And that trend has continued during 2021. Indeed, one report shows that NFT sales in the first quarter of 2021 grew to more than $2 billion, over twenty times the volume of the previous quarter.

all right. my next guest is a cyber and privacy expert in the form of a justice prosecutor. mark rash is with me now? so mark, you re the professional now. in listening to, and that was just a snip-in on was it cash or not cash was a sidebar of the grander scheme of the terror. but i wanted to know first just how you thought this was reported. let me play one other clip, because in the very end of the tape, you hear sort of wrestling or shuffling about maybe something is scraping against the microphone. roll it. oh. oh.
we hear an abrupt cut. no, no, no. it cuts. what do you read into that? if you look at the spectrum, it ends abruptly, which means it was not turned off. because when you turn it off, you have to move the phone, pick it up more rustling and the like. and listening to the undercover tapes and listening to surveillance tapes all the time, this is pretty standard pattern that you re going to hear, turning it on, turning it off. what this means is there s more to the tape, but all that was disclosed at this particular time was the snip-it of the tape cut off digitally, not mechanically. which is such a key point. we don t know what remains, but that was an abrupt edit. mark rash, thank you so much for your expert analysis on that. meantime, he s played a key role in the presidential sex scan
even to fire jim comey for particular reasons, if the president does so with corrupt intent to impede or obstruct the due administration of justice, that s a crime. ultimately, for the president the question of whether or not there was an obstruction of justice may end up being a political question rather than a legal one, though. mark rash, the state of mind that you mention and that geragos mentions, that s clearly so important here, but it seems like it must be so difficult to prove. it s funny because in the law there are all these different states of mind. there s knowingly or recklessly or intentionally and the obstruction of justice keicarria unique state of mind, not just that you did something bad, but that you did it with an evil intent and the intent to obstruct an administration of justice and it s a fairly high standard. mark geragos, check out the tweet from john dowd.
