Yes the prosecution is excellent.

But the judge in this case has to keep admonishing the Trump attorneys.
In some cases he even has to step in and do their jobs for them.

And a witness with a high school education and no legal training can make mincemeat
out of Trump's attorneys.

The Trump attorneys are bad, very bad.
