I am really enjoying the segment where the panel has their informal discussion. Hearing the expert's unsanitized and unfiltered opinions, including the not necessarily-for-broadcast body language (and some words normally not considered acceptable for reporting) is amazing ... a lot of normally not broadcast perceptions are presented for us to sift through. More of this format, please!

Sounds like Michael Cohen should be on trial for grand larceny not Donald Trump for a crime the prosecution cannot define.

His presence in these proceedings is a gift to us during these historic moments we all share. His presence assures me we WILL make it through this increasingly awkward period in our history reasonably intact.

"Creepy" as 'Korea'. So many mistakes, confusing for deaf people who watch, I would think. If this is AI, it needs more work!
