I mean, we all know that.

He might as well be a videographer for the group.

He was capturing what they did for their benefit.

A very interesting comment you made back before we started the discussion, mentioning his finances, him pitching for people to join his YouTube channel as a subscriber and to help support their independent journalism.

That opens up all the finances of his enterprise,

to not just discovery efforts, but it's all relevant now in the trial.

Why was he there?

Was he there for First Amendment?

Or was he there for the financial wellbeing of his organization, trying to build it and promote it?

And this was just, it was just a content opportunity.

That's not going anywhere.

Something else I wanna mention, if you'll indulge me just a second.

You know, I believe this church is actually in St.

Paul, not in Minneapolis.

And I've done some digging.

You know, there are different federal courthouses in St.

Paul and Minneapolis, and they're in different counties.

Now, I don't think it's news to anybody here that jury pools for federal court are drawn not just from the city where the event happens, but they're drawn from the federal district and the division within the federal district where the charges are filed.

I expect what we're going to see today is an indictment not out of Minneapolis, not out of the U.S.

Attorney, well, it'll be out of the District of Minnesota, but it won't be filed in the Minneapolis courthouse.
