Thank you, Neill, for recognizing that, as a criminal defendant, I was never given ten chances when out on release.

If you think Cohen deserved prison time, but that his boss chump does NOT deserve prison time, it's time to start questioning your ability to be rational.

[@grassfireu]

Biden is above the law -- excuse me, too old and incompetent to face prosecution -- regarding classified documents he never even had the right to as a senator and then as a veep. Biden is above the law. The rest of DC is above the law. They come in poor and get rich off of meager salaries. There are a lot of people above the law. Many, many, many 2020 BLM rioters were let off the hook. They're above the law. Crooks and violent criminals in NYC and other urban areas are above the law. There are hundreds if not thousands of REPEAT VIOLENT offenders walking the streets due to leftist policies that refuse to lock them up. Those guys -- both the criminals AND the district/state's attorneys are above the law. Lots of people are above the law. Remember Bush and Cheney and their war crimes? They're above the law. Now the left's worldview aligns with both Bush and Cheney. Sigh.

[@Samantha-lg1bw]

While in office, isn't the president supposed to separate himself from his private businesses? Why is he signing checks in the Oval Office?

[@lkfs55]

They should not allow him to go out and talk to the press and take away his ability to post his malicious posts and misinformation.

[@bradcook1537]

I believe he'll be held accountable when he actually is.

[@manfromthesky91]

It's not just about holding Trump accountable. Every time he opens his mouth he puts innocent people in danger, and that should be the judge's primary concern, not the logistics or optics of jailing a former president. So far it seems like our courts are filled with cowards. I hope real action is taken if Trump continues to endanger the people participating in this trial, but I'm not feeling much faith in our justice system these days.

[@johnpowers6224]

He gets away with not going to jail! No one else would get that treatment.... Instant jail for us. Oh yeah that's right ? Fair? Okay thanks that's BS

[@marcrettew8284]

one thing for sure, Trump would be the orangest person jailed. ever.

Perhaps the orange will fade once the layers of old makeup come off of his face.

[@margaretsomerville2510]

a naive question: have the media sources attempting to bait breach of gag-order be held in contempt or harassment? Which venues are these sources? And why are the media allowed so close to the court room?

[@joep5815]

This whole country needs to be held accountable for allowing trump to remain free, including the media for playing both sides of the fence and the people for siding with a criminal. You can never comeback to prominence after the trump era. America is forever ruined.

Ever so slightly an expression of contemptuous intent. It appears you might want to freshen up the banner page of this broadcast. Perhaps! Mad respect for all your efforts and skill.

One night in jail just gives him kudos with his supporters. Jail him for at least a week and replace his SS detail in case they are compromised.

Forget the Keystone Cops, the Keystone Conspirators are so much dumber! They not only commit crimes, they leave a trail of paper breadcrumbs that leads every investigator straight to them.

[@jeanponton5669]

Judge's warning is confusing. He's saying Trump is getting special treatment by court. That said the court needs to start planning for jail when and if he's convicted. It's almost certain he will be convicted of some if not all of the 88 charges. Need to start figuring it out now

[@PKing-px5dg]

Who's to say when Donald Trump disputes the 2024 Election, the Supreme Court won't just hand Trump a win? Just asking if that's a possible outcome.

[@michaelbray109]

Not exactly, but Donnie admitted on tape that he didn’t declassify the documents he stole and attempted to retain. Furthermore, he conspired to hide them from the authorities. So funday fact: Donnie is a crook who wanted to keep the letters from Kim as proof that someone loves him. Sad… And illegal!
