Trump calling himself a Christian is like calling yourself a veteran because you were in a civil war reenactment.
You need new material. It really is just getting boring.
Trump’s like a car crash and the engine is still running.

Where's Walt? 😜
Todd Blanch still hasn't explained the cashed checks signed in Sharpie and the false business ledgers. Maybe Monday.
He just needs 2 weeks.
Once the checks became public Rudy disappeared! They will blame Rudy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One telephone call where the story gets muddled v 2 weeks of damning EVIDENCE of illegal conduct and Ari & Anderson Cooper come unhinged. What is it with the orange freak that even normally sane people find a reason to 'both-side' him. He's evil & corrupt, no one should both-side such a predator.
Not his job
Cashed checks are not a crime. He doesn't need to do anything
Thank you Mr. Cohen for your testimony. Believe all Women is more important than ever and we stand with Stormy. 💙💙
Come out.......
You’re in a cult 😂
No we don’t
Question ❓ What's fake all over ❓
STORMY DOUBLE D DANIELS ❤️
This is a 5.37 minute interview. A lot can be said in 1 minutes and 30 seconds. "I took care of that problem for you," takes about 10 seconds.
People in conversation pace can say about 150 words a minute. The brevity of the call is meaningless in disproving what was said.
👍👍
@@suomynona4607 That's what I said. He didn't remember the dumb kid from a 90-sec call 8 years ago?? HOrrors!
"I took care of that thing for you" takes more like 5 seconds
@evangelineLKwan true. I'm from the South. I tend to allow for slower speaking. Lol
I don’t know what is happening with Ari but he seems alone in his thinking
Ari's butt hurt because Cohen made him look stupid in his last gotcha interview with him.
The case is over.
Made him
@@seanmccartney5177I know right he just looks stupid
Ninety seconds is long enough for three television commercials.
At conversation pace, 96 seconds is time enough to say 240 words. Relying on the length of the call as proof Stormy wasn't discussed is absurd.
Has anyone noticed that anything Donald Trump comes in contact with turns to 💩
That's joe. Look at the country. 🤢🤢🤢

You know, if Trump had absolute immunity he would never have caught the clap.
@@user-ed1fr1fu9r
Trump calls his youngest son Melania's son and rarely talks about Tiffany.
@@JohnBuford. He got the clap.
I'm an ex prosecutor ( about 150 jury trials) and this is not confirmation that Cohen was lying. He could easily have talked about the 14 year old and that the Stormy Daniel's thing was wrapped up in less than 30 seconds.Also it was 8 years ago when his recollection may not have been totally accurate at the time of his first testimony about this. I am surprised that Ari and this former prosecutor are making conclusions on this before re-direct is given on Monday. Amateur hour is going on with Ari Melber today.
Only because it isn't going your way.
Btw, you need to edit your comment if you want to appear legit as an "ex prosecutor". None of the prosecutors I've ever worked with have ever referred to themselves as "ex prosecutors". I've never heard that in all my years in the courts. Former prosecutors refer to themselves as just that, "former prosecutors"
What about the other 173 lies he has told?
Oh shut up. No you weren't. Even the lawyers on CNN are like nah. This ain't good at all and they were prosecutors. So stop making yourself look like a clown.

As Barbara McQuade said, how long does it take to say “it’s done boss”? So big deal if the call was 90 seconds.
a ninety second phone call is all that's needed when Trump simply says 'fix it now!'

The call was 96 seconds long. Quit trimming it down to 90 to make it sound shorter.
You can do a lot of talking in a minute and 36 seconds. Take this video for example - the conversation from 0:30 to 2:06.
Considering the one's has major credibility issue with twice empeached and arrested and indictments let trump testify the truth will set him free
Prosecution will question Cohen on cross examination and give Cohen the chance to refine his answers. We all know you are not a Cohen fan, since you target him every chance you get.
They threaten anyone who opposes Trump.
@@artandarchitecture6399No, that would be perjury

