search warrants to go after a lawyer. it s remarkable that the search warrant they had to go through attorney/client, and get what they had. i would say given the news reports, just about the campaign finance, it was so clear that michael cohen was left under the bus, was thrown under the bus for a campaign finance violation we know this investigation was going on before that admission. also there s a lot of reporting about michael cohen s background, over a decade and all the work he was doing behind the scenes opinion it wouldn t be surprising if it was much more than campaign finance violations that prosecutors had solid probable cause for. john hileman go ahead. in the period of time that michael cohen has worked for the donald trump and the trump organization, it s the period of time that the trump organization was on its global expansion spree. we ve read a lot about the fact that michael cohen was the one who engineered the letter of
michael cohen might wear a wire to entrap you. so jay goldberg who knows these players, is saying something in stronger terms than michael avenatti has ever used. i think michael avenatti is watching michael cohen from the similar distance of the rest of us and doesn t know him the way that jay goldberg knows this situation. donald trump made that call because he values that advice and now donald trump has to consider that advice as he goes forward. i think he should pick up the phone and call somebody else. jay goldberg should not have been blabbing to the wall street journal about the advice he gave his client. that is attorney/client. so goldberg in my book is not behaving like a sane and sensible lawyer. secondly he gave trump the world s worst advice, suggesting he could choose not to sit down with special prosecutor robert mueller. that is false. it s not a choice. you can decide he doesn t want to cooperate, but eventually
nonexistent man. a toll con job. playing the fake news media for fools. michael avenatti has said that he s now thinking of suing president trump for liable. the legal quick sand that michael cohen is drowning in and dragging donald trump into was avoidable if michael cohen and donald trump followed my suggestion on this program several weeks ago and made the obvious choice to drop their civil case against stormy daniels. as the national enquirer showed today, a civil case is something each side is in control of. at any moment, each side can decide to quit and let the other have its way. that s what the national enquirer did today. better late than never. karen mcdougcdougal s story is
appointed mr. mueller. mr. goldberg who is r85 years old, said he suggested mr. trump add a well known new york lawyer to his legal team. the president then sought legal help in new york city and hired the law firm of spears and iams where his lead counsel is former federal prosecutor joana hendon. he said he warned mr. trump against submitting to an interview with mr. mueller s team adding it is a certain trap, don t ever do it. michael cohen s because of his roll in silencing women who had stories to tell during the presidential campaign against donald trump, he s also being prosecuted for bank fraud and arranging a $130,000 payment to
rosenstein, bob mueller, if he so chooses. i think what we saw tonight it s right to say he would not commit to not firing rosenstein or not trying to fire mueller. it s right that he was trying to present a picture of calm about it, but we know that as with the firing of jim comey, when the day comes when trump decides to make a move on any of these people, he will do it in a fit of peak, the one thing we know, although his peak from last week about rod rosenstein may have subsided, it will be back. the question is when. let s look at what house republicans did while james comey was actually on the view this morning. they actually managed to get themselves inserted right into the middle of the program. let s watch this. it appears that they are alleging potential violations of the law regarding the clinton and trump investigation. how do you respond? how do you respond?
