Trump's Only Witness Lies and gets Scolded by Judge as the Defense Rests 

The trump fanboys conveniently forget he said this

One of the only time s he told the truth and when he said he loved the uneducated

😂 👏🏼 😂 👏🏼 EXACTLY!

A-good prosecutor could ask that with proof not without objection but with receipts could work

@@Peace.Beyond.All.Understanding they forget 99% of what he said and if you bring it up you’re taking him too seriously and he was joking. Yeah, sure he was 🙄 🎪 🙃

Haha yeah, absolutely

lmao yes he's always been his own worst enemy

That would have been so worth seeing. I'd pay to see that.

sheep

Lol

God bless you. I know EXACTLY how you feel. God loves you and created you perfect! He has plans for your life: you’re here for a reason!

I gave up my dreams of being a lawyer too, but I did it because my mother had medical issues. She had a major stroke when I was in highschool, but she needed full time care forever. I still went to college, but I didn't go for a rigorous field so I had some time to help with her. She's 74 now and is needing more and more help every year as she gets weaker she can't even get onto the toilet from her wheelchair by herself anymore and my dad has become disabled too in the past few years so he can do less and less. To top it off I'm also a single father to a teenage boy. Lol. My life is now taking care of others😮😊

At least you are smart enough to follow all of this!!

Awesome to you for continuing to work full time while being on dialysis! Are you currently pursuing a kidney transplant? I feel that patients on dialysis don’t get encouraged enough on this topic 💕

@@Boggyboytad you sound like you’re doing an amazing job.

What kind of case? I want to serve jury duty. It's on my bucket list. I've been summoned twice but both cases settled before we could even show up.

​@@tracyhaverstick5672you want to serve jury duty? Why? I've served many times and it's boring AF.

@@sharonharris9782 Absolutely. I consider serving an honor. I also am a person that can put aside my personal and political beliefs and decide a case on the evidence only. In every case, no matter how "boring" as you stated it was to you, it means a great deal to someone. If I can provide justice to someone, no matter how big or small, I think it's very important work. In a country based on law and order, it's the most important work one can do.

​@@tracyhaverstick5672well then I hope you get your wish. Most trials are short,boring, etc. So, I hope you get that big criminal trial that you seem to want.

@@sharonharris9782 Thank you. That was nice of you. I'll be happy with any case, it's serving that is my goal and wish. I wish the best for you.

Yup, and he’s auditioning for Trump’s AG spot. These lying, con idiots, will say and do anything, to get their hands on power and greed. Look at all Barr did, until Jan 6th. Then he was NOPE, I’m out. What’s the total now on how many lawyers have lost their law licenses doing Trump’s bidding?! 10+ 😂

You can also tell his lawyers were acting at his direction. These are not incompetent lawyers. Yet they said things that were just ridiculous.

@@emb5048 I think, in the end, they have proved themselves to be incompetent. Because the knowingly hooked their careers to a man who is so obviously a crook, and they did it for money and hopes of power. That shows an incompetence in their thinking, as well as a complete absence of ethics . They became mob lawyers.

Yes he looks better without the beard

Thank god he's not wearing a red tie. 😂

​@@cleanmyshortsdavidtrucchio4502I loved his beard! But I've always preferred hairy men. Lol

He looks sharp as heck with both looks. He's the kind of man who takes amazing care of himself and his surroundings. Suuuuuper attractive and impressive. I'm so curious how lovely his home is, considering how clean he is. I glad he can't see mine at the moment.

Always.

If you change your mind before doing something foolish, that doesn't make you a coward. I guess prisons are full of brave people.

Why would he? The prosecution literally made trumps case for him. Hahhahaha. Cohen ended it

Doubt that was cowardice so much as him actually listening to a lawyer for once.

@@targgthewise2892 The defense did a terrible job. The traitor is toast.

Every trial he’s done, he has said he will testify. Of course he will Then at the last minute he takes the 5th. Wasn’t it Trump who said at one of his press conferences a few years back that cowards and mobsters take the 5th. If you’re innocent why are you scared to testify. It’s his right not testify & if i was in his position i would be 🤐 But this is Trump. He states only cowards & mobsters don’t testify. He’s been complaining non stop saying he’s not allowed to say anything. Even though that’s not true. When he is given an opportunity to say what he wants, he pleads the 5th. He is ridiculous. And I’m watching this from the UK so I don’t vote in the US. I’m just totally fascinated the puppet show that is the Republicans. Destroying themselves from the inside. It is stuff that will be history books. The era of Trump.

Because he knew he's guilty.

I think tRumps lost his effing mind so much… He BELIEVES he’s innocent! Delusional 🍊💩🤡 ….. 🇺🇸💙

I would love to see your proof of this strategy conversation between Trump and his lawyer.

Wow!! That level of 'Projection' is quite impressive .. 😃 Ah the follies of youth, daring to think you know what other people think AND WHY .. 👌👏👏

@@kellyalvarado6533 The proof is Trump's behaviour. Throughout his life. He does always lie. We all know that. He does always fight. With everyone. We all know that. He started attacking the Judge long long before the trial. We all know that. What was the ONE thing that Costello DID do on the stand (apart from lie and hurt the defense)? He attacked the judge. The person who made the initial comment was using logic, reason, established facts and established patterns of behaviour. People who deny all this...are just like flat earthers.

