I dont know where that term came from. I dont know if he was a fixer. He has been a lawyer for me. He did not do big deals. Small deals. Not somebody with me that much.

Crime that isnt crime, noncrime, by the way that President Trump says he never committed even though at least some of his argument is undermined by his own voice on tape, and the surreal little nugget is part of the picture as the president and his people spin the reality that two more of the former associates are felons and one of them Attorney Michael Cohen tied him under oath to pair of crime. His attorney joins us momentarily. As for the president , he responded today by slamming mr.
