Full Raskin: Trump lawyer offers a ‘deranged argument’ in Trump defense
#JamieRaskin #Trump #Politics
fun fact: the word President is a contraction of two words: Presiding Resident. A position held by a US born citizen of the minimum age of 35. I believe those are the only requirements to run for President, but since I would never want the job I am not really sure.
After this trial and trumps convicted, then Mr. Smith needs to indict him for Insurrection! Lock him up for life!
Hunter Biden has Nothing to do with politics!
Vote BLUE! Vote as blue as possible, vote as blue you can, vote the bluest blue you can possibly vote!
Ok… Now What? What is going to happen? I don’t know but this is so Scary I think he needs 2 go 2 jail ASIP or maybe a mental hospital with a “STRAIGHT JACKET”
The lawyers must not have read the Constitution.. a deranged client deserves a deranged argument..
I love Raskin. He has morals, integrity and common sense.
BS
You wait and see Trump’s trial will not be on TV. They do not want you to see all the corruption that will be brought out against. Biden and the deep state.
You Notice, NBC is not carrying the live oversight hearings going on because they have had whistleblowers from the DOJ IRS FBI men that have been on the job for over 20 years. Telling how corrupt the Bidens are.
Jaime Raskin for President!!!!!!!!🇱🇷
The Funny thing is that Trump is ALL FOR broadcasting the event. Trump, who never met a camera he didn’t like, AND Trumps lawyers, are already 100% behind this. And having stopped to consider what happened to AH in the JD/AH public proceedings, many of the Dems are already RUNNING from this idea. (“putting EVERY facet of the governments dirty tricks against Trump on EVERYONE’s television screen?…are you CRAZY???”)
IMPEACH JOE BIDEN FOR MONEY LAUNDERING WITH UKRAINE OLIGARCHS AND VIOLATING U.S. IMMIGRATION LAWS.
Didn’t even attempt to answer the last question.
THANK YOU Rep. Raskin for talking in plain-speak: a violation of the Constitution is a violation of the Constitution! Responses need to be simple for those GOP MAGA supporters to maybe understand the continuing damage that TFP is doing to America’s democracy.
If Trump’s guilt in meddling’s denied,
And his claim of election wins implied,
Then by a similar thread, one could proclaim,
Bank grievances permit thievery’s aim.
But caution’s advised when drawing such lines,
Laws are intricate, where fairness entwines,
Matching unequal deeds side by side,
Reason must in the forefront reside.
Give me more Jamie Raskin, brilliant. Continued strength in your recovery Jamie.
Raskin, go home.
Can you imagine trying to overthrow a corrupt government, YES, the British sure can… and lost.
Treason – trying to over throw the goverment = lil Donnie Jean trump LOCK HIM UP
Is Hunter running for office no then why is he even brought up
Candidates pick their electors thats a fact. Raskin faiis to mention this while he is making up what really happened.
Keep an Eye on Victoria Nuland, most of this will lead back to her.
The simple truth is far too many GOPers have a major problem with democracy.
Both of these guys are cool.
Deranged is a middle age man losing his hair going bald throwing a rag over his head and claiming cancer!
Freedom of speech of ONE MAN can not criminalize Freedom of Voting of MILLIONS.
Please continue to give Donald Trump as much airtime as possible
Trump 2024 !
Thank You Professor Raskin, you give us hope.
Stop with the polls, last one I saw has 1300 asked people and 880 were Republicans.
WHATING THIS DISILLUSIONED HAM SANDWICH DETERIATE WILL BE WITH PLEASURE
2 Nut jobs
They opened the doors for the visitors Jan 6th. . This is political smear. The left will lie like a snake. It’s who they are. 3 Trump appt. Supreme Court Justices will Shine the Light.
It’s a Great Question? Nothing but pure Blabber after that.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
loveeeee loveeee cong raskin
Look at this clown 😂😂😂
I have seen this guy lie so much he don’t even know what the truth is
Ever heard of double jeopardy Raskin? Trump was already impeached over Jan 6th. The supreme court is gonna throw this out on its ear. You also violated separation of powers by becoming involved in Trump’s indictment and crafting 3 of the 4 charges. Bennie Thompson spilled the beans on this. Then you have Smith committing fraud when he intentionally misrepresented the case and omitted the part of Trump’s speech where he said “Peacefully and patriotically”. Smith is also gonna have to prove 2 things that are impossible to prove. He;s gonna have to prove that the election was not stolen, but there was no official election audit, because congress voted not to delay certification and do one. You can say that the election was not stolen, but you have no proof of this. How can you say Trump overturned a legitimate election without an official audit. It might not be legit, which means Trump had every right to try and overturn it. Also, how are you gonna prove that Trump believed the election was legit? Do you have a mind reading machine?