@@user-eu6cy4bs1n Have you ever lied? Does that mean that's all you are? Just curious. Because I have no idea how I would react to someone threatening my husband if I didn't cop to it. Thanks for the outlook.
As a doctor speaking to my senior colleagues: a LOT can be said in 90 seconds…
Cohen wouldn't want to spend a long time talking about completing the dirty task so boss I got it covered it's all finished blah blah blah doesn't take but what 20 seconds
Melber is going all Trumpy on us
Not remembering a 90 second phone call from 8 YEARS AGO isn't a surprise. It only takes 5 seconds of that 90 seconds to say, "I took care of that issue for you."
I don’t recall exactly who said it, but on one of the shows yesterday somebody made the comment to the effect of “Saying he couldn’t cover two topics in 90 seconds requires you to believe a fast-talking New York lawyer can’t talk fast.” And really, the conversation would have required how many words? 20? 30? Maybe that for each side? Set a timer and see how many words you can read aloud off a page in 30 seconds. At a pretty relaxed pace, over 110 for me.
Average is 150 words per minute. Blanche is desperate to polish his turd of a defense. I hope the make this obvious point at redirect.
it went as followed, you that thing about that thing, i taken care of it, 8 seconds. now fill in the other 82 seconds.
There’s absolutely no evidence that supports Robert Costello’s claims against Cohen.
Seriously?
I just saw a picture of djt at barrons graduation. The mass of crowd was clapping and were so happy.
That doesn’t change the fact that the United States is in much better shape with Biden as president instead of Trump.
@@DrakeSmith-tn6ij Ae you serious or just special?
There is and you're just too dumb to know
Good job you doing bro
Blanche said he'd need half an hour with Michael on Friday. All of a sudden, things changed. I think Trump insisted on Blanche attacking.
The phone call cross exam was not necessarily effective. The testimony showed that Michael was a little disoriented as he had not seen the email in years. The incident happened long ago. Yes you can say what needs to be said to two individuals in a 90 second call. The media is making a mountain out of a molehill. To be reminded that the core part of the prosecutors’ case is strong.
Blah blah blah blah bring on Richie man down to repeat this mindless BS
They caught him lying under. Oath I’d say that’s a knockout blow….
What did he lie about?
@rogerthat4545 He didn't. The latest maga lie is that he did
They caught Trump signing the the checks for 3x the hush money. I'd say that is a knockout blow...
funny everyone is saying that. but the people in the court house, so it means nothing,
@@diegojines-us9pc I know that outside of the jury it means nothing. I'm just saying.
That’s all I need that defense guy to say lol a stupid phone call isn’t going to overwhelm the whole evidence that they have about the case 😂😂😂😂 keep dreaming
How long does it take to say, all is taking care of?
Ari… how many topics can you hit in 90 seconds
Well, the Defendence did a C+ work on Cohen...this case is not about Cohen v. Trump, it is the People of NY v. Trump. So what he slipped on such a trivial recollection issue. Do any of you still remember all you phone calls made back in 2016? But, I believe, perhaps, all Trump needs is just one jury to have doubt, and I believe he will get it.
Keith, please have the Secret Service take care of this caller, and let me take to the boss, boss it's all taken care of. 60 seconds and they're done.
Agree to disagree about 90 second phone call.
Imagine joining the military to honorably serve your country and you get stuck with Donald Diaper changing duty🇺🇸

Trump u want too knod sleep throw your head back in court! But that jury all of them!!! Are focused alert paying attention taking notes every thing u didn't do,i see a unanimous guilty vote from jury 2 days max they have all the boxes check what prosecutor wanted too present here
Where was Alito's wife on Jan 6? We know where Gianni Thomas was and what she was telling the chief of staff. NY Times needs more investigation.
Punches get answered punches
As far as I’m concerned if the defense doesn’t call Keith Schiller to rebut Cohen’s account of that call then the jury should assume Cohen was telling the truth. Pretty simple. But my guess is Schiller on the stand is a can of worms for trump.
If they put Schiller on, and the prosecution can ask him anything. It opens the door to all kinds of incriminating topics.
Has Donnie explained why he left so much of the Constitution out of his magabible?
don't you dare talk about the constitution. Democrats want to destroy it. They used it against their political opponent, and we didn't forget.

I used to trust what you said Ari, no more.
I’m proud of Mr. Cohen for going after a bad man, trump, he is a bad character and has caused many people to Go To Jail. I believe Mr. Cohen. Nuff Sayd.
Ninety seconds is a long time to talk about more than one thing. Let the prosecution stand before the jury and say that he will be quiet for the next 90 seconds. They'll figure it out!
I mean Cohen could've gone into a bit of detail on how it went as well and maybe even give some information that is needed for payment and such. Trump himself may have asked a question or two as well. /shrug
@@urazz7739 yeah, Cohen's response was severely flawed. Now prosecution has to decide what to do next. Let it go and clean it up in closing arguments, or put him back on the stand and risk him screwing up again.
Cohen taking a few jabs, does not translate to a knock out, Ari.
🤣🤣🤣 they are not done with Cohen Monday will be here soon enough
Hey Ari, that’s some weak sauce. But I guess that’s your level as a pundit. Good job of seeking and arriving at the level of mediocre confrontation. You are the master there.
I dont see Trump saying the court artist did a poor job on Cohens likeness. 😂
Can Don Dump bent over to pick a bar of soap?
GO RED❤! NEVER JB! ❤❤❤❤❤
Cohen is so incredibly bad for the prosecution it is hilarious hahaha
Any ONE in trump Inner Circle is a Key Witness...from Cohen All the way to Pence's...

