- Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo on the Legal AF podcast debate: the end of the NY Trump trial, including whether the judge’s decision that the prosecution doesn’t have to prove one particular second crime in order for Trump to be convicted of a felony, is an advantage for the prosecution.

Oooo...
Vote for Joe, not the Convicted Felon
Lol
Doesn't rhyme😂😂

George is so over Trump.
I'd vote for a career politician all the way. My children won't have SS due to them but the other choice is a man I spend all day talking about with my friends and honestly wouldn't have much reason to exist without me giving my opinion on him every 15 minutes.
rtump A the billionaire CONSTANTLY begging for money? Wake up to the con, America.
Well said and absolutely correct
Trump's a Billionaire ,like I'm a Trillionaire
@@KiraReminiec9399 eff, he had a problem paying up the $434 mil from the LAST court show... and he still hasn't paid E Jean Carrol...he doesnt have as much as he claims, or it's hidden soemwhere
@@eclipsehorse8693 But in the cases of E. Jean Carrol at least the money is deposited
Felonious Trump is a BINO billionaire in name only.
We the UK hope and pray trump is found guilty
Yes civilised free countries agree. Poor Australians- voted out the weak PM who acted poorly but loudly proclaimed his Xn faith. Now he’s sucking up to DT. So embarrassing for my Aussie friends.
Say no to all con merchants, especially if they espouse religion. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
How about hoping and praying that Kennedy becomes president. Biden has extreme dementia and every one knows it.
Thanks for your support UK 😊
💩👍most of us want the 💩🧠🤡 gone 4- ever !
Held in contempt 10 times, violating gag order daily, threatening everyone from the judge on down. He has not spent a single day in jail. THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!!!! LOCK HIM UP!!!! We the people have rights as well.
Wish you weren't talking fairy tales but you are. We the people don't have rights as well.
A rich man's tantrums outweigh your "rights", that was explained in orientation.
Protect the people - from Trump.
The two party legal system is giving him a pass . Again and again and again.
--Does make you think about people doing time for what comparatively seems like penny ante stuff. ? ⚖ ?
@Starr6669 the judge is being very through so thre I'd no reason for mistrial, appeal or it being over turned
Trump should lose his secret service protection. He doesn't deserve it.
But he is legally entitled.
Sadly he’ll be allowed to have it. It isn’t illegal😔
@@illawarriorhill70 I know
He's going to need it, if or when many of his supporters wake up and realise they have been used, lied too, scammed and grifted. I wonder if the truth social shares scam will be the tipping point. Maybe, maybe not. But u can definitely see the panic and desperation among some Republicans. Never a good idea to scam the crazies with guns.
I know, but he doesn't follow the rules now does he
I'm a Democrat if Rtump was The Democrat candidate I would vote Republican.
Exactly! It doesn’t matter what party a criminal politician belongs to; we simply can’t afford one in the White House.
@@AMunoz-rh9cz Everyone keeps talking about Trump. And yes, but Trump isn't the only threat. The ENTIRE Republican party is a threat. Look at the draconian laws, and the unwillingness to adhere to the will of the people. They're trying to legislate the entire population back into slavery in case you haven't noticed!
Trump was a criminal before he became president. He just wasn’t prosecuted for his crimes.
Wow!! Good!
Don't forget that Trump was once a Democrat before he switched to being a Republican, again taking on whatever fake form (regardless of substance) which he thinks will increase his personal wealth. The agreed same result- No criminal politician should ever be in the White House, regardless of his\her party.
Respect has to be earned and Trump deserves none.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
We have normalized rudeness and inappropriate behavior, thanks to Trump. He's the rudest person I've ever seen. I would never want someone who treats people, including his family, to serve as the President.
Trump even threatens voters who don’t worship him. Watch agenda 2025 , his statements ( which are no answers) on overturning Roe/Wade, his „ indifference“ about how to make sure not to become pregnant. There are more second class citizens than you can think of. I could go on and on.Don’t fall for it.
Know what you meant 🙂
This was started on the internet long before Trump. He is just capitalizing on it.
