    Totally agree this is election inference against Trump and a threat to democracy. This is called freedom of speech.

    Let AI take over. Humans show characteristics such as fear, empathy, intimidation and harassment. This obviously affects the ability to make decisions. AI will ignore all distractions and make judgments based on the law. I don’t understand why no one is capable of telling 45 to stop harassing witnesses and take action to stop that.

    Listen carefully to what the reporter is saying shortly after point 1.30. "Now they are saying that MAYBE…". Yes, you heard it right …, "MAYBE some of the people he (Trump) has talked about, they are receiving threats … '"

    I love how CNN reports what they want you to think but has to cover it with a MAYBE. I can't believe CNN listeners are still wasting their time tuning into this. The comments indicate they are as blind as bats just as they have been in the past.

    This is one of the worst pieces of news reporting I have ever heard but it gives us a chance to see how CNN slips in their comments and tries to create a narrative while playing it safe by covering with the word "MAYBE". That is a total disgrace. I would rather quit my job than be involved in that kind of reporting

    Now the latest in the United States that we've been hearing about for the past several weeks or months is that Donald Trump cannot speak freely. Is this the United States of America or are they trying to brainwash people into believing that we no longer have freedom of speech in this country? Some of the young ones growing up may buy it, but I would think that even CNN wouldn't fall for this tripe! This way to the gulag ‼️

    Why don't we talk about when mobs of people show up at the homes of conservative supreme court judges to frightening them into making certain decisions?

    Trump is THE most dangerous man in America. Maybe in the world. Worse than Putin, Kim, or any other tyrant that ever lived.
    Remember he is a former AMERICAN president.Never, never in our history, has a former president attempted to overthrow our own democracy. NEVER!

    Trump will be written in history books this way and his Legacy will alway reflect his cowardice. Worse the Nixon.

    Screw the judge who has grossly overstepped any authority he actually has. As a Democrat I am going to vote straight ticket Republican, my party has become Marxists who need to be destroyed.

    Donald Trump has no respect for any laws, moral conduct and decency and until he is treated just like any criminal, the impunity only emboldens him to do disrespect the laws and institutions of this country
