When Clay beat his case, Rhonda told Bond, "Whatever it is, they don't teach it in law school" shows how Stringer was way over his head thinking he was ready for the business world because he took a business class in community college . Clay had more street smarts than Stringer and he never ran a drug empire. The Wire had master class writing💯
I can tell you first hand that they barely teach anything useful in law school. It was an expensive three years that could easily have been achieved in one year.
I never noticed this, but District Attorney Bond failing to call the Baltimore Sun for the perp walk was the first sign that he was really out of touch with the community and failed to understand that the jury pool would be influenced by the local media.
I always thought that the reporter who confronts Pearlman was pretty pretentious. The reporter acts like the Sun is owed the call and that the states attorney is supposed to know that the person who covered the state court no longer works for his paper.
@@TheRealMjb2k the reporters are very cringey… you can bet when I make a Wire Cringe compilation that the scene of Gus and Twigg talking about their inspirations to become “newsmen” will be competing for top 3 if not number 1. Gus with his trauma about his father ignoring him in favor of reading the paper “I want to be part of THAT” YUCK and Twigg saying something along the lines of I want to be like the guy on the bus who neurotically folds his paper… oof!
@@TheRealMjb2k The reporter was correct. The reason is the states attorney when they need to drive a narrative, will rely on the newspaper to help them by dedicating newsprint for information that they want to get out. It has to be a symbiotic relationship.
Daniels was such a fantastic character. Continually shocked with how absurd the realities of his job was the further he went up the chain. Dude got made top cop of Baltimore by the end of his career and said absolutely not. He’s one of the best characters in the series
That's awesome, I was about to Google what actor played that character, little did I know.... Something about him struck me, and I'd never heard of/seen him before, turns out the dude is legit. Cool detail. It's like the lawyer from the movie 'Casino' was played by the real guy who defended the real mobsters in Las Vegas that the movie was based on. Oscar Goodman iirc.
The cop with the mustache who was in many scenes with Bunny (I forgot his name), was I believe a real cop who another character was based on in The Wire. Correct me if I'm wrong
Clay Davis. What a man! Along with the Greeks he was probably low key one of the most powerful entities in the Game. Basically immune to harm (Avon stopped Stringer offing him). He rips off the biggest and richest players with impunity and has the legal and state establishment doing his bidding. Like a political Omar although nowhere near as moral lol.
@@michaelmcfadden396 and a country club prison at that. Political scum rarely do any real time in a real prison like the rest of us. And they come out with most of the money and assets they went in with. They protect their own.
@@Carolina_FreshThe brisket supercut lol. Levy was the man. Originally you kinda take him for all bad. But then he lets his clients use phones (despite knowing it makes them VERY vulnerable). Lets slip to ex-police, Herc, about wiretap phone numbers. Neither of them accidents. He is self interested but not ALL bad imo.
God I loved Clay Davis. The scene where he spots the media crowd and takes every fibre of his being to force a smile is one of my favourite scenes in anything I have ever seen. Never in my life have I laughed so hard at a TV show.
That s sum subtle stuff, alla, Australian or one off those A countries, testimony from Omar, read by that smoke show lawyer, Ilene Nathan. Gawd dayum! What a broad! Got carried away, indeed.
Lester embodies the perfect detective. Smart, but not arrogant. Resourceful, but not a loose cannon. Patient, but not complacent. Street rips to pad your quota might make you look good to your superiors, but he’s smart enough to know that all the street rips in the world cannot compare to the systemic change that can be done by removing a corrupt politician from power. If we had more cops like him we would be so much better off.
I found it especially interesting how Daniels was fighting major crime throughout the show, but the biggest crooks in his life were his superiors and his wife at home
23:25. My favorite dialogue, even politicians don’t respect snitching😂 Royce did not like the fact clay Davis was even thinking about not standing tall
It definitely shows how the “snitching rules” apply almost everywhere and not just the streets. In politics you will probably live but your name is tarnished and you will never be able to squeeze another greenback out of the city.
