weighing in on all things trump, including the prospect of impeachment. i hope donald trump is not removed from office by impeachment. because, it would let the country off the hook. and it would drive into the fabric of our nation a third of the people believing there was a coup. and we need a moment of inflection, where we all get off the couch and say, that is not who we are. and in a landslide, rid ourselves of this attack on our values. comey went on to compare the president to the mob bosses he once prosecuted. he also weighed in on trump s tweet storms about the mueller investigation and how it might be interpreted as witness tampering. i don t know how the special counsel thinks about it, but if i were a prosecutor and a public figure started attacking the credibility of one of my witnesses in a pending investigation, that s something that i would look at very closely. cnn national political reporter maeve reston is with
told us that they do expect to make at least part of this filing public. we re uncertain exactly how much we ll learn, but we will see some revelations. ana, unclear what kind of revelations we ll see, but it could have a big impact on the russia probe moving forward. ana. who knows how much will be redacted after what happened with the michael flynn filing earlier this week. jessica, we all await this anxiously. i want to also talk about michael cohen now. cnn national political correspondent mj lee is here to break that story down for us. mj, what are you looking for in today s court filings dealing with cohen? well, michael cohen is fighting for one thing. that is leniency. when he s sentenced next week, he wants to make sure he gets as little jail time as possible and his lawyers, in fact, are arguing for no jail time for michael cohen. what we re going to learn today from special counsel robert mueller is the extent to which michael cohen has cooperated. that has been a big pa
his life, until this happened, what a change he s gone through. what his family s gone through. the trauma for a man that s never had any accusation, any he s never had a bad statement about him. he s led i mean, i think he was number one in his class at yale. he was number one in his law school at yale. and then, what he s gone through over the last three weeks is incredible. i just think he s an outstanding person. i think he has been treated horribly. even if you are going to bring up some of the subjects that were brought up, they didn t have to treat him so viciously and so violently as they ve treated him. with me now, mj lee, cnn national political reporter. tracy shore is a neuroscience and psychology professor at rutgers university, who studies how stress and trauma disrupt mental health and women. and sara azari, white-collar criminal defense attorney. and sara, i just wanted to start with you. just listening to, obviously,
that have now gone through. and i think long after donald trump s presidency is over, don mcgahn s work to try to turn conservatives put conservatives on the bench for these lifetime appointments is going to be something that will live on. evan perez, thank you so much. i want to bring in a couple voices here. joining me now, cnn national political reporter mj lee, former federal prosecutor and criminal defense attorney john loro and former federal prosecutor in new york law school and professor rebecca royfee. does anyone know what is the typical tenure for white house counsel? not very long. not very long, it s a tough job. he hung through the first key 18 months of this white house. the fact is it was 11 days ago when reported out he had cooperated 30 hours plus with team mueller. do you read anything into the timing and the fact that we re also hearing the relationship not so hot. it puts him in a difficult
new jersey but also boarding air force one apparently on the way to the president s rally in in ohio. you recall earlier in year in february she testified before congress she told white lies on behalf of president trump. one day later she announced her resignation. within a month she left the white house. it s surprising to see her on the landscape again. but we know that president trump occasionally even officials that have left his campaign or left the administration he often keeps in contact with them. corey lewandowski is another example. we ll see if hope appears on stage tonight. i find it interesting because i i remember a few weeks ago the president hinted at maybe she wants to come back to the white house. perhaps more to that. thank you, as you continue to cover ohio where the president will be speaking in a couple of hours with the back drop of the drama around lebron james and the first lady s public opposition to her husband s tweet coming hours before that rally in ohio
