Talk about this case because this is actually the case that's going to happen.

I think that's right and again I do think it gets short shrift because the facts are so

salacious and it's so serious but it is a species of election interference and Alvin Bragg has consistently

talked about it in that tenor that this is like the lead up to what we see on

January 6th it's the dress rehearsal keeping information from the voting

public in order to maximize or optimize your chances for election and again to do

anything to win and you see that again happening on January 6th.

So again, I think the two cases actually run together and we dismiss or poo-poo this case to our Dutch

.

Even though we have had a thousand and one would be authoritarian leaders in this country, guys who

imagined and plotted and promised an overthrow of the U.S. system of government, we have never

before had someone with that ambition who also has the use of one of our two major

political parties to get him there. And so it's a different kind of danger, right?

I mean it's a different kind of danger, right? I mean, it's a different kind of danger. It's dangerous because it means the power and the institutional heft and the legitimacy of a massive American political institution is now being brought to bear on this project.

That has always before now been, yes, radical and worrying and sometimes quite violent, but it wasn't

going to win.

What has always been a fringe project before now, in America today if the polls are to be believed, it's now a cause and a candidate that is likely to win.

And it's not because the American people have never heard that sales pitch, right?

It's not because we, the American people, have never heard that sales pitch, right? It's not because we the American people have never heard

the siren song of a guy proclaiming the virtues of a new America

where there's finally a man in charge

and nothing's gonna get in his way.
