[@megwysatta7393]

Two clown lawyers. Worst guests ever.

[@libbyworkman3459]

I never once thought he would testify

[@Aminasacto]

Me either

[@TyroneNorwood]

@libbyworkman3459 No one did

[@simonfisher2239]

Falsely claiming that he will testify when everybody who understands the case knows he won't, is a consistent Trump behavior. I guess he knows many of his supporters will get the impression he is open & can defend himself, and miss the fact he pulls out at the last minute. And that everyone else knew he would, and why.

[@jakebarnes28]

​@@simonfisher2239it's a fascinating insight into the "how?" question regarding the NSDAP takeover of German society. It's happening here now. Trump merely exposes what's possible. Our morals have corroded on all fronts left & right. It'll be for the first time in a long time a question as to whether or not we can weather the storm.

[@WhoKnows892]

Dude is a total con-job. Not sure why people want the most untrustworthy person in the world in office. Me thinks people that support Trump are nuttier than Trump himself.

[@DanBuell]

First field reporter: that’s exactly right, exactly right. The jury instructions will be the instructions that the judge gives the jury before deliberations so it’s critical because the judge is going to be giving the jury instructions. Thank you, Ms. obvious!

These two clowns again? Especially Brennan... wow!

Well if they haven’t figured out yet that they aren’t going to get paid, then clowns is right…🤭🤭

Nobody gaf that a criminal is a former president. That is irrelevant! If he's guilty, convict him, period!

[@christinathorne4956]

Guilty of what ? Explain

[@Notyamomma1313]

What crime? Even his lawyers do not know the crime he supposedly committed. Cohen admitted Trump didn't know about the payment or where he got it.

[@ofrhythm]

​@@christinathorne4956 read one of the dozens of indictments. Read the charges in the ongoing case. It's not difficult

​@@christinathorne4956guilty of a crime of course. In other words, a criminal is a criminal and no one is above the law. Former president or not. Not just this case, but any crime.

[@KtotheC6342]

Hallie Jackson talks about how this weekend could have jurors looking up Trump and then proceeded to have a newscast that gave sway to the possibility of if this happening even if it was a crime to do so😳 Then has Trump lawyers on to give more questions as to what crime did he break? Gives them 5-10mins and then gives counter lawyers 1 minute to sum up their opinion 🤔 Tell me, Hallie, who do you work for, and how much were you paid to soften up Trump's possible convictions? To be a good journalist, it would've been good to mention that there are 34 Felonies he is facing in this trial. To not rebuttal, that was a mistake giving Trump a soft landing in the eye of public opinion. You can't use campaign finances to pay off people, then lie about it!! Period!! I am growing concerned that NBC is now a pulpit for Republicans and Trump. I am pretty disappointed with NBC right now🤬

If there's no famine in Gaza, Mr. Netanyahu, please explain where's the food and water coming from? Gaza is just rubble with no power or running water. IDF killing aid workers and attacking aid efforts. Please explain, Mr. Netanyahu.

[@Aminasacto]

I don't have a stake on either side. But obviously, you're 100% right.

[@jakebarnes28]

The US Navy among others has been airdropping supplies. I think others have. A two state solution seems to be the answer. There may not be a answer though.

[@themikesdeadshow]

@@jakebarnes28@jakebarnes28 The two-state solution has been there since 1937. Only one state doesn't want it, and that is why they murdered the leader of the Boy Scouts when he was delivering it in 48, and have starved and murdered civilians now. Don't fool yourselves Americans would fight the tyranny of Israel with everything they had if someone treated them the same. Think no taxation without representation. Think of the UN approving a border and one country not accepting it and building a concrete wall around you.

[@deegee2570]

@@jakebarnes28those air drops are a small percentage of the total food needed. Neither side wants a two state solution.

[@kitwren1797]

He didn't testify because he would have gotten eaten alive and is also chicken.

[@josefeibl8230]

There was absolutely no reason to testify. Trump doesn't need to prove his innocence, the prosecution has to prove guilt of the violated statue beyond a reasonable doubt. That did not happen.

We can just hold our breath because we are going to see wealthy celebrities running for office as they face criminal charges or have been convicted. What Americans will understand is the presidency is a get out of jail if Trump is convicted and he isn't incarcerated. The donor gets prosecuted making an unlawful campaign contribution to a candidate that conspires to benefit from any illegal donations should seek to hold the candidate or campaign accountable together

Are these lying lawyer on retainer for the lying lawyer's lawyer? Reasonable doubt 🤔, what are the charges? The chargers are clearly pointed out in the indictment.
