#Trump #DonaldTrump #michaelcohen
Everything Trump touches dies. We've seen this movie before! Trump demands his lawyers do something. They do it. It blows up in his face. He blames his lawyers.
Exactly nobody likes Trump that's why he's winning in every single swing State and that's why he got a 100,000 people to show up in deep blue New Jersey they're only showing up to support him cuz they don't like him we keep telling everybody the orange man's bad they have to know by now
It's going to be the lawyers it's going to be the judge it's going to the prosecutors it's going to be the jury it's going to be Biden...
That's typical for him. He craps all over everything and expects it to come out smelling like roses. This is not anyone who should be in control of a country.
YESSS. 😮
What evidence has Bragg presented linking Trump to the ledger entries?
Cohen served him time for his transgressions.
FCP Pensacola awaits Trump.
No.he didn't that's why still being monitored got turned down 4 times to overturn it quit being fake
Cohen is getting ready to serve more time. He just admitted to stealing almost 60k from trump. You can't make this up 😂
How? 🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏
AMANI, There won't be any golden toilets in the correctional system. But Bubba will be there to help him every way he can
Time to back off your meds. Trump has done nothing deserving of jail time. The Democrats on the other hand...
Worst day in court for the Trumpster so far.
It must have been awful for the blue suit minions to sit there and hear it. Although most days the group leaves at lunch time. So maybe they were already gone...
Lol how Cohen got called out as a thief the whole trial is falling apart what are you talking about how brainwashed are you?
?????
How? He's doing better by every measurable statistic lol
Cohen is a thief and it came out in court today lol trump couldn't ask for anything better
Listening to any of the Trump's talk is like watching The Beverly Hillbillies!!
No they were smarter!!!😂😂😂
Trump 2020: Person, woman, man, camera, tv
Trump 2024: Prison, guard, cellmate, shower, soap
They his cult members will still vote for him and send him money for canteen if he goes to jail and they will visit him regularly
yep 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
👏👏👏....lol 😂 😂
Add hamburgers
At least meal times won’t be much different for him, he never eats food you need utensils for.
Michael came correct to show the actual events
I love Weissman. Class act!
Apparently Weissman loves judge Merchan. 😆 🤣
Come on jurors ! It's all in their hands now.
You don't know what a woman is.

@@MK-lh3xd nah. Your mom says thank you.
@@hereLiesThisTroper When someone's first post on a thread is simply an attempt at insult and change of subject.... then we all know that they have absolutely NO actual point to make.
@@anniejuan1817 insult or not, you still can't define what a woman is.
Costello is not a respectable lawyer.
Maybe for the MOB
I just love listening to Andrew
He's always spot on.
, he dripping in his sweat , just a wet dog , ,
My favorite was when he said that Trump was too dumb to play dumb.
, he was sopping wet with sweat . That's what weasel do , ,
Me too
Michae Cohen had the calm, cool and collective behavior. He had the evidence and didn't break down at all.
And stole from Trump. Now theres a nice twist.
@lseger62 Michael Cohen was awesome. Drumph stole from the city, state and people of New York. Deal with it.
Everything points to a guilty verdict and jail time.
Why WON'T this happen?
Lock trump up!
For what crime?
@@chrisblackasr7095 😂😂 falsifying business records to cheat on taxes. That's a crime, twit brain.
@@chrisblackasr7095 If only we had a roulette wheel with 85 stops on it and we could just give it a spin.
@@USA-freedom you mean all the made up allegations that are going away? The Alvin Bragg case will crumble because their star witness is a serial liar. The rest of them will go away as well as we are finding out how corrupt who made up the accusations against trump have their own issues they are being investigated for. Can't make this up
@@USA-freedom Cohen just got finished admitting that he stole almost 60k from trump. This case will go away just like the rest of them because they keep finding out how corrupt the DAs and the judges are.
Cohen has shown attrition and served time. He seems more trustworthy.
Until he confessed to another crime of stealing from his employer
@@yaimavol and lied, in this trial, about a phone call, don't forget that one
That’s contrition. But we knew what you meant. Autocorrect is my worst enema. Spellcheck is my greatest fiend.
@@richardbeckenbaugh1805 No, contrition holds a different meaning. Guess you're not a Catholic? Google may be your truest pal of all.
@@pctotty
No. Trump's lawyer accused him of lying, but never proved that to be the case. Cohen said it was about Stormy, the lawyer said it was about a teenager harrasing Cohen. The evidence suggests that he talked about both subjects on that call.
Andrew is the best!! Love this guy!
Bots!
