Juries dont like A holes in a courtroom no matter what side they're on
Fact.
@@jabbermocky4520 I know. I've been in a thousand courtrooms
@@burtvhulberthyhbn7583Do you mean you've seen alot of court cases?
True. In the one case I was a juror for, one side called a witness who attempted to renege on what he had said during an earlier deposition, repeatedly saying "I don't remember" with a smirk on his face. I wanted to ask the judge if he could reprimand this guy & maybe let him cool his heels in a cell for a while.
@@llywrch7116 I also know an ex Cop who was advised to say 'I don't recall', whenever he was in a tight spot over a civil rights lawyer pressing him on a racist bit of policing.
It's the standard cops' method of avoiding perjury.
And yet Trump rolls his eyes and gives side eye, but special treatment...
...as Biden sniffs yet another prepubescent child 🫤
HE AIN'T ON THE STAND IS HE 🤔😏😂
@@SNOOPYSNOOP1A Let him take the Stand. It will be good Rally for him.
Oh no. Wait a minute. You're allowed to lie continuously at rallies.
@@IntelligentArtefact HE SAID HE CAN'T TAKE THE STAND BECAUSE OF HIS GAG ORDER 🤣🤣🤣
Right. Very on brand for the don. While complaining about how he "can't say anything" - because of the gag orders - he talks for hours about the trial.🤣
Soon Trump will slip his defense lawyers a post-it note that says .. I CAN"T PAY YOU
Not with fiat us dollars, that is, Matey! 🏴☠️🦜☠️
I Won't pay you!
They'll get paid in Trump Media stock options. Right before trump short sells and tanks the entire company.
😂
Trump: 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 you really thought I was going to pay you? 😳😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Why is everyone so surprised Michael Cohen did well in this…he testified with congress and was cool, calm, and collected then….please. Whether you like him or not, he held up under congress testimony so they should not have expected any less.
BECAUSE THE MEDIA IS DRAMA 🎭 QUEENS 👑 😂😂
I predicted that Mr. Cohen would remain cool under pressure and that the defense would "lose it", emotionally. I was right. Cohen has changed on the inside. He's a man who can look back and see where he has made poor judgements about certain personalities. He can now see where his own personality was at fault. His family really loves him and that made all the difference in helping him to grow up and take responsibility. What's Trump's family all about? Certainly not love.
He held up like any perjurer would. Come on man!
But Cohen didn’t do well.
@@garyelder4610 exactly my point.
Belittling a judge and his daughter is plain juvenile.period!
You mean a judge who is bias and his daughter who takes millions of contributions from the democrats 😂
8 years of Election Interference is treason Stalin playbook
The jury saw that costello is trumps kind of lawyer.a 'criminal' lawyer for sure😂
Keep Drinking MSDNC Kool-aid Stay Miserable and Misinformed 😂
Cry Harder Commie 😂
Cohen admitted to stealing from Trump. A liar and a thief, that’s your hero.
Costello was Cohen's lawyer, not trump's
@@denisebragg6211Costello was never actually Cohen's lawyer. He consulted with Cohen for a few weeks before Michael decided to go 28th someone else
The defense is chock full of drama queens and I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Costello was pulled in by the defendant to try and get a mistrial. The next week or two is going to be completely ridiculous, but it'll end in a guilty verdict.
Trump is brain dead.
TOO BAD HE FAILED HUH 😂
I hope and pray you’re right
Then comes the eternal appeals...
Based on what?
They called Costello to say what Trump has been dying to say.
AND HE ALMOST LANDED IN JAIL BECAUSE OF IT TOO 😂
Do you think it was appropriate for Joe Biden to shower with his teenage daughter? In her diary, she spoke of showering late at night only after her father had gone to sleep so he wouldn't join her -- Pg. 11.
Yes and the truth hurts for the prosecution
Going against his lawyers and insisting he goes on the stand . Sounds like witness tampering!
That’s so obvious. Just like his mouth pieces outside the court house trashing the judges daughter.
Imagine how productive the GOP Would be if they could form an original thoughts.
All this time spent scoring a few points with Cohen then flush it down hard with your key witness clown show. They would have been better off not crossing Cohen and calling no witnesses.
The Trump team killed it with Costello witness.
Its bogus.
Trump calling the shots. He is slowly digging his own grave.
