#DonaldTrump #RobertCostello #hushmoney
So much to say in the hallway and on social media, but not under oath. Speaks volumes.
💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Exactly! Well said
Yes it does. He is full of it.
He said he would march too, what a blowhard.
Not really. Defendants rarely testify in criminal trials.
All I saw was a coward slinking away...
Like a slug.
Fleeing from the Salt of Truth.
@@jamesvonborcke
Ooh, touché.
Like Norm Eisen. He ran to the side of a cop when confronted outside the court building.
🐍
Costello was the perfect mistake. Thanks DonCon.
I just got home after being chased like an animal, and mercilessly hurt. Most of the people in the hotel are collaborators. There's a guy moping around the clock. In reality, he's not cleaning, he's dragging me... It's horrible that something like this is happening at a place where I'm supposed to be safe. I'm in the lion's den. They just can't wait to do away with my life.... May all the plans, and desires they have for me, the Miighy Hashem in His Great Justice Abundantly, in Avalanches blesses them with everything they want for me....
@@KateLopez-ys3ndwhat?
Was that Abbott an Costello?
Literally everyone outside of your echo chamber thinks this trial is a joke. But enjoy your echo chamber.
Trump just wanted him because of his Congress testimony and he's clearly another Trump lacky hoping to impress dear cult leader 😂
He CHOSE to be silent! He was NOT gagged or prevented from testifying!
And the judge made it absolutely clear to him that the gag order did not prevent him from testifying.
Why would he testify? The state needs to prove guilt.
@@imrael496 In theory he would testify to prove his innocence. In practise - he isn't innocent.
Not true
He chooses to be a blistering blowhard coward.
Make trump irrelevant again!
👍👍
MTIR doesn't quite feel as catchy but I'm with ya
TDS 😂
Best. Comment. Ever. You win the internet!
Then you wouldn't have a life
Diaper Don promised he would testify. What a pathetic joke.
I expected nothing less.
Who actually thought he had the balls to testify?
All bark and no bite! 😅
Did you believe him?
This time he could run off to Scotland on his plane.
Now Costello's testimony is the jury's last impression for the next week.
Yes remember what he said 2
My theory is that Costello told him he could create a circus--and that is what the orange buffoon wanted before HE would testify. But the judge showed "No circus here" and only THEN did he finally decide to take the Fifth.
By the way, I don't think the good lawyer was in on this scam. I bet it was Costello's idea.
He is constantly claiming that he is innocent, until he gets the opportunity to say it under oath.
He hasn't once claimed he was innocent. He's said the whole world is against him, biden, ag, doj, merchan, the jury, etc, etc. Everyone is lying, everybody is a political operative, blah, blah, blah.
But to my knowledge, he has never actually said "I didn't pay cohen $420,000.00 as part of a scheme to buy the silence of stormy daniels from october 2016 to jan 2017 and then attempt to obscure those payments by reporting it as income instead of what it was."
Oh, I'm once again shocked. He never passed up an opportunity to speak - except when facts actually matter!!!
As a Biden supporter, I'm saddened to say this case is all but over. Even the CNN panel says the prosecution simply had no case.
True....9% Inflation? why do you not look at joey biden?
Dream on, the crooked tRump knows very well that he can't talk without liing, and so he was just blowing air as well all know. He's nothing but a lying BUM.
He's a coward and refuses to face reality! 😠
Well, we all know the case isn't legit, so.....
THANK YOU for referring to him as "Defendant Trump". It's amazing how many commentators cannot get that right.
*future president.
I can't even look at him as former President. Coward. Lacking heart and soul.
@@kelperdude
lol
Recycling GOLUBOIzzzzz 😊
I like Former President Defendant Trump.
But that's a mouthful so let's go with Defendant Trump or just Defendant.

Heaven forbid he say anything about his "innocence" under oath
They dont allow me too speak~~the stand is all yours.....crickets~

Time to recognize that trump is old and obese!
@@bobdolesghost2406 I see what you did there but dream on....
I agree biden be getting away with things for years
What happened trump said he would testify and had every opportunity to do so but he blames the judge and Biden and the Dems
As everyone predicted. How boring.
Crybaby Diaper Don is guilty of election interference.

