During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday, a laughing former Southern District of New York prosecutor claimed that any advantage Donald Trump might have gained from one of his expert defense witnesses in his $250 million criminal fraud trial likely went out the window when the witness admitted how much he was paid.

Speaking with host Alex Witt, ex-prosecutor Kristy Greenberg claimed it was a "one hundred percent" certainty the money was wasted.

Pointing to New York University accounting professor Eli Bartov telling the court he billed the former president and his PAC $1,350 an hour for his time and testimony — and worked a total of 650 hours making his fee close to $900,000 — Greenberg said that would make it easy for Judge Arthur Engoron to dismiss what he had to say.

"It is interesting, he [Bartov] says he spent 650 hours on this," Greenberg began as she burst into laughter. "You wonder what he is actually looking at over that time. To be fair, to compare, the prosecution witness was paid about $350,000 — he [Bartov] has been paid more than double."

"Here is the other thing to think about: that much money!" host Witt exclaimed. "Is it going to undermine his credibility at all? Like you were paid and, dot, dot, dot."

"One hundred percent!" Greenberg quickly shot back before explaining, "This is a bench trial, you have a judge here, not a jury. The judge is smart, he understands what was happening here. He [Bartov]was paid a handsome sum and he said what Trump wanted him to say."

According to former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner, Judge Tanya Chutkan absolutely nailed it when she denied Donald Trump's motion to dismiss his indictment related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election results on presidential immunity and constitutional grounds.

Chutkan came down firmly against the former president and his lawyer's contention made in claims that presidents have absolute immunity from prosecution for acts they believe fall within their official responsibilities and duties and, secondarily, that the indictment violated the former president's First Amendment rights.

In a video he posted to YouTube, an incensed Kirschner claimed what the former president was asking, in a broader sense, is immunity for any crimes he has been accused of committing.

Noting that Trump was attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, Kirschner explained, that Trump is trying to get a "get out of jail free card" from Judge Chutkan or the Appeals Court, which led him to blurt, "That ain't America."

As for Trump's attempt to get a stay on the D.C. trial that is now under consideration, while claiming he doesn't have to listen to Judge Chutkan in the interim, Kirschner warned, "This is dangerous. Danger dead-ahead. This is Donald Trump testing the waters, you know, sort of trying to test out his ability to ignore Judge Chutkan's rulings, to ignore the courts altogether. Because the courts are the greatest danger to Donald Trump's power."
