He could have testified under oath.

(82,849 posts)The only person that didn't allow the former guy to testify was the former guy. Oh, and maybe his lawyer and about six beefy guys to sit on him.

(55,697 posts)which is why he extended the asshole's timeframe for deciding to testify or not. The asshole is predictable so no surprise here.

Spazito
(55,697 posts)he was coming back to go to court. The judge's offer is now on record making it easy to refute any lies the asshole is going to/is trying to sell. I loved it too!

(55,697 posts)not enough yet, but it is shrinking. I don't think he feels safe, I think he is crapping in his depends and is terrified given all the various charges current and pending. It's only a matter of time, imo, before he totally loses it.

(4,741 posts)Without a massive retainer up front. A million dollars doesn't begin to get him in the door. I'd guess that an experienced sleazebag like Joey Capone expected him to pay $10m-20m, up front. Maybe more.

(4,850 posts)His own lawyer knew he would lie about it. The judge knew he would lie about it. The jury knew he would lie about it. And he didnt disappoint.
I want to see what will happen when he violates the gag order in his fraud trial. If he isnt jailed I will be unsurprised but very disappointed.

(2,400 posts)This is so predictable. The problem is that many people will believe him.
Because a good portion of our fellow citizens don't consume any real news. They watch Fox, Newsmax--listen to AM hate radio--all the propaganda outlets that serve up the lies they want to hear.

He said we'd get tired of "winning", maybe he meant "whining". I'm certainly sick of his whining.