@@kelperdudekeep deflecting for the orange coward.😂😂
@@kelperdudeget ready to cry those MAGA tears harder next week.
I am so grateful for Mr Weissman’s explanation. Thank you , sir.
He's gunna throw a fit if they escort him out of the courtroom in handcuffs, taking him into custody. I would give almost anything to see that happen.
I'd love to see that but his sentence will be held on a different day. But he definitely belongs in prison. The sooner the better.
You’d give almost anything to see this?? That’s pretty extreme…
I don't know if you have noticed, but there are no cameras in this courtroom.
Every case that involves trump should be televised, for the good of the country.
I heard on The Meidas Touch that the Georgia case will be televised.
@@p.j.m.d.1948tha’s correct, Georgia Law allow for that, but the US Judiciary don’t allow any type of filming or photography.
Oh,absolutely.
That way everyone sees the rigged injustice towards Donald Trump
Absolutely! So we can all see the sham of a trial.
Not really because public opinion could sway the jury, so I agree it should be taped and then released after the verdict.
Costello was a terrible witness, but let's be clear, defendant Trump would have been much, much worse.
But trump testifying would have been a great thing for law students. They can read the transcript and try to figure out how often he violated the gag order, how often he answered questions he wasn't asked, how often he insulted the judge and his family, etc, etc. You could teach a whole law class off this one testimony.
@jd190d The gag order does not apply during testimony. Only when he runs his mouth outside of court.
@@302Diane ;
According to drumpf it does!
@@guynorth3277 Are you surprised that Drumpf lied again? Or maybe I should say "still."
😂I was so looking forward to that! Lol
Thanks for having Mr Weissman on your program. Two of my favorite lawyers who report the facts accurately. Facts matter.
Judge Merchan has been a miraculous representation of our Judicial System and how important it is to our democracy!
And he will do his job until the end of this sorry debacle. Very good Judge. Let's hope he hands down a custodial sentence...
this man just may have saved every single one of us! a true 'Flash Gordon' :)
Trump is like his base.....cowardly.
Mmm, I would have said stupid, but cowardly works, too.
Lock him up
And a billionaire,
Bunch o' beavers
Donnie is the alpha Karen.
that costello clown was a gift to the prosecution. He literally defined the conduit between trump, rudy, and cohen. He CLARIFIED the crime. Perfect maga faceplant for trump - so so sweet
💯 💯 💯 💯
Blind, cant you see is all a set up?? Cohen is a liar and a thieff, why is bragg not judging cohen??????
Agreed!
The gift that keeps on giving.
Cohen admitted to perjury and stealing on the stand. But keep being naive.
No, no. This is not a conversation. Costello was admonished by Judge Merchan letting him know he was in contempt.
Jail jail jail
As soon as he is questioned, he walks away but as long as people and the press are listening to his Rants, he's in heaven & goes on and on.
A typical coward he is
He hates when he can’t lie and control the narrative.
@@bobbykiriakidis9753 isn't that what Joe does? He speaks, answers softball questions, and then scurries away when any pressing questions arises.
Why he will never debate.
@@DisaffectedLiberaldo any of you realize how all your criticisms are things Trump does? He would insult reporters from networks that opposed to him. He would call the women from CNN "nasty." In some cases he took the credentials from reporters and excluded them from news conferences. Such hypocrisy
The former President said, he will be testifying. Why wont he keep his word to the people?
Because he's a liar. A pathological liar. He wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him in the face.
When has he ever, did you ever see any type of health care reform, infrastructure improvement, or a freaking wall built and paid for by the Mexican People?
Why would he start now?
@@reginaphalange7959 Donald Trump is not White house, presidential material.
Because he lies about everything. He's just a very bad person.
I appreciate Andrew and his commentary.

Guilty should = jail. Period end of story.
Could be wishful thinking.

