I pray that Trump goes to jail.
Although I agree with you, I think you are wasting your prayers. Sorry to be a pessimist, but this guy will never pay for anything as far as I'm concerned. He's a mafia Don, and he will get away with everything he's done. We should be concentrating on telling our friends to vote blue. And especially on getting new people to register and vote blue.
Prayers won't do it. Never does. It takes litigation.
Trump - total lunar eclipse - June 14,1946
Mike Johnson - total lunar eclipse - January 30, 1972.
Astronomical odds of this happening..
Hope for the best, but please prepare for the worst.
Don't we all.
(At least us SANE people, anyway)
Pray into one hand, shit into the other, check out which one is heavier.
That whole "Presence of Counsel" (rather than "Advice of Counsel") still cracks me up.
"You're saying your lawyer told you that this was okay?"
"My lawyer was in the room when I decided to do this, yes."
"..."
Coming Monday to a summation near you: Essence of Counsel. “To the extent that President Trump may have done anything wrong, it is because he was thinking ‘What would my lawyer, Michael Cohen, do?’”
Tincture of Counsel: my client was, in fact, aware of the existence of lawyers when he made this decision; ergo, by host procto coc and quia ego sic dico, there can be no crime."
This is a trial to determine if our laws apply to the rich and powerful.
Joe Biden stole classified documents.
Hunter Biden violated gun law. Al "The Reverend" Sharpton doesn't pay taxes. James Comey leaked classified documents. Justice is dead. Buy guns.
Biden stole classified documents.
We know Al "The Reverend" Sharpton doesn't pay taxes. He got away with it.
We both know it doesn't apply to them. But I sure hope they change that with this case or the other cases against him
If only the trial that mattered most wasn't terminated by someone who's in Trump's pocket.
It's not terminated. Smith has found a route to attack her now. Trump's rhetoric about the FBI "raid" has gone too far and Smith has filed for an immediate gag order. If she denies it he can get an official appeal against her which allows him to motion to recuse.
I don't think that one matters most. The only reason matters greatly is because it is easy to prove. The one that matters most is in DC because that is more serious, the coup d'état.
I'd argue the most important one is whichever puts him in a jail
@@SuperSuperSpork Georgia, he can't pardon himself out of that one.
?? What's up with the fake news? What's the crime? Has the prosecutor even established the crime? TDS is running rampant on this channel.
Wow, trumps cronies are acting like children in court? What a shock. I’m totally shocked and not being sarcastic right now. 😑
There are two ways this case can show the president to be above the law. 1) If her is found not guilty, and 2) if he is found guilty, but not sentenced to jailtime.
History shows us that presidents do not face consequences for their actions (Nixon, Regan come to mind)
It'll be number 2 Im sure
@@L_Train that would be the likely outcome for even a non president first offence.
@@thefailedfoodie Who is Regan?
Obama is the one who droned US citizens to death. Intentionally.
Presidents are 100% above the law
Ultimately, as an Australian looking into America and this trial, you guys really can't afford to have Trump win presidency again for whole variety of reasons both global and local for you. Hopefully this case has been able to sway enough people away from voting for him.
Same from Germany.
No shit
Some of us are aware of project 2025, yes.
Did you notice?
Trump - total lunar eclipse - June 14,1946
Mike Johnson - total lunar eclipse - January 30, 1972.
Nikki Haley turned exactly 45 on January 20,2017, the day Trump was inaugurated the 45th President of the United States.
Astronomical odds of this happening.
That’s why your vote doesn’t count
If the jurors get this wrong we are in a great amount of trouble.
There are 2 attorneys from business specialties (I believe) that are on the jury. Trump received not only attorneys that will argue his case while during the trial but also during the jurors deliberation. I believe Leeja is right, at best, mistrial or hung jury.
Thank you so much for doing these videos. I have ignored all news of this on purpose and having one half hour video a week is just right.
Agreed
Same!
The Hell’s Angels took their name off the nose cone of the B29 bomber they flew in WW2, fighting Nazis. The idea that the Angels are now on team Nazi is another sign we live in the Upside Down. FFS.
Don't think that military people were ever not right wing. They can fight against a foreign force that invaded them all they want, that doesn't make them holy or means they were proud defenders of democracy before the war. To defend your own soil is a pretty natural response no matter who the attacking party is.
