Yeah. Well, and also the normalization is nobody within the administration, obviously pushing back. That is a huge difference from Trump 1.0, but you don't have anybody at the department of justice. Remember attorney general sessions was basically canned because he understood whatever you thought of his policies. He understood that the department is different and had to be independent.

And that was his sin, right? You don't have anyone in Congress raising a ruckus about this, that this is such a fundamental challenge to what it means to be a democracy that the department, in spite of the attorney general during her confirmation hearing saying, mouthing the words, it's absolutely clear that's not what's going on.

That's a great question. I think that the chilling effect is real and is happening right now. to just the process of having to hire lawyers, going through the process of defending yourself, that is a cost.

In terms of the president saying that Miles Taylor engaged in treason, well, first of all, there used to be a war going on, a real war, not what he says is happening with the gang TDA invading our country. It was a war. The deep state was engaging in a war against Trump. That's the war. Yeah. Yeah, it's obviously not treason.

I am aware of zero facts, zero, that exist in the real world or even in the executive orders. There's just a dearth of actual facts being alleged that would in any way constitute treason. So, you know, there's no factual predication, which, by the way, this being the weeds for the FBI or the Department of Justice to open a criminal case, they're supposed to have actual factual predication.

They can't just willy nilly say, you know what, we want to look at Tim because we want to see if he's done anything that is violating the attorney general and FBI guidelines. But those seem to be completely false. I'm raising this, you're probably going, oh, Andrew, you're so naive. Because, of course, that is gone.

That idea that you need factual predication to open an investigation is something that went by the wayside.

Yeah, I think that's right. But I also feel like I think the law firms are a good example of this. Even if it goes nowhere... the chilling effect is huge. So I don't know what the University of Pennsylvania's reaction is going to be. If SentinelOne, the company that Chris works with, they, I assume, need their security clearance in order to do some of their work.
