Resolve in case he was hit by a bus, for example. >> right, they were talk bing abo about getting all of it away from david pecker. they were worried if david peck e as trump said, hit by a bus, who knows where the files would end up? >> all of the stuff doesnt include simply one particular payment to karen mcdougal. you can -- obviously david pecker also has immunity to discuss things as part of ami as well, so you can look at this scenario and think to yourself, well, obviously tip of the iceb...

Involvement and, perhaps, the presidents in facilitating this payment, in getting it done in time for the campaign, that made -- certainly cohens was criminal and trumps involvement is certainly highly suspicious and, perhaps, prosecutable. >> but, jeff, in the statement of facts that ami has now signed off on, there was a meeting between pecker and cohen and i believe it was described as another person, at least one more person from the trump campaign. so other people were aware of this in the ...

That was a part of a nonprosecution agreement that came out today. but certainly, the cohens involvement and, perhaps, the presidents in facilitating this payment, in getting it done in time for the campaign, that made -- certainly cohens was criminal and trumps involvement is certainly highly suspicious and, perhaps, prosecutable. >> but, jeff, in the statement of facts that ami has now signed off on, there was a meeting between pecker and cohen and i believe it was described as another person,...

Of the meetings with trump because going all the way back to 2014, there was a personal meeting between pecker and trump where a.m.i. said it would be helpful to his campaign -- not to donald trump as a new york real estate developer. so you start there. and so the question becomes, in those conversations, can a.m.i. tell us what was said about why they were doing it in october of the election year? why it was so important to do it in a rush? and, of course, the question is can they say anything...

Criminal and of which he probably was not guilty even on a civil basis. as one of my bosses said i think pretty perfectly this morning, you cant plead guilty to something in criminal court to something that isnt criminal. it doesnt seem possible. the president is just wrong. the fact, though, jack, that hes focused here tells you what? >> well, look, this is a very thin read. hes trying to rely on to prove that he didnt have the intent to commit -- the intent thats required for commission of thi...

Listen to this quote. im committed to proving my integrity and ensuring that history will not remember me as the villain of this story. theres lots of other news breaking in this drama with a.m.i.s cooperation today. the feds say, listen to this language. as long as they continue to cooperate, a.m.i. wont be prosecuted. what does that mean? that suggests that it wasnt just about corroborating what cohen told them. what else could be there? what else do they know? and it says in the agreement...

I dont care about any of this personally. you can judge me morally if you want. thats fine. im not in that business. i dont care if its an f.e.c. violation or a crime. i still dont know how they indict a sitting president of the united states given the current guidance. they can change the guidance, but i dont know thats going to happen. im talking about the lying. we know the president was lying about this 100%. if he lied like this to federal prosecutors about what he knew and how close things...

Second, there were statements in court and theres other evidence that donald trump directed the crime. and third, the term, co-conspirator, is beginning to fit donald trump like a well-tailored suit. it may be unindicted co-conspirator. he hasnt been formally charged, but he has been directly implicated in court and in charging documents from the southern district of new york prosecutors office that put him at the center of a criminal conspiracy. and there is additional corroborating evidence no...