Trump deraingment syndrome patient zero.
Holding Trump accountable for attempting a coup is not a battle over “free speech.”
Conspiracy to overturn an election is not protected under the First Amendment.
Where’s the separation of powers? Raskin worked for 2 years on the Jan 6th committee to frame this case against Trump and 3 of the 4 charges in Smith’s indictment came from that committee. Bennie Thompson said this on MSNBC, that 3 of the 4 charges came from their Jan 6th committee. You can bet the supreme court is not gonna like congress violating separation of powers. Investigation is one thing, but this crossed the line into prosecutorial when they helped craft the indictment.
He said at the beginning of all this, that he had Dr’s that would say that he was mentally deranged to keep him from going to jail.
Trump lawyers know what plays among their conned base
Raskin is a liar, a coward and a charlatan. I pray he’s doing well and beating cancer…but the man was bald already and wearing these ridiculous bandanas as a prop
Raskin is spot on. Glad to see this kind of intelligence in our elected officials.
We shall see. These are the same folks who Obstructed our government from 2016–>2020, hid the laptop, and are covering for Joe’s venality and corruption right now.
Does it bother them that every time a new wrinkle emerges about Hunter’s shenanigans there comes another Trump indictment? Coincidence?
Chuck and Jamie- and 8 more makes a minyan. That’s how much they can be trusted.
I want to applaud each time I see or hear Congressman Jamie Raskin. He is the epitomie of what it is to be a great American. Sometimes I actually do applaud, sitting right here alone at the computer.
Poor maga hats simping for a millionaire who happily takes their money and spends it on himself.
Raskin Rox!
Volodymyr Zelensky, was a comedian/actor by profession who became a RESPONSIBLE and RESPECTIVE PRESIDENT not only to the eyes of his people but also to the world.. Donald Dump was a CLOWN PRESIDENT who became a COMEDIAN !
LOL
Zelensky canceled elections in his country. You are in good company..
You “defend democracy” by jailing your political opponents and by canceling elections.
They keep missing the ball on why 45’s poll numbers remain high, and it’s so darn obvious!
It’s because Fox media and all the MAGA leaders keep insisting on cajoling the base into believing in their false messiah.
Come on, man, the answer to that is clear as day.
Had MAGA media/leaders stopped that nonsense long ago and called it out for what it is, his poll numbers would have long-since tanked…
Thankful that Raskin is part of our government. The right man at the right time. It’s too bad there are so few like him.
If you take off this weirdo’s do-rag will his wee lil brain fall out?
yes
That head covering is so disrespectful towards the US Flag and he should be ashamed for wearing it.
It was a FEDsurrection – the Biden administration is 100% illegitimate
RATskins hair grew back six months ago. Now he does his Bret Michaels wannabe look . He left law. Practice to be a low payed representative stock day trader. Never wrote a bill ever.
Jan. 6 th committee lost all their records. Seems odd.
I thank God for normal people and for the ones that stand up for truth and facts.
His base must be communists.
Trump has not asked anyone to break the law. And Trump didn’t break the law.
JOEY has Never done that
Al Gore and Hillary others have argued election results get off of it Raskin
I guess they all learned how to lie at the same school
why does this guy where a do rag on his head?
“You believe the bank owes you some money, you don’t have a right to rob the bank”
Finally, a Democrat with good, concise soundbytes. Won’t convince trumplorables, but it sure does make normal people feel good!
“Why do you think trump is polling the same as President Biden?” I can answer that:
1: He isn’t. This is just ONE poll and in previouse and future polls, Biden will out poll him
2: For arguments sake, let’s assume they ARE the same: It’s decades long brainwashing courtesy of foKKKs NOOZE. There are FOUR YEAR OLD kindergarteners who are ALREADY SO brainwashed by regular media that they think whites are mostly the boss, a company owner, a cop, smart and rich and that blacks are mostly minions, poor, dumber, and employees. If four year olds are are already so brain washed after 2 conscious years, then Americans who’ve been exposed to brainwashing for 20, 30, 50 years are MORE brainwashed
The three biggest liars in Congress: Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff and Dan Goldman!
