CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig reacts to the prosecution and defense arguing about how jury instructions should proceed in former president Donald Trump’s hush money trial.#CNN #News
How can you possibly say that Costello had a good day. It was a disaster. That, and Elie ‘s obvious bias, is why I’m done with CNN. Get a better evaluation at Meidas Touch.
Honig is a clear Trump supporter and the lousiest legal analyst on cable network. It’s obvious why he can’t find a real job in the legal profession. He’s terrible. Geez🙈.
All sorts of people keep saying "This has never happened before." or "This is unprecedented." But so is a President (now former) committing so many obvious crimes and then trying to hide them (obstruction). Don't do the crimes if you're not willing to do the time.
Anyone who thinks he's "obviously guilty" in this case hasn't actually been paying attention. Is he guilty of some crimes somewhere in general? Probably. But this case is so convoluted and clearly politically motivated. Their claim is that he knew 100% what the money he was paying Cohen was for, that it was 100% for campaign purposes (with no personal motivations), and that he intentionally falsified paperwork to make it look like it was just legal fees and not campaign fees. Yet during the trial Cohen admitted to stealing over $30,000 from the exact payments that the prosecution is claiming Trump knew where every dollar was going from. Obviously not or he would have noticed $30k-60k missing. Past that he is not the one that files his own business/campaign paperwork. And then on top of all that even if he was guilty of all this, this is, and has always been, a misdemeanor, but in this case they are trying to make it a felony just because it's Trump. This whole trial is obviously a partisan scam and it's so outlandish that it's pushing away lifetime Democrats like myself from the party.
Trump feels like he should be able to do whatever he wants because he was president. But this crime was from when he was running for president, so the immunity shouldn't count. Unless our corrupt s. court says Trump has total immunity before, during and after his presidency. Vote Biden/Blue all the way down the ballot. Then we'll have time for all of Trump's trials and maybe we can clean up a corrupt s. court too.
@@thehvachacker they can't - its a buffet - the legal system is not built to record the volume - the guy is a waddling crime spree . I remember I used to say felony a day but that was no way near enough
Worse has happened before. In my first election, the sitting President was impeached and found guilty of perjury, abuse of power, etc. Lied in front of a grand jury. He finished his term and served no time. Of course, he was from the legally privilege(D) party. I’ll still gladly vote Trump.
@@jp-nn6vrYes, we can believe in our jury system and HOPE that the defense did not get to them…..with threats, etc. Remember that Jared’s Criminal father interfered with. juror and landed in jail. Who knows what Jared et al are doing. l do not put anything past this grifter criminal family.

The commentators describe the trial as a contest between two evenly matched foes and a case that could go either way, a nail-biter. I’ve read the transcripts, and one thing is sure: the attorneys are all pros, all of them better than good. However, the prosecution built a strong case, and the defense is handicapped by not having one; Michael Cohen did air his sordid history and casual relation with the truth, but every salient point he made was corroborated in triplicate. Costello was a sour note in the defense, which was little more than the character assassination of Michael Cohen. The case is not complicated. If Donald Trump falsified business records intending to influence the election, he committed a crime. He did that. If any jury wants more than the evidence presented here, nobody would ever be convicted of anything. Of course., I thought OJ did it.
What blew Honig's mind wasn't the prosecution finding video evidence that backed up Cohen's story about phone call? It also wasn't the prosecution showing emails from Costello that showed he was working on behalf of Trump and Rudy the whole time he was talking to Cohen just like Cohen suspected? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. His analysis has been pretty poor and biased for the defense throughout.
