There was debate over the weekend about whether Donald Trump would testify in his E. Jean Carroll damages trial on Monday — with many legal experts discussing the disaster that could unfold.

As it turned out, an ill juror forced a last-minute pause for a day, but the short morning of activity was enough for MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin to admit she was wrong. She had assumed Trump was not going to testify — but what she saw in court Monday morning convinced her he was ready to go.

"Trump was definitely ready and eager to testify. What makes me say that?" she wrote on social media. "As the press assembled in our assigned rows of the courtroom this morning, one of the court marshals ejected a slim, curly-haired woman from a bench on the other side of the courtroom. Many of us gasped because that woman was Trump criminal defense lawyer Susan Necheles."

1. Of course, lying is one of his favorite pastime. And an extra kick to it if it's under oath

2. Nothing In The Article...

...explains or justifies this "expert's" opinion.
Because some woman got called out & came back with a different lawyer? How would the expert know that wasn't theater?
Silly supposition.

4. Agree. That's pretty flimsy anecdotal "evidence" for an attorney to rely on or

maybe she just had to have story in spite of nothing happening today.

3. Trump will give blondes a bad reputation. /nt
