#Trump #judge #hushmoney
I hate defending Cohen but every time media mentions him they should emphasize that Cohen already went to prison for the crime of following Trump's directions. That should be the lead every time his name comes up.
I agree!
I agree, everyone that has ever been involved with Donald has gone to prison... Except Donald... Go figure.. It's time that he steps up and does his bit!
I agree. But you can believe the prosecution will almost certainly begin their questioning of Cohen with exactly the facts of what he did, who he did it for and how he was punished by the legal system and has rehabilitated his reputation since.
And but for Cohen's testifying to Congress truthfully, going to prison to make amends, and of course Stormy, there would be no case. I just wish Cohen would quit calling trump vonshitzinpants, because it makes him look small and petty.
Not very bright are you?
I know many people are frustrated. I am, too. Anyone else would have been jailed long ago. But the more I think about it, the more I realize that Judge Merchan is being VERY smart. He’s creating this record for the appeals court, showing that he went to the limit and beyond for this defendant.
Trump has a live time of judges giving him sweetheart deals.
This judge let Trump make a liar out of him.
This judge is a joke.
Trump needs to experience jail, but I have to admit your point is well founded.
Judge is being very cautious- he knows the destructive power of the Trump cult followers. They could burn down the city. And they would.
I agree with you. No one is more sick of saying this than Judge Merchan. I've seen defendants that were picked up for minor offenses locked in holding pens because of the court case load. Still, Merchan wants to make 100% clear to the American public that he has given Trump every possible chance, beyond what others would be given, to comply. He wants to show that Trump cannot control himself even when required by law. He wants to get this trial over. Let the testimony flow. He is a good judge. I've seen sloppy judges. This is about more than the country club nature of the legal system. As for the interview, awesome.
We have to remember why this gag order was placed on Trump. The safty of many people.
The judge and prosecutor has a responsibility for the safty of those people.
I believe both the judge and prosecutor need to remind everyone of their responsibility.
All threats, no follow through. Two tiered justice system.
It's been a horrible past three years.
@@kelperdude Agreed. It will be so much more pleasant once the former President fades away and is no longer in the limelight.
A little less talk and a lot more action !!
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW the elites say it all the time & they would never lie to us
@@ThruAWiderLensyou say you agree but you still blame Trump. Who do you think made it this way the past 3 years. You know for a fact it wasn't Trump because nobody wanted to listen to him especially President Biden. That fact alone should tell you the reason why the countries in the state that's in. 🙄 It's not that hard to look and see and figure it out. Or are you one of those idiots that is being sarcastic because you actually can't see what's happening to your country and assume what they're telling you is correct.
Judge Marchan should have used the term, "presumptive candidate for your chosen party," instead of "possibly the next president."
Naw- he’s the next president, get used to saying it you dope
@@KingWill333you probably rooted for John Gotti too.
The judge was pathetic not jailing.
@@WardenJune Another Genius remark!, from another Biden supporter...when did he mention John Gotti!
@@ty567100 you're rooting for this mobster so I assume you rooted for John Gotti to get away with it all too.
Keep following the money...all the way to the rotten core of that criminal enterprise!
The biden crime family
