The most powerful part was Glenn's refutation of trump's defense of his crimes which is based on the privilege of his position and not his being not guilty (having an alibi, etc) This defense, if allowed, does indeed pose a great danger to the U.S., our rule of law and our democracy.

And possibly "denied?" And we know that, at least in this case (one of many he's had pending), he was convicted of 34 felonies! How was a convicted felon even allowed to run for public office - let alone the top office in the land?? And that's not even mentioning the Constitution's 14th Amendment, Section 3, since he led an insurrection to overturn the U.S. government...
