Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2024
- It was a pivotal week in the New York hush money trial against Donald Trump. Defense attorney Todd Blanche poked holes in former fixer Michael Cohen's testimony about a key 2016 phone call. And the former president was joined by a revolving door of loyal Republicans who helped him subvert the gag order. Stephanie discusses with Radhika Jones, Andrew Weissman, Nancy Giles and Michael Steele.

Talk to the former Cohen lawyer. He will tell you otherwise.
They will ignore the facts!
"Mr Cohen, do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God?"
Cohen: "Yes."
Objection your Honor, the witness is already lying 😂
Failed
look at the price of rent youngsters and your dream of ever owning a home before you cast your votes.
You left out the part where neither candidate is going to DROP the price of rent, but only one of them will laugh while it goes up more and his friends make more money.
@@VoltisArt interest rates were 1 to 2 percent when trump was the boss my son bought a wonderful home in calif 5 years ago his payment is 800 a month that same home today would run you 5,000 a month. he bought the home for 200,000 today it is 550,000 for the same home ,I was renting for 800 a month 5 years ago today that same place is renting for 3,000, I can tell you this I was living fat when trump was the boss nowadays I am living in a van and still struggling.
Is this the View show? 😂😂😂
They don't charge rent to Trump. He lives rent free in leftoid heads!
Youngsters! Question your dreams. How much of a price are you willing to pay; spiritually, mentally, and emotionally for them?
FJB
Alito throwing his wife under the bus… does that really surprise anyone, look what he did to ALL WOMEN in this country, we already know what he thinks of women because he has SAID SO.
Hey he found another Witch and she was in his own house!
The DEMO CRAPS are in DENIAL
Watching MAGA freak out is hilarious!!! Scared that daddy is going to prison?!?!
Typical projection as usual from right wingers SMH 🙄🙉
@@kristieshaw4806 Cohen tanked the case, and Trump is going to become president. Do you think Alvin Bragg will charge Cohen with perjury?
@@kristieshaw4806 WAKE UP, this propiganda network has brainwashed you.
@@kristieshaw4806No, why would we be scared?
I heard Michael done a magnificent job 🤣🤣🤣
if you don't hire a defense attorney to fix things for you then why would you hire a defense attorney????? these ppl are nuts
Well,why would you hire a surgeon to fix your need for heart surgery if you are a construction worker?
Especially if there's nothing wrong with your heart.
When someone else claims you have an issue, make sure that you get an unbiased outside opinion.
Also make sure that you have someone in your corner that knows the rules.
Also try and make sure that the person that you choose isn't a 2 faced piece of donkey crap.
I can feel brain cells dying while I listen to these hacks.
So stop listening. I think those brain cells of your died a long time ago.
Why do these people have so much trouble talking…
Blacks for TRUMP ❤
Are you kidding? ha 😂
@@charlesasmith7836No, not at all. Look around, friend.
Huh. You believe that racist line about good people on both sides. Whatever.
When Alito saw that flag up side down,why didn't he take it down and invert it? Throwing the wife under the bus is low down.
And I bet his spin doctors stayed up all night to think up that excuse!
Forget all that. Marvel at the entire panel working their accordions 🤣
Didn't the Anti Roe V Wade protesters also flew flags up side down????
Does it means they were also protesting J6?
The stupidity!
Alito, Supreme Court Justice, supports insurrectionists, and is participating in the intentional delay of justice for the United States of America.
Alito blames his wife. Because he is a weak coward and a liar who lacks any integrity.
Alito refuses to recuse himself from cases he is, apparently, actively involved with. Crazy.
That's the same thing Badgerine crud did during that cold spell in TX.
We’ve all seen the clown show that never ends now we need to do something about it.
Yes agree vote that whole clown show of a Party out 24 vote blue instead 💙💙💯
Look at the frauds
Who the trump and the GOP yes
The "Red Tie" Brigade. LOL
MAGA ties are the coming fashion trend! Call me a REDNECK!!😂
IKR bunch of fools in red ties
His Mexican American will be voting for Donald Trump AGAIN.
Oh please Alito did the flag on purpose to show loyalty and sway others. He’s a maga serial liar. I’m so sick of 🤥
Can’t believe the 5 Mouseketeer & the people on this chat are in denial.
I think this is a good example of the expression "echo chamber"; it's like a submarine that has lost power..
...
....
He was quoted saying Cohen was mad because he thought he was going to be the attorney general of the United States.......get real
Why are you disappointed? This is msnbc not fox. Deranged
You get real. Cohen's atty that went Grand Jury said this.
Exactly!!!
Blanche spent going on 3 days for a nugget of use from Cohen. Then blew it by shouting before Cohen.
Cohen knew that by working for Trump it would make him feel more important.
He has admitted that. He even went to jail for the crimes the tangerine godlet committed. He deserves a medal.
Trump loves MSDNC. He hopes all of you get well soon.
Aside from promising loyalty to DJT, he PROMISED DJT'S father protection from his less successful, moronic son.
