I have never and will never understand how trump was President,and to think that people will vote for him again,beggars belief,👿👿👿
DT won 2016 election before the polls closes and Bill Barr shut down on the Muller investigation 🔵🔵🔵🔵
Yes beggars belief!
If you expect rational behavior, none of it makes sense. A few researchers are analyzing it as a cult. They think it fits. I wondered if they were stretching the truth at first. Recently I saw videos done by comedians who did interviews at rallies. They ask questions and get really bizarre answers.
Trump confesses in public he doesn't pay contractors and people laugh and thinks its a cute thing to do and say. The hypocrisy
Not those that got stiffed. He isn't cute or smart, just a crook.
It's disgusting, not cute. You pay people for their work. If you don't like their work, you ask for it to be fixed or a concession. Why would anyone want to love in a unprofessional world where no one felt the need to maintain their contractual obligations? Even if you are purely selfish, it's better for everyone to understand expectations and have honest interactions.
@@viveksmom- it is disgusting, but YES, trump is the one who thinks he is clever and “cute” when he is able to get away with what is, essentially, THEFT from the contractors he hired do work for him. He constantly brags and LAUGHS about how he rips off his contractors! It’s just more evidence of his total lack of morals and ethics
And most of his cult are working class. Would they be happy about not being paid for their work?
A friend of mine had a security company that guarded a few of his construction sites overnight and weekends all over NYC and over time Trump owed his company over $600,000. His company went under due to non payment..... FU Trump
Cohen is not on trial. Trump is.
Vote blue and end this clown show.

Thank you Michael Cohen for taking Trump's money 💰😄
While I kind of get the defense questions, at the end of the day Cohen isn’t on trial but Trump is and it seems like main stream media forgets this. Thank you Harry for helping us to stay calm.
Corporate Media is still carrying djt's piss buckets.......they desire more tax cuts.
We no longer have media other than MTN!

I think the strongest moment was finding out they were paying a company to skew a poll.
Cohen negotiating a lower fee for fixing a poll? Then keeping the thirty grand. Von shitzinpants in any other circumstance would call that smart. Besides you know stinky just figured 50 thousand?
That's cheap for rigging a poll.
He knew what was going down.
I think it is nice that the defense brought up the pay off of the results of poll. Wonder how many other polls take bribes.
I bet von shitzinpants knows quite a few.
I thought that's what Cohen said the "stolen money" was for??
Yes, that matters and they’re probably doing it right this second.
Here’s what gets me about this country, People here will still vote for trump even if he is convicted and goes to jail.
Not only that but…those same people call Biden dishonest. They are willfully confused.
Sad, isn't it.
all of humanity is/are on spectrums.
Why is he running if he doesn’t trust elections?
There’s no secret about why… right and wrong, lawfulness and lawlessness… he’s convinced people it’s ok to be on the dark side of this “spectrum”. I mean he said he knows people will vote for him even if he shoots someone on the street.That’s MAGA for you.
Everyone knew Trump wasn’t going testify 😂😂😂
Especially as he said he would.
@@brugesfool8440right? The easiest way to know he wont do something is if he says he will
Mama, don't let your baby grow up to be a delusional and lying MAGA...
@@brugesfool8440 Anyone wanna take bets about him backing out of the debates with President Biden?
@@tw_72 He will - he is already making noise about "not fair".
Admission to the theft makes him more credible IMO.
Agreed
🎯
Yeah! trump owed him money right?
@@waynefoote3781yes
I believe you're right. I think I would have asked Trump first and and have him sign an agreement abt the money, but the photo showed all
week
Donald Thrump is caught red handed. He is a micro manager. So no room to claim I didn’t know.
Donald your guilty and you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t cheap.😂
Yes, he didn’t notice because all his crap about being a great businessman is crap. Or he (at least Weisselberg) absolutely knew Cohen was taking a cut - since they didn’t employ him and didn’t pay him retainers either.
It sounds like a deniable way of giving Cohen commission without anyone paying any tax, and without Trump having to declare what it was.
