attorney s office for southern district of new york, against michael cohen relates to a potential f.e.c., federal lex commission, violation of an illegal campaign fund. at a midnight conversation with rudy juliany, he said to me this takes that off the table. now, can you probably argue legally one way or the other whether it does, in fact, or whether it puts you in more legal jeopardy. one thing that seems to have been illuminated, is i don t know if you want to say a contribution or flat-out untrue statement, back on february 13, michael cohen, when this first became public, said neither the trump organization nor the trump campaign was a party to the transaction with s m clifford, stormy daniels, neither reimbursed me for the payment directly or indirectly. we know that s not the case. maybe it wasn t the campaign that reimbursed him, but cohen did get reimbursed for this whole thing. i want to play one other statement from michael avenati, stormy daniels lawyer.
ms. clifford. they rowlize that the campaign finance issue that, may be the bigger legal fish they have to reel in. guiliani was trying to take care of that. but at the same time, he opens up the president to so much more skepticism and criticism saying that michael cohen was there to take care of these things. that s what is problematic, there might be other things like that, that were paid for by the wolf, by the cleaner f there s a pattern of that, that s what i would be concerned with. not stormy daniels, go away michael avenati. john roberts said it right, he s doing a snoopy dance, this is what he wanted. isn t there a messaging problem. john roberts alluded to that. president trump and his team they have been behind continuously when it comes to the stormy daniels story. why not two months ago when it came public and the president realized where the money went. why not come out then and articulate and be transparent with the american people who went on, exactly what he knew.
