I attended the Trump trial this week in the Manhattan courthouse and there's no substitute for being there in person.

You can read about something, you can even watch it at times on TV, not this trial, but you can

watch something on TV, but it's not quite the same as being there in person. The atmosphere, even the smells in this case

literally the smells in a dingy third-rate courthouse that looks like it comes from the

third world. But even just the effect of the jury, the atmosphere created in the courtroom, the demeanor

and the dynamic between the judges, the prosecuting attorneys and the defense attorneys, between

having a former president of the United States and likely future president sitting in that seat as a defendant

and myself to be there in the breaks and otherwise with what was happening in the dynamics of that courtroom

and outside with the media, it was interesting.

I'm going to tell you about my experience in the courtroom, but more importantly, we're

going to get to the heart of what the heck is actually going on in these multiple prosecutions against Donald Trump.

And the moral of the story is, it has nothing to do with Donald Trump.

It has to do with you.

It has to do with us, with every one of us as Americans. It has to do with why our founding fathers

fought a revolution 250 years ago. That's really what's at stake here. But I find that

Republican politicians often hover at the level of

standard talking points, repeating themselves time and again you don't need more of that.

So what we're going to do is actually go into some level of depth, some level of detail to get into the essence of

what's actually going on and then on the other side emerge with a stronger understanding

of what's actually at stake and why this matters, not just

to Americans who follow politics, not just to Republicans or Democrats, but to every

American who cares about living in a self-governing constitutional republic where they are free and bound by the same standards of law.
