#Trump #ElectionInterference #Politics
I'm a Republican.I think at this point we need to gather the true americans against the Psychopaths who want to overthrow our country
They’ve already done that- now we have to jail them all for treason after Trump is back come January.
Who is that? I know many republicans who think it’s Biden trying to overthrow democracy.
Yeah riiight you are 😂😂
I find it very disappointing to see how late and how weak the institutions react to protect themselves. Like the US didn't have the chance to see democracies fail in its Southern Hemisphere.
Don't lie to me.
Watching Donald Trump destroy the GOP has been one of the wildest things I can recall in my near 50 years
I couldn't agree more. This has been surreal.
I'm 70 and have never seen anything like it . From the GOP debates to the Hollywood Access tapes and the McCain slurs before the election, to Comer and Mueller immediately after , the republican establishment rolled over and took it like beaten curs ... The post Jan 6 rewrite of history is straight out of Stalinist Russia ... Truly amazing , history will not be kind
Yeah this has been entertaining. Can any of you name 1 policy the republicans passed in the last 30 years?
@@shahnulislam9897
Thirty years? I’ve been a politics geek since 1968, except for tax cuts for the top rates, and regulation rollbacks, the Party of Liars Cheats and Thieves haven’t driven one policy that’s been a positive for the country.
The LCT’s have always put profits before everything else!!
@@kevinmcconnell3641 you better be careful truth is like holy water to those vampires
Merchan should find Trump in contempt. Then Chutkan can declare Trump violated the terms of her release. Lock him up! That will speed the schedule.
nah, he's good.
Gag order illegal.
Glenn Kirschner said that on his channel tonite lol. Numerous counts of criminal contempt will violate the terms of release on all four cases 😎🔥
@@markjapan4062 what does that mean?
@@kelperdude who is good and what does that mean?
If the US wants the world to take them seriously again they need to lock this guy up. The optics are terrible.
no this is the real america for all the world, everything was lies! no justice or laws for some!
What the world thinks of us isn't nearly as bad as what's actually happening to us.
The smell is even worse!
You mean like when Putin locked up Navalny for being his political rival?
The US has no reason to take the rest of the world seriously, so who cares what the rest of the world thinks?
He could be kept in a safe house. No phone no internet.
Good idea.
And you need to be put in a nut house.
@@keithm9337 for contempt of court. Like any other citizen.

The South Koreans got their system right, especially after they got past 4 decades of dictatorship. Their democratic institutions and the rule of law are very strong, even stronger than anything in the US. Whether you're an ordinary person or a former president or a VP of a conglomerate (Samsung), you sit in jail during the trial and then for some time if found guilty. How about learning something from an ally for once?
huh. well here in america we are innocent until the government proves us guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. so the government incarcerating innocent people for months or years waiting for the government to bring their case is unconstitutional*.
unless you're poor, apparently.
Well said. We will LEARN THE HARD WAY. When we crash and burn. Since after WW2, through ARROGANCE, IGNORANCE, HUBRIS, CORRUPTION, PRIDE, GLOBAL INTERFERENCE etc. etc. etc. the United States has continued steadily down a road of ignominy, violence etc. until it has now finally ended up as a VERY DANGEROUS ROGUE NATION.
We have a large economy, a powerful military, NUCLEAR WEAPONS and a GIGANTIC debt.
But, INTERNALLY our country is broken, divided and DOES NOT FUNCTION as a true country of 50 United States.
Our bullying days are coming to an end, and our INTERNAL INABILITY to deal strongly and effectively with ONE SINGLE seditious, treasonous, fraudulent criminal name Donald Trump has shown us up for the BROKEN, WEAK, COWARDLY country that we have finally become.
We will NEVER listen and learn from any of out allies - we are too PROUD and STUPID.
I agree. The American legal system is showing the whole civilised world it is a basket case
GEZZZŹ DT....WANTS JAIL. HE USES. JAIL. TO DO HIS FAVORITE THING. IT CAUSES. DELAY DELAY JAIL.HELPS TRUMP.CONTOL. THE COURT. MERCHANS EXCELLENT TO NOTTTT USE JAIL AN KEEP THE COURT MOVING ALONG
Our system is pretty great imo. The issue is that we don’t apply the full range of fairness to everyone equally, as the Constitution dictates.
We also made corporations personal entities, which is just madness, considering that we’re now dismantling bodily autonomy for actual people.
Three Tier Justice system
1. Regular Normal Americans
2. The Rich and Famous
3. Donald Trump
four. you forgot the poor, way way down at the bottom.
