I never noticed this, but District Attorney Bond failing to call the Baltimore Sun for the perp walk was the first sign that he was really out of touch with the community and failed to understand that the jury pool would be influenced by the local media.
I always thought that the reporter who confronts Pearlman was pretty pretentious. The reporter acts like the Sun is owed the call and that the states attorney is supposed to know that the person who covered the state court no longer works for his paper.
@@TheRealMjb2k the reporters are very cringey… you can bet when I make a Wire Cringe compilation that the scene of Gus and Twigg talking about their inspirations to become “newsmen” will be competing for top 3 if not number 1. Gus with his trauma about his father ignoring him in favor of reading the paper “I want to be part of THAT” YUCK and Twigg saying something along the lines of I want to be like the guy on the bus who neurotically folds his paper… oof!
@@TheRealMjb2k The reporter was correct. The reason is the states attorney when they need to drive a narrative, will rely on the newspaper to help them by dedicating newsprint for information that they want to get out. It has to be a symbiotic relationship.
When Clay beat his case, Rhonda told Bond, "Whatever it is, they don't teach it in law school" shows how Stringer was way over his head thinking he was ready for the business world because he took a business class in community college . Clay had more street smarts than Stringer and he never ran a drug empire. The Wire had master class writing💯
I can tell you first hand that they barely teach anything useful in law school. It was an expensive three years that could easily have been achieved in one year.
Daniels was such a fantastic character. Continually shocked with how absurd the realities of his job was the further he went up the chain. Dude got made top cop of Baltimore by the end of his career and said absolutely not. He’s one of the best characters in the series
That's awesome, I was about to Google what actor played that character, little did I know.... Something about him struck me, and I'd never heard of/seen him before, turns out the dude is legit. Cool detail. It's like the lawyer from the movie 'Casino' was played by the real guy who defended the real mobsters in Las Vegas that the movie was based on. Oscar Goodman iirc.
The cop with the mustache who was in many scenes with Bunny (I forgot his name), was I believe a real cop who another character was based on in The Wire. Correct me if I'm wrong
Clay Davis. What a man! Along with the Greeks he was probably low key one of the most powerful entities in the Game. Basically immune to harm (Avon stopped Stringer offing him). He rips off the biggest and richest players with impunity and has the legal and state establishment doing his bidding. Like a political Omar although nowhere near as moral lol.
@@michaelmcfadden396 and a country club prison at that. Political scum rarely do any real time in a real prison like the rest of us. And they come out with most of the money and assets they went in with. They protect their own.
@@Carolina_FreshThe brisket supercut lol. Levy was the man. Originally you kinda take him for all bad. But then he lets his clients use phones (despite knowing it makes them VERY vulnerable). Lets slip to ex-police, Herc, about wiretap phone numbers. Neither of them accidents. He is self interested but not ALL bad imo.
That s sum subtle stuff, alla, Australian or one off those A countries, testimony from Omar, read by that smoke show lawyer, Ilene Nathan. Gawd dayum! What a broad! Got carried away, indeed.
I found it especially interesting how Daniels was fighting major crime throughout the show, but the biggest crooks in his life were his superiors and his wife at home
God I loved Clay Davis. The scene where he spots the media crowd and takes every fibre of his being to force a smile is one of my favourite scenes in anything I have ever seen. Never in my life have I laughed so hard at a TV show.
23:25. My favorite dialogue, even politicians don’t respect snitching😂 Royce did not like the fact clay Davis was even thinking about not standing tall
It definitely shows how the “snitching rules” apply almost everywhere and not just the streets. In politics you will probably live but your name is tarnished and you will never be able to squeeze another greenback out of the city.
I can't fault Clay's lawyer, Billy Martin (I think that's the character's name) for coming up with that defense. It's a brilliant strategy to use all the evidence that Bond has against him and then to say "so what? it all went back to the people in my district." He uses absence of proof to explain away the paper trail they built against him, and I don't know how they could ever get him on any of this. Shows how unprepared Bond was. And the thing is, even though we know Clay's a snake, we also know Bond is only doing this to raise his own rep in the city so he can become the next mayor after Carcetti. Rhonda did most of the actual legal prep work, and then Bond swoops in at the end and says he'll lead the prosecution.
