- Ty Cobb, former Special Counsel to President Trump & former Federal Prosecutor, shares his insight on why the public has to wait a week before the jury will be able to deliberate on former President Donald Trump's hush money trial. Cobb states that he expects the jury to convict Trump, and talks about why he thinks the former President did not testify in his own defense. Ty Cobb speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on Bloomberg's 'Balance of Power."

This is bullshit having no cameras in the courtroom.
Got that right. Legislation is overdue.
And if Trump gets off on this trial, it will be the second case including the one with the documents dismissed by Judge Cannon.
Only because it's Trump?
Is it BS for the others that have abided by the same rules since the advent of court rooms?
@@Jjonathanhartit wasn't dismissed it was delayed get your facts straight.
Well if they don't get Judge Cannon off the case, she probably will find Trump not guilty of stealing Government documents. She's routing for him. She should be disbarred. Many people are saying that.
Yeah ! Send Trump to jail !! Uhh what was the crime again ?
Threat to democracy? "Democracy" mean 'our' rule over you.
Falsifying business records to gain unfair advantage in a general election.
Counsellor, if the trial judge is doing an excellent job managing the trial, why would there be issues about campaign finance to be resolved on appeal? Shouldn’t the judge have jurisdiction or allow expert witness to testify about how to interpret and apply election campaign finance law?
The felony is falsifying business records to cover up another crime. The first crime leaves no doubt...or need for interpretation. While running for public office it is illegal for a candidate to pay money in a catch and kill scheme to a media outlet or pay money to an individual to keep them quiet. That's a clear violation of campaign finance law.
That is the defenses job to put up any experts don't blame the judge !!!
If the judge was against Trump he would have allowed in the agreement with Weiselberg that explains why the prosecutors did not call him and makes Trump look terrible.
trump did it all on his own. It's been a continuous string of bad decisions on his part.
And he would have allowed stormy Daniels to level salacious sexual stories that had nothing to do with tax filings.
His daughter literally makes money off of Trump going down, she is deep into DNC funding. Plus the judge even went off on a witness who was saying Trump wasn't even aware of any of this. Did Trump bang a pornstar??? Probably though her story has changed a ton. Is that illegal??? Nope, it's immoral and my god how many celebs pay people to bang??? Why you think Epstein client list has all but vanished.
As if Trump needs help with making himself look horrible...
@@gbereterbide6440 Well, the media's had a heavy hand with that. They could make Trump look like a saint depending how they spin a story.
Funny as hell... the 1st guy starts by stating it's kind of tough to find him guilty of the "Felony" version of the book keeping charge because it requires some other crime to go with it. An NDA contract is not illegal and I'm wondering if they actually tied him to that...not that it should matter. I guess that leaves some kind Ellection crime.... like doing the NDA because of the ellection... didn't search about the election during the trial.
Either way I'm thinking should Trumps lawyers point out in their Closing... that Trump is not, has not, and doesn't look to be charged with anything other than the charges in this train, which require a higher level offense the make the book keeping charges even chargeable.
3rd world country....

Cobb also says that things get sticky in the Appeal process, as proving Intent is complicated.
Cobb was fired by Trump. He has zero credibility!!
I bet your a BA
The prosecutors did address the Cohen theft of the $50,000 when they had him initially on the stand. I don’t know why some people either aren’t aware of this or have forgotten. Maybe because they addressed it in a softer approach, but they did address it.
It's always good to admit grand larceny against the person you blame for all your own mistakes.
Man! David Letterman really let himself go.
Oh theyve all been told what to do.
did this guy explain what the crime is definitively and where the evidence matches up to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt? I didn't hear him say anything except I expect them to convict in the show trial, and overturn on appeal when the real law in taken into account.
What a clown act! This whole T rump thing is all for money and entertainment 😢
Cobb- I was a department store Santa.
Having signed up as Trump's own lawyer is far more embarrassing. The regret over that decision you can measure in his voice on the Cohen Scale.

