It's on PBS, so anyone who actually would benefit from watching it probably won't. But I will check it out.
there are probably a lot of people who don't really understand the whys and hows of all of this and would benefit from watching it that haven't totally closed themselves off.
It's a great recap of the past couple of years. Those of us nerdy enough to tune into the entire Jan 6th hearings won't learn much new, but it certainly refreshes everything.
Where it might shine is with the elusive swing-voters / independents, since more than half of Independents think Trump is guilty and wish a trial occurred before the election.
Glad OP posted this!
The full documentary on PBS's YouTube channel
Unfortunately region locked.
VPN trial?
I have a downloaded copy of the video, is there somewhere I can re-host it and not get into trouble?
YouTube? Works for some stuff lol
The Supreme Court continues to embarrass itself and undermine the once revered rule of law in the US.
Oligarchs have supplanted Democracy
Here's hoping people pay attention.
Watched the documentary. Good stuff, thanks for posting that link. While I can't say I anything new except for some details I either didn't know, or had forgotten, is was a good reminder of the events surrounding the 1/6 insurrection. It's a good reminder of why Trump should never be President again, but we'll have to see what the courts and the voters say about that.
Also, Robert Ray's (Former Trump Attorney) arguments became almost comical as the documentary played. I almost laughed out loud at hearing some of the mental gymnastics he was trying to perform in saying that Trump shouldn't be convicted because of the first amendment right to free speech.
It’s from 2018, the film, no?
