Dear Baby Jesus, please make it so... Trump says he will testify
If there is a God, he will let this come to pass.
I really really really want this to be true. In the NY Times there is an article that says that Trump is going to take the stand.
This would be so fucking epic, that I can hardly contain my glee. Look, I know that his attorneys are all aghast that this might come to pass, because the man cannot behave himself, and it is 100% certain that the Honorable Juan Merchan will not give him freedom to free-range it.
But while I am sure his legal team will coach him, I am also certain that he is un-coachable, and will go off the reservation.
And that would be the direct.
Of course, if he does get on the stand, he will also have to sit for the cross examination. And it is not at all likely that his defense team could undo the damage in the redirect.
And that is where the shit will hit the fan (for him that is, for us, we will all be ODing on popcorn).
Mr. Trump will most likely wait to see whether the prosecution presents a strong case — and whether the judge presiding over the trial plans to restrict prosecutors’ efforts to cross-examine him, according to people with knowledge of his planning.
Uh, yeah, the judge will not inhibit the prosecutors questioning. In fact, it is almost certain that he will open his piehole and say something that will make his defense counsel cringe, opening the door for some of the most painful cross examination that will go so far off the rails.
Delish.
I’m going to say not a chance, so I can be so overjoyed if it happens.
See Caine Mutiny for cinematic parallel.
I'll believe it when I see it. And then I'll laugh my ass off, because that mofo is his own perjury trap.
