The hypocrisy of whining about being "gagged" and then not testifying on your own behalf!
An astute observation... exactly.
@@wesleyc.4937 Only if the jury are 12 die hard partisans and stupid, will Trump be convicted. Cohen just bombed the whole case up, and showed the prosecutors to be incompetent and corrupt. Not just stealing money. But stole from the same pool of money that the prosecutors claim Trump approved!!!! The case is done!!
Finally we have a crime and a victim. The crime? Grand larceny. The victim? Trump. Who did that? Cohen.
Donald abandoned his right to speedy justice by using endless delay tactics. Surely the actions of an innocent person.
Particularly from someone who ALWAYS has something to say about anything and everything.
HUMPTY TRUMPTY has said "there is no case" ....how many times?
If there is no case, why was $130,000 paid out to Daniels. This number started out at $155,000. Very confusing ....but regardless ......why was the $130,000 needed in the first place? Why did Cohen and Trumpty talking about about the $130,000 so much?
I hope the jury gets this unanimously right.

I thought Stinky was eager to testify? Just another Stinky lie.

Not shocking at all. No testifying, just lots of crying to anyone who will listen.

He’s a guilty coward
Who told you that, the propagandists outlets?
The truest words ever spoken!
@@russell-hj6kpThe evidence..
If he's so innocent and there's no crime, why was he afraid to testify under oath??
Donald J Trump clear and simple he is guilty and he knows😮
Because he won the case without the effort
Guilty
Should Michael Cohen be held accountable for stealing from Trump?
What's the crime ?
Lock Him UP!!
You guys have a terrible track record with that. Would you bet money on it?
@uf9309, sure, I'll bet with you. And your reference to the LOCK HIM UP statement is laughable since that WAS adolphs phrase, hilarious how its now turned back on him. Every assertion is a confession in trump world.
Thanks Vladimir
Why swear to tell the truth in a court of law when you can swear and lie on Truth Social?
Guilty on all charges!!!
The walls are closing in right 😂
What crimes? Scholars can't find any

@melanyblake1470 Ah yes, all the scholars Trump made up in his mind. 🙃
@@rivermistfae explain to me why all these case fall apart ? Besides the fbi tampering with evidence or the DA misusing over 2.5 million dollars ? Why can’t you guys get a conviction 🤔
Defense called 2 witnesses people. The first was lame, the second was a joke.
Their witnesses wish list were called by prosecutors and helped Trump. Only if the jury are 12 die hard partisans and stupid, will Trump be convicted.

Defendant Trump doesn't have the cojones to repeat what he says outside the courtroom on the stand in court without pleading the fifth.

also. If he opens his mouth, a lie comes out.
He doesn’t need to take the stand there wasn’t ever any case

Why did this case go on for weeks and the defense rest after a single morning ? Just like every other case it fell apart , did boost his poll numbers though 😂
After what he saw yesterday, there was no way he was going to take the stand and get ripped apart by the prosecution. Sure, he might get some of his political speech, but that would be shut down by the Judge. So, he was true to form, all mouth.

Considering there's several more trials to go, I will be so happy when this whole mess is finally over with. Guilty As Charged.
So, the defense rests following the absolute lowest moment in their case ... Epic. 🤣🤣
And the defense Never mentioned the $130K ever… soooo WHY was he reimbursed with extras 🤔 Why did trump sign ALL those checkksssss.🤷🏽♀️
It’s incredible how misinformed you are after a month of this trial. Reimbursement is not a crime. NDA is not a crime nor the stupid prosecutors are charging these as crimes. It’s the business records. Only if the jury are 12 die hard partisans and stupid, will Trump be convicted. Cohen just bombed the whole case up, and showed the prosecutors to be incompetent and corrupt. Not just stealing money. But stole from the same pool of money that the prosecutors claim Trump approved!!!! The case is done!!

I can’t believe the defense forgot to call their star witness - Donald J Trump! How, how is that possible after he said he wanted to testify? Now people will suggest he’s a coward, and that he was afraid he’d be caught in multiple lies. What was his defense team thinking, and how was Trump not able to overrule them? Now I have all this unpopped popcorn. I was soooo ready for the Orange Truthteller.
Wow you mean to tell me Mr Honest decided not to testify after proclaiming how innocent he was? Even after his "fixer" spent 16+ hours in the box? Maybe he didn't have enough depends on hand.
They didnt call him because he would have been the best witness for the prosecution.We called Trump a coward a long time ago.We didnt need a trial for that!
🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔
Donald Trump insisted his hire gun witness mouthpiece Robert Castello to testify. That was Trump testifying making a scene and assault the judge creating a reality show circus. What does he know except to create chaos?
is trump going to pay his attorneys this time 🤔
Hell, No!
Soon as stormy gives him the 400k she still owes him 😂
He always has. Fake news lies.
@@melanyblake1470not according to his attorneys

@@D.A.OhK. Call him former or just call him trump. Most know him as the orange man
He is all talk, he never planned on taking the stand, it’s what he does, tells his followers something like he’s a tough guy and then comes up with excuses because he knows he’s coward….
🔒 JAIL STEVE BANNON NOW 🔒
Trump thought hiring someone to repeat his story with no corroboration is enough defense?
Remember that Trump is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Not the brightest bulb... It seems to make sense to him.

Motor mouth has nothing to say under oath but plenty to say outside of court!
Did the same thing in the civil case with caroll. That turned ok for him right? Not participating in a defense is always a bad defense.
Costello was the DAs best witness.
By saying cohen did this on his own ?

