      My theory is that Costello told him he could create a circus--and that is what the orange buffoon wanted before HE would testify. But the judge showed "No circus here" and only THEN did he finally decide to take the Fifth.
      By the way, I don't think the good lawyer was in on this scam. I bet it was Costello's idea.

      It's actually not the 1st time (and Donald Trump is just a "Potential Candidate" and is not yet on the ballot.
      Indiana Senator Eugene V. Debs was a Presidential Candidate (on the ballot for the Socialist Party) for the 1920 Presidential election. He was serving a 10 years sentence in an Atlanta penitentiary and badly lost the 1920 presidential election.
      The Court in recognition that he was a Presidential Candidate allowed him to to get up to date news and political information and to hold a press conference every week.
      Note that the "Farmer-Labor Party Presidential Candidate was Parley Christensen, and the "Prohibition Party" Presidential Candidate was Aaron Watkins.
      Republican Senator Warren Harding of Ohio won the 1920 Presidential Election by defeating Ohio Democratic Governor James Cox.

      He hasn't once claimed he was innocent. He's said the whole world is against him, biden, ag, doj, merchan, the jury, etc, etc. Everyone is lying, everybody is a political operative, blah, blah, blah.
      But to my knowledge, he has never actually said "I didn't pay cohen $420,000.00 as part of a scheme to buy the silence of stormy daniels from october 2016 to jan 2017 and then attempt to obscure those payments by reporting it as income instead of what it was."

      @@kelperdude Consider this coming from the Prosecution:
      "Ladies and gentlemen of the Jury, the Defense has made a clear case that Michael Cohen isn't a good person. He's a liar and a scoundrel, a cheat and a swindler. But remember: The Defendant insists that he _only hires the best people._ And he hired Michael Cohen. He hired Michael Cohen to be his muscle, to be his pusher, to _fix_ the problems caused by the Defendant's most scandalous behavior. Michael Cohen is indeed all of the things the Defense has said he is. But he was _also_ exactly the sort of man the Defendant needed to do the jobs the Defendant wanted done. Those are the very qualities that got Michael Cohen invited into the Defendant's inner circle in the first place. Without them, the Defendant had neither use or need of Michael Cohen's services."
      Of course, the Prosecution doesn't need to actually say this; The Jury is already well aware that this is the case. But it'll likely be said anyways, because it's true.

    The real disaster of Costello's testimony is twofold: first, his behavior was bad enough that it prompted the judge to clear the courtroom for the purpose of reaming him out. There are two attorneys on the jury; it seems likely that when Costello's testimony is reviewed during deliberation, it won't be in a favorable light. Costello only succeeded in making Cohen look better, if only by comparison.
    More importantly - by failing to offer any reasonable counter to Cohen's testimony, the defense has ensured that his statements are not contested. Given the content of that testimony, this is a huge risk by Blanche et al. They seem to have fallen back on a defense that claims the prosecution has failed to make its case. Personally, I suspect that in the face of the documentary evidence coupled with the testimony throughout, Trump is likely to be found guilty on most or all of the charges against him.
    But it gets worse. The tactics used by the defense in admission of evidence were designed to bog down the trial. Unfortunately, those tactics are going to make it very difficult to appeal a guilty verdict.

    He can stand up to Hillary which according to GENERALS, is the bravest thing they ever witnessed, but standing up for yourself and tesitfying? Where is that bravery now?

      @@ritagreene8376 Don't honor McBonespurs with the rank of Corporal. Real corporals, actually serve their country in uniform, when their country called on them to do their duty. Trump wimped out when his father cooked up those phony bone spurs scam with a paid for doctor, so Trump could hide from doing his duty.

      Biden is mentally incapable. I find it sad the democrats don’t have someone else. If Trump makes it to the election he will win because the democrats are selfish by running man who they can control. The man cannot put together a sentence. If they ran someone else the democrats would win.
