I feel they know the best outcome is a hung jury. So the “defense” is all a performance to demonstrate “the rules don’t apply to me and they don’t apply to anyone like me.” Hence the group of ex-convicts at his trail yesterday. It’s not for an audience of one. It’s an election appeal for the base.

The in-court performance is for Trump. Out of court is for the base. I agree a hung jury is their best outcome. Problem is their trump-centric "defense" performance basically was a middle finger to the jury. Which is kind of the opposite of what you want to do if you want a juror to side with you.
