I don't agree with all Democrat views, but I see more of me in the Democrat party than MAGA. I am Ridin with Biden
In your Prius ?
@@MochaMan. I want a president who can say “Russia” without climaxing.
That's the Democratic party Trumper. Not the Democrat party.
Putin told Trump if he sends Maga to fight on the front line, he would loan him half a billion.😂
Do you know what a woman is?
To quote a stable genius: "Anyone that pleads the 5th is guilty" - Donald J. Trump.
Pelosi's recycle bin is full of 5ths
There is absolutely nothing Christian when it comes to MAGA and the GOP.
That's what Christianity is. If you are Christian and their behavior doesn't reflect your values, you are the outlier. Not them.
Their orange Jesus is what they worship.
The Orange Mussolini needs to wear Herman Munster boots to keep from tipping over while the Easter Bunny leads him away from the press repeat the line end of quote oops almost forgot goodnight Jill repeat the line end of quote
Expert on the Christian heart, are ya?
The republican politicians belong to a special branch of Christianity. They have tremendous compassion for large corporations and the very wealthy (who give them money). For regular people, they talk a good game, but don't care at all.
M.A.G.A. people have lived in a Democracy and rights their whole lives and yet they want to take this away from future generations of Americans - the selfishness of these - what ever they are is astounding .
A revolution with stated goals is one thing
To give your freedom or life
In an attempt to overthrow the govt for a morally bankrupt racist liar
Get help please
You are correct. Republicans took Trump off the ballot in Maine, Colorado, Illinois etc WITHOUT DUE PROCESS. Those darn Republicans!
We already stole all of your opportunities and your ability to buy a home. So now you'll give us the rest.
Constitutional Republic. You wish this was a Democracy...
Today's Republicans are yesterday's Confederates.
Trump says Micheal Cohen is a terrible lawyer, yet he employed him for twelve long years. Hard to take Trump's claim seriously.
He is a terrible lawyer! Cohen did the easy things. He was never in the legal department of the company. And Trump liked him because he bought a lot of properties from Trump. -- Only if the jury are 12 die hard partisans and stupid, will Trump be convicted. Cohen just bombed the whole case up, and showed the prosecutors to be incompetent and corrupt. Not just stealing money. But stole from the same pool of money that the prosecutors claim Trump approved!!!! The case is done!!
Finally we have a crime and a victim. The crime? Grand larceny. The victim? Trump. Who did that? Cohen.
A "good" lawyer ( ethical, moral, honest) would never work for Trump
Hard to take the testimony from a convicted PERJERUR who ADMITTED to committing LARCENY (a far worse crime than Trump is accused of) by stealing $61K from Trump while employed by Trump
@@markfeland2285 Mr. Cohen quit when he grew a conscious.
@@conniewojahn6445 nah, not buying it. He didn't quit. He got thrown under the bus after taking a hit for the boss. His redemption tour is BS. But his information is still important. I don't have to believe he grew a conscience to believe he's telling the truth here.

He knows the law, he just refutes it for his own gain

@@jimmyjames6487really?
@@jimmyjames6487when you try to insult someone, try and back it up with substance, I know that is difficult for maga idiots, but try.
Oh sure, you know that, LOL. KEY BACKGROUND
Costello previously served as an assistant U.S. attorney at the Southern District of New York and has worked in private practice for more than 30 years, according to his LinkedIn page. A graduate of Fordham University School of Law, Costello currently works as a partner at the law firm Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP. Besides Giuliani, he’s done work for clients including former New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, former Yankees manager Gene Michael, businesswoman Leona Helmsley and former drug program agents who filed an employment lawsuit against the National Football League.

Trump wanted Costello on the stand so Trump could act vicariously through him.
You are right. diaper don did that with the clowns in red ties mouthing off in front of the court house.
At his core, Don is just a former producer of a TV game show. Optics are very important. I believe he wanted this nut on the stand, and he wanted him to act a fool. Then, the judge would throw him in jail for contempt of court. Trump would use that as a 'look at how he treated my witness' victim situation.
@@lastjob2011 he's not even that. He's an incompetent bully who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and as a consequence, has never learned to control himself.

Unfortunately there's an awful lot of fools out there
So you think he's innocent?

He just did. Turn on MSNBC!
He plead the 5th GUILTY chicken man
I took my jury duty very seriously. We did as we were instructed, did not talk about the case until we were told we could. I'm sure this jury is doing the same and whatever the outcome, we will all have to live with their decision.
diaper don has a "sleeper" in the jury who will vote to let him go
I've taken both of my jury occasions very seriously. In the first, the judge told us, "We are not stretching this out. You will decide this afternoon." The case was about a Cuban couple who crashed their car into a Haitian couple's car, which was destroyed. There were six of us, and I and the black woman said it was clearly the former's fault. We saw the traffic footage and studied the reconstruction drawings. The four Cuban jurors decided on the basis of nationality and race. It broke my heart. But I believe this doesn't happen most of the time.
On November 5, the American people will speak.
Let's hear that beautiful verdict: "GUILTY!"
"Sleep well. You have friends in high places" is a threat
Reminds me of the horse head scene.
Diaper Don's bone spurs are cold!!!
Thank you, Mr. Costello. Rudy couldn’t have done a better job of sinking Trump. Sadly he was detained.
it about what you would expect from the mob,
Diaper Don has to sit in his SOILED DIAPERS until the judge grants a break, then Waltine Nauta can change his diaper!!! Pathetic!!!
She has a great journalistic history and seems to be a lovely person, but Andrea Mitchell has to go. Her halting delivery and fumbling questions just get in the way of important reporting. She is at the table with two brilliant reporters who show her to be a nostalgic redundancy. Come on MSNBC, move her along, please!
When will these wonderful ladies learn we want to hear from the experts not the anchors??? Stop interrupting 😊
How many times did Waltine Nauta change the diapers today????
Remember the time the stable genius stared directly at a solar eclipse???

