Hero: Cassidy Hutchinson.
Zero: Hope Hicks
Yes. Hope Hicks is just an opportunist and cried on the stand because she wanted to look like a victim. That's the whole Trump playbook.
True. The only information Hicks divulged in court is that which, against her will, she was compelled to divulge. Imagine how much we would learn about the shady goings-on inside Trump World were Hicks a genuine patriot like Cassidy Hutchinson.
"She sort of occupies this role as almost a daughter..."
And we know what he wants to do to his daughter."
Wow, talk about telling it like it is😉
None of this would ever have happened if he had chosen to remain a businessman and stayed in his lane…corrupt businessman? Yeah, whatever. Corrupt President? That’s a problem. Now he must pay the price. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
They must make him do the time.
Late night TV is Donnie's lane. Maybe he could go back to it.
People need to be educated and to have experience to be leaders esp. in politics.
To be fair to Trump he never expected the American people to be reckless enough to make him president
The worm who wanted to be king 🤴 😌 VOTE BLUE
Trump for Gravel Pit 2024.

Good one!
Next to Jimmy Hoffa.
I like that!
OMG - I might make a bumper sticker with that on it!
Lets keep the current law abiding president in office
REMEMBER,,, people of USA,,, you are in charge,,, vote Biden 2024
Yeah vote Bye den out 😂

@@lilfishbigsea007Treason is defined by US Constitution as "aiding or comforting" a domestic or foreign enemy. So many of us US citizens regard Jan 6th as an Insurrection, planners who plotted the "Stop the Steel" campaign as Sedition. Any US citizen, in my opinion and opinions like my own, regard Donald John Trump as a National Security Threat and Criminal - both on separate cases and issues. How anyone can defend him, I view that as Treason pure and simple like US Constitution is written for and by ancestors of We the People.
Top to bottom...that whole Party is rotten to the core.
The unlimited kool aid is strong
Both parties are. The Republicans are simply far worse.
Trump is the Great Corrupter. He ruins the lives of anyone and anything that is in his orbit. MTG gives the whole GOP games away "The policies of President Trump must be followed" : he's being treated like a monarch in temporary exile.

Not going to cry a river for Hope “Crocodile Tears” Hicks. Our democracy is hanging by a noose!
Asked her to be on the campaign? This creep has only one intention. He doesn't pick pretty girls for no reason.
Trump wants to say something is salacious. He should know. Facts matter. Do not cry for Hope Hicks nor Trump. Cry for America that we have sunk so low in terms of integrity, respectability out the window for entertainment and chaos. Vote blue
Agree 💯
ABSOLUTELY!!!
No one has the guts to point out that Hope got her job with Trump because she is super hot and has rich parents. If she has any real training or credentials, I would love to hear about it.
Absolutely! You can see his excitement when Hicks was around. He is so obvious. He doesn't look at men like that.
*Hicks was a teenage model, before following her father into a career in media and communications. After college and a couple of years' work in public relations, she became an employee of the Trump Organization.

Let's be honest - the average citizen would be sitting in a jail cell if we were accused of doing 1% of what Trump is accused of.
And what has he done? Besides accusations that haven't been proven!
@@keepingit8797well first off the accusations are kind of the point those will be proven in court. But if you're looking for what he would have done to get him in jail currently how about all the gag orders that he has broken and the only thing he has received as punishment are fines. Almost everyone else would have been in jail already.
Like what
@@keepingit8797 - He has already been found guilty in many trials. Don’t they tell you that on FOX? Get ready for this summer…it’s the end of all of you….better make plans you proud Maga folk….you ain’t got much longer…and now we know who you are…how stupid was that?
@@keepingit8797 If you're not familiar with his 91 indictments, you really need to expand your resource material
"Hope Hicks was complicit. Orange might be the new Black. She cried because she knows it."
Hope Hicks might be a horrible human being and as corrupt as ALL of them, but unfortunately she's not on trial. She made a deal with prosecutors so most likely she won't be prosecuted for her complicit role.