He's rude and a boor, and he brings out the absolute worst in all the people who ally themselves with him - not just their social behavior, but morally and intellectually as well. He makes people ruder, meaner, immoral, unethical, and just plain stupid. All so that they can beg for the approval of a guy who couldn't care less if they exist or not, as long as he gets their money and their vote.
@@davidgmillsatty1900But most people on the internet are not campaigning to become president of the United States.

I've always voted people, not party. Trump is a terrible person. He lacks the morals I'd expect my children to have, and he was found liable to be a sexual predator. He belongs in a prison..

If he's found guilty I hope it matters to voters.
O the MAGATs will be beside themselves. I hope Merchan et al. have enhanced security.
I'd bet the average American cares more about inflation than keeping up to date in Trump's cases.
Since MAGA judges and MAGA SCO-TUS have blocked and delayed the other major cases (Georgia vote tampering; Classified Docs; Jan6) that should've resulted in THREE guilty verdicts, there better be no MAGA moles in this NY hush money/election interference case that will result in anything but a GUILTY verdict. This nation cannot survive with another CLOWN in the WH. Vote BLUE. The Un-decided voters aren't the brightest bulbs.
I've heard interviews with MAGATS and quite a few said if he is convicted of any of the crimes, they would no longer vote for him.
@@keefn8 How sad.... We have the lowest inflation of all other countries and the average person isn't smart enough to understand that.
When found Guilty , do not give him time to put his finances in check . Go straight to the sentencing stage . Cuff him and take him straight to PRISON .
Although I little to no confidence that will happen, I wholeheartedly agree it should! Lock him up! He can spend time there while waiting for his appeals to be heard!
Just don’t let him get to be like Bannon and stay out if convicted until….?
He will immediately appeal the verdict and drag it out forever like the E Jean Carroll case.
No the the 2 tier system ... anybody that's found guilty and sentenced has the right to appeal. But they do it while they are behind bars . #trumpbehindbars2024
@@ednaaldridge4416E Jean carol case was civil.
Of course hes guilty. 🙄
The evidence basically proves Trump guilty. Please 🙏 convict him!
The vulture s in red ties are hovering over Von Shitzenpentz.
...yep, but he didn't accept 11780 votes missing. Why would he accept the verdict of 12
Fasten seatbelts next week. 🍺😅
@@MondfischliDonnie boy will have to accept the verdict. He will have no choice. He brought this mess on himself.😭😭😭😭😭
@@audreyricci6383 He sure did!
If the Judge gives consequences for Trump’s outbursts, it will help most people be more civilized.
Except MAGA, because just like tfg, rules, even rules of decorum with consequences, don’t apply to me (us) because I am a (we are) special, special snowflake(s). 😖
Yes, we live and learn by example. The behavior has thus far been validated? :( too sad.
I'd vote for Underdog before voting for ANY republican.
@@tomsmith2013 "There's no need to fear/ Underdog is here."
I think they have said it can be tacked on at the end.
Jail him please dont let him become President dangerous
its nice to be born without brain
If only! Wishful thinking...
Hope Judge Chutkan's election interference case against Trump is allowed to proceed .In my opinion this delay is outrageous ! I agree that he should not become president . He is mentally unstable and is unfit to hold any public office ! I hope for a jail sentence as well !
If anyone does this would be a repeat of 1933, if you don't remember history this is when the Nazis kicked of! Targeting minorities, taking away civil liberties, procecutting people expressing any objection to the government. Sounds like trump to me!
Adolf Trump
Hey now. Rep Jasmine Crockett from Texas is a huge voice for democrats and democracy and calls out maga BS with brilliance and passion and truth. A little truth shouting over the loudest lies and loudest mouths needs to continue. She is a powerhouse!
😀✊👍
Glad she’s there.
WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE BE OVER? And yes, I’m SHOUTING. Vote Blue!!
I feel you 😟
If we don’t make major reforms, we will have a repeat.. guaranteed.
Its even more frustrating when you live in another country and hope the americans will do the right thing. Another term of him will destabelize the world profoundly.
Our parents and grandparents created Trump with their negligence. It won't be over until we do the work of creating laws and legal precedents to hold everyone accountable to the law.
