      Allowing Trump to take the stand is probably the 2nd worse move his lawyers could make. The first is, naturally, being Trump’s lawyer.

      The odds of Trump perjuring himself is so incredibly high.

        Trump can do whatever he wants.

        He’s never once listened to his lawyers before. Why would he do so now?

      Yes, but would his credibility (plus the available evidence) be enough to convict someone else, like Graham?

        I’m not sure, that’s not something I know much about. I do know that utterances under oath can be used to open new investigations and as testimonial evidence in other trials but I’m not sure how that works.

        Let’s hope?
