I wish Barbara McQuade was on the Prosecutors Team. She is so bright.
@@deesus1085 🤡
Barb put everything in perspective in less than one minute. That’s why she gets major cred.
Cohen's still not on trial.
His credibility is.
@@davidrhinehart7764 Only if the defense has a credible alternate theory of the case which explains all that mountain of corroboration, which they do not. What, Michael Cohen fooled Trump into paying off Stormy Daniels and swindled him into grossing it up? Surely you jest ;)
@@davidrhinehart7764Same as trump's
perjury would revoke his probation and put him back in jail
@@billewilde1 Which is what the prosecution is going to bring up during redirect.
So the defense is essentially arguing that Cohen, in his heart of hearts, knows that Trump is innocent, but has somehow managed to hornswoggle all these other people, backed by all this evidence, that Trump is actually guilty. That, to me, is absurd. Cohen's a weasel, but he's not a supervillain.
No. They are saying he a liar and has a financial and invested interested in seeing Trump arrested. I think Cohen is a liar and the recent updates makes me think he probably lied to the prosecution. This trial a sham.
Yeh, you're right, not a saint but not a 'super-sinner' either: - I've come to view him as a "born again" version of the former Cohen who was willing to do all of Trump's dirty work for 'Da Boss'.
Trump is the supervillian!!
@@gustavodeugarte9460 True 👍✔ -- they want to put the focus on Cohen. The prosecution's redirect will likely put the focus back on the defendant Trump, where it belongs: And, "all the King's horses and all the King's men, [we hope] cannot put Humpty Dumpty DJT back together again." 🙏 The loyal MAGA Cult will support this man inside the gates and on into the depths of h*ll; let's hope undecided voters in swing states, will not! 🤔
'All this evidence"
You have zero evidence Trump ordered this😂😂😂
Thank you Barbara Wade, your perspective on how the Defense cross-examination went is encouraging! ☺
“Real men take the stand!” - Stormy Daniels
"Real men wear diapers!" - Donald Trump
Real men don’t wear diaper! They take the stand!
Real men don't have mushrooms. 🤣🤣🤣
@@SweetJustice11😂😂😂
Corrupt cowards like Cohen take the stand and lie.
So, tRump's defense attorney ended up YELLING at Michael Cohen? Because he could not remember verbatim a phone conversation from almost 9 yrs ago? Not good visual/audio for the defense.......Cohen stayed cool, attorney Blanche blew his cool.
Nice narrative, but unfortunately none of us saw it, and cannot know the jury's reaction. This could be terrible for the prosecution. We just don't know, but it likely wasn't good.
yeah sure he covered two topics … a 14 yr old troll crank call and squeezed in a criminal conspiracy in a 1 min phone convo… don’t be a tool.
You know Blanche lost the case because he couldn't get to Cohen. This is a great day for the Prosecutors.
@@Patrick-rn2wu Some people can walk and chew gum at the same time. But there were 14 other calls with Trump.
Hopefully the Jury TOOK NOTE OF THAT!
Cohen was just context for the papertrail. Even if you impeach him how are you going to explain the checks and everything else?
How many checks does this man sign everyday they sit it in front of him. He signs them.
@@DuraDigi have him go on the stand then to say that.
@@Dont.Call.Me.Tall. How many cheques does a president sign in any given week.?
@@marycull3607 how many checks have specific instructions on how to commit fraud with a predisents signature?
Answer: two and rhey have been shown to this court.
@@DuraDigi So you're actually trying to allege that a man who famously deposited a check for seven cents doesn't care enough about his money to blindly sign 11 checks for a payoff _and_ a gross-up. Sure, Jan ;)
Andrea Mitchell is too old to do this any longer. She doesn't state her case clearly either.
I have been thinking this for some time... she is out of context...stuggles to get her thoughts out...I guess she is the Trump/biden of MSBC
Some days she’s sharp, others not so much. Sad.
I've been saying this for over a year 🎉
Calm down Julie Wagner.
Well, she's been doing this for forty decades.
Andrea Mitchell please retire 🙏
Oh I second this idea. Andrea Mitchell, please retire. Enjoy the retirement you deserve.
She's about 15 years too late.
@@FathomlessJoy more like 150 😂
I will wait and see how the jury goes. I don't have much faith in juries or people anymore.
Especially the one who said he got his news from Fox.
We can't depend on the courts. Vote against Trump and his MAGAs in November.
I already know the trial will end in hung jury. All the jurists had to fill out questioaires and one of them asked : What news sources do you get your news from and one jurist wrote : X and truth social. He should have been Dismissed immediately. This is what happens when things are rushed.
@@scottwhallin2461There are also two lawyers on the jury and all of them have secondary and post-secondary educations. I'm not worried. Manafort had a Trumper on his jury and she voted to convict.
