This was a great show. As an attorney it's useful to discuss these things especially if considering any type of reform. I think the one thing that stands out to me is the difference between the two prosecutions is there is fairly cogent argument to be made that the Trump prosecution is based on acts and speech specifically for the purpose of subverting a legal election, whereas the Cop City prosecution is based on citizens using their freedom of speech as it was intended, to protest. The Trump prosecution is not intended to chill speech or the election process, but the Cop City prosecution is very much intended to chill and quell freedom of speech. Of course, there are outliers in the Cop City case but those illegals acts in those situations can be prosecuted individually. I'm not sure there is a sufficient way to prosecute the Trump camp without alleging a conspiracy. That's just my take. But very much enjoyed the podcast, thanks.
