Hoping it will keep him out of jail a little longer. Cohen says hes gone through less than 1 of whats on the hard drive and needs more time to review the rest. As of now, cohen heads to jail on may 8th. As you can see, theres a lot to discuss. Former Nixon White House counsel john dean is here, as well as jed sugarman, the author of the peoples courts. Good evening to both of you. Good to see you. Jed, im going to start with you. There are major discrepancies between what barr wrote in that fourpage letter and what Mueller Reportedly said was alarming and significant evidence that trump obstructed justice. Could this infighting signal concerns of a coverup . I think it does signal some concerns, and i think specifically we saw a back and forth where team mueller was calling out team barr because they know so, first of all, we start with the New York Times report from last night where team barr says to the New York Times, we couldnt go with these executive summaries, right . Team mueller wrote summaries. We cant use them because they were intermingled with sensitive information, grand jury information, executive privilege, and then three hours later the Washington Post has team mueller saying, wait a second, we we wrote those reports we wrote those summaries specifically so that they could be used, right . So i looked back at some old the Lawrence Walsh irancontra report, the starr report from the clinton era. They each included simple onepage summaries that we designed for Immediate Release with nothing complicated in them. It is completely implausible that the mueller team would make such a mistake to write these summaries that would have such sensitive information. It exposes barr for being noncredible. John, is something fishy going on here, in your estimation . Barr has certainly fumbled this thing from the outset, don. His socalled summary letter, his conclusions, principal conclusions raised many questions. Its very for such an experienced washington hand, somethings amiss, and it sounds like hes been instructed by the boss to watch out for his best interests, and thats what hes doing. John, if we get past midapril, right, without the full Mueller Report, do you think its going to look like a coverup and, you know, i dont know, barr, will he get the benefit of the doubt until then . John . Im sorry, don. My audio is down. Yeah. If we get to midapril and still dont have the full report, will it start to look like a coverup . And im wondering if people will still continue to give barr the benefit of the doubt. He will lose the benefit of the doubt for he protracted, you know, he withholds information as he is right now. Hes not cooperating. Hes made a promise that hed have it out by the middle of the month. All of his many letters clarifying past letters and past statements are just adding confusion. This has the smell of coverup, and its not a good thing at this point. Was there ever this kind of disconnect between the Justice Department and the special counsels team during watergate . No. No. They were very they were very blunt. Actually, leon jaworski, the last special counsel, Watergate Special prosecutor, went right over and talked to the chief of staff, al hague, and they communicated rather directly about their things. Some of the watergate prosecuting staff was concerned about their relationship, but in the end it turned out jaworski was playing it straight. He didnt want to make any mistakes, and what his intentions were and wanted to understand exactly where the white house was coming from. Jed, i find it interesting that you think that this will head to the Supreme Court. What does this mean for President Trump and why do you think that . Well, i think that we see with barrs behavior that he seems if hes willing to say that the executive summaries, he couldnt include them because theyre protected by executive privilege, he seems willing or his team seems willing to invoke executive privilege for anything and everything. That suggests that the house in order to get just basic access to the report is going to have to litigate. So if you look back to how this transpired with the Oval Office Tapes in the nixon era, it took about five months, four, five months to go from the start of that litigation to the trial all the way up to the Supreme Court. That was a 90 decision with u. S. Versus nixon. 80. The challenge now is can we rely on this Supreme Court to find the right balance with the Public Interest . Executive privilege is not a blanket absolute privilege. It has to be something balanced. So if they get the doctrine right, it should go out to the public. I just think we have to be concerned about this current Supreme Court. Did you say in a previous answer was it you or john, i cant remember, who said about the summaries that it was fishy . Because im just wondering, if the yeah. The doj is saying that these summaries contain privileged material, and there is no way mueller would make that mistake. Did you say that . Yeah, i think i said that. I didnt say that. Go ahead. Go ahead, jed. Its a good point, though. Right. It seems ridiculous to think that team mueller with all of its experienced lawyers who surely would have looked back at past special counsels. They would be foolish to have written executive