I’m just noticing at 28:06 Billy Murphy declined to cross examine Freamon who was lead investigator in the case which threw everyone off even Freamon looked puzzled, that told me the lawyer was bout to finesse tf outta they ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can't fault Clay's lawyer, Billy Martin (I think that's the character's name) for coming up with that defense. It's a brilliant strategy to use all the evidence that Bond has against him and then to say "so what? it all went back to the people in my district." He uses absence of proof to explain away the paper trail they built against him, and I don't know how they could ever get him on any of this. Shows how unprepared Bond was. And the thing is, even though we know Clay's a snake, we also know Bond is only doing this to raise his own rep in the city so he can become the next mayor after Carcetti. Rhonda did most of the actual legal prep work, and then Bond swoops in at the end and says he'll lead the prosecution.
Bond's ego led to the case's failure, Clay was able to sweet-talk the jury because they were from Baltimore. But he wouldn't have been to pull the "We have it hard out here" shtick if he was in front of a federal jury.
@@t8858x Rhonda would have been smart enough to send the case to the US Attorney General (the Republican guy working with the FBI), so Clay would have been dead to rights.
The lawyer had already decided to take the case before Clay walked into the room. He just wanted to hear his patter. Clay succeeded because he understood, better than anyone, the maxim, "They'll never remember anything you say but they'll never forget how you made them feel".
Shows how banal self-interest drives much of everyday corruption. Even the US Attorney was after Davis for purely self-serving political reasons. He didn't care about the rowhouse murders or Clay's crimes in and of themselves.
So, the Clay Davis jury engaged in jury nullification right? "We don't dispute that the Senator engaged in fraud, we just morally admire how he went about it."
@@ExTAzY101 Technically, yes. Although I read that if a defense attorney attempts to instruct a jury about it, it's like instant grounds for a mistrial. I don't know how it is in other countries though.
The fact that Clay felt he could threaten such tells you in the grand scheme of things, Clay Davis doesn't even rank in the top 100. Because the people on that list know they're dead before they reach the second syllable.
That first scene is hilarious, 'hell no I won't let you make a mockery out of our political party despite this guy being a tremendously corrupt politician!'
The entire show is a masterpiece, but my very favorite parts are the detective scenes as well as the police work and political aspects of the production.
Of all the characters of The Wire, none are more despicable as Clay Davis, a magnificent portrayal by Isaiah Whitlock Jr. Valcheck, Marlo, perhaps even Rawls and The Greek are awful people but the way Davis is so corrupt and basically skates is just so disgusting but realistic. And the way Davis olayed the DA is just brilliant and hilarious but horrible. Also, Lester Freeman is NOT a hump.
@frankienorthtroptriton4771 Levy. But he's a lawyer, he's doin what he's paid to do (bein a piece of crap defending criminals), that's why I negated him
Preserving the Wire in our collective memories helps us to use it as a primer to look past the pony and see the shit. There is plenty of that in our institutions-corruption, fraud, insider trading, pay to play etc. Great channel.
The DA did the same thing as Clay did, only he simply operated within the rules of the system. His position should have welcomed federal indictment in an effort to assure clays conviction,instead of worrying about his career. Clay took cash, Bond used his position for his personal political aspirations. Same shiiieeeeeeeet tho.
The fact that there was "sheeeeiiiittt" goes to show how masterful this edit is to emphasize that although there is humer to the man's character he is as dead serious of a politician as it gets.
I'm 47 and heard a lot of good, great fantastic lines from an actor and I have to say CLAYS?SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT, is up there 4 me if I get to be old ? Il remember this line and il laugh like I laughed 20 yrs ago give or take a few? Great line Great character 👏
Cult of personality. Not gonna say who else is a leader who robs his own cult while they clap and cheer cuz these comment sections are full of weirdos. All I’m saying is he sells hats.
I’ve watched The Wire at least 5x, and I still marvel at how great the character names are: Avon Barksdale, Stringer Bell, Proposition Joe, the list goes on. Just one of many reasons that this show is absolutely brilliant.
Love 9:32 and the way his bag man speaks to him. You can tell they got up to a lot of mischief over the years if he can speak to his supposed "boss" like that.
The Clay Davises of the world are a lot more common than people think, ESPECIALLY in places like Baltimore. Marilyn Mosby is a perfect example. We need one of these remixes on the rise of Slim Charles. He's the most underrated character of the whole series in my opinion, outlasted ALL the kingpins to become one himself.
