Joe on Robert Costello: I've never seen this before from a witness

- Опубликовано: 20 май 2024
- The Morning Joe panel recaps Day 19 of Trump's criminal hush money trial, which included a heated exchange between New York state Judge Juan Merchan and defense witness, attorney Robert Costello.
Now you know why Cohen didn't want to hire Costello.
He did hire him. But he never paid him because Cohen is an admitted thief and a liar.
Perhaps one of Cohen's wiser moves....
And here I thought trump was the biggest stooge in the trial. Costello just turned this into the Jerry Springer show. Next up trump's defense team will call Dr. Aaron Rodgers NY Jets to defend trump's Covid response.
@@therock8288 Or Herman Caine's widow.
Cohen was too cheap to pay Costello.
Please don't call him "President" he's just a defendant!
He’s President Trump.
You can't just "cancel" the correct way to address a former President of the US...
Derp
@@sayhisnamelibsDJT24 You call him "former President".

Then we should not call Hillary secretary when she goes on TV. We shouldn't call Obama president, because he's just a citizen now. What's good for the goose is good for the gander
Stop calling him “president trump”.
He is the former president, and can be called former president or Mr Trump once he leaves office. He shouldn't, but he does.
@@janinelemieux3099i'll just call him lord fuckwad.

I AGREE !!! CALL HIM " CRIMINAL DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP" !!!
Former President just like other were
Merchan is doing all he can to rule over this case without causing a mistrial.
Yes!
shouldve been nmistrail already, when the star witness admitted to lying about the only evidence they have, and admitting to stealing money from trump.
He's really blooming patient, my lord. It is obvious they are getting desperate and trying to cause a mistrial.
Judge Merchan has very patient ballsofsteel
It's already a mistrial. Merchan is doing all he can to railroad Pres. Trump
Stop calling that kitty grabber "President". Call him Criminal Defendant or something else, please

Mr Costello was extremely disrespectful. Glad Judge Merchan called him out on his disrespectful behavior.
Enjoy Communism, no more free sh** for you.
The biggest black eye to the US judicial system ever, nothing even comes close to this agenda driven crap. The high courts in the country need to start calling this bs scheme out for what it is and this judge needs to be held responsible for the mess that this kangaroo court is. Completely PATHETIC JOKE! Totally unprofessional.
If Judge Merchan is not Times Man of the Year, I will never buy another one.

@@williamrudolph3481Good then nobody will by on!
Why are folk still calling him President Trump?? He is former president or Mr. Trump.
The correct term for a former president is President. Are there any more questions I can help you with?
ONLY CRIMINAL DEFENDANT MR. TRUMP !
tRump is a former president... Not the acting president. We could call him Don the Con!
Former Failed President is the correct term.
because he will be your next president
the judge made it clear if you want to act like a gangster i'll treat you like one Robert
The Judge made it clear to the jury that this case is a sham, and that he's thoroughly corrupt.
Fairly and wisely done by the judge! Kudos and salute for Democracy! Shame to all this clown show by the defense
Costello's performance was just brilliant. He put the final nail in Trump's coffin.
True
Blanche and Habba should have law school scholarships set up in their names for being the attorneys who finally brought Drumpf down. :)
They really have portrayed the Trump Org. as a cadre of frightened mobster-wannabes. I cannot wait for the guilty verdict.
@@lemonadestand4386 Habba has no shame and doesn't care she has 4 million dollars and counting
But will us law have the guts to put dump trump in jail ? He should of been there already by now.
Please stop calling him “president “ he doesn’t deserve to be called that.
It's the correct term so log off if you don't like it.
@@argielitano, at best he is a former president! Fet your facts straight!
Amen to that
In that courtroom, he's "Defendant Trump."
It’s not a matter of desert. The presidency isn’t an honor one is raised to, like a knighthood. It’s an office of the republic. A man takes it up and lays it down when his term ends.
Judge Merchan sounds like an awesome man.
I love Judge Merchant very good Judge

Yeah, if he allowed the clown to continue with this disrespectful behavior - that would be chaos.

Costello sealed Trump fate. He's going to prison.

