recording that i ever had of donald trump conversations. forget the recorded part. i ve had many conversations about payments to donald trump again. you re going in a very clever way. alison you re going into again conversations that i may or may not have had with the district attorney s and to be very honest with you. i don t want to provide donald or his team with any insight yet into what s coming. i want him to be able to enjoy it. but you did provide congress with some insight. and this is what you said about so called catch and kill schemes. here it is. these catch and kill. scenarios existed between david pecker and mr trump long before i started working for him in 2007. so if this long before you started working with him in 2007 what was different about the arrangements made during the donald trump when he was running for president. if this was if this happened long before 2000 right back into the same sort of scenario, these are, um potential. topics that may i may
trump stays as a candidate. she most certainly will. now his chances of winning the primary have dramatically increased. will we actually have a presidential election where one of the candidates is standing trial? what happens if he s convicted? these questions that we are just does the secret service as escort him from prison? if he wins, i mean, i ll leave the legal analysis to you , but thinking politically now it is awfully scary, and i say this as a democrat. we need to be judicious. we need to make sure that this process is separated from politics, and we have to make sure that we are considering the answers to these questions every single step of the way because nothing is for certain any longer your thoughts tonight. you know, omar, little from the wire had a phrase that everyone likes to repeat. which is if you come for the king, you best not miss. so i m going to assume that everyone else he has
pecker is cooperating, which is why he s cooperating and we get he was granted immunity by federal prosecutors personally, but in that nonprosecution agreement am i admitted that these were violations of the campaign finance laws and that they were made to influence the election. that was the karen macdougal payment, but they were all part of the same scheme. am i? david becker has said that this was for campaign was campaign believe why he was brought back and one of the key pieces of information that we don t know about, but i m going to be looking for is there some evidence some reliable witness beyond michael cohen, who can say donald trump knew about how we were accounting for these payments? could we don t know, but we heard the list of witnesses who went into the grand jury weather. kellyanne conway, hope hicks, david pecker if one of them can corroborate bolster michael cohen s testimony and say, not only, of course, donald trump knew about the hush money payments. but he was i
the questioning and the witnesses who were going in? no i mean, this is alvin brags office it he will operate this case the way he deems fit. to be honest with you. i had no idea that it was dropping today. myself. i was surprised. in fact , if you start to listen to all of the talking heads that are out there. you know these marvelous pundits that creates scenarios the end of the day. in all fairness, they ve been wrong. what they re trying to do is they re trying to guess what s inside the christmas box, but they don t have they have absolutely no idea. and that s a mistake. we have to allow the prosecutors to do their job. i get it. people want to see accountability, and we ve all been waiting for this accountability. that doesn t mean that alvin bragg or this team, and they re incredible. these prosecutors they re they re really incredible prosecutors. i can only tell you that they know all they have all the evidence they know everything by heart. and i do truly believe that this c
to prison? he went to prison twice twice. what will it be like next week for former president trump? you know, he s right now trying to play the tough guy. oh, i m going to, you know, make a spectacle out of this. first of all the grifter and chief is going to try to do exactly what he s been doing, and that s the fundraise off of it. i think he made over $2 million who are these dummies are that are giving their hard earned dollars for a guy who gets indicted. i m not sure i didn t see anybody throwing that kind of money. when i end up getting indicted makes no sense to me at all. however, we do have to acknowledge that he is a former president. and there is a certain amount despite whether he you think he should or should not receive that benefit. here s a former president of the united states, and there s a certain way that we should handle this. first of all, there s a whole slew of issues. yeah he still has secret service protection, putting handcuffs on somebody who s in the cust