I guess this trial isn’t going the way all y’all predicted in the beginning. The star witness Cohen is back to being a lying sleezy lawyer that can’t be trusted bc his bombshell evidence destroyed the prosecution case. Y’all’s hatred for Trump has made rational thinking impossible for you never Trumpers. I have a strong feeling that the majority of you Never Trumpers can’t even explain your hatred bc y’all are just doing what your told. Kinda like the college protesters following the crowd.
" If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral, then it is not a political party; *it is merely a conspiracy to seize power* " ----- Dwight D. Eisenhower
The theater we saw in court today, it was expected. Impossible for Cohen to remember everything. The fact remains...
Donald Tell Your Truth ! Get on the stand.
I dare you. I Double Dare You
Be a Man
not a Coward. or a Child
He's going to win there's no need to take the stand.
@@DuraDigi Good luck with your FBI J6 interview.
@@DuraDigi
He going to lose. You Trump supporters better get your tears ready. FDT!
He can’t because of his bone spurs….
He won't do it
Andrea, we knew you were old, but "40 decades". Retire! It's getting so much worse
Just stop
Just need to refocus the jury on the story line to keep all the criminal dots connected that lead straight to Trump.
Yes
Wishful thinking. The calvary is not coming.
Sounds like you trying to cope with another day of Cohen proving in court he is a criminal perjurer.
Will Trump have to wear an ankle monitor at the debates?
Hopefully for the rest of his life once all the trials eventually occur!
I think you should begin preparing for the worst. Think 180 degrees.
He has to wait for more trailer park donations so he can fix his plane.
Will Biden have to take some of Hunter Biden's cocaine to stay awake during the debate😂😂
Not just an ankle bracelet but an orange jumpsuit as well.
The jury will examined all the evidence, not theatrics. Base on facts not fiction, they will make their decision. Cohen's testimony shouldn't be dismissed because of his past.
He already went to prison for tRump. He has redeemed himself.
Need rid of Ari Melber. He is lying about Macael Cohen
He needs to apologize.
Aww what's the lie😂😂😂
Or is it just your feelings are hurt. He's trying to prepare you for Trump being not guilty
The old girl needs to retire, she struggles to string a sentence together
SHE'S HOT
Not calling Weiselberg to the stand or explaining his absence will lead to a hung jury or acquittal. Weiselberg was responsible for financial records and without him linking Trump to knowing or directing him there is reasonable doubt.
The defenses closing argument will be that trump is innocent of anything and everything because other people are bad too. Sounds solid
Please answer, does any one want to give $130,000 away and doesn't want to get any money back.
He got it back
Andrea, go get a coffee or take a walk in the park. You have no business being at this table. Come on MSNBC; pull her from this coverage.
It's probably good that they have a long weekend to prepare for re-direct. The issue of the phone call will be critical to reframe and let Cohen describe how that call could have reasonably been multi-purpose, as well as the emphasize the other instances where Cohen testified to having spoken directly with Trump about the scheme and his blessing/directing it. But they'll need the clarification of those matters to be crisp and credible.
@Barbara, your closing statement makes sense. I believe prosecutors had done a fabulous job. Dont analyse too much on this one phone call, seriously you people with megaphone lives DRAMA! The drama you should lay here is to CHALLENGE him to testify to clear his claims. Use your megaphone properly!
It's not a trial about Michael Cohen's FEELINGS, Blanche.
400 years? Andrea has been working in media 400 years? She said, "not in my 40 decades" 😮
I like this news channel but that newsroom right now is kind of a cluster. This news team really need to get there act together, starting with Andrea Mitchell. Get some coffee or something girl.
WHY is Katy Tur on at all?
130K is small change to a Billionaire wanting to be your president, Right?
because they are passing us the statements that Costello gave yesterday in Congress
The kind of person they chose as star witness
Who is talking too much?
"In my 40 decades of reporting." That was supposed to be a humorous, self-deprecating crack at her age a la Biden, but it came off as a sad confession. Poor Andrea :(
At least hire some actors to do the portrayal of any conversation in the courtroom.
Can’t wait for Michael pin-drop moment on re-direct….
Hi all from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 they should called Alan that guy that in prison that will settle it
Don Dump is my hero!!
Hahaha. Listen you legal genius. If Cohen was truthful, he would have responded right away on the following line.
I first mentioned to Schiller about this stalker.Blah Blah. Then I asked him to pass on to the President. Schiller said what for? So he did.
But no. You got an evasive response. Any juror would see through that. You can re-direct and re-re-direct an re-re-redirect. Cohen is nailed. Bragg is nailed.
Its the beginning of the end
GOOD lord Andrea Mitchel once again commenting on something in her opinion without any facts
Two dispicables……
At least we are not fake news 😂
I loved Barbara when she played the landlady in kingpin😂😂
It's a little known fact that kingpin won best picture two years in a row at the Oscars.
Andrea Mitchell should run for prez in 28 RIGHT !!!
andrea mitchell is passed her best sell date
Great gaslighting
"The government has an opportunity to rehabilitate Michael Cohen... (the government already did that at the beginning of this trial. How many times can Michael Cohen be rehabilitated?)
