Trump is now being asked whether the valuations of a number of his properties are accurate.
Instead of answering yes or no, Trump is giving speeches about how and why he invested in various properties.
Again the judge asks Trump’s legal team to stop the speeches.
“I beseech you to control him if you can. If you can’t, I will,” Judge Engoron says.
And it’s done.
Wait, his OWN TEAM didn’t have questions for him, their own client? It’s a civil trial, they could have asked him anything, he could have had the whole court room listening to aIl the stupid bullshit he was trying to say in answer to the state. No questions?
I… can’t fathom taking the stand in your own defense and then not having any questions from your own attorneys. How about: “did you do it?” “No, I did not.” Or “why is the da trying to railroad you.” “Magamagamaga”.
No questions is unfathomable.
His legal team is all to well aware that Trump under oath is a ticking time bomb. He’s got not verbal control what so ever and liable to admit to wrong doing as a casual boast.
Thank you for your work.
Can I send you some popcorn or are you kinda sick of it now?
I’m good, but thanks for the offer. :)
Is it normal for the defendant’s lawyers to not cross-examine him if he takes the stand?
Would you let this idiot utter another word under oath if you were his lawyer?
No, if they’re allowed on the stand usually their own counsel would have them longer than opposing so they can try to control narrative.
Thanks. That’s what I thought.
