>> harry, you know the judge. so sort of your take on this thinking from him, this is not a legal analysis, this is his own writings about it. this was not the form of an opinion. what are we to make of that? >> it could inform the analysis. first, the point is well taken, hes making a policy proposal. nevertheless, its the exact opposite. its very interesting that brett kavanaugh is making it, because there are two brett kavanaughs here. this is a mea kulpa for his conduct as attack dog for jud...

Its time for him to speak and will speak volumes. but the strategy with rudy giuliani, you know, hes baffling to me. is he his lawyer, a buddy, a policy guy, just someone who wont go away? every time he opens his mouth, to me he steps in it. he makes factual statements, legally preproceosterous claims does it in a half sinister way. it seems like hes freelancing, then it seems like hes speaking for the president. it is true that these kind of statements to cohen have a sinister tone. thats what ...

Of justice, in which guiliani in that interview does not address. >> exactly. because guiliani, in addition to being the pr attack dog, which is his primary role, is also working with the legal team behind the scenes to stall. because he also said in addition to the fact that hes put this ultimatum down, he says he does not anticipate or expect the special counsel to even agree to his interview ultimatum or guideline. so he acknowledged he doesnt expect agreement, because this is about stalling....

Is the effect on his family. i think what has rankled him second most is his inability to be able to speak on this. his former counsel refused to let him speak to the media. i think wisely. hes entering a new phase in which he, again, will not be able to speak to the media on his own accord. we saw that on the record interview with george steph nota -- its something that i think michael is very much looking forward to, hes been pretty much silent for about a year now. >> isnt that small fry comp...

Reality show is weird portion. we are very clearly at the point where we may or may not get an answer very soon about whether or not michael cohen will cooperate with the government. what i will tell you is that the decision for him to go on the record this week is thought about in his circles for months, something he has been desperate to do. this is a man who likes to tell his side of things, a pit bull and attack dog. the fact that he had an attorney urging him to be quiet is difficult for hi...
