only 1 outcome is possible if the Jury listens to the evidence: *GUILTY*

If/when convicted, sentencing "45" to three years and require a minimum served of at least 3 1/2 years -- what Michael Cohen served -- before he could be eligible for parole would be the least he should get.

On November 5 the American people will speak.

Thoughts and prayers for all the big strong men with tears in their eyes out there 🙏

😡— Everybody is a liar but me. (Practicing my new sarcasm skills. Heh.)

[JamesBondE]

Thank God this drama will end in the coming week so that people can go back to their normal lives

I love Glenn! He is awesome and I love his and Brian Tyler Cohen's Youtube channels

[Da-vs]

We believe on Jury. We have faith on Jury. No one is above the law. We aren’t kingdoms.

Happy Memorial Day!!!

Blacks, Latinos and all other POC who are for Trump please kmow that the sentiment and comment he made about Judge Merchaun, of Columbian descent, is exactly what he thinks about you and your descendants.

[sakinamengle]

I wish Trump would bring in his witness, attorney Robert Costello back into the courtroom and have him do the closing arguments!!!!

Prosecution lawyers preparing for closing arguments: the dots..."
Defense lawyers preparing for closing arguments: "Which juror can we threaten or buy? We only need one."

Alicia was right the first time. For me, the week runs Mon-Sun, so as far as I'm concerned, we're still waiting for "next week" to begin - tomorrow.

[MojoMan]

Though not easily achieved, Glenn outdressed Michael today! He's looking great because...
Justice Matters!!!

"Tough men. Strong men, came up to me with tears in their eyes saying, Sir, you smell like crap."

[mikekelley]

The inevitable guilty verdict will be the best gift America has ever received from it's rule of law.

The next trump grift. A useless credit card sized Black METAL Card that costs $100, that does NOTHING! Not even a visa or a master card. For a limited time only while suckers last.

[SleazyDonny]

Two very different arguments indeed. The prosecution’s based on facts and evidence, the defense’s not.

[Jose-gjhv]

Trump's lawyers at closing - " We have nothing to add, your honor. trump chickened out from testifying., , , , Bailiff, you can take over now."

[michellekennedy]

Glen is right. The law must be applied equally. If convicted, Trump must do some prison time.
