Novartis determined that michael cohen and essential consultants would be unable to provide the services that novartis had anticipated related to u.s. health care policy matters. the decision was taken not to engage further. however, as the contract unfortunately could only be terminated for cause, payments continued to be made until the contract expired by its own terms in february 2018. do big publicly traded international companies really work this way? i mean, this is their own explanation f...

International companies really work this way? i mean, this is their own explanation for what happened here. agreed to do $100,000 a month deal that is binding, that requires them to pay this dude $100,000 a month for something that anybody who has ever met him could tell him he is incapable of doing. but nevertheless, they do that deal and its binding, and when they make the deal, they have never met the guy. they didnt meet him until a month after the deal was signed and they were already payin...

Paris climate deal. the u.s. is now one of the only countries if not the only country not a part of that deal. you mentioned tpp, the countries of tpp have gone around the u.s. essentially. iran, rouhani and who knows if this is possible because it would require european allies essentially to cross the u.s. to stay in the iran deal without the u.s. so this argument of isolating the u.s., that company is isolating the u.s. by pulling out of the deals, theres a lot to back that up. >> now you have...

Robert mueller. if the president was involved in sending out a false public account by both his private counsel and white house staff, it could be treated as a potential criminal matter. likewise, any evidence that cohen was warned or in any way protected by government officials before the raids could prove incriminating. barbara? >> yeah, it is shocking to me that a lawyer of rudy giulianis stature would go out on national television and be talking on behalf of the president of the united state...

>> hes learning the subject matter and hes going to be issuing a statement, too. he started yet. hell get his facts straight. >> giuliani did release a statement, which allowed no more improvising. quote, there is no campaign violation. the payment was made to resolve a personal and false allegation in order to protect the presidents family. it would have been done in any event, whether he was a candidate or not. and my references to timing were not describing my understanding of the presidents ...

>> paul: one of the curious things is they relied on statements by trump as a candidate, not within the order, which is what judges are supposed to deal with. what kind of precedent would it set if judges can go back to the campaign and say you in july at the convention said the following and make a judgment about a supposed bias based on that. that gets to pretty -- it seems to me that would risk expanding judicial power. >> even when government officials in office say various things off the co...
