Why is NBC telling the truth?????
Good question. I guess because it is right in front of their faces.
Doesn’t matter.
CZcams will hide it
@@CZcamsdeletesBecause RFK is a bigger threat than trump. They want two options. Trump is compromised enough for them to feel comfortable in the unlikely event he is elected.
To set the stage…..
Every now and then the truth becomes so blatant they can't even hide it anymore.
a liar and a thief
Yes Trump is.
@@BurkBernardTrump2024
Two peas in the same pod.
How come every hero of the Democrat party, who is going to save the country from Trump, turns out to be a complete crook and loser.
They had to know this guy was a liar and a crook.
@@BurkBernard
This guy stole from Trump.
Their star witness is both a liar and a thief. Real nice.
He’s a thief because he told the truth about stealing? Then how is he a liar?
@@JoeD0403 No, he's a thief because he admitted stealing from Trump.
@@JoeD0403 He's a thief because he stole and he's a liar because he's a documented serial liar and perjurer. You have to be trolling.
@@TomFord-ri5xeno he’s being serious. These people are just that dumb believe it or not.
@@TomFord-ri5xe So anyone that hired Michael Cohen as an attorney must also be human garbage, right?
Bragg never said which side his "star" witness was going to be the "star" for. Hahahahaha
Michael Cohen is turned out to be another Michael Avanati
They had to know this from 2018. He always lied repeatedly in court.
That is why the democrats love him.
Why is this "*SOB*" Not in prison where he belongs. 👈😶. 🇺🇸
Who wants to testify for the defense.
@@Bob-bb3ur Yep!!! That's what the dems do best they lie cheate and still and they are not to be "*THRUSTED*". 👈👀🇺🇸
Looks like their “star” witness is not so smart 😂
He’s a thief like his former boss.
@@BurkBernard. wrong take but nice try
@@rcmysm9123 So Trump didn’t steal 250 million dollars from his gullible followers for his Stop the Steal fund and save America pac that he never created?
The prosecution's case is that Trump stole from his own company, and Cohen helped him do it. This supports that case.
@@BurkBernard haha still in denial. loser!
I don't believe Cohen stole any money. An attorney would never do that 😂
Except him and michael avenatti
Lol
😂😂😂
Cohen's days as a democrat pawn is coming to an end.
Why is there no mistrial? In a honest system the da would immediately withdraw all charges.
Because the Judge's daughter is too busy campaigning and collecting cash for the Democrats. Facts you won't hear from the US Corporate Media.
For what?
Because of the testimony of 2 women that were paid and the fact that Weiselman cooked the books and is in Rikers prison . Prosecutor knew Cohens testimony held no water. Ex convicts aren’t exactly STAR witnesses. Low credibility. Even lower because he was an attorney. The jurors will decide not the public. Me personally, I think he will be fined and that will be the end of it. The IRS may have some inquiry afterwards. 2 tiered justice system. Also, Peckers testimony was enough to avoid a mistrial.
@@hobbso8508 element of the crime is an underlying offense. No one has enumerated through testimony an underlying offense the primary witness has been proven to lie in court, and cannot be accepted by the court as a credible witness.with no credible witness for the prosecution it Would either be withdrawn by the DA and the witnesses completely destroyed himself and can’t be relied on to take someone’s freedom. Or the judge with the Clare mist trial based on the fact that the court refuses to accept the witnesses testimony as the witness has proved to the court in the court that he is a liar and lied under oath and dismiss the witness committed perjury on the stand
@@psp1921tsmg
1. That's not a mistrial. A mistrial would mean you want to restart the trial with a whole new jury.
2. He isn't the only witness.
3. His credibility is not determined this way, the jury makes that call.
4. There is also material evidence, such as calls between Trump and people involved in the payments, Trump personally signing all 34 checks and numerous financial documents all detailing the hiding of the payment as other expenses.
Can't wait to watch Richie Mandow try and spin this
And... he will.
case is over another W for Trump.
Keep dreaming. Cohen's personal flaws are not going to result in a Trump acquittal.
@@nrdifyWhat crime did he commit?
We got to get passed the corrupt jury tho
😹😹😹😹😹😹the “Star” witness!
The further confirms that TDS makes people stupid.
It was well known by 2018 that Cohen was a pathological liar and a crook.
Fake news reporters all of sudden became sane
It hurts for news to say admit this !
