Private e-mail address? >> which in fact thered be no need to do that if in fact it was common to use his trump organization e-mail. theres a common pattern here. when its convenient for the president and mr. cohen to point to different entities and claim that they are separate, ie, ec llc and the trump organization, they do so. however, when its convenient for them to claim otherwise they claim just the opposite, that theyre one in the same. and ill give you an example. the temporary restrainin...

Agreement? >> thats painting a fictional picture to the whole scenario. theres an or there. they left it open for either/or. the bottom line is ec llc entered into the contract. >> but hes saying if donald trump had nothing to do with this -- >> he had everything to do with it. hes a third party beneficiary. he doesnt have to be a party to the contract to benefit from the contact, but he certainly can enforce the contract like a third party beneficiary can, and this is contract. and you are advi...

Stormy daniels and her lawyers to death? if he has nothing to hide, why is he doing all of this and then suing a private citizen? >> also from a legal standpoint, i mean if michael cohen says that he paid stormy daniels of his own money without the president knowing about it, without the presidents advice or consent or being asked about it, out of pure loyalty, why then is donald trump a party to this lawsuit? why is he party to moving this to federal court? >> well, the agreement is by this cor...

It, out of pure loyalty, why then is donald trump a party to this lawsuit? why is he party to moving this to federal court? >> well, the agreement is by this corporation, eec, llc. >> which michael cohen set up. >> and the money came from michael cohen. but its legal for a company to make a contract with somebody else that might affect a third party like the president, if you assume the president is not a party because he didnt sign it. >> but if theres a space for the president to sign and to i...
