#MichaelCohen #Trump #HushMoney
Michael, you are a big part of this bring it home,SAVE THE USA,Blue wave 2024
Trolling trump isn't against the law.
Trump responding to said trolling isn’t either but that crooked judge ruled that it is and has taken Trump’s constitutional rights away as a result. He deserves to be in prison and if Trump wins in November, I hope he does send him to prison
@@JD365-ls5cwdirectly attacking witnesses in your active case is not “getting back at trolling “..6 month old profile and 6 year old brain
@@rustiboi10 so just because he’s a witness he should be able to say whatever he wants about Trump and he shouldn’t be able to respond and defend himself? Why not gag both of them then? The crooked judge’s daughter isn’t a witness but she’s included in the gag? Why is that? Because Trump was pointing out how she works for the Biden administration and about her tweets about Trump being “locked up” and how that’s blatantly a conflict of interest
@@JD365-ls5cw Trump was gagged because he has a lot of nut case followers that are very likely to do harm to these people on his behalf. He didn't start out being gagged but he has no self control and had to be.
Can we give a medal to Cohen for trolling Trump?
>
Cohen isn’t the defendant duhhhhhhh
It doesn't matter. Him speaking out in any form about trump in jail or behind bars just helps trump. Not to mention his credibility is already on the toilet given he admitted to and plead guilty to lying under oath. So now he has to go in there after wearing that shirt and expect the jurors to take him serious
Get him, Michael! He did this to you and wrecked your life and career. It’s time!
100% and no one feels remorse. I’m with you. I am in 100% support of him doing whatever it takes to get his mental health straight.
He has been convicted of perjury in service to himself. He evaded paying his taxes. You're brainwashed. Wake up before it's to late.
Leftists do seem to love their dried-up old who _res and convicted perjurers.
@@merrilew Well, Michael Cohen was mentally compromised when he thought that Donald Trump was capable of friendship, so you're not completely wrong. Just mostly wrong.
Spoken like a true democrat. Nothing is ever your fault.
Cohen knows what gets under 45's skin. He knows the triggers that set 45 off. I'm loving it!
its gonna be great for trump in appeal
So you admit this is all politics? You just care about hurting a guy you don’t like. Not the law. Such a low state this country is in.
@@kingsnoob4546 Are you stupid...He is the worst being.. let alone President... When you have time...take a look at the riot that he incited on the Senate and Congress...and people were killed ...as he stood blocks away ...
Michael...save it for the trial! Don't let them gag you!!
None of his recent media has been about the case.. He legally could talk about the case.. but he himself has chosen not to... He still has done podcasts and media, just not talking about this case.. So what are you talking about ? .. prior to the trial.. just like Trump he has said what he wants.. but not since the trial started.
Cohen has really been rather quite about anything that might be case related since he started giving deposition to Bragg. He flat out told one reporter he couldn't talk about it when they tried to get him to. He was an attorney. He know what he can and can't do or say.
Makes sense he wouldn't comment on the case. Makes sense he'd want to push cheeto's buttons, the guy who put him in jail.
Exactly, he didn’t talk about the case.
This is corp media BS. They can't help themselves. This is why we are where we are now.
You sound like you think that you have a point 🤔, but for the life of me, I can't find it. 😞
Hasn't he been doing this for months? What makes it a "terrible idea" now? He has a podcast and a book!
He has 2 books,I think. Or is working on a second.
No one is pretending Cohen is an angel who never lies. The jury is human who also make mistakes. The purity check insinuated here don't make sense to me.
Mistakes? Lying I'm court and to congress are not Mistakes. Cohen is a miserable little worm
Huh?
Show the receipts and admit fault is all that is needed. Let the dominoes fall.
@markatkinson9963 what receipts?
@@sg7772 tapes of conversations with 45 about setting up payments to Stormy, for one.
I'm intrigued how this Weiselberg situation is gonna play out.
He has already testified in public in a Congressional hearing!
Was that the one in which he commited perjury?
@@TheDiamond2009 Perjury? Trump does that everyday.
@johnbrattan9341 Can you identify just one of Trump’s cases of perjury for me?
@@TheDiamond2009 Only according to the defendant who's on trial for fraud. 😊
@TheDiamond2009 Only according to the defendant, who is on trial for fraud. 😊
Cohen, stop talking. make it count when you do
For real. He's getting too excited and coming off like a stool pigeon gabagool
He stopped talking about the case voluntarily.