Judge Merchant has shown a No-Nonsense demeanor throughout the proceedings by admonishing Trumps lawyers, not hesitating to tell the Criminal Defendant to sit down and what won’t be tolerated- so the delay is odd and a bit concerning… but I have a theory/am hopeful that he is gathering all the evidence he needs to lock him up with absolutely no chance to appeal. 😮💨🤞🏾
Conservatives today rely on political institutions that brazenly undercut majority rule. The Senate, the courts, the Electoral College - all provide conservatives with structural advantages at the expense of the many. But the Right isn’t content to sit back and cash in on the tilted playing field. It actively labors to restrict voting rights, skew the census, gerrymander districts, and generally increase the sway of the country’s most anti-majoritarian institutions. When confronted with criticism, they resort to the nonsensical argument that “we’re a republic, not a democracy.”
Free speech rights, civil rights, and other protections are essential to a flourishing democracy. But conservatives’ contempt for majority rule does not spring from a concern for a beleaguered minority (unless you think big business qualifies as an oppressed group). The truth is, the Right doesn’t expect a majority of Americans to support their policies, nor do they particularly care..
To defeat conservatism today, the main thing we have to do is to explain what it is, and what is wrong with it.
Q: What is conservatism?
A: Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy.
Q: What is wrong with conservatism?
A: Conservatism is incompatible with democracy, prosperity, and civilization in general. It is a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that is founded on deception, and has no place in the modern world..
Conservatism continually twists the language of conscience into its opposite. It has no choice: conservatism is unjust, and cannot survive except by pretending to be the opposite of what it is.
10% voter turn out in the primaries. Majority rule? Bawhahahahahahahaha.
Conservatism continually flips the language of conscience into its opposite. It has no choice: conservatism is unjust, and cannot survive except by pretending to be the opposite of what it is.

@@DavidJ222Brilliant explanation of the truth!
When will a judge start treating him like other criminals before him?
Never. They fear his return to power.
This case would be dismissed with other American citizen
@@briancoughlin6732 any other citizen Wouk have his posterior in a cell.
Yes, Trump really has had an easy time with the "justice system". 6 indictments and trials, all crooked dem prosecutors, judges and juries on the weakest of alleged crimes. Your school has failed you.
To be fair, at this stage he is still the defendant, and the charges are a joke.
Trump not being jailed is 'troublesome'.
Keep wagging your finger Merchan, I'm sure the 100th time will make the difference.
Once contempt charges are filed Chutkan and Willis could jail him for violating pre release orders. Let's see what they do too.
Remember when Joe said he was enlisted in the Air Force, the Army and the Navy.. man!! Joe Biden is such a trendsetter!! 81 million votes 😂
trump is not going to jail

@@gloonnug4797 joe biden on the howard stern show said that he was a life guard and he saved 6 lives and cnn fact checked joe biden and my oh my joe lying biden LIED !!
Why don't they do what they did to Bobby Seale during the Chicago 7 trial? They physically bound and gagged Bobby to a chair right inside the courtroom for all to see.
A judge with integrity and wisdom. When he see a trap he knows it.
It's a bluff. Everything Trump does is smoke and mirrors.
I agree.
I get that. But also, it’s past Turnip’s jail time.
He’s undermining faith in the legal process.
😅😅🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
His "detention" (is he Bart Simpson going to the principal's office?) will be like the Battle of Gettysburg: "So unbelievable, so vicious, so horrible, so beautiful in so many different ways."
Could it be Merchan knows there is more at stake? Chutkan and Willis could jail him for violating his pre release order. I can almost see the gleam in Fani's eyes now.
What's happening down in Georgia? I know devil went down there but the case isn't progressing even though it's not obstructed for SCOTUS arguments. Haven't heard anything from Judge McAfee since Nathan Wade resigned - LET'S GO Y'ALL! My popcorn 🍿 is getting cold.
"Chutkan and Willis could jail him for violating his pre release order."
This statement alone proves you are ignorant and don't understand the US legal system.
There is NO WAY, ZERO, NONE, for Fani Willis to jail Trump. She is NOT A JUDGE.
Of course he knows the implications..
Merchan is afraid of Trump.
At this point I think this is the only trial. Them other trials are going to happen after the election, what happens if he wins...?
It's not a gag order, It's an empty threat.
Yeah, with over a dozen unanswered violations I think you're right
Blue ! , No fear , 💙
Donald Trump is Russia material
Contempt of court is breaking the law and a violation of his four trial’s pre-trial release conditions.
