As promising as this all sounds, it doesn't change the fact that this matter is going to either stall before the election, and find it's way back to the Supreme Court (where the corrupt Conservative majority will once again create their own interpretation of the law to allow Trump to walk free). Trump knows that he has a favorable set of Justices, ones who don't care what the public thinks of them, and certainly won't be challenged by anything that Merrick Garland is in charge of. Despite there being several examples of corrupt behavior by members of the Supreme Court, Garland and the DoJ have shown zero inclination to pursue any investigations and indictments against those who stand accused. Garland as Attorney-General has only succeeded in going after those at the lowest levels in the Capitol riots. And whilst there have been some charges against people such as Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clarke, and a few other close associates of Trumps, how many Republican members have been completely overlooked for the parts they played in those events?

I agree with John G but these lawyers are defending a criminal who brags and admits his crimes. Secondly they know the judge wants to be fair, so most likely allow any excuse for a delay so not appear prejudiced. So like spaghetti, throw out some lame excuse and see what sticks. They have no real legal defense otherwise.😂😂😂

Which will be soon.
In my opinion, he is only getting away with these dragged-out convictions because this is the United States of America. Somewhere else wouldn't tolerate this behavior this long.
In the UK, criminal cases are heard before anyone can object to them. Only, once the case has been heard, can an appeal be considered. The American system needs to be changed to stop those stupid appeals before the case has even begun.

My God. Im a lawyer and I wouldn't dream of citing a non-majority opinion or another district's judge in the face of unambiguous controlling precedent to a district court judge. Thats third day of law school stuff. Who would embarrass himself that way? Oh yea, one of trumps lawyers. Seems like they have a knack for that kind of thing.
it certainly seems that experienced, knowledgeable, self-respecting lawyers won't go near him anymore... all you hear about nowadays are the ones who think they're geniuses for fabricating loopholes that don't exist (because they don't truly understand what they've read), and reading opinions and interpreting case law/using precedents "creatively" lol
@@Oh-No-Its-Lizzie-Jo
And none of them will ever be paid for their services!
I agree with John G but these lawyers are defending a criminal who brags and admits his crimes. Secondly they know the judge wants to be fair, so most likely allow any excuse for a delay so not appear prejudiced. So like spaghetti, throw out some lame excuse and see what sticks. They have no real legal defense otherwise.😂😂😂
I didn't understand one word of your explanation but I like it! :) (And I agree!) :)
We need term limits on Supreme Court justices
We need a new way to APPOINT THEM. Drawing them out of a hat would be better than a BIAs President picking them. Look at the carnival going on NOW???
Dont get complacent, Dems.

