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

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
