Response. let's talk about mr. mueller first. i thought the filing last week that really should chill the white house most thoroughly was the one from michael flynn, because he's at the heart or was certainly in the room where it happens, if you will, on the relationship between the trump campaign, if any, and the russians. he was in moscow, dinner with vladimir putin in december of 2015. he was a high adviser to the president throughout the campaign in the transition, we know during the transition he was in touch with the russians, and i think what's a little chilling for the white house abou...

Danger there, is he not? >> for sure. look, people do that all the time. they go in, and they lie, and they exaggerate to federal investigators all the time. and so far, you know, we have no knowledge that cohen has done that. and, in fact, he's playing sort of an interesting game here. you know, i think asha would agree with me that federal investigators probably wouldn't be so happy with what cohen is doing right now. you know, going to the press instead of going to the government. >> right. >> and, you know, cohen's represented by -- >> remember this, ross, because i got to end it because i...