2024
Spent 3 hours Thursday 9/5 phone calling with Michigan Dems. Friday 9/6, going to my counties Dems office and mailing out post cards. Saturday 9/7, canvassing for a few hours starting at noon. Also signed up to be a greater at my local democratic office. I am 61 years old and a veteran. I never volunteer for an election campaign before in my life. BUT THIS ELECTION MATTERS!!!! It isn't hard to do volunteer a few hours here and there and it sure beats sitting on the couch complaining, no pun intended, but it truly matters!
@@topat3 We're with you on all the above topat, but you neglected to mention how good all that activity feels & the fun you can have with others door knocking, writing cards, making calls in a room or on a patio or park bench full of dedicated people, if only for an hour, two or three at a time. It can feel GREAT!THANKS friends!
Yep! 🫡💙💙
@topat3 if we tried that where we live the trumpers would hurt us. That's how bad they are.
Judge Tanya Chutkan is a Jamaican woman, and as a person who had a Jamaican mother and two grandmothers, I can tell you from personal experience that Jamaican women don't play. TFG and his legal team are going to learn what "being put under heavy manners," means.
I appreciate you, Lawrence. So much.❤
Jusge C thank you for being strong and upholding the law !
Yeah, you probably shouldn't say in court, on the record that you're taking directions from a SCOTUS judge who has no jurisdiction over your current case.
Judge Chutkan being so polite when she tells Trump's lawyer he's full of crap. I like her.
Lauro will never get paid anyway, what a buffoon.
I would think this dude was smart enough to get a huge retainer up front. If not, then he’s a real doofus just like his “client.”
Lauro may never get paid by Trump, but defending him will bolster his standing among the Project 2025 extremist right nutburgers.
Even after Trump goes down in flames, we'll be seeing him again.
Thank you so much for this Lawrence. You made this the easiest explanation out of anyone else all day. Much appreciated.
Innocent people would want to get a court case over with.
Please, continue to shine the white-hot spotlight on those among us with the spines to refuse to pledge fealty to that clown. They are our beacons, showing all of us the way back to sanity. Oh, and, yes, VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Please lock him up and throw away the key along with his Supreme Court corrupt justices! Will be so good to never hear that whiny voice again!!
Gosh you must be cuckoo to support Harris. She is very far Left and pretending to be all floaty. Can’t string a sentence together and laughs like a hyena. America deserves so much better TRUMP 👍
Wish your laws in the United States would allow this, but some how the United States is slow in convicting its corrupt political entities. There is definitely two tiered justice system,in the States, those who can afford good defence lawyers and those, who cant.
@@DougFraser-wu7plI know biden,Pelosi and Harris are still out.shocking
@@paulagilbert1982 And yet the greatest headaches and criminal politicians who are trying to destroy the American government are all REPUBLICANS.
@@paulagilbert1982 Yes, well, first they have to have actual crimes to indict them for. The GOP has spent millions of taxpayer money pursuing Biden, for instance (meanwhile not doing anything for the constituents they're supposed to represent and help)-- and after two years, what have they found? Nothing. I'd say the crime here is wasting taxpayer money and refusing to govern, and that would be a GOP crime.
Thanks Lawrence 💕 Love that judge 💕
You know what REALLY was a sensitive time? January 6, 2021.
it was russia russia russia for 4 yrs and then j6 ever since. where is joe biden hows he doin?
@@Sean-ry4fi Joe Biden just got back to DC from vacation and is going to hit the campaign trail endorsing Kamala Harris for President. That's where Joe is. Where is Trump besides one of his golf courses? If Trump wants to win, he needs to get off the golf course and be consistent in holding his rallies.
@@Sean-ry4fi Actually its Russia now, AND J6, and criminal charges, AND Covid deaths, AND... This is not an OR case, Trump has a long list of failures both before, during and after his presidency.
@@vickyabramowitz2885 he is holding a bunch of rallies even after he got shot. Biden disappeared for a few weeks after he dropped out of the race cause he has Parkinsons disease and dementia most likely.
He has to go to the golf course to MOURN at his X--wife's grave......poor guy
Mr O’Donnell, thank you for maintaining honesty and integrity in journalism. You are in a rare position.
I'll believe it when/if I see it. This nightmare just keeps going on and on.
Great 👍👍can’t wait for it hold him accountable next! it’s long overdue ! Vote blue 💙💙💙💙💙for our sanity !!!
He will walk, I'm shocked ppl still think he's going to jail

Come back, right here, and we can rejoice when he is found guilty!
Trump has an appointment with a guilty verdict.
Always a pleasure to listen to you reporting. Thank you Lawrence!
Thank you for standing up to the media and exposing him and all his cronies!

