The first-ever criminal trial of a former president will begin March 25th. At a hearing in New York City in the hush money case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the judge swiftly denied Trump’s motion to dismiss the 34 felony counts against him. The ex-president was in attendance. Former top prosecutor at the Department of Justice Andrew Weissmann, Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade, MSNBC Legal Correspondent Lisa Rubin and Former RNC chairman Michael Steele join MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez.

Next we will hear that it was a criminal mushroom that did it.
I love the Hutzpah of delaying-delaying-delaying, AND THEN, when the delay thing no longer works, claiming that the timing is inconvenient regarding trump's ability to do his Klan Rallies…
Dude, YOU could have finished this matter up months (or years) ago, by just going straight to trial.
Heck, if you'd just plead guilty in the first place, you'd probably be out of prison by now. Your Fault, Sweetie.
He is NOT President Trump. Trump LOST the last election.
Fun fact, Biden handed BOTH the two top jobs of the American judiciary system to GOPpers from the start of his term and NOBODY in the mainstream media even brought it up.
ZERO raised eyebrows. After a GOP-driven coup attempt no less.
Biden should – and could – have put all the Jan 6 organizers behind bars immediately after Jan 6.
Instead, he kept grooming Trump so Mar-A-Lardo could serve as his boogeyman in the election.
Same mindset as Hillary 2016, only worse cause dereliction of their sworn, holiest duty:
To protect democracy in America.
That is way too late, if he gets elected he will declare himself untoutchable and dictator of America.
Every him/herself claiming American MUST VOTE AGAINST TRUMP.
So in Trump's case,March came in like a lamb and will go out with him lyin'.

IT IS TIME TO MOVE THE EUROPE HOMINID-PRIMATE CRIMINAL INVADERS, OUT FROM AMERICA. LOOK AT ALL THE EVIL HOLICHOSTS THEY HAVE DONE AND LAUGH! NO CIVILIZED HYBRID INDIGENOUS PEOPLE HAVE THEM ABSOLUTELY NO HARM!
Counting the Dead: Estimating the Loss of Life in
the Indigenous Holocaust, 1492-Present
David Michael Smith
University of Houston-Downtown:
During the past century, researchers have learned a great deal about the nature and
scope of what Russell Thornton has called the demographic collapse of the Indigenous
population in the Western Hemisphere after 1492.1 As David Stannard has explained, the
almost inconceivable number of deaths caused by the invasion and conquest of these lands
by Europeans and their descendants constitute “the worst human holocaust the world had
ever witnessed.”2 Scholars have long had reliable information on the size of the Indigenous
population in this hemisphere and this country at its nadir around the turn of the twentieth
century. And in recent decades, investigators have developed a range of estimates of the
Native population in the Western Hemisphere before 1492. Researchers have also amassed
considerable knowledge about the role of diseases, wars, genocidal violence, enslavement,
forced relocations, the destruction of food sources, the devastation of ways of life,
declining birth rates, and other factors in the Indigenous Holocaust.3 This paper draws on
the work of Russell Thornton, David Stannard, and other scholars in attempting to count
the dead—that is, in developing informed and reasonable, if very rough, estimates of the
total loss of Indigenous lives caused by colonialism in the Western Hemisphere and in what
is today the United States of America. Although this analysis is inevitably grim and
saddening, there is much to be gained by understanding the most sustained loss of life in
human history—both for people living today and for future generations.
At the turn of the twentieth century, the total number of Native inhabitants living
in the entire Western Hemisphere had declined to 4-4.5 million.4
In 1800, only about
600,000 Indigenous people remained in the coterminous United States.5 By 1900, the
Indigenous population in this country reached its lowest point of about 237,000 people.6
The size of the Indigenous population in the hemisphere and this country then began to
grow again and has increased appreciably during the past century. Today about 70 million
Indigenous people live in the Western Hemisphere.7 There are now approximately 7.25
million American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians in the U.S.8
In view of
the historically unprecedented and unspeakably tragic depopulation that unfolded after
1492, the survival of Indigenous people is truly extraordinary. However, even today the
legacy of invasion, conquest, and colonialism continues to exact a terrible human toll.