Also Michael Cohen had the $130,000 check which the Drumph Defence team didn't challenge at all.
Andrew W is really opening up on TV. The way things are going, he may have his own show on MSNBC.
This guy would convict his mom for telling him the truth
COSTELLO...name so associated with Crime.
Andrew 100% correct.
Andrew, please fill in Ari Melber - Melber is losing his mind trying to discredit Michael Cohen.
Is Ari Melber auditioning to be the next Lou Dobbs?
Tons of people have. Noticed this, I really like Joe and mica and a few others, but I won't watch Ari anymore
@@Linda-io2ns It's a real shame.
A year ago he was great for explaining the law, and for having trump's inner circle on and giving them enough rope to incriminate themselves.
Now he's spreading untruths about Cohen, and seems to be supporting trump's indefensible defence.
I won't even watch Melber anymore.
Michael Cohen discredited himself.
Shame on Ari Melber for threatening your cognitive dissonance.
Cohen confessed to stealing from Trump. Theres no cred left to discredit
Mike was a church boy,altered to the point of right and wring,he owned up to his,he is doing part of democracies job ,well need to follow suit
Trump made a comment that he didn't even know weisselman. He had no clue who he was. What's going on in this world
Jeffery Epstein was his greatest pal, until he never met the guy.
He’s trumps lawyer. So respectable is not an option.
What witness is he going to call that hasn't been to jail or facing jail time?
This show will be over soon. Long time coming. I so hope this jury nails trump to the wall.
Then it goes on appeal to SCOTUS, and will be overturned on some flimsy ground.
What ev idence has been presented linking Trump to the ledger entries. Cohen did all of that without Trump's knowledge.
@@yaimavol nothing at all. Trump is as sinless as jesus.
@@MK-lh3xd that's possible ,for Supreme Court to coddle the orange sinner.
This make hope 🎉🎯⚖️🇺🇸🫶🍀👏👏👏👏🥰
I love this guy 😊
Costello looks like a gangsta.
💙
In trumps head,
All the little men doing trumps bidding should go to prison but not trump himself,
Trump defense at this point is trying to get off not actual provide an actually defense
True - you cannot defend the indefensible. Trump has no defense in any of the cases, so the delay tactics, lying about witnesses/judges/the law, and digging up dirt on prosecuters is all he does. That, and the lying, are the things Trump is actually good at. And making a fool of himself and his followers, but that comes naturally.
Put the Orange Child in Jail
Remember them taking care of his dogs when he went to jail.
Back in the days I used to sell to law offices and lawyers.
You would believe how many lawyers have bad credit and had the license revoked for DUi. Not all lawyers are respectable at all.
Have you ever heard the saying.
All lawyers are liars ?
So proud of Michael Cohen 🙂🕊️
"Exemplary Performance 😂
The only thing exemplary here is Andrew’s proclivity to gaslight MSNBC’s audience.
Love this. Photo of Michael Cohen: 🗽🌹🦋
Lock Trump up!
Only if Joe goes too!
X president trump
Trump is guilty.
What happened to the gag order? Why isn't he in jail-the judge said he was 'thinking' about imposing a sentence for rebutting news media accounts (they aren't gagged).
Lol you're brainwashed
Guilty of what?
@@ericbast5569- Guilty of exposing how intellectually lazy the political establishment has become.
@@user-nu4py2mu6o oh strange I thought he was just guilty of beating Biden by every measurable statistic lol
Andrew Weismann:☕️🗽🦋💐🫖
Trump for life in PRISON. A short one please ??😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This entire period of legal high drama will be recorded in history as an extended opera of Mobster and Gangster Prosecution, in its simplest definition and description. That's simply what all of them are: mob bosses, goons, lame judges and lawyers, shady accountants and other staff, mouthpieces spewing lies, gossip columnists defending the most guilty AND less guilty criminals, bookies and analysts making money on predictions, and the public constantly updating data and comparing opinions. Like me.
DJT is just the biggest criminal, MOBSTER, we've ever exposed in office and tried to hold accountable in a genuine court of law!
Agreed.
Its a novela by the soft hands people of this world. These lawyers run your world and you like it.
In what universe does Michael Cohen admitting to grand larceny and committing perjury (again) equate to “an exemplary performance?”🤣
Well for one, it's clear that he's telling the truth by doing so.
If he had denied doing things he'd been convicted of - or otherwise makes him look bad - he'd look like he was not credible.
Do you see how that works?
@@bobagorof - I don’t believe Cohen is telling the truth. I believe he has been caught lying on the stand (at least once during this trial). There is an expression when assessing the credibility of a witness: “Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.” If you believe that a witness has lied once during testimony, then you can disregard all of the witnesses testimony.
