fighter jets in the uk, air defense systems in germany. the u.s. which over the course of the last decade had started to shift away from europe very much doubling down, really surging a troop and equipment presence in this continent. to a degree you haven t seen since the cold war, and it underscores what has happened just over the course of the last six months. and it underscores the u.s. view and the u.s. effort over the course of those six months to really bring the alliance as close together as they possibly could to try and ensure that it was compatible not just for this moment but also going forward, and really rallying the members of the alliance and now two new future members of the alliance to bring their own commitments into play as well. there is no question about it, what president puntdtin has donn ukraine, twwhile there is no near-term solution for that and obviously it is a catastrophe in every way we re watching it play out on screens, from a long-term perspective nato
up to that point. she said the president looked out at the crowd, saw that it wasn t big enough, and said eff it. i want more people there. get the magnetometers out of the way. this is the kind of factor that all of us prosecutors would have considered in deciding whether to proceed with charges. again, i want to be clear. you could still probably sustain a charge on a lot of these things, but he has an argument, and it s not a completely implausible one. renato, what do you think, since you think that was the moment that was the game changer? yeah, the reason i think it s a game changer is from a legal perspective. there s a first amendment issue that really protects trump s speech. political speech is usually protected by the first amendment, and unless he was imminently inciting a lawless action, there s no case because the first amendment bars it because speaking is permit firsted so i think this might get the
supported trump in the 2020 election. you have gabriel sterling and rus di bowers and then the georgia election worker as well who is going to be after that talking about all the threats she s faced because of the lies that were put out. and i m told that throughout you re going to have the witness testimony and different elements brought in such as trump s speech and january 4th in georgia where he repeated the election lies and said the election was rigged. you heard the crowd chant fight for trump. there s been so much focus on the january 6th speech, the committee is going to focus on the january 4th speech as well. also mark meadow s visit to cob county, georgia when the audit was going on. they re going to be asking the georgia state officials about that, i m told. really looking at trump s pressure campaign against the state officials but also the ripple effect from that with the death threats and just sewing distrust among the electorate over the election results. pamela brow
