    The billionaires are hoping we’ll forget and move on if they prevent discussion because he’s a threat to their power. I’m hoping for a Streisand effect.

      Streisand effect isn’t really possible if all discussion is quashed. That’s why they are so desperate to keep the news cycle away from him. He could use a PR firm to wage his case in public view.

        Every revolution begins by breaking the rules to bring someone untouchable under the status quo to justice. There is a very real threat of copycat vigilantes or worse that public sentiment will somehow lead to actual change. Power seized by the proletariat is always a threat to those with power.
