it was like watching michael cohen square off against the new michael cohen in some sense and then he couldn't help himself, that frequently in that trial, he literally answered questions to him as a witness with a response that only a lawyer is supposed to give in court. he would object himself and because he was not really represented by the ag's office and his counsel did not have a speaking role, there was no one to act for him and i think he felt exposed and unprotected and so that might be what accounts for some of the difference. that, and additional time. he learned from that experience and in drawing says in his ruling, not everybody finds michael cohen incredible but i'm going to side with him here but see that ruling as a warning to michael cohen. you're not always on the right side of people's dividing line about your credibility. >> and what he is doing on the witness stand does not come across as performance. i'm not saying it isn't, but it does not come across that way. it comes across as this is the way he is sitting here now talking about this. he is not a good actor.