For 45 to have demanded that Costello be a witness was like having a mob boss be on the stand acting like a " tough guy". Despicable display of disrespect and I applaud Judge Merchan on his measured warnings continually and adherence to the decorum for his courtroom. Costello was a loose cannon.
Costello should lose his law license !
If Trump took the stand he would be even worse, more disrespoectful than Costello.
Mebbe Costello was Trump's trial balloon.
tRump would have lied, whined, blamed, bullied, in other words the same things he always does, and get free air time by the media. I can't wait until he is gone forever.
The judge would've had to clear out all of Manhattan
😂😂😂
Costello should be told a jail cell awaits if his demeanour continues.
Costello doesn't strike me as someone who would be afraid of 48 hours in jail. You understand there are people like that in the world, don't you? Some people you just can't intimidate.
@@user-tg4ir4yu7x Do you think it is because he isn't bright enough to understand that he is so close to going to jail? Or do you think trump has some kind of grip on him to make him try so hard to flip this trial over? 🤔

I am in Aus. The judicial system needs reform like everything else in the USA. It is no longer the leader of the free world. It's crazy and sad at the same time. I like Merchan but I wish he was harder on trump and his minions.
Willie, stop calling him president.
Please 🥴
Willie knows what he is doing.
Why wasn't Costello charged with contempt of court? Who is afraid of these maga clowns ???
He was warned. Merchan is going to remove him and charge him with contempt in the first 2 minutes this morning if he comes back with the same act.
Afraid of MAGA followers they will do anything for Trump!
"Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (Virginia chicken?)
It is a prudent judge that recognises that the Trump team are angling for a mistrial.
Also that an appeal will be lodged if Trump is found guilty.
Why are they afraid of those guy treat the like everyone with less money put them in jail they want it let them have it .treat them like poor ,black,an brown folks
Merchan is great, can you imagine if Aileen Cannon were conducting this trial? Donald lost this case the minute an honest and brave judge got it to hear.
The case with no crime?
The only thing Judge Merchan promised is a FAIR trial. Cannon will not permit that. The fix is in down in Florida. Not so in NY.
@@WinstonSmith24cry some more maggat troll. 😂😂😂
@@WinstonSmith24 Better than crimes with no cases. Every defendant who doesn't plead guilty is presumed innocent until a trial determines the outcome. The guiltier a defendant is, the louder they scream "No crime! I'm innocent!" Try 'em anyway.

Diaper Don like many around him is a narcissist with the emotional maturity of a child.

Trying to get the case thrown out. Just anything to appease Trump. Sad

In separate cells. Not fair to other inmates to make them listen to him playing it.

"No, no, this is not a conversation". Exactly how you would treat a recalcitrant 6-year-old.
That kind of behaviour will not go down well with the jury.
Seems like Costello is nothing more than a grumpy old man who has gone beyond his time and hasn't learned that it's time to go.
Better hope not. Because that's America. That's who he is.
Not a good idea to give the judge a stink eyes 😮

Putting them in contempt would be playing right into their hands. He's using the exact ladder so any appeals court doesn't have an excuse to turn over the jury's decision
Sure MC paid $130K out of his own pocket , without Trumps knowledge … what BS!! Bob Costello totally playing to DT.

Never in my life would I have seen grown older adults act with such disrespect and cowardly at the same time when it comes to within the legal system.
Thank you justice merchan..
But the fact that Cohen admitted his mistakes makes him all the more credible to the jury because those mistakes were 7 years ago and so the defense's alleged points immediately backfire, especially with a witness like Costello right after Cohen. Cohen was grilled for about 20 hours over 4 days and performed admirably the entire time. The defense witness was on the stand for less than 30 minutes and provoked the judge to no end.
Also, the prosecution had already addressed the alleged 'Perry Mason moments' on their part, both lying and stealing by Cohen. It is therefore no wonder that the jury became increasingly bored.
The jury is bored because after Day 19 the prosecution still hasn’t clarified an actual crime, let alone evidence of it.
@@WinstonSmith24BS Artist
Pull the other one doc. It plays jingle bells.
Cohen had already talked about keeping $30K of the $50K he secured for a vendor Trump was going to stiff in his direct testimony. There was no new revelation yesterday like Trump's cult is trying to claim.
@@WinstonSmith24they stated it early in the case. The prosecutor listed three crimes that Trump intended to commit: violation of federal campaign finance limits, violation of state election laws by unlawfully influencing the 2016 election, and violation of state tax laws regarding the reimbursement.
And the indictment charged 34 counts of falsifying business records.
The case was opened in 2019 so it is within the statue of limitations. They couldn't formally start the case because the OLC has a policy not to charge a sitting President with a criminal charge. But as soon as 2021 hit and trump was out of office the DA was free to proceed with his investigation.
Trump's lawyer know he's legally toasted . Have a maga free day
I have so much respect for Judge Merchan. He's shown he is up to the task no judge would ever want. He's thoughtful, temperate, intelligent and reasonable. He's handling himself and his courtroom with dignity and calmness. No matter the outcome of this trial, I have faith that he has run it as well as it could be.
So very sad that so called judge Cannon can’t find the integrity, intelligence or the responsibility to behave anywhere close to the standard of judge Merchan👏👏
Fox won’t report on Costello’s behaviour!! None surprising!
Of course they are reporting on it. It is so obvious that every time Costello said something they didn't like the judge tried to shut him up.
@@argielitayah think that the guy was disrespectful to the judge and he did it right in front of the jury? DUH!

