bolton releasing a statement, well-established russian saying, quote, the president interference, not just in america s democracy, but on all believes that the next bilateral western democracies, as a matter meeting with president putin should take place after the of fact. look, the indictments that the russia witch hunt is over. so we ve agreed that it will be special counsel, director after the first of the year. mueller, issued for the 12 uniformed members of the russian now, we don t know whether the russians have agreed to that or intelligence services is a master piece of criminal not, they haven t said. but after the first of the year investigation. and i confidently predicted it is a big change from this fall, will go down in the history which is what the white house books as such. announced on twitter. to be able to trace their names, so why is this meeting suddenly on ice? well, our jeff zeleny asked. recreate the paper trail, as it were, is brilliant detective mr. presiden
syllable. it doesn t sound like a word that would be like don t. it sounds more like more. it s a different kind of sound. but he does say pay by cash? and then cohen says, no. no, no, no, no. and it goes from there. i mean, john, i guess this is the big question here, when you hear this tape. could this explain why president trump waived privilege on the conversation. because you have experts even like paul, it doesn t assignmse there s a clear-cut answer of what was or what was not said. ultimately, this payment also to the best of our knowledge was never made. so is this trump i m sorry, is this tape bad for trump or not? well, i think it is bad for him. and i think that s why they did release it. they didn t want to get into litigated the crime fraud exception, or hear any of the surrounding evidence about this conversation. but clearly, this is a conspiracy in progress, of some sort. to keep trump s name away from
between, asking hard questions there s a lot of evidence there. and i think there s a lot of reason for trump to be concerned of the secretary of state, about about all of those years and all this very important matter. in other words, they were that evidence. attempting to fulfill their asha, here s the thing. nobody looks good in this who s constitutional responsibility for oversight and to hold the involved with it. let me just be honest about president accountable for this that. but the president tweeted earlier today, in part, what kind of lawyer would tape a virtually unprecedented action. as you point out, it was client, so sad. democrats and republicans that is this a first? we just saw there, even in those never heard of it before. he has a point. clips, which michelle just lawyers are not supposed to do played. this, asha. look, to all of us, what what type of lawyer secretly happened in that meeting between putin and trump is a complete records conversations with clients
media because of the questions that i asked and that they believed they were inappropriate and inappropriate for that venue. i reminded them that often these pool sprays are often the only time we are able to ask and to pose questions to president trump. now, he certainly has a right to not answer those questions. sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn t. today was one of those days where he didn t. but then it turned into a much larger event with the white house then saying that i would not be allowed to go to this event, to the rose garden, and every other reporter was allowed to go to. and then they denied to ban us from going to that event, simply because they did not like the questions that we asked president trump, which i should note, one of those questions about michael cohen is something that the president himself was tweeting about today. right. he did tweet about it, right? as we were just reading. saying, what kind of lawyer would do that, bad. he seemed happy to weigh in
but the proposed second meeting that was supposed to be this exact same piece of tape. fall according to the president so you slowed it down, and i is not going to happen this want to play what you did so year. they re saying it s being put on viewers can hear. ice until after the beginning of the year when the quote, russian so what are we going to pay, witch hunt is over. do you buy that excuse? so, i don t think the first funding? meeting should have happened, yes. given the context with where we and it s all the stuff all are with russia right now. the stuff. because here, you never know but secondly, i m not at all where that company, never where convinced that there was ever going to be a meeting second he s going to be. meeting. you know, the president has a maybe he gets hit by a truck. correct. so i m all over that. and i spoke to allen about it. when it comes time for the financing, which will be wait a sec, what financing? we ll have to pay pay with cas