Probably many subtle things.
Citizens United - it handed your goverment over to corporations with no _raison d'etre_ but profit.
It's actually not the 1st time (and Donald Trump is just a "Potential Candidate" and is not yet on the ballot.
Indiana Senator Eugene V. Debs was a Presidential Candidate (on the ballot for the Socialist Party) for the 1920 Presidential election. He was serving a 10 years sentence in an Atlanta penitentiary and badly lost the 1920 presidential election.
The Court in recognition that he was a Presidential Candidate allowed him to to get up to date news and political information and to hold a press conference every week.
Note that the "Farmer-Labor Party Presidential Candidate was Parley Christensen, and the "Prohibition Party" Presidential Candidate was Aaron Watkins.
Republican Senator Warren Harding of Ohio won the 1920 Presidential Election by defeating Ohio Democratic Governor James Cox.
Billionaires who don’t want to pay more taxes and dictators who don’t want to lose power.
I love when 2 brilliant lawyers talk law. It's fascinating.
Beware the innocent man that won’t profess it under oath.
I would have yelled out “Are you too much of a 🐱 to testify??”
👏👏👍
Have faith.
This is taking place in NYC, I have no doubts that multiple people have screamed some variation of that at him, as well as "flip ya life."
I'm sure even the local rats stopped munching on strewn about pizza slices to flip off Trump.
I would have been arrested!! lol
There's no need to. The whole case has collapsed. 😃
Don't say that about my Orange Jesus...I just bought one of his Bible for $69.
trump is afraid to be under oath.
DJT Defence Rest and so does Nap Time, but NEVER a REAL Jail Time
Watch this space!
Why so many pens in 1 coffee cup? I’m seriously asking for my own mental health…
He walked away because he's a coward & a liar.
“Defendant Trump” still sounds SO good. 💙
And soon to be upgraded to convicted criminal Donald Trump
Convict Trump sounds better and IS good.
And the "cherry on top" his own lawyers betrayed him today by having their own witness TESTIFYING FOR PROSECUTOR
"Convict Trump" would sound better!
I think Prisoner would be better
Not nearly as good as convict or inmate trump will. 😂
I have no idea where the legal basis is that different jurors can agree that different crimes were committed but not be unanimous on a single crime. That sounds very unconstitutional!
What, no lies about how he’s not allowed to testify??
I don't know why anyone would think this had anything to do with Melania. She knew he cheated on his first wife with his second and his second with her. She was well aware he was not a faithful man from the start. She knew he whored around. What point would there be in trying to keep that from her if she already knew?
She's just a foreign escort, she doesn't care or never cared Donnie is just a paycheck.
Liberals have never accomplished anything that made this country better. Christian men won every victory that made this nation better, Glory to God!
Incredible we find ourselves at this point thinking back to 2016 all these things were happening under the radar, but this jury could actually hold him accountable for this and prison could follow. Just incredible..
He got away with more than he was busted for.

The lefts smell of desperation that there may be an election in November is palpable.
We all knew he would not and his mouth keep saying he would. what a loser! Trump is done! He is the biggest joke of the century !
A person who has non-stop been lying to people, repeatedly violated gag order from a judge, then refused to do the most important thing to prove his innocence, ie testify in front of juries...that would question his innocence from whatever angle we look at the court case !
If I was facing charges there is NO way I would not have took the stand and said I'm innocent. Only the guilty stay silent and walk away.
If you are innocent you do not testify; it is law 101.
@@artandarchitecture6399 BS

I think Trump's lawyers put Costello on the stand not only to please Trump, but to show him what would happen if he testified.
Ari should just let Andrew Weissmann speak. Weissmann speaks in clear terms. There is no need to paraphrase or make metaphors about what Weissmann is talking about. The audience is not stupid.

I think the jury could tell for themselves how guilty he is, and especially the way he’s so dismissive of them and everyone else around him including his lawyers and the Judge. New Yorkers aren’t stupid, and they don’t like him because of his history in NY of not paying the contractors and others who worked for him. He’s a fraud and they know it.
