president be in if they re effective at proving that? well, i think the person who is likely to be in the most legal jeopardy here, possible criminal jeopardy, would be his lawyer, mr. cohen, who is the one who made the payment and, you know, claimed he did it out of his own pocket, but then claimed something about a home finance loan. we don t know, first of all, the source of that money. we don t know whether that was disclosed as a campaign contribution. if it wasn t, you know, that could be a possible criminal charge against mr. cohen. to put that on the president, you would have to show that the president knew about it and didn t disclose it. we re not there yet. certainly i m not saying that couldn t happen, but we re not there yet obviously. and i want to play a little bit more of karen mcdougal s sound last night. this is ms. mcdougal apologizing to the first lady. take a listen.
the really the complaint is that a fisa warrant for an important witness was based on information from someone that was on the payroll of the democrats. this person was investigated for months before that. the warrant also, the request for the warrant, the application did identify that the person did have a political motive, might be bias. i don t see it happening. the mechanism is now in place. 30 seconds left. isn t the idea of a special counsel though in this case, you had fbi and justice department officials who were telling a federal judge, you know, fisa judge, we need this warrant to spy on someone and didn t disclose that the dossier was financed by the democrats as you say and then it would be people at that same fbi and justice department that would be trying to investigate what happened? aren t they conflicted? i don t think so. they did disclose the person had a bias. the extent of the bias we don t
single question asked nor document sought on the 666 building or kushner company deals. nor would there be any reason to question these regular business transactions. i want to spend most of our time in this segment on jared kushner and what this means for the special counsel. but this indictment today of somebody, who, no offense, will most likely be forgotten. to me it s like the papadopoulos information, it just sets a marker. in papadopoulos case, i have someone cooperating with me. then general flynn turns, and i have someone else cooperating with me who is a bigger fish. in this case another person who lied, didn t disclose e-mails, and mueller says, that s the way you want to play? welcome to court. right. this is someone who is really tangential in terms of the personality and the character, much more so than papadopoulos is or was. but it certainly is a big red flare flag and a flare, i should say, to anyone and
there was this great skit on saturday night live over the weekend. does it even matter anymore? it should matter if a candidate paid $130,000 to a porn star, let s use it hypothetically for an affair and didn t disclose it, were those campaign funds? should those be considered campaign funds?3 should the fec look into it? i think there is the issue that needs to be answered about in-kind donation, but the political question is do people care, and the answer is there is a scandal du jour. there used to be soup du jour, with this president there is a scandal du jour. it s like going to the butcher shop, you have to take a number and a lot of us care more about russia and his racist comments and fixing immigration rather than if he got spanked on the butt with a forbes magazine. what i want to know is who was
showed. it s got to be the truth. reporter: he d been key in other cases, too. the newspaper recounted the story of a man who was sent to prison for murder after deaver s lab report suggested a stain on the man s car was the victim s blood. and it turned out not to be blood. wasn t blood at all. huh-uh, no. and deaver knew, and didn t disclose it? deaver knew that that was not blood and didn t disclose it. reporter: that man s conviction was overturned. gregory f. taylor is innocent of the charge of first-degree murder. reporter: and there was more evidence of questionable conduct linked to deaver. the newspaper investigation suggested that the methodology behind some of the blood pattern experiments he was involved in was flawed, designed to produce pro-prosecution results. like this test conducted for a 2009 murder case. deaver, videotaping the experiment, was attempting to match a blood stain on the shirt of the accused. oh, even better.
