Hannity employs several of trumps top lawyers while reporting on thep am and interviewing them without disclosing them. As recently as 2017 he tapped two prominent lawyers linked to donald trump. The top attorney who is left on trumps defense team in the Mueller Probe. Toensings husband recently joined the team and they both bowed out over alleged confli s conflicts. Hes trying to explain why he hires so many Trump Lawyers and hides the fact. Fact says they have surprise at this odd news and are backing hannity. Hes called the scrutiny on him corrupt. Yeah, i did have an Attorney Client conversations mostly over real estate. It is just so corrupt. It is such a double standard and it is so obnoxious on so many levels. Michael cohen never represented he in any legal matter. I never retained his services. I never paid Michael Cohen for legal fees. I did have occasional brief conversations with Michael Cohen. Hes a great attorney about legal questions i had. They never involved any matter, any, sorry to disappoint so many, matter between me or a third party or third groups at all. My questions almost exclusively focused on real estate. Pay no attention to the lawyerly denials fitted in there. Hannity did use sew hcohen for something and he still wants to keep it secret. Sean hannity does have the solid claim to Attorney Client privilege if he believed cohen was representing him at the top and would have the same privilege with the top lawyer. The bigger question is why hide it and why when you think about that drama yesterday. Why do they find themselves playing defense on controversy sparked by the Stormy Daniels saga and why do trump and cohen seem so incensed about whatever it is feds may have found in Michael Cohens office. A former principfederal prosecu. You see her discussions the prosecution of the Boston Marathon bomber. Nick, i again with you. If it wasnt bad, why hide it . It makes no sense because the privilege belongs to sean hannity. It belongs to the client. He could have simply decided not to do anything here because if he did nothing and he has nothing to hide and he didnt do anything criminally, this odds are this information on whatever in the files relate to him would never see the light of day. This stuff doesnt becomes public afterward. Theres no freedom of information act that would be honored. This is covered by grand jury secrecy. You have to ask what is going on here . Its one of two things. He was lending his name to the Michael Cohen defense so they could come up with another client and claim attorneyclient impressive lenl of a million documents they couldnt justify with trump and the other individual. Thats important. Thats door number one which is it relates back to trying to help trump which is a person here at the nexus of these two clients, if they are clients. Whats door number two . If hannity was involved in some criminal matter. Thats the only way any of this evidence gets out. We dont know anything like that to be true. We dont know anything like that other than it was involved in real estate. That could be trump tower. Almost all real estate but not only exclusively to real estate. Does this tell you something about fox news which is a powerful podium for donald trump . Its beyond a podium. They are working in concert. Fox news has ob lliterated betwn politics and tv. This is the game they played in new york city. They used New York Post when they wanted to. They used fox news when they wanted to. Now they are taking it to washington, d. C. And theres a lot of eyes on them. This is off the charts in terms of fox news, in term s of behavior, journalism and ethics which we shouldnt talk in the same sentence. Anybody who is surprised they are standing by sean hannity hasnt been paying attention to fox news. The only surprise is they waited 20 hours to give the appearance they cared about optics. They are all on board for this pseudo criminal enterprise were watching in the white house. Youre a student at fox news although youre one of those students angry in class. Youre studying but you dont lo like the class. When you look at this, why do you think it was important to sean hannity. Do you think he liked the association with the president through various counsel. Do you think he was not that creative and reached into the green room . I stop by for coffee. Sometimes you pick up a coffee. Sometimes you pick up counsel, two lawyers, whatever. Is it that . Its part of being in the inner circle. Part of the few people that trump will talk to. We know he talks he calls hannity for advice on the middle east about National Security and things like that. Its using his platform. These people are far more powerful with their tv jobs than they are inside the white house working for two weeks they dismiss them. I think its all part of being the power center. Dpe again, there are no boundaries for sean hannity. He doesnt think twice should i hire his fixer. Should i be part of this pseudo administration. Its astonishing. Its off the charts. Carmen, you have a lot of experience in complex litigation but this is a weird one. I dont know youve ever been asked the question should a prominent news host who interviews the president and his lawyer disclose he secretly employs those lawyers in the middle of covering that when they employi ining them. If was concerned about appearing objective and neutral and fair that might have been