In the 2030's, If, you are extremely fortunate. This rot will take years to root-out and remedy. It is deeply ingrained in millions US folks psyches and judiciaries; top to bottom.

If cohen was guilty, so is Trump.
Boom! 💥
Absolutely
Doubly so.

I think Trump has changed everything, including our relationship to the world and our standing amongst our allies.
WHAT:"... allies"? Great Britain? AND:...?
@@lonnieford635All of Nato you can’t be this thick can you?
Even worse, our own families. How low have we stopped allowing a classless individual to bring out the worse in us. Why? Just because he claimed to be filthy rich? Can't we see how he became rich? Certainly not by hard honest work!!
Look at history, USA and allies are very unpopular for foreign policy for 2 generations now at home. Think how it looks to others? Seems the mess we see now is predominantly republican made, popular held belief I would think
Trump is going to be even more of a gibbering mess by Tuesday.
It's so ugly....when the Narcissist is mortified. 😫
That's hard to imagine!
Showtime !
Aye. I said many months ago, "Just give him a few more months of intense pressure and he will go "Cuckoo". Hey-Presto, the soab is going "Cuckoo". It'll get worse, too😉
I may also be from the waiting. Trying to distract myself with other activities.
a way that cannot be understood, usually when you are very frightened or confused: gibbering idiot I stood there like a gibbering idiot.
I’m a young woman and over the last 7 years I’ve noticed that when guys hit on me it has become gradually more aggressive and derogatory. I really think it’s trump and his nastiness that’s causing it. Never used to be this bad.
Most likely. There are so many men out there with platforms spewing degradation towards women.
sorry to hear this, Trump's given them license to 'do whatever the hell they want'... it sets a very very bad example, and NOT an image any real man wants to be or treat a woman
It's also because that whole party is ripe to unravel any amendment that gives rights to women. Reverting laws & the Constitution back to the pre civil war era makes us women the property of men all over again.
This isn't about us having abortions or choices in medical care more than it is about total and complete control. Several states have passed laws that ALLOW girls as young as 10 to be married to men of any age - with severe age gaps - 10 & 46, for instance.
He's definitely part of the problem. But there's a whole cultural movement of weak men desperately trying to be 'alphas' who only manage to be insecure, creepy, misogynistic wimps instead. That's where losers like Andrew Taint come in. They see a generation of gullible, easily controlled morons and they're making bank off of brainwashing them.
@@wait...what... Trump has facilitated them, normalised their behaviour.
If convicted, he should be treated like any other criminal. Jail time and no protection from the civil service.
Secret service? We can't put people in danger like that. It's meant as a punishment, not a death sentence.
Even mobsters get special protection. Some gangsters too. Gen pop would not be okay with all of the racist things he did. It would 100% cause a race riot and pose a danger to the guards and prisoners to have him in Gen pop.
Secret service and his other perks should be stripped away because he's a criminal
Ms Crockett did not scream. She merely gave MTG a taste of her own disrespect. I applaud her.
In my opinion, Marge should have been told to apologize, or get out. She's a moron who doesn't know what her job is, or how to do it.
Right, sometimes you have to stand up to a bully so they will finally realize their own behavior and know they can't continue without backlash! Crockett told her off quick & calmly. AOC stepped in to defend! She had been bullied by MTG in the past.
Absolutely agree 💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙

The 6th of June 2024 marks the 80th anniversary of D Day .
The former guy and his supporters will not be invited to the somber ceremony.

Thank you 🙏.
Excellent comment
Thank you for these kind words.
Many of us here in the US are astounded that this man has maintained a large following. His disrespect for lost soldiers of war alone would've been tge end of his political career years ago. How it isn't now is beyond me!
IIt might be more appropriate to invite German soldiers of today, as they defend democracy and human rights now in an alliance against autocracies. MAGA has no right at all to attend at D Day anniversary, because they "already sit in the NAZI's cradle!"😉
Perfect comment. 🫡
Great comment
Trump claimed he never deducted the repayment, so he lied about that as well.