2 weeks ago
@@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing Get a grip. Cohen spent time in prison for protecking
Wasnt he the one that went to prison for lying? 😂😂😂 and trumps buddy?
@@Gabedudley1 90% of trumps staff lie, its what they have been taught to do. They other 10% left and now refuse to endorse him.
Michael needs to vent before he goes on the stand. Please be more supportive of the man. So much for free speech.
Thank you Michael Steele👍
It's unwise and you can fathom why.
Leftists do seem to love their dried-up old who _res and convicted perjurers.
So you’re pro free speech but probably have no issue with the unconstitutional gag order that crooked judge put on Trump? Make it make sense
Three years in jail because of the orange monster? He can say whatever he wants.
Cohen is a lying criminal!! Trump is not!! TDS is real!!
@@Bigfish105 Except trump IS a Iying criminaI.
Was it that long? Rant on, Cohen!
Rightttttt
It will give the defense reasons to be able to have a mistrial declared. He should save his talking for the court room. If his ego will allow it.
This is total BS. Not long time ago Cohen decided on his own free will to avoid talking about the case. When they say that he is taunting Trump, this is BS.
Yes, not long ago Cohen publicly decided not to talk about the case and then virtually immediately afterwards began taunting Trump. Cohen is a major sleaze bag, but he was Trump's sleaze bag fixer doing Trump's bidding when he ended up serving time for doing what Trump told him, and paid him, to do.
The thing is, with organized criminal groups, when you get one of the lower level criminals to turn on the mob boss, that lower level criminal is virtually certain to be a scum bag, which is WHY they were part of that criminal group. If Cohen was not the sleaze bag fixer he was, Trump would not have been paying him to fix things for him.
That’s right Michael Steele preach baby he knows him, Cohen will eat him alive
Cohen is too emotionally hurt. He is embarrassed and out for revenge. I would encourage anyone who thinks Cohen has any sense whatsoever to find his past TikTok lives. He is like a 10 yr old on the school yard. I would not pin any hopes on him at all. Wild card for sure. And possibly actually super low IQ. I can’t watch him on those lives without cringing. 😅
Huh?
I don’t think they could do anything to Michael Cohen than what he and his family went through. I can understand when someone takes so much from you and he is getting away with it that make you mad. You have to be there to know what he is going through. He admit that he make a mistake .
Cohen has lied to everyone. But you believe him!!! HAHAHAAHAHAHa
I have faith in Cohen too!😊
Remember he was Shitler's top bouncer. It'll hurt his former boss more than him. Only the best people...
Shitler!,.... nice!
Cohen is smart , playing Trump!!
Trump taught Cohen everything that he knows.
Trump can have a taste of his own medicine.
Nobody but democrats believe Cohen. He's like a bug to Trump!
Cohen served his time.
Yeah a convicted liar so he's not very credible now is he
@@bobevans9955As democrats we'll cling to anyone that talks bad about Trump.
@@bobevans9955 Trump told 33,000 confirmed lies while "president."
Weisselberg, Navarro and Bannon will do theirs as well, while others are making plea deals.
@@bobevans9955 Infinitely more credible than The Orange Turd.
No psychological game need to be construed from what he’s doing. He’s paying on back.
This guy went to jail for our former criminal in chief while trump COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTED. This is the stuff that kills me about tv media. I try so hard to hear you out but too many are trying to both sides issues that have ONLY ONE RIGHT SIDE.
Let the dominoes fall.
And now dems love him 🤣🤣🤣 pure 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Hey El stoop Ed he went to jail on his own moreon
He went to prison for cheating on his taxes lol nothing to do with trump
Media speaking 24/7 about Trump's trial is a terrible idea 😂
Michael redeemed himself in front of Judge Engoron.
...yep and there the judge and the jury had the opportunity to compare them on the stand and under oath and Trump lost biggly having shown himself as the consumate liar that he is.
You got this Michael cohen 👏
The judge should have told Trump to stop stalking Cohen. Why is he reading Cohens and Daniels’ tweets?
Still a free country , dispute what the Democrats want .
To be fair, the media does talk about their posts and such so Trump easily could've seen it from that.
Not only is Trump and his defense team, reading the tweets and watching the TikTok videos they’re gonna bring it in as evidence..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Don't forget Cohen has 10 free passes before he should keep quiet. Or is Trump hypocritical?
Interesting perspective. Needs more attention.
Not just Cohen, but every single person in this jurisdiction should also receive the same treatment of 10 free passes.
