I had wondered about what would happen if #Trump were ever seriously indicted.

Looking at episodes #6 and #8 of the #podcast series, #RachelMaddowPresentsUltra, gives you a clue of what is bound to happen when the former holder of the most powerful government position and (arguably) the leader of the #GOP is indicted: #bedlam

This is, at least, what happened when the #JusticeDepartment indicted 29 isolationist and #Nazi sympathizers for sedition,...

Episode 6: Bedlam

Justice Department prosecutor O. John Rogge isn't prepared for the pre-planned chaos that erupts as the most high-profile sedition trial in U.S. history begins.

Finally completed listening to the #RachelMaddowPresentsUltra podcast.

Holy crap. Stop whatever you're doing and start listening to the story of how, before and during #WWII, the Nazis compromised dozens of key political figures in Washington and around the country in order to keep the nation out of the war, and then to keep us divided and weak once the war began. It's a horror story, and the parallels to today are clear and frightening.

Episode 8: Ultra Vires • Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra - via Podcast Addict

In the wake of the sedition trial's collapse, Justice Department prosecutor John Rogge travels overseas and uncovers a bombshell. He finds evidence of a coordinated effort to subvert American democracy… as well as the names of high-profile Americans involved. Rogge then returns to America... and goes rogue. Risking his career as a prosecutor, he makes public what he's discovered about the fascist threat and the Americans who supported it. And he offers a prescient warning about an American criminal justice system that is ill-equipped to defend democracy from those who seek to destroy it.

#rachelMaddowPresentsUltra fits hand in glove with #USandTheHolocaustPBS from #KenBurns - after the initial feeling of “holy fuck”, I did find them strangely heartening. We’ve faced this kind of evil before - I mean the exact same kind of evil - and it did not prevail. The path ahead is hard but not hopeless. #RachelMaddow #theresistance #podcast
Episode 7: Rinse, Repeat • Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra - via Podcast Addict

The largest mass sedition trial in American history churns on. And continues descending into chaos. But the dozens of sedition defendants attempting to wreak havoc on the proceedings would soon get a high-profile assist. From serving members of Congress injecting themselves into the trial and coming to the defense of the accused seditionists standing trial. Before a verdict can be reached, one final twist calls into question whether the Justice Department will see the case to the end, or cut bait entirely.
