#MichaelCohen #DonaldTrump #hushmoney
Looks like Trump threw the Wrong Guy under the Bus. LOL LOL
He's thrown just about everybody under the bus
Cohen may have actually gotten Trump ‘elected’ in 2016, so jury still out on redemption. I’d still call him an American hero for taking a stand against the orange tyrant and his hoard of zombie MAGOT’s (thanks Micheal)
ONLY A FOOL WOULD THINK MICHEAL WOULD COMMIT PERJURY AGAIN. HE'S SERVED HIS TIME AND ISN'T LOOKING TO GO BACK!
How embarrassed do you radical brown shirts feel now? What a joke of a case
Only a fool would think that someone proven to lie in the past would not be willing to lie again.
That's why there has been so much evidence presented to corroborate Cohen's testimony, letting the Jury hear his words, knowing that everything he is saying has other evidence to support it.
He likely did today. He's a serial perjurer.
You call him a rat? What is he supposed to do - perjure himself? He has to tell the truth. If the truth hurts too bad.
It's only true to you because of your TDS.
Ari didn’t call him a rat. It’s just what the mob would call him.
Oh please. 'Rat' doesn't describe Cohen. 'Redeemed' describes him better.
Cohen is the opposite of rat. Cohen, unlike Trump - actually served time for Trump's crime.
Oh your slow
That's TDS speaking.
@@emilmedellin4525 seek professional help
@@emilmedellin4525 - never mind that 7 of the 8 counts against Cohen were completely personal
When the master dog is not loyal to his loyal dog then we will see that dog will bark and bite the master!
If you would not allow a convicted criminal or liar to testify, how could any member of an organized crime organisation like the mob ever he held accountable? Or Donald Trump, which is basically the same question.
Well that's Trump's defense, Cohen did it out of self sacrifice and the proof is his federal conviction.
A rat only exists in a mob mentality.
Lawfare is a tool of thugs.
Wrong but good try. A rat is a universal term, not just a mob term 🤡🤦🏽♂️💯
they only take the 5th.
The maga mafia 😂😂😂 0:58
go to Bangkok... they have TONS of rats there.
What an awful drawing of Cohen!!
That’s what I thought!! Doesn’t look like him at all.
mafia boss always says he is innocent and the little guy takes the fall
A principal is liable for the acts of their agent(s) on the principal's behalf, at the behest of said principal.
Trump always wants to be the top guy, so will say anything. Poke him and he throws someone under the bus to take attention away from him. I doubt you would find a guy surviving for long in an actual Mafia setting where honour and respect was a two way street.
He is innocent unlike your Sleepy Joe 🤡🤦🏽♂️
Coming from someone that worships an unconscious orange turd that is hillarious. Denial is not a river in Egypt.@TimmyTOnTheFly
@@TimmyTOnTheFly Trump is falling asleep during the trial. The 'sleepy Jo' comment is now irrelevant.
Cohen took a sledge hammer to Trump's defense.
By saying he paid for it himself.😅😂 You and MSNBC got Trump now. His next rally will have 200,000 people if you keep going
If you believe a convicted serial perjurer and liar.
If Cohen had that reputation, then why did Trump hire him? Either Trump sucks at hiring or wanted a serial perjurer. @kennithlambert2563
It doesnt matter what Cohen did,what matters is what Trump did.
And that’s exactly the point that shouldn’t be missed!
@@carmend.1924the credibility of the witness means nothing? We see you.
💯
WITLESS STAND
'Mr. Fix-It' Michael Cohen bombs on the stand, offers no new evidence to convict Trump
@@ForgotMyDemonName So when it comes to make america great again, it never does? what? You realize that's what the acronym stands for right?
The whole Cohen story deserves a full length movie. Talk about character arc!
A sad old basset hound will play the part of Michael Cohen.
@Seanjrambow if the magatts don't burn the history books.
they wouldnt find an actor low enough to play trump. They could never shake the stink
Judging by the bots, someone's very worried!
w3rd
There are not only US bots, but international ones too!
Same with: Gaza and the "spoiled" college protesters.
@@meeeka
Yes, funny how they show up at these times ! ! !
Yes, especially in Russia.
Gotti was known as "the Teflon Don." And now we've got our own.
The difference is, is that he acknowledged he was wrong and has paid his debt and is working on being a good human. A rat testifies to not get jail time.
He has no job, disbarred, credibility destroyed. He is desperate and needs to survive. This will make him rich. That's his motive.
And the rat is also the biggest antihero than Micheal Cohan.
@@aclogarta
How will this make him rich ?
@@aclogarta No job. True. Expect he'll have to rely on the meagre income from 2 best-selling books so far, a very popular podcast, frequent appearances and interviews in the media, 1 settlement, so far, from Trump due to unpaid legal bills, no doubt movie and tv biopics about him in the works....etc. Yep, he's really struggling.
Best selling books actually make authors shockingly little money. Look into it. Best selling authors, by and large, are somewhat scraping by. Most novelists have other careers to actually pay for their lives.
You know, I'm going to be honest I'm having trouble taking this whole thing seriously when your making literal godfather references in the middle of the trial.
