    Definitely mixed feelings.

    I really hate the idea of giving him any platform to try to turn the trial into a reality shit show. The worst thing that you can do with an attention seeking child is to give them attention.

    The flip side is transparency. The more transparency, the less opportunity for outright lies about the process. No amount of truth and reality will matter to the kool-aid chuggers, but there are still some with one foot still in reality.

      No amount of transparency will prevent his outright lies. It’s going to be a total shit show.

        Way too early for a jury, but when cameras are in courtrooms they’re not allowed to do things like show the jury, or show witnesses or evidence that the judge rules must remain confidential. Any violation and the photographer could be held in contempt.

      He’s a bitch when around anyone with any real authority. I’m for it. I want his followers to see how weak, pitiful, and guilty he really is.

          Spin it for them. It’s not that they were wrong, but rather Trump lied to them and he made them look bad.

          They would be out for blood

      It’s tough because the last few high profile cases to allow cameras in the courtroom have if anything shown that too much transparency can be a bad thing, especially when you make a spectacle out of a process that anyone who isn’t a trial attorney isn’t going to properly understand, but will certainly draw their own conclusions regardless

    Since RICO is likely part of the George indictment, we may get to see Trump/Giuliani/Powell/etc on the stand. That’ll be amazing.

    I just hope Nebraska is growing enough corn for the future popcorn needs.

    Oh dear, fair warning to all. I’ve been edging my justice boner since Trump announced his candidacy back in the olden days. I have been waiting for Trump to go to prison for the final release. If I watch any part of this trial there’s a chance the the Eastern Coast of the USA, Western Coast, Southern Coast, along with Mexico and the Northern Coast, to include Canada will be hit with a tsunami of justice semen.

    You have all been warned.

    Does anyone know why they don’t allow cameras in federal courtrooms? I’m curious if there’s a good reason for it, or if it’s one of these weird laws from a time before cameras.

      It’s hard to say. Honestly, I think the GOP is in a pinch. They want the turnout that trump affords them but they also want him out of the way as clean as possible. When MAGA people come to the realization that the GOP is trying the bait and switch, shit will really get spicy.

      Exactly this. This was a lesson learned in 1923 that we seem to have forgotten a hundred years later.

        May I ask for some context in this comment? I don’t know what happened in 1923.

    Kinda weird it doesn’t really say why. Like in practice maybe it doesn’t matter but I’m curious if this is a “in this state we always allow cameras and we’re not making an exception” ruling or a “this is in the public interest” ruling.

    I can see him quiet and pouting on camera like the little man-baby he was with Putin. And taking the 5th on everything.

    Ugh. Terrible decision. Cameras in a court room have never brought us anything but miscarriage of justice. With Trump it’s gonna be even worse.

          Giuliani is the epitome of sophomoric humor and I’m here for it. I love a good old dude trying to sneak a fart that he probably can’t hear, hair coloring sliding down his face or him going to the Four Seasons Landscaping Company instead of the Four Seasons Hotel everyone knows. It’s like a weird comedy we’re in.
