Trump hush money trial transcripts to be made public

Source: New York Daily News

New York Courts will be posting the transcripts of Donald Trump’s historic hush money trial.

Each day’s transcripts will be posted online and publicly available before the end of the following business day, “to ensure broad and continuous public access to this extraordinarily high-profile case,” according to a release.

Trial proceedings are not broadcast and space inside the courtroom for members of the public is extremely limited, making the transcripts the best, most direct way for the public to follow along the first criminal trial of a U.S. president, Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas said in the release.

“This measure is in the interest of the public good and aligns with the court system’s commitment to judicial transparency and its ongoing efforts to enhance public access to, and understanding of the courts and justice system,” Zayas said.

2. The best part about this is that Chump can't walk out of the trial spouting BS to the TV cameras

When we can see and read what's going on inside the courtroom, he can't spin it to what he wants us to believe. He's better off saying nothing to the media.

His supporters won't be reading the transcripts, and the average voter probably won't be aware of their existence.

6. He's sounding pretty incoherent lately.

Like he can barely spew the same old repetitive BS he’s said a million times without losing his train of thought.

Somehow I don’t think he’s quick enough on his feet anymore to spin anything. In fact I suspect that as the trial wears on he’ll have less and less to say.

He’ll be too busy reeling from the humiliation.

9. You're right, of course. (Ignore the nitpickers and hair-splitters herein.)

The fact remains that Trump's "lies and spin" won't be the only version of courtroom events and that we'll have access to the transcripts to have a more powerful response in fact-checking what he says.

>> He's better off saying nothing to the media.
That's true. But... it remains to be seen if that's what he does.

Worth watching.

Hopefully a new one every day.