RED Tie Brigade=The Castrato Chorus
Yes 😂
I think Trump has spent more money on private detectives than he ever has on lawyers. He has their balls in his pocket.
TRUMP ❤❤❤❤❤ 2024
MAGA MAGIC!!!
😂 The red tie brigade is the scarlet ✉️....
Cohen turned out to be a terrible witness. Who in their right mind thought this case would succeed?
Never trust a former president who wears Jim Bakker’s haircut and Tammy Faye’s makeup.
IKR you know 😂
@@charlesasmith7836your mother does
Was that supposed to be funny?😐
Must be another DEMOCRATIC Traitor to America just taking what America has to offer!!
Start learning Chinese, and Islamic, torture, the jokes on your, bad choices, Trump, demeanor? Should not be a factor, His policys, backbone, and love for America should, / these modern day democrats, will distroy your freedom, fir power control and gread, ask Hillary, Obama, and Obiden.
America is waking up! When is this channel going to be the people and not the elites
I pray and pray everyday that there will be an end to this madness. Please God lock Trump up!
you pray for the political persecution of the leading candidate? you're lost.
What did Trump do specifically to make your life worse .I doubt I'll get a coherent response

This is what losers look like. Lie,lie,lie. But, too bad their evil wishes are not coming true.
You can continue to hope.
172 days, and I am already weary of it all.
Let me vote already, and let me get some much needed sleep without politics swimming around in my head. 😊
The nightmare will not end after election day comes and goes. Did it end in 2020 after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the election? The only way the nightmare will ever end is when diaper don "bites the dust" and "pushes up daisies" as my mother used to call being dead.
Turn off the TV, radio or other media if it bothers you. Take a break from it occasionally.
“A mandatory conflict rule”. Yes. Yes. YES!!!
There would be no good way to enforce it. The political arena of the Senate would not be good. It would almost need to be a law that applies to the Supreme Court. Oh, and I do not believe that the Supreme Court has any way to expel their own members.
How many politicians are now blaming their wives Alito, Thomas , Menedez etc. Is it because they can get away with getting their spouse off or they can’t testify against it.
Jesus Christ Almighty save Donald John Trump and the United States of America.
Stormy should have been invited to the graduation, she’s been around since Barron was 4 months old
Trump will lose again in November 😂😂😂 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes blue wave 24 😄💙💙💯
Yes he will 💙💙💙💙💙
Sure he will
@Tom-xn8nn I'm a former criminal defendant Trump supporter who will vote for Biden, there's a legion of us. The majority of America always despised criminal defendant Trump & his base has shrunk bud.
@@AlTheRelic Thank you. Even if you don't agree on policy, all that can get worked out after, I don't agree with everything Democrats do, however. If trump gets into Office again, the US will become a grim place and every allie we had will turn their backs on us. trump's not a builder he's a destroyer. In his media SPAC S-4 filing he listed all of his bankruptcies and business failures and there are over a dozen. He bankrupted three casinos and hotels, how's that even possible to bankrupt a casino?
Has DA Bragg filed charges for breaking it's gag order again🤬? Especially since there's a witness who saw what it gave to it's codefendants to say🤨.
You mean the silence of the first amendment. If Trump can’t talk, are you saying nobody can talk on his side and everybody can talk on the other side? After all judge merchants, daughter is profiting off of this case and there’s no gag order on her for sure Cohan is making song and dance of this case on the internet. And he’s twice convicted of perjury before a court and Congress I’m just saying be honest. There is no crime, except Donald Trump decided to run for president! And I got a novel idea to stop him from being president. Get a candidate and vote for them in a fair election. They call it democracy. The thing they’re accusing Trump of destroying as we watch it being destroyed before our own eyes!
Why are we just now hearing about the Alito family and their "flag of distress" four years ago? Alito is despicable and the rest of the court is complicit in enabling this behavior.
NOPE. Joe Biden Hanging the Rainbow Flag next to and at the same level as the American flag, AT THE WHITEHOUSE is an abomination and a disgrace. HYPOCRITE
Yes, he should be proud of our flag, 🇺🇸. Not turn his back on the flag he swore go respect and honor.
Yeah, the Court is complicit in enforcing Freedom of Speech. Not surprised you 🏳️🌈's don't even know what the Flag in Distress even means.
And defend
Cry some more
🎵 You spin my head right round, right round 🎵 😂😂
Most Idiotic panel- join the View
The best witness is a convicted criminal..
Well sometimes criminals are the only witness. We know who Donald Trump associated with. 34 individuals and 3 Russian companies were indicted by the Mueller investigation.

The "gotcha" moment Todd Blanche was looking for never arrived for the defense.
It is my belief? we don’t care about your beliefs. That was golden.
He obliterated Michael Cohen. What are you talking about?
I fondly remember the Trump years. I'd go to Johnny's Diner for breakfast, and talk with my friends.
I can't afford to go to Johnny's. I only have meat once a day. I have substituted peanut butter for the extra meat. I remember the peanut butter and jelly sandwich my mom used to pack in my lunch in the 50's.
