Lawrence: Trump lawyers put an uncouth buffoon on the stand to defend an uncouth buffoon

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell describes the final day of witness testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money trial where his defense team presented no evidence in his defense and the one evidentiary witness called by the defense “left the witness stand in disgrace.”

Why is anyone so deluded by him? Its insane.

[mackthenight]

Trump and company have NEVER argued that he is innocent, ONLY that he should be allowed to get away with it.

Lawrence O’Donnel is my favorite. He calls it what it is.

Disrespect for the judge in court is disrespect for the law and for history.

Lawrence is a priceless jewel in protecting our democracy

Thank you once again, Lawrence, for showing the world what went down in NYC today. This is history happening before our eyes and through your words we all get to see it unfold. Bravo 👏 👏👏👏

Costello desperately wanted to destroy Cohen but ended up destroying Trump and strengthening the government's case!

“ Uncouth bafoon” we love you Lawrence

[michelinecyr.rainville]

Mr. Lawrence, it is always an immense pleasure to listen to your thorough explanation of this trial. THANK YOU!

In the UK watching Lawrence's magnificent summaries 🇬🇧

He also lied when he said he wouldn't take a salary

[moretoknowshow]

This is a judge who does not suffer fools gladly. Glad to see him put the defense on their heels.

[jaysasso]

Trump also said He wouldnt take a salary, so many lies....

[Bartetmedia]

We need to keep Trump away from those buildings behind Lawrence.
Get out and vote even if you don't feel well.

I love all your words, Lawrence, especially 'uncouth buffoon'.
You are a wordsmith extraordinaire. Thank you for your intelligence. I am grateful for your experience and understanding that you so graciously share with us. You are irreplaceable.

Costello's testimony= "equivalent of drunk driving." Perfect analogy: not only driving while intoxicated, recklessly weaving all over the road, but also being belligerent and hostile when police officers stop you, threatening them and refusing a sobriety test.

I love it! Uncouth Buffoon is absolutely RIGHT!!

[susansacco]

No defense at all. I love that judge. Thanks so much Lawrence. Sleep well 💕