an issue. The reality is we all know that and appearances indicate that sean hannity is part of that inner circle. Hes constantly complimenting the president. The president compliments here. I think he wants to have it both ways. He doesnt want the appearance that cohen was representing him. It may well have been questions involving real estate transaction, investment tunts opportunities. He wants to protect those conversations. Hes indicating when he did have some conversations with him, they were sort of privileged and might have given him 10. That would have set up that attorneyclient relationship but he gouz out of his way to say Michael Cohen never represented him. Never billed him. Never handled any matter for him. I dont think they try to pretend to be have the degree of objectivity and hannity has not. He is very biassed in his reporting. Im not sure he considers himself a real journalist as opposed to an opinion columnist. Let me echo Michael Avenatti who viewers know has been involved in this. He was saying today the timeline he sees for potential charges in the cohen matter. Weve got a federal i investigation now into alleged criminal conduct by Michael Cohen. I think thats multifacetted. It looks at a number of different issues. I think theres little to know doubt he will be indicted in short within the next 90 days if not sooner. Were so engaged in what is a reality tv presidency you feel much less sexy. For the average viewer it feels like this is slow. The mueller invest dpaigation h been going on for ever. If youre watching one of the middle Television Shows with initials wed be halfway through now. This investigationcredibly quic. The comparison would be a long, drawn out multiyear investigation of Mafia Organization or criminal corporate entity. Those take years. I see youve been inspired by james comey mafia analogy. As much as i truly despise what this presidency has come to stand for, i take no pleasure this being able to make the analogy between the president of the United States and the mafia legal investigation. We ought to be calm whether or not an indictment comes in 30 days or 60 days. We ought to be calm like every other potential defendant has not been charged and even when charged is presumed innocent. Having said that, we like to gather all views on this show. I think viewers of the beat know that. We had the opportunity to sit down with the man who was Donald Trumps top lawyer before Michael Cohen. When you think about the focus over the last day he is under investigation for these serious federal crimes that include bank fraud. I spoke with jay goldberg who was Donald Trumps lawyer for many years up until cohen took over that role. One of the things he told me is even though hes a big trump loyalist, he sees criminal exposure for Michael Cohen. The most recent situation, i dont know if you realize that bank fraud carries a personality of up to 30 years and a 1 million fine. Thats a very big hammer to hold over a person. Youre referring to the pressure on the person who become Donald Trumps main lawyer after you . Yes. Do you think theres a case against Michael Cohen for bank fraud . I havent seen the proof but i think that the statute is so all inclusive that anybody who takes money from a bank claiming they will use it for purpose a and they use it for purpose b is a candidate for prosecution. As you fwhknow as a lawyer theres opinions of law and our view of what the law does. Some of it may be unfair. Sounds like youre saying this law is overbroad and unfair but youre saying theres criminal exposure here for mr. Cohen . It is. He went onto echo that he does see that. Do you share that legal analysis that these types of federal bank laws can be very tough on potential defendants and what is your analysis in the cohen case . They can be difficult. The bank fraud is line iying, u deceptive practices to defraud the bank to get the money. If he tried to get an equity loan or used an equity loan to make a payment for another purpose, that could constitute bank fraud. These are very theyre serious allegations now. He is presumed innocent. For the government to be able to obtain search warrants to search his home, hotel, office, safety deposit box. Thats a lot of probable cause. We dont know were talking about bank fraud but there could be other federal crimes implicated here. We dont know enough at this time. When you used to get these kind of warrants, youd have to show what to a judge . Actual evidence and leads . Youd have to show you had evidence to believe that the individual targeted, in this case Michael Cohen, is suspected of certain criminal activity. You have to specify what federal statutes have been violated and why you believe theres probable cause in the different places to be searched. Its not just showing the judge. Before you get to the judge theres this whole hierarchy of approval levels that you ever to go through within the u. S. Attorneys office and the department of justice because searching an office, an Attorneys Office is not a matter that is taken light by because of the attorneyclient privilege and other possible situations that can arise when dealing in situation like that. For people who host a tv show, you have attorneyclient privilege with most of your ques guests. Thats pretty standard. We appreciate your expertise. Some of our other repeat players, thank you all very much. Coming up, we turn to Stormy Daniels with a new 100,000 reward unveiling a sketch of the alleged man she claims threatened her on behalf of donald trump. Also my break down of Sean Hannitys disclosures and conflicts. Live on the beat tonight, Alan Dershowitz will shop chop it up get into the law.