I do think it's something that's pretty easily forgotten when you have such a prominently evil opponent like Nazi Germany, and as a German child it was confusing to me why Hollywood was so obsessed with making war stories, after all it was a horrible time and who would wanna see that for fun, but it does make sense to me now 😅 to most people, if there's someone shittier and you remind people of it constantly, they forget all the things you did
Now back to my point, the hell's angels in Europe were always a mob like group of gun nuts and definitely not democratic. It also hasn't become that way recently, it's been like that for decades
I remember when liberals were anti -war now liberals want to nuke the world
no, it means that the dudes of today are just cosplaying
I really appreciate this series, Leeja. Brian Tyler Cohen and Glenn Kirshner engage in too much speculation
Glenn Kirshner who was prosecutor and has actually been in the courtroom for much of the case?
@@KwameSolomon-yw5rd the very same. He's usually on point, but they fill their videos with hypotheticals
Agreed. I have other issues witg BTC's videos too. They come out so frequently that the content often feels like it lacks major substance while the titles are made as click bait-y and salacious as possible. I just want the facts with minimal editorializing.
if he isn’t found guilty you almost have to think one of the jurors had their mind made up from the start
As someone not from the US your videos always remind me of how thankfully i am 2 not be american
Don't forget. This just makes you subject to American foreign policy. 😁
@@simplethings3730 That's unfortunately true! Hence why so much of us are paying so much attention to US politics.
@@simplethings3730it’s so much worse for us Canadian Americans
I don’t think that protects anyone in a global economy
I had Trump fatigue years ago. What a nightmare person
Being part of that jury must really be the ultimate nightmare. Poor souls.
I’ve been paying attention to the trial, but I’m still benefiting a lot from your recap. Thank you
GUILTY! Then we all get disgusted when the judge wimps out and gives him probation.
Even if he's found guilty, this is considered the crime that's unlikely to result in prison. However, it's very likely that could happen with his other criminal trials.
I'm so surprised that Trump didn't take the stand, like, I felt assured his cataclysmic ego would never deny an opportunity to campaign from the witness stand, no matter how many scyophantic attorneys tried to plead with him that it would only hurt
The walls are closing in and his bag of tricks is almost empty.
He wanted to, but thankfully he was talked out of it cos that would have almost certainly gone badly. It's not gone great for him anyway. And if he is guilty is not going to prison.
@@EfHaichDee I hope it's the case.
Trump knows enough to avoid taking the stand.
It could take a week for the jury to go over each of the 34 counts.
Or it could take minutes, since there was no defense.
The thing is, each count is basically the same. Just a different installment of the reimbursement. How can he be found guilty on some, but not all? I think that once they decide on one count, the rest will quickly follow.
Each count is pretty much the same crime. Unless there's some MAGA idiot on the jury, this is a pretty open-and-shut case, and it shouldn't take long to reach a verdict.
That is the case when there are a lot of different charges, but a lot of these are the same reimbursement split up so as to not look as bad. This probably will take a couple days, but likely not a week.
This is all a waste of time he’s guilty. We all know it.
True but they likely wont find him guilty. Corrupt ass justice system will let him get away with everything
@@vitaminwater9662very possible unfortunately
Proving it is still important, especially considering the number and type of people who don't believe it. I'd much rather live in the country that "wastes" this time than the one that doesn't.
@@TheRatsintheWallshey did prove it, ABD the defense had no defense. And still his base won't care.
Slow your roll there, cowboy! Due process is important, even if it does take some time. We are a country of laws, and it's important to have a fair trial - even if it's clear from the start that the person is guilty - because it must be documented properly for posterity.
i wonder what the impact of two lawyers being in the jury will have on their decision as a whole..
10:18 According to the transcript, apparently Judge Merchan had sent the jury back earlier in Costello's testimony. He was already being admonished when he stared the judge down, at which point Merchan cleared the courtroom altogether (save for court and security personnel, the prosecution, and the defense, if I'm not mistaken).
Guilty. Although I want to say I'm happy, I'm actually more scared now of what the conservative right will do.
Thank you Miss Miller
for keeping us updated on this important Trial .
If this is your idea of ‘important’, then you’ve spent way too long listening to celebrity businessmen speaking. Go listen to RFK Jr., instead. Wake the f¥€k up from your drooling daydream.
Leeja is a smarty pants with wicked sarcasm- love it!
I really appreciate these weekly recaps.
when you mentioned that Cohen usually received a $150K bonus annually, but that year only got a $50K bonus, i literally started bawling my eyes out. that poor poor man
I know, right? He seems like such a nice man 🥺
_Bonus?_ That would be a decent base salary! (Maybe a bit low for a lawyer, but for anyone else…)
Trump is the kind of boss that wants to feel important and thus wants everything run through him, especially expenses. In his mind this qualifies as "a hard day's work". And he wants everything printed out for him because, again, it makes him feel like work is being done when document folders are handed around.