I just know Trump was the one who called for that defense witness.😂
Costello was called due to Trump’s insistence
@@artandarchitecture6399according to reports, you're right. Blanche apparently didn't want to call him
Robert Costello shouldn't "NEED" to "UNDERSTAND" what the Judge said - being a lawyer - Costello is "EXPECTED" to know the Rules and Proper Decorum in a Court of Law!
Related to Frank Costello in the Meyer "LASKY" Netflix movie. Judge knows history.
Cry Harder ❤
What's the reason for the quotation marks?
Why don’t you share with us what Costello said about Cohen because Joy Reid has no interest in doing that….
Trump's supporters are illiterate.
Understated description of witness Costello
I hope the defense now calls MTG, boebert and kari lake to help trump some more! 😊
Or that Keith guy😂😂😂
Don't forget the infamous Pillow Guy!!
Talk about a crap-fest!
--Nest of perverts and fraudsters.
I think Cohan just blew the case. No crime anyway
That is the Problem he Defense has, Doing What Trump Wants. LOL LOL
hopefully trump will convince his legal defense that he must testify. I wanna hear this! 😊
Can you imagine how many people have been mistreated n bullied while this guy was a cop…
Do you think it was appropriate for Joe Biden to shower with his teenage daughter? In her diary, she spoke of showering late at night only after her father had gone to sleep so he wouldn't join her -- Pg. 11.
Like Biden treats Americans?
@@Crimso6deflection yet again?
@@Crimso6Liar
When trump was president, i had money in my savings. Biden took over and lil by lil my savings has depleted and biden says everything is fine and going good. Yeah, to him it is. My money in the economy instead of my bank, that how he wants it, that worthless SOB.
Love Lisa Rubin's incisive analysis. 🎯
It’s a bad mistake for a lawyer to get on the witness stand and say things that could create a mistrial. That is a sure way to anger a judge.
Ties to Rudy is a death sentence.
Same as Trump
Lol
so the guy admits to lieing on the stand and that means nothing
Unless you run a landscaping company.
Well said❤
Nice summary of the case today, thank you
How'd it turn out for you, specifically?
They only forgot the small titbit about cohen Admitting on the stand that he stole $60,000 from Trump…. And the prosecutors didn’t charge him
So not a good day for prosecution or msnbc
Which is why you won’t hear MSNBC talk about it
"You lied constantly didn't you?", and for Cohen to reply "Yes, I was a lawyer for Donald Trump"
💯💯✌️😂😅😂😅
Cohen just admitted to committing grand larceny. His credibility: discredited.
Trump ❤
Cohen admitted to Grand Larceny.
If Michael Cohen just has to answer questions with truthful answers, that makes it a lot easier.
HE KEPT RECEIPTS AS WE SAY IN THA HOOD ✊️😎✌️😅😂
@@SNOOPYSNOOP1Abut he didn’t though. There is more evidence that his phone call about paying Stormy was actually about a 14 year old boy sending text messages and if he stole from Trump what else could he have done without Trump knowing?
for all of us. . . (•‿•)
@@SNOOPYSNOOP1Areceipts he has that he paid with stolen money, are you not paying attention what he did??
@@jesusrivera2970 YEAH BUT ON REAL AMERICAN CABLE-SATELLITE T.V BECAUSE COHEN WROTE ABOUT THAT INCIDENT 4 YEARS AGO IN 1 OF HIS BOOKS & YOU DON'T SEE OUR MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG CHARGING HIM FOR THAT DO YOU, I'LL WAIT 🤔😏😅😂🤣
If only :
If only the judge would ask Costello, are you trying to get a reaction out of my decisions to later whine about?
Costello: "Look over here! Look over here!"
Disrespect characterizes trump and his cohorts - over all disrespect for the law, and in this case for the judge.
Thank You, Joy. Appreciate Your Work.
✌🏼💙✊🏼
Didn’t do Donald Tramp much good!!
Remember J6 ,Project 25 , women rights to there bodies the right to vote right to chose who u love Delay Court and so much more so American 🇺🇸 what we going do about it !!!!!!!!
It takes a criminal to catch a criminal Costello
Then go after Biden!
"A little bit of a disaster"????? Costello was an outright catastrofuck.
Whomever that sketch artist is that you feature in your thumbnail, that person should probably find a different outlet for their talents.
the defense claiming that the USD130,000.00 Trump paid Cohen was the total accumulation of USD35,000.00 a month of Cohen"s "SALARY" as a retainer does not add up in simple math! USD130,000.00/USD35,000.00 give it an 3.71 quotient! crazy excuse!
