Trump’s attorney speaks after jury finds Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation
something tells me his lawyer is going to have to threaten to sue or sue for payment.
Exactly. If he’s been given a check cash it quickly. I would demand direct deposit
I think he knows that and he viewed this as his audition reel for being a legal expert on Fox. He probably 4:16 spent more time going on talk shows than preparing his defense
Part of me loves it when a lawyer (potentially) doesn’t get paid for all their time and photocopy paper.
He got paid up front… on retainer
A crook, a conman and a traitor walk into a Courtroom. The Judge asks “How do you plead Mr Trump?”
I think your thinking of the current president not the last
@shane daley I think it’s hilarious you think you’re thinking.
You forgot sexual predator
👍💯
@Frank Dillard 😂😂😂👍
Trump’s attorney: “Now that this is over, my only concern is whether or not my client is going to pay me for my legal fees.” 🤣🤣
🤣🤣💙
Well he did get his 5 minutes of fame, but now it’s reverse marketing. He loses cases.
That’s EASY NOPE❗️🖕🍊✌️🇺🇸
Far from over. Tons of cases get overturned in appeals court. Especially ones against those with the power to fight them.
A month from now, Trump will be calling this guy a moron, blaming him for losing, and saying he’s suing him for misrepresentation.
A month!? He did it already judging from 🌮 pino’s trembling voice.
Funny but true.
👍💯
… Tacopinata 😆
No, it’s not over. And he will not be fired. Many big-time lawyers say his lawyers are good. Also, there are many lawyers on that team.
This is the voice of a man who is afraid of all the things he has done for his client and what his client wants to do to him
is he also a mafia lawyer?
@Evelyn Case asking a question like that might get you in trouble with his client, best of luck to you friend
Of course there will be an appeal, appeal, appeal. He try and spin it out, so he doesn’t have to pay, E.J.C
He looks very frustrated and nervous. Tbh Roy Wood Jr said it best at the Correspondent’s Dinner: “Ask any Republican to define CRT. It’s like asking a Democrat to explain the charges against Trump.” I’ve lost track of all the investigations and cases against this guy. At this point I just grab the popcorn to watch his hard-earned public humiliation.
Oh yeah, he looks *and sounds nervous* 😆. He knows he is going to get the blame followed by the customary Trump boot.
Trump’s defence: We would have won if the jury was restricted from seeing the evidence. LOL
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
What evidence?
@Cosa Nostra testimony under oath is evidence, bozo.
That’s Fox’s/Murdoch’s entire business strategy.
“Having him (Trump) being here would have made it more of a circus” at least that part was truthful😂
😂
You should not be able to appeal if you do not appear in court
This was civil, and in your case, you have that option too.
My hope is that the second E Jean Carroll case goes to court and the judge says right off the bat to trump are you testifying or going to Ireland.
@Connie My hope, also, is that the 2nd jury awards her $10 million.
He should cut his losses and not appeal.
@macforme that would be nice
This months lawyer knows damn well this was not a ‘rape’ case. It was defamation. It’s that kind of disingenuousness that assisted the verdict no doubt. Why does everyone Florida Man comes into contact with, end up with LESS than when they started? Whether it be their job, freedom, finances or reputation. No-one remains unscathed. 🌹❤️
MAGA’s and foreign trolls talking points for the next week.
Because he is a parasite. He infects a host,uses it up,then moves to the next host
I hope that nut case women get harrased for a long time and has to pay for security.
Yo, Tacopina, if you don’t want your client to be called a rapist, tell him not to rape.
Lots of us manage to get through life without that accusation. That’s due to not raping anybody.
@Lamont Cranston , Just because the jury didn’t call him a rapist, doesn’t mean he’s not one. He even called himself one “grab them by p..sy “.
“He’s ready to move forward.” Yeah with poor people financing his legal problems even further
Imagine being caught on camera saying you would totally kill a person and then you end up on trial for killing a person. Then your lawyer tries to argue that shouldn’t be permitted.
The lawyer is a clown for that. It is ridiculous
Saying you wish someone is dead or that you would like to kill them is very different from actually committing a murder. Making statements like that make you a suspect, but only actually doing the crime makes you guilty. Determining guilt is supposed to be based on actual evidence.
@PaintedSaying “I don’t even think about it, I just stab whenever I walk by some people” should be considered a confession that you walk around stabbing people sometimes.
He literally said that he doesn’t ask or think about it, that he just grabs and starts kissing.
Judge: “Mr. Trump you are welcome to come testify. I grant you an EXTENSION until Sunday.” Trump: “I WAS SILENCED!!”
I wish the silence took place long ago..🤔🤨
It was his Bonespurs 😅
The Access Hollywood tape is definitely relevant in this case. It speaks to your client character.
Goes to credibility and character.
And THAT is EXACTLY why Tacopina didn’t want it in the trial.
Agreed. To character, disposition and intent.
What two men talking about sex with woman, OH what a sin. Lol happens all the time. Quit acting so holy! That tape was funny. He never said you can force a woman he simply said they will let you!
So a man talking about have sex with women proves he is a racist. I listened to the tape and not once did he say he forced himself on anyone. So it wrong to talk in private about sex. You just wanted him to be guilty. But it’s not over.
I’ve rarely seen a Lawyer look so much like a Defendant.
RICO…
Suave.
Tapioca must have been recommended by one of Trump’s mob buddies.
😂
He looks like My Cousin Vinny’s lawyer!
“Can’t get a fair trial with these jury members we couldn’t examine!”
“Jury found my client not guilty of rape so they are legit”.
The prosecution didn’t get to examine the jurors either. So shut up and sit down.
@Just Sayin’ because of trumps history of attacking them in the media. He sure seems to have a lot to say when he is not under oath or subject to cross examination.
If Trump is worried about having a fair trial, he should stop committing crimes
It wasn’t criminal court.
Not yet 😉 the wheel of justice is slow to turn but it turns none the less
@jlg554 witch-hunts
He isn’t commiting crimes that is the issue you should start using brain.
He does, it’s FAIR to say the man’s trial found him guilty….🥁
Access Hollywood helped to win the argument. However, him confusing Carroll (not his type) for Marla (his former wife – his type), sealed his coffin 😂
That tape proved nothing
I listened to it. Two men discussed having sex what a sin. And he never said he forced anyone. He said they will let you. I thought it was funny!
Didn’t need show the jury the Access Hollywood tape – Trump’s own words were enough for him to lose this case.
I like how he said that Trump can’t get a fair trial, but he never showed up to defend himself….🤔
You are serious?
@Brian Wurch Yea. Trump never showed up to defend himself. If he were innocent, he would have.
There was a deposition.
