Lawyers and tweeting of the russians investigation, the president i dont know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job. I will tell you what. If i got impeached, i think the market will crash. I think everybody would be very poor. Reporter as Rudy Giuliani talked about rebellion. You only impeach him for political reasons and the American People would revolt against that. Reporter as for the white house has been saying manaforts pardon have not been under discussion. Sarah sanders came in and we have put it up on screen. This pardon is not something being discussed in the white house and the president has not made a decision on pardoning of Paul Manafort or anyone else. Wolf, you can look at how carefully worded that statement is. This discussion is not taken place inside the white house. Dems are running him up. No, mr. President , i am
Chris Matthews debates hot political issues with politicians, newsmakers and Washington leaders. Not to pay off women so his marriage would be in tact. But to get himself elected. That is an amazingly particular charge that gets to the heart of the president s lack of credibility. I am thrilled that you honed into that specific part of it. This is not just a pay off. It has to do with the campaign itself. When you have Something Like this, could Michael Cohen perhaps testify against the president of the United States. Who knows and we may never know. One thing that under lies testimony and makes Michael Cohen potentially credible here, is that we are talking about payments which means there are transactions which means there are records and documentation. Not own are the things that Michael Cohen allocate to are damning. But these are banking allegations, things that have

A look at breaking news, politics and reports from around the world. Yeah. I think thats a good point. On Paul Manafort, the former Trump Campaign chairman convicted yesterday on eight felony counts, bank fraud, tax fraud, stealing literally millions of dollars from american taxpayers, not reporting income on tens of millions of dollars, is there a chance hell still cooperate with the Special Counsel Paul Manafort . He has another trial coming up next month. Right. Look. If youre Paul Manafort, i mean, youre looking at possibly some serious jail time. There is an incentive. But i think what you are seeing is the president telegraphing directly to Paul Manafort, if you stay put, if you do not as he said, if you refuse to break, if you see that tweet that he he contrasts Paul Manafort with Michael Cohen its very clear that hes telegraphing to Paul Manafort that if he doesnt break with him that perhaps theres a pardon in the offing and you can see, also, by the way, Paul Manaforts legal t
Commentary, newsmaker interviews and panel discussions. Dicey, and they didnt come out of the campaign and thats big. If but its not even a campaign violation. If you look at president obama, he had a Massive Campaign violation, but he had a different Attorney General and they viewed it a lot differently. Sean while the media want you to believe that Michael Cohen, a central player in all things trump, the president at a much different take. Lets listen to him. Michael cohen. Tell me about your relationship with him. He was a lawyer for me for one of many the lawyer and then they like to add the fixer. I dont know where that term came from. Didnt do big deals, did small deals. Not somebody that was with me they make it sound like i didnt live without him. I understood him very well. It turned out he wasnt a very good lawyer, frankly. But he was somebody that was probably with me for about ten
years. And i would see him sometimes. Sean Michael Cohens attorney lanny davis says that his c
Commentary, newsmaker interviews and panel discussions. Finance violations. Far worse crimes committed by others. Earlier today, bret baier raises very, very important question. Lets take a look. Speak of Campaign Finance violation, because the way he phrased it, he was directed by the candidate to do that and submitted that money to be repaid by the trumpy organization, that is a direct liability. But i cany. Already see the bate lines being drawn here illegally because i just got an email saying the fact that he pleads guilty to Campaign Violations does not mean that the payments were criminal violations. This did not go to trial and you could have people like former fec chairman Bradley Smith saying that payment is not a violation, which is what Rudy Giuliani was saying in his interview earlier. So that, you can arty begin to the Trump Lawyers potentially, and others, make my case that this would not be a violation. Obviously the prosecutors. Sayig it is and Michael Cohen is on the