Unless, of course the judge thinks one man is above the law.
Merchan allowed the precedent to be set.
The bell can not be un-rung.
Trump, the irredeemable.
Biden, the unintelligible
Dont be sad .
You mean UNSTOPPABLE!

"Outsmarting" Trump is so easy it should be declared illegal !
Time for a firmware update...
It you are correct. You couldn't last 2 minutes face-to-face with him. democrats are cowards.
So easy? That's why all his cases are going to be dropped 😂 pathetic
And yet Hilary failed to “outsmart” Trump in 2016 and lost 😂😂😂
@@DisaffectedLiberal🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, well he hasn’t been talking about it for weeks and if anyone should be able to say something he should.
For not being an attorney, Susanne Craig seems very knowledgeable about trial law. Has attended a lot of trials, I guess and learned a lot from them and from the lawyers she talks with. I respect that.
Michael Steele fckin rocks!!!
The people on this MNSBC panel all look deranged? 😂😂😂😂😂
I like Mike!
This weekend group is a fun watch. Simone and Michael are quite hilarious.
Get real! Who is this skinny guy who doesn’t know his facts? I’m out
Nobody can tell you about the stink of a turd better, than the turd next to it.
This case , has to be cross examine critically .
Time to make popcorn 'cause the drama is gonna start.
I said it a long time ago that Cohen should stop talking about Trump. Now the judge has told him. I wonder why.
Cohen has always been truthful ….
Cohen has never been truthful and you seem just like him.

LOCK TRUMP UP
Trump 2024. He’ll win even if he is locked up
Why. For what.
Who are you people.
The guest was right. MSNBC is applying a very heavy “spin” to this story
So THAT'S what a NYT journalist looks like!
Enough said!
I disagree with some of the talking heads
Guys…by you talking about it what good things you derived from it? I like Sue said leave it to the jurors and the court! Stop giving your opinion because it’s your opinion!!! Leave it as that
I disagree that this isn't a school yard fight. You have a guy(Trump) that had Bill Barr lock Cohen up because he wouldn't sign his first ammendment protected rights away.That is just a bully on the playground
It's a school yard fight in the courtroom. Many cases are. The legal profession thinks too highly of itself.
In solitary no less. Solitary is no joke under any circumstances.
Love Michael Cohen ~ he paid for his mistakes, takes a real man to admit.
"The documents are great, but we still need intent". All of the intent is right there for everyone to see. The signed checks show the intent. The coverup shows the intent. Some of these media pundits are clearly not getting enough sleep.
@epochchange6803
Intent to do what? All the checks were written in 2017.
I would have loved to watch the testimony as it is going to make history. dump can’t be called a leader but he is going down from Monday. Payback time dump
Cohen needs to shut up. After the court cases, talk all he wants, but until then, he needs to shut his trap.
The gag order applies to Trump, not Cohen nor any other witness.
Think about the person you sheep hung your hat on!
Going to be shocked when things don’t go your way!
Why doesn’t he just shut up and do his job? Is he secretly working to help his master win a mistrial?
So the questions he needs to answer are the ones about his interaction with Trump
Complete loss of faith in the American system
WHERES HIS GAG ORDER? SOMETHING NOT RIGHT HERE.
They should fine him £1000 ten times and then threaten to send him to jail if he does it again.
He is a lawyer, shouldn‘t he know what to say and what to keep quiet about?
The irony of this being a trial concerning hush money, having turned into an effort to try to stop trump from talking, is (like most things, trump) … CRAZY!
Michael Steele brings the goods every week, lol
Cohen voluntarily stopped talking about the case weeks ago
🏛MAGA/TRUMP🚨
RIKERS ISLAND
🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔
Hey Cohen has a right to Poke the bear. He went to the Slammer and didn't get to Boink Stormy!
Michael Steele's logic is flawed and he loses credibility for it
Good analysis.
I like listening to Michael Cohen. He may be a shyster but he did his time and he knows the depths of Trump's behaviour and actions. He says what we know to be true.
This case is toast, just throw it out and save money
Get up to date!cohen isn’t talking! It was his choice to not talk now
The last speaker is too deep in the weeds over Cohen. He's not intimidating anyone or causing a dangerous situation for anyone. Like trump does.
Why when President Trump walks into the court room, does the Judge not say "All Raise"? Why is the Judge so disrespectful? The Judge should be dis-barred.
Why should they respect con Don Trumpturd?