You talking the biden family crime syndicate?
The Biden crime family?
Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden, and Piglosi.... Along with the rest of the DS DC swamp creatures. Yes.
Hunter?
I would NEVER vote for donald trump..EVER!!!
You type this same comment every day. (I would never, as well.)
I would vote "guilty".
I never thought I would be enthralled to hear about attorneys and "billable hours."
it's the secret service's job to protect, they figure it out, its not anyone else's problem; they do the same thing whenever he goes somewhere new
What's your point?
My understanding is that they have already made a dry run on how to put ex-45 and ss in jail for as many days as may be ordered. They have not said where, for obvious reasons.
Breaking...... All donnie's SS guys now have additional training to react to gunfire, called "duck and cover" every man for himself. GO BLUE!
Exactly! You can't convince me that the Secret Service wouldn't know how to deal with Trump going to jail. They are well paid and it's kind of their job to deal with new scenarios. Why are people pretending jailing him is an insurmountable problem?
Donald Trump should have already in jail 10 times for violating gag order 🤬
Right!...Says the M@R@N that can't pay his cell phone bill every month!
If Preet would have been first choice for Attorney General, trump would be in prison by now.
Or Doug Jones from Alabama. Who was the original choice, before Biden decided to get cute with the symbolic pick of Garland.
GAG ORDER: "Stop it, or... I'll say 'Stop it' again. And,... if that doesn't work, I'll say 'Stop it. I really mean it this time.'. If THAT doesn't work, then I'll say 'Ok, now, I really, REALLY mean it this time, so stop it.', ... if that's ok with you, Mr. Trump."
That is not what he said today.
Yeah this whole situation has an overwhelmed-parent feel to it. "I'll count to three, one, two, two-and-a-half..."
Yes, that is what is really happening in court. Thank you for your insight.
EXACTLY....it's embarrassing. Trumps making this judge look like a punk.
Only if it is deemed appropriate and necessary at the time. Poor Marchant. He reminds me of those movies where the damsel in distress gets the upper hand on the bad guy. The woman stands 10 feet away from the man, gun in hand but shaking like a leaf in the windstorm, harder and harder as the bad guy approaches closer and closer - until the gun is easily wrenched away...
If the judge cannot impose at least 5 days, a hour is a waist of time considering the 4 year old mentality of trump.
Waste of time
Trump made a lot of money for a 4 year old😅😂
@@DANTHETUBEMANand trump has lost more money than a 4 year old. How do you bankrupt a casino? trump knows how.
@@davebrown9725 Trump is up BILLIONS, looks like he is good at business. 🤠
@@DANTHETUBEMAN Yeah, let's wait until the New Accounting firm looks at the books for Tantrum Social. The firm trump picked has been Banned from ever operating again due to massive fraud for $$$. The djt shares are as worthless as trump himself ($4M profit with $52M Losses), another fraud from trump.
How is it up to the judge to worry about where trump may go to jail on contemp charge. Let the secret service worry.
Any of the rest of us would have already been jailed for contempt.
“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”
Joseph Heller, Catch-22
Lawyers don't pay their clients for services. It's the other way around. Plus, why pay someone more than 300% more than you owe them?!
Especially Trump because he is notoriously cheap.
Always appreciate Preet's take.
Ditto. Haven't seen him in an age.
Congress needs to pass a law revoking secret service protection for convicts.
I think about this subject often. Trump talks a big game, but would he be advocating violence if he was at risk from NO secret service protection?
Great guest legal expert! Clear, concise and obviously knowledgable! 😊
Jail the disgrace.

