Description

As the only witness of consequence, Donald Trump's lawyers called Robert Costello to testify in Trump's defense. And if it wasn't bad enough that Judge Juan Merchan had to clear the courtroom for Costello's "contemptuous" behavior, the cross-examination of Costello (including with his own emails) also proved to be devastating to Donald Trump's defense.Glenn discusses why most experienced criminal litigators know - it's really much better to put NO witnesses on the stand than to put on a weak or damaging witness in the case.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner  If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