Hi Leeja! Thanks for this recap and for everything you do here! Enjoy your holiday weekend!
The adjectives are rich and breathtaking here! This is my new fav channel.😊
Hes gonna threaten the jury, literally theres no way that he doesnt threaten them with violence
I'm fairly sure that would violate the latest gag order and *actually* land him in prison, unlike a guilty verdict which likely won't result in jail time
@@moyetlicious like that's ever stopped him before
A consultant is someone who tells you what time your watch say.
A consultant is someone who just read the instructions
Please be guilty. I can't wait to see Trump's prison mugshot.
I wonder if the Secret Service will still guard him in prison?
Thanks for the video Leeja.
He's probably not going to prison for this one, but here's hoping it sways enough people that he loses in November and *maybe* the documents case continues.
The Secret Service have already made plans on how to guard him in jail if he was thrown in jail for contempt, so if he goes to prison they probably will still have to guard him.
He wont spend a day in jail- even IF he is found guilt, which I doubt will even occur.
Fun fact, if he is convicted Biden can revoke his secret service detail. Do it Joe!!!
You guys do realize ur asking for 4 more years of open borders, high inflation, and an illegitimate Xiden regime. One that’s hell bent on destroying America from within.
@@braydenwallski152 If he found guilty, I don't see reasons why the judge would be lenient in determining punishment.
If I understand correctly, the Jury evaluates each of the 34 counts individually. If they find him guilty of 33 counts and 1 not guilty I assume he is still guilty of 33 counts and of the crime, the crime being falsifying business records to cover up an underlying crime.
I want him to be found guilty, but I also don't want to see what his cult will do if he is...
Who cares what they do. In fact, they won't do anything.
They may get loud with an organized protest, but that’s about it. Very few of his followers will get violent and go to jail for him after they saw the aftermath of January 6th.
@@kenotube3160 Why should we assume that did anything besides make them angrier? They organized a violent uprising once, I don't see why they couldn't do it again.
They will cry. Tears of maga taste like love. ✌️
@@JediMediator hardly anyone has been showing up at the courthouse grounds in NY during his trial, even though he’s been trying to lure them there. No one wants to throw their life away for him again.
"first time offender" in a non violent crime usually will not result in time in prison. Frustrating but that's the way it usually goes. We'll have to wait and see.
I really do look forward to hear buh-bye. It’s truly one of my favorite things.
He’s going to be found guilty. The sentencing is going to be interesting.
Your going to be screaming like an idiot in the street when your wrong.
I can’t wait to see what they do
Home confinement at Mar A Lago. What a punishment. 😳
@@user-gz2jg9wj6t,the best punishment would be to make Trump spend all of his house arrest with Don jr.,and Eric by his side 24/7. No Ivanka,Barron,or Tiffany...lets see how long he lasts before he begs the courts to send him to solitary confinement in jail.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think, too, in any way he would react as he did if he didn't know already he lost it..
Guilty of all charges! That was fast!
If found guilty does the judge have the courage to put him in prison? He also should not be given the privilege of remaining out of jail while appealing a guilty charge. So far we've only seen privilege prevail. If it was you or me we would have had been put in jail after the second time we violated the gag order
Great re-cap! Thanks!
I'd be interested to hear why you think it will be a hung jury and a mistrial. Are there parts of the prosecution case that are too much of a stretch? Or does it just require too much inference - lack of a smoking gun?
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if they only convicted on the counts where Trump himself signed the cheques. Also, people in the court have been saying that the jury is not looking at the defendent at all when they enter and leave... It's all a bit ominous for the Trumpster, I think.
Really finding this series helpful, Leeja! (Couldn't say "enjoyable", obviously!) Thanks for your hard work and thoughtful analysis!
Gotta agree with Leeja. Hundreds of calls a day?? I would stomped my poor phone to death
Thanks for your careful analysis. It's a good counter to Midas Touch's clickbait cheerleading.
Thank you for doing the recaps. You always manage to fill in the facts gaps in my brain I get from trying to keep up with the news.
The commentators (not Leeja) describe the trial as a contest between two evenly matched foes and a case that could go either way, a nail-biter. I've read the transcripts, and one thing is sure: the attorneys are all pros-better than good. However, the prosecution built a strong case, and the defense is handicapped by not having one; Michael Cohen did air his sordid history and casual relation with the truth, but every salient point he made was corroborated in triplicate. Costello was a sour note in the defense, which was little more than the character assassination of Michael Cohen. The case is not complicated. If Donald Trump falsified business records intending to influence the election, he committed a crime. He did that. If any jury wants more than the evidence presented here, nobody would ever be convicted of anything. Of course., I thought OJ did it.
