first question is, oh, yeah? show me. when is this going to happen? second question is, is michael cohen talking with prosecutors about a potential cooperation deal to lessen his legal jeopardy to help prosecutors with information that they could use in other cases? that s what everybody is watching. i m not going to give you, we re chasing that story as hard as everybody is. everybody is chasing the same story. that potential drama of the president s white house counsel don mcgahn and his personal lawyer michael cohen, not just getting lawyers themselves but potentially enthusiastic witnesses in cases involving the president? yeah. there s a reason everybody is chasing this story so hard. but here is something specific to consider. late last week, there document was filed in federal court in
case is proving what the president did was with an intent to obstruct justice, to impede the investigation. and don mcgahn had a ring side seat for that intent and was involved in these various acts that trump did: firing comey, demanding that mueller be fired and actions taken against rosenstein. if you take a step back, you have got a white house counsel now talking to prosecutors. you have got someone running around that taped the west wing. you have a president with an enemy s list. we are a few away from a re-make of the 1970s. this looks like the nixon white house all over again. i want to go to something the president said in an interview with routers today. and the president arranged this interview. i think it is fair for us to consider that it might have been arranged in direct response to the new york times reporting
experts believe that. if he fired comey for corrupt reasons, if he asked comey to go easy on flynn for corrupt seasons and if mcgahn can help mueller establish that, that s obstruction of justice. you can t charge a sitting president, but i think we are moving towards a comprehensive report that will go to congress that may be more damning that we can imagine sitting here right now. i m glad to you went back to the president s tweet. which is just the most disgraceful thing that this president could possibly say about bob mueller as a person. if he wants to criticize his prosecutorial work, that is one thing. but i m so glad you went back to that. also, ken, this point that the president is the white house is putting out tonight, clearly coming from the white house to the washington post that don mcgahn s lawyer told us he did not incriminate the president, that could mean anything.
don mcgahn can be a crucial witness. and this story in the washington post where sources are suggesting he didn t incriminate the president, i read that as this is the giuliani philosophy that the president can t obstruct justice because he can fire whoever he wants for any reason. i don t think that robert mueller believes that or legal experts believe that. if he fired comey for corrupt reasons, if he asked comey to go easy on flynn for corrupt seasons and if mcgahn can help mueller establish that, that s obstruction of justice. you can t charge a sitting president, but i think we are moving towards a comprehensive report that will go to congress that may be more damning that we can imagine sitting here right now. i m glad to you went back to the president s tweet. which is just the most disgraceful thing that this president could possibly say about bob mueller as a person. if he wants to criticize his
