because we don t have that sort of media system anymore. it s not that way. but i think people will watch, and i think some minds will be changed and others, it won t matter to them because they ve already made up their minds. but at least the information is out there, and we re going to get to hear from those who are involved. we ll see you tomorrow night, laura coates. looking forward to it. bye, don lemon. bye-bye. just in to cnn, federal prosecutors now have an email revealing the trump campaign told so-called fake electors in georgia to keep what they were doing a secret as they tried to overturn joe biden s win in the state. we re going to have much more on that in just a moment. this is just coming in to cnn. more about it in just moments. it comes during what just might be the week when we see whether we can come together as a country and still have a functioning government. can we do something finally to solve gun violence? it may come down to what four key s
i want to know what has taken so long. i want to know if they re going to be able to satisfy the american public s appetite for new information in light of books that have been put out, the impeachment hearing as well. there s a lot of things to talk about, and i am really eager to understand how they re going to have the legislative and oversight function, and really are people going to watch? that s the biggest question. are they going to watch with an eye towards validating this committee? yeah. i think people will watch. i don t think it s going to be, you know, watergate, right, because we don t have that sort of media system anymore. it s not that way. but i think people will watch, and i think some minds will be changed and others, it won t matter to them because they ve already made up their minds. but at least the information is out there, and we re going to get to hear from those who are involved. we ll see you tomorrow night, laura coates. looking forward to it
And again that matters. Because the question being raised whether past the point of anger which hes allowed to feel and into something that involves a vendetta where the truth might be sacrificed. Or lied about that history. He said he did ask to be President Trumps personal attorney, but not a different rule of general counsel. It went on and on like this today, if you will. Ke this just like it did the other day. And so its possible or dilute the larger. Defense attorneys are trying to make, but that they are trying to raise. Its possible on the other hand, and i was watching Michael Cohen go through it, that the cuts can slowly eat away as the key witness to Donald Trumps State Of Mind. Another way to put this is without the other money guy, Allen Weisselberg, who is in jail can certainly make trump look bad here in the real world.
