What are the odds of Costello testifying the DAY BEFORE Cohen's Cross-Examination?

Got to give it to Jim Jordan and the Congressional Republicans. They are doing their part to fight against the machine.
Calling Bob Costello to testify that Cohen cleared Trump in 2018, the day before his final cross-examination was brilliant.
Timing is everything. News cycles are everything.
Revealing that Alvin Bragg had this information and ignored it to indict Trump anyway is astounding.

Judge will sustain any objections to Costello’s transcripts being introduced then also attempt to block Costello as a defense witness to counter Cohen.

This is my opinion as well.

Yeah...denial of impeachment witnesses is always a good look.

If it helps Trump, wont be shown, if hurts him it will.

The low life Cohen had sex with Stormy and mortgaged his house to buy her off, then slipped cost onto Trump’s bill or said he did to hide the fact it was him is what it’s looking like

As he should. The transcript of Costello's congressional testimony is inadmissible hearsay.

Different matter entirely, and there is no reason Costello should be prevented from testifying if called by the defense. But I highly doubt that Trump's team wants to subject Costello to cross.

I would hope that he try that. It would surely get him tossed from the bench and losses of license to practice law if he did. Hell he’s already likely to get that anyway

Are we talking Costello or Daniels?

Explain how exactly it’s inadmissible hearsay when he was Cohen’s attorney and Cohen told him directly?

And Cohen’s AC privilege was revoked because of actions he took while Costello was his attorney, so he can’t hide behind that as a way to block it.

Inadmissible hearsay.

Absolutely
But stormy talking about what Trump told somebody is fact and proves guilt.

Costello's congressional testimony transcript is hearsay in Trump's trial. Costello would need to be present to testify or fall into a hearsay exception, which I do not believe he does.

Costello's congressional testimony for use in Trump's trial? Yes, absolutely. At least the transcripts, which is what I addressed. His live testimony would obviously not be.

That would matter for Costello's live testimony at the trial, but transcripts of Costello before congress is hearsay and not coming in regardless of any AC privilege situation.

Doesn't matter dems will say Cohen is more reliable

The comment I responded to mentioned both the transcript and his live testimony being disallowed.
Which is why I said that the transcript would be properly inadmissible, but the live testimony would be a different story.

They would have to, which was my point in my first response.
