There was also maintain what was called an enemy's list, which is rather expensive and continually being updated

Immaculate! Why would we come like it instead?

Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?

The women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having a margin!

On January 6th of 2021, you had tens of thousands of people peacefully protesting.

So, that's not right, we didn't spare any fear of not killing on! It's real!

I'm Rick Wilson, and this is the enemy's list.

Our guest today on the enemy's list for this very special indictment day podcast is the Great Harry Litman, former federal prosecutor, a man who knows his way around the law and a way around the legal challenges that are facing Donald Trump right now.

It is an honor to have you with us, my friend. Thank you so much for joining us today, and I wanted to lead out by asking for your perspective on this trial.

People were calling this the most important trial in American history.

Where do you stack this? Where do you see this? How consequential this moment is and how important this is for the future of the country?

And I was one of them, you kind of check yourself, am I being hyperbolic?

But let's just start with it's clearly the most treacherous conduct by alleged of a president in our history, that's for starters, and then get to the nature of the treachery,

which was literally a plan to upend democratic rule and the kind of Senate can on, can I say that on an enemy's list?

The principle of the peaceful transfer of power, and so the enormity, the gravity of the case I think is second to none.

But then you position it and this would be you know this way better than I, but the way it now plays out in this diptitch with the whole political drama and the possibility of a, you know, perverse and horrifying kind of nullification of the whole thing.

So that the stakes, you know, couldn't be higher. It seems to me and that gravity couldn't be higher. I thought carefully before pulling the trigger on that statement, because I did, I did make one of those and the op-ed I wrote when it came out.

Yeah, I'm more than prepared to defend it. It's the most important trial in the history of the country.

So as we've seen sort of the initial, the initial lines of defense that Trump's lawyers and Trump's allies have been putting out in the last 24 hours, they're really relying very, very heavily on a first amendment defense.

I'm saying even if he was lying, even if he was wrong, he believed these things and therefore had a perfectly protected right to say all of them. Explain to the audience why that defense is resting on a fairly thin read.

It's, I would say it's a sort of non-existent read. It's so, it's so simplistically wrong and one wonders. I mean, there are some who are boasting saying the same breath is saying, oh, but I haven't read the indictment, you know, two basic points.