Hard to believe this guy is actually a lawyer
He's been disbarred
He was a lawyer...he is now a democrat pawn.
Hard to believe Trump had him represent him for so long.
November landslide…
Must hurt admitting Trump is innocent.... Now you Libs need to interview Alvin Bragg
The admission is yours, of your limited perception, that in your head, this proves Trump "innocent".
@motorrad2 na.. it's documented and recorded.. stated under oath... Trump will M-A-G-A and make the cost of tissues cheaper for all you Libs
How does that equate to Trump being innocent? Cohen isn’t on trial, get a grip.
@@dylanlucas1635 he will be soon enough.. grand larceny incoming.
LOL Oh man get away from the Koolaid jug.
So in 2016 he was being sued for his fake university and you thought, "This is my guy". And that same year he was sued for a fake charity where he and his family kept 95% of all donations, and you thought, " Yup, he's my guy"
You don't have any morals do you.
What a waste of taxpayer money NY.
Did anyone even need to hear from Cohen to realize this whole thing was exactly what DonaldTrump said it was?
Years ago in the civil case between Daniels and Trump, Trump is on record as admitting the payment to Cohen was a reimbursement and not a payment for legal services.
I'm impressed nbc is talking about this. And they're actually shocked that a guy who's a convicted perjurior lied and stole. End of the day,this helps Trump out so much.
WOW! NBC is finally reporting honest news.
Yes, but they look like they just downed a quart of warm grapefruit juice.
Excuse my Language but Trump's attorneys are some seriously Hardcore Mother Effers. Absolutely outstanding, brilliant lawyers
LoL....never heard of a case and a wiitness imploding in such a spectacular fashion. ROFL
Said, absolutely no smart person ever....
Why.. all they did was ask questions and get answers that Cohen had already given 2 days ago.
@@R2_D3I cannot fathom how democrats became so dumb 😂
@@rob3539🤣🤣😂😂 this case is over my guy
This takes a lot for NBC to air this. I guess it’s too cut and clear, they ran out of excuses.
This case is over it all hinged on Cohens word which is worth dogshit. Its over.
I just heard Braggs say to Trump's defense..."you sunk my battle ship!!!" 😅😅😅
Why are MAGA so stupid?
Crooks work with crooks, they do not work with moral people.
Trump surrounded himself with like-minded people, Weisselberg probably also stole from Trump.
Kudos to NBC for telling the bad news out loud. None of the other networks will talk about this.
CNN has already covered this. I've just watched an 11 minute clip on Y/T.
What bad news?
I can tell you what the jury thought about Cohen stealing from Trump.
Crooks work with crooks, they do not work with moral people.
Trump surrounded himself with like-minded people, Weisselberg probably also stole from Trump.
@@haasteagle4925 Nope. No such video.
MSNBC actually did a video. You know it’s bad
oh plenty are. Most of the right wing platforms are all over this lol
Calling Smith from the FEC will put a dagger to Braggs case. After that, this case should be dismissed.
Merchan won't allow it. Merchan knows this case won't survive appeal. His only hope now is Trump doesnt win because he know Trump DOJ will indict him
Could Michael Cohen be anymore of a train wreck?
Doubtful. What a joke .
Except merchant
Stop your crying!! It's about the ORANGE TURD!!
We are going to have redirect. This won’t be good for Trump.
Meanwhile, isn't it time to change trump's diaper!!?
Haha!! Democrats had all their hopes in Cohen. lol. Hilarious
Things fall apart. The center can no longer hold for democrats
This means nothing.
Trump is a crook, and crooks work with people like you.
So the Jury understands simple concepts like this.
@@KimoBruddah-ki2oo yeah
crooks testifying against their crooked former bosses is a common thing
@@fomalhauto Hahahahahaha don't cry HAHAHAHAHAHa
@@tangok5677I bet you do that a lot.
This actually supports the prosecution.
It took a lot of courage for him to do that. How many of us have stolen from our employers, even when we are so loved and trusted.
Everyone again is frying Cohen. The defense is doing a great job, it's no need for us ... Cohen can't be seeing like he's the only thief on the face of the earth...
Maybe Lefties steal from their employers. Decent people DON"T
Many of us haven't stolen from our employers or lied about them to make money.
The prosecution is a joke!!!
That’s not a hole. This is deceiving people who are not educated in the legal process. Disgraceful.
