They announce that they are going to require all testimony within two 12-hour shifts. Then they make it three 8-hour shifts... still ridiculously restrictive but there’s relief that they “conceded.”
They announce that they are calling no witnesses and have basically already decided the trial outcome. Now they’re floating the idea of witnesses — at least one or two. If they “concede” many will be relieved at basically getting crumbs from the likes of potential key witness Bolton—a wild card warmonger leaving many other witnesses on the sidelines.
Any concessions are in appearance only. A sham is a sham.
