0:00

well folks everyone has an opinion about

0:02

the Trump indictment lawyers and

0:04

non-lawyers alike and I've heard a lot

0:06

of the opinions I've read almost every

0:08

single op-ed piece on this and I am very

0:11

surprised that almost everybody seems to

0:13

be missing an extremely obvious and the

0:16

most dangerous argument against Donald

0:19

Trump I'm going to talk about that after

0:21

I quickly summarize where we stand so I

0:24

can save you as much time as possible so

0:26

we can minimize the amount of time that

0:28

we have to talk about Donald Trump and

0:29

we could go back to learning how to

0:31

build wealth so first where do we stand

0:35

and then second what is everybody

0:37

missing because there's a very key

0:39

argument that everybody is missing Bragg

0:42

told us about it and everybody is

0:43

missing it he didn't highlight it very

0:46

well and that's because quite frankly I

0:48

think Bragg doesn't know how to put

0:49

together a very good legal case I think

0:51

he's throwing spaghetti against the wall

0:53

but there's a piece of spaghetti that

0:55

might actually stick so first Where Do

0:58

We Stand oh here becomes Sean Connery

1:01

stand by

1:03

all right here we go on the left people

1:06

say this is the left okay I'm gonna have

1:09

to I'm gonna have to signpost this every

1:10

time on the left people say Donald Trump

1:13

paid thirty thousand dollars to pay off

1:14

the National Enquirer who ended up

1:16

paying off a doorman who had a story

1:19

alleging that Donald Trump had a child

1:21

from an affair that child part of the

1:24

story we don't know if it's true or not

1:26

the left says that Donald Trump then

1:29

paid 150 000 and another 130 000 to

1:33

silence two women with whom which he

1:36

cheated which of course he denies the

1:39

left is arguing that Justice is now

1:41

finally being served that no one is

1:43

above the law and don't worry even

1:45

though Manhattan 76 to 78 of the time

1:50

Hillary Biden votes Democratic we are

1:53

confident Donald Trump will get a fair

1:55

election the left also says that New

1:59

York City is the financial capital of

2:01

the world so we must prosecute Financial

2:04

crimes in fact in a New York Times which

2:08

obviously leans left opinion editorial

2:10

by the former Chief assistant district

2:13

attorney who leans left for Manhattan

2:16

and the left-leaning special counsel

2:19

which means attorney to the house

2:21

Judiciary Committee on the first

2:23

impeachment trial against Trump which

2:25

means they lean left they just wrote an

2:27

op-ed saying hey come on Donald Trump is

2:31

the 30th person we are Prosecuting this

2:33

year for falsifying documents so don't

2:35

worry this is not a political Witch Hunt

2:37

this is just what we do that's what the

2:40

left is saying okay the the right is

2:43

saying the following the statute of

2:45

limitations has expired although some

2:48

New York state laws have actually

2:50

potentially extended those statutes of

2:52

limitations then they say this is a

2:55

political Witch Hunt and quite frankly

2:57

it probably is not a political Witch

3:00

Hunt anymore it is now a witch trial

3:02

yeah okay so it's a Witch Hunt that has

3:04

evolved to do a witch trial others say

3:07

the state can't prosecute this Donald

3:09

Trump was a federal candidate

3:12

some people who are a little bit more

3:14

torn like the left-leaning economists

3:16

say this is a very weak case not only is

3:19

this a weak case but it creates more

3:22

divisiveness in America it casts more

3:25

doubt on the judicial system by

3:27

Republicans and The Economist calling

3:30

this a mistake is not even an American

3:32

publication they're from England

3:35

The Wall Street Journal and they're left

3:37

leading the Wall Street Journal a

3:39

right-leaning paper calls this a quote

3:41

novel interpretation to which of course

3:43

the left-leaning opinion editorialists

3:46

in the New York Times State this is not

3:48

novel this is normal

3:49

even CNN says this is super weak thanks

3:52

Sean McGuire statement of facts okay

3:55

it's important the statement of facts

3:58

basically a whole strung together story

4:00

about how Donald Trump at least in part

4:02

knew that he was paying people off in

4:05

fact in a surreptitiously recorded

4:08

statement Donald Trump asked if he

4:10

should pay a hundred fifty thousand

4:12

dollars in cash essentially to pay off

4:14

woman number one who is Karen McDougall

4:16

she was a Playboy model she was once

4:19

deemed number two to Pamela Anderson in

4:21

other words she's very attractive good

4:24

for her Donald Trump instead of paying

4:26

cash ultimately settled for paying in

4:28

check because that's what Michael Cohen

4:30

who now has turned on Donald Trump

4:32

recommended and Michael Cohen has gone

