five or fifth 500 times in my entire life, and i am old. he says you have the absolute right to take the fifth but in a civil case, the jury can sassum that there is an incriminating answer, and that doesn t look good. just ask one donald j. trump. have you seen what s going on in front of congress? fifth amendment, fifth amendment, fifth amendment. horrible. horrible. the mob takes the fifth. if you re innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment? when you have your staff taking the fifth amendment, taking the fifth so they re not prosecuted, i think it s disgraceful. so here we are. today s ruling coming just days after the accounting firm the former president and his businesses used for years, unceremoniously dumped them
and and and the same accountants who, um, just, you know, essentially fired donald trump were accountants we deposed over a decade ago. only difference is i was a journalist involved in that case, i wasn t a public prosecutor. um, during your deposition with trump, we deposed him for two days in december of 2007. two eight-hour sessions. and um, he was caught out lying more than 30 times in the course of those two depositions. we had bank documents. we had his tax returns. we simply pushed things across the table to him that he couldn t refute under oath. and our evidence, i don t think, was nearly as voluminous as as as what tish james s office has and what the manhattan da s office has and as elie pointed out, the you know, the evidence is so voluminous, that the judge essentially said to the trumps
eyewitnesses and really we are eyewitnesses when we watch these videos and we watch them over and over and over again and we are subjected to the kind of violence that black men face at the hands of police, in this case vigilantes. it has a psychologically damning effect on us. many people report not being able to sleep, not being able to eat, not being able to concentrate. and being in a constant state of depression and sadness over what they re witnessing. and some psychologists, don, tell folks to layoff the news. don t watch the stories, don t watch the videos, don t consume this kind of content because it is so painful and it s so offensive. you talked about the derek chauvin case, don. remember dylan ruth who killed the people at the mother emmanuel church in south carolina while they were in bible class. at that trial the survivors who didn t die from that massacre had to testify, and i remember the jurors also needed counseling after listening to those victims recount what ha