He lies so much he only plays in lies on lies by now
I really wonder if he declined to testify on advice of counsel or on his own. It's hard to believe he'd listen to his lawyers or have the sense not to open himself up to certain lines of questioning.
He should be rotting in jail for Jan 6 ALONE.
And he should have been taken there on Jan 7th!! WHY are his insurrectionist co-conspirators STILL IN OUR CONGRESS instead of in jail with him??😢😢😢
Exactly!
Vote for Joe not the Psycho!
Judge Merchan has already expressed his reluctance to do anything against a presidential candidate! If Trump is found guilty, the judge needs to grow a pair, apply the law and incarcerate him like anyone else would be. We the people are tired of seeing our justice system bowing down to this criminal instead of doing the right thing!
James caravan-wl5ev,it’s not just bowing to the mad man--it’s pressure to stay in line by the Party’s principles (as eroded as THEY are).
Being confrontational with a narcissist will always get you the opposite of what you want. If Judge Merchan wants to preserve the integrity of his court, he cannot confront Trump directly. He can even afford to be a little appeasing, because once the verdict comes down, this particular narcissist will be out of his court and out of his hair. I think he understands that, if not in precisely those terms, and chose the right path. Tfg will never know he was lying through his teeth about his “reluctance to put a presidential candidate in jail.” But we’ll see.
He said he doesn't want to do this .. but will if nessary.. !!!
It's NESSARY!!!
Ya hes the first contemptuous person ever !!
There are sound reasons for Merchan to be judicious in his management of his court, to avoid the appearance of bias, but just as important, to give the defense fewer issues upon which to file an appeal. He's a really good judge, he knows exactly what he's doing.
@@laoxinat I agree with you completely. And it seems you have a raven on your channel page. 👍😁
At the end of the trial immediately 11x30 days in prison for breaking the gag order.
oh that's going into the formula, believe me- he's not off the hook by a long shot- Merchan can work that into the sentencing
@@eclipsehorse8693 But this can be applied immediately while waiting the 60 days for the verdict and then the delay for imprisonment begins…. Meantime we have 300 days to get some dignity in our lifes
Absolutely
I’m hoping and praying that they convict him. Either way VOTE BLUE
Absolutely totally agree 💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Vote for democracy by voting democrat in all federal, state, and local elections.
Totally agree 💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
For so long, in this country, we've been encouraged to believe that integrity matters. The fact that millions of people have and will cast votes for Trump, proves that to be rhetoric and not much more!
Exactly
Trump's behavior during the trial and about it, how he made statements outside of the courtroom and his reactions/comments to the gag order really show he is guilty.
The jury shouldn’t be aware of that, however. At least, they are not to pay attention to it.
Right? If you fear testifying, because threatening the jury or judge or anyone else connected to them extrajudicially isn't permitted, then you're admitting guilt. An innocent person can testify their account without fear of self incrimination or committing yet more crimes. 🤦
His comments around this trial should becounted, how often similar parts of sentences or words Trump used.
This would show how small the amount of words has become both due to his fear and the dementia going on .
I don’t get it why anyone can support and give comfort to a man to become the nominee of my one and only party I’ve been part of all along.
@@regineheine5707 Yeah, I wasn’t very clear in what I said. His words and actions in the courtroom should absolutely count with the jury. However, juries are supposed to not read or watch any news or opinion about the case outside of the court. That’s for the judge to deal with, and I hope that as soon as the jury retires to consider their verdict, the judge jails Trump for his additional instances of contempt. Just breaking his bail conditions should have him confined until sentence.
Guilty people always fight to be let off. It's not abnormal. Abnormal would be just showing up and saying, yep I did it.
I still believe that the few of us can rise above that ugly, inappropriate, violent rhetoric that MAGA persons display. We've just got to be better than that. Our children are watching.
Bully
Rasist
Revenge
Name calling non stop
Donald J Trump are a scary Nigthmare rolemodel for every Living person
You’re not “few”, you’re the majority. Look at how small the numbers voting in closed Republican primaries are. In some places half the 2020 vote. And one in six has been voting for Nikki Hayley months after she bowed out. Although they have captured the Republican Party machinery, the Trumpists / MAGA are a very loud minority in the US.
