Cohens attorney has told cnn he believes his client would be willing to testify before Congress Without immunity. Juan, i come to you first. Democrats have talked the word impeachment. And im curious, now, if that will stay in the Mow Nomenclature for you, or youll see where things shake out . I dont think there is avoiding the reality when you have the president s personal lawyer say in open court in the course of his plea that the president was involved with this, and then you have the repeated contribute,s or changes in stories coming from the president , that his political opponents would say, well, is this meri
