Episode notes
Journalist Or Activist Determines Liability
- Don Lemon's arrest raises questions about who counts as a journalist and how protest participation changes legal exposure.
- Phil and guests argue activist reporting (joining/provoking) crosses into criminal liability under FACE statutes.
Following To Film Illegal Acts
- Cam Higby recounts following and filming activists breaking windows at a hotel to document illegal acts for potential charges.
- Danny and others describe entering protests and filming as a deliberate tactic to create evidence and accountability.
Files ≠ Accountability Without Prosecutions
- DOJ released ~3.5 million pages including videos and images from the Epstein files, but much is commercial pornography and heavily redacted.
- Guests emphasize release may not satisfy calls for accountability without prosecutions or unredacted evidence.
