why michael cohen was there. what really surprised me is when the cross started this afternoon, donald trump had this demeanor of where he was closing his eyes again for sustained periods of time. he wasn't always watching the witness stand, i believe only once or twice because he's seen kinda looking over because he has to lean over to actually see the witness and that's not the way anyone expected him to be engaged. i think, especially as it was his attorneys time to grill michael cohen when stormy daniels was getting crossed examined, he was paying quite close attention. it was not the same way today, which stood out to me given of course, his hatred for michael cohen is much higher even than stormy daniels, elie, how do you think todd blanche did? i mean, he is actually not an experienced trial attorney. well, he's experienced trial attorney on the prosecution, sayyed, but defending is very different. and by the way, prosecutors are not very experienced at cross plus examination. i'm just going to say candidl
