Ami, the close company of "national enquirer." sources tell when pecker took over he imposed a moratorium on negative stories about mr. trump. throughout016 presidential campaign, ami t you get it from lanny davis. or you get a transcript of it, this one would you think is being forth coming. i can remember that nixon tried to give a big pile of transcripts. if you give the tape out, it seems like you are closer to the truth. your thoughts. >> without a doubt. that is not to say you cant doctor ...

Check." >> whats the potential legal damage here mimi. >> you mentioned rudy giuliani and trumps denial about them making a payment. as to any legal consequences, thats not entirely relevant. if trump is part of a scheme, however that is conducted through ami or directly to pay karen mcdougal to keep quiet and if there are laws broken by that, it does no t matter if they directly made the payments or not. they can be apart of the scheme and apart of the conspiracy. the potential laws we are talk...

Of "the national enquirer." and they went through campaign staff faster than i go through, i dont know, socks. what kind of exposure could ami have if they were not functioning as a media organization but rather as an apparatus of the campaign. >> or even if they were functioning as both, theres a real possibility here that prals for the company could find themselves ensnared in a conspiracy. if they were helping to avoid donation limits, if they were helping to engage in illegal activity, we do...

Them. im sure that the special counsel is very interested to see whats on them, not just for their content but also for the leads and things that could be run down based on the content of those tapes. >> one last question on this. if ami, the publishing company in question if they ended up in trouble for having been a campaign donation, if they paid this woman to, paid this money to this woman to influence the election and they end up being pursued for that or pressured for that legally, would t...

President trump is other members have been brought in. the cfo of the trump organization is implicated in trying to set up this shell corporation. both of these people may not only have exposure for conspiracy to violate the campaign law, but open up the pandoras box to the trump organization finances. pretty sure president trump does not want a prosecutor to go anywhere near his finance. >> ami, the company that owns "national enquirer" acts as a political reporter. they were contributing basic...

Still with us phil rucker from the washington post, frank figliuzzi, michael steele still out there somewhere beautiful with us. joyce vance former u.s. attorney washington post columnist. eugene. emily has been in contact by phone throughout all this. and ken dilanian national security reporter. joyce, ive now listen today that five or six times. i do not have any experience with the mafia. unlike rudy giuliani, i dont think it is at all clear that, that, that the information on this tape doesn...

Case they did not get a conviction in large part because they were not able to show the payment to silence the woman in that case was made to actually impact the election. heres theres some distinguishing factors. this is made much closer to the time of election. so we now know we have a payment being made whether its by ami or directly from trump and cohen. doesnt really matter at the end of the day, but its to silence this woman from coming out very close to election. and theres a little nugge...

Seems like the potential liability is more political than legal. the tape seems to suggest that mr. trump was aware of payments being discussed in advance of the election when i believe he is on record saying he knew nothing about it. so it is a political liability. i agree with chuck. i dont see any specific legal liability based on what i heard on that call. thats my gut reaction. but as chuck said, as your question just hinted, there may be more tapes and we dont know whats on them. and im su...

Digging into these things. they didnt have you guys sitting here doing an audio analysis word by word of a i ta. there were 12 claimed as privilege and undoubtedly many more tapes beyond those 12 that are out there. plus other testimony, plus the manafort trial. so were sort of just wading in to a new kind of swamp and were up to our ankles. when we get to the election, where will we be? >> can i just ask, why would michael cohen and/or rudialli rudiallianrudialliay giuliani say put this out the...

Flavor of what ami is all about. so i actually talked with david pecker. i was the on-scene commander of the first anthrax murder in the united states that happened at boca raton, florida, at ami headquarters. i told him we had a team suited up. we had one shot at getting his most valuable possessions out of that building. what can we get for you? he said the framed photograph of elvis in his coffin and the photo of bat boy. >> im going to spend the rest of the night wanting to unhear that. phil...
