the statements only serve as a public record of the events happening leading to the arrests.

Love this idea. So far the "public record" is from the "news" and "social media" lies and mis-information. With all his twitter and other statements, we will be able to piece together a real history from his words. All of it in one, or only a few, places. I can imagine our new history books interspersed with "Trump statements". I think you're on to something!
