What the special council s office did shows the absolute integrity of that office. they didn t say, let s see if we can fix this, obviously this was an important witness to them. he s someone that maybe they were going to indict other people, because of his testimony, but they didn t just brush it under the rug, they didn t say they could work with it, they said what they re going to do, which is rip up his agreement. they re doing exactly what they should be doing as respectful to the prosecutors. mueller s team is doing what they should be doing. but we as the american people we as spectators to all this, i think it s irresponsible for us to jump to conclusions. 100%. just because mueller finds some use in michael cohen that automatically what he says is gospel, what he says is the truth. i agree. there s no reason to exaggerate effect. when you look at, piece by piece, i heard something very interesting today that s getting ....
This is how they verify what a corroborating witness is saying. i agree, i don t think they should take what cohen is saying as gospel. sure, tell me it, just because they sign a cooperation agreement doesn t mean they ve taken a truth serum. you can verify what they say. these things go sideways very quickly. and we saw it with manafort. very important witness, he was cooperating. they wanted his cooperation. and now all of a sudden they don t. he wasn t trump s boy for a decade. well he wasn t trump s boy for a decade. the other night you were telling me how much manafort was so tied to the president. well, he wasn t campaign chairman. you can t have it both ways. sure, you can. manafort matters because he was the campaign chair. cohen matters more, because he was watching trump in action for over a decade. he audiotaped his clients as ....
Project. michael cohen, what he s doing is he was convicted he was convicted of various things unrelated to us the issue is not that the project never came to fruition. it s that it was in the works at a time when the president said he had no business with russia, no investments. not doing the deal doesn t excuse the president from lying about trying to get a deal done. and the president just said he decided not to do the deal. that s key. why? michael cohen had said originally when he lied to congress, that he decided that the deal was dead. that gave trump cover. trump s argument right there that he was busy with the race, he wasn t paying any attention, he didn t know anything about this. if that s true, how could he be the one to pull the plug? was he involved or not? lastly, cohen was not convicted of things unrelated to the president. ....
The question isn t whether the president did something unethical, the question is whether we should overturn the will of the people. that bar ought to be very high. very high. when madison was working on high crimes and misdemeanors on impeachment, they were worried it would be used as political pay back. you can t have that. have you to meet a very high bar. what that is is different in every situation. thanks to both of you, gentlemen. i appreciate it. i ve told you before, some of the talk some of the posturing, some of the behavior that we ve seen with the president and those around him throughout this process, seems almost mobbish, seems like a caricature of a mob movie. the language sound. that is offensive to even discuss. it does have a flavor of the sopranos, what they see as weak and who s a rat. what s strong and the guy did me favors, it s like stuff i used to hear on the corner and i would be rushed ....
Another issue, can cohen assist mueller in showing he knew plenty about that deal? the big question now, what else does cohen know that mueller finds credible? what do we know about cohen? he never went to the white house, but he was in trump s office when the campaign was largely run out of it for a long time, and he was with him many years before that, what the president may know about the trump tower meeting with a russian operative, when the wikileaks e-mail dumps were coming, could all be in cohen s wheel house. and remember, cohen can just be a corroborator, adding to what others have told mueller. he s seen 100 people. he also has some kind of deal between the prosecutors and the chief financial officer of the trump organization. so while not a primary source, michael cohen or others could offer documents, anecdotes, proof that the president says ....
