The Georgia trial of Donald Trump on charges he conspired to overturn the 2020 election will be televised and livestreamed, according to the Fulton County Judge.
The Georgia trial of Donald Trump on charges he conspired to overturn the 2020 election will be televised and streamed live, according to Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee.
McAfee issued an order Thursday stating that all court proceedings involving Trump and his 18 co-conspirators will be broadcast via a television pool. The Fulton Co. Courts’ YouTube channel will stream the trials live.
In addition, the judge ruled that reporters will be allowed to have computers and cell phones inside the courtroom, as long as they don’t record the proceedings.
I mean, I suppose that's good, but it feels like his ego doesn't need the attention. He's going to try to find a way to make it part of his campaign, and his supporters are going to eat it up.
Yea, it’ll be like with Alex Jones. Even if he has the ability to not act out or lie in court he still would in hopes of playing to his base and will hurt his case.
What, you think his base is going to believe "The Media"? This is fantastic for him. It gives him the same kind of attention he got in the lead up to the 2016 election, and won him the election.
This will only be a dumpster fire where people who hate him will get to lounge in their schadenfreude, and the people who love him will get to martyr him with all the conspiracy theories they'll come up with to explain away his guilt. The only people who will suffer will be the people who want this clownshow to end for good.
That might be good too though. Like if a bunch of unreconstructed Trumpers vote Trump in the next election, and he's either jailed or not the candidate... that paves the way for a pretty easy Democrat victory.
His age and drug habits would make that a terrible move, on top of the fact he literally cannot shut up. If he had good lawyers, there would be no possible way in hell they would physically allow him to take the stand even if he insisted on it.
Luckily for anyone rooting against him, he has truly terrible lawyers that know they're probably not getting paid at the end of this either way.
I can't remember which investigation it was while he was president, but the lawyers argued he's too dumb or incompetent to be deposed without perjuring himself. Eventually they agreed to 10 questions written and he was allowed lawyers with him to answer.
Any good lawyer will tell the court he isn't testifying and try to keep trump from talking in and out the court.
First hour and last hour of the trial are going to be the only interesting parts unless he fires his lawyers and takes the stand against every sensible bit of legal advice in the entire legal profession.
There’s no way I’ll watch a single second of that shitshow. I’ll check next day news on the bullet points. That fuckstick isn’t getting one second of viewership from me.
