Eyebrows as to persons but prosecutors have to dig deeper to get to the point they can indict. >> why do you think all that information was in cohens remarks in court. he obviously wasnt speaking off-the-cuff. those were prepared remarks, carefully designed. between his remarks and what was in the criminal information there was stuff about other entities, executives with the trump organization, ami, a specific executive at ami. and the stuff about the president himself. why was that all there? >...

Knows who they are. but if i could make a quick point about david pecker, an interesting part about the information, the statement of facts that he pleaded to is that in 2015, a year before this all goes down, there is an agreement with pecker and ami to handle the problems and the hush agreements that would be necessary. arguably, that would be the beginning of the criminal conspiracy here. so that puts pecker really in the hot seat. >> thats such an important point that harry made. i noticed t...
