President of the united states as citizen and now as president from damaging stories that are against his actual interest. that could be true. the second part of it is why its so important, this cash versus check distinction. people are hearing the words corporation, chris, and theyre thinking about essential consultants and stormy daniels. but hes talking about ami and about buying back stories and hes trying to lay the foundation right now that you have to trust this person, michael cohen, as ...

But nonetheless, i think its terrible and very wrong to tape -- secretly tape a conversation with your client. but, still, that doesnt change what the tape reveals. and what it reveals is that the president was fully aware of these payments that had been already made and that he was more than happy to make similar payments in order to get the information from pecker. >> excellent points from solomon wisenberg. i know you hustled to get into the studio. here with me in studio, margaret t tallop a...

Echo what im telling people that he told me today as well. when you find them, put them up, all right? cohen is talking about buying the rights from ami. true. theyre talking about a corporation doing it. true. one of their corporations doing it. the -- continue. the president says, make sure its done correctly. make sure its done by check. >> i dont know where giuliani is getting his words, but i can tell you what everybody in america heard. the false accusation against michael cohen is that he...

Well aware the gloves need to come off. its a credibility campaign going on right now and a game of he said/he said, he wants to prevail. particularly it seems the idea whether he says cash or whether he said check may seem like a nominal matter. what hes trying to establish is there was some awareness on behalf of donald trump at the time that there was this pending transaction, this agreement with karen mcdougal, and that he, himself, was trying to at least appeal to his good senses in some wa...
