So sick of the word "TRUMP"...HE IS DISGUSTING.
How so?
@@Mike-ns1hothree month old trump troll account
The irony of any Trump Lawyer lecturing about integrity and credibility 🙄
Like getting scolded by a literal pile of feces for not taking a shower
Yes. Like Marjorie Taylor Greene calling for DECORUM in the House of Congress.
@@christinequinn5355That was such a good one! I don’t blame them for not sticking to decorum when they all laughed at her.
Stormys lawyer Avenatti is in prison for blackmail and wire fraud. There goes you brilliant theory Perry Mason.
Can we all dump Trump????? America deserves better!
As long as Trump has the support he has, No just vote Blue,
Absolutely we can ! In November , vote 🗳️ blue !
@@bobbyjohnson2956 Trump doesn't have nearly as much support as the media would have us believe.
The people who keep voting for him get what they deserve.
Agreed
Correction: Trump doesn't pay ANYONE, no matter how well you perfrom.
He paid Stormy. And Karen.
@@nancywhitaker5096no he didn't. Watch the Stormy Daniels Doc. Better yet, the Court case hasn't even gotten to the let's not pay Stormy part.
@@alonawhalenshows you havent even been paying attention to the trial. Trump payed stormy via Cohen. Cohen went to prision because of it.
@@alonawhalen paid ej carroll, will pay more now too.
The firefighters in ny were lining up to meet djt as he had some pizza with them.
Weissmann is a pleasure to listen to.
This is such a strange point in modern history
What's he done with his life. Born rich and borrowed more money for casinos, hotels, and golf courses. All things rich people use. Yet his base is paycheck to paycheck and they love him. Makes sense. I see nothing strange here.
Not so much when you understand how fascism works and how it has already used media and communication to reach their evil goals. Study nazifascism and how they used radio. Also, we're many decades away from the horrors of the WW2. Many ignorant people are unaware of what happened. And those who witnessed are very, very few now.
Well, those lawyers have already demonstrated a lack of good judgment by working for Trump in the first place. If they don't get paid, that will be what they deserve.
Also masochistic client choice
Everyone deserves a defense in the court of law. That being said, working for a known fraudster is a bad idea if you want to get paid.
Im sure it comes from Trump's PAC's, or Republican party.
@@atticusandwinifred3274Sure, everyone deserves representation, but every lawyer he personally seeks also has the right to decline. Why not just let the court pick a defense lawyer who can’t declare.
Highly likely they asked for a retainer. Money up front.
According to Stormy’s brief first-hand experience, even Trump doesn’t perform well in front of Trump!!! 🍄👌🤣
Good one! 😂
You mean Stormy's 2 fingered experience
Lol 😂😂😂😂
Pause....
😂
trump isn't supposed to be running his business while being "president". soooo, why is he writing/signing "business" checks pertaining to his business in the oval office?
Well done. You should send this to the Prosecution team. (But I would imagine they’ve thought about it as well). Simple but foolproof.
He always carried on with his business while in office, he never fully relinquished it.
This was before he was elected. I am sure that Maddow had him exposed writing a 65k check from gop fund. Then a65k from his Trump company. Paying off them is not illegal. His having Cohn take out fraud loan then creating a phoney shell company to hide it is a crime.
This supposedly occurred before he was President. How dumb are you people?
Good point 👍
Donald Trump GUILTY 2024.
Darth Flatulence has lost patience with your lack of loyalty... You're fired!!
😂😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yep. If you dont lick him up and down continuously then yur fired.
Who in their right mind would ever represent Trump anyway..?
political persecution.
Someone desperate for cash with no self respect
@@kelperdudeRussian bot or Chinese bot?
@@nickpang4630 - Um, I say you are chinese.
@@nickpang4630 That has to be an MTGBot
Imagine doing any work for Trump and not getting paid up front.
Imagine being a grandchild of joe and having the family disown you.
@@kelperdudeTrumps family troll is back spreading more lies
@@kelperdude That definitely didn't happen.
@@mile_high_topher hunters stripper baby
Thousands don’t have to imagine they have experienced it!!! 🗳️🗳️🗽⚖️🌊🌊💙🌊💙💙🗳️💙🗳️💙🌊💙
MSNBC..thank you❤
When that lady yelled at him "Tacky Tacopina!", I think that really hurt.
With the amount of money trump hasn't paid is staff/lawyers, he shouldnt be struggling for money.
He isn't struggling for money. He is struggling to find other people's money to use so that he doesn't have to use his own. None of the money spent so far on lawyers or anything else has come directly from him. OPM. He brags about it
That’s how he got rich in the first place. Easy to save money if you don’t pay people.
Who does he owe? How much? How do you know? Are you the liar here?
@@lidelloste3317He isn't struggling at all.
@@KaiserBlade probably rubes like you giving a 'billionaire ' your last dollar. Don't you ever wonder why someone with soooo much money constantly begs you for yours?
Retired attorney here. With this individual it’s money up front thanks. And if I did not refuse his case, I would premium the bill because of the reputational harm that would follow, win or lose.
Lol hope you are asking for enough to retire because your reputation and career would be incinerated and dumped in a landfill.
