juliette, in the new court filing from cohen s attorneys they say in addition to his interviews with the special counsel that cohen is cooperating with prosecutors from the u.s. attorney s office concerning an ongoing investigation. the new york state attorney general s office civil lawsuit against the trump foundation and state tax authorities. so how worried should the president be? because this is one he can t pardon anybody for, right? that s right. and this is part of the theory that renato and others have been talking about, that mueller has sort of dispersed this case to enough different courts in terms of different legal proceedings so that there s not one single point of failure. in other words, if trump fires mueller there s still going to be a whole bunch of other stuff going on. what you see this week is the panic attack trump was having quite publicly on twitter, is what i call what i ve been calling the 4 m problem.
so that there s not one single point of failure. in other words, if trump fires mueller there s still going to be a whole bunch of other stuff going on. what you see this week is the panic attack trump was having quite publicly on twitter, is what i call what i ve been calling the 4 m problem. it s mueller, manafort, michael cohen and now michael flynn. michael flynn has not been seen or heard from for a very long time. tomorrow is a big day. that is when mueller is going to show what michael flynn has been talking about for a year. michael flynn s sentencing hearing has been moved months now at this stage. so it s a really bad week. upon bad week upon bad week for donald trump. and i think what you re seeing publicly from donald trump is he s just run out of options. all he has is threats and maybe the potential for pardons for some of these guys. renato, according to this
laptop, the warrant had been executed at the end of september that he would not have felt the need to go to congress and notify them? that s a good question. what his mind-set was and he said this publicly is he told congress before the investigation was closed and now he felt compelled to tell them that s no longer the truth because we have reopened this investigation. i m the first one to look at what transpired and look with hindsight. we can t change the past but wonder had that laptop been investigated, had that search warrant been obtained hillary clinton might have been president, probably would have been president because if you look at what happened investigatively, the fbi in a matter of days was able to look at those e-mails and determine they were duplicates and no longer applicable to the investigation. let me say one last thing to what you just said because jake your question was did peter strzok s political motivation cost hillary clinton the election? ironically and
are they now putting into position sort of cyber protection that do not create 15 single point of failure. you want a notification system to ensure this does not happen again. it s not good it happened. we have vulnerable infrastructure, but we got to learn like this because every city is going to be facing stuff like this. go ahead, bill. just tackling on what she said, there s a piece of this is awareness. the first piece is when americans talk about infrastructure, they think bridges, roads, dams, and i think in the next year as the congress considers whether they we should have an infrastructure build, one of the basic questions is antiquated cyber protection, not just in dallas, but in my world of national security, you got to know that countries, north korea, iran, et cetera, are looking at cyber vulnerabilities in the united states saying in the event of war, cyber will become an instrument of war.
anxiety in the country right now. and absolutely. you look at 25 countries, what if you came from belgium and not on the list. see is there any more restrictions to put in place or the system in place adequate as long as we are more vigilant? it is it all about a layered approach. to try to prevent a single point of failure. you can t just have one analysis and said that is it, you are good to go. who do they know in the country? and what are their plans to be here? and the uptake in the resources to see if you are a threat. and we need more capability. and help the fbi. we should resource them more. great to have you on the program, more.
