'Very strong chance at a conviction': Trump's hush money trial to resume on Tuesday 

It cracks me up, GOP’s are like, I reject your jacked up reality and substitute it with my own jacked up reality because it now suits us.

If convicted he must be sentenced to prison to reinforce no man is above the law.

I do expect the jury to come in with guilty on *at least* one count of 34, and even only one guilty verdict* should* carry a prison sentence, but I'm a realist and know that because of who he is, he won't. What *should* happen is he gets home confinement with ankle bracelet monitoring and *zero* access to social media, just like if was in real prison. Anything less is a travesty of justice!

What gets me is the people saying the jury might not believe Cohen. Seriously? The man lied to Congress at the instruction of his then-boss and ended up not only doing time for it, but spending time in solitary confinement. The man has a young family. Why would we believe he would knowingly lie on the stand now and risk a perjury conviction? The media, in general, really needs to stop the incessant drumbeat of overzealous and unrealistic drama. The tail now wags the dog. 😕

Jury foreman from The Producers: "Your Honor, we find the defendant....very guilty."

Yes 👍 Yes 👍 I'll have jail 😊

Yes please lock the stink!! Up for the betterment of the nation

Technically Cohen's testimony isn't needed. What he brought to the table was confirmed by other witnesses.

You don't even need to believe Michael Cohen, you only need to look at all the other evidence to see exactly what these payments were for, in precise detail. On top of that, the defense not only offered no alternative explanation but also behaved disrespectfully and arrogantly throughout the trial. It would be a strange juror indeed who had any doubts at all, let alone reasonable ones.

A conviction without a custodial sentence is going to make a heap of folk very angry.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.”- Marcus Tullius Cicero

When Trump saw a Prison Guard Tower he asked how much extra for the Penthouse. ☺

One can only hope that the lawyers on the jury will be able to explain any law that may confuse the rest of the jurors. I dont care how the lawyers vote just be honest about the law.

Is Trump guilty? Is water wet?

Hey, after a guilty of verdict, Trump had better be jailed, immediately, remember Michael Cohen?

Cohen's testimony was nearly always corroborated in the court room. Of course the jury should believe him.

If the majority of republican voters want to get rid of T, they should ask him to take one for the team.

It certainly helps that he is obviously guilty. The distinction is the peculiarity of this justice system which does NOT guarantee that someone who is guilty is also found guilty.

Trump's behavior in court alone shows the jury first hand his character. It's a no-brainer.

So can anyone be prosecuted in NYC after the statute of limitations are expired? No one should ever do business in NY.

a guilty verdict with NO jail time is a huge THREAT.

Lock him up...he is the biggest disgrace that the US has ever seen

Lock him up.

I hope the Jury work hard. My trust is in them. I hope they find the right decision strictly based on the evidence. Let our Democracy last.

Lock him up!

Comey, got it right and the media needs to prepare delusional voters

The New York bookies are covering the bets.... Some good action.... !!!

Trump told Stormy that she reminded him of his daughter. That's right. Trump told the woman he had an affair with, that she reminds him of his daughter. Evangelicals love this stuff!!! 😂🤣 In September 1994, a little less than a year after Tiffany was born to Trump and his second wife, Marla, the couple appeared on an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. “Donald, what does Tiffany have of yours and what does Tiffany have of Marla’s?” asked host Robin Leach. “She’s a very beautiful baby,” Trump replied. “She’s got Marla’s legs. We don’t know whether or not”-he put his hands to his chest to indicate her bra size-”she’s got this part yet, but time will tell.” While Trump was on The View in March 2006, he was asked what he would do if Ivanka was on the cover of P-boy magazine, Trump said it depended on what was inside the magazine and added, “Although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her.” In a February 2013 appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, during a question and answer game, Williams asked Trump and Ivanka, "What's the favorite thing you have in common with your father?" Ivanka answered, "Either real estate or golf" while Trump added, "Well, I was going to say 5ex." All true stories.

I wish the jury convicted him guilty of crime and go to jail, I pray for it.

Lol double loss for SLEEPY DON!

We got him this time!!! For like 10th thousandth time 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a joke

He needs to go to jail during the appeal process!!!

The trouble with Trump is he thinks he is still the president because he has a world of his own where he is always a winner and everyone else is a loser.

Question: Will Trump be remanded into custody immediately upon conviction?

If Cohen served time, Trump should too.

First among the duties of the citizen under our Constitution is allegiance. As Chief Justice Marshall pointed out in United States v. Wiltberger,' treason is a breach of allegiance and can be committed only by one who owes allegiance, either perpetual or temporary. GUILTY AS CHARGED JAIL TIME DONALD

If I was guessing I'd say the jury will be back in 20 minutes.... If I was betting I would probably go with two days.... ?

The US defines espionage towards itself as "the act of obtaining, delivering, transmitting, communicating, or receiving information about the national defence with an intent, or reason to believe, that the information may be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation". Espionage is a violation of United States law, 18 U.S.C. §§ 792-798 and Article 106a of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Silly me, I thought it was about election interference money payments . I guess hush money payments sounds much less serious.

