#Trump #Trial #MichaelCohen
In this interview, despite the interruptions by these journalists who have too much water in their ears to listen, Davis presented the most cogent and clear perspective on these matters thus far.
Now let's hope the prosecution can drive that perspective home to the jury in their closing summary.
Three words that will make America the greatest country in the world.
⚖️🇺🇸GUILTY AS CHARGED 🇺🇸⚖️
Yeah, I agree with you 💯%.
Well, can I make mine four words ? Thank you🙏
"SEND HIM TO JAIL"
We'll see how ya feel pray tell if this kinda thing happens to you
@@deborah6298 nobody commits crimes like trump, so we don't have to worry about it.
Are you aware that America is not a country?
@AccelerateYourSuccess keep believing EVERYTHING your being told
I love the way Lonny Davis talks like someone who isn’t going to let a lie prevail.
He’s the attorney for the guy who just lied or trial…………….
@@thurmanmurman1226 you sure about that?😂
@@msmacmac1000 it says on the video he’s cohens attorney. So yea pretty sure 😂
i love trump guilty headed to prison! BHBAHHAA
@@thurmanmurman1226 Cohen told the truth. You're in a cult.
I like Lanny Davis, straight facts no chaser!
Thank you so much lying mafia lawyer Robert Costello for putting the final nail in Trump's coffin. You are a Super Star!!! 😂😂😂
Strom. God knows we won't win a real election now that people have seen Bidens failed presidency!!!!!!
No need to pay cohen for his services. He'll take what he needs himself.
@@thebilboshow168 This case is DONE. TRUMP WINS!!!
@@thebilboshow168 Not here in the REAL world.😀
Yes he sure did 😂😂😂
I’m still wondering what the mainstream media has against Cohen… the guy did his time, he can’t work as a lawyer, y’all are just being cruel and helping the defense for no good reason.
Ratings
Liar,oportunist,criminal,he should no be making money selling t-short,pod cadt,CNN,books, shame on them.
These two are so dumb. How many times did he need to explain it.
Listen to what is being said.
Thank you I was saying the same thing these 2 reporters seem to be riding hard to find excuses to take away the Blame from Trump and put it on Mike. if Somebody's a Soldier For You they're doing the killing but you're doing the ordering of the killing.
You and me BOTH.
I believe this jury will go with GUILTY!!!!
Fingers and toes crossed 🙏🙏
What’s the crime
@@charlesasmith7836true. Watch his polls climb.
So what if they do? Trump has won in the eyes of the electorate.
Me, too. The Democrats have a long history of lynchings, they have not changed much.
Trump wanted Costello on the stand. Bad move. He just torpedoed the entire defense.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy...
And there wasn’t much of one to begin with…😂
Good 😄
Cohen torpedoed bragg case against trump by stating numerous times that he lied to the jury stating he did that to further bragg career and to financially benefit himself if he lied and stole from the trump organization
That's what trump gets for trying to do his lawyer's job.. what a DUMB AZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone needs to see this.
The guy nails the case. I get it now.
As long as the jury understands this trump is toast.
Costello crashed and burned. He’s a nut.
Aren’t all liberals?
💯
@@Americasinertiahe’s no liberal
He crashed and burned because the politically motivated judge claimed he was looking at him in a way he didn't like? I never knew a look could be so dangerous.
Even better he corroborated Michael Cohen's explanation of the 2018 stuff.
"Thank you for allowing me to explain that without interruption" yup that's where we are at with the press. Sad
Not only did he say that but he also said it was the first time he’s been able to say it in total.
What is wrong with these media people who do not know or understand what is going on. Mr. Davis is unbelievably patient with these media couple who want to doubt what is legally true.
I would have lost my temper if I'd been in Mr Davis's situation.
It's like explaining something very simple to children, who're somehow still unable to comprehend.
Is stupidity a requirement for being a journalist, or do journalists get so lost in their own narrative that they lose the ability to reason?
Some wants to play around on the play ground Lanny just gives you the Fact with no lies attach. I said it the other day you don't need MC to testify the first 3 witnesses nailed it.
They were reimbursements and not legal fees. Bottom line.
Agree
What was the crime tho ?