YUP YUP 😂
Keep Up. They hid the 130,000 within some other costs to try and avoid detection. It's on Wesselberg's handwritten piece of evidence...which will NAIL Trump, because it corroborates all Cohens (otherwise suspect) evidence.
The jury saw Costello's CONTEMPT for the judge, the court and the Law. Even though they did not hear Judge Mechan's dressing down of Costello, they will take Costello's arrogance into account in their decision, and it won't be in Trump's favor.
Jail trump and make America Great Again
3rd Atmosphere; first density
@@Laurie-xu6foclearly you are speaking about yourself 😂 with that comment.😅
Why does the court artist keep on drawing Michael Cohen like Quasimodo....
😤☝️ DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRISON 2024!
You do realize that just isn't going to happen, right?
@@denisebragg6211 😤☝️ UNFORTUNATELY, YES I REALIZE THAT! BUT I'M NOT TYPING IT BECAUSE IT'S GONNA HAPPEN, I TYPED IT IN BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN! AND I WILL CONTINUE TO TYPE IT IN! BUT I DO PLAN ON VOTING, AND VOTING ALL BLUE!🫂🙏💙🇺🇸
I wish. However, I’m pretty well convinced that trump will be found innocent and in addition he will be reelected. Sad, but true. Women and minorities and immigrants will be hit the hardest. The economy will fail.

Besides Rudy Giuliani, Robert Costello has also been attorney for Steve Bannon.
Great update
Thank you all
💙💙💙💙👍👍👍👍💙💙💙💙
I think you're great, Ms Reid; but I think you may have misread the prompter when you said "battling cleanup" instead of the phrase that makes much more sense there: "batting cleanup". But you keep on keepin' on, cause your show is excellent and I listen to you and your guests all the time for you perspective.
You must be a White female liberal. Ever work a day in your life?
A liar, cheat, untrustworthy, vengeful, benefit himself….Blanche is literally describing his client🤡🙄🤬
Defense Case, or lack thereof.
JOY, You look marvelous!
She has the haircut of a 12 year old boy. It’s also cultural appropriation lol
@@reason6835 grow up

Ur serious?😂
Thank you Joy for calling these people out for speaking poorly of Michael.
😂😂😂
Reid is as a big of a scam as cohen. They both will be at getmo before long.
Castillo couldn't wait for court to be over so he could ask trump to give him a 🐕 treat for being a GOOD BOY
Anyone who’s associated with Trump has a credibility problem.
Defense started weak, Robert Costello put them in Intensive Care. Wow!
If Cohen has admitted to a crime in the case, I would take that as a sign that he might be telling the whole truth.
EXACTLY 😂
He’s already served time in prison for this very mess. Now it’s drumpf’s turn.
I hope his conviction is ready cuz I’m ready… guilty on all counts! Period!😎✌️
What evidence tied him to any wrongdoing? Cohen stole from him.
They should start writing the Conviction decision.
You only watch msnbc, you have no idea how poorly this is going for the prosecution 😂
They knew what they were doing - trying to get the judge angry at the defense witness and use that in their appeal.
I do not understand why these videos are edited the way they are. Segments are cut off mid-sentence, or mid-exchange. It always feels so abrupt and like there's information missing.
I was given the understanding that if you attempted to undermine the judges authority or question his acts in any way that is contempt of Court. Thus grounds for imprisonment !
👏👏👏 back judge marchon!! U read" Costello today lol,u will not say geeze u will not roll your eyes at me u staring me down? Trump all that with jury sitting there priceless
Keep Drinking MSDNC Kool-aid Stay Miserable and Misinformed 😂
Trump Won

WTH put him in jail so what the heck his lawyers and followers would do?
Cry harder 😥

Crying is all Donald has done while in and out of court for the last two months. Keep crying Ken.@@kenc7120
LOL Trump is not going to jail.
Great way to start off your defense😂
A GREAT WAY TO GET AN EVEN WORSE PRISON SENTENCE TOO 😂😂
@@SNOOPYSNOOP1A Right 🤣
Luv Lisa !!!!!
I gonna tell my boss how much bonus i deserve,and not steal it!
Donald was a crappy wannabe dictator of the free world
I mean is it really stealing when it was already stolen by trump?
But he did steal and he admitted it.
BSNPC is only ever RIDICULOUS. .
I don't know why Costello's picture reminded me of The Penguin from Batman.
If this ends with an 11-1 hung jury I'm going to think there's a problem.
