Real men take the stand and testify..
Oh I bet you people want him to testify. I hope he doesn’t. He doesn’t really need to. Michael Cohen was exposed for the liar that he is, and his former attorney can sink the whole case if the defence asks him to testify. I hope they do
I see no trolls taking on this comment.
@@wanajday That’s because they haven’t a leg to stand on.
@@JD365-ls5cw🤮💩👈
When your fixer and CFO are in prison or have been in prison for doing your bidding, you also should be in prison.
Cohen was in prison because of his own actions. Do democrats ever take responsibility for their crimes??
Google James Trusty testimony.
@@gratefulfredly8643 BOT
Awe, poor little Trumps red tie goon squad has to show up to look all big and tough, while Michael Cohen is on the stand. Sure seems to me, that those same goons should actually be doing their actual jobs, instead of trying to manipulate the court. 🤔 no one is blind or stupid to the stunt that is happening.
@@gratefulfredly8643 James Trusty seems like a smart strategist.
Register early and vote every republican out of office everywhere. 🌊🇺🇲👍
Donald Trump was the first president since the Great Depression to preside over a net job loss. The US economy lost 2.9 million jobs. 202,543 jobs were offshored. 1,800 factories closed.
There was a global pandemic. Prior to it he had created more jobs than Biden by more than 3 million.
Thanks for that but Biden isnt spelt that way!!!!
President Trump is leading in almost every single poll. 🙂
It is bizarre how MAGA continues to blame President Biden for an economy that resulted from Covid but will never blame Trump for the economy damaged by Covid on his watch. In reality neither is to blame for that event, only their reaction to it. Trumps reaction was to minimize and conceal it by his shortcomings and Bidens it to HEAL the economy. Trump, to save himself the embarrassment, tried to disparage medical professionals who wouldn't play along with his nonsensical agenda. He also ruined the reputation of some, who didn't speak up against his inaccuracies, like Dr. Birx. In the end, Trump never cared about the fallen, the hero's of medicine who worked for the people. Trump only cared about himself, his legacy and his political future, so typical of him.
He was the best President of my lifetime.
Sickening and embarrassing GOP
Menendez, Hunter, Joe Bribin the kid sniffing President.
The clown show that turned up today eclipses anything anyone else has done.
You poor baby, you better stock up on tissues, you’ll need more in November 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Michael Cohen did way better than portrayed by Ari Melber. Trump is a scavenger and instead of napping, he should take the stand if he is soo innocent. Vote blue massively.
It’s the prosecutor that has to prove that Trump is guilty. Trump doesn’t have to prove
his innocence.
Literally every other news outlet is saying Cohen got caught lying on the stand about the very conversation that was supposed to show criminal intent. EVERY OTHER NEWS OUTLET.
He won't take the stand. That's just empty bragging.
Ari is walking the tight rope.
The Democrats are in full panic over Trump. They don't have a champion for the presidential election 2024 and they know it.

Why?
@@JD365-ls5cw wrote: "their lawfare efforts"
Not at all what's happening. Democrats have nothing to do with Trump's legal situation. Trump is the responsible party for his legal wows. Grand juries weighed the evidence against Trump and voted to indict him. Your claims are just the parroted false claims of Mr. Trump. Hope this helps.
Trump brought all his hemorrhoids to court
He is a hemorrhoid.
Amen they all make me sick poor excuses of human beings they cannot be in the office we've got to get them all out talk about draining the swamp
😂 Bingo!
He is saying the same things he said several years ago. His story isn't changing over time. He has a right to be angry and bitter about the way he was treated. He helped his boss and got sent to jail for it while nothing happened to the man who's dirty work he did. He has a right to be angry. Doesn't mean he's lying. But people will believe what feeds the story they want to believe.
Agree.
He had lied multiple times and his story has changed.
@@alanakafang6143 he lied for his boss...and his story changed when he told the truth
Michael Cohen is a proven liar no matter how you try spinning it 😆