@@heemlo649falsified business records in violation of campaign finance laws.
You can not be educated, give him more of your money!
@@heemlo649 Try to follow: Trump supporters like to twist the reality of his indictments. Whenever he cries "witch hunt," you jump to his defense.
Lanny Davis is one of the most capable defense lawyers around. If I ever got into trouble, I would want him representing me.
terrible interviewers!
stop interrupting this professional lawyer.
agreed - they seem to be unpleasant people and unprofessional interviewers am I missing something?
The only thing missing is the brain cells of the interviewers. They muddied the waters and the professor had to state the facts multiple times.
I love Lenny doesn’t let these silly reporters walk over him
Lanny.
Lanny Davis to these so-called reporters: "Believe your lying eyes". LOL
Dannng man! How many different ways did Mr. Davis have to explain it for the two of them to get it?!?
The guy is speaking the truth…
Hard to tell if they are asking leading questions or just stupid...
If I could afford him, Mr. Davis would be my lawyer.
I think stupid nails it.
A charitable interpretation is they are getting the guest to demolish the claims made by Trump, which talks about legal services in the drop down menu.
Seems like they were caught without legal talent to comment on Costello's cross.
Biased
Lol you'd higher a lying Chimp as your attorney? Make it make sense 🤣🤣🤣
@@DeniseK-Creative I agree - I didn't understand what the were getting at and why so aggressive
Stormy triggers the magacultists bigly.
well cuz she’s lied a lot this trial. like completely. if u want proof i’ll show ya
Using the wrong pronoun triggers you bigly
It’s fantastic
@@skankhunt42002lol
Says a cheating cannibal supporter
Jail now.
For briben
Yes 🔒
For Biden maybe.
duty dictates action yes
Yes, for any other person convicted, but I doubt very much that Trump will even get remotely close to a jail cell unfortunately.
*The document speaks for itself... It's the math, stupid."* 🤣
- Lanny Davis, 2024
really enjoyed the very smart lawyer repeatedly explaining the same thing
Chicken 🐔 Trump Not going to testify Of course not ....
😅😅😅. Chicken. Who is cheating? Your corrupt cannibal. Spineless
Coward, Obviously 🥴
Why would he? There is no crime.
he was never going to testify now he can cry to his followers he wasnt allowed to because gag order and they will fall for that
@@henryg3313 not too bright, are you?
I don't think the presenters did themselves any favours there.... to be blunt, they sounded a bit clueless.
That was actually a very good segment . Like the guest said , it was good that he was allowed the room , and the time to explain the questions the hosts had . Gives the viewer a MUCH better understanding of the ramifications in the DA's strategy .
It's annoying how reporters make hypotheticals then ask questions knowing well what evidence proves the case without Michael taking the stand 😐. I can sense this mans frustrations.
They're trying to be 'balanced'. But it's not working - case is over, Costello blew it up.
@@Euskalherria21 you can't both sides the truth. That's why smart people follow @meidastouch
@@Euskalherria21 There is no balance when truth is involved. It is like the media seeing "two sides" to Maga. Think "good people on both sides"........lol
The evidence does make the case, but Cohen makes it human for the jury. He was a loyal Trump soldier who was led astray, and is now trying to redeem himself. To the extent he gets their sympathy, they will believe the documents more, and believe in the sleeping orange man in front of them less.
The case is over. Time to pack it all up
Agree and find trump guilty guilty guilty 🔒
ITs All Over, but The Shoutin '.😮😅
U know Maga 😢 💧 🥲 😅 😂 😹 Oh Tears for Fears 🎉 Shout Shout 🎉 Let IT All Out 🎉🎉 So Come On 🎉 I'm Talking 👄 to U 🎉 Come On 😉
Time of Death for Trump in this case by next week
Donald is guilty.
Guilty
Why are the host being so dense. It seems clear as a bell?
So long as the outcome is in doubt, journalists can milk the trial for viewers and ads. Once it is over, their gravy train ends and they have to find a new story to pump.
@@SeedFactoryProject as much as I despise Trump and for a myriad of reasons, what he says about the media has a lot of truth to it. They way they cover his every blink and fart is testament to the "milking" you spoke of.