Give Cohen a lump sum and make him negotiate as much as he can off the top. Eg, give him 30k in cash (petty cash to Trump inc) and he negotiates to pay a guy 20k. And if he’s no good at it, the guy successfully holds out for 25 or 28 and Cohen is left with a couple of thou commission.
It would not surprise me if Weisselberg also took a few thou cut off every job he gave Cohen, in exchange for Cohen being able to do the same. Over 50 years, it adds up.
Trumpopath never lives in the present but is focused on his next narcissistic supply, then the next, then the next...
Mama, don't let your baby grow up to be a delusional and lying MAGA...
He could have given Cohen a job in the WH and claimed executive privilege but he’s a cheap jerk.
He could have pled to a misdemeanor and paid a fine…but again….
It’s pretty obvious at this point that the old man is sipping…and it’s not Teflon that’s making him slip🤷🏼♀️
A cheap Cheat!
Awesome! Someone STOLE from T for a change!
A drop in the bucket in comparison!
Stickin' it to The Man every day.
It's a pitty he diden't get more from trump well done michael
Cohen had to be dirty or he couldn't have worked for Trump's organization! Only difference is he decided to not continue . He had epiphany moments.
Loving this show of support :)
Poetic justice. If you’re going to stiff someone for 30 grand, you might as well do it to someone who’s spent their life stiffing others.
Don Trump is such a great "bid'ness man", he paid $130,000 for "Hush"..
..and EVERYBODY, including his lawyer,... talked! There's absolute comedy gold, there.
Nope he paid 320K (130x2+60) excluding Refinch stuff.
didn't he pay for tush?
@@user-gl5kj1fm5xIf memory serves, he hinted at having Daniels on The Apprentice, but did not hire her for sex. I've not watched the show or looked it up, so it's not clear to me whether that was another example of *ahem* Mein Trumpf stiffing someone.
According to May 7th reporting, she had hoped to be on The Apprentice, but never ended up on the show. There was nothing written about her being hired for sex, only that she had been invited to an event in Lake Tahoe, where they met at a hotel, and he made sexual advances.
She said, on the stand during the trial, that he told her, "This is the only way you're getting out of the trailer park."
@@StankFernatra well according to playboy bunny Karen McDougall he offered her money afterwards ... classy.
Stormy he used the Apprentice as bait.
Obviously, he meets a porn star at the Wicked Pictures sponsored golf hole and invites her over to dinner without food or leaving the bedroom to talk about religion.

If you dug 26 holes from A to Z Trump would be the A Hole!😅
I tried ro report this for being #1 comment 🔥🔥😎🤝🇺🇲Vote💙💙💙
Harry, I always listen to your synopsis and Andrew Wiseman's for accurate analysis. The best.
Thanks Harry for all you do 😮
Where's Trump's testimony, and while we're asking questions, where's Melania?
I've been suspicious from the beginning that Cohen will throw the Orange a life line because this whole trial is about delay at the tax payers expense. Cohen says him and his family get threats every day.I will be taken aback if theirs a conviction of any kind. It may get thrown out of court just in time for more delays.
@@heatherlunergan6935🤦🏼♀️
As far away from Trump as possible.
@@heatherlunergan6935Sadly, the boy looks far too much like Stinky Don to be the son of anyone else.
"When you're a star, they let you do it."
- Donald 'Miss Universe' Trump
"And you consider yourself to be a star?"
- E. Jean Carroll lawyer, in deposition
"I think you can say that, yeah."
- Defendant Donald 'John' Trump
So he took an overpayment on a reimbursement which the defense says is not a reimbursement. So the defense is trying to catch itself in a lie.
So-called "stolen $$$" already accounted for in the notes on reimbursement doc.
LOL, you cannot count.
@@1247.cccccc and you can't think...for yourself.
@@1247.cccccc Neither can your lord and master it seems. Wind it in, you don't have the ability.
@@baronmeduse Cope harder. The case is garbage, the facts show the prosecution is biased and the Judge is in the tank. You're all simply pathetic.
These cases should be brought against profiteering banks that caused the financial meltdown in 2008.
Seems like a weak defense. It feels as if their setting things up to claim ineffective counsel or they no intention of accepting a verdict!! Scary!!
