[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When does Trump testify?[/quote]

The defense cannot afford to let Trump testify.  First, he has no filter between his brain and his mouth.  If he thinks it, he will say it and he would just blurt out many things that would incriminate him.  Just look at his "closing statement" the last time he testified and you'll see exactly why the defense cannot afford to let this man open his mouth under oath.

Second, if he testifies, then the prosecution will be able to cross-examine him.  He will be asked many, many, many things that he would need to plead the 5th amendment on.  And when almost every answer from him about anything other than what color bronzer he uses is answered with a 5th amendment statement, how do you think that will make him look in front of the jury?

Last, he has nothing to add that can possibly get him acquitted.  The only defense they have so far is that the financial fraud that he is accused of didn't happen and was all manufactured by Michael Cohen who lies, so you cannot believe anything he says.  They have no other refutation of the accusations and the documentation of the fraud that has been proven.

The defense has nothing to gain and everything to lose if they let Trump testify.[/quote]
And lucky for the defense, Trump’s cognitive abilities have declined precipitously in the the last few years and he can’t be goaded into testifying as easily as I think the internet could have done a few years ago. [/quote]