Imagine being so delusional that you’re starting to think that even CNN is biased towards Trump 😩🤡🤦🏾♂️ maybe it’s time to step out of your liberal bubble and back to reality to realize that you have been investigating this man since 2015 trying to find something ANYTHING 🤡 There is not a single person who would survive nine years of investigation from all the three agencies of the federal government as well as state prosecutors including wires tapping and blackmailing his employees and people around him for dirt. When are you guys going to accept the fact the Trump is clean because I swear all of you crying that he has done so much crimes and should be behind bars by now would not survive a three minute investigation from the FBI before they find some weed or Coke in your drawer 🤦🏾♂️
I’ve honestly been glad to have his takes to temper my expectations about the case. Not because he’s arguing the defense’s side in any of these discussions, but because he’s pointing out issues for the prosecution that, in general, aren’t unreasonable ones to call out. He’s framing those in legal terms as opposed to the MAGA histrionics about it being impossible to get a fair trial in New York. I don’t necessarily like him, but I like having the counterpoint in the discussion.

When he speaks outside the courtroom he can spew whatever lies he wants. If he were to testify in his own defense he would be under oath, and thus liable for a perjury charge if he strays away from the truth.

And don't count your chickens just yet, there's still a long ways to go before Election Day. He is a dire threat to democracy and will not be reelected. MAGA is a minority who needs help from other voting blocs to get Trump in.
I think Haberman has got this one wrong. How can Costello's testimony and demeanor push a jury towards doubt about Trump's guilt? And where is all this talk of a hung jury? She's writing a novel at this point.
@@jenny6253 Get a clue. The judge has exercised restraint. Any other defendant with 10 seperate counts of contempt would be cooling his heels in a cell. Trump gets a pass at every abuse of legal procedure. Because ex-president. You'd be screaming 'political bias' if Trump were treated by the justice system like any other criminal.
Honig is despicable. He acts as if he is the only lawyer who knows a thing. Don't like him. I prefer Laura Coates and Norm Eisen...they explain the law much better.
CNN: Can you PLEASE get a right-leaning "expert" that has a LESS ANNOYING manner? I, for one, appreciate hearing both sides' view point, but this guy just grates on my nerves so badly that I can't concentrate on what he's saying.
Which one? The whole guest panel was carrying water for Trump. Both of the men were shilling hard for Trump. Maggie tried to give "both sides", but by doing so, she distorted things in Trump's favor to create an artificial balance.

It's funny how literally _nobody_ believed Trump would testify. We have arrived at the point where Trump's words mean literally nothing, and if anything, the opposite of what they would normally mean. A great quality for a president indeed...
The 2 lawyers here are now MAGA including Honig. Trump even mentioned Hoenig as a reference supporting his position in his last court post hearing talk. Congratulations, Honig, your application for a Trump cabinet position has been taken in.
Dear CNN: Bully Arthur doesn't belong on any decent show. His bombast sheds heat, not light. Y'all need to boot his butt. As for Elie, he's a one trick pony and the words that come out of his mouth are often wrong but never surprising.
Arthur didn't have his facts right as to why the previous judge narrowed the scope of what Trump could say in his last trial when he took the stand. So deceiving to the audience, and for them not to correct that. Switch to Medias Touch.

Maggie Haberman is a bit arrogant to me. I generally ignore whatever she is saying because she's got too much ego in the game. I do not think she is trustworthy or some kind of political guru.
Maggie Haberman thinks the prosecution will have a hard time getting a conviction, whereas trump has a very strong case against him. Haberman is wrong. The defense blew the case.
Acquittal has never been seriously considered - the extremely likely odds of a verdict have always been either guilty or a hung jury . So I think we will know quickly - if it is guilty a verdict will be returned quickly - if they are out for a while then all likelihood is a hung jury.

@@Cp3786 I am not Democrat or Republican. I observe the platforms of the candidates and vote based upon my interest. Because I observe I noticed that Trump has no platform but the groups who support him do. A few of those groups are powerful within the Republican party and they are actually beginning the pre-work to implement the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. I also noticed that he has lost 20% of the vote, in closed primaries, to withdrawn candidate.