Not the few, the majority, by far. Stop letting the media scare you into freezing.
The gop counts on that,... don't be fooled to think that manner is more important then Democracy. For instance, I told my daughter when she played soccer, no manners, don't pass the ball to the other team.
Agree!
Onward To Conviction. America Demands It.
If Donald Trump isn’t held accountable for violating his gag order and being held in contempt of court 10 times and threatening and directing others to threaten the judges daughter etc, how are they ever going to be able to hold anyone else accountable for similar behavior. Trump needs to fall and be an example of what not to do.
💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
When you have a Supreme Court Justice commiting high crimes and accepting bribes, why wouldn't you see the breakdown in the decorum of the legal system?
Link to your stories please. I have not heard of any such crimes or bribes. I suspect you are spouting nonsense.
@@Heater-v1.0.0Do you live in the recesses of Trump’s Sphincter? Does Harlan Crow ring a bell?
@@AlwaysCrunchyNeverSoggy Certainly not. Trump is up there with Putin on my most hated, evil person list. And that is just after watching his dealings and behaviour in Britain long before he became president (I'm a Brit). Trumps pressure to not help Ukraine and let them die and the hands of Russia seals it. I'd never heard of Harlan Crow, it is claimed his republican donations are made out to be bribes. I guess I will never know the truth or otherwise of that. Anyway, I think we should should behave with decorum everywhere, never mind in court. Even online. Otherwise political debate devolves in insult and abuse and I start to worry about the future of civilisation. Sadly your post demonstrates the negative trend. Thanks.

I hope Judge Merchan throws the book at Don Poorleone, including contempt crimes, and sends him straight to the slammer, because he is a flight risk. Trump has a strong sense of entitlement, and thinks he can call the shots and run the show. He will most likely yell and curse at the judge, as he leaves the courtroom kicking and screaming. It’s funny how the man-child is emboldened when he steps onto the street, but doesn’t speak when he’s in the courtroom.
Actually, it isn't. If you have a real judge on the bench, he or she runs that room. I've been in a courtroom 3 times, as a witness. You learn very quickly who is in charge and act accordingly or suffer the consequences!
@@tanyafreemanglover4514 yeah, that witness for the defense, Costello found out real quick who's in charge in the courtroom- he came in playing the roll, and Merchan was having none of it...and it sunk Trump's entire defense
That's the typical COWARD!!
Like all bullies when they're cornered they punk up and whine,project,and lie,as they're dragged away screaming and crying.....
Totally agree. This scumbag is beyond the stench.
From the United Kingdom thank you Karen & Michael for helping us lay people better understand the court proceedings ❤🇬🇧
I bawled my eyes out the first time he was elected. Because I knew what it meant for the world my young children will be growing up in. I knew what it meant about how people would be empowered to treat other people. Hate and rudeness and willful ignorance is celebrated by Trump and maga. It used to be, at the very least, shameful to speak that way to others publicly. And now there is allowance and no consequences for being mean and rude and preaching dangerous hateful rhetoric. I hope for a world where we can be kind to each other even in the face of differences of opinion. A world where Trump is a leader of any kind will not allow that to happen.
The real question is will judge merchan lock baby don up if found guilty
I sure hope so. He is responsible for setting a precedent for the future.
considering the sentences the other have been getting it wouldn't surprise me if he only gets 30 days instead of years
Let’s hope so. Trump’s a** needs to be in jail cell.
Probably not. If anything it would be a suspended sentence.
I believe he doesn’t spend a day in jail! I wish he’d go to prison for a long time but the way he’s been handled up til now I just don’t see it. Kid gives is a perfect way to put it…it’s like the U.S doesn’t want to show the world what he is…a criminal! But, they need to get over it and make an example of him. If they don’t I can already see a carbon copy of him making an appearance soon! Lord help us!!
Lock him up!!
The judges now have to throw these delinquent lawyers and clients in the court jail with a fine to stop this abuse. Plus no more stall tactics
Fingers crossed for a find of guilty!!! Im curious if his time in the Whitehouse, after buying his way in office, could his presidency be stripped if he's found guilty???