Bond's ego led to the case's failure, Clay was able to sweet-talk the jury because they were from Baltimore. But he wouldn't have been to pull the "We have it hard out here" shtick if he was in front of a federal jury.
@@t8858x Rhonda would have been smart enough to send the case to the US Attorney General (the Republican guy working with the FBI), so Clay would have been dead to rights.
The lawyer had already decided to take the case before Clay walked into the room. He just wanted to hear his patter. Clay succeeded because he understood, better than anyone, the maxim, "They'll never remember anything you say but they'll never forget how you made them feel".
I’m just noticing at 28:06 Billy Murphy declined to cross examine Freamon who was lead investigator in the case which threw everyone off even Freamon looked puzzled, that told me the lawyer was bout to finesse tf outta they ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So, the Clay Davis jury engaged in jury nullification right? "We don't dispute that the Senator engaged in fraud, we just morally admire how he went about it."
@@ExTAzY101 Technically, yes. Although I read that if a defense attorney attempts to instruct a jury about it, it's like instant grounds for a mistrial. I don't know how it is in other countries though.
The fact that there was "sheeeeiiiittt" goes to show how masterful this edit is to emphasize that although there is humer to the man's character he is as dead serious of a politician as it gets.
Shows how banal self-interest drives much of everyday corruption. Even the US Attorney was after Davis for purely self-serving political reasons. He didn't care about the rowhouse murders or Clay's crimes in and of themselves.
The fact that Clay felt he could threaten such tells you in the grand scheme of things, Clay Davis doesn't even rank in the top 100. Because the people on that list know they're dead before they reach the second syllable.
Of all the characters of The Wire, none are more despicable as Clay Davis, a magnificent portrayal by Isaiah Whitlock Jr. Valcheck, Marlo, perhaps even Rawls and The Greek are awful people but the way Davis is so corrupt and basically skates is just so disgusting but realistic. And the way Davis olayed the DA is just brilliant and hilarious but horrible. Also, Lester Freeman is NOT a hump.
@frankienorthtroptriton4771 Levy. But he's a lawyer, he's doin what he's paid to do (bein a piece of crap defending criminals), that's why I negated him
The entire show is a masterpiece, but my very favorite parts are the detective scenes as well as the police work and political aspects of the production.
That first scene is hilarious, 'hell no I won't let you make a mockery out of our political party despite this guy being a tremendously corrupt politician!'
I’ve watched The Wire at least 5x, and I still marvel at how great the character names are: Avon Barksdale, Stringer Bell, Proposition Joe, the list goes on. Just one of many reasons that this show is absolutely brilliant.
Preserving the Wire in our collective memories helps us to use it as a primer to look past the pony and see the shit. There is plenty of that in our institutions-corruption, fraud, insider trading, pay to play etc. Great channel.
I've been binge watching your content for the last several hours. Great choice of storylines/arcs. One I've always thought would be good is the decline of the newspaper. Season 5's stuff. That was a great insider look at the decline of traditional news media.
I'm 47 and heard a lot of good, great fantastic lines from an actor and I have to say CLAYS?SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT, is up there 4 me if I get to be old ? Il remember this line and il laugh like I laughed 20 yrs ago give or take a few? Great line Great character 👏
Love 9:32 and the way his bag man speaks to him. You can tell they got up to a lot of mischief over the years if he can speak to his supposed "boss" like that.
The guy they name-check at 16:20, Doug Struck, was my journalism professor for a semester in college. Real prick, too. Fits in great at the Wire’s version of the Sun.
Great editing skills there. What makes this scene remix great is that the opening scenes don't contain Clay. This shows tension buildup where there was none in the show. Great job on this - you are shifting the dialogue to encompass the character in question rather than the opposite way how the show encompassed everyone. Borko has some competition!
