Lawrence: Trump defense ‘has yet to say a single word’ about criminal charges against him 

IKR😂🤣👋

Same idea!! 😀👍

Lawrence O'Donnell should've been a lawyer.

So now you need help for the prosecutor? You guys are pathetic

Yes please!

There has not actually been anything presented during the case that’s a crime. It’s not a crime to pay for NDAs. It’s not a crime to have your attorney arrange for the payments and the details. It’s not a crime to take your attorney’s advice on how to do it. It’s not a crime to pay your attorney back for having done this. It’s not a crime for a bookkeeper, who isn’t you, to label those payments as “legal expenses”.

They all did a great job! Trump and allies are very grateful

Your dumb.....

He was a proven liar before this trial ever started. If he wasn't testifying against Trump you would be grilling him alongside

Destroying the credibility of witnesses is par for the course for both the prosecution/plaintiff and the defense in court cases. If the prosecution is relying on witness testimony to prove their case beyond all reasonable doubt, bringing the credibility of their witnesses into question is a common sense strategy for any good defense counsel.

@@xtreme1002003 exactly. And Cohen had zero credibility going into this. But they don't like hearing common sense

@@dreichert1438 cohens credibility is irrelevant.. this case is based on documents..

Thanks Karen.

@@videotalktalk for what?

Brilliant? 😆

@@neal5068 It is a crime to falsify business records and, thereby, corrupt a Presidential Election, which is why the Stormy Daniels hush money payment led to Trump being charged. And this trial doesn't rest on Cohen's testimony alone. There has been a lot of corroborating evidence, I believe, pointing to Trump's involvement in this crime. However, Trump's fate will be in the hands of the jury, so ultimately we'll have to wait for their decision.

You can’t be serious.

evidence of what. What crime are you referring to becasue the defense has not named one yet

​@@mackenzieJames-vk6stTRUMP IS NOTHING BUT CHEATER. RUSSIA INTERFERE WITH THE 2016 ELECTION SO TRUMP COULD WIN. THEN TRUMP GOES AND CHEATS ON HIS WIFE WHILE SHE IN THE HOSPITAL GIVING BIRTH TO THEIR BABY. TRUMP' IS A SORRY EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING.

@@mackenzieJames-vk6st of course the defense is not going to admit to anything. do you understand how the legal system works?

@@zacgvids Doubtful. All these 'where's the crime' people seem to have very low-information brains.

Ari and Cohen have a history.

Cohen and I also have a history. I watch him on the news all the time. What exactly is your comment about?

thank god you had someone to tell you how to see it and think of it. lol

​@@videotalktalklike dementia don does for you. The difference is, Lawrence has receipts. Cope and seethe, TRAITOR.

If it was so clear what were the elements of the crime? Who was defrauded, how was the accountant supposed to record the legal bill from an Attorney? Personally I am still confused with the smoke and mirrors?

Exactly.

There’s nothing to defend dude. Face it, this “trial” is a joke. If the shoe was on the other foot, you’d think the same.

​@ForgotMyDemonName can you explain what it was that was done? The prosecution can't seem to. 😂😂

Oh Really? What? I know you can't answer.

Even all of us can not recall the exact time a call is made, more it happened many years ago. The more significant evidence is how Donnie boys signature happened to occur in not just one check but nine

@@KaiserBladeFinancial statements, and statements from Trump’s controller, Jeffery McConney, and other employees (see Hope Hicks) explicitly showing/stating that Trump knew and was an active participant in falsifying business records. Furthermore, in a separate lawsuit, one that Stormy Daniels lost, Trump is on recorded stating that Michael Cohen paid her to shut up. I don’t even know why I responded to your comment anyways.

​@@KaiserBladeget educated and stop spreading Russian propaganda.

Exactly, what does the prosecution have? Did they prove that Trump conspired with others to promote the election by unlawful means? That is what they have to prove, I'm not at the trial, but haven't seen anything that I would say is proof. Cohen's word is the best thing they have and he self admittingly lied under oath before. I would be interested if you know what the proof is.

There are text messages that match the phone calls. The text messages were about the crank phone call. Theres no evidence he spoke to Trump as a matter of fact there not one who said Trump had any communications with any one of them . Also cohens council who has been relieved of client privileges has come out and said he lying.

Put hillary on the stand. Under oath. Put obama under oath.

Can't find him. Hmmm

@@-redacted_by_youtube go away troll

The defense has a much better option. Cohen's former lawyer set the record straight for Congress, and he's itching to do the same for the jurors.

It's called "putting all your eggs in one basket". Two minutes is probably as long as any phone call I've ever had. Men don't chat! I'm sure the prosecution can easily write a script to show how the two conversations might have gone.

@@fatroberto3012 it appears that is also about as long as the encounter between Trump and Stormy.....so what is their problem?? 🤣🤣

Agreed. There are 5 other calls, which the defense hasn’t said a word about, yet.

@@fatroberto3012 plus the reason Trump would have been more eager to hear from Cohen, were on matters related to Stormy and convo on 14 year old would be secondary.

Yes Ari is showing his unprofessional bias, Lawrence is in and Ari is out!!!

It seems like Ari has some beef with Cohen after the Avenatti interview.

different people have different opinions? What is this nonsense? Everyone must agree with everything I think!!!!!

Don't believe Ari.

Ari and Anderson Cooper are making this a big deal as if this really makes a big difference. If there wasn't the recording or paper breaking down the payments, it might be a big deal. However, there is all these other things that corroborate his story. I wonder if they are just trying to pump up ratings?

