Prosecuting Cohen News Today

A look at the days latest news and headlines. The president has watched this process play out. He wants to see it come to an end as he stated many times. We look forward to that happening. Bill there are so many headlines going back and forth today. We have been here many times before. You get to the end of the day and you ask yourself what changed . Has something changed today fundamentally or not . No, not a lot. We heard the president say this stuff a lot. We know that the president vents on ...

Coming down the pike because you wouldnt let these guys get sentenced first. you would make them testify first. in the southern district of new york, my old office which is the office thats prosecuting cohen, to be what is known as a term of art in the district as a cooperator, you have to agree to tell the government everything, everything youve ever done from cradle to wherever you are in your life. >> bill: at some point they concluded that cohen is hiding something. >> he told them he wasnt ...

>> russian collusion. the republicans and gop and donald trump believe collusion is some safe harbor, they know he did not have any direct conversations with russia. but heres the key. if he directed his people to coordinate with russia on any level, and we see some of that in new filings, then he is not only responsible politically, but could have broken the law legally and thats super important. you talk about these documents clear him, that doesnt border on nonsensical, it is nonsensical. you...

We heard a lot about cohen and stormy daniels or other women. cohens own personal business. we have not heard some of the spectacular acications we heard earlier with the trump dossier with cohen going to europe to meet with russians. if that were true, it seems mueller would be prosecuting cohen himself. >> bill: giuliani talking a lot in the last few days. i want you to react to this. >> its an opinion. thats the medium he uses for opinions. twitter. one good thing about using that he establis...

Material. the stormy daniels case is quite distinct from what is happening right now in manhattan. that is criminal probe after a federal seizure of evidence from the home office and the business and hotel room of michael cohen. it has implications for what may happen in the mda case, but theyre not synonymous. and this particular special master is going to have to compartmentalli compartmentalize a great keel on several fronts. >> you know the team prosecuting cohen. so what do you think of bar...

Trail. where it goes and if it goes nowhere, then it goes nowhere. >> jack, your turn now. you say appointing a special master is unusual in most cases. why is that? >> you usually dont need one. but, you know, in this case i think the judge wants to bend over backwards. look what the president did in that interview in attacking the fbi. hes done everything he possibly can to delegitimize the prosecutors and fbi here. so this was a very, very, i think, shrewd and important and justified move on ...

It looks like hes, you know, going to let somebody fall off the boat on that one, too. >> well, my ears perked up when he said that michael cohen represented him on i think he said that crazy stormy daniels story. im like, whoa, thats a first. i wonder what his lawyers are thinking. heres trump arguing that cohen a businessman. >> hes got businesses and from what i understand theyre looking at his businesses. and hope hes in great shape. but hes got businesses and his lawyers probably told him n...

Not buying there are as many documents to look at. >> said they were no campaign funds going to this. did the president admit to knowing about the deal at the time? was that an admission do you think? >> he clearly knew -- you know i think he may eventually argue that cohen had this sort of generalized portfolio, this authority to represent him as a lawyer in these cases involving women accusing him of -- of inappropriate behavior. and, you know, hes trying to have it both ways and distance hims...

Jones as a special master? michael avenatti said it was the right move. what will she be doing? >> i totally agree that was the right move. you have a situation here where the appearance of fairness is extremely important, given the public scrutiny in this case. what judge jones will be tasked in doing is vetting the privilege issue. as a neutral arbiter of that issue, so that its clear to the public and to everyone that no sides are being picked, no ones being favored. there will be no filtered...

As a neutral arbiter of that issue so that its clear to public and to everyone that no sides are being picked, no ones being favored. there will be no filtered team staff by government lawyers and agents. and on the other side the defense isnt going to get a first crack at it either. its going to be judge jones whos going to be dealing with privilege issues, and thats going to again give the appearance of fairness to both sides in this, frankly, very extraordinary case. >> i got another question...