CNN, please stop bringing the lawyer leans to the Republican side of things on air. I don’t mind having the political debate back-and-forth between both parties, but for this segment, I would rather hear from independent parties. Only this guy clearly favors Donald Trump every response he gives tears a hole in the prosecution and supports Donald Trump in someway. He’s not in partial. Bring him back on a segment where you have someone who leans to the left and he can lean to the right and let them fight it out, but in this segment, keep it independent
CNN NEW OWNER is a republican trump doner so yeah thats why its full of trumpers lying as they breath. CNN is complicit in ending democracy but trump wont remember that when he arrests them all lol
No. It was a campaign finance violation by paying Stormy to keep it quiet to hide it from the election, then paying Pecker not to print it in the Enquirer, then falsifying the records on taxes to make it appear like a legal consultation, which it was in a way but not so it could be written off as a business expense.
If you listen to people who accurately report on what's been happening in the court room that's is what the prosecution has been working towards. That was their entire point while questioning stormy Daniels and Cohen. I don't know what happened to CNN lately but ever since Fox started loosing viewers because they have been reporting 1/100 of the actual truth it's like CNN is trying to pick up those viewers by giving trump a more positive light.

@@Cp3786 Real charges backed by a millions of pages of documents and hundreds of witnesses. Adjudicated guilty of rape, $500 million in civil fraud, and his company adjudicated guilty of seven counts of felony tax fraud and ruled a criminal enterprise with a court-ordered monitor overseeing daily operations. Over a hundred of Trump's top officials, including his VP and cabinet Secretaries have publicly stated that he is unfit to be President of the United States. If you know anything about the views of the Founders regarding the moral requirements for holding the office of President, you would know that Trump is the absolute antithesis of a qualified candidate. In fact, Washington specifically perfectly described the kind of tyrant that would emerge from mindless partisan in his Farewell Address. It is a prescient description of Trump.

I can understand how its hard to make Trump. & his lawyer's dismal "defense" look anything but moronic and hopeless. I don't see why Ms. Haberman & Honig are trying to do so. All the facts are on the side of the Prosecution. All Trump has is screeching "Unfair! Unfair!" Call the Whaaambulance.
There are two sides, but they are not equal. And you should not equate them. Sure, it is possible that every house on a block is watering their lawns at the same time, but if every lawn is wet on a block, it is far more likely that it is raining. You are equating Trump's sprinklers with mother nature's rain.
In the US, there is concern if a media outlet doesn't report on the details of an ongoing trial fairly. Across most other constitutional democracies, there would be widespread consternation if the substance of an ongoing criminal trial was reported on at all until a verdict is announced. In the US, trials are public circuses. Elsewhere, they're serious and very unfunny.

i know nobody will care. but for my own sanity, this helps me, when i get things off my chest. in 2000. i was 16 turning 17 at the end of the year and a junior in high school. i watched cnn every single day up to that point. hours of it as a teenager. i was a dork. i was a republican then and thought cnn gave me the best-unbiased news at the time. as an intelligent person. i already knew even as a hardcore conservative and republican at the time and lover of Reagan (being a lover of history) and bush. lover of law and order, respected the justice system. capitalism, free market, government stay out of my business, keep your hands off of my weapons, low taxes, dominant the oil industry, follow the constitution. back then and still to this day i have always been personally pro life, but politically even as a conservative i was pro choice, sorry for respecting my mom and grandma and sisters and all the women in my life, sorry if that offends you. and i will be honest and forthright again, equality, is not a political issue to me, never has been and never will be, equality is not up for discussion and not up for debate, i will always be 100 percent for equality. and i was despite those beliefs i thought republicans were what was best for the country. and i was 100 percent set on voting for george w. bush at the time if i would have been old enough to vote then. and i remember the day he won, how happy i was. but predating this a little, starting in 2000, i noticed a shift, of cnn going to more conservative news, i noticed a shift that while the democrats used to be crazy, clowns, who didn't know what the hell they were doing and unable to lead. while i was growing up in the late 80's and throughout the 90s, though clinton outside of his drama was a decent president during his run of what 93-2001. thats roughly the time when the battle between which party wanted to be crazy really started. but with each passing day i noticed the republicans were starting