The Beat Ari Melber



Ari is populating his show with a contrast of Rule of Law people and Trumpers, apparently in an effort to wake people up. I'm just not sure if giving these die-hard Trump loyalists more air time will do anything other than encourage them, and convert more of the weak-minded.

looked for a permanent host. Ali is one smart cookie & can spout off numbers and amounts yu wouldn't believe...he's a financial person.

I find Ari a bit irritating. But he's okay, and has good guests.

Maddow is the best, of course. If I want to understand something, Maddow is the one who can 'splain it to me like I'm a 4 year old. She's also the best at connecting the dots & presenting the picture in a way an ordinary person can understand. Nothing gets by her. Love her.

I was thinking maybe one reason is to slow down the process. They would be able to petition the courts for more time with a new legal team. Just a thought. I learn most of my legal expertise from TV and movies. Ha!

Cohen and that one reason he may be switching lawyers is that he is waiting to see what he is going to specifically be charged with. He will hire a new team that specializes in that kind of crime when he finds out what it is. Rachel Maddow's guest lawyer told her that it will cost Cohen MORE money to switch since the team he had already went through a ton of papers and it takes a lot of time. If he hires a new team they will have to start from scratch and go through everything again to get caught up. I guess everyone has a theory.