Same as Amber Heard's lawyers. Bottom of the barrel. Only people as narcissistic and unethical as their client would take on Heard and Trump.
You're a liar alright but your not a lawyer. Kardashian made millions getting a double murderer off. Explain that.
Even if the do perform well I'd recommend getting paid upfront.
These lawyers were smart enough to demand that, unfortunately.
Please name a lawyer. Trump hasn't paid. I'll wait.
@@HopefulMastiff-jf4rw seriously ask any attorney associated with Trump's 5 corporate bankruptcies. Are you seriously saying he pays his bills? How about Giuliani who says Trump owes him 2 million? Still waiting???
@@HopefulMastiff-jf4rw - He still hasn’t paid Michael Cohen, who went to jail for him and Trump tried to have him killed in jail…touche’ Cohen is suing Trump for unpaid work as we speak! Does lying make you feel like a big man?
@markcroft2743 yep, still waiting. Giulian.i claimed the RNC may owe him money. I can claim you owe me money all day. Name the 5 corporate attorneys. There aren't any.
Todd Blanche is going to bear the mark of Cain for the rest of his career. He'll be shunned by honorable lawyers.
Kardashian did OK getting a double murderer off Scott free. Explain that.
@KaiserBlade defense lawyers are supposed to win cases for their clients. Also OJ was found not guilty so ...
As he should be!
@@jackieoesterman6688 Like Kardashian for defending the double murderer OJ . Ha.
You guys are draining the heck out of Andrew! Must be paying him top dollar!! Poor baby Rump!
I think Andrew is enjoying himself alot. His next book will be fascinating and funny😂
I hope Andrew is making them pay through the nose.
This case is so much stronger than I imagined.
That's why you get that $25M retainer fee up front. Habba Dabba Doo!
What an analogy by Mr. Aronberg, "playing tennis with a golf club". This is gold 😊🥰
This is such a strange point in modern history.
These past three years have been horrible.
@@kelperdude Much longer than that. 2016 to the present.
@@kelperdude Oh, has Joe been hurting your feelings?
I tend to think what RBG said, that one day this time in history would be considered an aberration.
@@kelperdude Yeah, sure... if you're as dim as don jr.
Nicolle, your looking fabulousd as usual. Keep it up.❤
Andrew Weissmann, sew,sew and sew,sew,sew and sew---- I love the New York Jewish accent
By their work you shall know them...A man being evil can do no good to anyone...if he gives a gift he gives it grudgingly...
And this punk is running for president??????? A statement made by the Arizona Attorney General, Kris Mayes, agrees, thank you from the bottom of my heart, Pepsee.
AND he has just stated that he MAY NOT accept the results if he loses. Is EVERYTHING thing that once had value in this country - from the Supreme Court down - just turned to mush and nonsense over the last ten years. How on God's earth could a serious, lawful, balanced Democratic Republic tolerate a man like Trump - never mind allow him to run for President of a land with 330+ MILLION people. Have we regressed that badly? Or have we ALWAYS been like this, but never had to witness it before our eyes?
“Advanced in the art of projection”. Many thanks Nicolle. Makes me feel less exhausted, aka removes the oppressive “noise”. I’ll be doing my regular Potts Point farmers market tomorrow morning. It’s becoming a ritual for me to have a coffee when I’m done. My way of bringing closure to the week and thanking you. Hope I’m not being inappropriate. Just a remake of “From A to B, and Back Again”. 🐬
AKA your not getting paid, no matter what
Dude can't even get a loan.I know homeless people with better credit.
Just like everyone else who rightfully sent trump a bill.
If services are rendered, payment is due, whether he likes the results or not. They need to sue him too, if they don’t get paid!
How is he paying for lawyers when he couldn't come up with entire bond? Where is the money coming from?
Trump uses the same delaying tactics in all his suits. People run out of money to pursue him through the courts.
You wont get paid .... unless you are Alena Habba. Hes actually been giving her money, even though she is one of the worst lawyers to ever have. Wonder why.
A couple of reasons
Her knee pads
With His History: They Won't Get PAID, ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd ask for 60% upfront beforehand
joes inflation will do that.
I would ask for 200% up front as compensation for my soon to be deceased reputation.
How do attorneys get scammed ??
They don't demand payment up front from someone who yells **** you sue me if you want the money in response to every single last bill.
They arent, they are getting paid by Republican party for trump's legal expense.
Simply by working for Donald Trump. His m.o. has always been to countersue until the other side runs out of money and has to give in.
Andrew is great analyst
Trump looks sick, very sick & I would not be surprised to see a delay in this trial due to medical issues...
That's hilarious!!! Donald Trump pays someone?? Riiiggghhhttt. That will be a shock.
One word: retainer
ha
Donald Trump's most imbecilic comment to date.... "I can't testify because there's a gag order on me" as he turns to Todd Blanche and says "Right"? Bobblehead Blanche nods yes.
Trump likes every one to think he’s the victim,the Mans pathetic
You'd think even his simple-minded supporters would be able to tell that doesn't make sense and must be a con job.
