recent bonus episode, usually only available to members. These episodes are comprised of

our crew of researchers, Amanda and myself, all getting together for a roundtable discussion

on topics that we find interesting. So here's a few minutes for free so you can know what all the fuss is about.

The thing that always gets me is that while it may be that other people who are getting away with the other people who are getting away with the same crimes that Trump is being prosecuted for,

he did them.

And it's very clear and it's very obvious.

What I think the media, bringing back to that,

has actually done a terrible job of is explaining

what he did and why it was illegal.

That's been driving me up a wall.

Yeah, he paid hush money to a porn star. That's not actually what the crime is. You need to explain to people what the fraud means. It's fraud. You got to let you got to give them more. Not everybody is in on the legal

jargon and most people probably don't even know how the law works. So I mean look they

they covered this trial like they covered any other celebrity trial right it was this

daily just like breathless coverage and they weren't even able to show any footage which made

everyone I'm sure just like lose their minds which meant more talking

heads on TV constantly, more legal analysts, just speculating and throwing shit around and just

working themselves up into a lather about what might happen, right?

Because this is the news environment we have.

Was that helpful to anyone?
