Summary

Trump’s rusty lawyer Todd Blanche almost CAUSED A MISTRIAL during his closing argument, causing the trial judge to instruct the jury to disregard parts of his argument. Michael Popok a long-time NY trial lawyer analyzes Blanche’s disjointed mess of a closing where if he wasn’t using inappropriate sports metaphors that were confusing to the jury, he was admitting Trump‘s criminal, intent, and involvement, and making payments to Michael Cohen as part of the very conspiracy that is at the heart of the prosecution!
