a week. he finally did make the trip yesterday. he was looking a little more like a child dressing up for halloween than a cabinet secretary there to bring hope and help to scared residents. here s how repeat did eventually respond to his 20 day delay. when i tried to do is balance two things. my desire to be involved and engaged and on the ground, which is how i am generally wired to act and my desire to follow the norm of transportation secretaries, others, and thinking about whether i got that balance right. no thinking needed a pothole. pete, you absolutely did not strike the right balance, right? joining me now is the man launching an investigation, house oversight committee chair james comer, congressman, good to see you. listen, i want to give you i want to get your take on this ,because we reached out to mary pete for a comment and we were actually referred to this tweet that says, i m alarmed to learn that the chair of the house oversight committee thinks that th
goes into court and then he talks about all these othereo theoriesries. why is that important? because it is devoid of human heart and human emotion. i mean, hin.s testimony, sean, a was coming from a lawyer, not gi a grieving father and a grieving husband. ev and i think that is just going to be devastating for him. and the prosecutor, sean com. over twenty five times i was counting today, he kept using the word, you lied this lie. when did you determine you were going to lie? the jury hears this ad nauseum. it s close to closing argument this time frame.t a now, you ve only got a few minutes for him to to leave and for somebody to come. it s and kill them. i mean, it s devastating forastg his defense. philip, we re going to have michelle, thanks for having me.b look, i think one of the bestes things that the prosecutor brought out toda broughty durint cross-examination, he got the defendant to admit that therthe defee was nobody else de at te at that kennel in the moments leading
probablycu not had the perryey e mason experience that they ve been apparently trying to get. the defendant is , i think, dominating this discussion in that courtroom.dominating the dn that courtroom. sean: maybe that s the last and maybe that s my last question for you, becausequ i just started watchinesg the testimony yesterday. l yoyesterdau whaty, did a i thought murdoch did a pretty good job and he had a wide leeway to tell his story to the jury. y anand become somewhat likablen even though i know he s a no liar. let s say you . yeah, look, he s a charming guy. he s an attorney .attorney. he was a prosecutor fore came oo a while. so he came offut as about as we as you can come off. drm t the problem is from the drug addictions to stealing from your clients, to doing all these nefarious, horrific things, there s a lot of peoplse who are sitting in prison rightt now based exclusively off of f the f of circumstantial evidence. and i think mr. murdaugh is going to be the next
your testimony on cross-examination that you hurt the ones you loven cross- the most. and i did say that philip. yeah, but see, here s the thing.e he gave him an opportunity to go and explain that he did d that all through cross-examination. id by the way, i don t think n was a mistake. i think the defendant, allnd ant, athings being equal, has testified very well. the prosecutor has not asked has leading questions.d open they ve asked open ended questions. questions.sbecauestion-ended they didn t know the answer to . and because they have doneus t those things that violateshole the basic rules that we allthatw have learned in terms of tryineh cases and trial advocacy, because they ve done thoseey t things. they ve given hihosemdiscus the opportunity to run away with the discussion in this courtroom. has he admitted has he admitteds of course he has.admitt and he s admitted that he s edau thief. but he s been able to make the case on cross-examination that he s the liar and he s a t