Donald Trump can’t face the truth.
Donald Trump is a tough guy...only on Truth Social
No, he can't. He obviously suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. People with NPD are incapable of taking responsibility for their negative behavior. They can take credit for good things they do, but they can't take responsibility for the bad things that they do. I feel sorry for people who can't apologize. It is not that difficult. "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I will try not to ever do it again," stuff like that. Good grief.
@@kimberknutson831 Further to that, DSM V says sociopaths might seem charming and charismatic at first, at least on the surface, but they generally find it difficult to understand other people’s feelings. They often break rules or laws, behave aggressively or impulsively, feel little guilt for harm they cause others, and use manipulation, deceit, and controlling behavior.
If they don't convict him, his new name will be OJ Trump
Face the Truth.....there is absolutely no truth in Trump. And he's holding about half of Americans in awe.
What's wrong with theses people.
Lock him up!!!
Waste of time and money? For whom?
As Katie said, "Sleep with dog, get fleas."
Zero sympathy for her.
In the sense that she's not getting paid for it so it's a waste of her time
I understand that.
The Trump Whisperer deserves ZERO sympathy.
Exactly
Trump for Prison 20-24 years
It’s absurd watching the Trumpers get excited about things they don't understand. Then when things are bad for them because of their own policies they tell everyone "Thoughts & Prayers!" instead of admitting that supporting 45 was a horrendous mistake.
Trump stripped down, he is empty upstairs…
Even Ann Coulter has said he is stupid.
Michael Cohen has definitely said that it was a horrible mistake to work for Trump. He said he got caught up in the crap that Trump spews and he’s well aware that it’s not something he should have done.
Yeah but what else can you expect from extremely dumb and crazy people? They think their stubbornness and defiance is somehow a God given virtue.
Precisely!
I Love Jen Psaki
she started crying because she's worried about herself. That's why. She should have backed out of that administration if she didn't want to be held accountable. It's not a waste of time. It's protecting the American democracy. She wasted her time and should have gotten a career and a proper education just like everyone else who doesn't have rich friends.
It doesn’t matter if trumps on record, it matters that he’s jailed for contempt!!
You people are fools!
Vote em out
more than that !!! Mussolini was a great guy to hang out with in the end ?
Wont go to jail we all know it
@@vtolzz6521criminals normally go to prison when found guilty of crimes.
Certainly agree, this trial is 'sordid' - reflective of Trump - sordid! Thanks for this interview.