to become the clowns, fox was basically full on propaganda back then and went full on russia china north korea mode back when obama first became a legit contender to become president. the shift was obvious to me at the time. and fox when trump won just went off the deep end of all eternity. getting ahead of myself though. mccain was the republicans last hope. i wanted mccain to win so bad. to me he truly embodied what it meant to be a good man, to be a good american, to be a good leader and to be able to reach across to the other side and bring people together and do the right thing. i hated obama. i legit fucking hated him. i was like where did he come from, not literally like you clowns, but was like what does he know about government? what does he know about leading? what experience does he have? which looking back on was about 100000000000000000000000000x more than Trump. the irony. but i digress. but obama won.and i'm going to repeat this next part often. because it needs repeated often. republicans said obama would never be their president. but i loved my country. i accepted obama as my president. i wanted obama to succeed because i wanted my country to succeed. republicans went live. openly said they would never support obama or anything he wanted to do even if it meant sabotaging america. they said that out loud. that really, really, really, had one of the biggest effects ever on me in my entire life. i think the only thing that has ever effected my life more was my mom dying. when i heard these things being said about my country and my president. i don't think i could state that enough to anyone. when i started hearing on a daily basis. one side of our country saying out loud, and if you dont remember this, or if you cant own up to this, and want to be ignorant about this, about when this whole drama we have right now about two parties working against each other, instead of with each other for america started, then go to hell. burn. because seriously they said out loud obama isn't our president, out loud we must make obama fail. out loud saying even if it hurts this country we will sabotage any policy he tries to accomplish. out loud. we will not pass anything he wants to do. i dunno about you, but something clicked in my head that day. they openly said obama would never be their president and they would do everything in their power to make him fail, and ultimately my country fail. and so i will admit that it was a rough two years, but despite everything, life started to be pretty good, and i voted for obama over Romney and it wasnt because romney was that bad, i disagree with romney on several things but i don't think he would have been horrible, but obama turned out to be pretty good, and you can have your opinion on that, and even then that wasnt the kicker to me. i didnt care at the time that obama was decent or doing okay. the only thing i cared about was the shift. republicans had started to become the circus party. democrats were starting to become normal. because, the shift that had previously started had truly shown its true colors when obama won. republicans went crazy. democrats went normal. and the last 6 years of obama this country started to do great things, make great progress, but we still had a ways to go. if we followed on being true to the american spirit for everyone. anyways long story short, i noticed cnn turn conservative in 2000 and i was okay with it for awhile, but when the two leading parties switched roles and republicans went crazy and democrats went normal, cnn went with the republicans. and they are now officially a right wing media conservative program. fox shouldn't exist at all and i'm not saying that based on any freedom of speech right or whatever excuse you want to come up with about being straight lied to every single day about everything. i'm saying that because they are full gone just dead as anything resembling a credible news source. read the text and emails they dont want you to see. they are just an extension of maga and they have been that way since obama won. msnbc is liberal. and they don't do a good job at all because all they do is try to talk down to you like you're five, and dont realize that you're just trying to come here as one of the last sources that can tell you the truth from a normal perspective, good, bad or ugly, but they just sugar coat everything and have their own agendas so unless you're able to be honest without yourself and take what they say and then make a decision for yourself, which i am, but i don't know about the rest of the country, so if you can't do that, then they arent worth anything either, and cnn doesn't do a good job now they have started their fox journey because the more conservative you are now the more of a liar and hider of facts and truth you become, because thats just what happens when at a given time in our history, your party starts being run by lunatics. i could list them all out for you if you want. bunch of social media wannabes who have no clue on anything is the large, large portion of the "republican" party right now. and thats a fact. cnn has started down the slippery slope of repeating what fox became. and the only place to really get news now is independent news sources who have legit experts on who arent trying to tell you what