Why you re here is the judge wouldn t even consider what michael cohen asked him to consider. that motion faces a high bar because of my first amendment rights. the other thing that s important how many times have you invited michael cohen on the show or one of his representatives? michael cohen please come on the show. it s not as if i m the only person who gets invited on the show. michael cohen had david schwartz on a host of shows early on, until he put his tail between his legs around the time the fbi raided his office et cetera. they have the opportunity to come on the show and face you and others, they could go on fox & friends but they don t. they don t want to answer questions about the truth, the facts, and the evidence, period. how much time do you think we re looking at here with michael cohen if he is going to cooperate with the prosecutors because every day he doesn t