Stealing $30k in NYC is a misdemeanor 😅😂😅
It’s a misdemeanor to give the homeless food or money in Fort Lauderdale.
Preheat the oven when making cookies.
Giraffes don’t like ceiling fans.
Google was my idea.
He is still a thief whichever way you look at it?
@@YChannelOnlineGames that one went over your head. NYC is lawless.
80k. Unbelievable
I’m shocked this case didn’t get tossed as soon as his testimony ended. The prosecution witness admitted to committing far more serious crimes against the defendant. I’m assuming he did so because he knew the defense had discovered it. Cohen has every reason to make up whatever he can. He’s trying to avoid a long prison sentence. I’m curious if he was offered immunity. If he was, the prosecutor should be disbarred. You don’t waive more serious felonies to prosecute a weak case for minor crimes.
I spent many years in law enforcement and I’ve never even heard of this happening let alone witnessed it myself. If he’s found not guilty, prosecutors could be looking at serious professional and perhaps worse repercussions. At a minimum he’s got a civil case for violation of rights. Of course, like all lawyers do, judges protect their own. A prosecutor’s power in this country is out of control and there are essentially no real checks and balances anymore.
This Trial just guaranteed Trumps election victory.
😅 it's so satisfyingly true
Or his Morehouse speech the other day
Essentially, the district attorney brought a case that should’ve never been brought, but we all knew this excluding everyone here
Why not? Cohen just made their case.
@@hobbso8508 How so? Genuinely curious.
@@TimeLord675 Cohen testified that he overcharged for legal fees when taking payment for the hush money. This overpayment was a theft from the Trump organization, as was the entire hush money payment, and was used to pay off Cohen for his services. Trump literally signed the checks for this.
Big surprise that a criminal hires a criminal to do his dirty work.
Wrong take, but nice try! Your hopes are going up in flames.
cope harder 🤣
But but but I thought we got him this time……when are we gonna get him?
Wow FAKE NEWS NBC actually reported the real news😂
The powers that be barely seem to wanna convict this man for his slimy behavior. And now this? Even if he’s slime… There’s no way this man is getting convicted.
NBC News, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
That’s kinda the point but thanks for how that feature works👍
And Bragg and this judge had to have known it! Both should be disbarred and this "case" tossed. What an embarrassment to the legal system.
Michael Cohen must be spent. I kinda feel sorry for him.
He’s postponed surgery to do this trial. Heart condition.
@@teresadragstream8648 He might be hoping the surgery doesn't go well
Womp womp
Sure many liars always end up as thieves .
Hey gang! How did court go today?
What case are they going to try next? 130 days left
This was addressed on redirect. You are saying different things than Katy P.
Yikes. Feds hinged their entire case on Saul Goodman.
That's definitely nothing to Bragg about
You know it’s bad when the bias media has to start telling the truth. 😂😂😂
Great witness… NOT! 😂
2 WORDS:
JURY NULLIFICATION
JURY NULLIFICATION
JURY NULLIFICATION
JURY NULLIFICATION
Prosecutors use criminal witnesses all the time. The corroborating evidence is the link to the crime.
And what was the evidence he provided
@@rondahelms3109 He stated what all the other witnesses had testified to.. and in addition admitted he had billed Trump more than the amount he gave to Red Finch... which has nothing to do with the charges against Trump. So the jury is left to ponder ALL the other witnesses evidence and then decide how much of Cohen's testimony (given his character is under question) they will take on board as being corroborating evidence.. i.e. it is not the principle evidence in the case. ..
Do you still believe this is a fair prosecution
I've got to give props to Bragg. He and his team are doing a brilliant job in this trial...of ruining their career and the legitimacy of the office he holds🚩🙄🚩🙄🚩🙄🚩🙄🚩🙄🫡
Boy, NBC, did you ever soft-soap this! Ha. Ha. Ha.
LAWYERS have a license to Steal Big...
Another Judas who was a thief and betrayed his master.
He’s a liar because he admitted to stealing? Which is it? Did he lie or admit something truthful? The defense is a train wreck. 🚂 💥
He has been caught in a ton of lies. So, he is now a liar AND a thief. That isn’t a defense issue at all, but it’s definitely showcasing how dumb this case is.
Biden is done.😂😂😂
@@uckfeouye8971 Who do you support? Donald McRapist?
