I heard opening comments from the physician as nothing more than "respectfully TONED" accusatory comments. They were not the idiotic variety of B6 but the undercurrent was accusatory. Continued CLOWN hearings R simply a waste of time & tax payer funds. Repubs have proven over & over that they R exceedingly SLOW on the uptake. they seem 2 believe they will FINALLY get what they WANT if they have18 hearings on the same subject w/o any results!! PATHETIC!!
Thank you, Lawrence. I was puzzled by several things about Trump's payment and repayment scheme. If Cohen and Weisselberg came up with the plan, why did he retaliate by prosecuting Cohen? Is this what led to the search of Cohen's office? How did the press find out about Stormy Daniels? Adam Weissman's explanation regarding the $130,000 line item explains a lot! But for his offices scrupulous examination of those books it might have remained hidden.
SCOTUS appears to favor Trump. Recent behaviors seem to intend to support his ability to be elected President. What does the deciding majority of SCOTUS have to gain during a Trump/Putin administration? What would be the role of a court in a dictatorship? Trump has forced us to create laws related to a President's behavior where general decency has previously made them unnecessay.
I love Lawrence presentations. He has command of English language and he is just the only one who dares to call Trump and co what they really are. As for me, Trump is a BINO( Billionaire In Name Only)
When SCUTUS considers these questions, simply change Trump's name for Biden and see how they will look at it.
Wishful thinking.
For me, this totally ties it together with the Zeitgeist of it all. It's Keith O's pro-democracy righteous rage rant on YouTube. He's plainly aware-and as usual, weaves his unique position in the media landscape with his equally unique, caring, snarky, curmudgeonly wordsmith eloquence on the current state of affairs. His rant, specifically went where most fear to tread, and IMHO, it's *always* in his attempts to defibrillate goodness and all that radiates from it. http://tinyurl.com/4tz5ee6b

Amazing Podcast! Thank you for sharing..!!! https://www.chemicalbull.com/products/triethyl-orthoformate
Majorkas totally made Hawley look like the douchecanoe he is.
This interview with this extraordinary woman is one of those that will live on forever. Your carefulness and appreciation of her situation was so respectful. You have such a beautiful gift Lawrence.
Trump demonstrates how the law was never intended for rich and powerful people.
Is she trying to become dislodged from this case? 😉
If Trump gets re-elected America can expect to see purges and Stalinist showtrials
From Australia here. This manipulative public menace should be shut down immediately. He is where he is by his own mouth. If someone one relied on a gun to get their way and hold their force, what would the court say? Guns gone! . Gag that stupid, dangerous bastard and deal with the consequences. Far easier!
Of all of Trump's abuses perhaps the worst abuses are the excuses the GOP make for him.
"Let me see that, I want to show you an example." Trump's first words suggest someone else in the room was already examining the classified document before handing it to Trump at his request.
Cruelty is the point! This is Nero's last party and he has a gleeful crowd over to watch him continue to self immolate. When he finally wins his orange jumper, will he be annointed Donald Christo?
No fence is going to shield Chief Justice John Roberts' from such a scathing takedown as Lawrence O'D just delivered on tonight's broadcast.
if news networks are fact checking Trump after a lie, then the damage has been done.