Bobble Heads
Closing argument should be trump had cohen as personal lawyer , because of cohen's questionable ethics
and the reason cohen would hold out 30k was because of trump's questionable ethics
Can we call Cohen an : ex-fall-man ?
The jury should be instructed to focus on the facts presented by the prosecutors and not to be distracted by the monkey wrenches the defense is inserting in the case.
🎯
Trump confesses in public he doesn't pay contractors and people laugh and thinks its a cute thing to do and say. The hypocrisy.
i told a small businessman about trump cheating contractors.
his response?
"i like what he says".
how can you argue with that "logic"?
I hope this "small businessman" likes it when he doesn't get paid for the goods or services he supplies.
@@fionaanderson5796 He likely blames it on 'the Democrats'. These people are allergic to reasoned thought.
Not paying the contractors is not funny for the contractors.
MC needs to keep his mouth shut until all this legal BS is over.
In dealing with the invoice from RedFinch, Cohen used a skill he learned from Trump: get them to do the work then pay them pennies on the dollar!
I think Cohen was perfectly able to do this on his own, and knew of these methods already.
@@mikaelbiilmann6826 I'm not so sure, he learned from Trump's book; he was working for Trump, whom he idolized. A lot like MAGA goombahs do now. Anyhow, it's not a critical part of the proof.
@@dmann1115 He didn't learn anything from Trump. Cohen was a lawyer and a crook, and I am pretty darn sure he knew every little dirty trick in the book. Cohen has tricked so many into believing he is the innocent poor soul who was tricked into working for Trump, found out and regretted and flipped. He only flipped because trump tried to leave Cohen to his own devices, shattering Cohen's idea of a guy that kept his word, protected his minions and held his words.
Odd to call it a skill, no? I can think of a few other words for it.
💙💙💙💙
💙💙💙💙ThankyouMichael-GREAT JOB‼️
Thanks Harry❤
I'm glad there is a period of time for everyone to ponder this situation.
Good job, Harry
Yeah sure, THAT was not shocking.
"Sure I took my cut"
Great stuff, Harry
Good to know there are two lawyers in this jury who hopefully will be able to parse out relevance of testimony/evidence to charges
LOL after hours of testimony discussing how disreputable lawyers are, I wouldn't wonder if those two hadn't started to feel a bit nervous about being lawyers in a jury for a case involving lawyers, all about how they do business. Sometimes fairly, sometimes not so fair.
Way to go Michael
Great news Harry
Gotta love littman.
Thank you, that clarified a few things. I follow you from 🇳🇴.
Thanks Harry, following from Greece!
Thanks Harry. I can’t help but feeling very disappointed learning today the “theft” news, despite the difficult circumstances surrounding the reimbursements.
the jury knows that cohen was hired and kept close for 10 years by the defendant SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE cohen was a shady, lying, thieving FELLOW CRIMINAL.
I do wonder, though… Since they didn’t formally employ Cohen, and they didn’t oay him a retainer, how was he meant to get paid? 10k is literally petty cashnto Trump Inc. i think they just expected him to take the 30k, see what he could negotiate the payment down to, and keep the rest as commission.
No paperwork, not traceable to them, tax free. Cohen knows that if he denies theft he instead gets into tax fraud, and Trump gets to burn him either way.
This is the way Trump keeps people in line, he suborns everyone, he offers everyone to have more money if they take it crooked, which allows him to not document, or t9 falsify documentation.
But the defense said payments to Cohen were for his legal services and suggested Cohen was retained.
So this seems to undermine their explanation of the 420K payments.
Ben meiselas didnt Call it theft, do you agree with ben?
JUSTICE IS 🤡’S 🎪 & 45 IN JAIL!!!
⚖️ ⚖️🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇸⚖️⚖️
Thank you Mr. Litman!!
Will it be enough and does Trump have a ringer on the jury. I hope they come back quickly with a verdict finding him guilty of all charges.
Harry: “…not going to be Trump to testify”
EVERYONE else: “Surprise, surprise”
Thank you Harry✨🇺🇸✨💙✨
Thank you
Thank you Harry.
thanks for the clarity
Water is wet. The sky is blue. You'll never find someone with clean hands and inside dirt on a criminal enterprise. 🤷
Hi Harry, love your stuff
Harri, thanks for the quick and concise.