We saw those same tears when Jenna Ellis was court ordered to write a fake apology as a part of her Plea Deal in The Georgia Case.
The scariest part is ,it only takes ONE juror…….😳
that pretty much never happens. several jurors as holdouts, yes, but all these folks are hearing the same testimony and humans have real trouble being the only dissenter in any situation.
@@nonya.bizness is it not possible that 1 juror is a trump supporter???????
Hope all the 12 speak unanimously and send him to jail.
@@susanjones5306 It could be possible but then being able to hide that from the other jurors would be almost impossible!
They will do their duty. I believe that. Not to Trump. But to justice.
Going way too easy on Hicks. Her only worry at the end of her boss’s term was her next job not the dead and dying hurt by him.
Her fiancé is a multimillionaire partner at Goldman Sachs and old enough to be her father. She wasn’t worried about her next job either.
@@user-mn8rg6he4y :: even if not worried about a job she liked to be in the spotlight; indications are that she really believes that GOP would win by having a man who could turn the media around his little finger.
@user-mn8rg6he4y thanks for that tid bit of info...Hope Hicks enabled Trump and is self serving.. what is her moral core?
Hope Hicks has no principles and shouldn't ever work in government again. LOL
lie on the stand in front of a judge and get prosecuted? Principles is when you tell the truth, not cover up for someone.
After throwing Dirty Don under the bus, who in government would hire her? If they have the propensity for criminal and shady activities, they're not going to take any risks with Hope. No unfortunately Hope Hicks will only get employment with extreme Right Wing media who can still use her for their extremists agendas.
She won't.
What RED has principles? Well there are a few .... who were booted out b/c of having some.
spelling correction: No Principles.
It's not difficult for anyone on the jury to think in this case that where there is smoke, there is a raging fire blazing.
Tears are the truth entering the scene
Nope. She's crying for herself. If she had any moral integrity, she never would have pimped herself for him for years.
Yup. She will never be able to wash Trump off. She could change her name & shave her head, but her obituary is still going to read “infamous secretary in corrupt Trump White House.”
That's what I think the reason was.
I'm sure she felt terrible. Trump was nice to her because he is a letch. He was Hitler to everyone else, but if you are a certain "type" of young pretty white woman, you are probably the ONLY type of person who doesn't have to fear his wrath.
She did not quit after she found out he grabbed women by P. She didn't cry when Trump was forcefully taken children from parents and families.
Donald probably petted her kitten too !!!😅
@@scotsmanofnewengland7713😂😂😂 you read my mind
Lawrence O’Donnell did an excellent job laying that out.
@scotsmanofnewengland7713 Yes that is where I listened to him talking about her. I gave and continue to give him credit for his outstanding read on her.
Um, not a nail in the D.A.’s coffin - that nail is in TRUMP’S coffin!😅😅😅
I noticed that, too. Rare for Weissman to misspeak.
Right now it's more like a nail in his foot. Donnie is going to be limping around in pain until the guilty verdict comes out.
He meant the DA's coffin for Trump. And yes, wonderfully rare!
You need to be talking about how Todd Blanche is pushing for a mistrial
The first time I ever became aware of the existence of Michael Cohen, years ago, he described Donald Trump perfectly. He stated that...from an intellectual standpoint...he would flunk the third grade. He has virtually no knowledge of science, history, mathematics or language. He would never turn in homework or complete assignments. He does, however, possess a trait of genius...the ability to cheat. I sort of chuckled and flipped over to the ballgame. Eight years later, Michael Cohen's words have proven to be 100% accurate.
I believe your right about Blanche angling for a mistrial.
@@marylaidlaw9883 Of course he will, it's they only defence he's got.
Every defense lawyer in Blanche's position would be pushing for a mistrial. It's a part of their common strategy. Right now Merchan has no legal reasons to even consider it.
Let him push. Mershawn is all over it.
Excellent, as always. Thank you.
Thank you all
💙💙👍💙💙
Hope gives us hope that his cult may begin to crack.
Nah, nothing will break them from him.They are too far gone🫣
Whenever Andrew Weissmann or Neal Katyal see fit to open their mouths about any subject on earth - I am more than happy to listen to them. I appreciate their wisdom, experience, and their humanity.
What were Ms Hicks' qualifications? She's young. She's pretty. That's it.
She made the mushroom twitch.
Yep!
And from a rich family.
@user-it8mt3zg9f 😂😂😂😂 more stories will come out in the future.
Hahaha!! She made the 🍄 twitch. Funniest and truest comment in the world!!
Hope Hicks is just as sleazy as everybody else that is in Donald Trump's atmosphere, COMPLICIT IN THE MOVEMENT TO OVERTHROW AMERICA SHE CRIED BECAUSE SHE GOT CAUGHT UP WITH THIS MESS, SHE DESERVES NO RESPECT AT ALL
Yeah, she is really dumb but did get away from the ahole anyway.
Sleepy dementia trump: If i dont win, it's rigged, but if I do win, it's not rigged lol
He will accept the results - as long as they go in his favour.
@@sprig5173 Sounds like a Putin quote.
🙄heard it all before
Her crying is a tactic to avoid accountability. Crying is always used as a mechanism to change the atmosphere quickly.
White woman crying, ya mean.
Or, sometimes, tears are just a release of pent up emotions.
Ashley Parker's explanation as re Hope's tears is the most believable that I've heard.
I don't care if she teared up, she deserves no forgiveness or mercy for her part in it all.
Hope Hicks Career Is Ruined .......
She Enjoyed The Benefits, that's why she stayed.
Those Tears 😢 Are Because She Was Found Out.....
Hope was part of the Trump's team, she knew about his monkey business
@@pablopeter3564 Ook?
She's very good friends with Ivanka and Jared. ENOUGH SAID!
She grew up wealthy. She doesn't need a career😂
Totally agree with you!
She's an Adult and could of walked away from the Trump crime family many times over the years!!!
Hope was part of the Trump's team, she knew about his monkey business
Listen to these idiots. She cries because she is scared. She betrayed the don. Why don’t you all get this? These people all have families.
Trump is a family man, too. And I'm not talking about his wives, kids and in-laws. I'm talking about the other sort of family he got involved with back in Queens.
@@ericlipps9459 he’s passed ways to get off this over and over. Any think he hasn’t seen what happens to Russian agents that turn or fail?
I do think that was one facet: everyone is terrified of Trump targeting them and their loved ones for Maga attacks, with good reason. One would probably never feel safe again.
Thank God for the brave patriots upholding the system despite the danger.
For a woman to look at someone that sleazy and misogynistic as a father figure...something wrong with that woman.

