Fear of retaliation. you can see it in the way the disgraced ex-president lies about the case and everyone involved in it. but most of us, ugh you can see it in the way he s conditioned his followers to distrust anything and everything outside the maga bubble. the executive director of protect democracy described it to us like this. i think perhaps one of the most corrosive and nefarious dangers we face is the unleashing of termites in the foundations of our system that trump and his allies unleash by sewing doubt in the trust that we have historically had in our institutions, by suggesting that courts can t be trusted, that juries can t be trusted, that every act tort here is acting corruptly and nefariously, it s undermining that trust that s one of the greatest long-term threats to the viability, stability and future success of this country. because a democracy depends on a certain degree of trust in our systems. ....

And also remember mike pence, said he s already willing to comply with this subpoena. he s already willing to testify under the judge s ruling. so far, he s not appealing anything because he s actually happy with what has happened in this case. pence is pretty pleased that he earned some protections around the vice presidency that members of congress also have, even if he has to show up and talk about conversations where donald trump may have been acting corruptly. in katelyn polantz does go forward and ends up testifying to them obviously would be incredibly significant, but we ve seen so many other former top white house aides who have had to go before i go before the grand jury because they ve lost similar appeals to the one that was just filed. that s right and what s so i was looking back into the law and the history on this, and this is actually not that unusual of a situation to happen in a criminal investigation 50 years ago in the watergate cases, they re basically the basical ....