I just don’t see how they could not convict.
Probably bc there is NO CRIME PROVEN.
@@raevj Yeah but other than that and the fact there is no evidence of wrongdoing and that the witnesses had absolutely no credibility and were simply shakedown maggots and that we still don't know what the felony was supposed to be, other than that, well, he's trump, so guilty

@@deborahboggs6040 all experienced litigators say there is no crime in this sham NY case.
Conviction means nothing if there are no consequences
disagree, conviction can have a profound political effect not in Trump's favor. I personally am for anything that helps to keep Trump out of the Oval Office.
This guy had so much double talk. Biased, not biased. It can’t be both ways.
His views on Costello and Judge Merchan's rulings differ from Alan Dershowitz"s

@@PauletteWinters That " wannabe Santa Claus" was once trump's own lawyer.
@@Jose-gj8hv So is he like poor Mister Cohen.
They never presented the underlying crime and they never presented any evidence to support the mystery underlying crime. An honest jury would find not guilty
Yeah LOL they never said what the crime was because this isnt a real court of law because a real court of law wouldnt be functioning like this
An honest jury. TDS suffers would say throw away the key, just because.

Lawfare: The use of legal systems to damage or delegitimize a political opponent.
🤔
Not in this case. Don is a actually a con.
Lol easy to do with a criminal
Say what you will but it was really decent of Costello to corroborate Cohen's testimony with email evidence. That's going to leave a mark. On the jury.
Courts have reviews and checks. You cannot create 34 counts and not have it set off all kinds of alarms. There is probable cause and that takes proving to get it into a courtroom. Conviction is a higher level, and we shall soon see if that happens.
@@masterchinese28 Yes, that is why this will be overturned on appeal. The supposed "crime" is past the statute of limitations AND bootstrapped to a Federal crime, which is silly. Who was the victim?
Even democrat lawyers admit this won't hold up on appeal. But it's about influencing the upcoming election...not about winning on appeal...which is the very definition of Lawfare.
I'm not a Trump supporter...nor a republican...but this is clearly a mistake. Once you start going after former presidents and political opponents with the justice system you become a banana republic. This will haunt democrats long-term. Lawfare will become the norm...to the detriment of the entire country.
Santa?!
Costello is a brash New Yorker whos stand his ground. I can see why he acted the way he acted. All of the other witnesses in the case, were rather weak in standing their ground although Stormy Daniels was quite testy at times.
I remember in the COlorado Ballot Ban case, all of the witnesses in the case disply rather weak demeanor except for Kash Patel who held his ground quite strongly in during examination. A trial is like a battle. I would expect witnesses to like Patel and Costello to be aggressive and brash under examination. other witnesses are rather meak under cross examination. I disappointed at Hope Hicks. She was loyal supporter of Trump but was quite meak and weak on examination to point that even cried at one point.
@@jamesyoungblood6231 In the days following J6, in text messages with a friend, Hope Hicks called herself a "domestic terrorist"... just a little bit incriminating.
Stormy has looks. Ha!
he testimony was a 180 from past interviews.
👎
Cohen did not prove the case for the district attorney.
Cohen is in a pitiful state.
@@ThePiratemachineyour referring to trump who said he'd testify than woosed out?
The holiday.
It maters not, the appeal is ready and this will be overturned in an instant.
"Instant," huh? Same minute? Hour? day? year? eternity? That your expert opinion? How many NY appeals of criminal convictions have you handled?
Appealed? For sure. Turned over "in an instant"? Nope.
This isn't sports, they don't review the tape and overrule. Try dealing with reality.
@@DS_P8 let me get this straight - you are telling a Trumpster to try dealing with reality ? Do you honestly believe that has any chance of working ?
There is a reason for that, this trial is bullshit
It didnt work well for him either he was a disaster on the stand costello💙
oh really !!why dont you get the facts that judge would not allow robert costelo answer the questions ,this case is corrupt and headed to the appellate court ,but of course you hate trump and you want to rig the election
Mister Cohen is tragic IMO.
It’s all BS
"We the jury find the defendant incredibly guilty."
Of what crime?
We the commentors of this video find you incredibly obtuse.
This is a bigger circus than the Rittenhouse trial. A convicted purgeror and a porn star who is on tape telling two different stories. They call us clowns, though.
Double agent speak is so annoying.
90% chance of convection yet probably an acquittal?! Does this guy realize what he is saying?
4:04
90% Guilty
7% Hung
(3%) "Bare chance of acquittal."
He was perfectly clear.
3:58 - "Acquittal is in the mix, but not heavily."
Trump said today openly those were so called "business expenses" which they were not 🙄
So you pay tax if need be....do what an attorney said to do and then he tries to extortion money for setting home up..no intent no crime..no conviction
@@Future2024 .... Hush money is not a business expense 🙄
@theodorejay1046 He said they were legal fees, which they were. Stormy Daniels got paid 130k but Trump paid Cohen back over 400k. That right there tells you the payments to Cohen involved other legal matters that Cohen was doing for Trump at that time and not just repayment to Cohen.
Plus an NDA is a legally binding legal document, so it's not hard to see how it could be seen as a legal expense. Do you honestly expect Trump to put "Hush Money payment" on the check? That's crazy, because by doing that it could be argued that he was violating the non disclosure agreement.
Trump also wasn't the one that said to label it a "Legal Expense."
Cohen tried to claim that Trump, while he was in the White House was still micro managing what was happening at his company, which is absurd. If Trump was so involved in all the fine details of everything how did Trump not notice that Cohen was committing Grand Larceny (Stealing) right under his nose?
This whole thing is a farce.
Trump will more than likely be found guilty though because it's next to impossible for him to get a fair trial in a district that Biden won 87% of the vote in, especially during an election that Trump is on track to win.
The guilty verdict will 100% be overturned but the Democrats don't care about that because they know it will be after the election. The poll numbers are so against them right now that they believe this is their only chance at winning. Label Trump a felon on some BS and hope Biden can limp across the finish line.
Thankfully recent polling is showing that the majority of Americans view this case as purely political and a guilty verdict doesn't hurt Trump.
Taxpayers paid hush money for Clinton TWICE. Where’s the outrage?
200 million dollars of sticking probes up Trump's ass and you come up with an 'accounting entry'? You are mentally ill.

