Nearly as important as michael cohen is in terms of trump. john dean was not that close to richard nixon. he had some important meetings with richard nixon. but he was not his personal lawyer. some people view the john dean comparison as a potential inflation, as a dramatization. you re saying it doesn t go far enough to capture just how much michael cohen knows about donald trump? that s exactly right. michael cohen is much more intimately involved with the day to day activity of donald trump and was involved. nowhere near as close as john dean was. in fact, if you look at even the other two cooperating witnesses that are involved, michael flynn and deputy campaign manager to m manafort, they re much higher up in the food chain than john dean was in terms of having day to day contact with the president. ....
So i still think at the end of the day whether it is february 7th or not, cohen will be talking about all he knows about donald trump s russian connections. and there was a very interesting line. i think you and you talked about it. in the mueller sentencing memo about cohen that came out a month ago or so. can i go through this quickly? cohen provided the special counsel with useful information concerning discreet russian related matters core to the investigation that he obtained by virtue of his regular contact with company executives during the campaign. executives. yes. plural. that is donald trump and who knows, donald trump jr., who else works with the trump organization? so there is still more to the trump-russia story that michael cohen can tell us and whether it comes out on february 7th or not, i believe democrats and the house will get it and eventually the public will learn about it. what do you think, david, ....

Disproportionate injustices and issue that i hope i will bring to the attention of the american people as i did first on your program. you mentioned two things. one is as you say how the federal prosecutors in new york handled this and the sentencing. that is something we ve been reporting on. and discussed with you. let s take both of the two points you just raised. first, you re referencing the fact that in addition to tonight s news that mr. cohen will address the democrats, house request and the oversight committee. there are other discussions with other committees. so when you say tonight that no subpoena is necessary, you are suggesting that you are close to having a voluntary agreement to address other committees as requested? i have to consult with my client. this is all very new today. but the answer is we have had constructive discussions. i don t want to name the specifics. but i know that mr. cohen wants to be voluntary, wants to be truthful. his days lying for donald t ....
To congress? it s a matter of public record that he did talk to white house officials. but the point is which officials? well, i don t know now and i won t say now what specific officials there are matters that mr. mueller is looking into that we are going to be careful about. but i did want to i ll let you make your point. do you that i mr. cohen will be in a position to name names in that testimony? i don t know. we re still going to be looking for guidance from mr. mueller as i know mr. cummings is. and i want to clarify how does that work? do you, you know, lawyer to lawyer, lanny, i got to do it, do you and the other folks on this team pro actively call the special counsel s office to find out the boundaries for this testimony? or how does this work? because this is a is somewhat unusual situation. for sure. i know mr. cummings has and i intend to be sure that areas under investigation by mr. ....
