Weakest for me without a doubt was Stephanie Clifford. I don’t believe a single word she said, which for me meant that the sex never happened, so there was no there there.
No sex = no knowledge = extortion on her part.
I didn’t follow the case super closely, so I don’t even know who were the two witnesses for the defense.
I would never suggest that Trump take the stand in a rigged situation like this. Merchan would have allowed the prosecutors to go into crazy wild areas that have nothing to do with this, just as he allowed Clifford to testify. It had nothing to do with the case, in truth. She should never have been a witness, but since she was, she showed herself to be nothing but a two bit whore. That’s all she is.
She sold her body for money, and, like many others working this trial, she sold her soul, too.