Stripped of presidency is a great point but with the current SCOTUS who would guess ?
I wonder if his secret service protection would be revoked ?
That would be the nail in his coffin.
Hope so. In any sophisticated society. Apparently we so t got one. THOUGHT we had - enter Alito and Canon and their boss man 45.
Did you hear Rudy talking over the judge during his arraignment in Arizona today? Talk about your lack of decorum.
I don’t think Giuliani has full control of his faculties anymore; this is common in elderly alcoholics.

Giuliani thinks he's a god. He can get away with anything. He's taking his cue from diaper Don. After all they don't do anything to diaper Dan Let's hope he shares a cell with the 🍊 turd. Maybe they can be butt buddies. 🤣🍊🤡⏰
Giuliani thinks he's a god. He thinks he can get away with anything. He's taking his cue from diaper Don. Hopefully they can share us all together. Maybe they become really friendly. Putin do you like that?
Putin I can't talk truth about Giuliani. Or was it that he's taking a queue from the 🍊 turd?
We really appreciate the legal clarifications about the Trump trial.
Well, I don’t know what judge with give anyone “permission” to be in contempt 10 times. It’s sick how much he gets away with that NOBODY else can even come close to.
The judge is hopefully going to give 30 days per contempt charge to Trump at the sentencing consecutively to his real sentence
Good luck USA

Can you be clear - can a convicted felon become president? That is the important part. Second - are these charges, if guilty is returned, get a prison sentence?
The answer is, simply, yes. A convicted or imprisoned felon can not only campaign for president and other federal offices, but also be elected.
@@coolguyhino92 That needs to change.
But here's the rub -
if elected, can he actually perform the duties from behind bars?
I think not. Consider all the CIPA issues it would cause. Also, he cannot host dignitaries in prison, nor can he travel to other countries. And so many other duties he flat-out wouldn't be able to perform from behind bars.
Silver lining (?)...
(Taxpayers would save a mountain of cash from him not using AF-1 to bounce to all the trump golf courses every f-ing weekend. So much so that the 8 trillion he rung up last term might be recovered 😂)
yes unfortnately, the Constitutions says nothing about a candidate not being allowed to run for office or serve from prison.
Until now no president acted alike. What about the amendment „ no person can hold office who denied his oath to … the constitution?
The only solution for this is to vote overwhelmingly blue in order to have a vast majority in both the house and the senate.
By then decisions can be made to change all the inequalities in voting maps and others.
No change means the American dream turns into a nightmare.
Popok, can class action law suite be brought against Fox and other of these new stations lie to public . On election and and other lies they tell. How do we hold these station accountable??
In the hands of the jury. Vote GUILTY across the board!
Why is it appears that this fool is getting away with everything? Vote 💙💙💙
Biden should, by executive order, put Trump in prison. After all, if Trump gets in, he'll have President Biden thrown in jail. Put Trump in an undisclosed location without any communication.
I'm very glad to hear this. Guilty x 34.
He needs to be locked up. As an Irish man I really find it hard to understand why a country as large as America can be scared of one man. Get rid of him now. Lock him up. Any fall back will burn out within 4 weeks.
VOTE BLUE!!!🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💙💙💙💙💙💙
The north is watching with much apprehension
Commenting from Scotland I'd say the whole workd is watching with apprehension
@@carolinecampbell7542 you're part of the north i guess
Commenting from Australia - we down under are watching in horror. The whole world is in danger if demented diaper Donny gets in again. Pity so many millions of MAGAts can’t see the fascist terror coming their way.
Ukraine watches the trial and the presidential election. Their life,their country depends on it.
This was a very useful and enlightening episode. Thank you Karen and Popok!
I thought exactly the same. Can’t any defendant claim how trump has been treated as a precedent?
No. Precedent is a case law concept, to be recognized by Appellate courts in their decision making.
We ❤Karen so smart and beautiful. We learn so much from her analysis in easy to understand language.
*This is a HUGE win for the prosecutors* - Trump gets caught in a contradiction, having to show he wasn't attempting to commit tax fraud by classifying personal expenses as a business expense, AND claim it wasn't campaign related but purely out of concern with his personal reputation (contrary to the tax fraud excuse).