_Don't do this_ ~ *amen*
There needs to be new court rules allowing prosecutors to bring everything a defendant says in public to court even after discoveries and arguments are done. The jury shouldn't be forced to ignore all of the self-incriminating stuff a defendant says out of court for the sole reason that discovery in the case is over and no additional evidence can be presented when the defendant keeps producing new materially relevant evidence every waking hour.
Court is somber, not a National Enquirer story.....
How is Costello testifying about what his former client Cohen told him not a violation of attorney/client privilege?
Cohen never hired him. Costello wrote in the famous email, "Is he totally nuts? He's playing with the most powerful man on the planet."
So Cohen may have waivered privilege in connection with this case, but in 2017-2018 i doubt he would have.. However it seems now Costello by emails presented on cross in this trail indicates that during 2018 Costello violated confidentiality, and it is now on the record in this case. I hope someone on Cohen’s behalf finds he has the grounds to report Costello to the bar
Cohen never hired him. There was never any privilege. The famous email was when Costello wrote to a law partner, "He's crazy to go up against the most powerful man in the world," or words to that effect.
They must see the ratio....
Dont get it 🤔🤔🤔
Everybody connected to this case appears to be morally flexible to me.
Costello was the Prosecutor's best friend. They should take him out for lunch and thank him for helping them.
We're a great nation because the majority of us support democracy, law, order, justice , and equal rights for law abiding citizens.
I love the way Andrew Weissman causally mentions that he sat on a jury. If I were on trial and I saw Andrew Weissman in the jury box I would confess to everything I was charged with AND that I started the Chicago fire LOL!
When the captain wants to sink his own ship he looks to his first mate and that's what Trump did lol Abandon Trump 2024
So who wrote "legal expenses" in the books and who told them to write that? Did the checks say legal expenses?
Hey MSNBC: Now that we know Katy Tur was a go-to reporter helping Trump's campaign, should she really be covering this story?
Does the Jury determine the penalty for a guilty verdict ?????
I hope the jury deliberates fairly and carefully. It has been great to see Justice Merchan being careful to protect Trump's rights despite Trump's abhorrent behavior towards the justice system and even Merchan's family. The fact that he wouldn't bring the agreement between Trump and Weiselberg into evidence makes it clear he is not helping the prosecution.
It looks like Trump is guilty, but that is what a jury is for. There should be no question about the validity of the verdict.
U all going to be surprised

5:11 I’m glad he said that. I was a juror and took it very seriously. I don’t appreciate what Michelle whatshername was insinuating.
❤❤❤❤Incarcerated Blacks for Trump❤❤❤❤
I didn’t know JB Smoove was an attorney.
Jury members have brains and a life before they serve. They don't arise out of a vacuum. A defendant is entitled to due process and a presumption of innocence under the law. If they have become a public laughingstock, that's not on the jury.
I hope we hear a lot more about Poll Payoffs. $20,000. sounds lowball to me.
Vote blue freedom 💙

I have a hard time following what Andrea Mitchell says.
Have you ever played a game with a cheater who got caught? I have. They typically smile and admit it. This what's going on here.
This is one of the most important cases in U.S. history. I'd go to some yoga retreat in western NY or MA, an all inclusive in Fl. Fxxing Disneyland if I had to. Not impossible to stay away from NEWS media or social media for only a few days.
How can anyone say this stuff is fair? The Defense couldn't ask a question. The State objected to everything
You can counter an objection if you have a valid reason.
From what I've seen, they couldn't even get the questions out.
The teenage troll farm boss has the kids on overtime this week. Must be worried.
Why not do it.....their never held accountable...,.
If toilets really flushed like Trump wanted them too, he would have been gone a long time ago.
Sounds like Costello was coached by Trump, be belligerent, fight back yadda yadda.

Jurors can and often do rise to the occasion. The average person is not as entrenched as the two opposite poles. Court rooms are serious places, and it does instill a sense of duty in the average person. To break away from what’s expected usually requires someone who is recalcitrant and unwilling to consider things from another person’s perspective. And for the most part, attorneys are pretty good at weeding out these people. In part because their recalcitrance is worn on their sleeve like a badge. In many cases they have established patterns of speaking without regard to those around them. That lack of practice of self control and speaking about things in moderate terms will cause these types of potential jurors to be dismissed for cause. Most just can’t help themselves. Or believe their signs of disgust or loyalty are subtle.
The only thing that Trump can run is his mouth!
Why is everyone so mad on this? Lol😂.
gee, I guess the rest of us dont want Hitler as our God....
Andrea, you are still a terrific newscaster. ❤
Nothing meets the 'beyond reasonable doubt' threshold in all 34 counts. It's all theories and assumptions to try to directly implicate the accused
Here we go again with Dems BS 😂
Of course the weak minded will call Costello's testimony contemptuous. Because he's accurate. Marchan is a weak man with no ability to let his ego be so bruised.
Now he's looking at a long, strenuous weekend of uncertainty.

Sure, maybe next time theres a wild fire, you might get close to what the immigrants are getting instead of a measly 700 bucks.
