MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell describes the political history that was made outside and inside the courthouse of Donald Trump’s criminal trial. Outside the courthouse, Republicans led by House Speaker Mike Johnson rose up to show support for Donald Trump. And inside the courtroom, Michael Cohen’s cross-examination almost made you “begin to understand him” for the first time.

    Lawrence is the voice of the higher conscience of our nation.
  • @th.981
    Mike Johnson is the perfect example of a Religious Hypocrite.
  • @EveNickerson
    I don't hate Trump. I just don't want him to be President again. He did enough damage the first time around.
  • My question is - are "We the People" paying the members of the legislative branch to attend this trial? I was under the impression that they worked for us, not the defendant in this trial.
  • @debi1451
    I love the way that Lawrence narrates and weaves everything together. Johnson is a fake Christian and a Traitor!.
  • @chapablo
    Throwing all dignity in the trash just to get a nod from the mob boss. Johnson is not the first, or last, to do it. But to go cheer him up at the courthouse is a new low, even for the GOP.
  • @Vittachitta
    SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON GO HOME! It is completely inappropriate for you to show up on behalf of the defendant in a trial that follows the RULE OF LAW! What are you, his cheerleader? You ought to be ashamed. The PEOPLE of the JURY will DECIDE!!! VOTE BLUE :face-turquoise-speaker-shape::face-blue-question-mark::face-turquoise-covering-eyes::face-blue-smiling::face-blue-wide-eyes:

    Mr O'Donnell, Sir, you are Loved. There is nobody that brings it like you do ...
  • @TheFriarduc
    Thank you to Cohen’s family for doing a loving intervention to help Michael, the truth, and the country.
  • @llwil2003
    Michael Cohen is this century’s John Dean. Thank you Michael Cohen and Lawrence O’Donnell for fighting the good fight for America.
  • Lawrence, you are a true artist. The verbal picture you painted of Trump sitting in court was sheer genius.😂
  • @bigvee6900
    Lawrence always hits the spot in his monologues.

  • Lawrence really knows how to put together the facts and present them in a very meaningful way. He's my favorite on MSNBC.
  • @6Haunted-Days
    Lawrence is an AWESOME born storyteller. Absolutely LOVE his segments. He’s why I subbed to this app 🖤
  • @2dronetek2
    Would this be tolerated if it was Obama or Biden instead of Trump? No.
  • @1burnman
    Donald Trump and house speaker Mike Johnson continue to show the hypocrisy of the religious right
  • @malaika6921
    Lawrence, Not sure if you know it, but you're a poet and comedian. I'm in stitches!!! I am going to listen to your commentary again to make sure I didn't miss any of the jokes!!!