summaries that would then be subject to and vulnerable to this argument. In fact, they told the Washington Post explicitly, if you look back at the report, they said we wrote these summaries so they could be immediately released and not redacted. So theyre calling barr out. They know that barr has made a mistake, and give it its remarkable that for two years there were no leaks from team mueller until now. They basically gave barr a chance, and they waited and now theyre saying we want the public to know that barr is not playing straight. John, why do you want muellers investigator mueller, his lawyers or investigators to speak out . And why are you calling them wussies . Because i think they should stand up. Many of them are no longer in the government. Some in the government might go to the attorney general himself if theyre working for him and protest, but i think those out of government ought to call the press right in and say, listen, im not going to disclose any grand jury information, but i can tell you whats going on is not right and this attorney general better get it right or im going to speak out more, and i think theyre wusses if they dont do so. I got to get you to weigh in on this news about Michael Cohen tonight. Do you think congress will buy that he has 14 million files that just popped up the month before hes supposed to report . I have been looking for when they he learned about the files. One report has recent, and its another report i saw implied that he when he got the material back that had been taken from him in the raid, but it doesnt make it clear when they got that material back, thats when he started going through them. But this sounds like its material that the governments already had in the Southern District. So they may have already been through it. Obviously michael can find things in his own files that would have different meaning than the Southern District looking at those files in the raw, so i think its important that he be given an opportunity, and 30 days is not much time to go through 14 million files. If indeed this is legitimate, as it sounds, i cant imagine lanny not playing it straight with the court or with the members of congress, i think he ought to be given some time to do it. Jed, do you think that congress will be able to persuade the Southern District to postpone as cohen and his team wants . Big picture, i think Michael Cohen is overrated in all of these stories. I think underrated is whatever else the Southern District is working on, and big time overrated is what the new York Attorney general is working on, such as potential Money Laundering through deutsche bank. We should keep our eye on that and less on Michael Cohen. Even with all the information thats come to light, the Stormy Daniels hush money payments, the checks, the information and financial documents hes provided, you think hes overrated when it comes to this . No, i think this new news is overrated. I think the Southern District probably already has all of that and sufficient information to go with that. Jed sugarman, john dean, thank you, sirs, appreciate it. Even maralago is know scape from uncomfortable questions for this president. Were going to dig into the latest on the Security Breach at the president s private club next. When we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. I remember setting up shipstation. One or two clicks and everything was up and running. I was printing out labels and saving money. Shipstation saves us so much time. It makes it really easy and seamless. Pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and its ready to go. Our costs for shipping were cut in half. Just like that. Shipstation.

The Chinese Government is now providing Consular Services to the woman arrested for illegally entering President Trumps maralago club. She has suspicious items including four cell phones and a thumb drive with Malicious Software on it. So, could she be a foreign spy . The fbi is now investigating. Lets discuss now. Matthew rosenberg and phil mudd are here. Gentlemen, good evening to you. Matthew, you say if you were a foreign spy, you would have a maralago membership. Is there anything stopping someone with that same idea . I mean, if you run a Foreign Spy Service and either dont have a member there or arent trying to become a member, you arent doing your job. I think that includes our allies as well. You know, every weekend the president goes down there. He talks to club members about policy, business. You also get a sense of what his life is like, what his interests are. People around to talk to. All these atmospherics. Of course you want to be in there. Thats the most powerful man in the world. Why wouldnt you want to be in there . The fact that somebody is coming in there with three, four cell phones and a ton of malware. Four cell phones. That should send a lot of red flags. Phil, i want to hear what you think of this. This woman with her four cell phones, laptop computer, external hard drivetype device and a thumb drive with malicious malware on it. Game out some of the things that could happen. Number one, whether these going to introduce something to the software there that allows that malware to sort of penetrate the system of maralago. The bigger question i would have is whether there is something that enables you to place a listening device. Its a rare day, don, i have to agree with a journalist, with matt, this gives me tremendous pain. I look at this and say if youre conducting espionage, and you can spend 200,000 bucks to get somebody in there are find somebody sympathetic to china, why the heck would you send a woman who cant figure out what her cover story is and looks like she ripped off the Electronics Section at target . There is Something Weird here but this cant be a classic espionage operation. At a hearing today, zhang said she works at a shanghai private equity firm but paid per project, hasnt made any money in 2019. She also said she owns a 1. 