so while we wait, let's bring in chief legal affairs correspondent paula reid and with us also as cnn national correspondent, kristen holmes ladies, i was just in the courtroom not that long ago listening to the vast majority of blanche's summations. and as a good defense attorney might do, the main thing that he was trying to accomplish was just the state of the jury. you don't have to overthink this. this is really easy. you've got a liar on the stand. all of this is hinging on his word. and that's it. i mean it struck me that there wasn't an attempt to create some kind of smoking gun. the main thing was just to tell the jury, don't overthink it. it's right in front of your eyes? michael cohen as a liar, it took them a long time to get there though. i mean, as we laid out in our reporting before court started today, we expect that he was going to argue that the documents here there allegedly falsified or not false because michael cohen was working as an attorney. that's what he hit right off the bat. then at the end, he did really start to hammer, specifically michael cohen's credib