Brush up on the law, that should make things crystal clear for you. Even the players involved knew it was illegal. Sheesh
I'm reminded of Robert Duvall's character in The Godfather, the consigliere for the Corleones. When taking down a mob boss, the only witnesses available will be people with dirty hands.
If Macbeth had survived to the end, Lady Macbeth was the one with the most intimate knowledge, but had spots on her hands she couldn't take out.
True, Ari! When the centre cannot hold, things fall apart - Chinua Achebe.
Excellent book.
Just an observation: Could they find a worse courtroom sketch artist?
This "artist" is the worst I've ever seen.
That artist is excellent!
I like the artist 😂excellent sketches
They seemed to have hired a drunk French impressionist to do the job.
Funny how Diaper Don wouldn't pardon Cohen, but he was happy to pardon his pal who was his go between to Putin...
Because Cohen flipped when the FBI threatened to indict his wife as a co-conspirator in tax violations
I don't understand how we've STILL NEVER been told what was agreed upon between DIAPERDONNIEVONSHITZENPANTS and Putin in that 2 hour meeting in Helsinki before they came out in front of the world and DIAPERDONNIEVONSHITZENPANTS said Putin says Russia didn't meddle in America's elections!!!
Almost 8 years and not one word!!
So, now they have French impressionist doing the court room sketches?
Cohen’s face looks like two different characters glued together.
🤣 and on the 8th day God invented cubism.
@Krankyoldtime64 Picasso was Spainish I believe ....
Yes he was... why the relevance to this though?
YOU GO MICHEAL COHEN !!!!!!!!!!!¡@!
buy the gold digger's books, buy the books, buy the books
The 2 million dollar pardon fee.
Cohen just sent Trump to RIKERS ~ *amen*
I bet my soul against yours that PRESIDENT TRUMP wins this case.... even in this psycho liberal State.
*Drumpf* is going to present the *Secret Service* with a binary choice: To protect *Drumpf* or *_not._*
Since *Drumpf* _was_ the _Commander In Chief_ at the time, the *US Military* may choose to incarcerate at *Camp Delta* in *Gitmo.*
He can be requested to appear via *Zoom,* over a VPN, be muted at any time by the judge, and have his view of the court limited to the judge and the witness stand.
That should be enough to control him. The next trials? ... Why move him?
He did .....e there isn't even actual charges
And your comments make you easily identified in the future 😮
Even if OUR former President is found "guilty" it will be reversed on appeal. He will never see the inside of RIKERS...
Things finally falls apart.what an Author from West Africa ,Nigeria
Great book.
Chinua Achebe, I think.
Thank you I must listen and watch you every day. 🙏👍👍😊
DT will be down and out and in confinement saying “can't stand you." "Can't stand you”! Like on Seinfeld.
Put the Kingpin in Jail ❤
Yes!
Lowlife, middlemen and Duh BOSS go to Bighaus
Cohen has already been but I ain't against him going back...
Thank you, Ari! 🗽
Rino's need to re-brand the RAT Pack to the RAT MOB - Rinos Against Trump!
Don Corleone Trump: "Pass the cheese."
It's Don Snorleone and rather than respect he has other people's money
When donald funk makes that face, It reminds me of a kid.That's mom would not give him money when the ice cream truck came by. Remember when you could get a push up or a bomb pop for 50 cents? Hee-haw was provocative, And you are watching the movie grease for the ninth time. And sally field was flipping Buford the bird. Now that's when it was great😏
ok boomer
Trump is not a mobster. He wishes
The trump may think he's like Al Capone, but he's just an All Gas-zone.
wow you're edgy
Womp womp womp.
Thanks, but I'll take the
HAPPY COINCIDENCE 👈😁
of $2 gas, while Trump
was NOT controlling it...
Trump is like Tony Fartone
@@ketanjibrownsfavemolester7592that didn't happen in a vacuum, with the $2 gas you also get a million people killing covid-19
Cohen ordered spaghetti and marinara. He got egg noodles and catsup.
What happens if tRUMP gets convicted before the presidential nominating convention and can't run?
1000% amen 😮
" while Mama is with us, no harm is to come to Fredo"
Very well put Mr.Melber.
You go, Ari! Quoting Chinua Achebe!
A mob boss calling someone a 'rat' is a totally impotent insult.
At last. Something to replace the Sopranos!
tRUMP in STORMY WEATHER
Are they ever going to tell us what the crime is?
Really??? Don't play stupid! I guess you've been living under a rock?
The crimes are told repeatedly, MAGAs just don't have the brainpower to understand or even remember what they are.
@JesseJones-jh3fl
Everyone knows except you, Jesse. Why are you so far behind the class?
@@terri6854 Guess what you didn't include in your reply. How about it? What's the crime?
MSNBC Ari Melber Esq Superb Legal Reporting.
Be careful whose fingers you tread on when you're climbing the ladder to power bc they're gonna remember when your slide back to earth happens.
What a long strange trip it's been...
WHERE IS THE DOUBLE CRIME? HUNG JURY!!!