Can you do a video on jury science and "beyond a reasonable doubt"
I dont like the hung jury prediction. It seems like a pretty rock solid case, and the jury has two lawyers to guide them through legal standards.
OMG OMG OMG!!! Guilty verdict on all 34 counts what?!?!
Why even have a trial when it sounds absolutely impossible by the rules of the law for the guiltiest person in the existence of planet earth to be found guilty
Because they don't want him to be president,.....
GUILTY VERDICT LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!!!
So basically, the defense is trying to say that a man under intense pressure and responsibility was "losing it" and lying... But that it's somehow consistent.
No one is that good at lying.
Thank you for your tireless work summarising this trial Leeja.
Desperately waiting the next video in this series.
Considering one of the judge trump picked, Canon, flat out killed the sercet document case, im worried
8 years of litigation for 8 weeks of court to convict one fucking person .
Do we really think he will even be found guilty? And lets say he is will he even face in appropriate consequences? I cant help but be cynical and feel that nothing will occur. He wont be found guilty, but, lets say somehow that happens, he wont face in appropriate consequences, instead he will essentially walk away with a slap on the wrist. Wealthy and powerful people don't deal with consequences.
I genuinely don’t think he will, despite how much I hope he will.
I just don’t see a world in which someone so powerful, popular, and wealthy is *adequately* punished for their crimes.
I can’t think of a time in recent history where a world leader has been found guilty or anything but I would be happy to be told I’m wrong about this!!
Thank you for these summaries.
Cohen is no simple son.
Great coverage, thanks for doing this!
No! Don’t guess there will be a hung jury 😭😭😭😭
He is guilty af, and everyone whose sane and has a brain knows it. And the defense had no defense
So, if this comes back and he is foubd not guilty, theres a fix.
Hi @sharonharris9782 I hear you, but proving the charge beyond a reasonable doubt can be difficult. Here's what the BBC says (May 20): Other challenges remain for the prosecution. In a relatively novel approach, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office elevated falsifying business records charges to a felony by claiming Mr Trump did so with the goal of concealing another crime. To prove their case, prosecutors must show intent - that Mr Trump illegally classified records for the purpose of aiding his campaign. Several witnesses seemed to corroborate this. "He wasn't thinking at all about [his wife] Melania," Cohen told the court. "This was all about the campaign." But prosecutors must make this connection clear to the jury. "Essentially they have to connect these payments to a motive that links them to a campaign," said Ms Kiesel. "This requires a summation of a lifetime, because you really have to connect these dots." Mr Fletcher said prosecutors succeeded in doing so, with witnesses arguing the hush-money payment and reimbursement was not made to protect Mr Trump's family. "This was all about the election," Mr Fletcher said. "If I was going to bet, I would bet on a conviction. But I don't think it's a slam dunk." www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-69030047
please. Trump is the most innocentest man alive. I mean, now that OJ has died.
This entire trial is a perfect example of rich white male privilege
racist
A little but more an example of just rich and power privelage. OJ got off and he wasn't white... but he was rich.
Thank you for the wonderful recap without prejudice.
Costello: "Alright, I'm gonna lie for you but I'm gonna be so massively and uncontrollably unlikeable the entire time that noone believes me anyway!"
These videos are really interesting. Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you
Love your commentaries!
As of 18:02 that was a very good summary. I can't even try to guess what the jury is going to do with this, but it seems like the jury selection was thorough enough. But the payoff is not the only thing which was an alleged attempt to influence the 2016 election. What about other things like the engineering of those tabloid articles ?
I’m so excited for this episode.
Your videos are very informative and the work you do to put it together for people is fantastic. 🎉🎉
Yeah, I'm disappointed that ex-president Donnie punked out. Not surprised, mind you. I mean, the whole "my brain is rotting as we speak" bit would have been on full display for anyone who cared to read the court documents.
that's true, but I doubt any of his rabid fans WOULD care to read the court documents. Plus they'd have to silently sound out the words, probably re-reading those difficult words with more than one syllable, several times, their greasy finger stabbing at the page. Words are difficult, man. There's all those letters you need to know. There's like, what, 50 letters? And jeeze they dance around into who knows how many words. There's thousands of words. Nobody even knows what they all mean, much less how to spell them. And ffs, reading is for lib-tards anyway. Real Americans don't have to read shit. Probably, Trump's base would just say "Yes! that proves it!" without actually reading anything. Kind of like they do with the Bible.