Be ashame if something happened to her mom and then she was gone. That was probably the most significant thing Stormy Daniels allege that she was threatened to keep quiet about her link to donald trump. Today theyre releasing. A sketch that reflects the man who threatened her. Were offering 100,000 reward for information leading to this man. People go to idthethug gmail. Com. Even as Michael Cohen continues to deal with the criminal investigation into his work, this civil case against him and trump is still active. The list of women who silence cohen bought, that is growing. For a deeper look at these issues im turning to attorney nancy erica smith. Theres elements of spectacle and pr to this. Theres also a person, a human being that we see here in Stormy Daniels who appears to be standing by her word that shes not going away. She is. Shes tired of being bullied as she said today. I think after the metoo movement, a lot of women are feeling this way. She does not allege anything nonconsensual. I know. Thats really funny maybe because its the time type of work she does. To dangle a job out. When i got there i felt i kind of put myself many this situation so i have to go through with it. Thats a weird way that women are forced to consent. When she said no the second time, the job immediately was no longer dangled. Thats textbook sexual harassment. Sdp youre making an important point. Her interpretation is not to draw a legal allegation or inference of harassment or mistreatment. Youre saying you might come to a legal conclusion. Im not saying she has to change her view. Its important that we recognize it as the reasonable woman standard. Somebody who is an adult film actress might not be considered a reasonable women for purposes of deciding when youre a victim of sexual harassment. Very interesting. Let me play more of her on the view today. I would have gone to the police and would have gone a man approached me. This is what he said to me. He told me to leave mr. Trump alone and the very next question the detective asked me, why would somebody tell you to leave mr. Trump alone. I would had to answer that question. I would have to tell an entire Police Department and Police Reports are public record. I know that for fact. I had sex with donald trump. Shes describing the bind hes in for a situation that in the public realm people have gone on the take of sighing why didnt one immediately report everything. I think this was a really interesting interview. We got a lot more information that added to that 60 minutes interview. I think she was believable. I think she was compelling. One thing i cant figure out how to square is my colleagues who broke this story the reason were all talking about Stormy Daniels have done amazing reporting on how she had been trying to sell her story since 2011. They have published emails from her manager and she wanted the story out there. When she says she i would need to look at the timeline because were not talking about dates of this threat but i dont know how to square fact she was embarrassed to admit it yet and wanted to sell her story multiple times and came back during the 2016 election and was trying to sell her story. I find her to be very kre credible. The world has changed. I can imagine being very frightened. My clients who have sued powerful people. It feels scary. If we can connect the dots between this gentleman, i think thats an important element of understanding where Stormy Daniels was coming from. I also think many women dont think the police will be the best place to go. I can understand feeling terrified. I understand shes still getting threats today. Rachel maddow will be interviews james comey thursday night. I will not be missing that. We have the video to prover it. Theres a political analyst who has been on the beat who made this very prediction. Take a look. Donald trump, i cant believe this is coming out of my mouth but i think the person to have out played donald trump is a porn star.

So i go national, where i can choose any available upgrade in the aisle without starting any conversations or paying any upcharges. What can i say . Control suits me. Go national. Go like a pro. I do want to say i think you should have disclosed your relationship with cohen when you talked about him on this show. You understand the nature of it. Im going to deal with it later. It was minimal. You should have said pap. Sean hannity taking heat from all sides for hiding some of his links. That was legal scholar alan d dershowitz. He used other lawyers without disclosing their work and the top lawyer on Donald Trumps defense team who joins Michael Cohen in a secret club of hannity guests who do legal work for him. Let me guess. I go to go into finances and the fact that donald trump sold a property to some Russian Oligarch in 2008 and made a profit because the russians knew then he run for president and win. Is that how that worked ten years ago . Thats so beyond the mandate that is existence for the special counsel that our position would be they cannot reach any of those issues. Im joined by the man you saw there on television. Im