Maddow on Showing Trump’s Mugshot: ‘We’ve Never Been Here Before’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MADDOW: “The rule of law, and health of our democracy, depends, not just on the conduct of this criminal case, but on our ability as citizens to take this with the heft that it needs. To look at this and see it as American citizens, who prize country above politics. And who, ourselves, prize the law, rather than the fame of anyone man. We have never been here before. We are forced to consider, an American president, as a suspected and indicted felon. But here we are. Remarkable itself, we have three previous arrests and indictments of Trump, and none of them produced a mugshot. Fulton County decided to do it. That, itself, is a remarkable thing.”
