it s another to get witnesses in their own words. telling you what happened. of course that s what makes things come alive. for members of the congress and the public. we re a democracy. the people govern here and they want to know what happened. they want to give due process to the president but want to know what s been taking place against the people of the country. we need to know this in detail and add vividness to the story. so people understand it. they don t want a game of telethon. they want it directly. the american people have responsibility to do is the idea of voting. you have to clock ahead. 2020 election is upon us. are you afraid there s going to be a deadline that you didn t anticipate that will run out the clock on the idea of even inquiring about this process? well, sure. think of it this way. in america there s always
and so the lawyers and what they know, i think, is actually quite relevant to what he s presenting. there s also the fact, we ve now got these checks. and there s just this sort of shocking fact that, you know, the president of the united states, he and his trust are cutting these checks as he s in dish mean, as he s in the oval office. and i guess my question, this is such a basic question, but i want to ask both of you. like, if you are a lawyer anywhere in the vicinity of the president of the united states and knew this was happening, what would you be saying? harry? you know, i d be i would be too busy having to put out the six different fires that happened that day. i would be saying, are you crazy, and it failed maybe weisselberg to say, are you crazy? but nothing like evidence. it paints this vivid picture of taking a phone call, signing a dirty check, having a meeting, signing a dirty check. it s got this vividness to it. but the whole this is the follow-through on the
happened that day. i would be saying, are you crazy, and it failed maybe weisselberg to say, are you crazy? but nothing like evidence. it paints this vivid picture of taking a phone call, signing a dirty check, having a meeting, signing a dirty check. it s got this vividness to it. but the whole this is the follow-through on the whole dirty deal. it shouldn t have been made that way in the first place. so, you know, yeah, they should have arranged for somebody, somehow, to sign the checks reimbursing him, but they wanted to keep it, remember, in this small circle. it s basically at this point, weisselberg, trump, and cohen. and, you know, those at that time to trump, are trusted soldiers. right. cohen s gone now and weisselberg, you know, he s going to get immunity and he s not the kind i think willing to take a bullet at age 71 for the president. this goes to show that from the beginning, this was not your standard political operation, right? this wasn t operating the way an
because you get a fight or flight response, and you get a surge in the stress hormones, and under that influence the brain retains the memory with a vividness and persistent which is unlike everyday memories, what you were wearing and what you had for dinner and what happened in the morning and what you did in class that morning, you will not remember those things but will not forget your attacker. when you saw christine blasey ford say she was 100% certain during that hearing, you thought that was legitimate? i thought it was legitimate and credible, because she never forgot it. this was an event that she never forgot to start with. brett kavanaugh was a social temporary of hers and had interaction with him outside of that event. that important because some say i have no doubt something
is this just the straw that broke the camel s back? i think it is partly what jon said. the fact of hearing and seeing it in realtime and seeing the contrast between the talk inside of the bus and then this gentlemanly demeanor when he gets off the bus and starts talking to the young actress, that has a young vividness. over the last year, many of us in discussions like this around the country wonder why things that would have stopped any previous candidate had not stopped donald trump. and this started i think when he was making fun of john mccain as a loser for having been captured during the vietnam war and then mocking a disabled reporter and on down the long list. so i think we had sort of developed a sense of anything was going to be possible for the people who were really for trump and for reasons that i m sure will look back when considering this election, suddenly this was the thing. it wasn t the mexican judge or build the wall or no taxes, it wasn t the thousand other thin
