The Lead With Jake Tapper

is a political tilt to what the president is dealing with in the courtroom, binding i think there's an emotional tilt to what the president was dealing with just a few minutes before he came out with that statement. >> he just came from a sandoval hearing which is it's where the prosecution in the presence of the judge and the defense counsel lays out all your prior bad acts through your lifetime that they're aware of and he's had to listen to them site all those things, all the cases and trials and problems he's had that he's railed against in the press. he's now had to listen listen to that up close and personal and the moment he came out was just before that happens. and i think that statement and was not his typical railing about this as a political witch hunt, but more his own emotional response to what he just heard defendants coming out of a sandoval all hearing are not pleased. it's just the nature of the hearing. it's kind of the worst preview of what could come if you take the stand. so he's it's rattling it. i

information they will raise things like the prior civil fraud trial, the e jean carroll trial, as well to discussion since that has happened in the past, it might be of a legal matter all under the category of a prior bad acts now be issue here though, why defense counsel always has an issue with it is because you cannot use what's called propensity evidence, meaning i'm going to bring up all the bad things you've been accused of doing hoping that the jury will see that and say, because this person has done bad before then they must have done bad now, that is not fair. it is not adjust process. so the judge is going to try to keep out that which would make that same sort of similar intimation having he said that though, if you open that pandora's box there is always a concern for defense counsel& you open the door to be able to be impeached. they call it by these things, not the political impedance judgment, but your credibility attack in front of a criminal jury. that's impeachment in this context, that you do run the risk of having undermining your entire defense now one

number one. number two, they're going to focus on the fact that they're going to try to bring out and make the argument that this is michael cohen's vendetta against his former boss, that he's angry. he he was charged, he pled guilty to a crime, serve time for crime. and this is just all about out of vendetta and they're going to tack the credibility of michael cohen all day, every day interesting, laura, give us your analysis of today's so-called sandoval hearing and explain to our viewers what that is. a sandoval hearing is a fancy way of saying, i want to put the defendant on notice about what kinds of questions they might ask you if you do decide to testify in your own defense. now, it is the prerogative of a defendant to do so or not to do so at an instruction to the jury that they cannot hold it against a defendant if they opt not to do so. but a defendant wants to know what is ahead of me. and so the prosecution has already told the court and problem has and the defense counsel, the types and categories of

for the client to make. >> obviously, it is done with the advice of your lawyers, but it's one that only the defendant can make in most cases defendants don't testify and they don't because of the reasons that i just suggested that is that the government has the burden of proof and the defendant doesn't have to do anything. if you know, depending on how the evidence goes in at trial, if the lawyers on the client think that it went well and they rely on the presumption of innocence and the fact that the government has the burden of proof usually it behooves the defendant not to take the stand. that's advice. that it is often provided by defense counsel to the client and sometimes they take that advice and sometimes they don't. i will say that if donald trump decides over the objection of his lawyers to take the stand, my guess is that the lawyers will make a record before the judge out of the presence of the jury, that that was the advice that they gave& the client decided to reject it in

very high-profile case with a very polarizing figure. it is something that both sides are concerned about being able to actually keep that jury pool. >> and it's likely when you see judge, were sean saying, okay, we want a six alternates. >> we had originally heard just six alternates. there's a chance he's going to want more alternatives because as his case goes on, we might see more of this and of course, there's likely to be other jurors who might now see that this person has been dismissed excuse and it's very basis it may not be questioned themselves. >> have i've been compromised is my anonymity now, in question for some reason that's a very scary proposition. we needed social media posts were already a part of as he were able to identify the defense counsel and call them to task. but now, you've got this ongoing problem, this tension between what the media is in the interest of the public in trying to cover this case, a historic nature, and also what the jurors are going to be feeling. and then you also have social media post on truth, social just last night, donald trump posting a quote that he attributed to jesse waters from fox news. he didn't directly say it
