Building. Likely some of the same Law Enforcement officers who were out today providing protection for trumps appearance were also called upon on january 6th to defend the peaceful transfer of power from a Violent Mob Of Trump supporters. Brought there by the man who today was called on by a Magistrate Judge to answer to the four charges against him. Sitting just feet away from trump, as he entered his not guilty plea, was special counsel jack smith. The last time the two were in the same room was trumps previous arraignment in miami.
