'An extraordinary collapse': What Andrea Mitchell saw inside the courtroom at Trump's trial

Andrea Mitchell seems to be having a hard time getting the words out, to the point where it's hard to understand what she's trying to say

[kgraham]

No soap opera in the world, now or ever, comes close to this. Hollywood couldn’t even make this crap up with all their imaginations! 😳

[Donovan-vj]

Wow so extraordinary I can't believe the blatant truth is coming to light

[catznjam]

Wow, and Costello was a defense witness?? That was stupid, didn't they know the prosecution had those emails??

[dpscarlett]

What is up with Andrea Mitchell? She seems really off and unable to speak clearly and in a normal cadence.

[ishbhad]

“ you have friends in high places” . How corrupt are these guys .

[carlturner]

How does one trial take 4 years, for nothing to go to the supreme court, that he appointed!

[wmduke]

😮 all I can say is ouch. And Trump forced his lawyers to put this nut job on the stand.
There's a point in the game where every lawyer should simply tell the client who's in charge here .

[MKZ-lwns]

The problem for Trump's lawyer's: It's very difficult to defend the indefensible.

[stephensmith]

This is the most incoherent description of the court I've seen in years. This case is disintegrating in front of everyone, and Andrea is so shaken she can't even describe it.

[karoltowns]

As usual, people’s stupid comments reflect that they are missing the whole point of the story. Why?

[sharondunn]

What Andrea is saying is really hard to follow. She's not really "reporting" what happened. She editorializes a lot and doesn't really give any solid information.

[topcattruffles]

A sincere pat on the back of the Orange Turds defense team for letting Mr Costello do such an exquisite job of sticking the knife in the back of their client. You just can’t make this stuff up….. 👍🏻💙🍺😂

[JohnDoe-fuqd]

I think this reporter has a speech problem, she seemed really nervous, at a loss for words, and tongue tied. She did give accurate information though and portrayed a good picture of what happened in the courtroom today.

[Eddie-tnom]

This is a terrible report wasn’t she ready for the crossing?😔

[EdwardBartel]

Is anyone in @nbcnews watching Andrea Mitchell's on camera performance over the past several months. She is constantly struggling to get the words out. She has had a distinguished career, but it is now time to recognize that it is time to step aside.

[brian]

Andrea Mitchell, while I do have respect for her long career, is no longer cut out for this. It was hard for her to even convey a simple message.

[msaar]

it's always refreshing when a privileged old man stumbles over his own self-righteousness.

[TexasCat]

And just think, this is the least criminal trial of trump. The other two are far more important due to major crimes against the country.

[pamelawing]

I pray for an orange jump suit BUT, do NOT try to second guess a jury. I WILL say, after being on five juries, that, at least my experience, was that everyone in that room too the case totally seriously, we went over the evidence, discussed parts of it when necessary and came up with a verdict. What seem obvious to us may NOT be so obvious to every juror there. THEY have no heard any analysis we have, and people are people and we DO all have biases. There ARE, supposedly, a couple of attorneys on the jury and I can't say if that's a good or bad thing.