HEY MAGA MISFITS : DON'T COME HERE DEFENDING THE RUMP
The sheer amount of mental and ideological gymnastics going on here with this guy... you wont say the judge is biased but you will say he has a certain "pre - election" .. are you serious? Get over this ..
Never toss out an accusation against an accomplished expert unless you also provide specifics and credible facts to support your position. Otherwise, everyone thinks you're another blinded partisan troll making baseless accusations.
Not just any expert, but the guy who was Trump's own lawyer.
....as was Cohen, for anyone who might be looking for a pattern.
Exactly. Well said.
@@jlvandat69 That former counsel directly contradicted himself. What he said is the proof. And what "everyone" thinks is completely inadmissible as evidence.

Trump knows how to use the American court system and this lawyer is just one of the reasons.
Michale Cohen is about as credible as a fart.
By previous witnesses corroborating Cohen's testimony in every detail, trump is fooked.
So what you're saying is he is more credible than Trump?
They have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. It's a very high standard. Trump has the presumption of innocence. Trump get every benefit of the doubt. In other words, when discussing material facts in question, the jury must assume the facts favor trump in every instance.
A perfect examply would be with the phone call Cohen made to Schiller. Evidence shows that Cohen made the phone call to Schiller about a 14 year old prankster. Cohen claims he also said he told Trump about the Stormy Daniels Payment in the same phone call. The evidence doesn't show that and there is some doubt about whether Cohen really did talk to trump. In that instance, the doubt would favor Trump - The discussion of Stormy Daniels didn't occur. That's way Reasonable Doubt is supposed to work.
Glad that you are not a juror.
Not how reasonable doubt work. It has to be a “reasonable ” doubt which is legal speak for not just any doubt
