Trumps making history, I’ve never seen so many people so afraid of one man in all my life
You've confused afraid with embarrassing......Trump was an embarrassment to our country. Other world leaders openly laughed at him and made joke about him. Putin called him a buffoon and "useful" on Russian tv. He was the worst president and has become the worst ex president. Prison is too good for him
Psychopaths with power ARE scary!
Oh, it's not fear, Yuri. It's anger. He's a criminal, everyone knows it even his cult, the only difference is real Americans are pissed at his brazen lawlessness and his minions don't care
He is just another stinking politician trying to get elected.
Should be locked up.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final most essential command.
George Orwell 1984
That party belongs to you.
Nowadays that party is call MAGA
New York is not the location of the supreme court. As for laws, go to work, speaker of the house and get some passed for all Americans.
Every time congress passes a law the world goes down hill. Are you sure you want more?
How about repealing all tariffs related to solar so the US can afford it.
Repeal laws not create them. That is what would help Americans.
Guarantee you would never say this to palpatine pelosi!
i have lost faith in the republican party because of this nonsense
Me too....in 1971.
Financial criminals & street criminals should not be allowed to govern.
I know, Biden needs to go.
And here we are with Biden as president.
Totally agreed! Biden needs to be charged and impeached. It’s disgusting
It’s crazy how people still support him despite the evidence, every person tRump hired was arrested, for doing what tRump wanted
Guess ya can’t fix what’s broken :/
Why have a justice system? We could just have Mike show up and randomly decide cases. No more juries, no trials, no evidence to hear, no due process.
A lawyer not caring about the law, disgraceful Mike
"They won't let us block the small foyer for 45 minutes while the courts are attempting to do their business. Boo hoo hoo."
I mean same with the Capitol on January 6th. The " Protesters" just wanted to come into the Speaker's Office and House floor to exercise their Freedom of Speech during a Congressional proceeding...... ( Read that dripping with sarcasm)
Johnson, the judge doesn't want you to influence a jury so there is a fair trial.
@@marthasimons7940 alas, I think that the legal difference here is intent to obstruct. Gumming up the foyer without intent to obstruct unassociated court business doesn't indicate that intent, it just indicates that they're whiny bombastic assholes who feel entitled to do what they want, when they want, where they want and that the world around them needs to grind to a halt to accommodate them.
What happened to his prosecutorial experience? Back in the day he must’ve known what was right and wrong.
What a novel concept. Break the law, get indicted, go to trial...
What crime? 91 indictments and nothing. lololol. And after spending over 150 million of American's taxes, still a big fat nothing burger. The commies will do anything to take this country over.
Personal experience.
What law was broken?
Please cite the statute.
What law was broken?
@@NvableDo your own research! It's been spoken about over and over!
There is a list being written as we speak. All the wrong being done, will soon come to light.
It's coming to light currently in the court proceedings. In the coming years Trump will face justice in other courts.....he is learning that crime doesn't pay and karma is real
It is sad to see a man who considers himself a "man of God" sell his soul.
He "says" he's a Christian, his actions say otherwise.
What hogwash
What are you doing for the working class !
Nothing, it's just culture war non stop to dupe everyone
Not one thing. Pissing down our legs telling us it's raining ☔🙄
His constituents are in Louisiana. Find your own Rep.
@bmichael8187 He's not doing anything for the people of Louisiana either.
And they need it: Louisiana is in the 50th spot for the second year in a row in the _Best States Rankings by US News & World Report._
@@_NoHandle_I guess Louisiana’s state and local representatives need to get on the ball.
Yeah Mike… because the court is doing its job. Why aren’t YOU in DC doing YOUR job??!
The court is being illegally corrupt and crooked!!! It's criminal!!! 🤬💩🤬
jew versus jew
Dont wanna do the time .... then don't do the crime You an Atty Mikey? Then you know that
What crime? So far the prosecution has failed to present relevant evidence or testimony of the alleged crimes, much less prove them.
They have a strict policy regarding bootlicking and public groveling…
Biden seems to ignore that.
Imagine what it would be like if they let anyone other than those who are actually involved in the trial speak in the courthouse area.
Lmao exactly. This is more proof that Republican politicians know their supporters aren't very strong critical thinkers.
