| I want to leave a message to the prosecutor that he must call Smith to testify. If he doesn't, he will be lit up on the internet, talk radio, and documentary.
In particular, the object of this trial is not to pollute every possible jury in the United States that might be called in some subsequent trial of somebody else, just to throw mud at Hillary Clinton right now, in order to amuse a bunch of Freepers who (a) don't understand that this isn't the trial of Hillary Clinton, and (b) would rather have a bad headline now than Hillary Clinton's head on a stick later. Let the lawyers do their jobs. The last thing they need is a news story about Freepers lighting up the DOJ switchboard demanding that Gary Smith be called, and then have some reason come up why they actually have to call Gary Smith. |
No good lawyer is going to put anyone on the stand unless he knows in advance what the guy is going to say. The DOJ already knows what Gary Smith has to say, and they don't want him on the stand. They also don't want the tape in evidence. Yet no one thinks they are failing to prove that Rosen knew... which is the object of this trial.
