Now it's time for the last word with Lawrence O'Donnell. Good evening

Rachel and you know I went out on my morning stroll as usual this morning and

when I got down near the courthouse I thought you know because I it's a very as you know

my morning stroll is very contemplative I don't I'm not looking at social media I'm not checking tweets as I'm crossing streets.

So I get down to the courthouse and I literally see sleeping babies in the shadow of the courthouse and I think did they cancel the

thing today is there no trump nothing today is there just nothing and and then I come around the corner into the sunny spot and I see

oh okay there they are the and I'm gonna I want to overestimate this I don't

maybe two dozen Trump supporters, maybe two doesn't, and then at least two

dozen or more, people who really couldn't be on the Trump jury because they would vote to convict before testimony.

Like they're there, you know, those people are there. And way more news media than, you know, pro or con Trump people there. It was as quiet and

peaceful a version of Foley Square and the courthouse campus area that you could ask for.

Which is weird because Trump promised on Friday that we were 72 hours away from all hell-breaking

lists.

And so maybe the hellmouth opened somewhere else and we don't know. We haven't

stumbled into it because there does not appear to have been a outpouring of Trump supporters at the courthouse for day one.

And if they were going to be there on any day, it was presumably beyond day one, right?

Yeah, day one is usually your maximum interest day in these things and when they drag on people

you know at home start to fall asleep never mind the question of whether Donald Trump

fell asleep in the courtroom today or not.

But yeah, the country is not at risk of any great uprisings.

And let's remember, protesting this was legal in all 50 states today. So if you want to say there's

only 85,000 Trump voters in Manhattan, which they are, That's how many he got.