I wish Trump couldn't do his twice daily speeches in the courthouse either.
Because that would be illegal. They already trampled on the 1st amendment rights. Kinda like when Barry Obummer spied illegally on him.
It's a courthouse. Why would they need to let them hold press conferences in the building? None of his mouthpieces are on trial(yet). It's not like what they say matters in the proceedings. The jury decides. Not a bunch of talking heads spewing rhetoric. They don't seem to understand how the judicial system works.
A jury decides?
Yet we have the court of public opinion, the media, and politicians calling guilt when they are not the court nor a jury.
And here you are judging someone as guilty, and you are not the jury.
Please make the irony make sense.
@@Nvableyeah? Right wings went after Hilary over a cleared inbox
Yet y’all decided she was guilty
Still beat tRump in the popular vote tho, had to be handed his presidency, just like everything else in life
Just take the hint?
@@Nvable Responsible people, including media, don't call guilt or innocence until proven in a court of law. I haven't accused anyone of anything yet. But you have to admit. It doesn't matter from which aisle you're sitting in. The evidence is pretty damning. Do I believe he's guilty? I believe he's guilty as sin. But I will let the jury decide if he is, as it should be. Only then will I let it be known from the rooftops.
@@user-lw1pm8qi1h oh, how naive you are.
There is no evidence.
They tried this already with avenati and failed.
They are using a witness that has lied to a court about 3x.
Must be awesome to live in your world.
What a disgrace he is.
Who? Michael Cohen for being a liar? I know..
@@Ninnjette-he was trumps liar and went to prison for this same crime. Bill Barr protected Fatty from indictment. He’s fair game now.
I thought he was a lawyer maybe he could take a 101 on court laws
Yeah let's take your advice 🤣
Court law. What’s a court law?
What a joke. Lock him up. 😂
We're not talking about biden.
@@Noconstitutionfordemocrats1trumpanzee
@@boredgourd bidumbozo.
Name one GOP who has done anything for Americans and inflation. I'll wait
Crickets under this comment
How many step stools do we think he’s standing on to get his head above the podium?
Well I was starting to give Johnson a chance. He risked his office to pass a good bill. Then he does this. When I was starting to think he was being bipartisan he proves he is a partisan hack. I wish the democrats ousted you.
What a craven, disgusting display.
Troll
Beyond disgusting.
The trial? You are correct.
@@pamschneider8493yes the trial is
That would be Johnson. 🤡
Perhaps you should make bribery, blackmail and prostitution legal then….
I missed the part where Trump was charged with any of those things. Oh wait, he wasn’t.
@@BF-27did you miss his rape conviction or his fraud conviction? His CFO is serving time at Rikers for perjury and several of his “lawyers” 😂 have lost their licenses and plead guilty. He’s a criminal.
Your not above the people. You can't hold a conference inside like you do at Capitol hill. Your in Court House. Have respect for it. Of which you don't have.
Such an embarrassment to Democracy
So true lock him up.
@@jena2664We're not talking about biden.
Mike Johnson, he sure is.
Democracy is Communism
"wE ArE a RePubLic....."
Well no, there is no reason for MAGA Mike to be in NYC, or the court, and certainly no reason for him to speak in court (Or anywhere else) to defame the judge's family members.
They are already defamed! Horrible ppl!
The Judge's Family members are doing a good job of defaming themselves......all that filthy money being fund raised by the Judge's family members.....crime may not pay but Democrat lawfare does.....
jew mike johnson . . ;
The potential for witness intimidation, witness tampering, jury intimidation and jury tampering is too great. I agree with the court's decision. Allowing *any* high profile interview within the courthouse would run the risk of that while the court is in session.
This religious it job needs to be voted out of office along with all MAGA Republicans!
Mike doesn't understand you can't record in a courthouse
You don't understand court houses are PUBLIC facilities. You only can't record in the court room. All other areas are PUBLIC. Which means you CAN record. Why does that left hate freedom and the constitution so much? Who put those poisonous ideas into your head??
Actually a courtroom
It's a public building. You can record in all public areas, not restricted areas. Don't give up your rights so easily.
But you can’t have a press conference in the courthouse without permission
Um.. press briefings are held in courthouses every day across America.