going to sfepeak to our oth legal friend. I guess with you. I want to say to get it out of the way, youre not my lawyer. Well, we can talk about that. People come to me every day, hand me a dollar on the street or at cocktail parties and say i need you to give me a little of legal advice. I say having taught legal ethics for 35 years. I dont give legal advice except anybody but my clients. We have to a retainer agreement. We have to have an agreement that i will not disclose what you told me. You made the point we just showed about Michael Cohen. We learn that sean hannity used the Legal Services of jay seculo. You make full disclosure when in doubt. I dont think anybody believes hannity would have said or done anything different. He didnt substantively deceive his audience but he should have made the disclosure. Why do you think hes employing so many lawyers who work for the president . Because they all have the same interest. He can do no wrong and theyre part of a club. Im not part of that club. People try to lump me together with these people. Im an independent defender of the constitution. Im free to criticize donald trump as i have. I railed at President Trump and said youre doing the same thing theyre doing to you. Youre trying to criminalize political differences. No comey shouldnt go to jail and neither should you. Perhaps because of your career and status, you do dine with the president , which i believe you did recently. Im going to play this as well. You explained the only way he will get your advice. Take a look. Look, i dont give advice to the president except on television. If he wants to listen, he can listen. If hes watching fox or the beat he does hear from you. Whats most important that he do in the middle of this Mueller Probe . I was on television about clinton. Ive been on television about whoer everybody who has been charged with crime. What i said is dont pardon, dont fire, dont tweet and dont testify. Very simple advice. Thats four donts. The testifying is important. We learned a secret from comey. He said why did i write an exoneration letter of clinton before we interviewed her. He said an investigation wi make up our minds first. We figure it out and bring in the person like Hillary Clinton or donald trump to see if they will lie. Comey is telling trump. Hes telling trump, if you come and testify its only because we want to put you in a perjury trap. Thats a very good argument for why donald trump should not speak to special prosecutors if he can avoid it. Prosecutors say theyre not looking to do a perjury trap because they want to test someones veracity. Let he play something that james comey said. Hes involved in the Mueller Probe. Hes a major witness. James comey just said this. I think impeaching and removing donald trump from office would let the American People off the hook and have something happen indirectly that i believe theyre duty bound to do directly. People in this country need to stand up and go to the voting booth and vote their values. Does he show poor judgment this week in weighing in that way when the probe isnt over and hes a witness . Absolutely. If i were Donald Trumps lawyer, which im not, i would be jumping up and down for joy about comeys book tour. Hes going to have to be crossexaminaticross examined. You love to cross examine who have manuscripts and earlier drafts. Its the joy of a criminal Defense Attorneys day when he can get to cross examine a witness who has exposed himself in this way. If youre right that comey is hurting himself and i have reported on this show about some of the apparent lapses in judgment based on his own writings in the book. Why do you think hes doing this . I think he needs to vin s tse himself. I understand being hated by both sides. You feel you have haters . I know i have haters. You should read my emails. Trump people dont think im supportive enough. The trump people dont think im doing if you have. You ever tell them dont hate the player. Hate the lawyer game. They call med a communist. I defended the rights of nazis. They called me a nazi. Now they are railing against me because im supporting the constitution. First they come after the sobs. They establish the precedents and use it against the rest of us. I want to play for you before we go there, let me go there Michael Avenatti who is another lawyer who does appear on television. I dont know if youve seen his work. Hes making some big claims. Here he was today. Where is the intersection between your case specifically which is about invalidating an nda and the rate on monday . It could be way of money laundering, bank fraud or Campaign Finance vie lolationsv. Al capone was not convicted of murder. Hes convicted of tax evasion. Hes in a civil matter involving the president and michael clone. What do you think of him weighing in on this other criminal case and his lawyering up to this point. Hes making my point completely. You can find crimes anywhere if you look hard enough. Hes already looking and finding crimes. Money laundering, bank fraud. You can find crimes if you look hard enough. Are you comparing Michael Avenatti to the kgb . No. Im saying you can find crimes. Is he being an effective lawyer . He is. Hes being a tough lawyer, effective lawyer. Representing his client and hes absolutely right. Civil matters can turn into criminal matters. Ask bill clinton. I have to get into the famous collusion