He thinks he’s going to talk his way out of it. How cute.
He’s already tried to tweet his way out of it, blog his way out of it, witness tamper his way out of it, and talk to the press his way out of it.
I guarantee he’s been begging to take the stand since the moment he first sat down with his lawyers.

How “great” would that be if he actually Mind[ed]TheGap[ped]-ed these “TrumpedUp” charges /s

The founder of blood-testing start-up Theranos, who argued that she did not intend to defraud investors, was ultimately convicted of four out of 11 counts and sentenced to more than 11 years in prison.
Tom Barrack, a former private equity executive and fundraiser for former President Donald Trump, and Lebanese businessman Jean Boustani, both took to the stand in separate, unrelated criminal cases and were acquitted.