I've been binge watching your content for the last several hours. Great choice of storylines/arcs. One I've always thought would be good is the decline of the newspaper. Season 5's stuff. That was a great insider look at the decline of traditional news media.

The way he holds the bank statement like it’s making him physically sick always cracks me up. Lmao
“On advice of my attorney, I ain’t gon answer that”😂😂
The fact that there was "sheeeeiiiittt" goes to show how masterful this edit is to emphasize that although there is humer to the man's character he is as dead serious of a politician as it gets.
this edit shows just how good the show is
That’s one of my goals! Thanks
Bruuuuuh, Clay said hes out there ''Doin the lawds work''. That shit is hilarious
THE clay Davis movie ! s/o to you for spending time on this
this actor ate this role and left no crumbs
the scene with the big money lawyer was gold
I’m glad you liked it
I'm 47 and heard a lot of good, great fantastic lines from an actor and I have to say CLAYS?SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT, is up there 4 me if I get to be old ? Il remember this line and il laugh like I laughed 20 yrs ago give or take a few? Great line Great character 👏
I'm the vice president of a m..
Who tf isn't 😂
Little did we know he’s a rat 🐀
33:23 breaks out the MLK voice, my man clay was feeling himself
WE SHALL NOT BE, WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
Such a brilliant acting job he did playing that maniacal gaslighter…what a sh*t talker!
Clay Davis was the G.O.A.T. He was the melinated better version of Little Finger he just could slide through it.
He schooled the real littlefinger on how a master plays the game
15:16 look how he just turns that shit on like a light switch
Whatever it was they don't teach it in Law School... what a line
Really appreciate these long cuts! I am loving revisiting these major character arcs in this way, years later!
@@Kinase666 you are welcome
I hit the corner of mosher and Pennsylvania best to believe my pockets bulging by the time i get to Robert's street 🤲
Whenever im feeling down, i put this video on and it never fails to cheer me up. WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
He studied the ancient art of slim shady.
“That’s BS”…”whoa, remember this is on radio.”😂
This guy is more creative than Spielberg the way he put these Wire videos together
Thank you Ghost 🙏
9:57 focus mother fucka focus😂😂 such a Donell Rawlings line
I wonder if they let him improvise, like the “my b judge”.
The fact that he can say that to his "boss" makes me think they have been up to LOTS of criminal shenanigans.
@@michaelmcfadden396 he definitely knows where the bodies are no pun intended
Ashy Larry 😂😂😂
Cult of personality. Not gonna say who else is a leader who robs his own cult while they clap and cheer cuz these comment sections are full of weirdos. All I’m saying is he sells hats.
I’ve watched The Wire at least 5x, and I still marvel at how great the character names are: Avon Barksdale, Stringer Bell, Proposition Joe, the list goes on. Just one of many reasons that this show is absolutely brilliant.
Started off with Rawls now im watching em all good damn work! 👍
Love 9:32 and the way his bag man speaks to him. You can tell they got up to a lot of mischief over the years if he can speak to his supposed "boss" like that.
The Clay Davises of the world are a lot more common than people think, ESPECIALLY in places like Baltimore. Marilyn Mosby is a perfect example.
We need one of these remixes on the rise of Slim Charles. He's the most underrated character of the whole series in my opinion, outlasted ALL the kingpins to become one himself.
24:51 didnt pay much attention to this scene before.. but it really helps explain how Clay managed the win
35 minutes of Clayton Davis?!?!? SHEEEIIIIT!!!
lol. 😆🤣😂
19 minutes before the first "sheeeeeeeit."
Clay Davis underrated character
He's the sacred and the propane
He was like a 40 degree day
I've been binge watching your content for the last several hours. Great choice of storylines/arcs.
One I've always thought would be good is the decline of the newspaper. Season 5's stuff. That was a great insider look at the decline of traditional news media.
Opps: this edit wasn’t that fire 😐
Me: Shiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeettttttttt 🔥🔥
I see two twin opps, leave 'em on a banner
Wow, that was the first time that I really watched the Wire. That was fantastic...
if you're speaking of my scene remix thank you so much
@@imravegod Yes, the remix was excellent.