Trump needs the same..."Rehabilitation" urgently!
@@gustavodeugarte9460 You just wake up? All the cases against Trump have failed. The government is going to be rehabilitated, not Donald Trump.

REAL AMERICAN HEROES!
INTEGRITY!
Boycott Comcast they own this 💩
A panel of clowns. Thankfully Barbara saved the day
I think that people fundamentally misunderstand the job of Ari on this program. It's not to parrot talking points for the left. It's to point out that maybe, just maybe, there is another side to this case. Cohen is not a perfect witness, and it is not the job of the defense to prove anything. During OJ's first trial I remember people saying he was going away for life. Then came "If the facts don't fit you MUST acquit!" and then surprise! He was found not guilty. Ari is pointing out that even though Trump maybe guilty as sin it is possible that the jury may find that the prosecution didn't prove Trump was guilty of that sin.
The media world be bankrupt without trump
Posting Attempt number 4. Nothing in my post violates guidelines
I think the algorithm used to delete and censor post for this channel are facts and truth as their flagged words. It’s definitely not for violating community guidelines. I think the censorship is to protect subscribers from being exposed to differing opinions. Differing mean facts that will only confuse people that don’t think. I seek out opinions that I don’t agree with bc only exposing yourself to options that support your ideas will keep you ignorant. If nobody in your circle is challenging you and agrees with everything you believe somebody is lying.
Trump is on trial for allegedly falsifying business records to hide the reimbursement of a hush money payment that Cohen, his then-attorney, made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in order to boost Trump's electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election.
FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IS ILLEGAL, and therefore, a CRIME.
@@HUNDREDACREWOOD. so is this the crime they are trying to convict him of? I mean it seems like if proven to be a crime it should maybe warrant a fine. Why the grand jury on a misdemeanor charge that happened so long ago. So long that the statued of limitations has long passed. If you can’t see this for what it is you’re not being honest with yourself
Trump, the life of a John.😂
and katie the helped
America gone crazy😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
PRISON SOON
Let’s get a fresh voice 😂
Let’s hear a different opinion because this one sucks
Barking up the 12 year Trump tree?
So how exactly should have Trumps Accountant labeled the accounting notations in the private records so it didn't become 34 Felonies that could mean 134 YEARS in jail for a records keeping fraud crime? Who was defrauded a requirement for the crime? Both the State and Federal Taxes were filed properly(both were audited)??? I am confused? Any NY Accountants chime in?
The problem was putting the reimbursements through the books of the Trump organization. That was a campaign finance violation, so they did their best to cover it up. When someone does something to help your campaign and you pay for it, that makes it a donation in kind. The answer to your question is that it should never have gone through the books.
@@EmmaSmith-nn1ui Except the original discussions for a NDA started in 2011 when it was first reported a full 5 years before he even declared he was running for President funny how they keep forgetting to mention that? Not to mention both the FEC and the Federal Government say it is NOT a campaign donation and it would be illegal IF he had payed it with campaign funds? BTW the first time it would even had to be reported to the FEC(on the books) would have been in 2017 AFTER the election? Trump Org is a Private company how should he have paid his bills if not with his own money? I am still confused?
first!!!
Is it hard doing this and Trump is still beating Biden?
Obviously, we can’t believe the polls. The joke is on DJT!
I feel Micheal Cohen and the prosecution to be able to make something new up.
A disgusting menagerie of Brandon campaign Network hacks, can you imagine the stench
Cohn look bad
Not really, he wasn't the one who wigged out and started shouting in the courtroom today. He had Blanche so frustrated, but that's a sign that the defense is completely weak and Blanche couldn't handle it any longer. A defense attorney melting down in front of the full-on jury is BAD.
Cohn looked bad no credibility
Can’t wait to hear the crying from the sheep when there is no guilty verdict!😂😂😂😂
Every comment you type here makes ad revenue for MSNBC. Not the sharpest flagpole at the failed coup, are you? 🤣🤪😘
Says the cultist.
So says the MAGA cultist....
Do you mean the way the maggots cried when E. Jean Carroll whipped Trump's butt for $91 million?
The calvary is not coming to save you from Trump
The Lord rebuke msnbc in Jesus name Amen 🙏
Satan, get behind me Maga! Maga means Witch! You are the evil!
Trump is Satan's wheel man.
The Lord put Biden in the White House and Trump in four criminal trials. NEVER QUESTION HIS DIVINE AND JUST WILL.
Cohen cracked like a Stacey Abrams toilet seat
fake news
Guess what?,we have your IP address.
Am I the only one that thinks the defense should just reenact the 1:39 phone call IRT? It’s common to multitask several issues at one time on one call. Play it out in full in court to demonstrate actually how much time 1:39 is and that yes… you could speak to 2 different people. 😒🕰️
