election unfair and rife with fraud before it's even been run.
As part of the strategy, besides the multiple lawsuits that they're preparing to file within
the various battleground states, including Nevada and Wisconsin and other places
that have some arcane ballot election law rules. They also had the Trump campaign file with the
Federal Election Commission, an FEC administrative complaint against the fact that Joe Biden filed
papers a few days ago to transfer the Biden-Harris campaign fund chest from Biden to Harris for president
and the $91.5 million that was in there. In other words, giving her the war chest that they together,
collectively, Biden and Harris had accumulated. Of course, under the FEC rules, the fact that
Kamala Harris's name has always been on those accounts and people
are always submitting money on behalf of two people, Biden and Harris, means that there's
not going to be a finding of a federal election commission or an FEC violation, an election
law violation.
It's totally appropriate in the case of a candidate who decides not to run to transfer
the money that's been collected from delegates
for a person who's also on the account in Kamala Harris over to Kamala Harris for president.
And it's going to take a while for the FEC to make their ruling. And through a doctrine
that's called administrative exhaustion, where you have to exhaust your administrative remedies
before you go to court, they're going gonna have to wait the Trump campaign 120 days
to see if the FEC even moves on this issue
before they can file in federal court
and argue that the FEC is moving too slow.
Now they can try to file improvidently with a court,
try to get some sort of DC circuit court,
good luck with that, federal circuit court
where they've lost time and time again
to rule in their favor and force the FEC to make their ruling. But the chances of that happening between
now and the election are approaching zero.
By now, all you legal AFers know that I'm always on the lookout for ways to strengthen
my immunity, gut health, improve my fitness and metabolism and enhance my skin and hair
radiance. Well, I recently discovered an incredible product. It's called
Armra Colostrum. Yes, Colostrum. Exactly what it sounds like. And my this is just a game changing
new sponsor that we have here at Legal AF. I love it. It's a new bioactive whole food that seems
almost too good to be true, but it's got thousands upon
thousands of five star reviews and it's life changing. These testimonials that you'll read,
if you go and look, you'll see what they are. Colostrum, as you all know, anyone who's ever
raised animals or who has had their own children knows that colostrum is the first nutrition we receive in life and contains all the essential nutrients that our bodies need in order to thrive.
Armora colostrum is a proprietary concentrate of bovine colostrum that harnesses over 400 living bioactive nutrients that strengthen the barriers of your body and fuel cellular health for thousands of research-backed health benefits.
It strengthens immunity, it ignites your metabolism, and it fortifies your gut health.
It activates your hair growth and your skin radiance, and it powers fitness performance
and recovery and confers powerful anti-aging benefits.
Armora colostrum is a premium bovine colostrum concentrate. And unlike any other product on the market,
it's uniquely optimized for human health.
It's sustainable and it was developed with the highest integrity from start to finish.
So it starts with this sustainably sourced colostrum from grass fed cows
and it's from dairy farms in the USA.
And they strictly abide by calf first sourcing, only sourcing the surplus supply of colostrum
after the calves receive their nutrients that they need. Of course that made me feel very good.
Unlike most colostrums which use heat pasteurization that depletes nutrient potency,
Armra leverages their proprietary cold chain biopotent pasteurization technology, which is an innovative process that preserves the
integrity and bioavailability of hundreds of bioactive nutrients. Armrum removes unnecessary
compounds like casein and fat to guarantee the highest potency and bioavailability of any
colostrum available on the market. So this is just an incredible new product
that we are thrilled is sponsoring Legal AF.

I don't want the audience here on Legal AF and
on MidasTouch to be distracted by again, all of these ridiculous, dead on arrival lawsuits.
Let me make a solid prediction here on this particular hot take. I don't care how many
lawsuits that the Republicans led by the Heritage Foundation emergency memo file in battleground
states, they're going to lose at the federal or state level and Kamala Harris is going to be on the
ballot. The only state that was potentially in jeopardy was Ohio because its nominating
ballot requirement was before the Democratic National Committee convention to confirm now
Kamala Harris as the leader of the Democratic Party and as
the presidential candidate.
There was about a 10-day gap, but Mike DeWine of Ohio, ironically also the home state of
J.D. Vance, is promulgating some legislation quickly that will align Ohio with the appropriate date for the Republican
confirming convention, which is going to be done virtually anyway. She's going to
get confirmed between delegates and superdelegates. She has more than enough
obviously to be the candidate and to get the war chest, the 91 and a half million
dollars that was for Biden Harris and to be on the ballots in all 50 states, including Ohio.
But we're gonna see a fusillade of lawsuits being filed,
all of them dead on arrival, tying up the court system,
using the court system, weaponizing the court system,
or to turn a phrase that MAGA uses using the law as lawfare
in order to try to convince some segment of the American
voting public that Kamala Harris and her candidacy is illegitimate, that she doesn't belong
on the ballot.
So when they lose in November, they can do what they did on Jan 6th in 2021 and try to
cling to power and argue that she is an illegitimate president who came from an illegitimate president
who shouldn't have been on the ballots and disenfranchise people. Listen to Donald Trump
talking about people in the Democratic Party, the 14 million that voted for Joe Biden being
disenfranchised. Suddenly, the savior of disenfranchisement, the savior of making sure
that people have the right to vote and their vote is respected. Donald Trump, right? That's like an arsonist becoming the captain of the fire department,
right? Or the fire marshal. And so forget all of that noise. Forget all of these arguments that
make no sense and are gaslighting that Donald Trump wants to make sure
that your vote is being respected. Joe Biden made his own decision, I'm sure influenced by outside
outside advisors, that he would not stand for reelection. Harris, Kamala Harris, vice president,
was the natural successor, both constitutionally and from a political standpoint.
And she's gonna get the money,
she's gonna get on the ballot,
she's gonna get the votes,
and all these lawsuits are just gonna waste
millions and millions of dollars of Donald Trump's own money
and of the Democratic Party's money in defending it
and making sure that she stays on the ballot.
And woe be any federal judge,
like one of these MAGA federal judges who who tries to take her off the ballot,
because then we're going to have emergency appeals and expedited appeals that may go all the way up
to the United States Supreme Court, who should, based on prior precedent, which they usually
ignore, say that these are political questions, and these people like Kamala Harris have to be
on the ballot for the American people to decide, and it's not for the courts to decide
who should be on the ballot.
I mean, they just did that for Donald Trump,
allowing him to be on the ballot,
both as an insurrectionist and finding
that he had basically immunity
and won't be putting himself through a criminal trial again
from now until November.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Time for them to rule appropriately if need be,
if it even gets up to them before November that Kamala Harris belongs on the ballot.
There's going to be lawsuits led by the Heritage Foundation and MAGA. They're going to lose.
There's going to be attempts to deny her the $91 million. They are going to lose,
nor will they be reached by election day.
