I think he wanted to leverage Obama to keep him in office so he could finish the job and get me after investing five years And he came up with nothing. That's why they invented the crimes from those conversations. And if anybody doubts this, and I fully understand why people would, the question I'd ask people is, well, you tell me what side is lying.
The side that refuses to play 98% of the tapes that they made or the guy that's saying, play them all, warts and all. There's unflattering calls where I say stupid things or, you know, I'm angry or whatever the case may be or I'm using profanity. They replayed those. But play those tapes. What are you hiding? The side that's hiding is the side that's lying. And they're hiding it to this day.

They covered up all those tapes. They wouldn't even let me play them in court in the second trial, even though they promised that I would, could play them if I testified at the second trial. And so I got up on the stand, Joe, and the judge had promised on the 20th of May, 2011, I thought this was the day I'd be vindicated.

He said, look, if he agrees to testify, he can play the tapes to corroborate his testimony. Because I was a lawyer and I was also a prosecutor at the state level, Cook County prosecutor.

And I know how the system works and I know that if you get up there and you're saying certain things and one side has tapes of you saying something and you're saying stuff but you don't have tapes to corroborate what you're saying, the prosecutor is going to simply tell the jury in closing argument.

Go back to the jury room and see how many times you hear what he testified to corroborated by those tapes. And if you don't find any tapes, then you know who's lying. I knew this. But when the judge said I can do it on the record, I felt beautiful. I'll testify. And then we'll play the tapes to back up my testimony. So I get up there. I testify.

Then when it's time to play the tapes, the judge won't allow them. It was a setup. And then the prosecutor does exactly what I knew they would do if those tapes weren't heard. He says, go back into the jury room and see how many times he talked about it. The Madigan deal, because that was the big deal I was about to make before they arrested me.

You won't hear a single tape, even though there were 102 conversations on that subject. They were all covered up and the jury didn't know those tapes existed. It was a total fucking frame up in a rigged criminal justice system in a court that was rigged. And that's today's America. And why? What happened to Trump is so important.
