#Trump #January6 #HushMoney
Everyone knows why Trump is running. It's not to be a public servant. It's to avoid prison.
And, bonus, to become king
He wants to win so he can pardon himself.
I'm sorry for your ignorance
Biden is running because he has dementia and the people around him are in love with POWER.
@@53merlin Please...enlighten us, oh magat one!
❤️ Harry!!
What we learned about trump is that he's even more corrupt than we first imagined and 100x more slimy than initially thought.
If there were an Academy Awards for sleaze and corruption, Trump would take home the statue, year after year. He's the world's greatest conman and sleaziest dude ever.
What did Trump do wrong ?

Jail or no jail - All I care about is he doesn't get close to the White House ever again.
Trump is a proven world leader,joey not so .
Don’t need an outsider, anti-establishment guy breaking up all the Washington DC scams huh?
Do you think we can fake enough mail in ballots for Biden this time? I'm a little concerned without a pandemic we won't be able to.
That’s what his “trials” are all about. Thanks for admitting it.
"C'mon Donald, no guts no glory!" Get up there and testify. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear"
"Sleaze Merchants" a great name for todays' GOP.
oh my hahahha look at schumer, pelosi and shiffty schiff, hahhaha talk about sleaze, only their boss is sleazier, when he can talk that is.
Yeah the democratic party has had the monopoly on that saying for far too long.
@@AwesomeBabyBoomer you guys are nuts
@gladlawson61 Nope, wrong again buttercup, but then you're probably used to that.
Core Republican tactic: "I know you are, but what am I?" Donald Trump taught the GOP that the tactics of six-year-olds work on adults - or at least, adults with weak minds. Name calling, reversing victim and offender, being first to smell what they themselves dealt... their childishness is incredible.
Love Harry!!
I'm harry for Harry!
I always like listening to Mr Litman's perspective and legal expertise. He nails it every single time!
You wouldn't much care for his analysis of Fani Willis...👈🤔... Just sayin'...
what'll it be today?? a little sleazin or a bit of treason?
Can it be a wagon load of both?
🎶 The see me sleazin’, they see me treason 🎶 hahaha
Joe will do one of the two! for sure! Trump 24 Our next President!
Did Monica Lewinsky swallow Chelsea Clinton's brother😂😂
Please, it's always both in copious amounts in Trump's case.
Republican parents, don’t let someone who has been charged with 88 felonies babysit your kids.

@@danielmackay8099Comer lied to you. Do a little independent research on SARs. By themselves, they're not an indication of illegal activity. There's a very low bar for generating them. Any foriegn transaction over 5k will be flagged. And I'm not saying Trump did anything illegal, but I'd bet if you looked at his accounts, you'd find SARs on his accounts. The only thing Comer has prominent so far is that he can't find any dirt on Joe. Even the majority of House republicans won't vite for impeachment. The inquiry is dead
@@danielmackay8099and BTW, it was 91. But the judge in GA expunged 3 counts as being too vague. But they can always be refined if Willis chooses to

Woah, how inappropriate for Mr Trump to try and hug his former administrative assistant in front of the jury. This is a HUGE no-no.
You would have to assume the jury saw this as well ...The man-child gives himself away repeatedly
What is inappropriate is this, I wait until late at night to shower so he won't come in, Ashley biden.

All 7,and a few new ones,too!
How much has Don cost the taxpayers?
How much did the 4-year fake impeachment hoax cost us
Probably less than the unaccounted for tax payer for money in Ukraine
How much did the 4 year Russian impeachment hoax cost because Democrats couldn't accept the results of the election 🤔
Everyday the Republicans give voters new reasons why they should NEVER vote for them!😂
Yet the DNC is the party bleeding votes away.
Never!
And yet Trump is still leading in the polls..Me thinks youve got bad intel.
So youre ok with all the crime, open borders, racism, 2 new wars due to Biden, good to know just nice to know what we are dealing with when the Chinese come to get you.

" a sleaze merchant"...absolutely petfect discription!
tRumpF adultery is not on trial, its the payments.
And the lying in his business ledger what those checks were for. Only a part of it was lawyers fees. Watch his mea culpa pod casts. He explains a lot. He had the author of art of the deal on today. They got into details on what makes 45 so angry. Very good show.
but the payments are not actually a crime.
Yes the payments are part of the crime!
@@vade137 hidden it before a presidential election is and also finding 11,780 votes and to deny the election
they are if he used campaign money to pay them. POS is a billionaire should have used his own money to hush them up.
He never had these relationships, but he is willing pay big time at just the suggestion. The Art of the Deal indeed.
I guess the Poser-in-Chief is beyond using the "I don't recall" defense.
Hi, Harry! Always glad to see and hear you!

