I did spend two hours carefully reading the indictment. Not only does Joyce highlight its salient points brilliantly, but I want to briefly note why we owe the legitimate print and broadcast news establishment a deep expression of gratitude. In my opinion, almost all the details in Jack Smith's indictment validate the dogged reporting, one story at a time, that our "legitimate" news media has done over a period of many months. If you think about each element of the indictment, you may realize, as I did, that you heard or saw a version of the information previously because intrepid reporters went after the facts and developed the stories. Now Jack Smith has put meat on the bones and we definitely should thank him for standing up for democracy. But we also must thank our community of reporters and journalists for reminding us, as they do every day in so many ways, that a vibrant free press is essential to a true democracy.

Hello Joyce,

Thank you for doing this and especially at this time in your life. Many blessings to you. I was wondering earlier.tonight whether you would be back, leading the charge and helping us get through the maze. But mostly I just wanted to say thank you - I was working late tonight burning the oil on my own company (a rinky-dink start up company not on your level by any means) website and needed a break. And I thought I would check in to see if you had given us your words of wisdom. So from one night owl, to another many many thanks🩵😇
