Broadcast the Cases

I agree with the argument made by members of Congress to The Honorable Roslynn R. Mauskopf advocating that the cases being brought against Donald Trump be broadcast for all citizens to witness.

Generally criminal cases are not broadcast to the public, but the outcome of most criminal cases don’t usually affect all citizens as this case will. And it is legal to override the current laws regarding broadcast restrictions if the Congress votes to do so.

Here is the pertinent part of the argument in that letter that I hope all Americans support:

“Given the historic nature of the charges brought forth in these cases, it is hard to imagine a more powerful circumstance for televised proceedings. If the public is to fully accept the outcome, it will be vitally important for it to witness, as directly as possible, how the trials are conducted, the strength of the evidence adduced and the credibility of witnesses.”

Please contact government officials and advocate for full coverage of all the trials.
