trump. i can t see your face, i m looking into a blank camera. why must you feel the need to insult me personally to make a case. i m not insulting you, you re insulting me, and you re insulting the president of the united states. i am not. i m not taking a shot at them, i m thanking them. they re now paying for the president s attorneys fees. i m thanking them. i want to thank them, that their money is going to a great cause. it s going to pay let s get back on point why the lying matters. don t call them facts. look, you don t have to like it. incontrovertible facts. that s what they are. you re reading, you re reading a document, and by the way, federal election you made your point. campaign finance experts today no, campaign finance experts today said there was this was an aggressive prosecution, a very aggressive liberal reading of the campaign finance laws in the southern district. you have to know that
insulting me, and you re insulting the president of the united states. i am not. i m not taking a shot at them, i m thanking them. they re now paying for the president s attorneys fees. i m thanking them. i want to thank them, that their money is going to a great cause. it s going to pay let s get back on point why the lying matters. don t call them facts. look, you don t have to like it. incontrovertible facts. that s what they are. you re reading, you re reading a document, and by the way, federal election you made your point. campaign finance experts today no, campaign finance experts today said there was this was an aggressive prosecution, a very aggressive liberal reading of the campaign finance laws in the southern district. you have to know that michael cohen pleaded guilty to it, david pecker admitted that they did it. he pleaded guilty to a lot of things. why plead guilty if he didn t do it. why would david pecker say he did it if he didn t