you want to hear to fit your bias, but just their honesty opinion based on their actually experiences, and simply show you the data, show you whats being done, by who, for what reason, what its supposed to do, and in many instances now, show you the facts, show you the evidence, show you what the law says, show you what history says, and then gives you their opinion on whatever slant they have and then as an honest to god american, you come up with your own conclusion. trump has been a criminal for decades. its not that hard.he is not a republican, he is not a conservative. he is not presidential material. he is a criminal. he is a coward. he is a traitor. he is a conman. he is a grifter. he is liable for rape, convicted of defamation, had escape goats go to jail for him in countless extremely high valued lawsuits for fraud at all levels, across the board, business, tax, he has cheated and lied and destroyed the lives of everyone he comes in contact with, and i could go on and on but this really isn't what this is about. and i hate biden. lets not even get that twisted. and as soon as you denounce maga for what it is and pick a real republican , i will vote for them because their are actual credible repubulicans out thre right now and there are some up and coming democrats, but there is absolutely no other democrat who is ready to attempt to lead this country right now, unless somehow, someone can duplicate the miracle of obama with no experience being able to accomplish things the way he did and the way he represented this country the way he did, top notch. truly always how a president should be. i wish it was anyone but either of these two. but one really is a deranged pyscho and one is just an old man who has a stuttering problem and hate him as much as you want and disagree with him as much as you want and whether or not his decisions, policies, and whatever are right or wrong, good or bad, he loves this country and he has decades of experience, and if its between trump and biden and you have to even ask yourself twice then, yeah i know its sad, but its not a hard choice at all. so if you''re not educated enough to see trump for what he is. then you don't even deserve to call yourself an american. lets move forward as a country and have both parties just be normal at the same time. and do whats best for this country for once. for everyone. FOR EVERYONE. yes. say it with me. again i did this for me. so i can stay sane and normal despite the maga cult right now.
Sure, the charges get very complicated when you have to scam "the people" and keep your defended on a tight leash hostage to your sociopath interests and there's actually nothing.

Following Harry Litman - talking feds ❤
All sorts of people keep saying "This has never happened before." or "This is unprecedented." But so is a President (now former) committing so many obvious crimes and then trying to hide them (obstruction). Don't do the crimes if you're not willing to do the time.
He committed so many crimes the prosecution doesnt want to say the actual crime
Anyone who thinks he's "obviously guilty" in this case hasn't actually been paying attention. Is he guilty of some crimes somewhere in general? Probably. But this case is so convoluted and clearly politically motivated.
Their claim is that he knew 100% what the money he was paying Cohen was for, that it was 100% for campaign purposes (with no personal motivations), and that he intentionally falsified paperwork to make it look like it was just legal fees and not campaign fees. Yet during the trial Cohen admitted to stealing over $30,000 from the exact payments that the prosecution is claiming Trump knew where every dollar was going from. Obviously not or he would have noticed $30k-60k missing. Past that he is not the one that files his own business/campaign paperwork.
And then on top of all that even if he was guilty of all this, this is, and has always been, a misdemeanor, but in this case they are trying to make it a felony just because it's Trump.
This whole trial is obviously a partisan scam and it's so outlandish that it's pushing away lifetime Democrats like myself from the party.
Trump feels like he should be able to do whatever he wants because he was president. But this crime was from when he was running for president, so the immunity shouldn't count. Unless our corrupt s. court says Trump has total immunity before, during and after his presidency.
Vote Biden/Blue all the way down the ballot. Then we'll have time for all of Trump's trials and maybe we can clean up a corrupt s. court too.
@@thehvachacker they can't - its a buffet - the legal system is not built to record the volume - the guy is a waddling crime spree . I remember I used to say felony a day but that was no way near enough
Worse has happened before. In my first election, the sitting President was impeached and found guilty of perjury, abuse of power, etc. Lied in front of a grand jury. He finished his term and served no time. Of course, he was from the legally privilege(D) party. I’ll still gladly vote Trump.
The worst thing is that so many people want trump to be president no matter how despicable he is.

@@Cp3786 Yawn. Not fake charges muppet, Grand Jury found them warranted. tRump is a tryhard fake Idol and you and the clowns keep 'worshiping' it.
