I have more respect for Stormy Daniels than I have ever had or will ever have for Trump.

Gee, I would never have guessed than a person watching MSDNC wouldn't have much respect for Orange Man.
@@winstonsmith6607 so what has msdnc said that wasn't the absolute real truth about trump? Because, most people are not going to view January 6 as a tourist event.
@@apt1smith51 Most people view it as a riot that got out of control. Same as the BLMriots. To argue that a few thousand unarmed people from all over the country tried to overthrow the entire US military is nutz. But that's exactly the lie this network pushed for over three years
It comes down to this: if the jury is going to disbelieve Cohen, they have to disbelieve *everything else* the prosecutors have shown them as well.
The jury by the time has already a strong opinion bout 45… Cohen will merely erase the last doubts here... he will be convicted that is as sure as the day comes after every night 💪🏾
Cohen is the nail in the coffin
😂😂😂WRONG COHEN IS GOING TO BE TOTALLY DESTROYED BY TRUMPS LAWYERS ON THE WITNESS STAND 😂😂AND TRUMP IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC OF AMERICA!!!!¡¡¡¡😂😂😂
The pathological liar with a history of perjury 😂
@neal5068 - Committed perjury for the benefit of the current defendant. And most of his testimony will be corroborated by the paper trail. What’s it like, being paid to lie in the comments section of KZhead? Seems pretty pathetic, to be honest.
@@neal5068 and why did he lie and for whom. This is too easy, i'll wait
Trump is going to be your POTUS 😂
If I were part of the jury my only interest is in the evidence. The evidence is in the documents and paperwork.
I agree 100%.
Intent isn’t necessarily in the documents and paperwork.
Who did the paperwork? Cohan
@@BillStyne-ks6co Or was it Conan or perhaps Cochran? Mo ron.
@@chrism1503 Bingo, and it makes the "tabloid" approach of Team Dumpterfire irrelevant.
If the prosecution gets the Alan Weiselberg No Snitching contract admitted into evidence it will be the final nail in the coffin.
This trial is the ultimate humiliation for Donald Trump... Michael Cohen's testimony will be the cherry on top.
This trial is a joke, they haven't even identified a crime. Their star witness is a pathological liar 😆

Thank YOU, Ari. Excellent discussion, as always. ✌🏼💙✊🏼

@@neal5068criminal defendant Trump is a known pathological liar.
Right Katie, the defense doesn't have a leg to stand on. That's why they disparaged her "professional choices". You're a great lawyer, Katie.
Exactly. They have the paper trail to prove it and corroborating evidence between witnesses.
There hasn't even been a crime identified yet in the trial 😆
@@jcr-studiosprove what exactly?
@@jcr-studiosand you don't what they have 😆
Star witness is a pathological liar 😆
It is strange that Trump's credibility doesn't come into the discussion. The defense seems to be 'everybody is lying but me', so his history of 30,000 lies might be relevant.
Can you list these 30000 "lies"?
That always cracks me up. 30,000 lies? LOL! Who counted those? Give me a break! That’s just stupid. How about you count Bidens? Don’t have the time to do that I’m sure. Democrats don’t have a clue. Biden is out of there in November. Get ready for it. Trump 2024
@@FahQue1984 google it, troll.
They can only do that if he testifies, which he won't.
While the malignant narcissist, conman, sociopath, biggest liar and the traitor was in office, he had already crossed 40k lies. After leaving office, God only knows the count as nobody is counting the pos lies.
Thanks for your great and insightful commentary Katie!! 👍
Thanks Katie ❤.
Love Katie.
She's MINE! 🤩
Trump gives you so many stories, it makes it easy for prosecutors , they can always point to something Trump said that makes him guilty 😂😂
Adam Klasfeld and Katie have been a vital pulse to this case and reporting in real time. Thank you both! Good to see you, Ari!
Your positivity is infectious.

dumpster really put his foot in it by creating a situation where now he's forced to go to his son's graduation where he'll be in a room with an audience he has no control over so maybe he'll get booed, and given his state of health and the pressure the trial is putting on him this this can't be good for him.
I think the cheers will be good for him.
He scheduled a rally and fundraiser that day as well. We shall see if he actually attends the graduation.