If they had cut the coverage of him in half, we'd be that much closer to a normal state of affairs in this now wacky country.
Thank you Mr. Davis.
I'm sure it is not the first time Bob Costello has lied in court.
Costello has a reason to lie because he might have pending crimes that haven't been exposed by the media or caught up with him yet. He needs a pardon from Donald Trump. Like every attorney who has helped Trump, they've been indicted or disbarred. This is their final attempt to save themselves. Donald Trump won't go on the record because he knows he's a lying, stealing criminal with many accusations against him, even though two witnesses claimed this was politically motivated.
You misspelled COHEN, SERIAL PERJURER EXTRAORDINAIREEEEEE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow he not a creduble witnesses at all.of trump typical
@@dm6187trump going to testify?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 not good practice to put a malignant narcissitic ie: pathological liar on stand. His first day in office was spent lying about the size of his inauguration crowd🤣🤣🤣🤣
The prosecution's star witness is a convicted liar.
Well said Mr Davis it’s common sense
Thank God for laney DAVIS 💯💯💯💯💯
Great explanation from the invited lawyer.
Get out of your bubbles and quit following the talking points of the DEFENDANT instead of the PEOPLE
Agree that Criminal Defendant vote 💙
Not over till the old baby sings! Or cries… pray people so he doesn’t get another chance to destroy our country… Vote till you turn everything Blue! We need the House to accomplish more great things because Biden delivers for all of us 👍💙🇺🇸✔️💯
He delivers inflation.
@@kelperdudeYou delivered your opinion, fortunately it's provably false.
Try looking up the definition of inflation.
@@mrfirestop415briben did create the inflation. It started the first hour he was corruptly in office, with a pen.
@@mrfirestop415inflation when briben corruptly took over 1.9%
@@mrfirestop415it is true cannibal supporter
Magats melt under truth and logic.
Hilarious
What happened to “ only I can fix it.” ? Not testifying says everything.
💯🎯
Because you can't fix stupid
Because they’re all tired of “winning”.
This is the problem with media, how many times does this man have to go through the evidence and say it shows trump is guilty, loke how many times does this man need to say this and the host still going oh what about this
The media got Trump elected the first time and they are desperately trying to do it again.
The Weisselberg Document is the case.
No, you needed the conspiracy to illegally affect the election too, it's no good just proving misdemeanors as statute of limitations ran out.
No, the canceled checks are. 9 of them.
Case for what…. Paying Cohen…. Yes stupid idea but not illegal
As a foreigner I will say that Lenny Davis is in my opinion a very trustworthy lawyer which in your beloved USA is quite a compliment
well said
A skilled advocate for a lying stealing unethical ex lawyer and MSDNC contributor
Res ipsa loquitur = it speaks for itself. Case closed. Sentence Trump and send him to prison, period. 🤔🤔
Explanation without interruption! Well done
What a brilliant summation!
diaper dementia donny is done for 😂
😅😅. Sure, cheating cannibal supporter
Do you really want 4 more years of Joey?
I do hope so - but one corrupt juror can save him
@@mariegotti6492I don't, I can't afford him besides, 2 War Joe needs to Go
X45 talks a big talk but in the end refused to testify. Some Alpha Male.
He keeps calling it a witch hunt, but he has half the Republican party under his spell. I say we found the witch.
LOCK HIM UP…LOCK HIM UP
Spot on, thank you for clearing it up for them and everyone else that doesn't get it
Aren’t we all sick of tv talking heads turning this into a crime drama?
Talk about “financial interest” in prolonging/confusing the situation.🙄
Lanny is absolutely spot-on here. The defence has offered no alternative explanation for the evidence to counter the prosecution's case. There isn't anything for the jury to decide. The judge could simply direct them to find Trump guilty.
Collaboration!
He perjured himself this Costello clown
They all do.. when they're called on it tRumpsters dumps them.
Trump friend and former attorney.
Now former Trump friend.
Listen to Linny!!!! He’s keeps saying it. Listen.
Lanny.
I don't comprehend why the anchors are butting heads with the guest. I see exactly what he is saying. The facts have been brought forward WITHOUT Cohen's testimony. No matter what anyone thinks of Cohen from this point, is irrelevant. Moving on.....
