This is a misdemeanor charge that carries a maximum of one-year imprisonment and a $100,000 fine each.\n\nThe judge has already denied them the ability to present vital evidence in their defense. During the hearing, she referred to the embassy protectors as a "gang," and stated that the facts supported their guilt. She made it clear a trial will result in their conviction, and promptly made rulings that will ensure that outcome.\n\nEmbassy Protection Collective: https://www.facebook.com/ColectivosporlaPaz/\nPopular Resistance: https://popularresistance.org/\n\nPlease donate $1/month to support Essential Dissent: https://www.patreon.com/EssentialDissent\n\n00:00 Intro by Margaret Kimberley\n02:32 Margaret Flowers\n11:22 Margaret Kimberley introduces Sara Flounders\n13:17 Sara Flounders introduces David Paul\n15:38 David Paul\n23:59 Margaret Kimberley introduces Adrienne Pine\n25:07 Adrienne Pine\n31:55 Sara Flounders introduces Kevin Zeese\n34:28 Kevin Zeese\n58:59 End
