about the judge having interspersed comments about rick gates, undercutting the key prosecution witness. julia, in this way that dan goldman has just described, and you were in the courtroom, is it likely to try to take away the key defense argument? they didn t put on any character witnesses, they didn t obviously put on paul manafort, so their only closing argument is going to be that rick gates did it, he was the bad guy, not paul manafort. that s right. i think every piece of the argument that we just heard the prosecution lay out was preemptive of what they expect the defense to do when we come back from lunch. they went after rick gates, saying, look, we re not asking you to trust every word he says, we re not asking you to like him, we re asking you to look at the documents and the other witnesses and see if what he said was consistent. they also said, look, paul manafort didn t hire a boy scout, he hired someone who would commit these criminal acts with him. so they re going