Name a crime ?
trump did so many felonies
@@Jetty-hs6kx You mean like hush money payments with campaign money which is illegal? I mean that is one of the crimes named in this particular trial. If people just pay attention they might at least hear the crimes even if they wish to disregard the commentary around what is named.
The pertinance of Peckers testimony…
You mean a sleazy merchant...
I've got a simple question for Republican voters: which candidate would you trust to care for your children, grandchildren or even a teenaged daughter? If you will tell me in all sincerity that it's Donald J Trump, I would wonder about your fitness to have those children anywhere near you. Or that you've not listened to Trump's own words to Howard Stern and questioned his DECADES long close associates like Epstein.
They don't care or believe it.
The guy who doesn't shower with his daughter
Well stated!!
Mic drop boyeeee!
The one that doesn't sniff little girls. "How old are you? 17? Oh only 12. You're hair smells so good."
Where was Mr. Heaphy's juror's logic in the OJ Simpson trial? I think too much credit is sometimes given to juries. I mean one of the jurors in this case admits getting his news source from Fox News?
I heard that faux news juror is out already
jurors are what makes us a country of the people, by the people, and for the people. juries put the decision of whether the government is constitutionally authorized to take away the rights of one of us into our own hands. if you don't have faith in the jury system of criminal accountability, you don't believe in our entire system of laws and government. juries are made up of us. sometimes, but rarely, we get it wrong. because we are people. but if you know a better arbiter of justice, do tell.

Can we sell him to another country? Cheap?
Nope! He's all yours....

Littman: Pecker's "an affable scoundrel". LOL

Other than that, Trump's blisteringly incompetent.
@@thepotatofuhrer2991 Gas prices are rising because russia's oil refineries are getting rocked by drones. Exports of refined oil has ended at putin's request because he needs it all in russia. Exports are limited to unrefined sludge which is sold to whoever wants to buy the cheap sludge and refine it themselves. An exiled russian economist said that russia has about 4 months of war funds left. Sux for you comrade.
?? Gotta ask, since when did grown men start calling a BRIBE something as childish as 'hush money' as if we are all 12 years old.
... hush hush.... hush hush hush..🦜💨 .... .....BRAAWK!
Look at a dictionary, get your answer.
1709, British writer Richard Steele.
Patriarchal bs. He engaged in tax crimes and campaign finance crimes while hiding payments. That’s tax fraud. And campaign finance fraud. As well as election tampering. There is an abundance of proof that shows the whole scheme was to stop the stories from being reported to the voting electorate. That’s why his actions are ILLEGAL.
They're normal. Many employees have to sign them. Called NDA non disclosure agreements, very standard legal agreement.
Trump should have been in jail a long time ago.
Most people who incite violence are in prison awaiting trial. It is nuts he is not & exposes the two tier justice system.

There are photos on line of Karen & Trump together ..He could never say he never knew her that’s for sure ..
There's been photos of him and Stormy, too. Saw one recently with melanoma, 45 and Stormy, when melanoma was still pregnant.

We receive our fame by our demeanor As we struggle through ridicule and strife. All through history up to today Our chronicle of life is accountability. Evil is a beast feasting on souls Corrupting man with greed, hate and disability. Always stay mindful of what must be done With purpose, determination, prayer and accountability. Giving our best to protect and preserve A life of freedom, faith, love and stability With honor we obtain uprightness And by love and compliance we gain grace. Credibility gives us proper goals Improving the standard of our race. By Tm Zart!

Hello, I need some advice. I work 2 jobs to support my family, and I am selling many personal possessions to try to get to a single Bitcoin. I am battling debt, how do you make such in few days? Is there any way to make money from cryptocurrency trading?..
I've been talking to Andras Bohm consultant, for long now, mostly because I lack the knowledge and energy to deal with these ongoing market circumstances. there are more aspects of the market than the average individual is aware of. Having an investing counselor is now the best line of action, especially for those who are close to retiring..
I was owing a loan of $192,000 to my bank , no longer in debt after I invested $25,000 and got my payout several times for the past two months. God bless Andras Bohm...
I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without solid knowledge, I can't decide what is best.. Can you explain further how you invest and earn?...
Run a quick online research with his name...

You know who in history had absolute immunity? Mussolini, Hitler, Hitohito, Stalin and Mao.
Scotus hasn't mentioned absolute immunity once, every justice has admitted that official actions have immunity. Too much msnbc will rot your brain.
But he said on cross-examination that he did this for all sorts of celebrities and he been doing it for Trump far before he was ever running for office. So if it was only about the election that seems far-fetched and more likely that it was a requirement for him to say that for his own immunity agreement

@@LivingtheDream67 so would I. If I'm paying my attorney back for something they did on my behalf that I was unaware of it's still legal fees as far as the accounting world is concerned.
