So appreciate Andrew Weissmann's succinct explanations.

[TheGrrson]

I see Andrew Weissmann's name, and I click on the video. His legal analysis based on decades of government experience is spot on.

[bluedun]

"This was one by the military and given to me." As if it were a gift.

[chrissett]

Seriously, he sounds like a child. No one's above the law. Lock him up.

[madboyreadynow]

Charges is not Big News. Let us know when this Monster has been found guilty and will spend his life in prison. That’s big news

[mvvpro]

Calling him "the former president" at this point is just rubbing it in. America, how could you?

[jamesoverholt]

Trump probably, "how can they use this against me? I clearly said it was off the record. "

[alecynot.]

Why after all this time and evidance, is Trump NOT in Jail? What will it take?

[gregolonious]

As a professional professional, i can't help but think that audio is beyond refuting, but I will laugh seeing the defense try.

[nigeltufnel]

I'm more curious about what kind of person would go to work for trump, knowing they're going to eventually be destroyed.

[adam]

I’m addicted to Andrew Weissman’s analysis lately

[Lisared]

Did you see the filing from Smith calling out Trump for objecting to have to go over the NDI in a SCIF, and, Nauta's for giving him access, also, to the NDI? SMH

🎵🎵Come on Aileen! Do the right thing🎵🎵

[wjniemi]

This should be referred to as the "trump espionage case".

[ellenfaulkner]

Canon is going to destroy herself protecting trump. I hope she gets disbarred

[dfcannone]

They really need to stop referring to the dump as "the former president" just call him by his name Donald J Trump....defendant.

[claudelebel]

A crook is a crook is a crook.
We all knew it although many refuse to admit it.

[airmix]

Voting for trump was like the equivalent of giving a toddler a loaded gun in the their crib smh My God America, please dont make the same mistake twice because next time.around it can be fatal

[chrisoneill]

So we now have overwhelming evidence that as long as TFG walks free, he will continue to commit crimes. So why is TFG still walking free?

[eyesurvivedmyself]

The way Trump just lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies! I've never seen this in anyone so far in my own life!

[mr.winkie]

Trump: dragging others down with him. Lunatic always points the finger to others instead of taking responsibility.
