Should the federal trials against Donald Trump be televised?

[BULLDOG]

If it isn't televised - Trump and his attorneys will just lie and spin what goes on inside the courtroom. It should be televised.

They will lie and spin even if it is televised.

 

[Billiejeens]

Kinda like stuff that's public knowledge to anyone who reads the indictments, genius?

Yet another person who doesn't know what an indictment is.

Here is an interesting question: Would the “Founding Fathers,” were they alive today, advocate an open (today that would mean televised) trial? Would that be in the best interests of the country?

We really need to see this. I'm REALLY hoping they'll make an exception.

Why do you find that important?

 

[Billiejeens]

They will lie and spin even if it is televised.

The prosecutors.

 

[Mac1958]

And they claim this is a "partisan witch hunt".

Another reason this needs to be televised.

 

[Billiejeens]

Not for nothing.
That's not factual.

Donald Trump’s lawyer has reportedly requested this, and our very Conservative Supreme Court may eventually rule on it. I believe it is a very good idea, even though such Federal Trials are by custom not televised.

We will have millions of Americans following the important D.C & Florida cases via their favorite media “spin doctors” in any case. We have seen there is virtually no possibility of a national consensus developing this way.

But a courtroom trial before a jury is very different, since both sides can present arguments and evidence (which the Judge can control for “relevance”) and the prosecution and defense cases are not made primarily to reinforce the political prejudices of an uninformed audience, but to convince jurors who in the course of the trial will hear abundant testimony, evidence and arguments from both sides.

Whatever the trial outcome, an open televised trial in my opinion will be an important way to educate viewers.

Yes but your hanging for treason should be too.

 

[miketx]

Well, when are Trump's asslickers like Gymmy & Cummer going to come up with some proof?

When are you traitor bastards going to accept proof?

 

[CowboyTed]

Why do you find that important?

Trump and others in the GOP are trying to make out it is the Democrats that are doing this for political reasons...

But the witnesses are all Republicans...

The evidence is clear...

This is a case where a Grand Jury from Miami has looked at the evidence and the testimonies and recommended that charges be brought.

For Jack Smith not to bring a case would be more like political interference...
Trump Admin did that in his admin but there is no evidence of Biden doing that.. None... If object to that, then post some hard evidence, to the caliber of the evidence that Trump is facing....

Absolutely. Let the world see just how far down the banana republic rat hole this crap is.

Broadcast it LIVE so everyone can see corruption in action.

I want ALL sidebar action broadcast too.

 

[miketx]

The evidence is clear...

You must mean the TV.

Indeed, the whole world needs to see the total corruption of The Fat Orange Shit Giblet God/King and that of most of his administration!!

MAGA

I would love to watch it, but fear it would become a performance for the cameras.

Trump loves being on TV.

/----/ The Founding Fathers didn't have TV, but they did have a free press that attended trials, and any citizen could sit in the gallery. So, yeah, the FF would approve.

You love trump being on you.

 

[surada]

You love trump being on you.

On me? What are you talking about?

 

[miketx]

On me? What are you talking about?

You worship the god trump.

 

[Rawley]

No, but it is in the best interest of the American people. Win or lose, people need to see this, so they can see the whole picture, not just the version the left has given us.

Nope. It will be weeks of nightly "Trump is a poopy head, let's go to the video tape" from the MSM leading up to the election. Dem wet dream.

What should happen is that any trial don't get set until after the election.