The prosecution doesn’t need cohen to be believed, they need intent. We’ll need more intent if possible. I want cohen to say so much that trump ends up in jail for gag order violating.
When you put your faith in a LIAR! Hmmmmm
When the defense asks Cohen if he lied, does he have to tell the WHOLE TRUTH about all the lies he told in criminal conspiracies with his boss? Will the judge and prosecutor offer him transactional immunity to resolve all of Cohen’s credibility issues?
I guarantee you he’d rather not be talking about this trial on international news and upping his death threats tenfold, so if he is speaking I feel confident he’s conferred with his legal team beforehand about whether or not it is a good idea LEGALLY to do so, as well as what aspects are appropriate to discuss.
Trump will probably have an angry poop in court today as he did on The Apprentice set.
Cohen hasn’t been speaking about SPANKY for over a week. By his own choice!
Cohen has the receipts........ going to be an interesting trial.
What receipts?
FJB
I would like to buy one of cohens shirts
He wasn't trumps enforcer because he is is a good person. No surprise here
Completely agree with Steele, cohen is baiting Trump
It’s genius
Cohen is losing his mind in front of us. He can't sleep, he looks horrible!
lost a lot of weight Cohen said it's hard for him to eat because his stomach hurts when he does..
I agree that Cohen should have minded his peas and cues, but I also think he'll do very well on the stand.
You go Michael. Do exactly what Trump does. He’s not threatened any one, unlike Trump. He has no gag order, unlike Trump. Keep getting into Trump’s head. Let’s be honest, there’s not much there anyway.
Let alone, the incessant ECHO, ECho echo…
Michael Steele is not wrong on this one this guy is a Republican strategist for a reason the people that have too much legal law and their books are forgetting that Michael Cohen was a former lawyer just because you're not a lawyer anymore doesn't mean that out of nowhere Michael Cohen just magically forgot how to be a lawyer he earned those degrees for a reason it doesn't disappear he just can't practice anymore.
This is why I think sometimes law legal law prosecutors are boring people they need to learn to relax Trump has been running his mouth for about 9 years now also been putting judges lives and their children in danger by hinting to the Maga to go out hinting you know what that should mean I'm not going to fill in the blanks but hinting for dangerous things to happen. Michael Cohen knows Trump better than anyone Michael Cohen is only running his mouth mocking him not talking about the case he is using what is called his legal law lawyer experience is Michael Cohen has a right to mock Trump as much as Trump has mocked Michael Cohen.
I don't like where this pencil neck guy law degree whatever he is saying about Michael Cohen light about this lied about that I don't care about that Trump lied over 57,000 times did you not keep up with that or did you just wake up out of a coma?!.
Are you serious right now so you're supposed to treat Trump with kid gloves and then you're supposed to punish the guy that actually taught him everything he needs to know Michael Cohen is the guy that Trump relied on for decades Michael Cohen has the right to run his mouth and Michael Cohen doesn't hint at going out and having Trump's family hurt just the same way Trump is doing it to other legal sitting judges and talking about retribution on the country that I'm not okay with!. 😡
Michael Steele is old fashioned he is a Republican strategist Michael Steele is like the last Republican party they will be no more if they can't contain and get rid of this MAGA gang that is not doing any favors for the entire country is an entire system that's pretty big and it's pretty heavy and it requires grown-ups to have attention to keeping a system running not retribution and authoritarian regime. 👈😡🙄🤷♀️😐
I dunno where they dug up this Ankush Khardori cat, but you couldn't have cast a better Soulless Sleazy Lawyer who would sue his own mother for everything if you tried.
The Lawful Evil vibe of that guy and legal rhetoric he pushes is darkness incarnate.
Michael how can we get a message to Cohen to take a deep breathe, and stay calm and not go off half-cocked. Let him know to serve a cake it needs icing. He is the icing on Trump. Can you get this message to Cohen?

@@lindaaphillippi7015 what do I do with this info.

It seems Cohen, like his former boss, is not particularly wise or intelligent.

Man.. Napoleon Dynamite doesn't look so good
I totally agree that Michael should stop acting like an adolescent boy on the playground and be the "attorney" that he studied to be. He is still childishly angry and vengeful. Sure trump "did him wrong" and twisted arms to get him in prison. But...Michael did the RIGHT thing and now he must begin to act maturely like the grown-up man we all know he can be.
When is trump going to stop acting like a 6 year old?
Please don't talk over each other
If things were fair trump would be in jail for longer than Cohen
