Associates of the then candidate? >> not one iota. it doesnt matter at all, and i think to raise that is really a distraction. its probably a useful political point to try to deflect from the reality of the situation. his former lawyer and now ami have both admitted to a federal court that the purpose of this whole deal, the purpose of the payments, the purpose of the structure was to keep embarrassing stories from coming out and affecting the election. if thats the primary purpose of the paymen...

Something that people understood when they voted for him so thats part of the equation. look, first off, i would like to say the president should just have a legal strategy and enact it and not talk about if in public. im not had a lawyer, but he takes bad legal advice from a lot of people so i feel like mine might be bedder than some. i am with him i think the president on this part of it which is -- do i think that they would be going hard after cohen on rather small s.e.c. violations of $100,...