The more Judge Merchan hesistates, the more he *enables* Don Capone.
I'm not a Democrat but I will definitely be voting for President Biden.

I think he is keeping it as a threat to maintain control of the trial. He wants to get thru the trial as quickly as possible. I think it is working. To impose sanctions now runs the risk of disrupting the flow of the trial
Bingo … Nail On The Head … Bulls Eye … Hole In One etc etc etc , he is not falling for Donnie’s little game !
The only sensible post so far.
Why is Trump allowed to use government property, the courthouse, to stage these press conferences? He should be told to either go to a venue he pays for or on public property. It makes no sense.
It’s almost like he’s getting an illegal campaign contribution from the city of New York. 🤔
He knows the press will be there. And no one can legally stop him from being in front of the press before or after his court proceedings. Blame the press for putting microphones and cameras in front of Dirty Don.
Lock him up!
"Lock him up!"
/
🤡
Yes I agree Biden should be locked up and any ahole that agrees with his bad policies.
Merchan has chickened out on us.
He along with all the other judges.
Judge Merchan needs to explain to Trump that he is considered a dangerous criminal and that every time he is in breach, he unnecessarily, endangers someone's life and therefore should he breach again he will have to immediately, send him to Prison. He needs to explain that If he is sent to Prison now, this could follow on to his other trials, which could mean he may actually spend the remainder of his natural life in Prison from this day! I'm pretty sure that would wake him up!
Why bother? Trump already knows this. In fact he's hoping the rest of the country catch on to this tough guy, don't mess with me persona. Trump has always relied on his mob boss mentality to muscle his way through legal or financial problems.
How is Trump a criminal? What did he do? I bet you can’t answer that. I bet you’re the real criminal here. Maybe Biden’s supporters are criminals.
Mary is an absolute gift during these complicated legal times
Ms. McCord's best interview ever. Maybe have her in studio more often, if possible?
Don’t give up on Judge Merchan yet. He’s nothing but thorough.
Merchan is not thinking clearly. Donnie has muddy up his view of the law. He's bending over backwards way, way to much and too far for Donnie. Even Donnie knows this. That's why he keeps playing with Merchan's mind by constantly repeating that Merchan is "conflicted." If Merchan doesn't get his head out of his butt, Donnie is going to wreck this trial.
@@supersquirrel7546 SCOTUS has possiblity wrecked all of these trials. Let us see . ..
So said of Merrick Garland during his 2 1/2 years of hiding out. He was the beginning of what we are seeing today.
Trump - contempt of court, contempt for the presidency, contempt for the Constitution, contempt for democracy, contempt for veterans, contempt for American citizens generally.
Wow, is that all ?😊
24/7....🗽🇺🇸🧢
Instead of throwing DT in the slammer, how about community service, such as picking up trash in Central Park ? Plenty of room for the Secret Service, and they can point out anything he misses.
He’d just sit down on the ground like a sulky toddler. Also remember that any penalty will be immediately appealed, so it’s impossible that we’ll see him actually experience the consequences of his disdain for the rule of law. Not until after he loses the election in November, anyway.
The judge needs to accept this case is going to be appealed when Cheeto is found guilty by the jury. Cheeto appeals every conviction.
and the awful thing is that the appeals courts and Supreme Court have been subverted
I mean really. Whatever he does , yeah… but he is hurting real people. Waiting every second. Are those peoples’ lives any less important while the judges keep saying: if you do it one more time we will…
10:15 enough already with the nonsense about it difficult to deal with jailing Chump! He needs to be treated like everyone else. Not only that, he needs to know that he will be treated like everyone else, and that he’s like any other ordinary criminal, sorry, defendant. Keep him in the courthouse holding-pen overnight. See how fast he learns from that. I’m betting extremely fast.
rule that the sentence details will be completed after the trial ...
4:16 Omg she came out and said it. Now they claim there doesn't even need to be another crime. We were all wondering how they were going to get around the fact that there wasn't one.
Republicans complaining about how badly Defendant Trump is being treated need to name one other person who violated their gag order more than 11 times and is still walking free.
Why is your "legal expert" acting surprised? This Court failed to adequately protect the identities of the jury, and failed to protect witnesses from intimidation.
Because MSNBC isn’t a real news organization. They are a vehicle for liberal outrage catharsis.
Each gag order violation is 30 days in jail....all 14 of them....
We are watching fascism.
