#MSNBC #Trump #hushmoney
I’m am soooo TIRED of seeing the traitors face and hearing his lies.
Simple Donald. Take the stand and refute all allegations under oath, like you promised to do many times.
Trump already admitted his staff listed legal expenses as "legal expenses" which of course is perfectly legal - LOL
He’d be ushered off to jail on perjury charges within 20 seconds of his testimony. I don’t think could tell the truth if he tried.
Amazing how he shoots his mouth off and claims he is being gagged but won't subject himself to cross examination after he testifies in court.
@@johndaniels651WOW....you mean that you deduced this while all the lawyers, Judges, & other legal professionals all missed????
That's amazing....if he somehow magically gets elected again, then trump should make you his Attorney General...! ! !
You are an Attorney, aren't you????
No...??
That's what I thought 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jeffanon1772 No victim.. No articulable "crime" Trump walks! Like he's walking on all the other cases! LOL
Hey Trump, how about take the stand to make America great again, instead of talking bs?
All he has is BS.
@@selftaopath absolutely! He’s nothing but a snake salesman aka mob boss.
He’s still not in jail.
I have it on very good legal authority that Chrump taking the stand would surely render a guilty verdict. He's a terrible client and an even worse witness.
You're in a cult. You need to be de-programmed. 💤
Too much of a coward. Gutless windbag
He scared of going to jail because he’s know he’s guilty of his crimes
There is no question that the United States is in much better shape as a country right now with Biden as the president than it was when Trump was president.
We agree. Question is why is Trump leading in many of the swing states? Are people that stupid to think that Trump will make things better? Personally, I think things are great now but am becoming sick and tired of horse race every four years. I look forward to moving out of the country later this year.

@@kennixox262 i know, right? Crazy.
Idk how the polls are being taken lately. I heard reports polls as aren't able to get good results

Hillary was ahead in 11 battleground states.
It's really too close to call the race for anyone.
Biden is NOT the president. Big O is.
Lock Him Up Already…🤮
For what?
@@drowningpooralice5505 for any one of the 88 felonies he's charged with.
@@mytruecrimelibraryyou don't lock people up for what they've been charged with, you lock them up for what they've been convicted of.
@@stevehernandez1357 yup and Trump is getting his due process 🙂
@@mytruecrimelibrary exactly, so it has to run its course before someone gets locked up right?
The United States currently has a strong military and a booming economy right now with Biden as president than it did when Trump was president.
Troll much?
I agree but I will vote Biden for his calm and lack of chaos.
@@muddywater4505fluff for trump much? 🤡
Trump and his administration were too busy accommodating the 1% and planning an insurrection.
Under trump, all the TRUMPS got rich
how ANY of the GOP can support this less than a man is just mind boggling. Please tell me why?
Because the deep state is a global terrorist organization.
It took years to get that Nixon smell off republicans.
I don't think the tRump STENCH will ever come out.
Because people think they can get riches or powerful jobs by supporting trump. There can be no other explanation for supporting a liar criminal immoral jerk like trump.
He even looks like he has got dementia
Register for vote. Be sure you are registered. Go vote blue 💙 up and down the ballot.
Why both directions?
@@kenc7120 why not?
No need to vote. The DNC already have 10million ballots ready.
Smart and Trump doesn't belong in the same sentence!!!
He's not smart; he's cunning.
🍊⚖
Many Women🙋🇱🇷 will vote for our🧢President Biden💙in 2024.
I agree. Trump has shown again and again that he has no respect for women, even his wife. He only cares about himself.
Sociopath!
Please, I am 77 yes old, but I believe with my whole heart that if we allow the Republicans to take away a woman's right to decide about her own body, we will lose so much more . .......Republicans have made it plain they want woman at home cooking and cleaning, but then WHO supports us when they walk out to be with a younger woman ?
Count on Trump to do *something* "smart", and you'll be disappointed.
Wishful thinking.
The best thing Trump ever did was make sure Hillary would never be elected to anything ever again! LOL
Remain silent, pretend to abide by the gag order, and deny everything after the trial.
You, Trump's followers will believe anything coming out of his mouth any way.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tell me about Trump ???? Come on, you want to.
@@johndaniels651 She wouldn't have crashed the economy like he did.
@@johndaniels651 neither will Trump. He's going to lose AGAIN in November.
Dump the trump

STOP SAY THAT THINGS

Thank you for your relentless reporting. I have been able to follow the Trump case from Australia. I hope the Americans will make the right choice, vote Trump out so that he can be prosecuted according to justice and common sense.
Get a life.

@@kenc7120 Lol. Trump said he will be dictator ON day one. He is lying as we know it will be FROM day one.

