Episode notes
Transcript Lacks Crucial Context
- The released transcript omitted nonverbal context like prolonged laughter that changed the tone of the encounter.
- Lawrence O'Donnell argues the audio reveals the meeting was convivial, not a rigorous prosecution session.
Recording-Only Transcript Is Partial
- The transcript was produced from audio and excludes what happened before recording started or after it stopped.
- That limits its completeness and allows important interactions to be hidden from public view.
Friendly Tone Flooded With Famous Names
- Todd Blanche steered the conversation toward famous names instead of probing criminal conduct.
- Lawrence O'Donnell suggests this diluted focus to bury Donald Trump's mention among other celebrities.
