I am not a lawyer, and this is just a wild thought out of the blue. Considering the precedent setting of this case, would it be admissable for the defense to call Bragg and Letitia James to the stand to establish nefarious political motive?

Costello is showing the same level of respect to Merchan that the “Judge” has shown for the criminal code and the concept of blind justice throughout this case: NONE!

'Are you staring me down right now?': Judge, Costello get heated
Tempers flared inside Trump's hush money trial between the judge and witness Robert Costello.
The judge excused the jury to speak to Costello about "proper decorum" inside his courtroom, telling him that if he doesn't like a ruling, "you don't say geez."
"If you don't like my ruling, you don't give me side eye and you don't roll your eyes."
The judge then ordered to clear the courtroom, before accusing the witness of staring him down.
"Are you staring me down right now?" the judge fired. "Are you staring me down right now?"
"Clear the courtroom!" the judge said.

FIREWORKS!!
Merchan says to Costello if he doesn’t like a ruling, don’t roll his eyes or say Jeez or strike it!
And if you don’t like my ruling, you don’t give me side eyes!
Costello says he understands.
Merchan now asks if he’s staring him down, asking loudly.
Judge and the witness leave the bench to go have what I’m sure is a spirited conversation behind closed doors.

🇺🇸 The Briefing Room 🇺🇸 🇮🇱
Donald Trump refused to pay a tech company that helped boost his position on a CNBC poll about the most famous businessmen in the last century because he only finished in ninth place, Michael Cohen testified.
"Mr. Trump’s name was on that list. And in the beginning of this poll, he was polling toward the very, very bottom and it upset him," Cohen testified.
Cohen said he called up Red Finch, a technology company, to assist in the CNBC poll to create an algorithm that would help Trump "rise, rise significantly in this poll." The scheme would have Red Finch acquire IP addresses to boost Trump's polling position.
Cohen said Trump gave him his permission to go ahead with Red Finch, but Trump ultimately finished ninth in the poll.
"He refused to make a payment," Cohen said about Trump, citing where Trump finished.
Red Finch was ultimately owed $50,000. Cohen paid the company $20,000 and pocketed the remaining $30,000 because Trump stiffed him on his holiday bonus, he testified.

Witness, judge getting after each other: 'Geez!'
Brief fireworks between the judge and Robert Costello just now.
When Trump attorney Emil Bove tried asking Costello about a conversation he had with Michael Cohen around April 19-20, 2018, Costello said he couldn't think about it at the top of his head.
Prosecutors objected to the question, and Justice Merchan sustained the objection — which irked Costello.
"Geez," he snarled, causing the judge to interject.
"I'm sorry?" an annoyed judge asked twice.
Costello kept quiet after that one.

Now an email exhibit up from Michael Cohen to Costello that says:
Robert,
Great news for Rudy. I know I owe you a call. I have been working with lawyers all day and just now am coming up for air. I will try you tomorrow.

Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump

After a few more sustained objections by the Merchan, Costello says, “Jeez” rather loudly.
Merchan said, “Excuse me?”
Costello apologizes.