Slander is a crime. Intimidation of jury and court members is also a crime
There is no crime.
Stormy is guilty of a crime then...
Yes, saying that Trump has a tinyD and he's a two pump Trump is slander. When MSDNC stalked jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, it was a crime. A real news network would talk about both sides.
Cohen is not on trial here. Trump is!
Ari we know you don’t like Cohen but stop acting like the prosecution’s case is bad. Calling it a bloodbath makes you sound like Fox News in your shows.
Ari belongs on Fox.
Sounding like Tucker.
Why isn't it defamation in regard to the judge's daughter?
Right! Trump and his crazy fans will go after her and Stormy….I hope they have security !!!
I still say the documents, the checks, Stormy, the recording and the stuff that DJT has said himself, proves guilt.
There is no crime. Proves nothing.
The checks and documents don’t show criminal intent, which is needed to get a conviction. That’s precisely why they put Cohen on the stand. And now it’s looking like Cohen lied about the very conversation that was supposed to show intent.
. Just election interference. They don't have that in soviRussia
@@davidwelsh8026 guess we'll find out what a jury of his peers think. Crime or no crime. Soon I hope.

What a disappointment hearing you Ari talking this way just because you have an issue with Cohen but fortunately its just your opinion....very disappointed
Im with you on that.
Literally every other news outlet reported on this long before Ari told you. This story broke at 11am.
Same 🫤
I actually think it was a far more measured commentary than what has come out of MSNBC. Cohen might be doing the right thing now, but he is still far from being a good person.

he paid her. its legal.....every state allows these type of payments. What is the crime?
@@tarheelfangp read the indictment. He told a porky pie saying (in writing) that payments were for legal fees when they were electoral expenses to cover up a booboo in the height of his campaign.
@@tarheelfangp Then why did he cover it up. Outside of an election campaign the payment would be legal, but once it is part of an election campaign it is not. Furthermore, stating on business record that it was for legal expenses is not legal and it possibly tax fraud.
@@nlwilson4892 This is not true......politicians are allowed to pay off people with settlements and NDAs.....you have to stop thinking the payment was the alleged crime, it is not a crime. If he used campaign finance funds to pay it and not personal funds, it would have been a crime in violation of campaign finance laws.
I have been arguing the Trump defense is incompetent for not just admitting the payment was made and it wasn't a crime (because it isn't one). Would shut off most of the prosecution's attacks. Pretty sure Trump's ego is preventing that. I picture him talking to his lawyers behind the scenes and being like, "There was no payment, don't admit a payment. There was no affair."
The second part of your comment gets more to the crux of the issue, after the payment was made was there a plot to "cover it up" by falsifying Trump's business ledgers. Or was the entry of "legal expense" (paid to trump's lawyer by the way) vs. "reimbursement" a book keeping error? That is what the prosecution actually needs to prove. Intent to falsify the record BY TRUMP not anyone else. Dunno if they have gotten there. If they do, they also have to prove it was done with intent to aid in the commission of another crime......which again I still don't believe they have proven, and they are out of witnesses.
Another common misconception is that the payment which was annotated "legal expense" in the ledger was to stormy daniels. It was not. It was to Cohen, Trump's attorney/fixer at the time to reimburse Cohen for a payment to Daniels. So is reimbursement to your lawyer for services rendered (here a hush money payment/NDA) not in fact a "legal expense?" I think you can argue both ways honestly. This is where to me it gets a bit into the weeds. I am not a fan of Trump or any of this to be clear, but this is what we as Americans get to go through haha. We will see what the jury thinks....
Why isn't Melania by her man ?
It's not in the prenup...
At least keep the facts straight - the t-shirts weren't his, rather they belong to the Meidas Touch Network. That's what he said and your reporting on this was not only biased but misleading. A correction would be appropriate. Check your facts first.

Oh, I didn't know the trial was about Cohen and not Trump! Although, I am seeing a very scared MAGA. Quite the MAGA freak show.
Ari, you are disappointing me. First you reported that Michael Cohen sold trump merchandise when it really was Meidas Touch store merchandise. His book’Revenge’ wasn’t about HIS revenge, but Trump’s. I used to consider you a truth teller- but some of your reporting is inaccurate and I never see a retraction or clarification. Do proper journalism! Fact check if you get it wrong- correct it - Journalism 101!
Agree 100%
This.
I agree with you 💯

Ari, Cohen is not the one on trial. He’s a witness, and you’re picking him apart like you have something personally against him. Why?
Cohen criticized Ari for recently interviewing a guy from prison who has cheated Stormy Daniel's. Ari's ego couldn't take it so he is throwing Michael to the lions.