Trump and the Republican party terrorist attack
I agree 100%
We are watching fascism TRYING. They will not succeed! They are outnumbered by common sense, powers of observation and MEMORY
He is also fundraising on the judge not putting him in jail.
Popping your tongue on a national news network is wild work
It isn't troublesome if the Secret Service is having to figure out how to guard him in jail. That has never been done, and if Merchan wants to jail him, he better wait until they can do it for as long as it is ordered.
Justice Merchan's "delay" is anything but troublesome. There are higher levels of chess being employed here. First, Merchan could be letting this issue hang over the head of Baby Hitler. Second, he could come out with a ruling with a proviso that any further violation would result in jail time. Third, ideally, he will come out with a ruling soon but will withhold judgment until AFTER the trial, taking into consideration any other violations and behaviors during the trial, and taking those into consideration in the sentencing phase of the trial.
1st offence allowed to pile up: harsh warning. 2nd-fine. 3rd-jail, the other 9+ individually adds to his jail time. It's the only fair way. Keep it simple and real.
Replace troublesome with corrupt. The american legal system stands at the intersection of money, politics and self interest. Good luck with it all. Best wishes from the UK.
It’s all one big fat all American ruse.
My reading of the situatin is that secret services seem to worry about how to follow...
There going to have a special detail on duty in case Trump drops the soap.
@@RC-qf3mp Given the extraodinary devotion they have already shown their "orange Jesus" - e.g. with the destruction of Jan 6 communications - they might be the ones to worry about when the soap drops 😮
They just last week announced that they’re working with various authorities to plan for possible incarceration of their charge.
Symone flushes 6 times
Actually it's 9
NE editor Dylan Howard knew the truth. His text messages expose the crime. They need to be part of this case!!
Harambe didn't die, that was just a ruse. He actually successfully transitioned and got a job at MSNPC as Symone.
Multiple reprimands to a defendant in court, including multiple fines to those violations, should impart an automatic lockup.
I'm so glad you brought on Mary McCord, she has a great way of explaining for we yogi bears...
MERCHAN IS EXCELLENT CALM.CLEAR EXPERIENCED SAFE
It may be troublesome, but it's not difficult to understand: He's afraid.
Why all this hesitance and delay? Follow the law. What's so troubling? Follow the law? Are we a rule of law nation or not?
Come on put trump in JAIL/PRISON..he is not above the LAW.....
but Biden and Clinton are. You are so fricking stupid.
Why can’t court leaders do their job and hand down legal law!
The entire sham trial is un trouble
In the US everything must be first evaluated within a populistic framework, even court decisions
TDS
I don't think I've ever seen a monitor at the table, but I actually really like it. Especially the digital clock. More of this please.
It is absolute BS that he isn't ever held accountable for anything.
We certainly ought to be test driving some options, like yesterday. Let's not get to the end of a trial, have a guilty verdict and a prison sentence, only to say that this guy can't go to prison.
Vote Mitt Romney as a Write-In candidate. Save the USA.
There's a reason why they call it a gag order when it comes to Trump. It's a joke. Nobody takes it seriously.
Hope the judge is waiting for his cell to be ready for him. We can at lesst hope.
Why cant we have those text messages which show that they knew it was a crime..."what have we DONE!!!"
It's all troublesome!!! Sick of it!!! Pure bs!!!!
Without drawing conclusions from hypothetical scenarios.
There is no crime.
There is no evidence of a crime in this case or those brought by AG James, AG Willis and E. Jean Carroll.
😂😂
Them’s some $25 dollar words, right there.
Too bad it’s actually complete nonsense.
Absolutely pathetic....enforce the laws
Reasons for allowing him to get away with not going to jail is unfounded. He is going to grift off his followers what every you do. Doing nothing is worse for the justice system than putting him in jail for his actions. It would also protect the innocent if he was held to the same standards as everyone else.
He should be kept at the court house. He shouldn’t 😅be staying in a plush area when he is violating the gag order.
Her daddy stole gold bars and she sat here judging others, you can't make it up!
No,it's Diaper Don who is troublesome.🙄
He just saving it all up.
Not that hard to handle him. Cuffs and jail cells simplify everything for everyone. It's called FAFO.
Seems like he can do quite literally anything he wants to do.
The judge and prosecution are trying to be meticulous because when this case is appealed, the lawyers can't say they didn't give him enough warnings. Suspended sentence is a good idea, as then when he does it again, it will be a solid consequence.
