    So much to say in the hallway and on social media, but not under oath. Speaks volumes.
  • @betha8761
    Costello was the perfect mistake. Thanks DonCon.
  • @klhaldane
    THANK YOU for referring to him as "Defendant Trump". It's amazing how many commentators cannot get that right.
  • Oh, I'm once again shocked. He never passed up an opportunity to speak - except when facts actually matter!!!
  • @KittyS-gg5gd
    He CHOSE to be silent! He was NOT gagged or prevented from testifying!
  • @sullyh4040
    Heaven forbid he say anything about his "innocence" under oath
  • Costello was a terrible witness, but let's be clear, defendant Trump would have been much, much worse.
  • What happened trump said he would testify and had every opportunity to do so but he blames the judge and Biden and the Dems
  • @Sendu7
    He is constantly claiming that he is innocent, until he gets the opportunity to say it under oath.
  • @JaredMerlin
    He's gunna throw a fit if they escort him out of the courtroom in handcuffs, taking him into custody. I would give almost anything to see that happen.
  • @garypeters3295
    Can't wait to hear..." We find the defendant, Donald J. Trump, guilty..."
  • @aaronteston2606
    I am so grateful for Mr Weissman’s explanation. Thank you , sir.
  • @danielroque8504
    They dont allow me too speak~~the stand is all yours.....crickets~
  • @billnroger
    Judge Merchan has been a miraculous representation of our Judicial System and how important it is to our democracy!
  • @Lauren_1987
    Thanks for having Mr Weissman on your program. Two of my favorite lawyers who report the facts accurately. Facts matter.