@@kellyalvarado6533Well, the other option is that he’s just dumb. Costello did *nothing* but hurt his case.

@@christianc.christian5025 I don't disagree. But making assertions without any proof is absurd. Just tired of everyone *assuming* they know what happened between Trump and his legal team when they don't.

Wtf?? Should the judge recuse?

@poorthing why should the judge recuse? If anything Bannon should get another lawyer. Judges have a small community and no judges are going to be disrespected and take offense at any of them being disrespected.

​@@poorthingwhy should the judge recuse? I'll wait

@@sharonharris9782 like the Fox talking heads always say: 'I was just asking a question'

@@franknoneofya9585 I was asking why...not stating an opinion or making a declaration

Yes, he has a constitutional right not to testify. But when he declines, Cohen's testimony goes unrebutted.

You’re the problem. The defendant doesn’t have to prove his innocence in this country.

Guilty people often do as well. They're convinced they can lie in court as easily as they do to everyone else

TRump doesn't listen to his lawyers and keeps admitting to crimes. Now... IF only MAGAts would stop listening to donnie dump.

I like how nobody is talking about how Cohen admitted to stealing from Trump, and the prosecution is STILL hinging on his testimony even though he is a convicted liar.

Yes, but pleading the 5th and not testifying are very different.

@@kellyalvarado6533 Technically true. It was his accountant who pleaded the 5th

What has pleading the fifth got to do with any of this? You are just showing your ignorance. Ditto for the 23 fools that so far gave you a like.

@@kellyalvarado6533Lol, no they’re not. If you don’t testify, it’s because you’re exercising your right against self-incrimination. The “right to remain silent” (which includes not testifying) in Miranda is derived *from* the 5th Amendment. The thing Trump was referring to when he said this anyway was a deposition - where you *HAVE* to answer. The people he criticized just pleaded the Fifth and then would’ve refused to testify. It’s the *exact* same thing.

Well, damn! I gotta ask... Were you actually upset when you were writing? lol I'm sorry that's just wild to me!

@rdpeete19861 as a matter of fact, I was! 😆 My ungrateful nephew was suing my 76 year old mother for $4000 after he had extorted money from her for years & conned her into putting his name on the deed to her house. In small claims court, you can't have an attorney represent you & they wouldn't let me help her with explaining the situation because I wasn't listed in the lawsuit. She was shaking so bad & could barely speak (we had also been to court about a dozen times to obtain a P.F.A. on him). So I was writing everything she should say in case I got a chance to at least give her the paper. Specifics about dates/times etc. Her nerves were absolutely wrecked by that point, plus she's nearly 80 years old! She won the case & then she won the appeal he filed.

That is not how it works. They could not put costello on the stand if they expected him to lie. There is no way his lawyers don't know trump is guilty and don't know costello was lying. I really hope his whole legal team gets sanctioned for this nonsense. They chose to take him on as a client for a huge paycheck, the dilemma they are in is of their own making.

Another trump blunder! His blunders are running neck and neck with his lies.

Trump and the many clowns on Fox. That's what they talked about for 2 weeks.

Eejit

That's the thing. When it comes to what witnesses are called, the client doesn't actually have a say. It's 100% up to the lawyers (so long as the witness is relevant) who they bring up. Now, he could have told them to do it but they didn't actually have to listen to him. If it's true that he demanded it, which I wouldn't doubt, they were fools for listening.

@@paulmoss7940 I completely agree, with this total bullshit show trial. A national travesty, with international ramifications!

Very likely, unfortunately.

trump didnt even interact with stormy, it was proven in court that she lied about it, and the lawyer that bribed her stole 140K from trump via fraud and did the bribe hoping it would protect himself.

Judge Marchen is well-respected by people who aren't willfully ignorant. Considering how much you think you know about him, when you haven't got a clue, it's no wonder you think you're smarter than he is.

@@jbugko i have no issues with the judge it is all the trump world there does not seem to be an honorable bone in all of their bodies

Fun Fact: Many of Trump's attorneys have ended up needing attorneys in vain hopes of keeping their law licenses and/or not ending up indicted, tried, and convicted criminals themselves after representing Trump. For them, MAGA stands for Make Attorneys Get Attorneys. I hope Costello gets disbarred. The emails where he makes it obvious that he was trying to get Michael Cohen to continue lying about Trump was not only reprehensible and unethical, it was illegal - he should be disbarred. I hope several people who saw the trial including you as an attorney as well as Bruce Willis file formal complaints against him.

If Fox doesn't like it, then it's certifiably good.

TBH- I dont think a witness should make remarks about the Judge's rulings on objections, but eye rolling, a smirk or sigh shouldn't be that harsh...they are simply another human. That being said, if I were in court, I'd be on my best behaviour because they can put the screws to ya if they like. Could you imagine if anything like this decorum were required of our congress people...yeesh, we'd have solutions to some of our major issues.