Judge: "I'm just being 'meticulous'..yeeeaaa that's the ticket. It's definetely not that I'm scared to be the 1st one to lock him up." Lame and weak man.
How would an "order" keep dear Donald from gagging others? Impossible. 👄
One way is for the judge to simply ask if Donnie made the posts himself. If he says yes, he's violated the gag order. If he says no, judge will demand the people who violated Donnie's orders for him, if he refuses to list names, he'll be held responsible. So either way, the court has people monitoring social media. Prosecutors also have people monitoring social media sites. That's how they've been able to file a motion to request Donnie gets punished for violating the gag orders. It's not that easy for Donnie to deny these things. However, I don't think Donnie is worried about hiding this. He wants the court to waste more time dealing with this issue. It's one of his best ways to delay this trial. So far it's working. Working slowly, but still working.
I believe Judge Merchan knows "exactly" what he is doing; the delay on the gag order may seem troublesome - but, I wouldn't second guess him nor should anyone else.
As Neil Katyal said, best to wait until after conviction and then lay the additional gag order violation charges.
I think Merchan's delay was to see if defendant Trump commits any more Gag-order violations before the Judge makes a ruling next week.
So you're saying 10 violations isn't enough to show/prove contempt?
Every other criminal defendant who violates any court orders after a 2nd time would be in jail.
@@supersquirrel7546 I'm saying that Merchan's ruling will be scrutinized, and that 14 violations (the current count) gives him more justification than 10.
Put DT in jail for contempt, he'll fund raise from it, but people will get used to idea of DT in jail, so it won't be a big deal when he's found guilty and sentenced to 20 years.
David Jolly is excellent.
2016?
They are using that again?
I am tired of this criminal trump getting help from all sides of the courts of law. Our system sucks. And they are supporting the worst type of human ever.
It might be wise to delay. Finish the trial and then impose sanctions. Even put him in jail for his gag order violations.
This judge wouldn't be qualified to do a episode on law and order hes just terrible OMG
It's a kangaroo court.
What is criminal in this trial ? Trump pays Cohen a monthly retainer of $35,000 a month, so not campaign funds. Cohen pays Stormy with his own money, hush money is not a crime. Election interference? Joe Biden did the same thing with the Hunter Biden laptop story, saying it was Russian interference before the 2020 election.
Right, just because the prosecution didn't bring some of the potential charges that didn't make it into the initial indictment(s) doesn't mean that they are precluded from bringing those charges at all in the future. Dump will try anything to avoid jail except not break the law.
Does anyone know why the IRS has not been visible in any of the cases?
Because the IRS is invisible.
Because the IRS would have to go through the channels and get Trump indicted for tax evasion and fraud. They would have to work with a separate team to gather evidence, present it to a federal grand jury to be able to prosecute Trump. Besides, mixing this in with illegal usage of campaign funds would just complicate the case. It's best to seperate the crimes and indict Trump on seperate charges. My guess is if Trump is found guilty in any or all of these criminal trials, then the IRS would work with FBI & DOJ go after Trump's tax crimes.
For rich and powerful a very weak justice system… For the average Joe not so. Wake up folks.
Patiently waiting on Stormy weather to hit the courtroom...
Stormy is going to rock the courthouse like a hurricane. Donnie's going to look like he got tossed around in a tornado by the time Stormy finishes.
"Ragging the Puck: To proceed slowly in order to use up time; to stall for time."
then why are they continually allowing him to abuse gag-orders and other rules????Im not expecting any jil-time nor prison but,likely him just continuing as he does now AND GETS BY??????????
One of the concern is they think Donnie wants to go to jail so he can fundraise and try to rile his base up. They don't want to give Donnie what he wants for his political circus. Personally I think Donnie's plans would backfire if they jail him for the full 30 days. They've only considered a few days in jail, but that would work out for Donnie. A full 30 days and no Internet access would mean Donnie has to rely on others to do his grifting. Others may not get all the details Donnie may want if they restrict all visitors and communication. However, this could be spun as political and could get messy. Any other regular criminal defendants this wouldn't be problematic. That's why Merchan is dragging his butt. He simply can't make a firm decision.
Where is Michael Steele? Did I miss something in the introductions?
Perhaps the Merchan delay is relayed to the SS prep for jailing a former president/presidential candidate.
Why are so many people congested?
Sugar in the diet. Too many carbs. Inflammation.
There’s a minor respiratory virus making the rounds post-Spring Break. One day of feverish misery then about two weeks of sniffly ick.
and for some strange reason trump always walks away from all his charges,
what could all this mean???????
