"In defense of his case, McFarland argued that Swift knew Mueller did not assault her but accused him nonetheless. Swift was visibly outraged by the claim, glaring at McFarland, throwing her arms in the air and looking back toward her father, brother and publicist, who were seated in the gallery."
McFarland should have kept his mouth shut at this juncture. All he did here was antagonize Swift and most likely push her not to drop her counterclaim. 
I am doubling down on all by gentlemen's bets here that Mueller is going to get slaughtered here and his attorney is helping me win.
