that's at least two of us...very, very smart guy. superb tactician, and, pretty certainly, a brilliant strategist as well.
what I'm worrying about now is the whole issue of how important it is for the thing to be televised. there are, I think, lots and lots of fence-sitters (hard as that is to believe) who'll find the whole thing pretty easy to dismiss if they can't see it with their own eyes. if it's up to Roberts, I can't imagine he'll come through.
or am I being hopelessly naive about the fence-sitters?
I don't know anyone in disagreement about televising it. The individual judge can approve it. And yes, we all need to see it. Everybody. Literally the Trial of the Century.
To quote Joyce Vance, 'Finally, cameras in the courtroom. Chief Justice Roberts could ensure these proceedings were made publicly available. He can order that there be cameras in the courts.'
Hi, TC. Looks like you and Neal will have to talk to the Chief Justice if there is to be tv and other visual coverage of the USA's criminal case v. Trump, so that Americans can watch the trial.
I do not think that an individual judge can approve media coverage of a federal criminal trial.
'Electronic media coverage of criminal proceedings in federal courts has been expressly prohibited under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 53 since the criminal rules were adopted in 1946. Rule 53 states: "[e]xcept as otherwise provided by a statute or these rules, the court must not permit the taking of photographs in the courtroom during judicial proceedings or the broadcasting of judicial proceedings from the courtroom." (UnitedStatesCourts) See link below.
I agree that it is important that the trial be televised. If for no other reason than to assure the ease of fact-based reporting being able to show video clips of key testimony. IтАЩm not sure how many of the fence sitters have the time or care enough to watch the actual trial, but hope that they will at least be exposed to important clips.
I am not a fence sitter, but I donтАЩt think my mental health will survive me watching more of that vicious clown. I saw his crimes in real time. Televise if he can be gagged. I would love to watch him one more time, in orange with cuffs on.
I am in awe of Jack Smith!

Thanks Fern - other people (like Neal Katyal) have said the individual judge can also.
Tom Cleaver and Neal Katyal, a powerful team, that I have a great deal of respect for. Thank you!

I'm sure someone will, Fern. :-)
I'd like to overhear that conversation! : o )