Melber's fascinating insight into prosecution of Trump is a marvel to watch. Careful to hew to the facts, Melber is a tutorial in how justice works-- and sometimes, doesn't.
"What a long, strange trip it's been."
Does Stormy have to give the money back?
See here how everything leads up to this day,
and it's just like any other day that's ever been;
Sun coming up and then the sun it goes down;
Shine through my window and my friends they come around.
To paraphrase the Grateful Dead 😳 "What a long strange trip it's been"
Lookimg at how Trump didn't even pardon members of his business and campaign until the last few weeks of his term, I don't understand how anyone believes Trump would pardon any of the January 6th participants. The only ones he might pardon are those high up in the Oath Keeper and Proud Boys leadership. Those are the ones who still could prove useful to Trump inna second administration. Think of Stone, Bannon and Flynn as examples.
Trump did pardon Gerid’s dad
Why
@@Godseesall-jr7sgHe probably paid Trump for the pardon.
A carrot on a string works for his supporters.
He pardoned all his buddies. So corrupt.
hilarious take on reality
There is absolutely no doubt that what’s happening in the New York courtroom right now is a clear cut indication of justice and the rule of law working as it should in America.
...in a "pornhub" 👈
kind of way...

Rather a rat than a piece of…
Ari has an axe to grind with Cohen.

He’s not a rat. Trump shouldn’t be a criminal.
Great analysis
Henry Hill.
Trump's lawyers only have to convince ONE juror that Cohen MIGHT HAVE acted on his own. They just might be able to do that.... who knows.
It's not that easy to stick to such personal convictions, everyone wants home.
In general juries take their job seriously and crimes benefiting Trump out of charity and him suddenly over paying bills is rather incredible to believe unless he was buying silence, which is the planned conspiracy in the case.
Love the Achebe reference!
I hope the WPP is still operating😊
The Jerry Springer angle, now the people come out and fight.
lol 😂Chinua Achebe! The center CANNIT hold!
What’s the crime?
Gotti's & Trump share the "Teflon Don" nickname. They could also share the infamous distinction of having their right hand man send them to jail.
These trials will make Trump's next rally have 200,000 people
You mean his props
IMHO, Big difference is that DJT is nothing but a wannabe mob boss, but is instead a grifter, terrible liar, and someone who has lifelong record of stiffing people who have done work for him m.
Today, Cohen is indeed taking a bullet for Trump but not in the way he meant back then.
DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO LIE FOR TRUMP AGAIN? TRUMP LET HIM TAKE THE RAP & Go TO PRISON. Trump went free! Nobody would that dumb to do that again. You people have this loyalty to a crook, that normal people just don't get.
He looks like art fonzarelli
He’s a creep.
He's a proven liar over and over.
And stinky’s chosen right hand man. The prosecution doesn’t pick these witnesses, the defendants does.
Cohen lied for Trump under Trumps direction! Wake up genius!!
Teflon Don
Hole hearted bs
The desperation is ripe. Keep lying to keep hate alive.
Nancy Reagan said "Just say No".
Can't say Trump told him to break the law, "Just do it".
Do I have to tell everyone to obey the law too?
Trump didn't pardon over "stormy" assistance but did on coup attempt assistance 🤷♀️🤔
Compares a NDA to murder this is beyond propaganda
Terrible headline. You do know that many people only read the headline.
wow its just sad that Trump did not care about his wife or her feelings..Sleazy...
DJT: "They flipped em"!
Dude, Cohen went to Prison for lying under oath +.😅 On Fox, we listened to audio where Trump asked Cohen, "Wait, what, what money?" Look for the title "Jury listens to secret tape by Cohen" for yourself.
He went to prison the same way mobsters go to prison for their boss, and is now testifying the same way mobsters testify against their boss.
Wrong. In that video/audio Trump said "What financing?", because he wanted to just pay cash.
Don't get your info from Fox.
Trump's motto of not paying his bills comes back to haunt him, and perhaps lead to his ultimate demise.
Trump flipped on Cohen first!
what's with the violent detailed bus metaphor? maybe all the kristi noem violence has gotten to your brains. else, the kennedy worms?
Do literally never met Michael Cohen.
I am desperate for Ari to show me the raps that go along with this! Break it down Ari if you can!!!
Justice needs to be served on Trump. Put him in jail and throw away the key.
Jail cell doors don't have keys nomo
For what crime?
@jbrockskill your question should be, for what crimes? Plural
@@jbrockskill they don’t even know😂
People are brainwashed 🧟
Please explain the crime. If you can.
Nice Black Peter reference Ari!
I am not really familiar with this family.
see here how everything lead up to this day
WATCH. Trump's lawyer's cross will go something like this:..
Todd Blanche: "Do you know what a 'rat' is? A rat will do anything to survive!"
Cohen: "I don't know anything about being a rat."
Blanche: "You know EVERYTHING about being a rat, don't you?"
It will go this way because Trump saw Goodfellas.
Apparently=opinion
He's not a rat, he just made a rat move
Trump is finished. He doesn't have the sense to know it and neither do his supporters😅
Who watches this and takes it seriously? You need help
Hahahahahahahaha
This guy is so out of touch
