Yes.
So, I mean, this is their playbook, right?
Which is they, in the immediate aftermath of an event, I mean, we saw this with Alex Pretty as well, which is what Kristi Noem went into, which is the moment that the government overreaches, they then immediately try to slander the individual and flood the zone.
That's their strategy and the words that they use.
to flood the zone with as much slander, libelous statements as possible to try to get the public to believe it.
And we can't underestimate the power of the platforms that they use.
And so they try to use that.
They use these indictments to do that.
They did the same thing with Tish James.
with Jim Comey, with the chairman of the Fed as well, which is just to make these accusations, to try to make people believe that there's a there there or a justification there.
And I want to talk a little bit, too, about the fact that their arrest of you was highly calculated and highly intentional, as well, of course, as the arrest of Georgia Fort.
who is not just a journalist who was present, but she is the president of a media and a journalistic association in Minnesota.
She's also the head of Black Press.
And so what they are doing in going after you and in going after her is that they didn't go after you in the heat of the moment.
They waited.
And they do this because they want to set and make an example of you.
And the reason why I actually think that's so important is because in that is actually an admission of their own weakness.
because they know that they can't go after all of us.
They know that they can't go after everyone with a cell phone.
They know that they can't go after every single journalist who's trying to cover these stories.
