presidential tweet so we don't know. >> it wasn't just about hillary clinton's campaign. it was most importantly the information they got was about russia interfering in our elections. >> but it sounds good. it sounds god for the president. >> so let's talk about this. michael cohen's business partner, his name is evgeny freidman. he is known as the taxi king, taking a plea so he doesn't go to jail. so he is going to help prosecutors. how much pressure does this put on cohen? >> my understanding of his cooperation deal is it's for both state and federal investigations, right? federal investigation involves a man named robert mueller. this guy was facing $5 million in legal penalties, four on counts crimes that have sentences up to 25 years. i mean, he wouldn't get 100 years, but still, he was facing a number of years in prison and a lot of money. bumped down to $50,000 and much less prison. when you have that, that's not good for the guy on the other end. jack knows this better than me.
