Everyone has the right to invoke constitutional protections against self-incrimination for criminal cases. But here's why Donald Trump shouldn’t expect those protections when he faces a civil jury this fall. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)

But what we have is more than just video evidence of the former president effectively conceding in a legal proceeding that he might have violated the law. As Harry Litman pointed out on the show Tuesday, we saw evidence that the jury in Trump’s civil trial, set for October, can see too.

But why can invoking the Fifth Amendment be used against someone in a civil case but not in a criminal case?, which states that a person can’t be “compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.”the Supreme Court observed that in criminal cases, “the stakes are higher and the State’s sole interest is to convict.

= FakeNews!

Among total viewers, Fox News dominated prime time with 2.262 million viewers, followed by MSNBC (1.165 million viewers) and CNN (587,000 viewers). All of the networks saw year-over-year declines, with CNN down the most at 24%.

Your extreme bias is showing again

There is no way they can allow him near a witness stand.

I love how the liberal media always forgets about Tara Reade.

So, everyone except Donald Trump should have the right to invoke constitutional protections against self-incrimination for criminal cases? Seems totally constitutional.

Well Joe has us in recession sky high inflation economy&crime off charts. Joes declining fast & USA declining faster under his WOKE policies. Joe has the LAUNCH CODES scary ain’t it. Russia invades Ukraine China gonna invade Taiwan N Korea &S Korea. Our country is very vulnerable

Meantime, OUR SMALL BANKS ARE GOING BELLY UP AND China is taking over.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

Just to be clear… you’re saying why he’s not being protected in civil court? Civil court cannot arrest anyone lol. This is your big hope?

Lolol. Civil?

no one really cares

Donald trump is entitled to the same rights + protections as any other citizen wether democrats or the media like it or not

Did just say that Donald Trump shouldn't be allowed to same rights as everyone else?

MSNBC looking for more ratings cash. Amazing how much their paychecks are dependent on one man. My opinion

I love watching MSNBC ratings continually dropping...Wonder if it is from zero Journalistic Integrity?

What about this BS?!? 👇🏼

Trump won!

Because he is a republican

IndictTrumpNow

FJBiden !

MSNBC is a joke.

Biden will be pleading the fifth soon

The residents of New York want that orange monkey

Nice pic, those are seriously small hands lol

HE'LL FACE NO JURY, BUT SOME OTHERS WILL BE FACING MILITARY TRIBUNALS.

The nonstop false attacks from the dem left against thisman who did and tried to denoting but good fir the country because they view him as a threat to their demoralizing, debased, ungodly agenda.

MSNBC (just like CNN.) couldn't make it without Trump.

Trump has gone off the rails!!

🥱🥱🥱

Joe did too so shut up !

Democrats changing laws. Only way. Stealing Elections Is the way for Democrats. They must maintain their Pedophile base.

Unless Americans indict the criminally corrupt, treasonous Trump, his morally and patriotically bankrupt GOP and Fox co-conspirators, his domestic and foreign colluders and those in contempt of Congress nothing can prevent America and democracy from dying.

Trump is the Best Trump all the way

Waiting for a prosecutor, ANY prosecutor, to indict Trump for crimes, is like waiting for Godot to show up. He never does, &they never do. There's a criminal justice system for the vast majority that indicts, & a different one for Trump that ensures he goes scot free, unindicted

Still beating that dead horse 🐎

Why all the worry about Trump? Your people are mindless? Trump derangement syndrome has got you all! You need to worry more about your current and horrible President, come on man, get realistic! Damn he is head of the Biden Crime Family, haven’t you heard this yet?

TrumpIsGuilty

Democrats dont think donald trump should have any constitutional rights every day democrats go out of their to prove they are the communist fascist we already know they are

Hi everyone we know our guy isn’t doing so hot and here’s why Trump isn’t either. MSNBC is a joke. Find someone else to talk about. You act like a spurned lover it’s getting pathetic.

Great use everything against him!!

No you lying sacks are still wrong

LOOK at the bots..

PMSNBC is eaten up with TDS.

You use fake reporting to smear him. That’s no secret.

So everyone but him, got it.

Trump isn't going to face anything why don't you report on the invasion of China and the compromised Biden crime family BidenCrimeFamilyExposed ChinaSpyBalloon fakenews

I do not turn on MSNBC to be bombarded with more video of ridiculous things Trump and his followers are saying. Summarize it for information, but please stop adding to the media hype he gets off on

And they can't control what you think as a juror. In a criminal case, I'd hold the Fifth against Trump. That's just the part you don't say out loud, citing other rationale instead.

merci monsieur Trump et la société doit toujours faire appel a la médecine pour ce qui est des décisions politique psychiatrique névrotique paranoïaque rationnelle juste et légitime ca nous éviterai des génocides des guerres bet de la misère humaine

Umm it's a civil case. Who cares? Civil cases don't result in criminal charges. At most he gets a fine and goes on about his day. Big deal.

Extremist Biden is paying back the CCP for the millions his family has received by allowing China to fly spy missions over the US.

en dehors ses principes ceste la bondérisation de la société qui devient amazonien et sa jungle la loi du plus fort et ses temps ci la loi du plus armée définition de anarchie c est état de non droit on dit quand anarchie règne on peut parler du droit de l'anarchie

MSNBC loves Donald Trump more than anyone or anything. He's the only thing keeping them clinging to life.

Massive explosion over Billings Montana 15 minutes ago

The 51 intelligence liars committed election interference. They said the crack head's laptop was Russian disinformation.

Hang on. Are you saying that pleading the Fifth is conceding that you might have broken the law? Because I’ll have to consult BadLegalTakes for that one. I was under the impression that the Fifth simply meant anything you say can be used against you by prosecutors.

It's taking too long for justice

Yea, this is going to be a fair trial let me tell ya....trump in a democrat court with what will be for sure 12 democrat jurers

He's so BUSTED! 🤣🍿

In a civil case as such he did more harm to himself!!

I think once you plead the 5th, you should have to provide a full and complete truthful answer to the question since the answer can't be used against you.

Moral turpitude,treason are the track record of republicans.Also describing Santos . The one who incriminated himself then got the vote. Disbarment of counsel should happen. He's a national security threat. That maybe will take the stand on what he witnessed inside experience.
