Years, and his former girlfriend both took the witness stand, telling jurors about the depths of his drug addiction, his ex-wife, kathleen buhle, says that she found drugs and his car in 2018 but you couldn t say exactly when that happened? his former girlfriend been well described drug-fueled partying and for the first time, sworn testimony came from the employee, the clerk, who sold hunter biden the gun that is at the center of its entire case. he said that he saw hunter biden fill out the atf gun purchase form. him self defense attorney and jury consultant. we re not as tibial joints now i mean, this was incredibly personal testimony to see his ex-wife of two decades, the mother of his children, his ex-girlfriend of their testifying about this. what did you make of what they what they said and what the jury heard from them? well, look, as we ve as we ve been talking about, it has a very emotional case and that may be why abbe lowell wanted to have defense one to have some people t ....
Because now they re seeing what it was really liked for these people. how crazy the life was and all of those things so i think the evidence is starting to mount that he did in fact have a drug problem around this time. the key question is going to be when you check off that box, whether or not your user, how far prior to that do you need to have used? it can t be that you have to have a crack pipe hanging out of your mouth as you re filling out the form or it can be that day. that s not that s a reasonable interpretation. but the day before most people would say you re still a user a week before. some people might differ, a month before. i don t know. that s what the what i think the defense is going to have to argue that people can interpret user differently and if that s the case, then you can t find him guilty because it s open to interpretation. what about how the jury heard from the clerk himself who said he watched hunter biden, who came in, said he wanted the gun, which would ....

Prosecutor and the defense. and i thank again, because of my confidence in institution arguments, you want to make the argument that the special counsel is unconstitutional. make the argument, but don t allow everybody come in. what do you say? what do you say? everybody else say? i think they ll make it and some of the arguments you know, maybe they ll carry muster should they have been a special offers created, should it have gone through congress, should there have been senate confirmation, right? those are things that perhaps we should here. i don t know that they carry the de. i think merrick garland certainly has the authority to appoint a special case counsel, but that s my view. harb you may be different and he said this week he has no regrets about appointing him as the special counsel. would you allow third parties to come in? absolutely not. these third parties have filed an amicus brief on this issue in the us supreme court. i read the brief today. so they ve already ....
