That could be true and it kw squares with what was in the mueller pleading and what was in michael cohens own pleading. does that make sense? >> i think so. >> i was on set the day he pleaded guilty with several prosecutors and that was the language that many of us honed in on. what does this mean? its not in there for no reason at all. but we do need to remember that -- two things. this allegation, we talked about the seriousness of it and also the special counsels office may have been getting ...

Lets put up why this made sense to people when it came out anyway. its about the context of what we thought we were going to find out surrounding cohens testimony. remember, hes about to testify again. now i dont know if this matter will be closed off because its too close to what mueller is doing. although, by what were saying right now and what the sourcing is for buzzfeed, doesnt seem like it might be under his umbrella. maybe he will be allowed to discuss it. but put up the language of what ...

This might be as simple as the special counsels office saying, hey, guys, were not going to impeach the president this weekend so lets all take a deep breath and lets keep waiting and well get to this when were ready to talk about it. >> you know what, thats always been the best advice. when things happen, i bring you in on this case. what could it mean? where could it lead us? what could happen next? thats all fair. but the pace of the curiosity matters as well. and we are back where we were wh...

Stake besides just this. we also know that theres a real issue here about don jr. and what he testified to about this and there were really interesting questions the spence counsel asked the president about this, when did you discuss during the campaign this russian trump tower and who did you discuss it with? all these are out there and he responded to them before he knew cohen was cooperating. theres so much with the special counsel and i want tago get to as bad as anyone but i want to make su...

Of this deal based on the pleading of michael cohen about lying to congress, right and what the times reported about the questions. that key question of how long were you engaged in the deal and why were you lying? is obviously central here. >> and what was the rest of your relationship with the russian federation? this is the story from last week about counterintelligence investigation whether the president had inappropriate relations with the president. and you dont have to call them impeachme...

However, he has not seen the other corroborating evidence of the texts, e-mails, documents. what does it do to your investigative mind? >> what i picked up on when he was talking was he mentioned that the law enforcement officials hes spoken with were people who had been looking into the trump tower moscow deal before mueller apparently came on the scene which means there is something about that deal itself which has raised some issues for investigators. i think it goes to when michael cohen ple...

Bus and the people who worked on the trump campaign took notice. one responding to me right away saying, you think when i asked if he felt like they were being thrown under the bus. >> how much does this sihelp th special counsel some. >> i think its ehuhuge. when people are not on the same team, not sharing information, not being, you know, working in the same direction, theyre absolutely trying to save themselves. theyre trying to save their reputation. theyre trying to reduce their prison sen...

And one suspects not just special counsel but also some of these cases that have gone out to u.s. attorneys offices. the most interesting tidbit we get is a combination of manaforts poorly redacted pleading and the information from special counsel that says constanten kilimnik, manaforts russian business partner, seems to be a focus of this. we know theres this august timeline where we dont know what the subject of those meetings is for certain but it seemed likely it involved the transfer of po...

Have contact with him and also has this alleged russian figure witness tampering. the bottom line tonight? >> probably the most important and most interesting parts are redacted. what i find most interesting is the subjects of conscience and kolimnik are most redacted. here you have the campaign chairman of the trump campaign lying about his contacts with someone believed to be in legal russian intelligence, and those are the most redacted just in my superficial view, parts of this pleading. >> ...
