A podcast I was listening to made a sobering point-the goofier Trump comes across in this trial, the less people will remember how he was and what he wants to do if he is elected again. ---

Cohen _is_ the Prosecution’s denouement. And – truth be told – I don’t even know what that word _means._ I just used it for dramatic effect. ---

I’ll give him credit for being a lawyer, so he has some idea of the lines that shouldn’t be crossed. His failing appear to primarily have been ethical rather than competence. That said, I hope he finally gets the message that the judge isn’t exactly happy about his social media posts. The prosecution seems to have been preparing the jury for it by letting it be known Cohen is not a nice guy but there’s no need to give the defense freebies, either. ---

Meanwhile, let’s not sleep on a hugely important discussion from today > [@rocking\_chair](#): > > Prosecutor Chris Conroy says they want to submit Allen Weisselberg’s severance agreement from the Trump Organization into evidence. The defense objects. > > “He is an uncalled government witness,” Trump attorney Emil Bove says of Weisselberg, saying the prosecution’s theory is that he conspired with Cohen and gave instructions to McConney. > > “Mr. Weisselberg’s absence from this trial is a very complicated issue,” Bove says. > > Defense attorney Emil Bove said they’ll likely need an instruction for the jury about uncalled witnesses on both sides. It is unclear if Donald Trump will testify. > > “Mr. (Allen) Weisselberg is in prison right now and not available to anyone,” Bove said. > > Bove also said the severance agreement is unduly prejudicial. He argued there would be “undue prejudice” to the jury to admit the severance agreement, saying it’s “unduly confusing” because Weisselberg is in prison. > > “If either side tried to call him he would likely invoke” his Fifth Amendment, Bove said. > > “We don’t think it’s relevant that he entered into this agreement after the fact,” Bove also said. > > Prosecutor Chris Conroy weighed in, saying, “What we are looking to do is explain from our perspective why he’s not here.” > > "Mr. Weisselberg’s interest are “aligned with the defendant’s,” Conroy said. > > The agreement includes provisions for Weisselberg not to disparage the company or its officers and employees, Conroy said. > > Conroy said he imagines the defense will make arguments about “whether he should’ve been here and what him not being here means.” > > Judge Juan Merchan asks if anyone has attempted to compel Allen Weisselberg’s testimony… > > Judge Juan Merchan suggests prosecutors could bring in Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg to take the stand outside the presence of the jury and see if he would testify or assert the Fifth Amendment. > > “Right now, we’re speculating,” Merchan said. Weisselberg is a big issue in this case. He’s obviously material to the prosecution : his name has come up repeatedly, he has personal knowledge of the events at issue, and the jury might speculate about why he is absent. Additionally, one possible line of defense is that Weisselberg and Cohen schemed this operation, and donald was none the wiser. The DA, in its effort to be comprehensive, wants to explain this absence by introducing evidence that Weisselberg was given money in exchange for keeping his mouth shut. The defense, of course, doesn’t want that to come in. It’s yet another example of how donald conducts himself and ties up a loose end (what about the Trump org CFO who seemed to be Donald’s #2?) that they would rather exploit. The key buzzword here is when the defense mentions an instruction to the jury about “uncalled witnesses”. What does that reference? Here’s the relevant law (I am not a New York lawyer; this is from a Google search) > [@](#): > > (1) A party normally is expected to produce witnesses who are available to be called, are knowledgeable about a material issue, and would be expected to testify favorably on behalf of that party. > (2) (a) A party’s failure to call a person to testify who is knowledgeable about a material issue and can be expected to testify favorably for that party may warrant an “adverse inference” that permits the finder of fact to infer that, had the witness been called to testify, the witness’s testimony on the issue of which the witness possessed knowledge would not have supported the position of the party that failed to call the witness. > (b) A request for the adverse inference specified in paragraph (a) may be defeated by satisfactorily > accounting for the witness’s absence: by > demonstrating that the witness is not knowledgeable about the issue; that the issue is not material or relevant; that, although the issue is material or relevant, the testimony would be “cumulative” of other evidence; that the witness is not “available”; or that the witness is not under the party’s “control,” meaning that the witness would not be expected to testify in the party’s favor… > (5) (a) When a witness, who may have knowledge about a material issue and would be expected to testify favorably for a party, will not be called as a witness by that party, the court may in its discretion permit that party to present evidence that purports to explain the witness’s absence. > (b) Should a witness be unavailable as a matter of law to testify, the court should instruct the jury that the witness has become unavailable for reasons beyond the party’s control and that, consequently, no adverse inferences may be drawn from the witness’s failure to appear. > **[6.10.1\_Missing\_Witness.pdf](https://www.nycourts.gov/JUDGES/evidence/6-WITNESSES/6.10.1_Missing_Witness.pdf)** > > 186.84 KB This adds context to the discussion. The defense is claiming that Weisselberg is “unavailable” for either side (if he gets here, he’s just going to clam up). They don’t want the DA to show the agreement. The DA is countering that Weisselberg would testify favorably for the defense, so they should be able to explain why he’s not there. Meanwhile, the judge is thinking that a person is considered legally “absent” if they invoke the 5th and won’t answer questions (as I recall, Weisselberg hasn’t gone to jail for his role in this campaign finance scheme). ---

If I’m understanding it correctly, Wiesselberg can be taken out of jail to testify but he’ll just plead the 5th and be useless? ---

I don’t know that this part was covered upthread (apologies if it was), but Judge Merchan is a wee bit curious about this Weisselberg thing. From CNN: > [@](#): > > **Judge Merchan suggests bringing Weisselberg to take the stand outside the presence of jury** > > Judge Juan Merchan suggests former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg could be brought in to take the stand outside the presence of the jury and see if he would testify or assert the Fifth Amendment. > > “Right now, we’re speculating,” Merchan said. > > The judge said he would like to know that Weisselberg won’t testify even if compelled before he can rule on whether the severance agreement is admissible under the rules of evidence.

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > I think he’ll be ok on the stand. He knows what’s coming. I suspect he’ll easily keep his cool Prosecutor’s team is going over his testimony (duh). But (equal duh) he could be vulnerable under the Defense, HOWEVER unlike Trump’s team, the Prosecutors aren’t going to be standing by when the other side starts going off the rails or letting their witness be lead off the rails. The Prosecution has done solidly professional job up until now, and I suspect they’ll be watching the Defense’s efforts like hawks with many a ready objection. And given Trump’s likely demands, they’ll likely be put to steady work. ---

I don’t think we had these specifics.

I think it was noted upthread that perjury is rarely prosecuted; in this case, the DA went after him - they might have been trying to use the threat of jail as leverage for his cooperation, but he called their bluff and accepted time at Rikers over turning on donald.