Hope is obviously conflicted, pushed by poor judgment and her own personal ambition
Love Neal! Greatest hits😂😂😂😂😊
"Emotional" crocodile tears. She was thinking about all the good times she'd had helping the boss on those long nights behind WhiteHouse doors after he'd wasted the days on his golf courses. Those good times she'll never have again.
You sound sick......get a life.
Narcissists cant feel warmth and affection. Hope may be capable of it, but Donald was merely manipulating.
Are you all sick of this,. Please. Put him in prison. Having 3:36 Money should not the law.
I LOVE Ashley Parker!!
I can only hope that justice is served!
Mitch McConnell is responsible for all
A horrifying amount, certainly.
😢😢😢 she was and is complicit. She's crying because she is now a visible accomplice. To his shitshow
I think Hicks is well aware of how people who turn on Trump are treated by Trump and his base. Which seems to have been fine with her all these years, until now it might be turned on her. That's what the tears were about.
He doesn't want them (family) watching him get turned against and slaughtered.
She’s embarrassed. I think she is crying for herself. She got what everyone else gets when you’re in that idiot’s circle
He was so worried having affairs lol
But he couldn't help himself .. narcissistic personality's never do ..!!
JUDGE, I IMPLORE YOU, REFUSE THE MISTRIAL REQUEST. CONTEMPT FOR HIM AND HIS TEAM.
PLEASE, LORD!❤❤🎉🎉
“He sees her as a daughter”….erm ok we all know what that means. Gross.
Just waiting for "My dog stepped on a Bee..."
To be honest put him in jail. For all his doing for women's that's not concerned to be touched inappropriate. Just because he was a president. Not body is above the law if you commit pay the consequences. Donald Trump is not above the law.
We need Judge Judy on this case!
She cried when she realized that she was caught and the American people now know her dishonor.
👍 JEN PSAKI 👍
I would listen all day to what Neal Katyal and Andrew Weissman have to say about whatever crosses their minds.
I don't understand why Cohen had to pay the money from his pockets. If trump is really a millionaire, why didn't he pay himself?
Because Trump never pays for anything. He's ditched campaign stops and left the tax payers the bills. Trump doesn't pay anything personally. Which is why he uses illegal means (using business monies) to hide his acts.
... Because they THOUGHT they could bury it ... HOPEFULLY they wont get away with it, but I'm not confident ...
The entire ordeal was to cover up and hide Trump's indiscretions. The ONLY mistake Trump made was trying to fake his payments back to his lawyer Michael Cohen and AVOID PAYING HIS TAXES!! He has done this for decades!! This is why the justice department wants to bust his a$$! He didn't pay uncle sam!! See what happens to YOU if you try the same thing!!
Thats the crime, he paid it in a convoluted way to hid it, then tried to write it off, through the business.
Because then Trump would be directly tied to the situation.
He wants to deny ALL negative aspects, So he denies Everything.
Hope -- Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us...A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.
--Barack Obama
Can you even imagine trump trying to string together similar words of encouragement during uncertain times to the public?
Nope😂
All that matters is that he goes to jail. The jury and judge can have all the evidence in the world and still let him go. A huge part of me expects that to happen, and I'm not alone.
We love the TRUTH Jen and guests…. 👍👍
Lock him up NOW!!!
I think he meant to say the phone calls would be in the Defense's coffin. Showing that Cohen spoke to Don Schitzenpants on the same days he made the transactions would help the prosecution.
Still, Hope had no integrity.
Wow!
She cried because her disgraceful support for a criminal monster is crashing down in shame and disgrace.
Weissman makes an excellent point on how the prosecution will use the fact that Cohen "was not a charitable" guy to show how Trump was the driving force behind committing the felonies.
Will Fanta face be invisible in an Orange jumpsuit?
No legacy is so rich as honesty.

My gut reaction to Hope Hicks is bafflement and disgust that a woman like Hicks could look up to Trump and actually respect him. She must have been really naive.
Name one lawyer that does stuff for free
Trump always micromanages everything.
Neil and Andrew are the Best
Hicks at the stand is a major 'hickey' for the criminal Dozy Don.
Reimbursed to the extent of over $400,000.
$130K reimbursement, $130K to cover the tax component, $140K for "legal" services. Then donnie _still_ had to cheat by falsifying business records and putting the whole lot down as Legal Expenses. He brings everything on himself.
So, if he is convicted will he get prison time? And if he does, will he have to serve it immediately or will they give him bail pending appeal?
fined, as usual.
Anything is possible. Heard someone say that if convicted he could be taken to jail right then and there BUT most white collar criminals are let go to get their affairs in order, then come back for sentencing. Knowing donald like we do he’ll appeal and it’s up to the judge if he can stay out of jail pending the appeal.
Andrew Weissman ALL DAY LONG!!! MORE PLZ!
Guity as charged and should also convicted of perjury .
Civil cases are better than criminal cases. Tariff quota trade & Right to Work legislation is good labour policy for non union workers.
Get the violin out, another saga of doing as he pleases; at the people’s expense of course….
Fantastic!!!
Hmm, might be more there than what meets the eye. I meen why does Milania hate her so much??
She's also a victim. Of his advantage. Or she would be fired.
