than in the law courts on that issue, as they try to say that what has happened in the last couple weeks, people going to jail for these offenses, being sentenced for three years in the case of cohen, guilty pleas, are really not something people should worry about. you were the head of the fcc when you wrote this piece. explain why you think on the law say the president weren t a president. he was individual one who had, say, lost. let s say he d lost the election, and now he was facing this situation as a real estate developer. why do you think his case is weak legally? well, first of all, this is every candidate s worst nightmare. you do a lot of things in a campaign privately, behind closed doors, that you assume will never see the light of day. here, the people in the room are telling the world and federal prosecutors what they heard.

i m confident trump 20e8d me what happened, he s telling one but not the other? i obviously can t explain it. it s terrible commentary actually on this whole helsz fias fiasco. what should have happened is convene a meeting of the national security council, those directly involved, secretary of state, secretary of defense and get a very thorough debriefing on what happened maybe the president is playing favorites with secretary of state who he does have affinity with. but it s sad when the dni is cut out. and to dan s credit he s been honest and public about it. he has been. you mentioned president trump and now president obama in january, 2017, which in part was about that dossier. i know you personally weren t a
saying weren t a part of his job. to now say the president shouldn t be exposed to that is a hypocrisy. if this comes bch the court, there will be the opportunity for recusal motions. but the question here, and today is, is this someone who is going to be confirmed to the supreme court? that is an entirely separate question. and he s not going to be able to kme comment on what he would do in this specific case. no judge can comment on that. he will not comment on a specific case of controversy. we know that because that has become the established tradition, and we never get around to changing the process, because it always plays to the side of the benefit of those in power, and they don t want to stop that. we ve never had a circumstance like this one, chris. we haven t had a president who has been in this situation. we haven t had a president whose lawyers have taken these extreme and bizarre positions that we know what is the remedy here? he s not going to recuse himself. h