You mean like your mom?
@johndaniels651 c'mon, you can do better! 😂

Who Donnie?
You jelly buds because Donald Trump will be taking the white house once again 😅
@lilfishbigsea007 Maybe in your upside down land . Reality is your big orange crim is in deep doo doo.
@@lilfishbigsea007Sorry to pop your little bubble but we the majority don't want a serial crook in the Whitehouse.
Orange Jesus for gravel pit 2024.
As Trump stated he will testify, I am waiting for that lie to become the truth.
Thank you Rachel Maddow for providing backup to the Michael Cohen story. He’s such a contol freak with his personal finances
HE NEEDS ALL THE BS BACKUP HE CAN GET BECAUSE ALL HE HAS IS HIS WORD
@@MasterBlaster-pe5os really?..so recordings and documents is nothing? Gotcha
@@MasterBlaster-pe5oshe has more motivation to tell the truth than the ORANGE TURD.
@@itsknotmagic He will just say it's AI. Luckily numerous other people have documents and recordings to prove him a liar.
The smart thing Trump probably won’t do is concede. He lives and breathes failure.
You are not America heero you say dumb things and president trump win 2020
Very well said
Except when it comes to justice... it's way overdue now 🙏
Why are people upvoting, “the smart thing trump probably won’t do is concede.”?
You people really think it’s smart for trump not to concede if he loses? lol what is even going on?!
@@Shadowman-1960Is this a Q threat?
THE LOOP REPEATS!
Habba has now been demoted on Fox as a "Trump Spokeswoman". 🤣
Now she is being edged out like Bobb, Giuliani, Cobb, Barr, and also Cohen.
Bobb, Cobb, Habba...sounds like a chewing gum commercial...
Hubba's nowhere near competent enough to deal with a trial likes of this one going on now....
Keeping her onside... prevent the wrath of another woman scorned....
@@alden1132 Habba Bobba?
@@alden1132 chewing gum commercial 😂😂😂
You don't know. All along, Alina Habba has been both Trumps' lawyer and a spokesperson. That way, commenting on legal cases, she could talk as a lawyer to be legal and tell Trump lies as a spokesperson. She wasn't the only one.
NO MORE TRUMP!!!!!!
We can all hope
after trump its trump jr! nationalism is here to stay!
@@MasterBlaster-pe5os lol no. Maga fascism is NOT POPULAR
Wow! The picture of trump that was shown here is amazing. He looks hammered! I almost feel sorry for him ... almost. But I'm over it!!
The grinch who stole documents
Stole documents and didn't face any consequences.
Now that you mention it, Biden does look like a Grinch.
Biden had his own notes from meetings. And returned them.
Trump stored dozens of boxes in a Mara Lago bathroom and lied about returning them.
biden?
@@selftaopathexcept for being arrested and charged 😂
Trump must have thousands of non-disclosure agreements in effect. He made anyone who worked for him or entered into business arrangements with him sign one. Are these NDA's enforceable in perpetuity, or do they dissolve upon Donnie's death? Trump is elderly. I am imagining all the books that might come out after his demise.
The word Trump and smart are polar opposite.
These trump trials are doing a vitally excellent job in exposing/explaining the two-tier justice system to those still yet to realise. The world is watching 🇬🇧⚖️💙
Clown
If you did nothing wrong you can easily prove it and that's why he won't take the stand.
I love it when my three favourite MSNBC hosts get together round the table.
My first thought was , why if trump is so smart why is he being so stupid .
Six bankruptcies is one's first clue to Trump's intellectual capacity..
FJB is smarter. 10% without lifting a finger
Clever and wily. But not so smart.
Lets see, so far he's disabled every case against him, and this one is now going down in flames also! Trump can't be that stupid! He's brighter than all the DA's who can't make anything stick! HA!
Sly, not intelligent.
Think about the FACT that this is regarding the Republican nominee for President of the United States :
“ The smart thing Trump probably won’t do IN HIS NEXT CRIMINAL TRIAL “ FULL STOP!
It is distressing. I tweeted about it today. It has bern distressing since the Access Hollywood bluster.
It took years to get that Nixon smell off republicans.
I don't think the tRump STENCH will ever come out.
You don't normally see the words 'smart' and Trump in a sentence!
Not a common occurrence.
Is it shutting his mouth?
I wish I was Mike Pence's ''fly'' and was in the room when tRUMP said ''Stormy honey bunch, you remind me of my daughter, Ivanka.''
80,000 supporters at Trump's Jersey shore rally (Let that sink in)