4:35

to jail to prison for being convicted of

4:38

campaign finance and violations so these

4:41

are the arguments we hear we hear the

4:43

statement of facts we don't have to

4:45

rehash all of this we know this the last

4:47

thing I'd like to say uh and then I want

4:49

to get into what everybody is missing

4:51

the last thing is just a reminder that

4:54

this is a an argument being made about

4:56

the potential violation of a misdemeanor

4:59

or by violating the uh falsifying of

5:03

business records that is a misdemeanor

5:05

crime but when it is used in a way to

5:07

cover up another crime that misdemeanor

5:09

elevates to a classy felony the lowest

5:12

available felony which Manhattan has a

5:15

history of a demoting 50 of their

5:18

felonies to misdemeanors and then only

5:20

convicting 50 percent of the remaining

5:22

felonies which means they only have

5:23

about a 25 felony conviction rate with

5:26

that said accuse you some good odds for

5:28

Donald Trump with that said obviously

5:30

the argument is being made that this

5:33

case is about hush money payments the

5:36

problem is hush money payments are not

5:39

necessarily fraudulent in themselves

5:41

hush money payments are not against the

5:44

law in themselves if an employee leaves

5:47

your company and they could potentially

5:49

talk crap about you because you make

5:52

racist jokes in the locker room then it

5:55

is okay to say hey if you agree not to

5:59

say anything thing about the company

6:00

would you be willing to take ten

6:03

thousand dollars and sign an agreement

6:04

to that fact that is normal that is what

6:07

happens every single day in America

6:10

however Mr Bragg makes the argument that

6:14

these hush money payments are actually

6:17

defrauding voters that is a very

6:20

important it is still not though the

6:22

argument that everyone is missing that's

6:24

because the argument that hush money

6:26

payments defraud voters is weak I'm

6:29

going to explain why it is weak first it

6:32

does not defraud anyone of money or

6:34

property that makes it almost a

6:37

potential victimless crime now the

6:40

argument could be made that no no no

6:42

Kevin the voters are the victims the

6:45

voters are the victims because Donald

6:47

Trump conspired to promote his candidacy

6:50

via unlawful means covering up the fact

6:54

that he hid disclosures that should have

6:56

been made to voters they had a right

6:59

like to know about those cover-ups and

7:03

they did not had they maybe Donald Trump

7:05

would not have become president okay

7:07

that's the argument but that argument is

7:09

potentially weak it's weak because

7:13

Donald Trump could easily say I didn't

7:16

cover up those stories because of

7:19

politics those stories would have gotten

7:21

me more votes prove otherwise I would

7:24

have looked like a top G and I would

7:27

have gotten more votes had people known

7:29

I got to have sex with the number two

7:33

Playboy model of the 90s that's an

7:36

argument he could make so his defense

7:38

could very Simply Be I wanted to cover

7:41

up the story because I didn't want my

7:43

wife to know about these potential

7:45

Affair rumors which I didn't have the

7:49

affair but I wouldn't want my wife to

7:51

think there was even a chance of them

7:53

that is the easiest defense Donald Trump

7:56

can have here okay but listen to this

7:59

and then we're gonna move back to

8:01

talking Finance listen to this this is

8:04

the big piece of the puzzle that's

8:06

missing Alvin Bragg threw a piece of

8:09

spaghetti against the wall that I think

8:10

is very strong

8:12

he threw a piece of spaghetti against

8:14

the wall and there is a weakness to it

8:16

but it is strong

8:17

he referenced the fact that it is

8:20

possible Michael Cohen and Donald Trump

8:23

falsified tax filings that folks is a

8:27

crime in the state of New York now you

8:30

don't even have to worry about federal

8:32

law you don't even have to worry that

8:33

Donald Trump was not a state candidate

8:35

he was a federal candidate you don't

8:37

even have to worry about that you just

8:39

have to worry about is it possible that

8:41

the falsification of business records

8:43

helps cover up

8:45

phony tax filings that piece of

8:49

spaghetti I think is the potential

8:51

Achilles heel for Donald Trump now I

8:53

still don't think that is very strong

8:55

because here's how I would potentially

8:58

argue defending that you could make the

9:01

argument that listen Donald Trump simply

9:04

said I paid Michael Cohen call it three

9:08

hundred thousand dollars and if with

9:10

that three hundred thousand dollars he

9:12

decided he wanted to make a business

9:14

expense and pay off Stormy Daniels and

9:20

uh Karen McDougall and pay off uh a

9:23

doorman then maybe he did that and the