Not all money is good money 🤑
Knowing this , why would any lawyer want to represent him?
Maybe trump can make a donation to the prosecutors for their good 👍 work!
Trump making a donation? he is Broke.
Sounds like the moments between Trump and "ladies of the night".
Any lawyer who takes his case is dangerously incompetent for thinking he's going to pay them.
That's a lame excuse to default on your debts.
Thanks folks!
Lovely discussion and analysis, thank you.
That's why, when dealing with him, you get paid upfront.
You don’t get paid even if you do a good job!
This case is looking like an SNL skit. bragg must be so embarrassed.
What do you mean?
No no, Bragg is smiling. Its looking bad for DJT.
lol. Bragg is wiping the floor with Trump. They have no real defense
One question that may ultimately decide this case is, "Which of Donald Trump's acts did he perform as president and which did he perform in his private capacity?" During the course of oral argument Justice Barrett asked whether Trump's discussions with members of the DoJ about who he should appoint as the next A-G were held in his capacity as president or in his private capacity. Elsewhere, Judge Luttig has expressed serious concerns about Judge Chutkan having to decide that issue without any guidance from the Supreme Court. If she gets the answers wrong and Trump is convicted, is there a risk that the convictions will be set aside?
If you work for Trump you get a retainer or you don't work for him 🙄
If you provide a service to drumpf and he refuses to pay take him to court. Maybe he can't afford to drag delays out as long as he used to. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
The criminal system is being revealed for the game it is and had always been.
That’s called theft of service.
Yeah tell that to all the contractors trump has stiffed over the years.. and good luck with that
Do lawyers take an oath? If so, what is the content of the oath ? I doubt it says there is a variance that promotes fees above ethics
He is a celebrity because he’s infamous!
If you did perform well, you also won't be paid.
Cash up front or you go with the public defender. Too much history to “take his word for it”.
Extortion Defense may, be plausible, but it is still Weak/Lame.
And what other excuse does he have ?
Ask Rudy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
THE CULT, THE CULT, THE CULT
Can't act innocent if you are guilty and the evidence is growing by the day.
Other than being DJT, the worst feeling in the world must be representing him in court.
They should bill by the week. He doesn't pay, they quit.
With His History: You Won't Get Paid, ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If his lawyers are smart... they shd demand a 50% deposit before taking up his case 😂
That’s what they get! Representing a rogue! Hope they were smart enough to at least get a retainer.
Even if you do well for T, you still don't get paid.
Why take the job if you know there's a better than average chance you won't get paid.
If you won't perform well in front of Trump, you won't get paid. Sounds like lawyers shouldn't bring a brief case to court. They need to wear a circus suit, a little box hat, and bring a bag of peanuts, an accordion, and a tin cup if they are going to have to reduce themselves to being trained monkeys instead of lawyers. The fool making fools out of people who were trained to know better.
All the while the client is hurting himself more than anyone as he undermines his multimillion dollar legal representation he has no intention of paying. What a nice guy can't wait to hang out with him(sarcasm).
The way people describe Trumps behavior makes me think Kimmel should hold a trial where a child accused of some crime (stealing cookies) will instruct an adult lawyer so people can understand what is actually happening at this trial.
Merit based pay. What a concept. Clearly this station is against that.
So, are you saying that if trump loses, then his lawyers shouldn’t get paid or rather, he shouldn’t pay his lawyers? Strange concept is yours…
When you hire a magician and get a lawyer instead, of course you won't pay him. rofl
~ 5:15 into the clip = gr8 summary
Surely any lawyer worth his salt will insist on vast sums of money on account before agreeing to act for Trump.
You might not get paid anyway with Mr. Chintzy.
How do we know when "he's scared or aggravated"? I never met the dude!
And?
These Republicans and lawyers should be running for the doors 😅😅😅😅😅from Trump and let him pay his own legal bill's 😅😅😅😅
First and foremost the RNC has to stop paying his bills and his supporters have to stop donating for his legal fees. That’s the toughest part. As long as they keep paying up, he won’t have to use his own money.
Oh, I very strongly suspect that his current attorneys, at least the wise ones, have already received very large retainer fees and are working off those.
Just the typical Trump Cheapskate Scheme. And THAT'S why you don't hire on with Trump if you want to preserve your professional prospects.
Make Attorneys Get Attorneys
Did he ever pay anything 🤔
Wasn't the lawyer in Florida paid in advance ?
Tacopina has ben chastened and that is the best you can get from representing trump.
How would an innocent person behave? Who cares? It's about documents and witnesses and proof of innocence.
Trump's lawyers never heard of a retainer?
What a joke
like they were getting paid haha.
Where does this case leave Melania in respect of a claim she might make for adultery against DJT?
So they have to risk getting barred so they can get paid, but he'll likely stiff them anyway. I don't understand why any lawyer would want to do this to themselves.
He already stiffed so many lawyers these ones demanded payment up front
Question - is Supreme Court going save democracy or corruption.??
I am really concerned my favourite reporters are over confident.
They knew what they were getting into when they agreed to represent trump.
Test.
I wonder what Todd Blanche would pay to get his soul back.🤔