Fact..look at the document
Sounds like THIS lawyer got things needing to be SAID.
Von Trump Guilty As Charged. LOL
Having an "expert" explain all that is one thing. I just hope the common jury can figure it all out.
They're a NY jury, with 2 lawyers, so as long as they follow the evidence and not feelings for a cult leader. they'll do right by America and our justice system.
She's obnoxious. Bring on the A team.
The problem is also the way the media covers TFG, they love the clicks they get because of him. Get a grip MSNBC!
Oh, bless her heart… She just wants to make a bigger deal out of it. I wish she could just listen and then speak.
Thank You .. Why aren’t the media making a big deal that Trumpler is not taking the stand if he’s innocent
It's very rare for a defendant to take the stand in any case. All the burden of proof is on the prosecution
Bc it can't be held against him. Every Defendant has that right. We are definitely talking about it.. but, legally it's not a presumption. I'd be wondering too if I were on the Jury. We all know he's a coward !
Finally..let justice speak. No Legal fees on any documents.
Hey lets make this Circus Trial last another week. ITS OVER, TRUMP WINS!!! NEXT!!!
Announcers working for FOX?
Right? There's a fine line between a devil's advocate and the devil. They appear to be in the former category, however, someone less experienced than Mr. Davis may have been confused and intimidated into saying something untrue.
@@maureenoneill5754or maybe he is simply telling the truth, and the truth triggers you
It's the daytime crew. They're bad. José and Ana are not the worst though, Katie Tur & Andrea Mitchell are a lot worse.
it seemed like it -- is it MSNBC policy?.... they tried , and failed, to have a maga on the team a while back
Trump is the antichrist, a blasphemous false idol.
4:33 "I almost fell of my chair... Believe your lying eyes".. 😂😂😂
Jail
Wow. Lanny is so good. How many times did he need to explain the same thing?
This guy is ON it!! Great explanations and clarifications.
Oh god CNN please quit normalizing Trump! Quit with the Trump big baby! That's why I watch Misses Touch! At least they are honest! Over CNN!
Meidas
Who involved in the situation WASN'T about making money!?
Just save us all this drama and put a fork in this turkey!
I was interviewers would not elaborate on their questions. Let the person you are interviewing do the talking!!!
Thank you Lanny Davis
Davis to Diaz-Balart: "I just gave you the facts". And Dump wasn't "tied in". He orchestrated the whole thing.
Davis is schooling them on law speak and these anchors are just trying too hard to outsmart him. He puts up roadblocks on every single one of their attempts to do everything to hold Trump accountable. Cohen is lucky to have this guy on his side clarifying all the bad info.
He is in jail for perjury so why would they call for him to testify ? He would lie again duh
Who ?
News Anchors in America need to be lawyers or they need to have a PhD in journalism!!!
It would make sense that Costello would still lie for trump and Cohen would not lie. Cohen has gone to prison already and doesn't want to go to prison again.
Thing is .. everything Cohen says is backed up with documentation
No legal fees!!! Who cares about legal fees.
Yeah. I care about the fake indictment

Completely exonerated if the only person who can tie Trump to this crime is a person who is robbing him blindly and lied about the call where he said the crime took place.

Cohen admitted multiple times Trump was never involved in anything. The whole thing is irrelevant and a waste of time. The facts in this case are NOT CRIMES.
Hey kid, you're not much of a wiz.
Do you sign checks without knowing what it’s for or where it’s going. Not picking at ya just kinda a fact.
Please see Trump's own words under oath entered into to evidence from hiis CA civil case against Stephanie Cliffords showing his knowledge and intent of payments. Also see Exhibits 35 & 36
@@richardluce775 clearly, Trump did, or he wouldn't have been ripped off for $60,000 by Michael. Maybe you missed him admitting to that on the stand yesterday. Michael wrote false invoices. Trump paid false invoices. Michael claims the false invoices were directed by Trump but Trump didn't direct Michael to steal from him which is wrapped up in that money they're alleging went to Stormy. You can't have it both ways. And yes I have paid invoices and later on found out they weren't entirely accurate.
