On the way into court downey said they were feeling good and confident today that they are doing well in this case, especially because he is now continuing that crossexamination. It was pretty ruthless yesterday. They found gates to be someone who had a secret life. They had him detail this private flat london that he used to have an affair. Talked about stealing hundred of thousands of dollars from paul man for the. They also started asking him about like to the fbi and for some reason gates was a little squirrely on that issue.
