| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Dursho. We're on indictment watch. As you remember, I predicted it wouldn't |
| 0:08.8 | be Tuesday, largely because I don't think this or get any brag would want to allow Trump's |
| 0:17.0 | prediction of Tuesday to come true. And then, you know, I think a snag really occurred |
| 0:24.0 | when Bob Costello essentially burst into the grand jury room. He wasn't invited. They |
| 0:29.9 | didn't want him to come. He insisted and they really had to give him an indictment. |
| 0:36.8 | He gave some very, very, very, very damning testimony about Attorney Cohen that, you know, |
| 0:44.6 | they had met that he was one of his legal advisors and that he told him that he would lie |
| 0:52.0 | that Trump didn't have anything to do with the payment of money that that was done up |
| 0:57.2 | purely by Cohen to avoid embarrassment to Trump's family and to try to get him in Trump's |

| 1:30.0 | we'll see what happens now. I don't know why he sent them home. It could be that he's |
| 1:36.6 | having second thoughts. He now knows that he has really three choices. He can put on |
| 1:42.0 | Cohen as a witness and that will devastate his case, make his prosecutor seem incredible, |
| 1:48.8 | probably his local prosecutors, trial lawyers are pushing back a little bit and are saying, |
| 1:53.6 | wait a minute, we really have to call Cohen as a witness. We will be laughed at and we |
| 2:00.1 | will be condemned and our credibility will be destroyed in front of the, in front of |
| 2:04.8 | the petty jury. Do we really have to do that? So one option is to do it and to encourage |
| 2:12.0 | the wrath of so many people and to be made to look noncredible. The second alternative |
| 2:19.5 | is to try to make the case without Cohen. You can do it. You can bring on the former |