question because you have argued very forcibly that people overstate collusion as a process that isnt a crime. Take a look at this new report which nbc i want to be clear has not verified that says they have sources about mueller finding evidence that Michael Cohen did go to prague where theres an allegation he may hastrategized about email hacking. If theres evidence of that, would you say thats the kind of crime thats connected to collusion. Let me tell you it depends on what he means by russian hacking. If it already occurred and the Trump Campaign said oh youve hacked. Give us thfinformation. We want to use it. Thats like the New York Times publishing manning, snowden and the pentagon papers. We always learn a lot from you. Hearing about you, your haters. I appreciate you coming on the beat. Thank you. I want to turn to you. We went through a lot picking up on the prague point. This is a place where Michael Cohen would have exposure that relates back to the thing that mueller is investigating. Absolutely. He may have a perjury charge or charges added depending on what he said under oath around prague. Hes been quite vocal saying i didnt do it. I didnt go. We dont know. Certainly, if he did go, then the question is what happened there. What were the conversations. Its going to be a long process. I think its critically important that we do lot the process play out without making conclusions but i would say Michael Cohen has a lot to worry about. What do you think about sean hannity having legal work done by so many Trump Lawyers which is something i didnt know we would be covering tonight. Theres nothing illegal about who you choose as your lawyer. First of all, we want to make sure were not con flating that with the criminal vins gainvest. The fact he didnt disclose is problematic for our democracy and the notion well be told what kind of relations people have when commenting. I agree theres no secret to who hannity is friends with or not friends with. Its important we hold journalistic ethics like we hold legal ethics. The best part of coming on the beat is you learn things. Dont tweet, dont pardon, dont testify and dont fire prosecutors. I think its very sound advice. If i were donald trump and i think his lael team has been saying all the pov to him. All the above but he doesnt follow. He hasnt followed it. All you have to do is read news reports to know he would be in a stronger position today if he followed those three pieces of advice. Final word before we go. If he hasnt fired comey, we wouldnt be here today. I think the defense team has been focusing too much attention on the comey investigation about obstruction of justice and collusion where i dont think he has as much vulnerability as the potential vulnerability for prepresident ial activities of a business and an allegedly sexual nature. Prebriefly. This is where i do disagree because i think theres a lot more indication there may be some serious crimes committed and that it is critically important. I think we would be sitting here if comey had not been fired. I think the obstruction charge would not be one of the charges. And might not have arisen a special counsel. I want to give my thanks to the law firm of dershowitz and wiley. Well make it wiley and dershowitz. Even better. Thank you better. Up ahead, im going to speak to a special guest who is one of first people to predict stormny daniels might be trumps achilles heel. Because each day she chooses to take the stairs. At work, at home. Even on the escalator. That can be hard on her lower body, so now she does it with dr. Scholls orthotics. Clinically proven to relieve and prevent foot, knee or lower back pain, by reducing the shock and stress that travel up her body with every step she takes. So keep on climbing, sarah. Youre killing it. Dr. Scholls. Born to move. I think that the first person to have out played donald trump, i cant believe this is coming out of my mouth but i think the first person to out played donald trump is a porn star. That was foxs liz plank on this very set in january. Were you right . Was that like ten years ago or only january . I remember that night. We remember it too. Thats why we played it. Im glad we experienced that together and are experiencing tonight together. Every day feels like the twilight light zone. Theres been a lot of unexpected stuff. When you look at stormy dan yie putting this heat on, what does it tell you . Its really fascinating. Theres a potential here where history books remember Stormy Daniels as the woman who undid donald trump. Not just the president but the human being, the businessman. Due to this payments done that were made to women or made to media outletoutlets, the fbi ha raided cohens office and has information on donald trump that donald trump does not want them to have information on. The threat goes beyond him as a president but him as a person. His business, his shady business dealings. She seems to feel she knows him and got a read on him. She said im a better actor than donald trump. Interesting. Trying to silence Stormy Daniel may have been the worst mistake that donald trump ever did especially since we donald trump was accused of nonconsensual misconduct with so many women. Would it have made a difference if there was this story with this woman . You dont really know. You feel to your point this may be one of the assignments that Michael Cohen regrets