Thank you for joining us tonight. The conspiracy of dunces. Thats the focus of tonights angle. You know its bad for the trump Hush Money Prosecution when the New York Times feels compelled to publish a piece calling out the cases weakness. Jed sugarman a Law Professor at Boston University called alvin braggs case an historic Mistake Writing their vegas allegation about a criminal scheme to corrupt the 201 president ial election has him more concerned than ever about their unprecedented use of state law and their persistent avoidance of specifying an election crime or about area of fraud. Thats all. Now, beyond that he rightly notes that it is legal for a candidate to pay a nondisclosure agreement. Pay for a nondisclosure agreement, hush money is unseemly but it is legal. All right. Bottom line here. As honest objective legal minds have concluded, the underlying conduct alleged, in figure, is a violation of federal Campaign Finance rules. But, one little problem with that. The fec looke
You say, it may well be part of the president s legacy. That is it for Tucker Carlson tonight. I want to thank our intern, caitlin, who is going off.

The investigation. Is that right . Thats correct. And you have a citation . Page seven, volume two. Thank you. One of these witnesses was michael cohen, the president s personal lawyer, who ultimately pled guilty to Campaign Violations based on secret hush money payments to two women the president knew and also to lying to congress about the hope for a 1 billion trump tower deal. After the fbi searched cohens home, the president called him up personally, he said to check in, and told him to, quote, hang in there and stay strong. Is that right . Do you remember finding that . If its in the report as stated, yes, it is right. Yes. Also in the report, actually, are a series of calls made by other friends of the president. One reached out to say he was with the boss in maralago, and the president said he loves you. His name is redacted. Another redacted friend called to say the boss loves you. And a third redacted friend called to say everyone knows the boss has your back. Do you remember
anyone lower level handling this? they want the attorney general himself, or the secretary of state, whoever it is, the president getting on the phone with some of these foreign allies to say, you guys, your countries are connected in some way to this investigation, and we want to know what you know. there trying to get back to the origin and how we started. we don t know what they have learned so far, but it must be serious enough that the attorney general himself would get on an airplane and go there. that doesn t pretend very well for democrats. and remember, mifsud supposedly supposedly at least there is reporting on there that he had engaged, and actually done some work for the department of justice in the past. the core question is how do you follow the money? did somebody put him up to this? was he paid to do this type of thing? there is enough questions raised, and his name is more than a dozen times throughout the mueller report, there is a reason and it may not all
interviews him, he lies three times, and yet you don t charge him with a crime? congressman jordan went on to remind the hearing that paul manafort, trump lawyer michael cohen, and former national security advisor michael flynn were all charged with making false statements, but not mifsud. back in april, george papadopoulos, who admitted lying about his meeting with joseph mifsud, told shannon bream on this show that he wasn t the only one lying. look. the only thing i will state is the person i apparently lied about, joseph mifsud, was lied to the american public and called a regiment begins, when we found out he was actually likely working with the fb fbi. democrats called the claim baseless bid separately, we should should note william barr is interested in italy because in 2016, that s what fbi agent in rome received a copy of the salacious and unverified steele dossier. shannon? shannon: a lot to untangle
