If anyone watched the Stormy Daniels interview on Rachel last night

Rachel brought up the fact we had a revolution so someone could criticize the king, and not have their life destroyed. Yet, that is what has happened to Stormy. Her life has been upended; she can’t work, her life and the lives of those she loves are threatened; and she’s currently facing contempt charges, and possible jail time for not releasing personal, identifiable details about her 13-year old daughter to the court.

No one, in America, should have their life destroyed for telling the truth about someone powerful, but here we are. We don’t adequately protect our truth-tellers and Monday’s SCOTUS ruling will only intensify matters putting more truth-tellers in a powerful person’s crosshairs.

As much as I admire Lawrence, I don't agree we can't incarcerate Trump

There are numerous government facilities where Trump could be held and the Secret Service would be able to provide their necessary protection 24/7. I believe in American ingenuity and it’s more a matter of can’t v. won’t.

Trump needs to be behind bars and when there’s a will, there’s a way.
