crime and nothing could be more un-american than that, right? we have a crime and then we have an investigation. this is the opposite. this is flipped on its head. stalin himself said, show me the man and i ll show you the crime. that s what s going on here. the swamp is trying steve! you re comparing to stalin? this is why there s a bipartisan bill in the senate judiciary committee right now, because of folks like you and people in the white house symone, to your point this is why a bipartisan bill is going to get passed. the congress has every right to delve into this. they are a coequal branch of government. if they want to investigate they don t have the same powers a special counsel would. they have more powers. they have constitutional powers. because republicans are really focused on doing that, right? . corey lewandowski can tell them to go f themselves and they can t do they can, they can hold him in contempt.
steve, you say go with steve bannon on this? i m thoroughly with bannon on this. this is look, the point bannon is making, this is no longer about a crime, because there is no crime. we don t know that. by the way, this is an investigation in search of a crime and nothing could be more un-american than that, right? we have a crime and then we have an investigation. this is the opposite. this is flipped on its head. stalin himself said, show me the man and i ll show you the crime. that s what s going on here. the swamp is trying steve! you re comparing to stalin? this is why there s a bipartisan bill in the senate judiciary committee right now, because of folks like you and people in the white house symone, to your point this is why a bipartisan bill is going to get passed. the congress has every right to delve into this. they are a coequal branch of government. if they want to investigate they don t have the same powers a special counsel would. they
so we have to be careful of saying what has been found out, what hasn t been found out, if there s a crime, if there s not a crime. that is why this investigation must play out. that is why i believe there s a bipartisan effort in the senate, gnat senate judiciary committee, to preserve the integrity of this investigation, so that the russia investigation can continue uninhibited. what does russia have to do with access hollywood or stormy daniels? we have to let it play out. we don t know yet, steve. are you trying to tell me there s a connection from moscow to access hollywood ? but you do agree that the mission that mueller has, the marching orders he has are very broad. far too broad. just as ken starr s were too broad. anything that comes up in the course of did i just hear you defending bill clinton? did you say you were on the side of defending bill clinton? i was a kid. i was playing beer pong at that time. but if had i been in politics, i
suggesting that there was illegality involved. and that s why they have what they call these taint teams that come in and review all of the material to see if something looks like it could be privileged. so a taint team basically takes the material that the fbi seized from the office and they re a specialized unit of fbi agents that go through and look at this stuff. and they re isolated from the primary investigators. and the way it s supposed to work, but pardon me that defense attorneys a skeptical about this, is that they re supposed to isolate the privileged material and then a judge can look at it and say, no, this is protected. you can t have that. this, on the other hand, might fall into the crime, fraud exception. professor gerchowitz was on, saying, look, they re going to leak this stuff out. that s why it s so rare that a search warrant of an attorney s office is permitted. it s really a major intrusion. and you almost never see it. there must be a big reason all
there are many ways i mean, not everything, any not every communication is between an attorney and an another person is privileged. that s absolutely correct. and there s something that s called the crime fraud exception to the attorney/client privilege. if the attorney confers with a client in a conspiracy to commit a crime or the client comes to you and says, hey, i would like to pay off some people to silence them, using money from a business, a big business, that i operate, maybe can i get a tax deduction out of it, how would i go about doing that? and if the attorney advises the person, that could be advice relating to a crime. that s not privileged. so let me ask you, if michael cohen says he paid off stormy daniels with his own money and the president knew nothing about it or then citizen donald trump knew nothing about it, would if, in fact, there are communications between michael cohen and then candidate donald trump donald trump, about stormy daniels and about the