Rump the biglist PAB on the planet. 😅
People lie
Hi Katie, You're the lawyer I would want if I needed help.
Mainstream media needs to stop calling Cohen "the key witness" and the "star witness". It's not like we get to watch the trial on live television.
The definition of "the key witness" is not someone whose testimony we can view on television. Key witnesses have been around far longer than the tellybox! From _The Legal Guide:_ "The term 'key witness' is just an ordinary witness within the meaning of the term as defined by the importance of his account, while the actual substantive significance of his evidence to the establishment of the truth may only result from the credibility of his evidence combined with the professional approach of all participants in the criminal proceedings and the use of all necessary tools of a fair criminal trial resulting in proper judgment on the merits of the case."
He is a key witness. This case probably wouldn't exist without his testimony and evidence.
I want to thank MSDNC for helping Trump get Re Elected
Katie u my gurl u hit all the nails! This is exactly what Cohen been waiting for his day too testify in criminal court about what he did for Trump!
First inmate with a Secret Service detail. Some poor guy is gonna be on diaper duty.
They can't just throw him in jail. He has secret service protection for life and the logistics of protecting him in a state facility are next to impossible. And jail, over an accounting error? Get real 😆
@@neal5068they'll sign him over to the us marshals and then they'll silence him, Epstein style
They can, they’re not, and it isn’t an “accounting error”. Which you know very well. Get a real job.
Yes.... Biden
In Tudor times, a prized role in the royal court was *Page Of The Stool.* And yes, he 'assisted' the monarch Henry VIII (and many monarchs before and after him) with his daily er... motions. It really was a coveted position as you got the ear of the King daily (as well as the whiff, one imagines 😳)
Trump is TOAST after Cohen's toast-imony!!!
😂😂COHEN WILL BE TOTALLY DESTROYED BY TRUMPS LAWYERS ON THE WITNESS STAND AND I THINK HE IS DOING 20 YEARS IN PRISON FOR HIS CRIMES AND STORMY DANIELS STILL OWES TRUMP 500,000 DOLLARS FROM LOOSING A LAWSUIT 😂😂😂😂AND TRUMP IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT 😂😂😂!!!!
Because he never lies 😂
LOLOL 😂
Everybody focuses on Hope Hicks saying what she said about Michael Cohen on only Michael Cohen. What does it say about Hope Hicks believing what tRump says? It sounds like she is used to dismissing it as truth.
Love Katie! She’s brilliant.
The prosecution doesn't really need Cohen. It would be funny if they just let him sit this one out.
Katie is remarkably articulate!
Twas good to see her Dolly Partons!
📸 Tough Law is better than Lawlessl Behavior😊
----- < "Totally selfish" might be an exaggeration..
Cohen has the receipts (evidence). The receipts don't lie.
What do the receipts say?
@@heemlo649 That Trump lied. It was not about his wife, it was about silencing a story to the public using campaign funds.
How many more months of trial before we get some testimony about a falsified business record?

It seems you were reasonably slothful when you were in school studying spelling. Perhaps if you'd been more studious you wouldn't be so susceptible to unfounded conspiracies.
Trump. The king of the diaper gang.
Goodness of his heart? The guy wanted a job at the white house and was upset that he did so much for Trump and did not get the job. Ya sure, he is a good guy.
Being a “good guy” or not is irrelevant. What matters is what he says, and most of what he says will be corroborated by the paper trail.
@@chrism1503 pretty much no. It was always a fail with the audio recording. He when rogue regardless, the paper trail does not prove anything.

Everything was fine when Trump was president. I'm tired of all the lies from Biden and not doing anything about inflation. Trump has my vote in November.
It sounds like you were asleep when Trump was president. Biden has signed off on the inflation reduction act and since then inflation has fallen to around where it was under Trump. Unemployment is much lower under Biden as well.
Campaign staffer says what?
They haven't shown Trump had any prior knowledge of the payment Cohen is the last hope
Why then did he sign the 12 cheques for reimbursement of Cohen's costs? The evidence has proven it was not for legal services.
Please see the most recent evidence entered from a civil suit filed against Stephanie Clifford in CA. Trump states he and shows he knew of Cohen's efforts and appreciated them.

Sure, comrade
You missed the “Quid pro quo” - open drilling in exchange for campaign contribution. Corrupt 45.
Why would I lie to my friends and family?
🤣🤣🤣when did that happen. I must have missed it. What I didn't miss was Rump telling GOP members not to vote on securing the border. That the national debt rose more than six trillion dollars during his presidency. More than any president by far. More jobs were lost during his presidency than any other since Herbert Hoover. He totally mishandled the covid pandemic. Remember he said it would be over in a couple of months? And to injections of bleach to cure it. The only thing he accomplished was a tax break for billionaires. He inherited a decent economy. In only 4 years he left it in shambles. None of the things you mentioned are true. But if you want prove they are. By the way his first 2 years in office the Republicans controlled the presidency, the house of representatives and the senate. But the only thing Rump passed was a tax break for billionaires.
Get back on your med's sweetie.💙💙💙
Star witness is a pathological liar with a history of perjury 😆
The closer the incarceration looms, the more unhinged and violent the criminal psychotic liar will become. Calling for civil unrest will no doubt be his endgame.
