When can we expect Bill Clintons Hush Money to Paula Jones Trial?

[kennethtaylor]

Definitely trying to keep Trump from campaigning! I can’t believe what our country has come to!

[samityamity]

I wish these people would put this much effort into helping our country in any way. We’d be fine. But “orange man bad”, TDS is ridiculous. Trump doesn’t rent space in their heads, he bought the real estate.

[CamachoNacho]

Imagine a country prosecuting a man for hush money while they put gag orders on him

[jlshine]

This is a stupid and ridiculous so called trial..

[juliegouker]

Are NDA's illegal in NY? Plus what about the slush fund in Congress to pay off interns that claim they were harassed. So then surpressing of hunters laptop is/was the same thing.

[traceyandgbabiessigning]

Remember injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We have to support president Trump and fight against this crooked corrupt misuse of our justice system. fair fight dems fair fight

[allonelife]

This guy is pretty good. Very clear and no bias either way. Very refreshing

[ralphnaber]

Haven’t famous people been hush moneying for years? It’s cheaper than a trial. And they are targeted. Weird world.

[Rabbitburnx]

It's not hush money, it was a non-disclosure agreement. Calling it Hush money makes it sound illicit, or dirty. Terrible journalism 😑

[miketee]

Cohens own past pokes holes in his future.

[capoman]

The media has been reduced to covering endless pathetic trials.

[RaymonKravagna]

I'm amazed at how many people are very comfortable with the Democrats behaving like the Nazis and the Communists and trying to put their political opponents in jail

[brianhendricks]

There is no crime and this is ridiculous

[dominickmasonry]

I honestly can’t believe I’ve actually seen an objective view on this topic. Thanks

[milspec]

Anyone else have a major problem with censoreship when it comes to pointing out D crimes?

[triatheilean]

You can't poke holes in a case when there are VIDEO & AUDIO to blatantly show the crime being planned and then COMMITTED! 🤣🤣

[TheProject-fwqc]

Once again taking out of context, and not all the information. Could this system of government be absolutely any more corrupt than it is now

[redman]

Trump shouldn’t worry about Cohen’s testimony.He should be concerned about documents, text messages, emails, and checks that he signed.That evidence will speak louder than any words he offers to the jury.34 charges are a lot to try to go up against.

[sundager]

I cannot believe, taxpayer money is being wasted for this
