The bigger question is why was he picked to begin with? The entire trial is one huge dnc fabrication of the law.Lawfare at its worst. It's entire premise of making tiny crimes which the time-limit has run out on huge crimes. its totally insane and costello wants no part of it. Which is why costello had such a hard time with it. He's a big league lawyer.He worked at sdny a big time liberal govt. place in new york.
Costello is no conservative. But, he is a smart lawyer and wants no part of judge juan who will only make NYC look even worse than it does now.