It was a knockout!

This is the case that is SO IMPORTANT that the Feds said "nah, nothing there"

@@rogerthat4545go find your own link. I'm not your secretary, but here's a clue: go back and check 2017 news. You will find it.
Really? Rump's attorney accused MC of making $$ off the antiTrump teeshirts which MC corrected. Ben Meisalus, Esq. of Meidastouch said on his platform that MC does not make one dime off those teeshirts! If I was a juror on that case, I would ?? Rump's attorney's credibility as far as lying for his client ! Btw I see thatAri has repeatedly accused MC of the same thing the defense claaimed re the teeshirts and Ari has yet to retract his statement against MC. That doesn't bode well 4 Ari's credibility either!
Did Michael Cohen actually get caught telling the truth??😂🤦🏼♀️
If it wasn't for Trump, msnbc wouldn't have any news.
It may not be a knockout but Cohen and this case is down for the count.
Not a boxing aficionado, but isn't that how knockouts work?
@@andrewstevenson118 You have to perform a ten second count before you call it a knockout and that is where are at. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Blanche did not prove Cohen didn't talk to Don the Con about Stormy. His claim he didn't is based on the flimsy premise that 96 seconds was too short. People speak at a conversational pace of 150 words per minute. More than enough time to discuss the harassment AND Stormy. Blanche's desperate gotcha moment will be destroyed at redirect.
Ari interrupts his guests too much. Always has. Come on Ari, chill. 🤡
The thing this man is trying to portray is not an evidence so it jas nothing to do with the case.
(too much to write, but basically disappointed in Ari and the guest that Cohen was leaning toward looking like a liar)
I heard it was a 14 year old boy. Bring in Trump's bodyguard
The lawyer says only one topic in 90 seconds is plausible as he laid out the whole case in 90 seconds...
A LOT of talking can be done in 90 seconds. Record yourself reading something from a book or article and check it out. Assuming of course that you don't speak exceptionally slowly.
Ari just admit you don't like Cohen.
This is a very weak lawyer.
It takes 5 seconds for Cohen to tell Trump that he took care of it. Literally seconds … not 90 seconds. I have no idea what this guy is saying … Cohen could have covered both in 90 seconds
Ari disappoints me with his recent slant on Cohen's testimony at the cross-examination. Makes it look like it's Cohen that is on trial, when in fact it's Trump.
Why is Ari ignoring all other corroborating evidence out in court about Cohen's testimony? Why??
Ari...I love you...But stop trying to make headlines
Black Donald J Trump not okay work vote 2024
Yeah no evidence of a crime either. 😆🤣😂
You're dreaming. It only takes one juror to not vote guilty for a mistrial.
Some other countries have an 11-1 allowance. I think that's a better way to go. It removes the influence of "one angry man". (Get it?)
So what? You aren't making a point.
In state trials such as this, statistically there is about a 6% chance of a mistrial. That is a very small chance it will happen. On top of that, if there is a juror that is simply going against all the others to blatantly cause a mistrial they can substitute an alternate and start deliberations over again.
November isn't that far off for Trump's official guilty verdict.
@@donadams8345 Is that right? Thanks for that.
I believe Michael Cohen discussed both issues on the phone in 96 seconds.
And this was stricken from the record by Judge Merchan.
I would have liked to have seen Michael Cohen’s reaction when Blanche in a louder voice say “You are lying”.
So many variables, tough to say since not in the courtroom.

This Ari guy seems to be on a mission; its seems like he have a malicious motive .
Wow, this guy is an absolute simpleton. Don't hire him as a lawyer. I'm sure defence lawyers make it a habit to grasp at straws, but logic is in short supply here. If someone says "call me." you can only talk about the last thing you texted? lol, he never talked to my mother then. If I texted her 'I need ideas for dinner tonight.' she'd say call me and then spend an hour planning next year's family vacation.
Also, despite being certain that every word Michael Cohen utters in court is a lie, he just assumes the text message is true? So basically his argument is that if Cohen didn't send a text about the secret criminal plot to pay hush money and then cover it up, and then call the guy and talk to Trump, they couldn't possibly have talked about the payment plan? Ludicrous.
I don't know, maybe he's angling to be Trump's next ex-lawyer. If so, I'd advise against it. It doesn't usually end well.
Why is Ari against Cohen? Someone hurt his ego?
