- In a stunning example of something you really don't want to put in writing, prosecutors presented emails from Trump defense witness Robert Costello that undercut his own testimony and credibility. Lisa Rubin and Suzanne Craig join Chris Hayes to discuss.

#DonaldTrump #RobertCostello #hushmoney
So Costello committed perjury. It would be nice to see him charged.
Costello claimed to represent Cohen but was planning to shield TFG. He should be disbarred, at a minimum and I hope Walter Nauta is taking notes
Unlikely to be prosecuted, as the jury is very unlikely to believe the lie after it was exposed on cross. If the jury believed him and the lie was only exposed after the verdict, that would be a different matter.
@@beeble2003 Doubt it. It can be a separate case after the fact, and probably will.
@@kriswingert1662 It would have to be a separate case, yes.
@@judithsaunders3634ggg CV. CB❤ DD
Costello committed perjury. He needs to be put in jail for that.
Perjury usually isn't prosecuted unless the jury believes the lie and it changes the verdict. In this case, the lie was immediately exposed, so it didn't corrupt the trial.
However, he is a lawyer and he lied when under oath ....
@@beeble2003that's not how it works lol
@@carlosharris8998 No, actually, it _is_ how it works. Think about it: most people who are tried are found guilty. That means that most defence witnesses are found to have lied. Most defence witnesses do not end up being charged with perjury.
@@beeble2003 You realise that you’re not necessarily lying just because you’re a witness for the loosing side, right?
The jury laughed at Costello, it 🤣 backfired on trump 😂
HOW??
When you drive a clown car, you have to expect that nothing but clowns, and lots of em, are gonna come out of it...

Should've called Abbott instead of Costello

😂 I used to love watching Abbott and Costello movies on Saturday afternoons
Ken Abbot and Robert Costello could have a podcast: Who’s IN First?
That’s a prison joke, kids.
Ha ha ha!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We're all glad that Merchan did NOT strike Costello's testimony. It's helped the prosecution immensely.
It kinda feels like he lied under oath about material facts, that feels like a crime...
@@TruthOnly24Yes, but if testimony is stricken, you’re not allowed to factor it into your deliberations.
May law, and order return to the land...
@@TruthOnly24May God do justice. 11: 13 pm. Final comment
@@Thepopcornator But; lest anyone forget and like my retired Deputy District Attorney brother mentioned often post-trial, specifically regarding "stricken testimony": "Human beings are fallible despite their best intentions as a jury member.". Judge Merchan was correct in not striking Costello's sworn testimony, and the Defense team should thank Judge Merchan for NOT embarrasing them by "disregarding the testimony of their star witness Costello.".

