what is the jury to do with this latest david pecker testimony? >> well, i think the problem is that from the prosecution standpoint, they are trying to convince the jury that there is this scheme to steal the election and that this deal is a component of it. to me, the trump defense should be there was nothing illegal about this deal and would i would be more concerned about, the more they go at pecker and cross-examine about this but conveys to the jury they must be being hurt by it why else testing pecker's testimony the way they are doing? i must say, shannon, i would have been tempted to do a very short cross examination of pecker, like five or ten minutes to get across to the jury that nothing he testified to -- the longer they go after this the more impression it is hurt by it and maybe bragg's theory is right. maybe part of a big conspiracy. >> shannon: you think they should wrap it up with this witness. we talked earlier about the fact the defense team has been pushing for more information which witnesses with coming next but hesitation t

david pecker's statement have not been consistent. so if you have two liars that are getting a platform and can go on the alphabet soup networks at night, those that don't spell anything, only fox does, and you can't defend yourself against the lies, that a convicted liar, michael cohen is saying against you, that is the unfairness that i see here. you know, i don't know where stormy daniels falls in telling the truth or not. certainly somebody that went to prison that is your former attorney can do some real damage if you can't at least say no, this is what the truth is. you can't defend yourself. that's not just only fairness. it's an injustice and it's a reason to let this go and move on to the next. if they want to reset and say, okay, we're going to start the table all over again and from here on out, $1,000 for a thing, trump has enough to talk about. he's back on the campaign trail when he can be. he's talking american people's troubles and woes under this current administration, which is a silver lining with a gag order. >> em