All it takes is 8% of the jury to notice Cohen’s lie and to value justice over politics for Trump to be cleared.
Too many of my fellow liberals do not understand how much the politicization of our justice system to attack Trump is actually enabling Trump; making him a martyr. I believe this explains why Trump is polling better with African Americans than any Republican candidate since the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Al Gore got 96% of the African American vote in 2000. Trump is currently polling at 20%. Liberal-leaning independents are either leaving the Democratic Party or disengaging from the voting process altogether. This is happening for multiple reasons - of which the politicization of the DOJ is a contributing factor.
List liar pants on fire !
Be more specific, please
Yes keep telling people what your viewers want to hear. They will forever be shocked and surprised by reality.
No, that’s Fox. You’re the one who isn’t in touch with reality. Just watch…
How in any world do people like this have the unawareness of their idiocy.
Can't wait for the spin when it's all over....
Cohen lied twice in his testimony , adding to the pile of lies!! 😂
Which lies were they?
It looks more like Cohen was extorting Trump!!!
Love how the mainstream media focuses on behavior and nit picky stuff but not that the actual facts of the case were a joke.
According to MAGAts
@@goettlingCongratulations, you have been completely indoctrinated by MSM propaganda, surprise you're a sheep! 🐑
Delusional
Hes already been caught lying on the stand so idk how thats good for the prosecution
Not really…
@@candacerushing6882- Ah yes! The old, “I’m rubber and your glue” retort. Let your intellectual honesty light the way.
@@user-nu4py2mu6o
That’s what you got from my comment? 🤣
This has already been addressed.
He lied, got caught, was punished and does not want to be punished again. He has a strong disincentive to lie on the stand, because he knows what can happen to him if he does.
It's also been several years since that incident and his outlook has changed pretty radically since he was working for the Trump Organisation - would you not agree?
This guy cracks himself up
Cohen: Once a liar, always a liar.
But the orange stain doesn't lie? You maggats really need to stop drinking the orange koolaid.🤦♀️
Yeah. And he was Trump's lawyer. For years! That says a lot about Trump.
MSNBC the propaganda network 😅😅😅😅
All just "raging TDS" ....
Think it’s funny how you all think this guy is a hero now lol
We all know he is Trump org slime. In the context of this criminal trial however, Cohen truly turned out to be a great witness for the prosecution, while the first guy the defense brought on had to have to whole courtroom cleared to be admonished for being an a$$hole.
Seriously, Cohen already served time for this very crime they are prosecuting Trump with.
You're being simplistic. We don't "all think this guy is a hero now". We're aware that someone who works on a scheme has knowledge of that scheme, and Cohen is willing to share that information.
There aren't any heroes here.
Everyone is missing the IMPORTANT QUESTIONS! WHO IS FELIX SATER? Andrew Wiseman belongs in prison!
You guys all full of it
Lol. Cohen: “I stole $120K from Trump, but you need to believe me…” Weissman is a joke “legal” analyst.
Here is Weissmann's qualifications. And you? He was an Assistant United States Attorney from 1991 to 2002, when he prosecuted high-profile organized crime cases. n 2002, President George W. Bush appointed Weissmann to be the deputy director and then director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Enron Task Force.[5] Weissman also served as the General Counsel of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 2011 to 2013
@@jimjimgl3 He was also overturned 9-0 by the SCOTUS, and was cited for misconduct in the Enron case.
@@jimjimgl3Such a lofty resume but no time to take a class in ethics, I guess.
@@MM-mo2yc A class in ethics, maybe from Robert Costello...😂
@@MM-mo2yc Sorry. Confused. You are a Trump supporter. I thought that part of being MAGA was deleting the word "ethics" from your vocabulary??
guilty of paying for your foolishness....
thats a crime !!??😳🤨😖
Yes, when you intentionally use the payoff as a tax deduction by calling it “legal fees”. You’re not very bright. How sad for you. Stay in school.
Yes, when you specifically do it to HELP YOUR CHANCE TO BE ELECTED!! The entire trial each witness verified the intent was to KEEP THE WOMEN QUIET until after the election!! It was NOT to hide it from Melanoma! That is both ELECTION INTERFERENCE, and FRAUD and FALSIFYING business records!! 😅😅
Falsifying business records to hide a payment in furtherance of influencing an election.
ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
& FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS.
The prosecutors on the very worst day add 10 x smarter than the defence lawyers are on the very best day (straight from the mouth of judge Judy)😂😂😂
Cheap souls for sale.