Does he have to be guilty on all 34 counts for a guilty verdict to be returned, or can he still be found guilty and face punishment if found guilty on say 15 counts...?
Each count is an individual crime; therefore he can be found guilty of 30 and innocent on 4.
What stood out to me, when the simps started wearing blue suits and red ties, Trump switched his tie for the power move.
CAN'T WAIT for your next video!!!! 👏 x 34!
This is my American Horror Story Season 12 thank you
Thank you🙂
Thanks!
He was found guilty on all counts!!!
i got a hunch and my heart set on friday with him being convicted on all counts. i think the jury is plenty pissed off at team dumpster and solid in sending him over.
I watch your UA-cam channel often.
I have noticed something that no one ever discusses regarding pregnancy and abortions:
The world seems to have forgotten that the only way a woman gets pregnant is when a man leaves his messy semen behind.
MEN ARE ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE FOR PREGNANCY.
ALWAYS.
Trump said that women who have abortions should be punished.
If anyone is punished for an abortion, it should be the man who left his bodily fluids inside of a woman with or without her consent.
How is it 2024 and this basic fact is still being absolutely ignored? It’s science!
There is no question.
Yet women are STILL being blamed for pregnancies that men cause.
So crazy that this is never brought up.
Maybe you will.
The logic is undeniable.
If anyone is willing to speak to that truth, I think you are smart enough and brave enough to point out this basic fact to America.
My apologies for this message not pertaining to the video, but I am hoping to get this obvious fact more traction.
A truth masterclass on comunication in times of politcs youtuberization. honestly, great job!
And law.
Didn’t get a trump ad this time😊, still want that coffee for seeing it last time.
NY criminal attorneys are saying there are 3 possible underlying crime cover-ups that can lead to a felony conviction, one of which is tax evasion, rather than just election fraud. The case will be decided based on general intent rather than specific intent. General intent is easier to prove. Under NY law, the jury has to decide whether there was any intent to cover any of the 3. They do not have to agree on which one. Additionally, the cover up need not be the only intent. So if they believe that even part of the reason was to cover up a crime, my understanding is that would be sufficient. This leans toward a conviction on some of the counts.
Leeja !! ❤❤❤😊
"...allegedly" lol
I'm so terrifies about what's going to happen if he's imprisoned and even more so if he doesn't
Don’t fear the gravy seals and beergut truckers, they can’t run fast and you can fake them out with a cheeseburger. ✌️
My late stepdad's company helped build the trump casino. This is exactly how he does business brown paper bags and all that jazz I promise.
Why are you doing this, Leeja? You're such a smart political observer, you don't have to repeat again and again what's happened, as many others do. You can create your own content. Greets from a Fan :-)!
My exact question before you answered with your prediction: how likely is it that we have a hung jury? I know impossible to say one way or the other, but boy oh boy will it be a tough sell getting all twelve jurors on board to convict with how much the case relies upon conjecture and messy witness testimony, especially having Cohen as the prosecution's star witness and YIKES for the Costello shenanigans as well. How I wish I could've been a fly on the wall for that staring contest and admonishment he received after clearing the courtroom! And thank you for the fun new word, eleemosynary. ✨
Good
The court has sat so few days every week seemed to have an extra day off in addition to the Wednesdays
Yeah I expect that too. We can't have nice things.
His fanatical following should be under the judiciary scrutiny, at least toward their attempt to another government office
Great analysis as always! It's my understanding that not all 12 jurors have to find him guilty of all 34 counts of business fraud, and that if any of them find him guilty of any of those counts, the election fraud kicks in. I think I heard that on Ari Melber's show on MSNBC. It sounded like even one or more but not all of the counts of the jurors found him not guilty, the Election Fraud charge would be active but need all 12 to find him guilty. Your thoughts?
BTW, I rarely comment, and hate doing it on my phone like now, but that's how much I respect your thoughts! Thanks for your great work!
I'd love to see a video on the charges of Minnesota's own Nick rekieta of rekieta law who was recently arrested.
Why does the Jury get a week off? Wouldn't they have a better chance and remembering all that was presented if they go to deliberation immediately? Are they just needing a very long break?
Yes.
Thank you again for your analysis. I agree about the potential mistrial due to a hung jury possibility. Fortunately it seems that the defense made a lot of strategic blunders that seem to show they are far from being siding with the truth. Hope they reach a verdict sooner than later - it will be historical either way.
That sucks about Zito. I've met him several times around NY & he's always been really friendly & engaging. He would take time to speak about some of his roles, or even some stories about his crazy past. I hate that he's fallen into this Trump bullshiiit.
