MSNBC hosts Andrea Mitchell and Chris Jansing appeared concerned Thursday that jurors won’t convict 2024 presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and “take away” his “chance to be president.”

During the testimony of Michael Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, and days after pornographic actress Stormy Daniels took the stand in Trump’s Manhattan trial, Mitchel and Jansing appeared to be worried about “human instinct” interfering in a guilty verdict.

“With the persecution having to prove this beyond a reasonable doubt, there’s a human instinct to also look at this man who’s a former president and a potential future president and ask yourself as a juror, ‘Is, are the issues here so important?'” Mitchell said.

“And, you know, it was an important violation of the law, but when you look at the actual facts of the case, does it seem unlike some of the other indictments like classified documents, Jan. 6 and the others. Does it all get back to is this such a big deal that we should take away his chance to be president?” Mitchell asked.

“You know, if one believes that’s his right, of course, and that he’s the candidate and the presumptive nominee. And if you convict him, that could change his whole life and change the life of the country,” she continued. “I mean, there, there could be a juror on there that’s thinking that way.”

Jansing said that Trump’s defense team only needs “one juror” to avoid conviction of the former president. She said there’s a “broad feeling” among most jurors that they “want to do the right thing” before adding that their human instinct may conflict with their final decision.

“Everywhere I go, this is all people want to talk about. And they were talking about the fact that most jurors and I think, I think there’s a broad feeling that most jurors go in there, they want to do the right thing. They’re gonna follow the instruction that the judge gives them. But they’re human, and you can’t separate your life experience. Uh, you can’t separate the thoughts that are in your head all the time.”

Trump faces 34 criminal charges brought by New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg regarding alleged falsified business records relating to a payment for a nondisclosure agreement with Daniels.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
