Other People’s Money

NEXT WITNESS: Dr. Robert Browning, Exec Dir, CSPAN archives. Acting as custodian of records, pursuant to subpoena --> i.e Trump wouldn't stipulate to authenticity of a CSPAN tape so he's had to shlep out from Indiana to authenticate. Jury probably doesn't know it's D's fault.

I mean, in a normal trial, the authenticity and admissibility of C-SPAN material would be stipulated to.

But the defendant, who whines incessantly being stuck in a courtroom against his will, seeks to prolong the time he is stuck in the courtroom against his will, so he can walk… https://t.co/W0MpBNfG0h

The stipulation saves about an hour of court time, and means you’re paying your attorneys to do something more substantive. Not stipulating, IOW, wastes time and money and brings no return to you. 

But Trump is spending other people’s money, so what does he care? Until other people decide they’re tired of him spending their money that way.

When does he start campaigning again? I can’t imagine there are too many big donors interested in his legal fund, v. his campaign fund.
