I thought this was a " new", recently found tape? This is the same deposition he was givin months ago. Seems as long as he takes the 5th, all the questions don't give us anything new. As long as he's allowed to use the 5th, it's not a proven guilt. Even if, the 5th, is said to be an admission, it seems legally it can't be. He may as well say, I'm not sure. It's disgusting his behavior.

@graemebr How can there be errors, if they're not spoken to? When he claims, the 5th, it doesn't verify nor nullify the accusations. Seems until he is made to answer the questions, or they are proven by evidence, which I'm sure they have, he hasn't admitted to anything. I'm sure he's guilty as sin and has done everything they suggest in this proceeding. But up until they go into a courtroom and put the facts they have, on a whiteboard, for all to see, he'll claim innocence. And millions of people will accept his claim. This is why he takes the 5th. When he's asked, are you the head of the trump organization, and liable for decisions made there? If he says no, and proven later to have lied. He's sunk. If he says yes. He's sunk. What the hell does, same answer, say? I know it's, due process... but it seems like time and money wasted. When he's allowed to plead the 5th, with seemingly no value for the prosecution. And more delay for him. Despite maybe the inconvenience. But watching his smug face and semi belligerent attitude , is gag rendering.

@blueforest4589 No, I'm saying, maybe time could be saved by just getting his ass on a witness stand, put all this evidence up on a monitor, and give it to a jury. And quit pussyfooting around with him. These depositions show nothing to the public. And face it, his future will be made by the public more harshly if a larger majority see the proof of his guilt. Or innocence, as u say. Not very many criminals, graciously admit that what they did, was wrong. A deposition full of, same answer, responses. Do nothing. And I don't think a deposition is a necessity for making a case, unless yes or no, is expected.

@blueforest4589 I agree! IF !!! information is received. But I did think about it after I hit send. And maybe an answer of, the 5th, is telling. Because the description is, " because the answer,MAY, tend to incriminate me. So maybe that in and of itself is incriminating. So I'll heal to the fact that a deposition is a part of the process. It's just, when it comes to him, he takes every form of legal q&a, and turns it into a rally announcement for his benefit.

@blueforest4589 Question ❓. Do you think a person on bail for a serious crime should have the exact same rights as a regular citizen? People out on bail, generally have certain restrictions put upon them. Why should trump be treated any different than any other person out on bail? Why should trump, have to be read everything 10 times, because he's a belligerent ahole? You keep saying, he doesn't have to do anything. It's up to the prosecution to prove his guilt. Then maybe we also treat him like many other criminals and make him stay in jail, awaiting his trial. You keep talking about equal justice under the law. Seems to me, they've gone to extreme lengths to cater to him. He's the one defying the rules.

@wetcheetofart Of course, laws were made by people. Regular people like you and me. There are laws, on the books that would make you cringe. That's why there are amendments. That's why some laws, aren't enforced. Because they are ridiculous. You're right, I'm no lawyer. But I see fairness and common sense in the practice of the legal process. And like you or anyone else that places our comments on these videos, I have my opinion. But I also have the ability for my opinion to be flexible. That's why we have the ability to see reason. Also the ability to make a point without totally thinking it through. I'm still, up in the air about the 5th amendment though. I don't think it's well defined. But, that's once again, just my opinion. Just like it's your opinion that just because I'm not a lawyer, means I don't have the right to have a legal opinion. Where do you think jurors come from? Ordinary citizens having a persons future in their hands.

@wetcheetofart P.S. how many of our " congressmen", are lawyers? Yet they make laws, that you and I have to follow all the time.

@blueforest4589 First of all. You answered your first question with your own translation. And yes, I'm referring to the deposition questions. Second, I did accept the premise that the deposition is a part of the process. Even though it gave nothing to the questions when the 5th is used 400 times. Because no matter how you define or take the 5th , it's not an answer that a jury can use . My opinion. I do not, disagree that we have rights, and they should be adhered to. But also a defendant also has a responsibility follow judges orders right? And no matter what you say about our rights. Once you are indicted, your rights are diminished because you are no longer totally innocent. You ve been deemed by a grand jury to be guilty enough to be guilty of a crime. And from that point until you are deemed innocent by the law, your rights are restricted. He's already been CONVICTED, as a sexual deviant. The judge called him a rapist. Though he books show abuser, as the recorded crime. Bottom line is, you keep referring to him as, just another person, who's been accused...of something. I refer to him as a convicted rapist, that's been, " indicted", of dozens of crimes. Of which the majority of America and probably the world, believe he's guilty of. But if YOU, want him to be the poor little guy accused of minimal crimes like maybe petty shop lifting, you keep defending him. I'm not.

@blueforest4589 Rally time. 🤖 You have conveniently forgotten to copy and paste the rest of the courts findings. You know, the ones that rejected call for a hold on the case to proceed. The case is based on trump and family, paying fines for his fraud crimes. She doesn't care about making him sell all his overrated scumbag holdings. She is intent on proving his fraudulent practices and doing biz in the state anymore. He can continue to con his supporters for the 250 million plus shes going after. I'm sure he has enough sleazy properties to raise it. If they're not all over mortgaged or whatever. That's the case. And as for knowing the term," innocent until proven guilty", being something ya learn in highschool. I don't remember having that class. But I'm sure it was mentioned if you get in trouble cheating on a test or something. Anyway I know it and agree with it. But in trumps case, I think he's more than likely guilty as not. Tell me. Do you believe he attacked Miss Carroll?

@blueforest4589 Ooo, you sure got me alright. No answer to my question ❓ Why not? Rally time.
