as distancing from the white house, i mean there is not a whole lot mr. president trump could do, call off the investigation, which would create tremendous problems constitutionally as a matter of separation of powers or preemptive broad pard than in my mind first of all would be constitutionally suspect to the extent to which it was seeking to obstruct an investigation and secondly wouldn't affect any state crimes that mr. cohen might be liable for. his partner in the taxicab business already pled guilty to tax fraud. so it remains to be seen the breadth that mr. cohen can in terms of information the breadth of information he has to share with the southern district and whether that's going to bleed over into the mueller investigation. >> yeah. oswin, reporting too that part of michael cohen's motivation with the abc news interview might have been about the idea of changing the narrative in the court of public opinion about him. has it been changed? >> i don't think it has.
