reminiscent of o.j. and that white bronco chase a back in the 90s. the plane took off and hours later landed at laguardia. what suspension, and no one was immune. it s what gets everybody to watch the news. they re going to cover him like a burka. they pretend he s awful, but all of those clowns need him to survive. we covered it like that [laughter] clowns! you know, it s live, it s happening, he s landing. it s a beautiful day in new york, it s the big trump plane howard: the next day, everything was soon. soon, the defendant to leave trump tower for lower manhattan courthouse, and there go the cars. now you know what these were about, ratings. so the media had trump where they wanted him, back on center stage. or is it the other way around? i m howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz. howard: we caught only brief glimpses of donald trump before and after the arraignment in the stormy daniels case. one still photographer capturing the grim image before manhatt
undemocratic than putting your political opponent in prison. the american people voted to put trump in power. then they voted to take that power away. and that s how things work in america. now that trump is running again a filthy d.a. rah sass sinating your right to vote. what s the crime? the indictment says under new york state law is a felony to falsify business records. we cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct coldcock an asian lady not serious. push into the subway not serious. make a error in a general ledger serious conduct. the thousands of businesses that put things in the wrong ledger don t they have to worry? no, why. because their owners aren t running for president. how is trump going to get a fair trial in new york? how can you going to pick a jury in how many jurors have no opinion on donald trump? who the is jury foreman rachel maddow. bragg doesn t understand this case he can t explain it. he says trump broke election law he did not put the
