How can a Judge say that a defendant cannot call the witnesses they wish???
It’s not normal, but it’s certainly possible. At a minimum he could limit the questioning to omit anything that is considered privileged to the prosecution, just as if the prosecution was trying to get one of Trump’s lawyers on the stand for them. If the questioning was allowed, Wade could also plead the 5th, especially if his answer might contradict something he previously testified.
As I said, I’m all for this angle of attachk and appreciate AC bringing it forward, as no one analyzing it on TV has even mentioned it yet that I’ve seen. But it’s not like he’s going to be hooked up to a lie detector and forced to answer every question they dream up, even if they’re allowed to call him, was my only caution.
