Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : Blanche then began by calling his paralegal, Daniel Sitko, to testify regarding a log of relevant phone calls, and then called Robert Costello, an attorney who advised Cohen and served as a "back channel" along with Rudy Giuliani for communications between Trump and Cohen while the latter was under investigation.
37% : That obviously did not come to pass, as Trump was in fact indicted.
35% : Trump still could theoretically decide to testify tomorrow, but the comments earlier in the day by Blanche indicate his defense team has no expectation he will do so.
31% : As Klasfeld commented on The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter, it was "obvious" that "the defense would not be likely to rest today if Trump took the stand.
21% : Trump previously touted Costello's testimony to the grand jury as something he believed "SUPPOSEDLY WILL BE CONCLUSIVE" in exonerating him.
16% : If Costello's testimony ends with Trump feeling unsatisfied about how well he was able to damage Cohen's credibility, Trump may be tempted to get up on the witness stand himself.