Yes yes completely agree with you!!!

He made Cohen' stutter and drop his head in shame.After he had to admit all the times he had lied and admitted that he knew stormy was lying also

It's really weird how white liberal women named Barbara compare as many things to babies as they can. You're clearly bummed that your kids don't call you, so you infantilize everything and reference it to babies and tantrums. If a football player caused the team to lose the Superbowl, and he gets upset, is he having a tantrum just like a little baby? Or does the reaction make sense?

Agreed. Opinions about character couldn't possibly outweigh cold-hard, factual evidence. Of course, that's assuming sanity will prevail.

😂😂😂😂

Youve been right all along. Thats why Trump has been in prison the whole time right? All you are doing is coming to the conclusion the media segment brought you to. Dont confuse that for thinking.

Yeah💗💗💗

Agreed. Especially considering that the call was about one major point (the payoff) and one minor point (the annoying prank caller). The minor point slipped Cohen's mind after all that time.

BNN are bending over backwards to bend over backwards.

Jesus..you pathetic losers are really getting desperate!

How? What crime? How should those private accounting records be recorded for it to NOT be a crime?

I don't know...I usually discuss 1 topic...hang up...callback next topic and so on😮😂😂

It's also going to get cleared up on redirect. The prosecutors will get the last crack at Cohen and have the opportunity to clean up the record on anything that seems squidgy for the jury.

The phone call was 1 minute and 36 seconds. Not a lot of time to have multiple conversations.

i can look on youtube all the times the dems and media say trump rambles on and on and never shuts up..but i guess this is the one time he said ok and hung up😂

@@angel_willow not a lot of time, no. but he'd been texting right before, right? so he only needed to give a little more information for the one conversation.

​​​@@neal5068 So you think Trump is going to get away with paying the $130,000 to Daniels as a completely legal matter?

@@JusticeAlways it is legal, it's called a non-disclosure agreement. They happen all the time.

@@neal5068 So he legally gets away with paying Daniels the $130,000 correct?

Also he cut him off from saying "he can have both conversations in that time period". Imagine that. A lawyer with all of the bad stereotypes except "fast talking". I think this is so easily defusable and almost paints the picture of how thirsty this defense is for a win of any kind in this cross. Give him 10 scripts with those two elements and see if he can do it in that time. As a sleazy NY lawyer I bet he can.

@@Dont.Call.Me.Tall. yeah, it was far from the purported “bloodbath.” It’ll square out in redirect

Think how many times he'd have to shriek about Trump's lies. Michael Cohen is an amateur compared to his former boss, Trump.

CATS, THATS TELLING THEM! BUAH HA HA HA....🤣

@@josephsonora3787 right… cats for president 2024…?

Will if justice prevails then president Trump will be found not guilty. when you get in the meat of it. You see that it was done by Michael Cohen to get a white house position. and when that didn't happen for him. Because he's a convicted perjurer. so he's now extorting president Trump and so is stromy.

except when you look into his case history, it's very strange. He received an unusually small maximum penalty of 3 years for 8 counts of crimes(many of which were federal). He then received an extremely rare judgement to reduce his sentence based upon information given... and then even stranger still, had the remainder of his sentence reduced to being monitored at home. What did he lose? nothing but a small amount of time and a portion of an unusual income amount. His sentence was to pay back the money that he had not reported and defrauded from a bank, but he had already received that money, just leaving him at a net zero income. The man got convicted of multiple federal crimes including lying to Congress (and banks, and the IRS...) but then received strange convictions for "election interference" for signing Non-disclosure agreements. The guy's a mess.

You do realize that people outside the USA are being fed 97% negative reporting by the Main Stream Media. Cheerleading a Prosecutor/witness in court proceeding on a minor records keeping accounting procedure that somehow ends up with a penalty of 134 YEARS in Prison make you seem uninformed?

But Lawrence is biased. He must makes his boss happy in MSDNC by twisting stories to fit their narrative even when everything is so obvious even a kid sees it.

Explain what Lawrence explained to you is the crime and why should a man face 134 YEARS in prison for an accounting error on $130,000. Who was defrauded? How is scheduling a payment to your lawyer a crime? What were the book keeping accounting errors? Trump paid the taxes.

@@KuriasFamily And, you're not biased?

@@billewilde1 I'll listen to him again, if you will, too. He sounded pretty convincing to me. Read some of the other comments before mine. I don't think I'm alone.

@@bevannala7812 Again where is the crime? Having a lawyer handle an issue you don't have time, skill, or interest in handling(legal)? Paying a lawyer to get a non disclosure agreement on an issue that started in 2011//2006(legal).Three men sit down, two businessmen, and a lawyer, they hash out a structured payment to the lawyer. Why? Probably because a. the businessmen wanted to keep the lawyer on retainer. b. the lawyer did not want a lump payment because he wanted continuous work(legal). The payments were made thru Trump's private accounts on separate private accounting sheets that were also handled by his private business accountants... that is also legal. The was no accounting discrepancy as neither the State or Federal IRS had any issues with the accounting(so no tax fraud). Who was defrauded(a necessary element of the charged crime)? Lawrence address none of those issues he rambled on about people being nice, then taxi medallions and then again a lot of other things that are immaterial or just not crimes like the Karen McDougal story being bought by a third party or are things not actually handled by Trump, like who created the invoices(Cohen), who recorded those invoices, a accountant(not Trump), and who signed the checks(many by not Trump)(signing a check is not a crime)?

But no one even knows what crime Trump allegedly committed.
