I really don’t think this is a good idea. Fascist media will be selectively editing the footage to tell lies about what’s really going on, and we all know the people that watch/listen to that garbage are not concerned with actual facts.

Disinformation will be spread regardless. Yes, if there's footage it does mean it can be edited and spliced. But then it's even easier to clearly show that it's disinformation if people can just watch the footage.

Precisely this. Whether they have public video of the trial or not, Republicans are going to make up a fantasy version of it anyway. Might as well have this major piece of history on public record as it happens.