🗽💙🌊🗽
@nioniamoran155 nah the tooth fairy😒
NO. ON THE CONTRARY HE'S SPINELESS! HE WOULD'NT ALLOW SOME WITNESSES TO EVEN TESTIFY ON TRUMPS DEFENSE. HE'S ALSO EXTREMELY BIASED TYPICAL FOR DEMS.
Habba, Cannon, and Costello are proof that anyone can get a law license. 😅
Isn't it insane? The lawyers I know IRL are very intelligent and capable people. One of them showed me her LSAT study book, and I literally could not understand any of it. If you actually get into law school, it's crazy expensive and requires a great deal of self-discipline... The math ain't mathing with these douchewaffles.
And Powell
you are way off base......... cohen went to cooley law school in Michigan...........determined to be WORST law school in whole USA
Maybe Giuliani was smarter back when he was in law school, but even if it were legally allowed, I doubt he could pass the LSAT now.
Don’t forget Barret
Glad Costello wasn't removed yesterday, never would've seen those emails todays. Record NOT stricken!
The emails don’t prove anything.
I'd bet that's why Costello was acting the way he did. He knew the prosecution had those email's
@@budman4224 did he know though, if so he would have told defense that wouldn't he? Then they wouldn't call him. VERY hard to put the pin back in after the grenade explodes, lol.
@@fifiwoof1969 Blanche knew the prosecution had those emails. It had to be part of discovery or else they couldn't have been used in court. I don't know if it's true, but Blanche reportedly didn't want to call Costello. He only did because Trump insisted
@@fifiwoof1969
Yeah, it's not plausible, is it?
We're to understand that Costello vehemently WANTED to testify. He was full of fire and brimstone. He was, to put it plainly, irrationally confident of his own rhetorical abilities. And evidently he convinced Donald Trump, a person of similar convictions.
So no, he wasn't reluctant about testifying, far from it. He wasn't looking for an escape hatch to save himself from immortal embarrassment. He was ready to go down in history as the star witness who, at the eleventh hour, would exonerate the criminal defendant Donald Trump and make his own name in the pantheon of the new order.
But that's not, in fact, what happened. Because reality caught up with these miserable wicked sycophantic lying conspirators. And Costello, far from making Trump look innocent, firmly and credibly and with specificity established his guilt, his intentional involvement in a deception.
Isn't that the correct account of events?
The court sketch artist actually did a better job than the defense
Truth!
Great observation! You are so right!
You people on the left are so clueless and corrupt, Costello is the only believable witness. People on the left believe more a perjurer and a prostitute than a person that has a good reputation.
This are fake news, all this people were spewing lies, I can’t believe they are so desperate to tell lies to their viewers.
Lol Hayes is soooo TDS.
Totally hilarious. Will be used as an example of how to exactly NOT defend your client
cohen was the prosecutions star witness.
@@kelperdude Yeah, and Cohen cooked Trump.
@@kelperdude You would have thought so, wouldn't you?... But it turns out to be Costello was the prosecution's star witness. 😂😂
@@kelperdudeif you think that then you have no idea how trials work. Cohen was only a corroborating witness..... the stars were the ones proving the signed checks documentation
You people are brainwashed ! Trump is walking on this BS
I was proud of Michael Cohen for being polite and telling the truth. He admitted to his wrong doings. His comeback on the defense was epic!!
Proud of Cohen? The guy who stole $60,000 from Trump? Cohen is a proven liar and thief. But I'm sure it is a comfort to him that you are proud of him.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤮
costello was a huge gift to the prosecution - he clearly defines the link between cohen and trump and rudypoo
♥️♥️♥️
Not being funny, but can you explain why that link is important, to this case.
@@walk6932 it proves trump was directing the people involved, costello, rudy, to manipulate Cohen and to keep him from testifying or flipping. It FAILED and now costello has provided the linkage to trump.
@@walk6932 It backs up the paper trail and validated the texts. It basically proved Cohen wasn't lying about the events. It was a huge boon to the prosecution.
@@afry6400 thanks for that, but i don't see that about Cohen not lying. We know he was brought in to say Cohen told him Trump didn't know about the payments, and didn't Cohen say he lied to Costello when he had said that because he didn't trust him. Not sure what that means.
But what was the point of the prosecutors tie-ing him down on emails and texts and meetings that Trump used him to get Cohen not to cooperate. Not earth shattering really.
There's more storey about his antics to the judge than what actually was revealed, do you know anything other , it hard to find the transcript in full
So i'm still not sure what the relevance is.
One could say 'backfired' is an understatement 🍿👀
What word would you use instead?
@@matthewmoore7447 Train Wreck
On a thermonuclear scale, at that...
Were I on the prosecution team, I would be thanking the defense team for bringing out this mobster.
Bragg should send Costello a box of cigars and a case of champagne.
They will be happy for the distraction of their own star witness.
They probably called the nursing home. . .
Likewise.
Interesting
Costello desperately wanted to destroy Cohen but ended up strengthening the government's case!
The case is such an embarrassment for the judge, prosecution and the city.
That's what you get when your friends with a Mob Mouthpiece!
He was auditioning. AG Costello or personal attorney to the President. But trump won't win. So, sadly, all for noting.
It's a good thing trumpy is in the prosecution's corner @@kelperdude!
Yea, the republicans aren't very bright, especially these orange stain attorneys.

