to take the stand? >> it really depends on how the case is going, chris. if the case is falling apart around me, if the uphill battle is in terms of us trying to surmount, it's going to require a hail mary and that is what this would be then at that point you may consider putting your client on. in this case, these facts, the issue you have with trump and what would give me an anxiety attack thinking about someone like him testifying is that he's not controllable to the extent that he starts going into whatever he wants to discuss or whatever grievances he has, what might happen is that judge merchan may actually preclude the prosecution from being able to go to certain areas but then trump gets on the stand and somehow or another opens the door to then being able to have the prosecution cross-examined him on issues the judge had precluded so it's a very danger zone when you think about clients like trump or very controllable.