If you pay close attention to the speaker it’s easy to understand when they believe what they are saying. It’s obvious those points made they don’t really believe but acting convinced for the good of the team.
YEARS 🤯 OF BS CRIMINAL dt
WTH📢📢📢📢📢
Sorry … a “technical violation” means what, exactly? “I didn’t mean to ‘technically’ steal your car. I was just taking it for a joy ride”?
Finally a judge doing their job and kind of stops this b******* shitshow
Poor lawyer just trying to teach this guy the law and this guy instead of learning labels him deranged haha
I love me some,
Jamie Raskin
He truly is for democracy, and I truly believe that he is presidential material!!!
I see you’re still wearing your head cover, Jamie. Wishing you better health very soon. All good vibes to you and your family.
Trump was not the one that had dead people voting like the Dem’s was doing ,oh wait that’s right Biden and the Democrats can do that and anything else they want to do
Love that guy!! Wish I could vote for him!!
Raskin is a breathe of fresh air ❤ thank God for real people like him Representing a sane part of the country ❤
A simple way to see it is that we’re in a Biblical Spiritual War between Christ and Satan for the dominion of this country and this planet. God is allowing Satan to have his way for now so the universe that’s looking on can see the results of Satan’s rebellion and his government. There will come a time when it will get so bad that God will bring it to a stop and Jesus Christ will return. Choose you this day who you will serve, Jesus Christ of Satan! There is no third option! People are taking sides even if they are unaware of it.
The democrat party is Anti-Christian!
The Constitution applies equal among all but Democrats only want it to apply when it suits their needs. Raskin is a so called Constitutional Scholar, but he’s either a liar or has no clue what he’s talking about and then there is the third option which is “both”!
Bribem Administration Crimeanomics !
Derangement Syndrome is exclusive to Dimocrat Swamp, FBI, DOJ, Fake News, Kangaroo Courts. Take it to Supreme Court put Trump on TV. What are Democrats’ afraid of? Sure they can still edit Trump somehow.
Raskins is another adam shifty shift……😮. Americans see dems want to get Trump at any cost ? Because he will win and they can’t stop him….😊. He is unstoppable.!!!
Most Americans believe the Democrats did steal the election !!😊….
Grow up America who cares hunter mind own business Biden is president trump should be in jail simple from rest of world 😂
Go to any lengths necessary to make sure Trump never again (fill in the blank)………😊
Raskin is a grub wannabe hippy.
Raskin 2028 POTUS!
Democrats are not deranged they are just 100% obsessed with removing Trump from the 2024 elections. There is a difference. And if someone’s grandmother gets in the way of them doing this, then she is a gonner.
Dear _____________ (elected official),
In Count 4 of his most recent indictment, Donald Trump is charged with victimizing the American voters by conspiring to deprive us of our right to vote. As crime victims, the American people have a right “not to be excluded” from Trump’s trial, which will be held in Washington, DC. I am asserting my rights under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act, 18 US Code section 3771(a)(3), not to be excluded from the trial. Given that the courtroom has a limited capacity, if the trial is not televised, I will be excluded from the courtroom in violation of my federal legal statutory rights. Accordingly, I respectfully request that you do everything in your power to ensure that my legal right to attend Donald Trump’s trial is not violated. Thank you.
Sincerely,

NBC “news” and this shameless Marxist Rascal who LIES like Soviet politburo 🤡🤡🤮🤮🤮🤮
Nobody sane takes NBC seriously as “news”
OMGOSH they really don’t want him2run for high office- Guess open out in public this ham sandwich just commited too many crimes also indicted guilty criminals out on bail have limited speech
Crazy how GOP congress is all behind “Hair Fuhrer”, just heard that registered Republicans only represent %40 of voters, and MAGA only represents %25 percent of those, how they are throwing what little integrity thet may have had away for all of his poison is incalucuable, makes no sense. They are all on theri knees for this tyranical monster, begging for more and screaming out their addiction to subserviance. Mind boggling. The lawyers that are willing to throw their “everything” under the bus for him, it’s just bizzare.