Serious scholarly investigations into the size of the Indigenous population in the
Western Hemisphere before 1492 began early in the twentieth century. In 1924, Paul Rivet
estimated that between 40 and 50 million people lived in the hemisphere before the
8 Counting the Dead
Indigenous Holocaust began. 9 That same year, Karl Sapper also estimated the Indigenous
population in the hemisphere to be between 40 and 50 million.10 Both Rivet and Sapper
later revised their estimates downward to about 15.5 million and 31 million respectively.11
In 1939, Alfred Kroeber developed a much lower estimate of only 8.4 million for the entire
hemisphere.12 In 1964, Woodrow Borah announced a much larger estimate of “upwards of
100 million” Native inhabitants.13 Two years later, Henry Dobyns estimated the Indigenous
population of the hemisphere to be between 90 million and 112.5 million.14 In 1976,
William Denevan estimated the Indigenous population at between 43 and 72 million, the
mid-point of which is more than 57 million.15 In 1987, Thornton provided an estimate of
about 75 million.16 The following year, Dobyns revised his estimate significantly upward
to 145 million.17 In 1992, Stannard estimated the original population of the hemisphere at
about 100 million.18
Researchers have also developed various estimates for the pre-1492 population of
the lands that today make up the coterminous United States. In 1910, James Mooney
estimated this population at about 846,000. He later revised his estimate to more than
879,000.19 In 1939, Kroeber suggested that this population was only about 720,000 before
the Europeans arrived.20 In 1976, Douglas Ubelaker estimated that the original population
of the coterminous United States was more than 1.85 million.21 In 1981, Thornton and his
co-author Joan Marsh-Thornton developed an estimate of 1.845 million, which was very
close to Ubelaker’s.22 As Thornton later explained, this estimate was based on the
assumption that the pattern of depopulation between 1492 in 1800 had been linear, i.e. “in
a straight line.” But further research convinced him that the demographic collapse of the
Indigenous population in the present-day coterminous U.S. was “a more severe downward
curve.” Thornton revised his earlier finding and concluded that this population numbered
more than 5 million in 1492.23 And he estimated that another 2 million Native people lived
in what is today Canada, Alaska, and Greenland at that time.24 In 1992, Stannard estimated
that between 8 and 12 million Indigenous people lived in North America north of presentday Mexico.25 In 2014, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz suggested that about 15 million Indigenous
people lived in what became the continental U.S.
Counting the Dead 11
In addition to the deadly impact of diseases, wars, and genocide, Thornton has
emphasized that many Indigenous nations in what is today the United States were
“removed, relocated, dispersed, concentrated, or forced to migrate at least once after
contact with Europeans or Americans.”47 And he has observed that the forced removal of
over 100,000 Indigenous people to areas west of the Mississippi River during the first half
of the nineteenth century directly resulted in significant loss of life.48 Moreover, such
removals and relocations destroyed Indigenous people’s ways of life, which resulted in
substantial additional loss of life.49 Other devastating assaults on these ways of life
included
the Spanish missions in California, Florida, and Texas; the U.S.
government’s attempts to make Plains Indians into cattle ranchers and
southern Indians into American farmers…efforts by churches and
governments to undermine Indian religious, governmental, and kinship
systems… the often-deliberate destructions of flora and fauna that
American Indians used for food and other purposes…the near extinction of
the buffalo…50
Widespread starvation and malnutrition, the deleterious effects of forced labor, alcoholism,
demoralization and despair, declining fertility, and other factors also contributed to the
Indigenous Holocaust.51
now its going to be April, get on with it, stop the delays
Sleepless nights for you Trumpy Dumbty! You seem to have forgotten the difference between a leader and a manager. I thought you knew the difference because of your MBA background and your intelligence. Looks like you forgot!
Courts have been manipulated so far including SCOTUS.
The seriousness of these charges about hush money stems from many branches–falsifying documents; concealing the source of the funds; etc.–but the most important is that it was his first attempt to steal an election by concealing from the voting public some facts that he knew to be revelatory about him as a presidential candidate.
Pleasure>33 seconds, cost >130K$, jail time> eventually and inevitable…. for everything else there's MasterCard !
This didn’t age well!!
The trial will not start on that date. He owns the scotus judges and they'll step in and do his bidding as soon as he calls on them to do so.
Can someone please post a banner "IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME, DON'T DO THE CRIME" near any courthouse Trump is soon to appear for any of his charges!!
Trump's not running FOR President, he's running FROM, Prison!
MSNBC loves the Trumpsters.
Lock him up!!
Lose that awful hairstyle. It looks like you couldn’t be bothered to brush your greasy hair when you woke up this morning.
His a criminal how can he be a President
No more delays get the cases tried trump is playing our justice system
Finally, a courtroom that is not gonna take any of his criminal nonsense. I love it I was starting to lose faith.
Yeah, but he's special didn't you know? Yeah right.
Thanks be he will in court instead of with t-zombies, in Texas or Florida, or some other red state political hellscape. Should be prison; but I will take it.
Has nothing to do with elites It’s all about the people now knock it off.🇺🇸🫵👁️👁️🫵🇺🇸.❤️🐝😇
25th March is 9 months before Christmas so maybe Trump will find himself in a manger on Rikers Island by then.
Dennis Hastert went to prison for the hush money payments he made to keep the men he sexually abused as teenage boys quiet.
How can any lawyer with a conscious represent trump when he tried to overthrow the government. He should get nothing but a public defender
Why won’t his other trial judges tell tRump’s lawyers this SAME THING?!?🤦♂️
M
SHOULD is NOT a legal term
WHEN does SHOULD E VER apear in the LAW?
One dayyou w8ll mee your waterloo mr Trump
Also
Supreme Court already defined Trump as being guilty of insurrection so we don't need the House of Representatives what we do need is the Senate because the Senate determines the punishment the punishment is 14 three in the constitution if they don't agree to use 14 three, they would be aiding insurrectionist and that's a crime
When they suggest they are not serious charges, are they basing that relatively, and comparing them to the other charges he is facing?
Thank you to NY judges.
That didn’t age well.
Trump to MSNBC, no we're not going to trial in March, eh?
About time to hold him accountable. Let’s have a quick trial and a guilty verdict.
These people don't care what Trump goes down for just so long as he goes down. These people are truly sick.