Thank you for noticing the way I try to portray these storylines, I definitely do more than just pick scenes I like and edit them together, and you can see that reflected in how I cut scenes short to fit them together, like how it goes from Clay talking to reporters straight to Gus watching Clay, as that scene with Gus originally showed him watching Carcetti and bringing up unrelated dialogue.

I guarantee Clay did give money to poor. Politicians like him know how important a loyal base is in a city and how relatively cheap it is.
this edit shows just how good the show is
That’s one of my goals! Thanks
He studied the ancient art of slim shady.
Started off with Rawls now im watching em all good damn work! 👍
Really appreciate these long cuts! I am loving revisiting these major character arcs in this way, years later!
@@Kinase666 you are welcome
I've been binge watching your content for the last several hours. Great choice of storylines/arcs.
One I've always thought would be good is the decline of the newspaper. Season 5's stuff. That was a great insider look at the decline of traditional news media.
Sheeit! Edited extremely well, from start to finish. Like what you’re doing here. I’ve subscribed.
Thank you I appreciate it
MFer goes to court holding a copy of Prometheus Bound 🤣
What a great character.
“Prom-etus” lolll
15:16 look how he just turns that shit on like a light switch
Clay Davis underrated character
He's the sacred and the propane
He was like a 40 degree day
Thisbis the best way to watch this show. One person at a time.
@@JohnHunterPlayerr I posit that the best way to watch the show is the order of the episodes
This is the best movie I've seen in a while, thanks for the upload.
Thanks for watching it
Whenever im feeling down, i put this video on and it never fails to cheer me up. WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
Whatever it was they don't teach it in Law School... what a line
These compilation clips are great. They help me keep track of each storyline. So much happens in these HBO shows that I have a hard time keeping track
You could see Clay focus his chi to smile coming down those stairs!
“Ay yo! Listen here, Obonda! You come at the king, you best not miss!” -Clay Davis
I hit the corner of mosher and Pennsylvania best to believe my pockets bulging by the time i get to Robert's street 🤲
WE SHALL NOT BE, WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
Opps: this edit wasn’t that fire 😐
Me: Shiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeettttttttt 🔥🔥
I see two twin opps, leave 'em on a banner

I'm the vice president of a m..
Who tf isn't 😂
Little did we know he’s a rat 🐀
Clay Davis was the G.O.A.T. He was the melinated better version of Little Finger he just could slide through it.
He schooled the real littlefinger on how a master plays the game
9:57 focus mother fucka focus😂😂 such a Donell Rawlings line
I wonder if they let him improvise, like the “my b judge”.
The fact that he can say that to his "boss" makes me think they have been up to LOTS of criminal shenanigans.
@@michaelmcfadden396 he definitely knows where the bodies are no pun intended
Ashy Larry 😂😂😂
Love 9:32 and the way his bag man speaks to him. You can tell they got up to a lot of mischief over the years if he can speak to his supposed "boss" like that.
This is very well made thanks Buddy u earned a new subscriber
Thank you 🙏 glad you enjoyed it
I misread the title as The Tribulations of R. Kelly
I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless!
The guy they name-check at 16:20, Doug Struck, was my journalism professor for a semester in college.
Real prick, too. Fits in great at the Wire’s version of the Sun.
Nice tidbit, thanks for sharing
Great editing skills there. What makes this scene remix great is that the opening scenes don't contain Clay. This shows tension buildup where there was none in the show.
Great job on this - you are shifting the dialogue to encompass the character in question rather than the opposite way how the show encompassed everyone.
Borko has some competition!
Thank you for noticing the way I try to portray these storylines, I definitely do more than just pick scenes I like and edit them together, and you can see that reflected in how I cut scenes short to fit them together, like how it goes from Clay talking to reporters straight to Gus watching Clay, as that scene with Gus originally showed him watching Carcetti and bringing up unrelated dialogue.
