i want to bring back former fbi general counsel andrew weissmann and jessica levenson. andrew, we are talking about hulk hogan and sheen and privileged communications and what is attorney/client privilege with this. bring us up to the importance of all of this from the defense's perspective. >> what yasmin reported that is going on right now in the courtroom and will go on until about 1:00 when they break for lunch is fascinating. this is why. a normal defense cross of this witness would really just start and end with the fact that this witness has no direct dealings with donald trump. everything that he knows is through other people, primarily michael cohen. what davidson testified to on direct examination is so corroborated in documents, texts, emails that it was remarkable to me sitting in the courtroom today just how much the prosecutor was tieing him to specific documents that make it absolutely incontrovertible. they are attacking him in terms of his credibility instead of saying, you don't know anything about my client. you wonder what's up here. the answer may b