@@mick8888Vobviously you have a different opinion on the subject matter and you are entitled to that. Judge Merchan has a right to be respected by the lawyers,witnesses and others in his courtroom. He felt disrespected by Costello and he had a right and a duty to chastise him for his conduct.

@@CarolEdmonds-pk7hr I wouldn't disagree with what your saying. If I were in court I would act respectfully. Let others who don't bear the brunt. Merely saying that some judges can be pretty full of themselves. I recall the judge in the Rittenhouse trial and how HIS behavior was unwarranted. From what I can tell Merchan seems to be reasonable, just thinking facial expressions shouldn't matter much....the jury can see the faces.

@@mick8888V I think the judge expects a little more from a lawyer.

Nah. Trump would have been worse. Which is saying something!

Trump would have been worse, people in NY despise him, especially in NYC.

Trump would definitely have been worse, but maybe not by much. Costello was about the next-worst witness they could have called, I honestly can’t think of *anyone* else they could have called that would be worse. Karen McDougal maybe? 😂

He only hires the best people.

I highly doubt that. What are you talking about.??

Bruce should have gone into more detail about this, Maybe he didnt have a grasp of it, and so he just instead skipped over it , he usually is better prepared.

The other crimes are relatively simple - the $130K reimbursement was actually over $400K deposited into Cohen's account, they worked out how much income tax Cohen would owe(lots), and factored that into his payment(it was over double!) - which is tax fraud, state and federal. Providing something of value to a political campaign and not disclosing/conspiracy to not disclose - another crime, very simple. The business fraud was invented to help cover up the other crimes.

It's still a weakness in the case by leaving more uncertainty in what the jury has to find.

that's nice. "a crime, any crime" was committed. that's not how the judicial system works. also, they absolutely have to show a federal crime was committed (and define it), otherwise the dead misdemeanor can't be elveted to a felony.

That’s not how it works. Alvin Bragg needed to identify which crime and charge him with it. You aren’t supposed to leave it open to interpretation to average citizens with no law knowledge. It’s not the jury’s job to figure out the crime for the prosecutor. It’s also insane to not sequester the jury. Absolutely crazy.

Trump is both a liar and thief.

Trump's both, so, sucks to be him,lol.

@@suewinston-elliott2674 I advise against it. She enabled the trafficking of her children and has managed to never be held accountable.

They are NOT being sequestered. They have instructions to not talk or do outside research about the case is all. It would suck to be sequestered. If they were it would only be fair to do closing statements tomorrow and allow them to deliberate as they needed. as it is - a few of the jury reportedly have travel plans over the long weekend so the judge is NOT pushing it forward.

What you should think is your own thoughts and try a little research from time to time if you're going to worry so much about us across the pond lol all Bruce is doing is catering to his audience. For a lawyer he does no real research on this, he just watches MSM, which we all know is biased and downright lying to us on a daily basis. There are many things to be disappointed in Trump so it sucks that y'all are making me defend him. The guy is dangling Biden's political prisoners in front of us so we'll vote for him. He creates dissention. He was a good president though and that cannot be denied by anyone that actually followed current events and his presidency and did their research. But the man ran with his tail between his legs and left those people in solitary without due process for 3 years when he should have stood his ground and pardoned them. He should never have pushed the vaccines either. These reasons are why I'm not voting and I am on neither side because the 2 party system is a delusion now and I'm not sure if there ever was 2 sides honestly. But Trump will never see the inside of a cell and y'all are crazy if you think that. This is a show. A shiny thing they dangle in front of us to give us false hope and keep us docile while they finish gutting our country and turning it into a socialist and global economy. The objective is to destabilize America and through America, Israel, and to depopulate. A death cult is running the world right now and the 4 Horsemen are galloping across it full speed ahead. Time to get right with your maker because they'll be begging the mountains to fall on them to hide them from Him. Just saying...😂

LMAO

Merchon is a good looking man!

I'm not sure whether that's high praise or an insult. But, considering you like Fred Gwynne, I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you meant it in the no-BS judge from the Pesci film kind of way. Judge Merchan is better looking, but that's not the world's toughest bar to clear. Forehead, perhaps, but not bar. 😂

Yeah, that sucks for him, too.

@kdawson020279 It was a reaction to the look on Merchan's expression which reminded of Gynne saying, "The two whats?"

if this channel is your only source of info on this case, I can see why you might believe that. but it is very, very far from an accurate statement. the lead witness, in addition to testifying that he did steal $60k from Trump and would commit perjury if it suited him, also testified Trump knew nothing of the payment. it's hard to see a guilty verdict considering these facts.

Because he would be a disaster for his own defense. He couldn't stick to the story that the payment was to keep Melania from finding out. He would have attacked every witness, plus the judge, plus the prosecution with a bunch of verbal diarrhea. It had already been determined that if he testified the fact that he had lost various other court cases could be used to impeach his testimony. The prosecution likely could bring up a lot of things he has said thatnthey couldn't if he didn't take the stand.