3 million house in china, drives a bmw. Does that raise any questions about someone who hasnt worked this year and has, you know, that kind of capital and conflicting stories about what she was doing, matthew . Look, beyond the Foreign Spy Services, private equity firm, theyre probably thinking, you know, maybe shes some kind of piecemeal contractor. She goes in there and finds out some good tip, change in u. S. Policy, china trade issue, you cash in on that. Its a place that is wide open and all issues being discussed there. If youre a real spy, maybe they do it on purpose. Like right in front of your face, you know what im saying . I dont know, phil. I suspect that there probably are all kinds of grifters and hangers on trying to get in there. You are thinking there must be some sort of pot of gold. Great information. Phil, go ahead. I think there is a secondary question that youre touching on here, don, and that is we keep talking about a spy as someone has to be sent in by the chinese state. I look and say there are secondary questions youre talking about, for example, industrial easy podspionage. What are her business interests . There is something behind this, i just dont think its the Chinese Intelligence Services per se. I dont think so. She also said she had a Wells Fargo Bank account because she was looking for a Business Partner in the United States but nothing had panned out. Does that raise any red flags to you . Not really. I mean, i looked at all the data behind her, including the wells fargo case that youre talking about, and theres a lot of information that suggests that she did have some planning behind this. So that piece of data tells me that she didnt just stroll into the United States and say, i want to walk up to maralago, but, man, the Unanswered Questions here are bigger than the answered one. I cant quite figure out what shes up to. And by the way, what she thought she was going to do once she got in there. She couldnt figure out whether she was going to the pool or to a u. N. Event. Thats her story . Something wrong here. Come on, don, shes an embarrassment for spies globally. We dont know if shes a spy or someone who has got some issues, right . Yeah. But, i mean the president said hes not worried about it. Thats the bigger issue here. Look, we know the president has a loose relationship with his own security. We know about his cell phones. Those cell phone calls he talks to his friends on totally insecure. We know hes bragged about classified information with the Russian Foreign minister and ambassador in the oval office. Thats something that voters have to decide. The president can do all of this. He has the right to classify and declassify anything he wants. If voters are okay with this, they can vote that way, but its something worth debating a little bit. Thank you, guys. Spies everywhere. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it.

President trump says that he is recommending herman cain, a former pizza executive and a 2012 republican president ial contender, for a seat on the Federal Reserve board. Cain dropped his bid amid Sexual Harassment allegations, allegations he denied. Good evening to both of you. So, katherine, the Federal Reserve is the most powerful central bank in the world. Herman cain, do you think hes a good choice . No. No, absolutely not. Look, maybe the Federal Reserve, the most powerful central bank in the world, thats a very apt description, can withstand one very disruptive factual challenged appointment to that board, ie steven moore, who was announced a couple of weeks ago. I dont think they can withstand two. Both of these candidates, neither of which has had their nomination submitted to the senate at this point. Right. Both of them would politicize what absolutely needs to be the other candidate being Steven Steven moore. And herman cain. Both historically inflation hawks. People who advise the central back to raise Interest Rates because theyre very worried about inflation. Have suddenly changed their tune now that a republican is in office, and instead they are saying that we should fear nonexistent deflation and we should pump more money into the economy just as, of course, that republican in the white house is up for reelection. Is he a good choice, scott . Hes going to need a very thorough vetting. You know, obviously you have a background check process before your nomination gets submitted and then hes going to need a very thorough vetting by the committee. Let me ask, do you think he would be confirmed . Well, i think when you go before a