The commentators describe the trial as a contest between two evenly matched foes and a case that could go either way, a nail-biter. I’ve read the transcripts, and one thing is sure: the attorneys are all pros, all of them better than good. However, the prosecution built a strong case, and the defense is handicapped by not having one; Michael Cohen did air his sordid history and casual relation with the truth, but every salient point he made was corroborated in triplicate. Costello was a sour note in the defense, which was little more than the character assassination of Michael Cohen. The case is not complicated. If Donald Trump falsified business records intending to influence the election, he committed a crime. He did that. If any jury wants more than the evidence presented here, nobody would ever be convicted of anything. Of course., I thought OJ did it.
Exactly - if they can not get a guilty verdict from this trial - it probably never should have been tried in the first place -
Costello did an awesome job of corroborating Michael Cohen's testimony!
What could they have possibly have been thinking to offer him as a defense ? knowing all those emails would be included ?? WTF
What blew Honig's mind wasn't the prosecution finding video evidence that backed up Cohen's story about phone call? It also wasn't the prosecution showing emails from Costello that showed he was working on behalf of Trump and Rudy the whole time he was talking to Cohen just like Cohen suspected?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. His analysis has been pretty poor and biased for the defense throughout.
He has been biased throughout this whole trial. He doesn't think the case should've been brought, and therefore, everything he says is skewed.
@@risajoesounds like you guys are the bias ones.

When are you guys going to accept the fact the Trump is clean because I swear all of you crying that he has done so much crimes and should be behind bars by now would not survive a three minute investigation from the FBI before they find some weed or Coke in your drawer 🤦🏾♂️
I’ve honestly been glad to have his takes to temper my expectations about the case. Not because he’s arguing the defense’s side in any of these discussions, but because he’s pointing out issues for the prosecution that, in general, aren’t unreasonable ones to call out. He’s framing those in legal terms as opposed to the MAGA histrionics about it being impossible to get a fair trial in New York. I don’t necessarily like him, but I like having the counterpoint in the discussion.

as a hardcore conservative and republican at the time and lover of Reagan (being a lover of history) and bush. lover of law and order, respected the justice system. capitalism, free market, government stay out of my business, keep your hands off of my weapons, low taxes, dominant the oil industry, follow the constitution. back then and still to this day i have always been personally pro life, but politically even as a conservative i was pro choice, sorry for respecting my mom and grandma and sisters and all the women in my life, sorry if that offends you. and i will be honest and forthright again, equality, is not a political issue to me, never has been and never will be, equality is not up for discussion and not up for debate, i will always be 100 percent for equality. and i was despite those beliefs i thought republicans were what was best for the country. and i was 100 percent set on voting for george w. bush at the time if i would have been old enough to vote then. and i remember the day he won, how happy i was. but predating this a little, starting in 2000, i noticed a shift, of cnn going to more conservative news, i noticed a shift that while the democrats used to be crazy, clowns, who didn't know what the hell they were doing and unable to lead. while i was growing up in the late 80's and throughout the 90s, though clinton outside of his drama was a decent president during his run of what 93-2001. thats roughly the time when the battle between which party wanted to be crazy really started. but with each passing day i noticed the republicans were starting to become the clowns, fox was basically full on propaganda back then and went full on russia china north korea mode back when obama first became a legit contender to become president. the shift was obvious to me at the time. and fox when trump won just went off the deep end of all eternity. getting ahead of myself though. mccain was the republicans last hope. i wanted mccain to win so bad. to me he truly embodied what it meant to be a good man, to be a good american, to be a good leader and to be able to reach across to the other side and bring people together and do the right thing. i hated obama. i legit fucking hated him. i was like where did he come from, not literally like you clowns, but was like what does he know about government? what does he know about leading? what experience does he have? which looking back on was about 100000000000000000000000000x more than Trump. the irony. but i digress. but obama won.and i'm going to repeat this next part often. because it needs repeated often. republicans said obama would never be their president. but i loved my country. i accepted obama as my president. i wanted obama to succeed because i wanted my country to succeed. republicans went live. openly said they would never support obama or anything he wanted to do even if it meant sabotaging america. they said that out loud. that really, really, really, had one of the biggest effects ever on me in my entire life. i think the only thing that has ever effected my life more was my mom dying. when i heard these things being said about my country and my president. i don't think i could state that enough to anyone. when i started hearing on a daily basis. one side of our country saying out loud, and if you dont remember this, or if you cant own up to this, and want to be ignorant about this, about when this whole drama we