Nicolle Wallace: 'It Was Devastating Evidence’: Andrew Weissmann On Robert Costello’s Testimony Showing Donald Trump's Mob Tactics'

Source:MSNBC talking about Bad Job Bob Costello and Defendant Don, with their legal analyst Andrew Weissmann.

"Andrew Weissmann, former top prosecutor at the Justice Department and Susanne Craig, New York Times Investigative Reporter join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss the conclusion of Trump attorney Robert Costello’s testimony which included a devastation cross examination from the prosecution which both corroborated Michael Cohen’s testimony and showed the mob like tactics on display between Trump and his employees during the height of the Stormy Daniels controversy."

"Robert Costello is a 'killshot witness': Jonathan Turley. Robert Costello took the stand Monday in NY v. Trump." 

From FOX News 

As my colleague Fred Schneider talked about earlier today: 

"But CNN still has Jeffrey Toobin as one of their legal analysts. And he's not there to tell the CNN viewers or CNN only things that can hurt or help both sides equally. To paraphrase Socialists: Toobin is not there to redistribute the facts and evidence equally. He's there to report and give his own evidence and analysis regardless of who it might hurt or help.

Jeff Toobin said last night on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 how Manhattan ADA Susan Hoffinger was going to cross-examine Robert Costello and he perfectly nailed it. And NBC News's correspondent Yasmin Vossoughian, perfectly laid out how Hoffinger did that by using Costello's own words and emails against him. "

Just to start this off on a lighter note: listening to MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace (who used to be a Republican operative before Donald J. Trump kicked the real Republicans out of the party) read. back Robert Costello's emails, that Manhattan ADA Susan Offinger read back and introduced to the jury, which basically just contradicts everything that he told this jury, but only with his own words, was like listening to a great sitcom comedian or standup comedian. She's a great comedic deliverer. She just pounded way at Costello's own words, his own emails, with a great sarcastic, comedic, tone. But only because Robert Costello shot off what's left of his feet from Monday, with his own emails. 

Now having said all of that, now that I guess Jonathan Turley said that Robert Costello would be a "kill shot for this trial", he was actually right (for a change) about that. But not in the way that I think he meant to be. He was the defense's only witness, really the only new evidence that they introduced in this case. But it was as if they were throwing in the towel, or decided to throw in the case. Because Costello's own words, his own emails, just corroborated a lot of what Michael Cohen has already told this jury. 

I think I know what FOX News and the rest of MAGA cult will be saying now after Robert Costello testified today. They're probably going to say that he was some Democratic plant by the Joe Biden Administration, to sabotage  Donald Trump's case. If he's convicted of the felonies, or perhaps even before that, you'll see some MAGA cultists on probably Twitter, perhaps Reddit, saying that Robert Costello was a Joe Biden plant during this trial. Or perhaps someone from FOX News.
