We're missing a little piece...Cohen called Shiller at 8:02 per Shiller's direction. That call ended. At 8:04, Cohen texted the number of the 14 year old to Cohen.

Cohen said he knew Shiller was with Trump. He's always nearby...that's his job....but not necessarily within arm's reach as Cohen implies.

*;02..the 14 yar old 8:04....the 14 yr old....

There is no Trump in between.

Trump's attorneys did a good job flushing that out.

I didn’t watch the committee hearings but someone posted a YouTube of Costello basically giving a Presser for a good amount of time that covered all the bases. If you can’t find it let me know and I’ll try to find it. It was on the live thread for the New York hearing yesterday

Thank you. I’m pretty good at tracking down stuff like this, and I’ll try to do it myself when I get time.

I’m co-executor of my Mom’s Will. Today I think I’ll be able to wrap up the last of the tasks and will have more time for other things.

What I saw of Costello — clips they showed on War Room — I was in love.

From other clips: Stefanik was very good. That black chick whose name sign says she’s Ranking Member ... OMG. She criticized Trump’s “SINK-o-phants”. The black RAT women there are as dumb as stumps, and they don’t even know it. Added to that is their arrogance. It’s shameful!

I’m sure you’re quite relieved to have the executor duties behind you. My sister handled that for my dad to my great relief. The rest of your post made me LOL. We can see the common theme that the enemy that’s rearing its ugly head tends to be black. Now obviously that does not mean all black people are the enemy by any stretch but look at the ones going after Trump like Leticia james, Alvin bragg, Fanny Willis. And of course I could go on

LOVE how Todd Blanch is ALWAYS standing right at Trump’s side, when Trump makes his statements at the court. 🥰

With the totally serious look on his face - showing he’s 100% furious with this “trial.” 😤

Blanch is sooooo good. He is dramatic...but that's what gets the juries attention.

It appears that this jury is great with the pan faces.

But when the Shiller "lie" was out...they looked at each other. I hope the judge saw them "lose it". He has to make a choice soon..If he acquits...the Dems will go nuts. If he deems Trump guilty...he's just setting it up for appeal...and putting off any resolve till later. Hmmmm.....what to do. He MUST let it go to the jury....imho

Why even have a court.

Why not dispense with the formality when the conlusion is known?

Merchan has already ruled out the FEC and SDNY testifying that what Trump did wasn’t illegal.

Never heard such a thing that a judge can decide who a defense team can bring in as a witness. When Mark Fuhrman testified in the OJ trial and F Lee Bailey asked him if he ever used the N word in the last 10 yrs and said no..they brought in someone who had the tapes of him saying it..Judge Ito didnt say “Oh you are not allowed to bring her in” they can bring in circus clowns its none of the judges business

Both defense and prosecution can object to any evidence or witness. The Judge is the decider, though he must decide based on solid legal precedent or law. If the Judge suppresses legitimate evidence or testimony, he opens the door to appeal. The same is true if he allows illegitimate evidence/testimony.