Trump should send him to ADX Florence in Colorado with no secret service. After the insurrection, he doesn't deserve secret service or any protection. He gave up that right when he and his base tried to over turn the election
Awe, rich and famous justice!

BIDEN FOR JAIL 2024
Jen was such a great hire for MSNBC. She’s done a great job and gets better all the time.
To learn who rules over you, simply find out what ideals you are not allowed to divest from.
What is stunning that the incarceration option has taken so long .
I know, Benedict Biden should be in prison for treason
It's still just blah blah blah.
Watch what they do, not what they say.
Agreed. These hosts, commentators and distinguished lawyers are just making money off of word salad. The media industry has them well trained and groomed splendidly. But Preet just gave a basic Cliff Notes book report. Nothing substantive or new.
joe is losing support all around.
Exactly, actions speak louder than words.
@@kelperdude An ABC poll has him ahead. The polls are just a rollercoaster of opinion. The only poll that matters is the election.
That about sums up our current judicial system.
Excellent commentary and video production. He knows his stuff. 🌿🇺🇲🌿
The profession of a defendant whether ex-president or joe blogs should not interfere with the rule of law and justice should be equally applied

A week would be my minimum if I was Judge.
Everyone is saying we need to fight for the rule of law. Why? The judges and prosecutors can't be bothered to lift a finger.
Never give up !!!
Never surrender !!!
Biden / Harris 2024
Oh, how right you are.
An hour in jail! You got to be kidding. Whats that gonna accomplish? Nothing. If he gets jailey it needs to be a minimum of 2 weeks
I suspect the "hour" sentences are just to force Trump to cool his heels if he gets really out of hand during a court session. Otherwise, you are correct, it does nothing.
For an hour or overnight is a joke. He needs to be jailed for a minimum of 2 weeks. That will wake him up.
He doesn’t want to spend a second in jail. So I say, LOCK HIM UP, LOCK HIM UP!
I'm not holding my breath. I doubt anything significant with come of this, the same as all the times before. Modern Teflon Don.
You don’t put him in jail for an hour. You put him in jail for several nights then a week for each violation of the gag order. That will cause him to reconsider his actions.
And if he gets rowdy in the cell just toss him a burger and diaper change by the secret service guards.
Jen is fabulous! Great job! Fine interview. Thanks!❤🎉🌹
I’m not a fan of any politician, but I do want to know if they’re going to do Biden next ?
What good is a threat that’s been made 30 times before?
That's what wrong with the last two generations.
The only thing stunning is that he's not jailed already.

Many thanks to Jen and Preet! 🗽
Lock up Donald Trump for exposing his lies and corruption!
Lock joe Biden up
Biden aint any better.... you really want a man who cant even put a sentence together or even remember where he is to run America?
@@BIG-WhoShotYaNah, disingenuous argument. He isn't facing the charges the orange crook and grifter is facing.
@@thomasrivers7585What for Einstein?
Trump said that the money was not hush money and that he was not
really all that interested about the outcome of the election. That from
an evil excuse for a human, who has caused more consternation, deaths
and upheavals because of his 2020 loss, than anyone could have envisaged.
People who cannot see through his lies and evil character, are not capable
of straight thinking. The members of the MAGA GOP who shamelessly
support him, should be publicly, nationwide disgraced. The investigation
into the Bidens, with ever recurring lies and misinformation, has cost
millions of tax payers dollars. There has never been such a cabal of evil
members of government, as those supporting the orange narcissist.
Stunning that hes not in jail!
He should’ve been in prison long before running for pres but they let a child loose
Stunning you think that will hurt him. Stunning you have internet in your third world country.

