Fulton judge says Trump court proceedings will be televised
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | AUG 31, 2023 | Jozsef Papp

A Fulton County judge on Thursday said that all court proceedings in the election interference case against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants will be live streamed and televised.

Judge Scott McAfee also said he is following the precedent set by fellow Fulton Judge Robert McBurney; all hearings and trials will be broadcast on the Fulton County Court YouTube channel.

In an order issued Thursday, McAfee said members of the media would be allowed to use computers and cellphones inside the courtroom for non-recording purposes during court proceedings. There will be pool coverage for television, radio and still photography.

The proceedings — especially those involving Trump himself — are expected to attract international attention.

The transparency in the county court stands in stark contrast to federal court. In Monday’s hearing on whether White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows should have his case transferred to U.S. District Court, journalists were barred from bringing cell phones, laptops and cameras into the Richard B. Russell federal building.

If Meadows is successful in his bid to relocate his case, the other defendants could join him. In that event, McAfee’s order might not matter much.

This is the judge that left Harrison Floyd rot in jail while he went on vacation.

Somewhere my brain is remembering a quote from someone who said: “The next civil war will be broadcast live on T.V.”

The recording
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
by Gil Scott-Heron (released in 1971)

(excerpts)

You will not be able to stay home, brother
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and
Skip out for beer during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be televised

The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In four parts without commercial interruptions

The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner
Because the revolution will not be televised, brother
Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction
Will no longer be so damned relevant

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
Pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run
Or trying to slide that color TV into a stolen ambulance

NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
Or report from 29 districts
The revolution will not be televised

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
Brothers on the instant replay
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
Brothers on the instant replay

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised
Will not be televised, will not be televised
The revolution will be no re-run, brothers
The revolution will be live

I would wager that if the televised proceedings to in Trump’s favor the “televised” will be stopped.

Yes. The contrast was my point. This triggering event is televised. As if we need any more banana republic lawfare triggers.

Just another ruling that will be challenged and delay this show trial. If the farce is televised and the jury is not sequestered, any hint of fairness evaporates. Also try to imagine 19 defendants, each with their own attorney questioning witnesses, making objections, filing interlocutory appeals etc. etc. It really will be a clown show.

“I would wager that if the televised proceedings to in Trump’s favor the “televised” will be stopped.”

A series of multi-day handy dandy reports of a “manmade global warming emergency” will supersede the kangaroo court proceedings.

Did he say whether or not the immediate execution out back will be?

Hopefully they will regret this as badly as Amber Heard regrets suing Johnny Depp in a televised trial.
