Here’s the thing with Hayes’ point…

A criminal prosecutor questioning a witness is NOT the same as plaintiff’s counsel deposing a witness.

That’s 1.

These stakes are incomparably high.

Circumlocution won’t buy you any favors with a federal prosecutor.

I would NEVER let donald trump testify under oath if he were my client. NEVER.
I’d fake a heart attack and create a distraction, first.

Court reporter’s whole record would just be onomatopoeic transcriptions of my gurgles and wails.