Yeah, Preet just gave cover to Trump and his legal defense team. I caught that too.
He's done and he knows it!
Every dog has it's day!
Throughout history, every person of the same calibre as Trump, has finally
become a cropper. Most US citizens cannot wait for it to happen to DJT.
LOL! Thanks this made me laugh.
I would not be surprised if Trump had a health issue to delay the trial.
Don't give him ideas
@@sandraspengler4740 I came here to literally say the exact same thing!
@@moddie6783 Great minds think alike.
A stroke that would take away his ability to speak.
Health issues? Did Hillary get called in to testify or something?
What would a similar white collar criminal get for contempt if he was not Trump? A month easy for all these violations plus the stupid fines.
Alvin Bragg only won 51 percent of his cases meaning he falsely incriminated many. He should be in Jail for False Incrimination.
well the New York laws says up to 30 days for each violation witch means a total of 10 months and it would have been executed the second time of a gag order violation for a regular citizen that is, but for a wealthy powerful person like Donald Trump ... NOTHING as usual he should have been locked up the second time he violated that gag order
He's not going to go to jail for an hour, if he goes. Don't be silly. It takes an hour just to go through the booking process. He'd be there at least overnight. This "he wants to go" narrative is silly as well. Good to hear Preet knock it down. I've been to jail. It's not pleasant. He doesn't want to go.
Send him to jail for the maximum... what, ten days? 30 days? Do it.
Bragg had some A plus game. I'm impressed.
That judge doesn't have the balls to put Trump in jail
What stupid conversations they really are having. I thought it was bad in mexico, where you can run over a person crossing the street and just take off. Here you can say what ever to a judge, or federal officer, and its meaningless. You just stand up and walk away.
A president has never been sent to jail so if everyone has an issue with that just lock him in a nice hotel room that delivers ketchup and doesn’t have WIFI
Good one.... and he gets to clean up anything he breaks on his own.
He is not A president he is a Criminal who once was president and are running for office again but he should be treated like any other person committing the same crime
equal justice under the law no special treatments
the misdemeanor of the "hush money" payments is not the real crime here
its the cover up and election interference that followed that is the real crime and violates election laws This scandal could have had a huge impact on the 2016 election
it will all be exposed in the upcoming weeks
Trump is just a man. If he breaks the law then he should go to jail, just like any other man.
Thanks Jen! Good stuff!
Secret service should be removed if a former president is a convict. There are other ways protect him, like they do most prisoners. Remove him from the genpop. Why does secret service agents have to do time when they didn't commit any crimes...
It’s not like the Secret Service would be locked up. They’d get to go home at the end of their shift. They’d probably get their own office in the prison/jail where they could remotely monitor him and escort him when necessary.
Solitary confinement would work too. Very safe.
As a germophobe... I promise you that trump does NOT want to sit on a prison toilet.
He has his diapers
Does his diaper changer have to go to jail with him?
No one WANTS to sit on those toilets....
His would be the foulest!!!
And we believe he is a germaphobe because he told us he was? When has he ever told the truth about anything?
He put that out there when the "pee pee" tapes were about to come out. Added bouns, he can compare himself to Howard Hughes, who was a germaphobe.
Every word he speaks is a lie. Does a germaphobe go even a day with greasy hair? Or defecate in his diaper and wait for someone to clean him up? Probably not.
2 Tier System
There's A LOT more Tiers than that.....
Yup. Obama should have been arrested years ago.
We need to all come out and VOTE.
Get your family and friends to VOTE.
VOTE President Biden 2024.
VOTE BLUE 💙 🗳 ☑️
If I was the judge I would have the hearing for the next violation on a Tuesday, then since court doesnt gappen on Wed, bring him back Thursday morning for court and warn him again
If trump spends 30 days in Rikers I imagine he'll pay attention to the courts rulings and warnings from then on.
30 days would be the perfect amount of time.
PAB would be a changed man.
Any short stint will only serve his fundraising grift.
I think they would put him in a holding cell with a computer.
They wouldn't send him to Rikers. They would probably send him to a borough jail like Manhattan House of Detention or Brooklyn House because they're a bit safer: the population is less prone to violence.
@final1fantasy919
Wisselburg and Cohan went to Riker's.
Trump will go there too.
@@petert3355 Both of them were not Presidents.
Silence Trump for 10 days. That is the ultimate jail time. No posts. No reposts. No emails, no speeches or press conferences where he mentions the trial. Not even a mention of the gag order.
Silence tRUMP for eternity !
ELECTION INTERFERENCE
Every bit of that is illegal, you criminal.
You must like joey the dictator Obyedone
Communist
Why not double the fines for each and every contempt charge? Seems to be the only way a "billionaire" would start caring about fines. The rest of us would know what jail felt like on the second contempt charge..
That wasn't a "quibble" so much as a clarification.
I want to see photos of his unhelmeted darth vader head from jail.
Next time Trump defies the gag order the judge will speak to him very severely.
Might even wag his finger at him or say something passive-aggressive.
The justice system is feckless.
Totally!
All bark, no bite from the judge.
Eyes roll 🙄
Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver.
Sometimes you have to break the sound barrier, next time it will be easier!
Thank you I can't wait till we no longer see his face on TV or in the papers
Hes a kid with a knife youre letting a child go on with this nonsense till someday gets hurt AGAIN

...and in the general population...
Jen made one mistake. She thought that maybe for once Donald spoke the truth when he said he wanted to go to jail. Maybe he will also bring his tax returns, his infrastructure plan and his amazing healthcare.

The judge should've locked him up after January 6th!!!!!!!!
2 - 3 days minimum.

1 hour is a waste. He needs to get at least 1 day.

You know, when you vote for a guy who is facing 91 criminal charges, it brings with it a certain amount of shame, embarrassment, and guilt, along with the expected loss of innocence and self-esteem. Sad, really. 🤔
It really should but all those moral feelings are completely alien
to the conservitards which is why they feel none of those things.
It is a very bold move & look at Tim Scott, for example, ready to sell his soul to the devil...Lindsey Graham, boll barr...too long a list. But where is there self respect & sense of duty? It's stunning to me.
Yeah... They said the south was going to rise again. They pushing hard.
