We will the jury will have this case tomorrow night. It seems like the defense was pretty restful before they rested. You know what i mean . Like not only did they not put the defendant on the stand, which of course would have been amazing blockbuster drama, but they didnt put any other witnesses on the stand, nor did they introduce evidence, substantial evidence. So its i mean, this is a legitimate and mainstream legal theory about how you defend your client, you try to create the impression in the jury that the prosecution doesnt even bear responding to their case was so weak. But those closing arguments tomorrow are going to be a big deal. Its going to be fascinating. Theres one line of evidence in this case that stands completely unrefuted by the defense. There was no crossexamination on this. And that was a treasury official getting on the stand and saying Paul Manafort did not report the existence of the following foreign bank accounts. Thats the description of a crime, for the d

Thats the description of a crime, for the defense not to put something on the stand to refute that, to say it wasnt Paul Manaforts responsibility, something, anything, theres no defense on that. No. There was discussion on crossexamination im going to get this exactly. There was . Discussion of was Paul M
Your unwavering effort to save our planet. Let me know when youre up for that road trip. I want to know what thats about. Anyway, theres more, other candidates also, similar responses. So well keep you apprised as this continues to develop. Jay inslee, one of the highprofile candidates to have left the race as of tonight this past hour. Well see you again tomorrow. Now its time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. From senator kamala harris, few leaders have done more to shine a light on the Climate Crisis than jay inslee, his voice will be miss in this primariprim primary but i know hell continue this fight.
