i can t speculate or tell. you know, there could be a lot of things going on here. there s one element of chesebro s demand for a speedy trial that could be helpful to the other defendants in that they would essentially get a preview of the case, if that is how this happens, if this is how it goes down. it would also be pretty challenging as gwen points out to describe a broad conspiracy with basically a relatively small bit player when you think about the overarching effort that fani willis alleges in her 100-plus overt acts. you know, fred, i want to pick up on something carol said about what is devastating about today. i don t disagree, but i think what is devastating about the mug shot isn t the image, it s the acts. and it s so many acts that led to this one mug shot. it s the six acts of alleged ....
Donald trump, there s no cause for donald trump. it s all about donald trump. it s his personal that s what i m saying. that s what is so crazy about this, it s not even about causes. it s about this one person and this cult. don t disagree. it is an angry, populist movement. trump is quite clever, quite brilliant in some ways, at reading what everyone is feeling angry about. it s the politics of aggrievement. they re prepared to tear down the temple. you don t hear anyone talk about what they d put in its place. they d tear down justice, the rest, and the energy department. that s another battlefield, if you will. they d strip away all the funding the united states does in renewable energy. again, there s a kind of, again, tear down the temple. we know what we re against. we re not going to do anything that the elitists, that the establishment wants. this has become a truly ....
