for michael cohen to robert castillo to rudy giuliani to donald trump in the white house. michael cohen wanted to be able to talk to his own defense lawyer without necessarily telling rudy giuliani and donald trump everything he told his lawyer. in an email to michael cohen, trying to convince him to maintain that back channel of communication, robert castillo wrote "you are loved," with the champion oddity of the word loved being in quotation marks. one of those odd uses of quotation marks you see from donald trump tweets and posts. "what did you understand mr. costello to mean by you are loved, by whom? >> by president trump." that is what michael cohen wanted. donald trump's respect, admiration, his love, but then, he probably knew that donald trump is incapable of love and luckily for michael cohen, his family was capable of love, even after the horror they experience of an fbi raid in their family home. his wife and his daughter, in college, and his son, in high school, did an intervention. he testified that it was a conversation with his family that made him decide t

i want to read another email that came out with robert castillo today toward the end because it is maybe the worst example of how costello was seeking to advance donald trump's interests and not michael cohen's, as he swore. at one point he writes to his partner who had the relationship with cohen and says tune into cnn and see how they are playing this up. cohen has to know this and yet he continues to so play -- to slope laos and the president. is he totally nuts? what should i say? he is playing with the most powerful man on the planet and despite that he did not mean to him, he meant donald trump. >> what should -- the story cohen is telling is, you are donald trump student you are there to get me and he is writing this. do you, what did you think of the cross of costello? >> i first want to give some props to the sketch artist who was in court the cop that moment we just had up. the stare down where the judge is like, whoa. >> it is good, you're right. >> definitely. so what did i think of the cross examination today when the government got back up? i thought it was incredible. i me

when robert castillo got on the stand, he claimed michael cohen's word to him that he had nothing on donald trump and he refuted the prosecution's claims that robert costello had tried to represent michael cohen to keep him in donald trump's fold as part of a pressure campaign. michael cohen went with a different lawyer, but still low said he always -- costello always said -- said he always had michael cohen's interest at hand, not trump's. but when the prosecution objected numerous times and the judge sustained those objections, robert costello remarked "geez" in exasperation, and the judge was extremely angry, reminding him he need to follow proper decorum. at that point, the judge got even angrier, saying robert costello was staring him down. we could see, watching from the overflow room, all of this happening. the judge, who is very mild-mannered normally, known for that type of demeanor, ordered everybody out of the courtroom so he could dress down that witness. certainly one of the most dramatic moments we have had of this trial yet, but it will not have a significant impact on
