  1. It’s a ridiculous argument lock him up

  2. The way these are the things he’s doing after he left office continuing with his lie the narrative he placed nicely prior to the election stop the steel lock him up trader treasonous

  3. He goes on sympathizing with the insurrectionist, promising to pardon, calling them patriots and hostages. Yes, sir, that is disqualification from running or holding office again that’s treasonous selling documents possibly let’s hear this in court he knows the evidence is there that’s why he’s trying to get it thrown out presidential immunity that’s ridiculous Joe Biden does he have it right now

  4. 3 HOURS REFUSED TO TELL INSURRECTIONIST TO GO HOME BUT EVENTUALLY CALL THEM Patriots and he loves them does sympathizing with the insurrectionists completely disqualifies him from holding office again

  5. Are they considering the fact that he smells like rotten garbage ?

  6. My oath, Trumps lawyers are on way too many gummy bears if ya know what, I mean listening to this hearing before the CRT’s. Wow!

  7. NO IMMUNITY FOR CRIMES COMMITTED WHILE HE WAS POTUS!!!!! NO NO NO

  8. These women are absolutely brilliant.

  9. Trump needs to hire a witch hunter. He is always crying that this is a witch hunt .It would be cheaper than all of the lawyers he is paying millions for

  10. Two judges are women of color and democrats at the same time. White man Trump will never get a fair verdict

  11. NBC, Why can't you show a picture of the one taking?

  12. Trump is going to lose his appeal because his lawyer is trying his best to skew the interpretation of the constitution

  13. Somebody get this man a cough drop. His voice is almost impossible to listen to😖

  14. Can it just be November already? This year is dragging on and on.

  15. I guess if that is true then Joe could just shoot the ex president and get away with it? Doesn't sound right, and trying to take the government over by force, isn't part of his official act! Is it?

  16. If a president can only be prosecuted after impeachment, then they could order Seal Team 6 to take out all their opponents in Congress, thus preventing impeachment. Similar to what Saddam did in Iraq.

  17. The audio issue is resolved around 5:01

  18. I assume we’ll be seeing Obama arrested next for murder? If Presidents don’t have immunity, he has a lot of explaining to do about his order for the drone attacks that killed innocents. I don’t think this is a box that Democrats really want opened.

  19. The left has once again played themselves. If the judge rules in favor of presidential immunity, Smith's and Willis' cases are done. If they rule against presidential immunity, Biden gets immediately sued by States for breaking/failure to enforce immigration law.

  20. God this guys voice is enough to drive you insane!! Can hardly stand to listen to him. I’m sure the justices are frustrated with his attempts to sidestep and not answer yes or no questions!!

  21. " I'm asking you a yes, or no question" ! But… but… but… whatabout…. whatabout?……… 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Whatabout?…. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ……… Just Pathetic!

  22. I’m just here for the comments 😂

  23. No one is above the law an immunity for breaking the law is wrong .
    You let people get away with breaking the law for too long it will nip you in the butt one day.

  24. TRUMP SHOULDN T GET AQUITTED HE S A LIABILITY TO THE COUNTRY THAT MEANS H CAN DO ANYTHING WRONG WITH OUT PROSECUTION THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKEING DIFFICULT DECISIONS 😮😮😮😮😮😮

  25. When the impeachment trial was held in Congress, Republican legislators argued that because he was no longer president, the trial should be held in court rather than as an impeachment case. How can his lawyers now argue that he would first need to be tried and convicted in an impeachment trial by the Senate?

  26. NOBODY SHOULD GET ELECTED IF THEY HAVE INDITMENTS AGAINST THEM THE SUPREME COURT SYSTEM ISN T WORKING AS IT SHOULD TRUMP HAS TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS😮😮😮😮😮😮

  27. We cant allow ourselves to be swayed by partisan corp media like NBC. Media like this might work in communist countries but will fail in America NBC .