Costello was taking the Judge"s measure. He found out that the Judge is a strong and powerful man.
Judge Merchan is too lenient with the kids, Trump, Clown Costello & the many more defending lawyers. TOTALLY DISGRACEFUL.
You don't know what you're talking about. The Judge first has to advice that the person is behaving comtemptuosly than if it is repeated then and only then can he find him in comptempt.

One day closer to going to the jury. We can only hope.
The terms we used to use was "punk". You know the old saying "a fish rots from the head"? Well Little Donnie Dolittle is at the top of this steaming pile💩
I’m Norwegian and must pose the question. What on earth is going on in the once great United States? No respect for any of your great institutions. If I was American I would be seriously worried that my country was falling apart - at speed.
I could see Trump the night before. He thinks he’s the Godfather calling
“COSTELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,
Come try to throw my case.”
🤡🤡🤡 This is what the defense witness is -- a Joke and disgrace.
If you are a liar, fraud, conman who do you hire to work for you? A liar, a fraud and a conman.
Defendant Drumpf has to sit in his SOILED DIAPERS until the judge grants a break, then Waltine Nauta can change his diaper.
You have the mind of a 5 year old child....maybe you are 5.
He would be all too happy to do that, too - haha.
Trump's behavior is lousy but understandable. People like Nauta are just the lowest of the low, and he's a fool if he thinks Trump doesn't think of him as disposable too. Hahahah
Bootlickers ! I really love that name, may it stick forever. "The Supreme Bootlickers", there is a great name for history.
We all know who insisted on having Costello testify!
They said the jurors were shaking their heads. The judge finally growing cajones. Do this to Don Fartsalot now.
I think a lot Drumpf frustration got dumped on Costello....and that's fine by me.
It's so obvious what Robert Costello was attempting to do....he was trying to get Judge Merchan to lose his cool as a basis for a mistrial.
I wish you would focus on the unjust behavior of the Georgian Republicans against Fani Willis who seems to be standing alone.
It seems Costello was forced to testify and to say whatever it took to shine a positive light on Trump. He's indebted to Trump.
Sideshow Bob 🤡
Would be interesting if Trump took the stand how it would go down, would love to hear judge slapping Trumps bottom also..
Despicable people do disgusting things
Great color from Lisa Rubin about the interaction between Judge Merchan & Costello, I love her description of the image on the screen when cameras in the courtroom went back on in the overthrow room, with Costello looking contrite and Merchan firmly back in control. Judge Merchan is trying very hard to make sure this case doesn't get overturned on appeal, which is why Trump isn't coming to court in chains. But it's infuriating how the judiciary does so little to reign in Trump's egregious attacks on our judiciary. I agree with Joe, he *should* be coming to the trial in an orange jumpsuit. But my fury will be mollified if we get a guilty verdict that's held up on the umpteen appeals Trump--bc of his wealth--will be able to afford to make. Most of us could barely afford to pay lawyers for one trial, let alone take appeals all the way to the SCOTUS.
It seems to me that Cohen admitting he stole $30,000 from Trump was a blow to the defense, bc it shows he has reformed, that he's continuing to own up to the fact that as a Trump employee he played fast and loose with the law. If he was truly a liar he would've denied taking the money. And isn't it the pot calling the kettle black for Trump, or the New York Post, to call anyone else a con artist? Rupert Murdoch came to America to be a media mogul and take control of the GOP so he could have lower taxes, not out of any love of our nation, if he loved our nation he wouldn't support a man who's constantly tearing us down. He wouldn't let his media outlets constantly tear our nation down either, he wouldn't allow his opinion hosts to punish Congressinal Republicans who dare to compromise with Dems in order to get things done.
Why is Trump always the "top story"? It's been that way since the end of 2014. Just stop.
It's because Biden has become unelectable. 😂😂
Because he and his supporters are trying to establish a dictatorship.
Because they don't like it when people who don't look like them have power.

I never thought the difference between rich and poor would ever be as clear as it was yesterday.
There has been double standards. No matter what happens, I doubt Trump will see Prison Time. Costello is only causing chaos in the courtroom, maybe we should be asking why would he do that. Costello should already know he can't do that in the courtroom.
