  • so she just went from being a "star witness" to "her testimony isn't that important..." in a matter of mere minutes? how odd.
  • @jay4you853
    BS. The jury doesn't think like this. The jury thinks logically. Stop trying to talk for them. People understand nuance. She doesn't just randomly hate him🤷🏾‍♂️

    Over sharing is a symptom of PTSD.
  • @JimmyGSB
    I used to like listening to Eli Honig's perspectives, but recently he seems to just focus on being the negative counter to whatever the stream of the discussion is. She said she hates him. So what? What does he say about her? And complaining that Stormy is a messy personality - Abby - is beyond off-target. I have dropped CNN for MSNBC and clips like this remind me why.
  • @Dezil
    Didn’t your own poll show people don’t care?
  • @frizzle1002000
    Honig's fast becoming a clown. What exactly did he expect her to say? No, that she loved the guy! Come on Elie, stop being ridiculous.
  • @tomwyrsch9271
    They went to her to keep her from talking. She didn't go to them asking for money
  • @Lea4holidays
    WAIT so you wanted Stormy to lie!?!? At least she didn’t lie that she hated 45.

    When you have a lot of money, everyone wants some.
  • We should be referring to this as an election interference trial rather than a hush money trial. Words matter.
  • @5100yes
    The encounter was very brief .......LOL
  • @paguardian3123
    Make sure CNN's "legal expert" Jeff Toobin keeps his hands above the table!
  • @dougellis7917
    "Do you hate Donald Trump?" Stormy's answer was the same as millions of Americans.
  • @robertalker652
    Honig said "By order of a court, Daniels owes Donald Trump a half million dollars and said, I will never pay him. I will defy a court order. The defense is going to say she's willing to defy a court order." Somebody remind Honig that Trump has consistently violated court orders throughout this trial, at least 10 times.
  • @janiecovey9009
    " Deny deny deny " is that not what hope hicks said about all things trump ?
  • @richardvale214
    I imagine that CNN requires at least one host every day to support Donald Trump and that they pull straws to determine who it will be and that Ellie Honig pulls the short straw nearly every day.

    You're all going to feel stupid when this is over.
