Daniels. and i think you just released today, i think nbc had it and we are showing it, two things on that, one michael cohn, where he sign signed it, he is described as the well, anderson, we believe this to be a smoking gun e-mail for the following reasons. first of all, the date, february 22, 2018. it s approximately one month ago. it s an e-mail that michael cohen sent to my client s former attorney. and michael cohen inserted the subject as pp versus dd, nda. why is that important? first of all, your viewers already know that pp basically were the initials basically for the alias of my client, and dd are the initials for the alias for mr. trump. mr. cohen, in this document that he drafted listed the subject as ....
