I think at least part of the video was released previously, but considering the trial is now occurring it is pretty relevant.

His prepared statement he read is so pathetic.

1. That's some serious makeup malfeasance

Mr Trump, not Mr President. I love it

[Recycle_Guru]

2. yes!

[pwb]

3. I feel like I heard it before.

Beside China bought Forbes, who knows the message they want out there.

[Recycle_Guru]

5. hmm....seems to be a straight up recording, but I take your point

I didn't watch back then. Just funny to see his changed demeanor in a sworn deposition vs. his carnival barking when in front of cameras.

[Recycle_Guru]

7. actually, US entrepreneur bought 82% stake in Forbes this year

thankfully

4. So he just pleads the 5th the whole time.

This can't be used against him in a criminal trial, but it can be used against him in a civil trial.

[Recycle_Guru]

6. yep.

8. from deposition questions, Ivanka is definitely in hot water

below market rents for her and below market purchase options

[BComplex]

9. "I don't know what I did wrong". Hahaha! My husband says to put him in "time out" (in jail)

so he can think long and hard about what he did wrong!

[Recycle_Guru]

11. he just spends whole time saying "same answer"

but I like seeing all of their line of questioning.

[vlyons]

23. Glad I didn't watch. Why bother?

nt

[Recycle_Guru]

24. the questions were very telling about all tjey have on him

[pfitz59]

12. what a douche

won't even answer non-punitive questions.

16. yep. he is a mobster

[TheRickles]

19. His interrogator should have reminded him of that quote each time he took the 5th.

[calimary]

22. Well? Sounds like he IS the mob.

A wannabe capo. With bad makeup and a fading mind. Devolving back to when he was three and one of the few words he’d mastered was “MINE!”

[allegorical oracle]

14. He may have fudged when James asked if he takes any drugs. He said "no," but his WH

doc (Jackson) said in 2018 that he takes Propecia daily for his male pattern baldness.

Former President Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination Wednesday during a deposition before lawyers from New York Attorney General Letitia James' office in its probe into the Trump Organization's business practices.

18. Hilarious. I'll acknowledge my name and lie about taking drugs

[malaise]

17. The best part was how he looked up when he was called

Donald J Trump like how dare you not call me president

[spanone]

20. His first lie....'I do'

[ECL213]

21. He tries to impeach Cohen's credibility for being convicted of lying, etc.,...

...but Cohen was lying on Trump's behalf and, no doubt, at Trump's direction.

Cheetolini thinks this is a good line of defense. What a dumbass.
