i went back to the live RSBN feed.
Anna Cross called Gov. Roy Barnes to testify on behalf of the prosecution (Willis).
At about 11:04 EST (about 2:02:50 in the RSBN video), Steve Sadow cross examined Barnes, and that is when Barnes first casually mentioned DiSantis in a response. Sadow picked up on it and asked a followup about DiSantis.
the name “jeff disantis” does not (yet) seem to be coming up in a google news web search.
it would be interesting if disantis were to be called to the witness stand as a hostile witness by someone on the defense team (could this, at least in theory, be requested?).
Barnes noted in his testimony that DiSantis generally worked for the campaigns of Democratic candidates other than his own. There did not seem to be much love lost between Barnes and DiSantis. I imagine that Barnes knew exactly what he was doing when he dropped DiSantis’ name. Could Cross calling Barnes have been a tactical error?
I’m not certain that Barnes noted that DiSantis was in the courtroom at the time of his testimony (did he? if so, I missed it).
IIRC, Barnes seemed to imply that DiSantis was involved in vetting the special prosecutor candidates.
If so, perhaps this constitutes “opening a door” to defense calling DiSantis to the stand to ask just what his role in the prosecution is, given that on paper he works in the DA’s media office...
(Standard Disclaimer...)
Anna Cross really screwed up and calling ex Gov Roy Barnes was a huge mistake.
He personally fingered Jeff DiSantis as being one of Fani’s plotters of the RICO sham and Jeff DiSanits is the conduit directly into the Biden Admin.
Big mistake and Barnes seemed to realize it after Sadow followed up with him and Barnes tried to clean it up but failed. .