Donald Trump is guilty. Send him to 50 years imprisonment
I can't do the math, but it is 34x4 years
he'll be found guilty all right, but he's not going to prison. there is no mandatory minimum incarceration for these crimes, and the defendant has no prior record. white collar first-time offenders don't go to prison for business record fraud and politicians don't go to prison for duping voters.
Highway litter cleanup and community service, with no social media privileges
You are insane. Did you listen to any of it?
This case fell apart just like the rest of them 😂😂 but it did help his poll numbers so thanks 😂😂
Of course he didn’t testify. His earlier statements were just more of his bravado and lies.
Credibility issues are not just for Cohen and Daniels. It also matters if the jury thinks the defense is lying.
Putting up a witness who gets busted lying more than once in short order is not a good look, especially when it is the only witness they called.
Forget about Stormy! She has nothing to help the jury with. But Cohen? Boy oh boy! …… Only if the jury are 12 die hard partisans and stupid, will Trump be convicted. Cohen just bombed the whole case up, and showed the prosecutors to be incompetent and corrupt. Not just stealing money.

The court officials are there because the red tie rockettes did not respect the request to clear the courtroom. Yesterday, 1 or 2 couldn't clear the room alone. If needed to, 10 can carry the red tie djt crew off to the cells.
CONVICT,CONVICT,CONVICT!!!!👽👽👽flaco😊
I bet he can't wait to start running his mouth again when the gag order ceases to be in effect. Should be quite a show
It wouldn't matter
U people are forgetting something very important, there r 3 jurors on the panel, they will be able to understand it quite easily, stop underestimating the intelligence of these people and others, they are not uneducated people, they have a very strong panel of people!

Yay I hope they put them in the big house not the White House
The Defense has rested it's case, and now I'm sure the former President is in full panic mode as he realizes that his fate will soon be determined and accountability for crimes applied!
I wonder if he will enjoy the holiday dedicated to the people he called suckers and losers.

Rot in jail!
This crime is a whole lot more than just a "paperwork error".
It's a shame for the American people to have a disgrace to Donald Trump for putting him back in the white house . America stands for our democracy. Not to a dictator to be.
Lol its so obvious by now
THAT COWARD WAS NOT GOING TO TESTIFY.
Testify? That compulsive, repulsive liar? I'm sure his lawyers strongly warned him off that course.
Everything Trump gets involved in becomes a damm circus completely out of control
😂😂😂
Good, now jail that thing!
The Judge also retains the purview to override the Jury decision.
Costello did not just sigh he exclaimed "Jeez" and "strike that" as well as his eye rolls and other expressions. The judge reminded him that it is only the judge that can "strike" words from the record and that Costello was on a warning for contempt of court.
Defense Team rests. The defense never STARTED!🤣🤣
Is 'back channel' a euphemism for a certain type of person? Seems to fit.
I think it's a not so honest way of doing things.
Big yawn there. Trump is not testifying.
These people have no shame 👿 🤢
Yes the GOP
When he testifies in any of his criminal cases, pigs will be flying everywhere
Thank U, ladies
Not much of a Defense, that was quick,, .. imagine that..😅
Could he be any more of an embarrassment ? Of course, I'll testify, then does he testify, no. Again, the lies.
One shyster lawyer can figure out the moves of another shyster lawyer. It was a game that Costello and Giuliani thought they could run against Cohen. Fail.
Rudy Giuliani is up the creek without a paddle right now. He's got to go to Arizona to be booked and pay his $10,000 bail within 10 days. 😂😂😂

Two sentences, and both grammatically incorrect.

What happened to TrumO's bravado? He should definitely testify.
You are not using the right phrasing is correct. Call it out as it is. Thank GOD I don’t feel the jury is stupid. I think like me you underestimate the jury.
Both the anchors on this segment are very poor at asking questions they seemed disheveled and not prepared. Do better CBS!
HUMPTY TRUMPTY has said "there is no case" ....how many time?
If there is no case, why was $130,000 paid out to Daniels. This number started out at $155,000. Very confusing ....but regardless ......why was the $130,000 needed in the first place? Why did Cohen and Trumpty talking about about the $130,000 so much?

Wow this is the worse analysis of this trial I have heard. No more CBS.
Sorry they didn’t tell you what you want to hear. Bye-bye.
Not...a Mystery...
We All....know...

It's not complicated trump the stable genius had it all figured out
I see what
Coen had no stake in paying off Ms Daniels
Guilty, guilty, guilty but sadly, this lying criminal corrupt con will never see inside of a prison cell.

SCOTUS can figure out these in the tank biased judges biased decisions.
THE WITNESS LACK RESPECT!!!
this case is completely winnable. And it is not a subpar case as you guys want to make it be.
🎀 100% GUARANTEED -- They ain't resting. They're already drafting their appeal.
If Trump is found Guilty, he can be jailed until Sentencing and pending an Appeal. Filing an Appeal is not a ticket to stay out of Jail 😮
political persecution
If Cohen said these lies it is up to Trum to say the real truth....Trum be a man about it take the stand
Gonna be alot of tears pouring.
Trump will regret not taking the stand..
What a coward,
Uh, trump will not testify? Disappointing...
GUILTY! LOCK HIM UP!
Why dont Trump just pay Allen Weisselberg to take the blame? Weisselberg just need to say he make all the unlawful payment without Trump.
Trump signed the Checks, not Alan Weisselberg
CZcams is doing the 💩
I hope it isn't a complete and total exoneration.
Why would it be.
Trump will claim that no matter what, just as he's lied every other time he's NOT been exonerated.
