'Pure gold': Ex-Trump lawyer says fresh lies from Cohen could bring trial crashing downhttps://t.co/eC1FLWBbqG

At the end of the day, he added, "The thing that would be pure gold is if they can bring out lies that he told on direct, right? If they can show that he lied about something in this courtroom. "That's far more valuable than than all of the history of lies that he has to Congress and everybody else."

Well, yeah, a Perry Mason moment would be dramatic, but surely Parlatore knows that. This is “Wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which fills up faster.”  Where is this coming from?

 Oh, maybe this.

Costello was sent by Rudy to pressure Cohen to retain him as his lawyer so he could control him and keep him from cooperating. Cohen never retained him, signed anything with him, or paid him a cent. They tried to do to Cohen exactly what they tried to do with Cassidy Hutchinson. pic.twitter.com/V0WNdC3Lyf

You can take the lawyer out of MAGA, but…

I have no problem with Costello taking the stand in Manhattan and repeating these claims, subject to cross-examination. https://t.co/jdk9G9N2fW

Exactly. Without that, none of this comes into the courtroom. In fact, how Parlatore thinks the evidence of Cohen’s supposed lies in direct can be introduced now, is beyond me. He really is calling for a Perry Mason moment where Cohen provides the evidence in a confession of his “lies.”
