I gotta say, it's kinda weird that his lawyers are trying to block live TV coverage of Trump's arraignment 
. I mean, isn't this what we're paying for with our freedom of the press? It feels like he's more worried about his rep than letting the public see him being taken away in handcuffs 
. And security concerns? Come on, it's just a courtroom procedure. If there's gonna be an "atmosphere" created, it's not like Trump's lawyers are doing anything to make it happen... they're the ones trying to control the narrative

like can we just have a peaceful arraignment without all the drama and security concerns? i feel bad for trump but at the same time, isn't it his public arraignment? shouldn't he be able to let ppl watch live? idk what's going on here 
This whole thing sounds pretty fishy to me... I mean, who gets told by a judge that they can't show up to their own arraignment? It seems like a way for Trump's lawyers to control the narrative and avoid any scrutiny. And now we're being told it'll create a "circus-like atmosphere"? That just sounds like an excuse to me... I bet if Biden were in the same situation, there'd be no problem with live broadcasting his arraignment. 
. And security concerns? Please, it's just one guy, not some crazy presidential event like an inauguration or something. A limited number of still pics were okay last time, why should this be any different? I think the judge is right to consider all that craziness and keep things low-key for once... 
I mean, it's not like the arraignment is gonna be some crazy spectacle or anything.
