Great clip, but...

...it's a bit unfortunate that it's categorized under "comedy" just because it's a Scott Bateman production. Nothing funny here, nor intended to be.

Not comedy, but compelling

Impeachment is off the table, but that just puts prosecution on the table. We now have public evidence sufficient for war crimes prosecution. I say let's do it.

Thanks for the audio.

Marjorie Cohn tells it like it is. Our government is a bunch of cowards and criminals.
