20/20. >> that was really interesting to me and when i brought it up with some of the sources and friends, they say thats the most important thing from the stephanopoulos interview. he believe he did things that were best of his judgment. >> back in the day. >> looking back in it, hindsight is 20/20. thats self explanatory, maybe those were not in the best judgment and maybe they were not the right things to do and hell do differently if he had to do it all over again. who knows what he knows. h...

Michael cohens new lawyer lanny davis, the long time clinton ally, is speaking out in his first on-camera interview and he says his client as made a, quote, declaration of independence from donald trump. adding this. >> there is a reason he said at the end of the interview with mr. stephanopoulos that he took these contrary positions to mr. trump that he previously said he would take a bullet for. the reason he said is i will not be a punching bag as part of somebody elses defense strat y strate...

Or know or have any reports of this activity going on. what we know of jim jordan, he is not a man to shy away from a fight. he had no reason to defend this doctor. and if he knew of any wrongdoing back then, i have every reason to believe he would have stood out and been one of the first people to be banging on the doors to put a stop to this. we need to let this play out further. as he said in this interview, the timing of this is, in my view, its suspect. and that he is rising in the ranks in...

But, look, they got a search warrant to search his offices. they didnt pick his name out of the phone book. i mean they got a search warrant for a lawyers office. thats very unusual. that usually requires a very substantial showing of probable cause or even more. so you could even tell in cohens interview with stephanopoulos, he knows hes at tremendous risk here. thats why the change in tone, i think. >> you know, counselor garber, youre representing donald trump. michael cohen is hanging out th...

>> it doesnt have to be him. >> well, or someone -- >> it could be you. it could be someone who knows both, who is a liaison. >> i understand that, but that could be spun perhaps persuasively as an attempt to influence his testimony, and that, i think, is something that the trump team would certainly want to avoid. i dont even understand why cohen did this interview with george stephanopoulos. i think he would have been better off just keeping his mouth shut. this is why lawyers tell people, kee...

Cohen did this interview with george stephanopoulos. i think he would have been better off just keeping his mouth shut. this is why lawyers tell people, keep your mouth shut. >> but what does it tell us that he did decide to speak. >> that hes freaking out. >> when you leave somebody out there, it should not be unusual to any of you watching us three good looking gentlemen watching tonight, that hes going to choose his family over somebody who used to be his best friend. good to have you both. w...

That usually requires a very substantial showing of probable cause or even more. so you could even tell in cohens interview with stephanopoulos, he knows hes at tremendous risk here. thats why the change in tone, i think. >> you know, counselor garber, youre representing donald trump. michael cohen is hanging out there in the wind. do you allow him to be isolated the way they have apparently done to him? do you not pay his fees, leave him out there, nobody talks to him. lets him get beat up in t...

[laughter] seriously. no worries, he is not present weve got the art of the deal the presidents. this is the deal hes been waiting for his life and it should have been handled years ago. >> it should have been handled years ago but its been handled now and i will take care of it. greg: he will take care of it. hes getting in the zone. lets see what happens. >> we will see what we will see. we will see what happens but we will see what hap...
