Witness for the Bigly Prosecution

 

And so with Michael Cohen the prosecution's case will close by a lot.  It appears that Trump told Cohen that if his wife found out about Stormy Daniels he "wouldn't be on the market for very long" which kills off part of Donald's defense that the hush money payments were not about influencing the election but just a husband trying to prevent himself from the ire of an angry wife - who continues to seem conspicuous by her absence.  Meanwhile Story Daniels assured prosecutors that her affair with Trump like the sex in her videos was "very much real".  The prosecution is getting ready to rest their case having cut down the number of witnesses as it already feels it has proven enough... soon it will be closing arguments and then....?  I saw on Newsnight they interviewed Mike Davis from the GOP who said that the gag order prevented Trump from making his case as he has to follow procedures and the gag order and shut up.  This is not quite true though... if Trump wants to make his case he easily can by taking the stand.  But he prefers to get his mates to coagulate outside the court house saying the things he would like to say but is prevented from by the gag order.  Davis (standing in front of the background for the the Article 3 Project with its sinister slogan "A3P brings brass knuckles to fight leftist lawfare" see here) appeared to run rings around the Kirsty Wark promoting such whoppers as "you don't gag criminal defendants in America" when it's standard practice in cases of intimidation...  Perhaps the presenters don't feel the need to challenge the statements of the interviewees on the basis of truth in the post truth world?  Novel.