Jail.him

Lock this career con man up!😊 It is way past due.❤

Rather silly to have a decision on change of venue come in after trial is over! Same with judge recusal. Guess better late than never?

I believe the jurors belive Mr. Cohen's word

IT'S Plain to see cause its Written all over his Face GUILTY!!

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR, is the saying I’ve heard all my life.

If Trump goes free, you all will hear me SCREAM😱

Which piece of evidence comes from Michael alone?

Praying for conviction AND jail time.....please take him away

this trial is 100% headed to the appellate period ,this case has more holes in it then swiss cheese

Hopefully justice denied will be served and would be fitting on this holiday weekend honoring our veterans ❤

He’s not going to jail, that’s not the idea here. The plan is to just keep Trump busy during campaign season…

The fact they're reporting on this like he's already guilty says everything you need to know. I really feel pity for those that live in that rotting country

Ana showing her skills and personality since coming over to msnbc..love it!

LaBronx James and his traveling circus event in the park yesterday was huge. A hugely disappointing dud.

It will probably be mistrial due to jurors

There better be a conviction and a maximum sentence!! Get rid of this traitor trump

The propaganda isn't working anymore.

Enjoy memorial day weekend Donny baby. Karma is coming. Who is the sucker now, you called our fallen soldiers?

It's time to get it done, so w 5:01 5:01 e the people , can get back to a great life love to all & God bless you all.amem

Federal Prison in Miami..It's housed several well known peoole. Close to Mar-a-Lago and adoring family..They could easily visit.....Rikers has been preparing for weeks over Don's angry adolescent behavior in court and possible jailing....Let's not waste their planning.

I hope the un-sequestered jurors in this sham trial saw the Bronx rally. FJB

Theyre just going to hit him with another puny fine he doesnt have to pay. Is there any way we can extradite him to a country with a functioning DOJ?

Chump can make mushroom shiat stew for all the inmates!

That thumbnail of Trump's face looks like he's wearing a Hallowe'en mask.

Prosecution has to build a mistermeaner into a federal offense good luck

Trumps mushroom was not magic. 🍄

MSNBC's desperation is quite soothing actually.

Remember a win for Trump Is a win for Putin and Kim Vote Joe 💪😎

May the guilty party share a cell with Hannibal Lecter. 🤣

HE CANT BE CONVICTED....I HAVENT RECIEVED MY TRUMP UNIVERSITY DIPLOMA....

WGAF what the disgraced former head of the FBI's opinion is?

I hope a conviction involves jail time.

18 U.S. Code § 2331 - Definitions (5) “domestic terrorism” means activities that- (A)involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B)appear to be intended- (i)to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii)to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii)to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C)occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States

Dream on. The case was a joke.

Very strong polling President Trump 2024🇺🇸🇵🇷

Crows can count 4, study finds. Toddler Trump cannot. 🤣🤣🤣

guilty as charged please. i will be ready with popcorn.

Trump is getting worst as days goes by.

If he is guilty so is Hillary Obama and Biden no double standards.

He will be convicted but wont go to jail and it is what it is.....

Prosecution lawyers preparing for closing arguments: "...facts...evidence...connect the dots..." Defense lawyers preparing for closing arguments: "Which juror can we threaten or buy? We only need one."

You people still think the justice system works, that is your problem! It doesn’t just look at the Supreme Court thinking that an ex president has total immunity 😂😂😂😂😂😂

There is always a strong chance of conviction in a kangaroo court. 😆😆🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

The jury was at the Bronx rally getting autographed MAGA hats and having fun.

Of coarse it was lol he was not given a fair chance at all…it’s a mockery to our law system I’m an independent and I see straight through the BS lol

Don the Con is called Teflon Don for a good reason. He was far too calm sitting there during the trial. I hope my suspicion he has a "influenced" a juror is unfounded. It only takes one.

We got him this Time!! 20 years later...

THANK YOU MSDNC for keeping your many TDS sufferers in mind. Posting "new" Trump "news" every 25 minutes (even though it's repetitive) helps relieve the TDS symptoms your followers may suffer if they go too long without hearing or saying his name... SAY HIS NAME, Libby's! TRUMP 2024!!!!

Let's keep America Safe and Great vote Biden and Lock up Trump.

Iif he walks...this trial was rigged ..

DIAPER DON!! OH BOY!!

This is a nothing burger case. This case will be tossed

Guilty, then the Supreme Court suspends the sentence until they can hear the appeal. Which will extend until after the election of course. Then Alito will fly all his flags again.

Guilty on all charges! Rikers express is waiting.

Dream on!

Good! I’ll vote for Trump twice ❤❤

Hey Donny, GUILTY as charged!!!

Is "Devil's Island" still available ? Failing that, Philip Nolan got a sentence that was appropriate for Traitor Trump as well.

If he's convicted, he'll just get more popular. Biden is toast.

Convicted of what crime? There was none.
