exactly a guy right now that s finding a lot of public commentary from anywhere that is four square behind him and singing his praises, at least to my ear. quickly, jim comey has said that he believes even if rod rosenstein is fired, it will not stop the investigation. do you agree? i think that there s a real possibility of that. what we saw today was the new york attorney general, eric schneiderman moving to try and ensure that he could continue any investigations, even if the president were to try to pardon people in this, so that people could be held to account for what they had done. i think that s right. this cannot just completely end. there are also federal statutes that would prevent the destruction of evidence. so it would be difficult to make the whole thing go away. we re going to squeeze in a break here. james comey has spent the week warming up for the big interview here tomorrow night
jay goldberg is making the obvious observation. it s the same observation that michael avenatti, who i ve been spending a lot of time with this week, i ve been with him for the last three days, he s convinced, as goldberg is, that michael cohen who donald trump did not take him to washington d.c. when michael cohen wanted to go, that michael cohen, who s going to be looking at significant jail time in michael avenatti s view and apparently in goldberg s view, that this man is going to stare down jail time and stand up for donald trump and say i m going to go to prison rather than roll over on donald trump who has not treated me particularly well, has not stood up for me in this case, has done a series of things to screw me over in this case and didn t want to take me with him to d.c. the notion cohen is going to be the tough guy and take the
donald trump s tentacles were tried to be spread all over the world in shady countries, with shady people. this is the stuff that michael cohen was doing. he was a biz-dev lawyer for donald trump in some of the worst parts of the world. so is it likely that michael cohen was engaged in activity that may be criminal or edges up to the line of criminality. that is worthiov investigation and serious criminal probing. that s undoubtedly true. the campaign finance violation opened the door here to the stormy daniels case but now we re in a different world and the problems the president is facing is because of those issues as prosecutors go through on whatever basis the privilege issues are resol fed. they re going to see a lot of stuff related to a lot of
slippery james comey and saying that james comey was not fired because of the foe any russia investigation. donald trump thinks we ve all lost that lester holt video that was two days after the firing. regardless of recommendation, i was going to fire comey, knowing there was no good time to do it. and, in fact, when i decided to just do it, i said to myself, i said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a madeup story, it s an excuse by the democrats for having lost an election that they should have won. the republican party has done something that no party has ever done before. it has set up a special attack website specifically to attack a former director of the fbi. this is the same republican party that james comey has been registered in most of his life. but not anymore. do you still consider yourself a republican?
trying to get the judge to block the fbi from reviewing documents received when they raided his home and office. during the case, judge wood was asking if michael cohen was a real lawyer and has clients that deserve attorney/client. the most important client, donald trump, was on the phone with his old lawyer getting an earful of who and what he should be afraid of. jay goldberg told the wall street journal that he told the president that because of the pressure the government can put on michael cohen there is more danger to the president from the cohen case than there is from special prosecutor robert mueller s investigation. mr. golden said mr. trump told him on friday that mr. cohen is very strong. jay goldberg wasn t buying that.