He should be doing his job that he took an oath to do
He is
@@diapricea4888oh really? And in what school book did you learn that the speaker of the house uses their position of power to enter a court house to speak for someone who isn’t even in government? Trumpanzee
@@boredgourdhere comes the paid Marxist Troll's with multiple accounts 🙄
@boredgourd ahhh did it trigger u. Lol
@@boredgourdso are you saying Nancy wouldn’t do something like this? 😭🤣
OMG speaking of a scammer
Because the court house is not a venue for political speeches. Johnson should know this since he's an attorney, but he doesn't want to do better.
Clocks ticking ...prepare your goodbye speeches... we see criminal,seditious traitors.
Talk about politicizing defendant Trump's felony trial. These sycophants should be relegated to the overflow room. Their presence is intentionally disruptive, and they should be kept away from the jury. They don't have a constitutional right to be in the main courtroom.
Why does he think he has a right to speak in the CourtHouse???? Does he let justanyone speak on the House floor???
Johnson is trumps groupie
Another one. He keeps a fresh batch of symps.🥴
Separation of power. This is wrong. Trumps talking points.
Mike Johnson is a phony
I can’t believe anyone is still actually associating themselves with Donald Trump anymore
another day on the job whose work is the Speaker working on...supporting a friend and what about us?
What about you?
Trump could’ve campaigned on his days off from trial.. he at times refused and cancelled his rallies..
Greetings from Germany
Wow Forbes!! Not a single comment going your way!!! We want our DEMOCRACY back!!
Johnson: "They won't let me in the courtroom"
_They will for Nuremberg 2.0 though._
No wonder Congress can't get nothing done
Forbes, ever reaching for lower lows. What a sad disgrace for a formerly great respectable news source!
I totally agree, but based on the comments here, all Forbes did this time is point out how crazy Mike Johnson is for trying shameless stunts for Trump instead of his job in DC.
Why the hell is he there anyway?
Thank you Speaker for putting one more nail in the GOP coffin and highlighting the sad fact that the term “a good Christian” is an oxymoron.
I guess they all deny Jan 6 even happened.
Court won't let you inside to interfere with a trial? What a surprise.
The Speaker of the House has no place speaking out about an ongoing state criminal trial, just like candidate Donald Trump had no presidential duty in determining the winner of the 2020 election.
So the speaker of the house professed good Christian has taken up to be mouth piece for trump. He stands here and judges and promotes hate and more division. I'm not a dem.or rep but did I as a taxes payer pay for this. Want to be speaker think he should be doing that job not out there saying can't speak in the court house. It would Disrupt the court system if it was a stage for people to grand standing and supporting all kinds of veiws.
Go back to bed granny.
😂😂😂😂😂
If we were all equal under the law, Trump would be in jail by now.
In jail for what?
you should be also.
Well maybe the Biden and Clinton crime syndicates anyway.
@@Nvable Conspiracy to overthrow the Government of the United States.
So would you. If as many prosecutors dug through your life as have dug through Trump’s, you best believe they could find something to bring you up on charges.
Are Congressmen supposed to go to the aid of a civilian outside of their own districts?
It’s a court of law the the house of the lawless,go to your house and speak Mr Speaker.
Isn’t Johnson a so called Christian. How can you be friends with someone like Trump? Should not you be at work. He speaks of the injustice of the criminal justice system. Well, African Americans have had to deal with the injustice for decades.
Pathetic use of the speaker's role. No shame with these guys.
You should be supporting Speaker He is fighting for Your Freedoms and Liberties CRITIC
@@dmitryberman7334 I don't support fascists and unless you wake up you will be chanting make America great again except this time it will be about restoring democracy.
No worse that POTUS standing up with a bull horn at a union strike. One where the goal was to make the automakers bleed!
The cost of that blood is baked into every new vehicle. Ford executives said that “the UAW contract would add $850 to $900 per vehicle in additional costs,”
Biden buying votes with our money. Slick
This does not mean I would vote for Trump.
After waiting all these years for justice, it's about time. Glad to see is cult is supporting him no matter how much they love Jesus.
Republican jury & witness intimidation! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
Republican jury? You know it's in Manhattan, right. And so far there is no evidence to a crime. Just dirty laundry.
Someone need to be in D.C. in the HOUSE fixing issues with the country, but He choose being in N.Y.C. defending 45.
