rules, let alone the sitting president s lawyer, this is more than a far-flung fec campaign theory. you think there is some other indicia evidence of crime or conspiracy. i ve listened to that from your colleagues all afternoon. that is ridiculous. this is not a campaign finance violation. under the edwards case, that was a problematic case to begin with. it is a correctable offense. it is not that level of offense. they have evidence of some kind of obstruction of the process. and we re on the record on this show of reporting exactly why it is unlikely that you would bring a criminal charges based on the stormy payment to michael cohen. indeed, i ve had communications with michael cohen about our reporting on that front. i would say as someone who s given, you know, given that analysis once, what i m seeing tonight as a lawyer, along with your analysis is, something bigger than the fec is at foot. something bigger. let s take it to the next step. one of the reasons the justice d
