to essentially avoid taxes. i can't stress enough, andrea, how badly this trial appears to be going for paul manafort. a week ago the washington nationals were beating the new york mets 19-0 in the fifth inning. the mets had a chance to cam back, technically, but the mets won 5-4. that's what it feels like, there is a chance for the defense to make a case that gates is lying but there are these documents that seem to buttress what he's saying. it will be interesting to see how they cross-examine rick gates. >> i won't forget that game. the defense has had their chance at bat, to keep the metaphor going. joyce, what are you seeing, especially because of the very prominent role judge ellis is taking in keep the prosecution from what it seems to feel is key evidence? >> well, the prosecution would i guess to stay in tune, have to hit the ball completely out of the park to get an acquittal in this case.
