Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO Late Month series, Real Time with Bill Moff.

Welcome over here.

Okay,

wow.

That's good.

How's the resistance?

Is this the resistance?

No, I hope so.

I hope they're on our side.

I mean, I thought we had a pretty good week.

Kind of an episode of Law and Order GOP this week, right?

I mean, for Democrats, kind of a relief.

There was two trials, both went our way.

Kind of like in college, remember, when you finally got laid after 18 months?

Yeah, Trump's personal lawyer and his former campaign manager both found guilty.

So witch hunt two, Trump nothing.

Michael Cohen admitted to every crime in New York that doesn't involve standing on the sidewalk with three playing cards in a box.

They're going to love that in New York, but they

see that all the time.

Yeah, we don't see that here.

But no, Trump called him a rat.

He's a rat.

The Trumps, they have a needlepoint pillow at their house that says, a friend is just someone you haven't thrown under the bus yet.

He's a rat.

That Trump tweeted, if you're looking for a good lawyer, don't lie on Michael Cohen.

That's

Steve Bannon, Amorosa, Cohen.

Trump's defense is always, why would you ever trust someone who I picked to work for me?

And Manafort, the other guy who got it the other day, on the same day, came down within an hour.

Oh, how embarrassing.

It's like going to the Oscars and someone's wearing the same dress.

It's just.

But yeah, he was guilty of eight counts, four counts of bank fraud, four counts of tax fraud, and one count of wearing ostrich after Labor Day.

That was...

But yeah,

when Trump heard that he was guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud, Trump was shocked.

He said, those are crimes?

But

Trump was very different about Mr.

Manafort.

than he was about Michael.

Michael Cohen's a rat, not Manafort.

He's a good man.

Refused to break like that rat Cohen.

Yeah.

He said, such respect I have for a brave man.

Hashtag whitecollar crimes matter.

But

it's a dark day for our country, but on the bright side, the Mexican kids got released because they needed the cages.

Yeah, I put the kids in cages.

Right.

So,

But you know Republicans in Congress standing by their man.

They are reaching Camille Cosby level of denial now

But yeah, the Republican Party so deathly quiet and perfectly still about all this you'd think Trump was fucking it

But

as the president's defenders point out very strongly, it's only a crime if you look in the book of things that are crimes

you know they got nothing that they're like a girlfriend who just brings up old shit you know you say you colluded with Russia and they're like yeah but Bill Clinton got a blowjob and you wore flip-flops on our first date

meanwhile Trump did you see this yes he did a hard-hitting interview on Fox News with Ainsley Earhart and just was free associating at lightning speed you'll never guess what he said it's a witch hunt and what about about Hillary's emails?

And what about the FBI's emails?

What about John Podeston?

What about that time Obama paid a fine?

Even Q was like, slow down, Fatty, you sound kind of crazy.

No, Ansley Anzar asked Trump, listen to this, she asked Trump where he was getting his legal expertise from.

Trump said, and I quote this verbatim, this is the President of the United States, said, said, I watch a number of shows.

Sometimes you get good information watching shows.

And the ads are good too.

I instructed Space Force today to start working on a walk-in tub.

He said, Trump said, quote, a lot of lawyers on television say they're not even crimes.

That was Giuliana, you imbecile.

You put him there.

What's your next argument?

Something you read in one of your own tweets?
