Redirect, I think you mean.
Sounds like Daniels is doing exceptionally well while being attacked. A lot depends on how the jury sees this.
I think this explains a lot about why the prosecution had her go into such detail the other day; her story sounded very believable. So now the defense attacks just seem nasty and pointless.
I think the defense is really hampered by Trump’s refusal to acknowledge he had sex with Daniels. I don’t think anyone is buying into the idea that Daniels is lying about the sex and this is only making Trump look less trustworthy. (If that’s possible.)
At least she didn’t sell tacky bibles on line.
Seth Abramson on X:
I have had thousands of criminal-defendant clients, and only once in my entire career did I have a case where the defendant insisted on a sequence of events that made the case impossible to try but it had to be tried anyway. That is what Trump has done to these lawyers.
His assumption, and therefore the assumption he is making his attorneys go with, is that the jurors will detest Daniels as much as he does and distrust her purely on the basis of her past employment. He is making them see the world through his eyes—not that of the jury.
The credibility attorneys lose before the jury when they harp on supposed testimonial inconsistencies the jury instinctively sees as mere semantics is breathtaking, I promise you. I would need to be in the room to know more, but this sounds like a disaster for Trump.

Stormy Daniels has testified for an hour and 45 minutes so far this morning.
On Tuesday, she testified for three hours and 44 minutes, including under direct and cross-examination, according to our calculations.
She has testified for roughly five and a half hours over two days so far.
Donald Trump’s attorneys seem to be placating the former president during their cross-examination of Stormy Daniels, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins said.
“To speak back to who the attorneys are performing for, that’s always the difficulty of being Donald Trump’s attorney. It was the same with his impeachment trial, it was the same with his civil fraud trial, it’s the same situation here – of what he wants and what they think is the best strategic decision,” she explained.
Collins observed that during Daniels testimony on Tuesday, Trump was “about angry as I’ve ever seen him.”
She added that Trump likely expressed his displeasure during court breaks.
“He goes into a side room with his attorneys and when they were in the middle of her questioning” before they got into examination “he was essentially seething” about what he had to sit there and listen to, Collins said.
He wants his attorney to get up there and undermine every little detail about Daniels testimony, Collins added.
necheles is now going on about the “make america horny again” thing.
This makes me so happy.
I had a client like that once. My god, was it going to be a difficult trial. Finally, he relented and we tried the case based on a more rational theory. We still lost. (one of the few truly dangerous criminal clients I ever represented. He belonged in jail.)
I thought only Librul snowflakes needed safe spaces. 
Yeah, it seems Trump’s lawyers were harping on some details being slightly different in some versions of the stories. But this thing has played out over more than a decade now. Who in their right mind expects to repeat every detail, exactly the same, every time they tell a story? I have no doubt most of the jury is shaking their heads at this. Like the whole “Were you there for dinner, or did you eat dinner?” thing. No of that nit-picking matters.
And it plays into the assertion that Trump’s lawyers are performing to placate their client, rather than actually defending the case.
“Just like you. I got the shotgun… you got the briefcase…”
i got to admit, if i were invited to dinner, i would expect food, not a man pretending to be hugh hefner and then that man stripping down to “unmentionables”.
necheles is getting into dangerous waters with her slut shaming.
cnn update:
In her final question to Stormy Daniels, Trump attoreny Susan Necheles says “you never had an affair with President Trump but realized you could earn money” by claiming you did.
Judge Juan Merchan sustained an objection to the question, and then the cross-examination wrapped up.
Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger is walking through Stormy Daniels’ motivation for entering into the non-disclosure agreement, including her fear for her safety.
Daniels recalls being told about being safer hiding in plain sight.
“Something won’t happen to you if everyone is looking at you,” Daniels says, noting it was one of the reasons she signed the NDA.
Hoffinger follows up: “You were also happy to take the money?”
“We’re all happy to take money. It’s just a bonus,” Daniels says
I have to wonder how many of the women on the jury have experienced some kind of similar bait&switch in their life. I mean, growing up, “Hey, you want to go back to my place and see my etchings?” was a well-known clichéd way of getting a woman to go back to your place.
after daniels’ direct i figured her testimony would break along gender lines.
lots of sidebar happening right now.
Mercifully, Stormy’s testimony is done.
Waitaminute, are you telling me that Trump had a bodyguard with him at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, waiting outside his hotel room door while he had sex?
The next witness to testify is Rebecca Manochio who works at the Trump Organization as a junior bookkeeper.
Have they done Daniel’s redirect yet?
Trump attorney Susan Necheles is back to ask Stormy Daniels another round of questions.
the questioning is mostly about her tweets. seriously! daniels is saying she would respond to nasty tweets, not attack first.
Susan Necheles is going back to Stormy Daniels’ tweets and written attacks from users.
Necheles asks whether that on Twitter, strangers “post nasty things, right?”
“You engage in these kind of back-and-forths with these strangers all the time?” Necheles asks. “Sure,” Daniels says.
“I was defending myself,” Daniel says.
“I never attack anybody first. Same with Mr. Trump. I didn’t say anything negative about him until he said it about me,” Daniels says.
Stormy Daniels is off the stand. Her testimony is over, and she’s now leaving the courtroom.
Before she stepped down, Daniels said, “Thank you, sir” to Judge Juan Merchan on the bench above her.
Stormy Daniels was on the stand for 6 hours and 10 minutes over two days of testimony.
The next witness to testify is Rebecca Manochio who works at the Trump Organization as a junior bookkeeper.