Thanks for the update. ❤
Very Interesting 🤔
Cohen learned from Trump on how to stiff those you owe. Cohen was one in the same with Trump.
Birds of a feather flock together.
How can the defense complain Michael Cohen over-charged on reimbursement when they're saying it was a legal retainer and NOT reimbursement for illegal campaign contribution of 130K?
Trump knew who Cohen was, hired him, had good use of his mob-like methods and tried to stiff him. Big mistake. 😂
But,,,Cohen and Capone were much better Humans.
"Was" is the operative word!
💙 Yes, vote blue! But we need to do more than vote! Make donations, call the campaigns and volunteer. Contact Vote Save America, MoveOn, or Lean Left to help with their programs. There is much to be done. Let's not wake up in November with the same (or worse) nightmare we had in 2016 - remember that? 💙
What @trumpetingangel said.
Might want to check in with the Meidas Touch, there was a good explination for some of the stuff mentioned.
Hey everyone Fernando here ,thanks Harry for the heads-up, my man , how ya doin
Oh good, Fernando arrived.
I think Fernando is cool😊
3:28 PM EDT Defense calls Robert Costello, a lawyer who talked with Cohen.
A guy already found to be non-credible by a grand jury and one Michael Cohen knew he couldn't trust.
That is not a good thing because Costello will lie lie and lie
@@dlcs1406 he has, said Cohen paid Stormy without tRumps knowledge
Costello made headlines for all the wrong reasons today. I was also stuck that he is Bannon's lawyer too - totally in on the fascist violent uprising agenda. Don't have a conscience about lying on the stand, that's for sure.
Harry, your comments are great! You don't need the "SHOCKING NEWS" in the title. I wasn't particularly shocked!
Tks Harry 💙💙💙
Thank you Mr. Litman
Good work, Harry!
Thanks Harry
Thanks, Harry!
Thanks Harry💙
Thank you Harry 💙
Hi Harry! Thank you!!
My understanding is defence didn't address in anyway what the 130k was for as it was an amount specifically notated by weiselman etc.
*shrug* choen isn't on trial this time...just shows a bunch of corrupt assholes doing corrupt things with and to each other
Honor amongst thieves does not exist in the Diaper Don Criminal Organization. High Five! 🤣
as has been said , it's a big F-ing deal
Thanks Harry!!
This was obviously posted before Bob Costello put on his disgraceful show.
👍 HARRY LITMAN 👍
It’s always a pleasure listening to your opinions on this
Good Sir Harry. Please don't point the camera at a bright window behind you.
And up the nose.
Thank you for your insights.
If I was on the jury I would have thought good for him
Anyone who steals from The Fascist Monster should get the Presidential Medal Of Freedom. Get to it Joe !
Thanks for the summary Harry
thanks harry 💪🏽
Thanks Harry 💙
Hi Harry! I enjoy ALL your videos! When you speak with Michael again, will you please ask him if he will run for congress.? He said that today in court! If I still lived in NYC I would vote for him

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻MC
Mr. Litman, please turn around when next you film. You are hidden in backlight from the windows. If you reverse your camera set-up, you can use that free window light to light the scene so we can see you. Also consider raising your phone/camera so the lens is at your eye level or slightly above. It's a much more flattering face angle. Attention to production values creates a more professional presentation which subliminally increases your perceived authority in the eyes of any viewer. (I was in the biz for 30 years.)
Disappointed they couldn't wrap it up this week! What a waste of time.
Confused by the title of this video Harry
Thanks!
Cohen stole from the vendor.
Thanks Harry for the update. Blanche really thought this was a performance skit. He seems to have forgotten of mis-spoke some of his lines. Happy that Michael Cohen completed his testimony and can rest easy for a few days.
Good for cohen.
Thank you Harry!
Do you remember what you had for lunch last Tuesday?
Whoa! Did Trump wake up for that?!
Poor Cohen! They are grilling him! Did Trump go to Barrons graduation?
Yes.
So Trump has graduated?
Yes, Diaper Don still does not realize that Barron is Trudeau's son.
