    One of the things that amazes me about Trump is how many lawyers were willing to be disbarred to support him. His career has been a disbarment magnet. I lost count. Its shocking because many of these lawyers had very prestigious academic and professional careers. What were they thinking?

    • @josephfast5887
      @josephfast5887 Před měsícem +112

      Actually it’s quite the opposite, can count the lawyers that worked for him on your fingers, maybe add a few toes. But compare that to the 10,000+ qualified lawyers that refuse to represent him. He has had a couple reputable attorneys that didn’t stick around, the rest of the attorneys that’s ever represented him were bums.

    Hey Bruce, just wanted to say thanks for the channel, it has helped me realize some of the ways I have been threatening what I’ve built up in my life. It’s been 226 days since I’ve had any alcohol after recognizing my problems with it, and your videos reacting to bodycams were a big part of that decision! I did not want to be on one of those videos and embarrass myself and my family. You and Michael are doing good work.

    I participated in an arduous jury selection for a civil trial a year or so ago. They called more than 200 prospective jurors for the first round and the extremely-detailed 19-page questionnaire dropped that number to 50, at which point they called for another pool of prospective jurors to be brought in. (The trial was expected to last as long as 90 days, and the industry was deeply embedded in the area.) Then it was days of sitting in the courtroom listening to individuals be questioned, where you are required to pay attention and can’t do anything but sit and wait to be called. It looked like I was going to be the last juror, but thankfully one of my answers on the questionnaire got me dismissed. I guess neither side liked my opinion that their industry needed to be strictly regulated to protect the environment. 🤣. My heartfelt condolences to everyone who has to endure this process for the latest Trump trial. 😳

I have learned through content like this that if I were in a situation where I was being questioned about any felony, completely innocent, only remotely related, or potentially guilty that I am taking a vow of silence until I get counsel. I wouldn't even know how a statement could be used against me until it's too late. Knowing is a job for Bruce Rivers because he's a criminal lawyer. Always get a lawyer.

    Did you mean, it's just Trump self-snitching like he always does? Because that's one of the most frustrating things about all his cases - he's constantly and publicly admitting to crimes, but it's always someone else getting punished for it, and not him.

      Yeah, if Trump had used his own cash, NONE of this would be happening. But Trump’s people didn’t want him to use his own funds because if people found out about him using his own money for something mysterious, they’d of dug deeper and discovered the affair. Which YES, it would have looked bad for him, but it would not have been criminal, and I don’t think it would have done any serious damage to his campaign, in my opinion. He could have made the exact same argument in the press that he’s making in court, ‘didn’t want Melania to find out’. And there would have been nothing criminal about it. But because he used campaign funds (via Cohen and whoever else), and then lied about those funds, that’s why he’s in court.

    The dawn of American democracy didn’t come in 1776, with the Declaration of Independence. It didn’t come in 1788, when the Constitution was ratified by the states, or in 1789, when George Washington took office.
    The symbolic birth of our system of government didn’t come until its noble ideals were actually put to the test.
    On September 19, 215 years ago, Washington published his farewell address, marking one of the first peaceful transfers of power in American history and cementing the country’s status as a stable, democratic state.
    This moment was crucial for creating the in-and-out system of government that we have.
    And this is unique. In that time and era, politicians would gain power, or kings would stay in office until they die.
    At that stage in American history, before precedents such as the two-term limit were even set, many were uncertain about what would happen after a galvanizing figure like Washington resigned office.
    But at this critical juncture, the leadership of Washington and others proved more than adequate to preserve the democracy.
    “Stepping down from power is unique..”
    “It’s a powerful statement about Washington and American democracy..”
    Donald Trump is just another test for us...
    (This article was written in 2011 by the Smithsonian Institute..)
    Written before Trump was in office.. This seems very fitting now in 2024..
    Cheers humans!!

      @@lillibitjohnson7293 No. They all received expensive educations at private schools. Part of the compensation package for Grandpa. Tax Fraud, for the cooked books. Grandpa went to jail for cooking the books, lying about it. Their Education tuition was tax fraud. Grandpa went to rikers because the tuition payments were tax fraud and lying about tax fraud is called perjury. But they got an education. Hope they use it for something good.

      Michael Cohen is no hero. For years he was Trumps loyal agent and relentlessly bullied and threatened people as he served Trump.
      Now that it’s all crashing down he made a deal to snitch on his former boss but only to save his own skin. He had no qualms taking advantage of people when the going was good.
