This is the Tom Hartman program.

I am joined today in the studio by my friend, colleague, and occasional Phil in host Jefferson

Smith. Pleasure to be here with you.

My hope is that twice as many of us isn't half as good.

I'll just try not to make it a much worse, but it's an honor to be here with you.

Hey, what do they say about synergy?

You know, the whole is greater than the sum of the

parts what to talk about let's start out Jeff with the trial you know the stormy

weather here I'm just looking at the the summary here over here on the guardian of you know who's been speaking

and it started out with Jenny Tomlin who works at Verizon basically I mean what they're trying to do is

I think set up credibility for Michael Cohen's testimony when it comes.

And then Madeline Westerhout, who worked outside of Trump's office,

Director of Olaf's operation, she's talking about how Trump micro manages everything.

And then the most recent one was Georgia Long Street, a paralegal with the Manhattan DA's office.

And they're talking to Jayden-Garmel Schneider who's also a paralegal with the

New York DA's office and again this is they're talking about reviewing data

from Michael Cohen's phones.

So it seems to me like all of this is an attempt to set up credibility for Michael Cohen

when he comes along because he's such a not credible witness.

I think it's a fundamental challenge, one of the fundamental

challenges in the trial, right, is that you're, what the defense lawyer wants to do,

formerly from Cadwalder, formerly of Wilmer Hale, formerly sort of big law firms.