9:27

duty of his job that was his decision he

9:30

went to jail for that that was not my

9:32

decision I did not guide him to do that

9:34

that was all him that's Donald Trump's

9:37

defense here but Alvin Bragg can take a

9:39

jurisdictional argument on the case of

9:45

fraud of the tax system that is probably

9:49

the strongest piece that Bragg has let

9:51

me quickly draw this and then we're

9:54

going to end the Trump segment because

9:55

people keep telling me Kevin you're a

9:57

financial advisor talk finances pitch us

10:01

on your courses on building your wealth

10:03

link down below or life insurance you

10:05

can get in as little as five minutes or

10:06

12 free stocks you know give us your

10:08

paid promotions don't talk politics

10:10

that's what people keep telling me but

10:11

I'm going to do it anyway so what do I

10:13

have over here because I think I have a

10:14

good point

10:15

watch this okay if this is Trump's

10:19

business right here and Trump hires

10:22

employees well employees sit within the

10:26

company correct well by definition

10:29

independent contractors are not

10:33

employees of the business if Michael

10:36

Cohen has a business here and Donald

10:39

Trump pays for Legal Services

10:42

for whatever those Services may be if

10:46

those Legal Services go to Michael Cohen

10:48

those Legal Services call it what you

10:50

want they are Income they are income

10:55

Michael Cohen was an independent

10:57

contractor though that is income for

10:59

Legal Services simple if Michael Cohen

11:02

decided then to spend that money on

11:06

prostitutes for himself he could do that

11:09

if he decided to spend that money on

11:11

hush money for Stormy Daniels woman one

11:14

woman two uh uh you know uh doorman he

11:19

can do that if he thinks that's going to

11:21

help do a better job for Donald Trump he

11:23

could do that if he thinks buying a

11:25

private jet with Donald Trump's money

11:27

helps he could do that now Donald Trump

11:30

might look and go you're fired because

11:32

you're wasting money and you're not

11:33

performing

11:35

but all of these things would be the

11:38

decision of Michael Cohen and that is

11:40

the defense that Donald Trump would have

11:42

to go with that there is a decisional

11:45

barrier here that Donald Trump is

11:48

basically saying look you run the show

11:50

it's on you whatever decisions you make

11:53

as an independent contractor are your

11:55

responsibility that's probably the best

11:57

defense here because that kills the tax

12:00

fraud argument in my opinion

12:04

now stand by for the close of this video

12:09

look

12:10

obviously this whether you are left or

12:14

right is a politically motivated uh uh

12:17

attack

12:19

Democrats are loving this Republicans

12:22

are loving this too because Donnie T is

12:26

getting more air time and more donations

12:28

than ever before Donnie T before this

12:31

indictment was sitting in a corner

12:34

nobody was paying attention to Donnie T

12:36

people were like oh Nikki Haley ooh

12:39

Ronnie D oh Gavin Newsom what do you

12:42

have now

12:44

Donnie everywhere everyone's talking

12:46

about Donnie so if you're a Democrat and

12:49

you're happy about this indictment

12:51

even though this is probably just going

12:53

to end up as a stupid misdemeanor even

12:54

if Donald Trump gets convicted and he's

12:56

gonna get a slap on the wrist fine it's

12:58

not going to be made it's gonna be

12:59

meaningless if anything is just gonna

13:00

Propel him into the presidency not get

13:02

him away from the presidency Democrats

13:04

I'm sorry you should not be cheering

13:06

that this happened Republicans

13:09

should probably be the ones sharing that

13:11

this has happened because it basically

13:12

put Donald Trump back at the top for

13:13

them just saying that's just the reality

13:16

of it I don't have a horse in this race

13:17

I don't really care I just want to

13:20

provide Insight in the middle I ran for

13:22

governor in California I ran as somebody

13:24

who was in the middle 51.49

13:27

and we really don't need to go into what

13:29

direction that one percent is because it

13:31

really just doesn't matter we're so far

13:33

in the middle I called myself I'm not

13:35

going to say it what I called myself JFK

13:37

style that's well I limit it there

13:39

anyway okay very very in the middle

13:44

I lost I almost had a million votes and

13:46

I won San Francisco but I still lost

13:48

that's why I'm here still making

13:50

wonderful YouTube videos although I

13:51

think I would have still made YouTube

13:52

videos in office

13:53

uh I would have figured it out but

13:56

anyway that's my take I hope you enjoyed

13:58

my take on Donny T now we got some other

14:00

things to talk about thank you very much