@@kelperdude your do-nothing Republican party has failed at legislation. They've gotten NOTHING passed in Congress for over a year.
Judge Merchan is a HERO for his dedication to 🗽 LAW and ORDER and to our 🇺🇸 COUNTRY.
His was running defense for the prosecution, there is records of him getting bribes, oh I mean donations from the dnc
I'm innocent, but I won't testify in my own defence, lol
I'm innocent, but I want to delay, delay, delay, delay and so on and so on. 😂😂😂
Most innocent people don't testify in their own defence. Waiving the fifth amendment is considered by most defence lawyers to be a bad idea.
It's only notable for Trump because he always claims he's going to testify or spuriously claims he's not allowed to. He does the same in civil trials and he did the same in his impeachment a and other congressional enquiries.
I'm posting on you tube but can't spell defense

Age. When T****, called on him, he should have asked T****, "You do know how old I am now ?".

I dont live in USA, but when i read news from USA, then i am sure that the media in USA is the king of fake news. Do you really belive this bs from NBC. How stupid can people in USA be. You have Joe Biden as a president and you are happy.
Is it possible that the defence cannot defend the indefensible?
Sometimes your attorney can only provide you with the best possible defense, not a winning defense. Trump doesn't have either.
Good point!
That will NEVER stop trump lawyers. They get paid exactly to do that.
Well, since there was no actual crime you are technically correct as you cannot defend against no charges.
You cannot be a Trump supporter AND a moral human being.
Or an American Patriot -- that is for good honest Americans not traitor magats.
Not true. I am both. There, I just debunked your myth.
You can’t be a Biden supporter AND a moral human being. You see, everyone can have an opinion.

@@WinstonSmith24 Evidence. ta.
Thank you Trump for putting Costello on the witness stand. He just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
Thank you for admitting that there is no evidence of a crime
@@kenc7120it’s just an expression, and while it may be true that a victory might be possible, that does not mean the case doesn’t have merit. The only reason Trump might not lose was the fact that Cohen is a certified liar; except in this case, he’s not lying, and Costello just made Cohen look saner and seem more believable.
No, not really.
So what do the red tie Republicans have to say for 45 supporting Costello and Costello did him in thanks
@@kenc7120 which part of the defense refuted the fraudulent documents and conspiracy to defraud voters?
Its hilarious the defense witnesses did what the defense hoped Cohen would do 😂😂😂😂😂😂
As usual, every republican accusation is a confession.
Trump and his lawyers are desperate...their plan has always been to make a mockery of the trial. Trump's attempts have always been to cast doubt on the justice system, and all institutions that represent democracy in our country.
Michael Cohen came through, this is good, definitely for a Conviction I must profess
Do you not understand what cohen did????
Admitted to stealing money and lying?
It's funny that he preformed in the way THEY thought Cohen was supposed to act!! I guess the JOKE'S on them!!!
Cohen admitted to lying and stealing from Trump and y’all think he was a great witness. 🤣
I know, right?!? 🤭🤣
The GOP/MAGA was banking on Cohen to have a meltdown on the witness stand!
Who would ever think another lawyer as a witness for the defense would not only have a teenage rebellious meltdown but royally ruin his own character.
Costello 's behavior proved Cohen's statement about Costello 's character.
VOTE BLUE 🇺🇸💙💙🇺🇸
Michael should be reinstated
@jorgegonzalez - No, he committed crimes that he was jailed for. It came during this trial that he stole $30k (?) from the Trump Organisation. He’s rehabilitated himself very well from being Donald’s right hand, but he shouldn’t be a lawyer any more.
So arrogant.
Trump couldn’t even take the stand to put up his own defense.
How feckless and pathetic.
When the witnesses against you are someone who stole from you and someone else that thinks she talks to demons, why would you bother?

Costello is not a very good lawyer if he didn't expect to get questions they already knew the answer to. The best part is Costello represented his pal Giuliani and he stiffed him on the bill.
Another GRADUATE of TRUMP UNIVERSITY!!!
Costello is like all the other "lawyers" Chump has hired, he only hires them if they went through the Trump school of alternative universe law. not REAL law. He is a complete JOKE and I hope he gets contempt or just thrown in jail for lying under oath.

