Damn, she must have crumbled when Trump’s lawyers brought that up when cross-examining her. As far as the jury is concerned, that would be game over for the prosecution.
Trump’s lawyers did bring that up, didn’t they?
Here's an article on it where Bill Mahr talks about it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/bill-maher-dredges-up-2018-stormy-daniels-interview-that-totally-undermines-her-trump-trial-testimony/ar-BB1mgfe9
What happened when Trump’s lawyers brought that up in cross examination?
I'm not in the court room, just look it up. It's on video and I have seen that
Ah but how convenient it is that anything we look up that doesn't fit your narrative can simply be dismissed as being the MSM which obviously has an anti Trump agenda and therefore is a lie. That's pretty convenient, yes? It is almost like that's exactly why Trump made up this whole MSM is liars who are out to get him thing. He has even tried to turn "doesn't like Trump" into an insult that he then uses against anyone not supporting his lies to try to discredit them so that his own lies seem more believable.
I hope you can eventually see out of his cloud of lies, deception, and manipulation. It may be painful briefly, but you'll eventually start seeing all the ways you have been manipulated. It will eventually feel good like a nice warm blanket to finally be free of it.
I can say the same about your side when it comes to Fox news, Newsmax, etc.
Btw, Trump didn't just make it up about the MSM lying. It's pretty obvious to anyone willing to venture outside the MSM bubble. Things like the Russia hoax, the burying of the Hunter laptop story, waiting until campaign season to bring every case they've got and then saying it's not political, or spending 3 years telling everyone the border is secure and closed, refusing to say certain words or phrases such as illegal alien, and anytime someone calls them out on something they just tell everyone you're a racist MAGA supporter, etc. are all examples of the fake news that Trump talks about.
