Following the three indictments against President Donald Trump, his team has signalled an ingenious move in for the trial their battle against the corrupt political machine
The move is simple, ‘Take the Curtain Away, and All Americans Get to See What’s Happening.’
The tactic, buried in the noise of the third indictment, was proposed last month by Trump attorney John Lauro.

“If I appear in court, I’m going to be representing not only the president of the United States but the sovereign citizens of this country who deserve to hear the truth,” Lauro said.
“The first thing we would ask for is, let’s have cameras in the courtroom so all Americans can see what’s happening in our criminal justice system. And I would hope the Department of Justice would join in that effort so that we take the curtain away and all Americans get to see what’s happening.”
The Fox News segment took a turn as co-host John Roberts began grilling Lauro.
“You might want to have that discussion with Donald Trump because he’s the one who didn’t want cameras in the courtroom when he was indicted in New York,” Roberts remarked.
Trump’s legal team did not want cameras at the Manhattan arraignment because of the media’s “circus-like atmosphere.”
But Lauro said, “We’re going to have a process” this time.
Roberts continued to pour cold water on Lauro’s push for courtroom cameras.
“You also can’t have cameras in federal court, so I think the point is probably moot,” Roberts said.
“You can ask for it,” Lauro countered.
“You can ask, but you’re not going to get them,” Roberts matter-of-factly replied.
This would be a win-win move for Trump.
If cameras are allowed in the courtroom, not only would pace him in the international spotlight but also his prosecutors.
