enquirer. it came out today that he had a separate work email when he didn't want any of his assistance at the national enquirer to see that private separate work email. uh, how significant is this testimony? his testimony in this case overall, a. given the fact that he has immunity it's critical because of the fact that he was in that august 2015 meeting that we talked about over at the magic wall that he can speak firsthand to conversations he had with the defendant, and that's always valuable testimony. now, the evidence about the email account is the kinda thing that doesn't need to be brought up at trial. it doesn't help too to establish any given fact, but you plant that seed and jurors heads and it just seems a little off in a little bit. why does this man have a second email address? and it's the kind of thing that little detail that prosecutors can get in to sort of make people raise an eyebrow, eyebrow and think, wait a second something doesn't smell quite. right. >> it's interesting.
