- Discussion about jury consultants, watching the jurors during the testimony. They are trying to spot reactions by individuals they can appeal to.
- (Note: Our woodpecker is back at the birdfeeder. He is so big.)

- Blanche making point that there was a lot going on in October 2016.
- Cohen admits he doesn’t remember the specifics of something.
- (Note: One of the King children supported and endorsed Trump. Jesus.)
- Blanche trying to make argument by asking about things that Cohen doesn’t remember, that Cohen can’t possibly remember specifically about the payment to Daniels.
- Blanche uses the language Do you still maintain that “you only spoke to trump about the Stormy Daniels issue.” (Reporter’s words).
- Cohen says yes, because it was important to me.
- (Note: There are two woodpeckers, one more brightly colored than the other.)
- Cohen was shorted $100,000 on his bonus that year.
