"Legal Breakdown" with Brian Tyler Cohen and legal analyst Glenn Kirshner, who was in attendance, do a real good job of describing the day from a legal perspective. Glenn articulates very much as well as Rachel, but he is much less polysyllabic and less academic sounding. I do respect Rachel's evident skills very much, but Glenn breaks it down as a longtime former practicing federal prosecuter and he uses language very skillfully without sounding like an obtuse professor. Just another angle on the day's proceedings for anyone interested. ❤
