he s certainly putting his eggs in the right basket. that s an easter reference. i saw that. we ve heard from stormy daniels. the question is why have we not heard from the president s personal lawyer, michael cohen, a strong advocate for trump and himself. his attorney will make the case for cohen, next. later, i talk to teenagers, including two from parkland about the gun issue and whether they think this movement will end soon. do you feel as though all the students and all of the momentum is a movement or a moment? that s coming up this hour. stay with us. -if you told me a year ago where i d be right now.
defamatory. the defamatory statement is in that complaint. right. that case will be dismissed on motions. that case is going nowhere. no discover sni. no discovery at all. a judge on defamation, a judge will look at that statement. it doesn t even pass the smell test. it doesn t come close to defamation. i m handling a defamation case for michael cohen against buzz feed. there are serious defamatory statements in that case. i hope we talk about that in the future. are you acknowledging that he was being defamatory about buzz feed, michael cohen? no we re suing. i m handling a legal matter. you re going to be one and done here, schwartz. please. we re suing buzz feed for the fake dossier of all the statements michael cohen was in russia, michael cohen was doing all these things. i d like to discuss that case at
timing, all right, that s all speculative and guesswork. but it has nothing to do it s correlative. it may not be causation. you hit t there s no causation. i m saying that s the issue. i m not saying there s no causation. that would be a dangerous precedent because every person running for congress why because any business transaction that s done could be considered a campaign contribution. do you realize how dangerous that is it would have to involve the principal of the candidate in this case and done in a way that seems to motivate the campaign during that time. when he created the llc. i know he says he didn t for this purpose. but whatever. when he created the llc. why did he do this when? because this is when it all went down. to create an llc avenatti says cohen went to here. he haavenatti makes no sense.
another time. i ve made that invitation to michael as well. whether he wants to discuss those things, he ll have an opportunity for that. the other exposure of how this deal went down. stormy daniels, her attorney, cannot bring an action against you for campaign violation. that would have to be the ftc. does he still main than that he paid this $130,000 of his own money and it wasn t done with eyes towards helping the campaign? first of all, avenatti is litigating that in his papers? what s his end game? you re right, it s a federal elections campaign issue investigation. it s ancillary to his theory of the case it was under duress and wrongly. bottom line is, $130,000 paid, it s pursuant to a contract, a legal contract. it s to protect reputation. it s to protect business and it s to protect family. it has nothing do with the election. timing?
of this that the daniels and avenatti case. one, this wasn t a legitimate agreement and two the damages clause is unconscionable. this million dollars every time they say it, it won t stand up in court and it wasn t a deal because trump didn t sign it. the agreement was between eclc and stormy daniels. why there was a contract, consideration, money paid to stormy daniels. rock solid agreement. there was a signature line for dd to give michael cohen the option if he wanted to make dd a party. he chose not to. two parties to a contract. signed, it was a quid pro quo between the two parties. money was paid. she s in violation of this agreement. agreements are agreements. we re gofrd which contracts in this country. when you violate an agreement, which she did, there will be a penalty. a million dollars per paneeny is a threat by avenatti.