I can't pull jelly on the sandwich because I have type 2 diabetes.
I am retired on a fixed income.
I hear stories of White Privilege, and wonder.
That probably is good for your health and the planet. Their are plenty of vegetarian sources of protein. Beans legumes, tofu, eggs and brown rice come to mind. Every food except fruit has some protein in it. Get a nutrition book. I wish you well. We all go through hard times at some point in our lives. Even with the difficulties we face it still is better in America than in many other countries. Keep the faith. If Joe Biden can get a Democratic House and Senate things will improve. May God bless and keep you.
@@barbaras2669 The health of the planet. I don't trust the Green Agenda, because population reduction is one of its goals. Then you look at the man made virus through "gain of function research". The Pandemic was part of the Green Agenda.
I am sure that you will admit, that the Pandemic was good for the health of the planet.
Of course being part of the intelligence that you will be part of the remaining reduced part of the planet. AI might replace the intelligence.
The average man knows that you want to force us into a vegan diet.
@@barbaras2669 Let me decide what is good for my health not an incompetent President, who is destroying the economy
@@jamesmooney8933 President Biden has made your diabetes meds cheaper 😊💙💙💙
BIden is putting a cap on cost of insulin and the price of food is a worldwide issue, nothing to do with who is president. So for your own good vote blue!
Oh man, it blows me away that I never saw this before, but I love Nancy Giles..... and until I saw her sitting next to Michael Steele -- I never realized that they have the same energy. Both are over the top knowledgeable, same easy sense of humor, common sense, just all- laround good people. People you want in your life. Oh man, she would be a perfect replacement. Get Alicia to loosen up some and The Weekend would fly!
This is not even worth commenting of even listening to. I hope you all wake up one day... May God guide your souls away from the horrific trail you are in
The world is watching New York City turning into a banana republic. A lot of investors and job creators are watching too. They are wondering about their money, and what a partisan AG and DA will do to their investments if they don’t want to pay to play. I remember a Mexican investor once telling me that he invests in the U.S. because he trusted the judicial system, no matter who was president. My guess is that investors are looking at New York City now and wondering, “Why?”
Believe it or not, but New York City may be arresting an ex-president over a bookkeeping entry. It’s a bad plot but it may happen. The case is weak but there are lots of Trump haters out there who can’t get enough of him, as Eli Lake wrote:
But missing from this wall-to-wall coverage is any mention of the underlying crime that Trump falsified business records to advance his campaign. And that is a fatal flaw in the case, because New York law stipulates that falsifying business records can only be charged as felonies (as Bragg has done) if it’s done to further another crime. Trump has not been charged with another crime, though Bragg has floated the theory that the business records were falsified to deprive 2016 voters of information about his tryst with Daniels.
A crime based on a theory? Stalin would be proud. Did you hear the one about show me the man and I will find you the crime?
Is the public going to accept this type of justice? I don’t think so, which is why President Trump’s ratings are up. The combination of a more successful Trump presidency and these banana republic tactics will make 45 number 47.
My guess is that Alvin Bragg didn’t think that this “hush money” would be the only one that got a court date in 2024. He probably thought that his case would be an appetizer to the Big Three: Georgia, the documents, and January 6. Unfortunately, Mr. Bragg has picked a legal fight with Republican presidential nominee over “an untested legal theory premised on the testimony of a convicted liar.”
Double talk.
@@barbaras2669 How?
@@duncanmcgoo4891 Well there are so many examples but I will just deal with first that caught my attention. You called New York a banana republic. It certainly is not a country that tried to overthrow a leader. You know Trump had 4 years to overthrow that banana republic and did nothing. In fact Trump spent almost his whole life in that banana republic. You accuse the DA and I think the AG of corruption. Why didn't Trump get rid of them? If they were not in their present positions they were in the government. Trump did try and did succeed in dismissing some but the light it cast on him showed his own criminal tendencies. No court case can be brought up without a basis. Yet this case has commenced. You argue that prosecutors have not shown an underlying cause but Cohen's testimony and documents and other witnesses shows that Trump paid the "hush money" because of his fear it would hurt his election chances. It also shows that Trump lied about the value of his properties thus cheating on his tax bill. But this will be up to the jury to decide if the prosecutors met their burden of proof not you or I. Having been a juror and only on a civil case I know the burden that the jurors face. I do not believe that they or any juror wants the guilt of wrongfully convicting any individual no matter what his station is in life.
That judge has thrown her wife under the big school bus.

"He made a mistake.... (Cohen committed perjury. Again.)
I’ve never seen a host use their hands more when opening a segment
Alvin Bragg should charge Michael Cohen with perjury. That's a case he could actually win. He can call the jurors as witnesses.
How’s the economy since 2020? No…don’t want to talk about it? Better keep distracting…
Economically it's the best in the world. Inflation is slowly going down. And that's why Trump is so worried. Remember we are here because Trump mishandled the Pandemic crisis.
