The 'down side' is that it drags out a sham trial where Trump's guilt is already presumed - AND it is keeping Trump off of the campaign trail.
However, I seriously doubt that putting Costello in the witness box is the 'big question' to Judge Merchan. He has denied witnesses with exculpatory evidence already.
Judge Merchan has obviously committed unethical bench practices. If the case goes to appeal there would probably be an investigation by a judicial ethics panel plus the appeal court's decision based on the merits of the defenses' charges of misconduct.
The New York Dem Party may be insane enough to drive this into federal court but I tend to doubt it. Notice how Judge Merchan reversed his decision to deny Trump's attendance at his son's high school graduation. Obviously someone was sensitive about the tawdry appearance of the judge's autocratic oppression - in a case that is destined to eventually end up in a trash heap - with Merchan judged a biased unethical judge. 🤷
Biden is insane enough to believe such an outcome as desirable. I hope the Dem Party is not so insane as to think that putting their #1 opponent in jail will peacefully yield them a victory for their senile unpopular candidate. Even if they replace Biden, his administration's policies - domestic and international - are extremely disliked by the general populace.
To pursue such a course would indicate that they are prepared to forcefully defend their overthrow of the normal Constitutional order. ❓❓❓
I wish I could retire.

Hear you loud and clear! Striving to be debt free over next year, if I can achieve this I can walk away and go Gault! Pray the Donald win’s this fall, if so we need a picture of WH aids holding his arms up as he signs executive orders rescinding the last four years. ( like holding Moses arms up while the children of Israel cross over ).

Biden Invokes Executive Privilege to Prevent Release of Recording with Special Counsel Hur
“The Justice Department’s Legal Counsel Office said the recording should be considered protected by executive privilege”
I’m so sorry to hear that. How will we end this insidious mindset? Excellence should get you the job!
Costello testified before Congress yesterday and would be a great defense witness for Trump.
~
Cohen’s lawyer, Costello said the grand jury wasn’t given a lot of his information because they DA said part of it was “hearsay”.
The problem is, “There is no hearsay in grand juries.”
(Merchan just sustained the prosecution’s objection to Cohen’s text messages.)
(uh-oh)

I’m ambivalent that this will be of fascinating interest to anyone but myself... but, you are one who might open the door long enough to hear a classical styled geo-political *conversation* emerge. Or, not.😉
