    If Michael Cohen did time for campaign finance crimes so should the guy who signed the checks.
  • @rockfella1377
    I will support the guy with 81 years behind him over the guy with 91 criminal charges in front of him.
  • @jferris1027
    I think this is an important clarification: It was stated that the jurors are responsible for Trump’s fate. I believe that’s incorrect. The jurors are not the ones responsible for Trump’s fate: Trump is responsible for Trump’s fate, and he has already determined that fate through his own actions. The jurors are responsible for understanding those actions, and unbiasedly matching those actions to existing laws. That’s it.

    If you are used to privilege accountability feels like persecution.
  • @sle81
    Stop lying to us! Trump is NOT being treated like any other person would be treated. The judge needs to throw the book at this guy - literally!
  • vote blue across the board for democracy, womens reproductive rights, our countries sanity
  • @KARMABELLA24
    How can anyone still support Trump? I've lost faith in religion and in humanity after watching Trump destroy the foundation of our nation
  • Reading all these stupid pro-MAGA comments is hilarious. Trump is done. The GOP is done. MAGA is doomed. Long live democracy. USA over MAGA.
  • My man Andrew Weissmann your are a brilliant man. Always making sense of things. Great reasoning! Love your tempered voice of right.
  • @ruby07241
    He has the same mentality of most criminals. Uncontrolled anger, lying and being the victim.
  • @bribri2694
    A person doesn’t get 91 criminal indictments being a lawful citizen. They can’t make those up. There has to be credible evidence to be brought to that point. Plus anyone who supports a person in this situation along with a list of bankruptcies, failing social media account, unable to pay his bond and the host of lies he spews daily needs to really take a step back and see things in a different light. A lot of others have, but more need to.
  • The Party of Law and Order showing they don't stand for anything at all.

    I just don't understand the "awe" experienced by potential jurors when seeing djt. As a juror, I felt amazed and in awe (and a little bit afraid) of the legal system and the court and the gravity of my part in deciding someone's fate. DonaldTrump is just a man who was on a tv show and did a terrible job in a public service role as Potus. He is nothing more than a rich conman. Good luck to all jurors and I hope they all vote based on the evidence and the truth.
  • @bryantbrown107
    ❌Donald Trump❌ needs to go to jail so America can move on😂
  • @JonPKibble
    Even O.J. didn't act this guilty in the courtroom.
  • He seriously has always thought that there are no rules that pertain to him or that he has to obey
