mr. president, i ve got two more questions i want to try to get to. even the prep for this interview must have been extraordinary if there was any. typically in a convention counsel white house, you would have a team sitting down with the president talking about even putting this interview on the calendar. and making sure there was a goal that was trying to be achieved, a message he wanted to deliver to a particular audience. a memo a day or two in advance with the topics expect to come up in the interview. you would have an inperson briefing immediately before the interview where the president woesz gather senior members of his team, policy exterritories, you would have the national security adviser there to make sure he had the latest information he could convey on national division. in this case, it s clear the white house staff was watching the interview on television just like of else as trump paced the halls of the white house residence in his bathrobe. why do you think, senato
cabinet nominee. obviously you re not on the committee but you would have to vote were he to come to the floor. that has been withdrawn. what do you think of that? given the allegations against him, i have grave concerns he should be the doctor for the president at this point. certainly he had no qualifications to lead the va, an agency with hundreds of thousands of employees. and huge issues that need to be done to help and be our veterans better. i don t think he was qualified for that job. now given these allegations of drunken behavior, given not being prepared to help the president whether he he was needed, are serious allegations and puts into question whether he should keep his current job. do you have a unified theory why this keeps happening, about the sort of quality of the people around this administration about the accusations against them, about all with the drawn nominees? what is your operating theory what s going on? well, unfortunately, president trump said he wo
back. they weren t suggesting that somehow president trump was saying things that weren t true even though he was. it was will as if they were sitting there listening to somebody leave a rambling voice mail message, almost like mr. president, at the tone, please give us your thoughts about michael cohen. senator boxer, do you think your former colleagues in the senate watch this sort of thing and what goes through their head? well, i watched it. and i ll tell you what went through my head. i think fox & friends should give up doing their version of the news. and instead, they should become online therapyists. it s perfect. they can have people call in who are familiar sis cystic, paranoid, upset, frustrated and angry. and they ll do better at that. this was incredible. and in all seriousness, they looked so uncomfortable. and i ve never been on a news show when the person like you
work he does. guess who is arguing that, the southern district of new york is arguing that against michael cohen so the sdny on the ball literally amended their brief today to add in what trump said today. yeah, let me read from that. they come in and say they re arguing look, there s not really al attorney/client relationship here we have to be too worried about which is why it s fine for us to go through these papers. the president goes on air and says that s right. it s not much of a relationship. they say president trump said on television this morning michael cohen performs a tiny fraction of legal work. i m glad the sdny has television sets in their offices. i like the reportedly. allegedly. so you know, remember when this started cohen s lawyers claimed to the judge that they had thousands if not millions of printed documents seized by the fbi.
cases. first of all, he admits michael cohen is representing him and stormy daniels. we all kind of knew that. the biggest mistake he made today was he told the truth a couple of times. now that he s admitted it puts him right into michael abnatty s world which is not a world anybody wants to be in. now he is almost certainly going to have to testify in the stormy daniels thing now that he has admitted that michael cohen is representing him. so you think that was a final nail in the coffin. there is no chance for him to get out of and notty s world. that s bad for trump. second case he destroyed was the minimummysation of michael cohen. he went on to say it s but about business. it s a teeny tiny bit of legal work he does. guess who is arguing that, the southern district of new york is arguing that against michael cohen so the sdny on the ball literally amended their brief today to add in what trump said