You're so right 👍
Don't hate him for telling the truth! 🤬💩🤬
47*
President Donald J. Trump 🥰
Isn't it the job of the president and the VP to fix issues? They are in DC, how they doing on fixing things? 😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
I’m losing faith because of Trump and all of his goons - including you Mike Johnson.
Mike Johnson is an attorney; then he should know better. Who does he and the other Trump allies think they are? Take your sorry, corrupt butts back to Washington and do your job😡😖 People Vote Blue 🗳 Up and Down the Ballot 🗳 🙏
No thanks.....blue is disgusting, perverted and taking this country down the wrong path.
Like his inner self wanted to say, I'm disgusting! We keep going to the same play book. Using the same words trying to trigger a group of people
Why don’t mick Johnson offer to Trump his service. And fight the case Since he is the lawyer.
One of the most disgraceful moments ever by a supposed Speaker of the House.
God bless Mike Johnson, his family and his patriotic efforts. Thank you.
Social contract canceled. All is lost, not losing.
What? Mike Johnson who are you to disrupt a court building As the house you or the speaker of is off limits to citizens not of the committee
Wait... isn't this a work day? Get back to work or let someone who will do the job.
Sue the judge
Oh. M. G.
He can’t speak in the building? Of course, he cannot. He cannot put his two cents worth into that trial. That’s justice.
Giodbless 😊you i pray that GOD bless snd protect you and your FAMILY and loved ones.
He "rips?" Trump? Apparently you can't speak without lying👹🙏🇺🇲
Of course you cant speak inside its a courtroom not a circus tent!!
Lost faith in Congress is especially high...because?
No volume??? 'SPEAKS' VOLUMES!
You might still have your job, but we will all remember that you gave russia a seven month break. trump and all his ilk including you should be resting in GITMO right now.
This is how you people should be treated
somebody told me he was religious? Lying should not happen!
These people think everyone is stupid 😂😅
Thank you for the support for Trump.
Your support will never be forgotten. You are a true Christian may God bless you richly.
These people have no respect for the court system. 😢😢 I cannot wait til i see Trump in a Jumpsuit.
Well, whole your breath 😂
And by declaring you can’t wait for Trump to be imprisoned before he has even been proven guilty of anything shows that you have no respect for the court system, either.
Next time the Democrats will not save your butt Mr. Speaker.
If you were Pelosi this would of ended before it even got started. Stop talking and do something about it.
This "fake news Christian" spells "hypocrisy" with every breath he takes.
soveit-era political persecution
We were developing a bit of respect for Johnson for finally passing the Ukraine/Taiwan/Israel package and I saw the wonderful speech at the Holocaust museum. Then he had to go to suck up to the creature. It’s a travesty of a mockery of a sham….
Yeah, because all you’re doing is making a circus show in an actual court proceeding.
0:45 *And we're losing faith that Republicans are going to do the right thing, WHY did you agree to send another $62 billion to Zelensky Speaker Johnson?*
Maybe he should be at work helping governing the county instead of being in the streets acting like he is in a Cult !!!
Maybe people are losing faith in this country because people like him are in positions of power.
Tuberville and Vance are no surprise. But Mike Johnson... really!? Just when I was beginning to think that maybe he isn't so bad and that maybe Id misjudged him. Now he shows his true colors by taking part in this. Im trly sorry to see this.
@larkrowe41: Mike Johnson was instrumental in Trump's attempted COUP January 6.
Mikey is so far up Donny's a--,
he needs that COVID light Donny was talkin' about.
Trump is using them to speak B.S., hoping to taint juror opinion.
The judge's daughter has nothing to do with Trump's trial.
Republicans are actively DISMANTLING our Democracy.
Don't break the law, and you won't find yourself in court, especially when there's audio evidence of the crime.
What crime ?
What crime ?
What crime ?
Did you miss the other cases where the law was not broken and he was in court. Innocent people have been convicted in court for ages.
We are losing faith in you too Mr Johnson, you became one of the Washington swamp.
Of course your not allowed to speak in a courthouse. As a former litigator Mike Johnson should this. Noise in a court disrupts the court. Distracts the Jury. A courthouse is like a library, your supposed to be quiet as possible.
Once again, a MAGA Republican that believes the Rules/Laws should not apply to them.