He admitted to lying to a jury on an earlier case.
During this case he admitted to stealing.
Two separate cases and incidents entirely.
Trying to confuse people is difficult I know but don’t give up👍
He lied about the phone call to Schiller and got caught.
😂😂 Cohen thought he was gonna go in tell his story he told CNN gets an applause and go home - he totally forgot about the defense team wanting to hear the other side of the story he ain’t telling - a thief and a liar as a star witness 😂😂😂😂
Funniest part is Trump hired him for his crooked ways, so it is no surprise that a witness with corroborating evidence is also a crook like the accused 45 crook. Mob cases are like that too. Dump45 really hangs in crooked company. Hope he gets some prison time.🤣🤣🤣
Were you not listening 2 days ago.. Cohen said it all back then.. this is not new news... and he told the jury why he did it.. i.e. to get cash out of Trump because Trump was refusing to pay him his bonus... thats the laughable bit.. Trump stiffing his lawyer and the lawyer stiffing him back. These two both grew up amongst the russian mafia and their attitudes rubbed off on both. p.s. I had to edit, to clarify that Trump never really did grow up.
NBC telling the truth wow wow wow
Just follow the money and you will see who is guilty, really it is that simple, anything else is irrelevant.
yea...looks like cohen kept some money he was supposed to pay out as reimbursement..
@@davidcleveland-yv6my I'm not sure it was a reimbursement to Red Finch. The initial report a few days ago had the media suggesting that but todays/yesterdays reports suggest it was for (unknown) services rendered. Frankly I dont think they really know and are just guessing but wont say that.
@@rob3539 was part of the 130 twice plus this and that and a bonus 450 something package.
Thanks NBC for telling the truth finally. You guys OK? Lol
It's not about Cohen!! IT'S ABOUT THE SMELL!!!
Which comes from the current white house
Yep this case stinks of political use of the court system.
its about nothing now lol
Oh, Dementia Joe isnt here dude.
Is nbc telling the truth 😮
Do the math. He stole 30k on the over billing and 30k when trump repaid him. Laughable.
Cohen is simply testifying truthfully as he is suppose to...the good the bad and the ugly...at least that is what I would be thinking if I were a juror.
Because you are a bias Democrat. Any rational person would conclude Mike is a liar and a thief....which he is. The dude just admitted to grand larceny in court. And you still believe him? Really?
I wouldn't believe a word he said. He is a liar and a thief.
"truthfully", are you serious?
He testified that he didn't turn on Trump in 2018 because of his loyalty to Trump. But someone who's loyal doesn't steal 30,000 dollars.
@@denisenoonan1089 You are not in the jury box.
He's not being truthful, they are bringing it out by asking the questions. He is crossing his answers and that's what happens when you lie! The truth is coming out! Time for Trump to get his rightful seat back in the white house!
Trump 2024🇺🇸
The con man got conned? Who cares..
With all this lying and stealing. Cohen might be the one going to jail😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Michael Cohen the thief 🤣🤣🤣🤣
TYRANNY
Hahahahaha
Less than truthful = LIE
You know, like everything ever said by Donald Trump.
Great witnesses.
He stole $30,000 and just now admitted it. There’s one thing Michael Cohen is concerned about and that’s Michael Cohen and he will do whatever it takes to keep that going
Trumpys stole all your money for himself
No money for campaines
President Trump 2024
The trials to "prove" Trump's corruption simply shows how corrupt everyone else is LOL
And anyone who was honest from jump is not at all surprised by any of this clown show! 😂 You know it's not looking good when these media manipulators start slipping the truth in to their "reporting".... lol

@@uckfeouye8971 MAGA brain rot much.
Again, for what?
U L T R A M A G A
The defense attorney makes Cohen look more like Trump. Trump hired him for a reason-- that he could depend on him acting like Trump would and could be depended on to carry Trump's orders.
The GOP has dug itself into such a deep hole over the last 7-8 years and they just keep digging. My former party is unsavable at this point, and it will take at least a generation to overcome. Quite possibly two generations.
In other news, Biden is attending a funeral in Iran.
Do you know if Cohen has credibility? I do not think anyone needs to poke any holes.
This is called reporting today? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So what! Michael stole money from a crook who stole money from all of us!!
Stole from who ? Last time I checked Joe was sending our money to Ukraine 🥴 that TDS sure has a hold of you
