I thought D Pecker was just gonna fall asleep at de defense table.

All this fuss over a story that would have barely moved the needle if it had been released during the campaign.

People are pointing out that the DA only promised to give the name of the first witness to Trump. And now itā€™s public. How did that happen? What is Trump going post before tomorrow?

Probably? Maybe? Wasnā€™t the timing near the end of the campaign right after the ā€œgrab them by the ā€¦ā€ video came out? Might have reinforced it or kept it in the news longer.

If I were the DA and I didnā€™t want to reveal future witnesses to the defense I might leak the Pecker info myself. Everybody already knew he was going to be testifying and heā€™s situated where it wonā€™t impact his life very much, and now they can not reveal any more witnesses.

D pecker might have leaked.

Idk. They had no obligation to reveal the witnessesā€™ order of appearance in any case, so thereā€™s no need to play games. And anyone can be pressured. Even US senators were afraid for themselves and their families when they had a chance to convict Trump.

Looks like I can close this. Iā€™d have to believe that itā€™s a win for Team Yes.

Itā€™s hard for me to imagine a lot of Turmp voters getting super mad at his marital infidelity.

What prevents hostile witnesses from using the ā€œI donā€™t recallā€ when it comes to incriminating Trump during testimony?

I get the perjury aspect, but isnā€™t whatā€™s in a personā€™s memory a hard thing to prove?

Thatā€™s when you hit them with the ā€œhere is your deposition, please read for the court what you said about this.ā€

Yeah theyā€™re not trying to get new evidence from people on the stand. I believe trial attorneys try to never ask questions to which they donā€™t already have the answers.

Good ones do anyway, who knows what the clowns working for Trump might do.

I hear heā€™s a real dick.

Hopefully heā€™ll be able to get up in time to testify.

My understanding is that the attorneys he has working this case are the real deal. Not like Habba