getting the most for donald trump. Thank you. Thank you. Up ahead, we look at sean hannity o hannitys lack of disclosure and what the tape tells. Machine plap i thought i was managing my moderate to severe Crohns Disease. Then i realized something was missing. Me. My symptoms were keeping me from being there. So, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications. And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Sean hannity does not deny he went to Michael Cohen for legal dp guidance. I never gave him a retainer. Never received an invoice. Never made any fees. I might have privilege on this Something Like that. I requested that privilege with him. He might have handed him ten bucks. Legally, the moneys not the factor. If he does believe he was seeking legal advice, and the privilege could attach unless its an effort to abuse the privilege or hide some other crime. Han sit says his relationship with cohen was minimal and minor. We dont know as of this hour exactly when those ten bucks may have been handed over or when this exact legal relationship blossomed. It turns out Michael Cohens secret client is shoean hannity which is not a good look. Right now hes probably on the phone, its so weird how i used the guy who pays off mistresses to pay off parking ticket. Shockingly that he ever client turned out to be sean hannity of fox news. Client number three. Isnt that interesting. Im thinking of hiring michael for my lawyer. He only has three clients. Apparently he doesnt take money from any of them. Thats a big detail to leave out, sean. What else havent you been telling us, that you share a barber with the lego man. Snap. There are other details we dont know at this point. We know hannity was a client of cohens in this period of 2017 till this year which would meanwhile trump was president and cohen made at least ten different big, primetime appearances on hannitys tv show, five in 2017 with the last appearance in april of last year with trump in office. We havent found at any point that sean han stit estimated up and honestly disclosed the legal relationship to his viewers. He did disclose a friendship. Michael cohen, you told me day one hes going to win. I did. I was on a competing station on their show. Theres no competing station, michael. Theres no one that competes with you, sean. Who would have thought there could be two Michael Cohens in this world. I never heard that name before, one of my best friends growing up, Michael Cohen. A lot of people asked me because they know weve been friends a long time, why isnt michael going with the president elect. Have you decided . They here for a good time or a long time in april of last year, to be clear, trump was president , the two of them actually joked about language that was used by some on the left. We dont even know, this is super interesting, the beat producers found this, we dont know if hannity was cohens client at this point. Listen to the exchange more striking with this new news. But michael, if i use the same incendiary language, somehow i dont think it would bicycle. It would be you would be off the show. Thats certainly for sure. And possibly have to leave the country. Again, the level of disrespect. I would hire you as my lawyer. You would keep me in. I would try. Id hire you as my lawyer. That joke itself may have been a lie in realtime because he did hire him as his lawyer and did not disclose it. Then he went on to use his power and sean panty has a lot of influence to rail against the fbi raid on his lawyer, Michael Cohen. Mueller is out to get the president and it appears at any cost. Heres what happened. Upon referral from special counselor robert mueller, the fbi raided the office, the home and the hotel room of mike it will cohen. Cohen was never part of the Trump Administration or the Trump Campaign. This is now officially an all hands on deck effort to totally ma line and if possible impeach the president of the United States. What people are not understanding here is when the special counsel raids the offices of the president s private attorney, mueller is now basically backdooring his way into every single trump business deal. Meanwhile, when sean hannity was covering other people in the meeting he said did not disclose their links to political people they reported on, guess what. Sean hannity chided them for not being transparent. George stephanopoulos, first recorded hes given 50,000. Now theyre saying 65,000 to the clinton foundation. And he didnt publicly disclose this while he was reporting on the clintons and the clinton foundationing. While he was reporting on them. Sean hannity arguing it was obvious that steven op plos, a fellow news anchor should have disclosed the donation which benefited the clintons while covering account clintons. Stephanopoulos apologized and said he should have disclosed the donations to abc news and viewers. Do you think, george . Maybe you thought you would get away with it, you wouldnt have gotten caught . Wouldnt have gone the caught. Tonight, having gotten caught, now hiding his employment of two the different Trump Lawyers while reporting on trump and those very lawyers, you see it there, you see hannitys standards, his test. Hes failing his own test. Instead of owning up to this disclosure, hes now just blaming others, his radio show today. Yeah, i did have Attorney Client conversations can mostly over real estate.
