Rachel Maddow: Trump can't hide from the truth in a court of law

Rachel Maddow breaks down the justice system former President Donald Trump faces in his criminal trial. "It's an adversarial, fair process, and when you lie, your lie is exposed," she tells Chris Hayes, "pouting doesn't count, and yelling doesn't count, and threats are illegal. And it's compulsory and the truth gets proven."

That's how it's SUPPOSED to work

[leemzgoogle]

He has made numerous threats. Why are there ZERO repercussions? I've heard NOTHING regarding him facing ANY punishment for his threats.

If they keep giving Donnie all these breaks, Americans will lose faith in the justice system completely.

"...with real lawyers if you can afford them". And therein lies the greatest problem with the US justice system.

All the money in the world will only get you a great lawyer if they’re willing to represent you.

[busabrye]

None of his followers will believe the truth, they don’t have the capacity for critical thought,

[elizabethchase]

You are one of the people that brings truth to the front line. I continually get bashed because I wanna hear truth, the facts coming from you. You make it understandable. One good things I have is my freewill, they can't sway me Trumps way. You are not straddle the fence, THAT I LOVE. I SUM it up as being something they are allergic to..truth!!!

[carolkirk]

I cant wait for Ms. Maddow to be a professor for Columbia law!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ top notch!!!

[kdallas]

If Donnie was a poor black man he'd be in rikers for a backpack. This justice for all is BS. Bannon and stone should be in gizmo

[DeltaElites]

He can't rant and rave his daily lies in a court and his followers hate it, as is already evidenced in the MAGA responses.

[MtBakerlife]

Perfect thank you !! Vote blue for democracy 💙💙💙

[michaelengland]

If threats are illegal, why has he not been put in jail. Bail revoked!

The Judicial System needs to step up and show the power of American law and take the gloves off for Trump.