Lawrence. It’s so good to hear you. You should be on every night.
God bless you Lawrence.Keep up the good work.
I am so proud of Judge Chutkin and her no-nonsense work! Let's get this show on the road and move forward fast!
For someone who claims that he did nothing wrong sure is trying very hard to not go to trial. If he is so innocent you think he would want to go to trial to clear his name. But we all know that he is GUILTY! Who does he think he's kidding? LOCK HIM UP ALREADY!!
Yep!! Don't need immunity if you're innocent!
@claritpadilla7110 He’s fooling all the MAGA cult, as usual.
That will be one of the most beautiful days for many Americans, and many eyes will be opened
YOU HAVE BEEN A CONSISTENT
“TRUTH-TELLER as long as I can
remember! May GOO BLESS YOU!🙏. Greetings from Colorado!🔵
Ah, that does my heart good.
Illegal acts are, by definition, not official acts.
Nixon argued the same thing about immunity. He was yeeted out of office.
@@eliflynn7282 Well, Nixon was never worshiped as a demigod, and he didn't stack the Supreme Court in his favor. We are in a dire position now, with the Supreme Court making up new rules. They aren't even trying to hide their bribery schemes.
Dunno, I can't see them ever agreeing to this, US presidents on the basis of international law do plenty of illegal things, hence why they'd always use 'official' in wording over say 'illegal'.
@@eliflynn7282 Nixon argued the opposite - he argued that if the president does it, it is by definition not illegal.
@@balok63a40 yes and Nixon's argument was soundly rejected.
Lauro stepped in it, big time, when he mentions that Justice Thomas said the issue needs to be raised. The entire idea is ludicrous and w/o legal merit.
Lawrence O'Donnell is the BEST in this business. He is a NATIONAL ASSET.
He is the most biased unbalanced and unfair person on any news channel. He doesn't even try to be fair. Literally on the DNC payroll. Not sure how that is an asset.
Never in my life would I'd thought America would have this type of mess going on in 2024. Justice Matters for everyone who breaks the law. Unless you're rich. Just Vote BLUE for Peace sakes🇺🇲🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
TRUTH
The usa is a lawless country cos the laws were created by shady, wealthy old White men for themselves ..
A sad state of affairs
Lawrence you are outstanding! Thank you for all you do.
I love his sweet smile and gentle yet firm voice of reason!
Thank you for your professional integrity in this report!
Good for the judge.
It's past Trumpie's jail time.

Thank you Lawrence for being the most eloquent news presenter in the country. You take complex issues, dissect them in a coherent manner and lay out the common sense conclusion. i wish all news outlets were as clear spoken and intellectually honest as your yourself. I hope you realize the effort you put in to keeping America “well” informed has not gone unnoticed.
Are you being serious?. Or joking. Honest question. He literally sounds like a slow word salad and has to get a required number of words in his story. Like back when you had a school essay that has a required word minimum. Had to toss in BS words to get to that number. Lol. Sad really.
@@MMAKingRayLet's compare and contrast...a "man" with a fourth grade vocabulary level vomited up this word salad:
"Look, having nuclear - my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart - you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world - it's true! - but when you're a conservative Republican they try - oh, do they do a number - that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune - you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged - but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me - it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are - nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? - but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners - now it used to be three, now it's four - but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years - but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."
@Perversion12 is that really your argument a choppy way to get a point across vs someone adding BS words to get emphasis ?. It doesnt even matter really. I go to all new channels to get both sides and i get ppl like you with No open mind that their news may be not how the world really is.. Only defense of total crap and will defend to the end. Which will be soon.
@Perversion12 and WOW. You really typed all that....?.
Thank you Lawrence O'Donnell...........
In my opinion, he is only getting away with these dragged-out convictions because this is the United States of America. Somewhere else wouldn't tolerate this behavior this long.
Where else is that?
@@DR-jd8vcMost normal countries.
Such as?
In the UK, criminal cases are heard before anyone can object to them. Only, once the case has been heard, can an appeal be considered. The American system needs to be changed to stop those stupid appeals before the case has even begun.
@@DR-jd8vc Europe (mostly), the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Island nations, some African nations, India, most Asian nations. Shall I continue?
What an embarrassing argument. And to have the audacity to call Aileen Cannon a respected judge is the icing on the cake. She’s a joke.
@jennifer60515 Cannon should, at the Very Least, be Sanctioned for her BLATANT BIASED RULINGS. In order to get her IMPEACHED would require the Congress and Senate to do so. I don’t see the latter happening, unfortunately.
Like I previously said stalling for time. That's you Lawrence for being so informative, God bless you.
Attempted stitch up in favour of the SPOILED ROTTEN orange one!
It's times like this when I feel helpless and angry about the stupidity of it all that I reflect on how marginalized people have felt for forever . . . and how strong they have had to be to simply endure in the face of it all. Respect.
Seeing is believing!!!
❤ Lawrence O’DONNELL
Yes, Judge Chutkan, thank you!!!
Love Lawrence O’Donnell
Everything Trump is a slow-moving train wreck.
