at&t hiring michael cohen as a political consultant was a big mistake. >> we need to find our voices to be heard by the president-elect. we didn't do that tilling of the soil during the campaign because largely speaking, we assumed hillary clinton would be president. how can we get in? there's michael cohen making his pitch. i'm donald trump's guy, i know him, if you want to go to him you need to come through me. $600,000 is -- i'd love to have that amount of money to match my money, but $600,000 if it can get us in to have the president hear our point of view on issues, it's nothing, so they do it. what they're really apologizing for candidly is that it got bumped out. they did it to gain some level of access they did not currently have to the president and his inner circle. >> carrie?