have right now about two parties working against each other, instead of with each other for america started, then go to hell. burn. because seriously they said out loud obama isn't our president, out loud we must make obama fail. out loud saying even if it hurts this country we will sabotage any policy he tries to accomplish. out loud. we will not pass anything he wants to do. i dunno about you, but something clicked in my head that day. they openly said obama would never be their president and they would do everything in their power to make him fail, and ultimately my country fail. and so i will admit that it was a rough two years, but despite everything, life started to be pretty good, and i voted for obama over Romney and it wasnt because romney was that bad, i disagree with romney on several things but i don't think he would have been horrible, but obama turned out to be pretty good, and you can have your opinion on that, and even then that wasnt the kicker to me. i didnt care at the time that obama was decent or doing okay. the only thing i cared about was the shift. republicans had started to become the circus party. democrats were starting to become normal. because, the shift that had previously started had truly shown its true colors when obama won. republicans went crazy. democrats went normal. and the last 6 years of obama this country started to do great things, make great progress, but we still had a ways to go. if we followed on being true to the american spirit for everyone. anyways long story short, i noticed cnn turn conservative in 2000 and i was okay with it for awhile, but when the two leading parties switched roles and republicans went crazy and democrats went normal, cnn went with the republicans. and they are now officially a right wing media conservative program. fox shouldn't exist at all and i'm not saying that based on any freedom of speech right or whatever excuse you want to come up with about being straight lied to every single day about everything. i'm saying that because they are full gone just dead as anything resembling a credible news source. read the text and emails they dont want you to see. they are just an extension of maga and they have been that way since obama won. msnbc is liberal. and they don't do a good job at all because all they do is try to talk down to you like you're five, and dont realize that you're just trying to come here as one of the last sources that can tell you the truth from a normal perspective, good, bad or ugly, but they just sugar coat everything and have their own agendas so unless you're able to be honest without yourself and take what they say and then make a decision for yourself, which i am, but i don't know about the rest of the country, so if you can't do that, then they arent worth anything either, and cnn doesn't do a good job now they have started their fox journey because the more conservative you are now the more of a liar and hider of facts and truth you become, because thats just what happens when at a given time in our history, your party starts being run by lunatics. i could list them all out for you if you want. bunch of social media wannabes who have no clue on anything is the large, large portion of the "republican" party right now. and thats a fact. cnn has started down the slippery slope of repeating what fox became. and the only place to really get news now is independent news sources who have legit experts on who arent trying to tell you what you want to hear to fit your bias, but just their honesty opinion based on their actually experiences, and simply show you the data, show you whats being done, by who, for what reason, what its supposed to do, and in many instances now, show you the facts, show you the evidence, show you what the law says, show you what history says, and then gives you their opinion on whatever slant they have and then as an honest to god american, you come up with your own conclusion. trump has been a criminal for decades. its not that hard.he is not a republican, he is not a conservative. he is not presidential material. he is a criminal. he is a coward. he is a traitor. he is a conman. he is a grifter. he is liable for rape, convicted of defamation, had escape goats go to jail for him in countless extremely high valued lawsuits for fraud at all levels, across the board, business, tax, he has cheated and lied and destroyed the lives of everyone he comes in contact with, and i could go on and on but this really isn't what this is about. and i hate biden. lets not even get that twisted. and as soon as you denounce maga for what it is and pick a real republican , i will vote for them because their are actual credible repubulicans out thre right now and there are some up and coming democrats, but there is absolutely no other democrat who is ready to attempt to lead this country right now, unless somehow, someone can duplicate the miracle of obama with no experience being able to accomplish things the way he did and the way he represented this country the way he did, top notch. truly always how a president should be. i wish it was anyone but either of these two. but one really is a deranged pyscho and one is just an old man who has a stuttering problem and hate him as much as you want and disagree with him as much as you want and whether or not his decisions, policies, and whatever are right or wrong, good or bad, he loves this country and he has decades of experience, and if its between trump and biden and you have to even ask yourself twice then, yeah i know its sad, but its not a hard choice at all. so if you''re not educated enough to see trump for what he is. then you don't even deserve to call yourself an american. lets move forward as a country and have both parties just be normal at the same time. and do whats best for this country for once. for everyone. FOR EVERYONE. yes. say it with me. again i did this for me. so i can stay sane and normal despite the maga cult right now.
