And so if

By chance, we see this continue to move forward and escalate.

I don't want anyone out there who's watching to sort of listen to us and say, oh, but you said they didn't have a case.

There are a number of outcomes, as we, like I said, have seen already with this administration and the cases that they have filed, where they essentially are dismissed before they get to see the light of day.

And so do not be discouraged by that.

Understand that, as I was saying earlier, that this is an administration that operates with a penchant toward the vulgar, the spectacle, and doing things just to be seen.

And so if they do something in this regard and that ultimately occurs, it should not be a surprise.

nor because of the reason that the reasons that Monique laid out.

Should it be a surprise if these things are summarily dismissed once they are responded to with competent legal counsel?

But all of these things are a reflection of this administration's sort of willingness to overplay their hand in favor of the spectacle and without any regard for its own credibility and its own competence.

Who knows?

I don't know why they made those assumptions, but what I will say is that

The audio and video that you seem to have captured from a legal standpoint certainly isn't going to help them make out any case that you are in fact associated with or leading or participating in what this is here.

So from a factual standpoint, obviously this is not legal advice or a legal conclusion without seeing everything.

It certainly appears that what you have done in chronicling what took place

And by way of just simply documenting with transparency what it is that you were observing, only further to buttress your case that you were there as an observer exercising the right to freedom of the press, the right to freedom of speech.

and what was being observed.

So I can't for the life of me figure out why there was any sort of assumption made that you were with them, but certainly your responses that I heard on this audio were extremely clear and straightforward and leave no sort of room for misinterpretation.

You know, Don, Monique raises a very good point here because part of the reason that media is in the state that it is is because Donald Trump, the civilian, not necessarily Donald Trump, the president, has already shown himself to be incredibly litigious over media when things are misstated here.

It seems to be an intentional misstating of the facts, even when there doesn't seem to be an intentional misstating of the facts.