Trump's campaign donations certainly don't correspond to your exaggerated post grandma.
Biden is out raising Trump BIGLY grandma.
Lisa Rubin is my girl 🥰😊
What a surprise. A sleasy gossip magazine decides to back Trump. Who would have thought? /endsarcasm.
The thumb nail on this catches his exact moment of madness!!!
Can not wait to never ever hear Trumps name again UGH!
Man, I wish that most voters paid attention to the nuance here.
Sorry but I believe most Americans are ignorant.
As long as the twelve people on the jury are paying attention that is main thing that matters.
Check because you can't cancel cash and cash won't bounce!
Interesting panel discussion tonight, but sometimes the crime really is that straightforward and unequivocal.
Wish i could of seen Trump's reaction when the tape was played in court. 😂😂
What if he has to pay for so many peoples silence that he is now broke?
That would explain the bail/ the selling of sneakers/potentially selling documents/and not paying his lawyers.
By the sounds of it he would also be the first person to know.
Most of the time Trump makes his complaints known to the poorly educated and they take care of the rest. 😬
👍 MSNBC panel 👍
Thanks Rachel for your all your reporting as always keep up the amazing work!!❤
Yes, she is great!!!
Dozy Don is amoral.
Who believes, other payments to cover up various criminal activity aren't going to come to light in the coming years.
I do.
Clearly Donald paying anyone anything for any reason had only ever happened once.
His hair is an absolute mess in that thumbnail 😂😂😂‼️
His hair is always a mess, really ugly.
They've got him this time.
For sure.
This is the first criminal trial. What do you mean "this time?"
They won't have him till the lock on the cell door clicks behind him. Even if he's found guilty there will be lots of appeals etc. Jail is a long way off still.
@@TheBrothergreen aren't you kind of tired about hearing that Donald J Trump is the cause of everything evil in the world?
Straight to jail! Appeal in Jail only!
What size orange overalls would you like Donnie?
XXL to accommodate his diaper.😂😂😂
One that fits 6.3’ and 215Lbs
Good show ❤
OMG, normally they use funny thumbnail images of Trump for these videos but this one was the funniest ever! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wonder what excuse he is going to come up with to avoid putting his hand on the Bible. I wanted to but my lawyers wouldn't let me.
With the amount of sulphur Trump brings into the courtroom, they probably should not let him touch the Bible...the place would blow!
There getting his cell ready, no fluffy teddy bear or safety blanket!

Isn't recording someone without their knowledge inadmissible?
No
Lawyers do it to protect themselves and it's always done by smart lawyers!
Smart but won't do it? Sit down, shut up, and stop digging his hole deeper.
Stop giving them way to escape
Why are the media giving the courts and lawyers ideas on how to try a case.??
I love how the only time Trump responds to Cohen is to ask "WHAT FINANCING?" lol.
I wish MSNBC didn’t post this. You are giving Trumps lawyers ammunition.
I love how this is all about a few hundred thousand dollars that i could pay out of my own bank account!
If you get nothing else from this, remember that rich people stay rich by NOT spending money!
Even so, it isn't the amount or the source of the money at issue. Doesn't matter where it came from. What matters is that it was not reported to the FEC and it was misreported to the taxing authority as legal expense, not a settlement, not "for services rendered".
That’s why undisclosed recording is needed to preserve your professional integrity.
Most are freaking Trumpers or down right crooks!
Wah wah wah lunchroom lawyer
You know us, Americans spend $100,000 to purchase a house (down payment for a home) but here, just shut a girl up. A different world.

Is being unable to tell the truth a psychological affliction? In that case, we have found patient zero.
Hi Rachel Anne.👋🍺.
Hi everyone.👋🙂.
The smart thing from MsDNC, now there’s a contradiction in terms.😂
How does the jury render the verdict?
Count 1…guilty, count 2…guilty, count 3…guilty………….
6:06 Chris makes a good point here. If the defense is going to say, 'No, that isn't what happened,' do they have a counter-narrative to say that something different _did_ happen? Seems like a jury would need that if they're going to have 'reasonable doubts.'
Technically speaking, the defense shouldn't need to offer a single witness, offer opening or closing statements.
The burden of proof is always the prosecutors.
In practice, though, that is a terrible strategy.
@@TheBrothergreen Agree with you, but from the 'it's a terrible strategy' perspective, it's hard to persuade people (the jury, in this case), 'Don't believe what their evidence shows, believe something different,' and not give any accounting of that proposed 'something different.'
"loves" of dt is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
⚠️Since when is it a crime to pay someone to keep their mouth shut?
It's not, you are missing the point...which is the crime he committed.

And yet, they are cancer.

...wait for it 🎉
Every legal mind on the planet says that this prosecution is bogus. Only msdnc can find a panel to say it's the greatest persecution in legal history.
But he said try to delay it till after the election. This will not work
Don't give him ideas.
I think it is is not a legal argument

MICHAEL Cohen may be the ONLY person to have EVER told Donakd J. Trump. "No, no, no !" other than Melania. Well done, You! Mr. Cohen
Get the reporter's outside the courtroom to start a chant TESTIFY! during trumps rants. Hopefully it will make him shut up and go away.
Why don't you do it? Oh right, you're a liberal, you expect other people to do work. LOL
Lock Trump up LOCK Trump up .
Discussion is about how he can make everything go away. Just like a mafia boss. Same criminality. Use cash. Pay for silence.
He's looking older everyday. This "Well Deserved Trial" is doing its job on him !