Elie Honig prosecuted mobsters. He knows better. Wth happened to him??
He is stating the obvious. TDS sufferers are SICK
Sure, the charges get very complicated when you have to scam "the people" and keep your defended on a tight leash hostage to your sociopath interests and there's actually nothing.
Did you mean ‘defendant’?
Clarence Darrow you’re not.
@@hibob418 Yes. Was too short for: the one that you defended. But you got it 🕊️❤️
Lock Him Up!!!
Lock u up. I’m sure you have skeletons in your closet.
Won’t happen. He’ll be given full immunity from criminal prosecution by the SC.
In America, you have to be found guilty first.
TDS is strong in this one
@@user-zm5xi3tv5nHad Hillary been found “guilty” when Dump was starting every campaign stop with “Lock her up”? PLEASE! Absolutely LOCK his butt up!!!
Guilty as charged!!!
Stop the BS
Guilty of a misdemeanour book keeping only, know one knows what the other crime is😆
I watch far less CNN now than I used to, which is too bad.
Trump is showing disrespect to justice system
This isn’t the American justice system, this is some kind of banana republic BS!!
I give up on CNN. So bias.
whine louder !
Bye bye!
In this specific case where is the bias,maybe watch Jake Tapper
When is CNN going to actually start journalism again?..most of your stuff is not news.
They are well passed that now. Jeff did so much damage that there is no going back
so most of the time, don't watch ?
Fox paid nearly a billion dollars to Dominion voting systems for defamation.
Thank you, Maggie, for not letting that boor interrupt you. That was awesome.
What is the “other crime”?
CNN Has lost all credibility
The dems are in panic mode🤣. They know trump is winning so they’re election interfering by making up fake charges hoping that he doesn’t make it to the White House again🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They never had any.
You’re assuming they had any to begin with.
@@Cp3786. Where is the panic
Isolating ourselves into media echo chambers is dangerous, thats how MAGA formed. They're so isolated theyve created a reality separate from the truth. This could easily happen to the left if we're not diligent.
Where is the minute by minute reporting on Hunter today
Honig even looks like a guy destined to lose his law license to help his criminal cult leader. He looks the part and certainly sounds the part.
Yup, he has MAGA written all over that big forehead.
Honig is a strange guy. His takes are always more about his ego than reality. He misses a lot. Then Haberman sometimes tries to hard to balance what she says precluding actual thought.
For someone who enforces NDAs, defendant Trump sure is being a whiny little witch about gag orders.
EVERYTHING is a one way street with him
Because an NDA is benefits both parties a gag order is unconstitutional!!🤡
Why is she not asking Haberman obvious questions about her own involvement 🤔
I love Maggie Haberman & the way she stopped that bald guy from interrupting her
(strong yet polite more than he deserved)
Maggie informs the listener of the facts. Allowing the audience to make their own conclusion.
Thank you
Elie, as much as he tries, his bias is a well known fact, unfortunately.
Miss Haberman is Donald Trump getting to you blink twice if he is
I know right? I love Maggie but tonight she seemed decidely down on the Prosecution's case. After reading everything that went on today, Costello did terribly. "The emails are the emails?" They showed Costello was trying to capture Cohen in order to mold any evidence he gave. He's the biggest liar of all.
She was working for them, they would call her to get good press
@@OgOssman Totally agree with this.
She has neen a MAGAT since Day 1!
Yikes didn’t know he always said such horrible things about her go figure
I simply LUUUV IT when Maggie Haberman shuts down Uncle Fester's interruption at 9.07 by use of hand gesture and 'Hey'...........as in, STFU baldy..🤣