YUP YUP 💯💯
He's the type of Judge they needed in Mar-A-Lago
Thank u JOY “Speak the truth “Keep up the good work 😊
U must be joking?😂
Joy, you can sure spin a story but you can't change the truth.
Difference between Lou Costello and Robert Costello?
Lou was a slow witted clown in a good way.
Im so glad they redirected
Is costello gonna need a lawyer soon?
Hopefully, American lawyers haven’t been using trump et al for lawyering pointers. Been a long bit of stupidity in the courtroom.
That's because the judge d didn't let them 😅
Went as far as reprimanding costello 😂
Trump sleeping 😴 😴 again in court.😂😂
Fart nap. #
"He hosts a freaking podcast" . . . have you watched Jordan Peterson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram? Need I say more? Hosting a podcast means nothing regarding political or academic rigor.
Nobody would want a client like Trump, I'd think. Nobody would like a neighbor like Trump. Who would want to vote such such a man. You could be their scapegoat in a moment. Who would want to be their VP??? Yet look. A sucker born ever minute.
YUP YUP 😂
Did you read the transcripts? Total hacks!
"The people rest." Oh, may it soon be so.
Ms. Reid and Mr. O'Donnell are my favorite hosts because of their commitment to calling out the hypocrisy and criminality of trump and his spineless maga-gop representatives.
Isn't Trump taking the stand next ?
No, of course not. He isn't required to prove anything.
Which case is this one?
But he said he would, and the judge said he could, and we all think he should. Cowardy pants trump.
@@Laurie-xu6fo the business records one in NY. It's state, not federal.
We all hoping 😂
Trump’s lawyers are making me do research on what law schools they went too because I don’t want my grandchildren to go to those schools forsure
Yeah, you want them attend Cohen’s school. There they will learn how to steal from their client, lie to put blame on other people, and release recordings of clients. 😂 🫵🤡
Costello now him and trump made for each other 😮
Not normally a fanboy but Brains and Beauty Joy Reid. Normally I am the one fact checking and sharing. Great change. 😄
That's because they won't hear the truth. They will do anything to but his name down.
There’s a reason the judge refused to allow cameras in..it’s so they can go on the media and tell you Trump didn’t absolutely prove this is a sham trial. I guess it’s better than the prosecutor saying “he’s too old and senile to be held accountable, but he’s also our best candidate so we’re running him again”
they don't have to land any punches the witness is punching himself
If only...
If only Trump had the foresight to satisfy the white house positional aspiration of Cohen's.
But foresight and Trump might be found together only under the heading of oxymorons.
Well, I mean, why would they even try hard when your prosecution did all their work for them?
No one has to smear him, he smeared himself just fine
Joyless Reid 💀
I don't understand, Costello's comments hit so hard in the echo chamber. Why couldn't he destroy Michael Cohen in the real world?
These types of cases don't belong n the courts. Everyone has a right to call our stupid judges who are ruining our country with their incompetent rulings.
So manipulating an election by suppressing information via Business Fraud is NOT a legal case in your imaginary world ???
In every cross examination it should be understand as something that corroborate with case as a whole. Proving that a witness is a liar is the fact should be cleared from what are the evidence submitted.
Thank God for Joy.
Someone has to put paint on the turd for ya. Might as well be her. She has cool Trump hair.
What did Cohen go to jail for?
Blanche: So you did steal 30k from the Trump organization?
Cohen: "Yes Sir!!"
What a Maroon!!🐰 Case dismissed.😂😂
Michael Cohen grows on you, his character, personality has that ability on people and this 6 day break from court proceedings will serve as "incubation period", enough time for the prosecution's stellar witness to end up on the good side of everyone, including the jury (•‿•)
What? 😂 🫵🤡
Your TDS is outstanding!!
@@CreatureFeature666 The Daily Show _is_ really good lately, I agree.
Thanks Joy 💙💙💙💙
Trump's clown car picked up a new passenger - Robert Costello. 😗
Why did donnie lie and say he would take the stand ... but then didn't? Obvious. He's a guilty coward, and we're not tired yet of watching him lose.
Seriously?

This is creepy.
Mafia Costello Gangsta. The defense were doing okish with Cohen but Jeez they call Costello and scores an own goal.
Prosecution should be worried.
Very worried. Lol
Why is the shouty Aussie a guest? His only vague connection is having worked at the National Enquirer. He's only a journalist if you use the broadest most generous meaning of the term.
