Melber showed footage of Trump on a plane being asked by reporters whether he knew about the payments. Trump claimed he didn't, and Tacopina said that the comment wasn't a lie.

"That's not a lie?!" Melber exclaimed.

"That's not a lie," said Tacopina.

Melber began reading the transcript of the clip when Tacopina tried to grab the paper from the host.

"Give me that!" the lawyer said.

1. That was really weird,

but then again, Tacopina is really weird.

2. Astounding that any lawyer would still work for IQ45 at this point

You really gotta be the bottom of the barrel, I'll leave it at.

7. This guy is actually pretty good.

He began his career as a prosecutor in Brooklyn, where he won 39 of 40 trials he led. After moving to private practice, he became known as an advocate for high-profile clients in high-profile cases.[6] Tacopina clients have included New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez,[7] Joran van der Sloot,[8] who was the suspect in the mysterious disappearance of Natalee Holloway;[9] an American high schooler in Aruba, Melanie McGuire; Michael Jackson,[10] Italian sailor Chico Forti,[11] actor Lillo Brancato,[12] Fox News host Sean Hannity, New York state senator Hiram Monserrate[13] and Kimberly Guilfoyle.[14] He has also represented NFL team Washington Commanders and team owner Daniel Snyder[15]

Tacopina was instrumental in helping to vindicate client Meek Mill.[16] Mill's case sparked a national debate on criminal justice reform. Jay-Z, another Tacopina client, voiced his thoughts on the unjust system that seemingly targets minorities by keeping them in legal limbo.[citation needed]

6. Have seen quite a few folks here express they don't like Ari...

Because he occasionally gives voice to the knuckledraggers... but he does his homework and often gets them to step in the bucket.

9. It can be maddening watching these guys on Ari, but you have to hang around to watch

The payback.

Other people don't like him because of the hip hop stuff, he knows his stuff about that too.

[Cheezoholic]

11. Yeah, that irritates the hell outta me

those "other people" who say that about his Hip Hop references that is.

[Generic Brad]

12. Ari positions the rakes just so

Then the right wing obliviously steps on them for a good old fashioned self inflicted face smacking.

[Sky Jewels]

10. When he's in the courtroom does he put his fingers in his ears and

shout at the judge "LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!" ?

[grantcart]

13. No when the DA enters video from the Bank's cameras showing his client with a gun pointed at teller

He yells "objection, we don't need that".

[dchill]

14. OWN!

[republianmushroom]

15. there isn't going to be enough popcorn.

[VGNonly]

16. Surprised he didn't grab

the paper and chew it into little bits.

[Thunderbeast]

17. This guy is a characature of a mob lawyer.

But...He realey is a mob lawyer.
