know, honestly, i think we can overstate the importance of ann coulter skpr websites like breitbart. they re sort of spoex pem for trump s base. for example, when trump first tried to propose a deal for daca recipients, up to 90% of voters in polls said they were now supportive of protection for daca recipients, which was a big change in their stance in the obama era. certainly reluctant republicans are ready to roll with him. p. for so long many republicans have described any protection for people approximately.
both giuliani and trump are untru untrust word untrustworthy. they both have a history of misstatements and lies, trump for his whole life, giuliani since he joined trump. so it s difficult to accept what they say, but it s clear that trump talked to michael cohen, that he had interest in the moscow deal right up to the edge of the election, and do you see that as potentially obstruction? the goal line is moved. i think it could be obstruction, i think we ll see a lot of obstruction of justice, and i think we re going to see a lot of collusion. i think the mueller report is going to be eye-opening to a lot of people who have unfortunately put a lot of faith into president trump. michael cohen also admitted, you know, that he lied about how late in the campaign he talked to president trump about the trump tower project in moscow. giuliani didn t even dispute that, but says it doesn t really
lawyers, all attorney-client privilege. but i can tell you this. michael cohen s lawyers believed him at the time. yeah. why wouldn t the president believe him? he knew what happened. he, michael cohen, was the guy in charge of this. i emphasize that. president trump was running for president. so when this comes down and everybody is in a joint defense agreement. you go to michael cohen and you say, michael, what happened? michael is going to remember a lot better what happened than donald trump where this was like this big in his recollection, and it s this big is michael s. right. but let me ask you a question this part you were the lawyer f for, for trump. in trump s written answers to special counsel robert mueller s questions, what did president trump have to say about the trump tower project? he acknowledged they had conversations about it throughout 2015, 2016 through november 2016, right? he answered those questions fully, and i think to the satisfaction of the
get fewer americans to blame him and more americans to blame democrats. if indeed mcconnell holds a vote, and even if he doesn t, trump will be able to say, and media outlets covered it this way, look, i made a good faith effort to compromise, the democrats are holding this up. but i don t know natural work. i think many americans will understand this was never a so-called compromise that was actually hashed out with democrats. this is a weak offer by a president who is playing off their hands. if they are going to make some sort of trade involving daca, it has to be a stronger offer regarding daca. it has to be some permanent fix, not a three-year band-aid solution. i think this is more likely a messaging effort, but i m not sure it will work even as a messaging effort.
counsel. so i m not at all concerned about that. he gave a full and complete answer to it. i can t share the whole thing to you, but i can share the conclusion which is he had conversations with michael cohen. but it was michael cohen driving the project as anybody who is being fair-minded would understand. he was running, i emphasize, as president of the united states. tied up 18 hours a day with that. if he could devote a minute a day to this, it would be a lot. so it would be a minute here, a minute there. your recollection of that is not going to be that strong. the guy running the deal is going to remember it. joining me right now from memphis is tennessee congressman steve cohen, democrat on the house judiciary committee. thank you so much for being with us on this sunday. let s begin with what we just heard from president trump s attorney, rudy giuliani. he says the president never instructed michael cohen to lie in this congressional testimony but does admit that they may hav
