My theory is that Costello told him he could create a circus--and that is what the orange buffoon wanted before HE would testify. But the judge showed "No circus here" and only THEN did he finally decide to take the Fifth. By the way, I don't think the good lawyer was in on this scam. I bet it was Costello's idea.
Costello was the perfect mistake. Thanks DonCon.

It's actually not the 1st time (and Donald Trump is just a "Potential Candidate" and is not yet on the ballot. Indiana Senator Eugene V. Debs was a Presidential Candidate (on the ballot for the Socialist Party) for the 1920 Presidential election. He was serving a 10 years sentence in an Atlanta penitentiary and badly lost the 1920 presidential election. The Court in recognition that he was a Presidential Candidate allowed him to to get up to date news and political information and to hold a press conference every week. Note that the "Farmer-Labor Party Presidential Candidate was Parley Christensen, and the "Prohibition Party" Presidential Candidate was Aaron Watkins. Republican Senator Warren Harding of Ohio won the 1920 Presidential Election by defeating Ohio Democratic Governor James Cox.

He's a liar and a scoundrel, a cheat and a swindler. But remember: The Defendant insists that he _only hires the best people._ And he hired Michael Cohen. He hired Michael Cohen to be his muscle, to be his pusher, to _fix_ the problems caused by the Defendant's most scandalous behavior. Michael Cohen is indeed all of the things the Defense has said he is. But he was _also_ exactly the sort of man the Defendant needed to do the jobs the Defendant wanted done. Those are the very qualities that got Michael Cohen invited into the Defendant's inner circle in the first place. Without them, the Defendant had neither use or need of Michael Cohen's services." Of course, the Prosecution doesn't need to actually say this; The Jury is already well aware that this is the case. But it'll likely be said anyways, because it's true.

@@mitchhills4747 You clearly need to watch the video. He pointed out 3 potential categories but you 12 jurors to agree that it escalated to one of the 3.
A person who has non-stop been lying to people, repeatedly violated gag order from a judge, then refused to do the most important thing to prove his innocence, ie testify in front of juries...that would question his innocence from whatever angle we look at the court case !
An innocent defendant has no concerns for his defense. A guilty defendant is scared shitless and looks it.

But IF he's found guilty, he will immediately be taken down, pending sentence and then he will inevitably get a custodial sentence, so any appeal will need to be FROM PRISON. Cohen served 3 years for a lesser offence, so the Judge can't really hand down just a fine, as Trump was the instigator.
He walked away because he's a coward & a liar.
I love that Mr. Weissmann is a legal nerd for those of us who aren't lawyers.
I have no idea where the legal basis is that different jurors can agree that different crimes were committed but not be unanimous on a single crime. That sounds very unconstitutional!