The only reason why Costello wanted to be Cohen's lawyer was for Costello to keep tabs on Cohen for Donald and Rudy. That much is clear from Costello's emails.😳
10 points and five stars to Michael Cohen's family for their intervention that got Michael out finally from the Trump cult
They must be proud of their lying thief father.
I taught teenagers for many years. I chuckled when I heard "are you giving me side-eye now"?? Man, I know what you mean!
Judge Merchan has just HAD IT with the Trump circus and the clowns...
Everyone else is lying, but when Trump's chance to tell the truth arrives - he takes the 5th...
Or won't testify
That fact that Wasserman wrote the plan how to do the payments as side notes.. is evidence right there !
Didn't Costello commit perjury when he was proven to have lied about not telling Cohen about his own connection to Rudy? Right?
Perjury is rarely prosecuted unless it changes the course of the trial. If a witness lies and the jury doesn't believe the lie (either on their own or because it's shown to be a lie on cross), it's usually not worth prosecuting.
If Judge Merchan had struck Castello's testimony off the record, he would have done TFG a HUGE favour. The prosecution would have objected to it.

He wants the attention, right? He's a narcissist first and foremost.
That weird thing he said about Hannibal Lecter? I know he was probably just trying to build to a tasteless joke, but it's a kind of confession in its own right as well. He's reminding us that tasteless jokes are just fine with him, that this sort of behavior is exactly what he considers presidential.
I don't say that he admires Hannibal Lecter. But he doesn't have a problem with him. And I definitely have a problem with that.
He can keep his rap sheet up in a display case together with the fake golf trophies he cheated in order to 'win'.
I LOVE that Courtroom sketch and the artist who drew it! Costello giving the Judge "side-eye", which he SURELY regretted soon afterward!! 😂🤣😂
What an embarrassment
Putting Costello on the stand was an own-goal by the defense. I hope it's enough for the jury to completely disregard the defense, but all the defense needs is one juror to cause a mistrial.
Like Cohen and Stormy😂😂😂
this judge is so biased against Trump. He wouldn't let the defense explain why there is no crime nor call a witness who is an expert on campaign law. This is political persecution
Yeah. Mistrials are common when dealing with organized crime justice. Threats, bribes, etc. if there is a mistrial, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if something nefarious went on to cause it.
Sadly this is true. Trump has never accounted for anything his whole life.
The best words ever: 'The People rest your Honour`! and 'The people are ready your Hunour !'
It is the people who took the 'Orange Turd' or 'Stable Gineus' to court and not the DA !

There's an interesting series on Netflix, British, called "Bodies'. Science fiction.
A crucial phrase in the whole series is:"Know you are loved".
Without spoiling things too much, bad things can happen after someone says that.
An email ending in "you are loved", that's almost as clear as a kiss of death. Michael Corleone kissing his brother Fredo on the mouth.That didn't end well for Freddie.
These people are nasty. I mean Trump, and all his minions. Awful people.
That email was a bare faced threat.
Putting Costello on the stand turned out to be incredibly stupid, but at least they didn't do something even dumber, like putting Trump on the stand. He would have been the prosecutors' star witness against himself.
Thanks Chris!✌️
Trump to his supporters, Fox News, Newsmax: "It was the greatest injustice in history. I wasn't allowed to testify."
Cnn is saying the same thing. And ABC. So apparently only MSNBC is still trying to defend this trial. Echo chamber
You love to hear it. We're so close to getting him this time. We can only hope that it isn't too late to save our democracy.
A jury of average Americans will "get him," or not. Of course, you Trumpists don't believe in law and order, so...
A jury of average Americans will decide Trump's fate.

Regardless of the crappy defense.. Jurors only have to have reasonable doubt..I hope they find him guilty of all charges

I hope trump is found guilty and goes to prison.