Jail Trump for 30 days straight time, no good time/ half time, for violation of gag order...
We all would like to spend our Memorial Day without having Trump be Me, me, me… That’s how he’s going to spend his Memorial Day.
LOCK TRUMP UP!
10 x 30
Yes 30 days times 11
He will love all the fan mail. Maybe he will start reading? No one will see him wearing cheaters in prison.
He might really enjoy that.

Thank you for the analogy to burglary and the prosecution thereof to heighten that crime to a felony. I hope that the prosecution makes it clear in summation.
It seems to me you cant use advice of counsel when you are working with the lawyer to break the law.
This non-unanimous jury judgement is good news
I had read that yesterday from Raw Story
Unfortunately it’s the out they get on appeal. Meanwhile Trump will stay out of prison.
The only resemblance I see bitween Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr. is ... almost everything.
Ivan’s reported that when he was born, DJT was upset with her for naming the baby after his father. The reason Trump was upset? “ What if he is a f-- up?”
True story and an incredibly sad commentary on his attitude toward parenting. It’s always all about his image… even his own baby son. Jr never had a chance to be normal.
There is one exception to me: Trump senior does not drink. He is drunk by his own perceived grandiosity.
@@AMunoz-rh9czYou as a parent can make sure your child becomes „ f…up“ by the way you are as a parent.
@@AMunoz-rh9cz You're right, that is totally Trumpian self-absorption. But maybe he thought that way because his own older brother, named after their father (Frank) was rejected by Dad because he wanted to be a pilot instead of a real estate grifter. So the son that was named after the father was the "f-- up" in that case. Not that Frank Jr. did anything wrong in becoming a pilot, but Frank Sr. despised him for not being what he wanted him to be and having the temerity to try to follow his own ambitions and interests. Donald was able to cash in on Frank Jr.'s "failure," but he saw how devastating it was to his brother to be disinherited and despised by their autocratic father, and how it ruined his life.
Sounds like a Yogi Berra quote (somebody up there likes it)
You two are absolutely terrific!! 💙
I have become so incredibly educated re: legal matters, during this most horrible time in Anerican History...
Thaks Guys! 💙💙
every time he says the judge is crooked and the trial is rigged, is contempt of court. Lock him up!
The DJT campaign will already be writing their fundraising email off of this....
Michael and Karen's truth talk and explanations help to give me sanity. With all of the insane news being thrown at us.
💙🙏🫶🌟🥰🎯
Felonious Trump
Very enlightening. Thank you.
Hopefully, people will notice that it gets you nowhere to act like that in and out of court.. 💯
Wake up America 💙💙💙. Thanks very much to you both for your expertise
He should have been held in contempt for his comments on the judge and the prosecutor, making them fair game was a huge mistake and a disservice to the legal system
Excellent analysis as always from two highly experienced professionals. No flailing, wailing or excess partisan rhetoric, just the basic facts clearly described. Thank you, both.
Time to reopen the insane asylums.
Guilty!!!! Straight to prison ASAP!!!!
Great news for America and democracy, bad news for denial Don
It's hard to say it wasn't politically motivated when you have half of Congress sitting on the second row. 😒
You know why the red tie brigade is there? Because they want to mask their fear because if the orange abomination is found guilty , he will drag them down with them.
That's why they are there
BS. Thugs don’t like law and order. They rebel when it is applied and do not take responsibility for their actions. They habitually characterize themselves as victims. That does not automatically render a criminal charge as “politically motivated.” Ted Bundy and Charles Manson both had supporters coming to court every day saying the exact same thing.
it's not politically motivated, it's just when the schedule for the trial opened up- this is thr same as whenEster and Trans day of visibility shared the same day..,, rit wasn't intntional, it just happened to work out that way.
Do you honestly believe Biden sat down and planned this out to get Trump off the campaign trail, and derail his campaign?! Come the hell on, the president could give two sh*ts about Trump or his campaign, hes trying to run a country and actually be productive
I think all that all that demonstrates is that the GOP have decided to politicise it.
2024 . VOTE OUT 2025.
