. i have said in the past that i might consider cameras in the courtroom for this case. generally, as a former judge, i don t really favor cameras in the courtroom. i think it does affect behavior. you do in this case though? i do, yeah well the reason why this case is different because this is a case, again, with charges, conduct against democracy. against the american people. so, the stakes couldn t be higher. the other reason i think, perhaps, in this case, there should be cameras in the courtroom is because there is already a great deal of doubt in certain segments of the american population about the criminal justice system and about the rule of law. if they see, on camera, but donald trump has received a fair trial,. that he is convicted, based on the evidence, by 12 impartial

right now, that the d. a. s office is handling in georgia. they are still choosing a jury. they re seven months in. i know that sounds unbelievable, but state jury selection is way slower than in federal cases. even if they started in march, they d still be picking a jury on election day. that is not happening. i understand what the d. a. is doing, she s doing what prosecutors are trying to do. you always say, we are ready to go, any day, we want to try everyone altogether. but march is not happening for this case. michael, very unlikely that there is 19 people charged. it s not gonna be 19 people by the time this goes to trial? no. there s not a chance. there will be people who flip, who cooperate, some plead out. maybe people she decides to get rid of, because it complicates the case. there could be a number of reasons. there won t be 19 defendant sitting in the courtroom. and because there s 19, that s one of the reasons there s no possible way that she s ever gonna go to trial
