You kw the Edwards C is quite different. The judge-- It's T the judge it's the F.E.C. The F. Roln of E campaigninance law. The justice department prosecuted anyway. They werearrassed. The judge said IFS to help the campaign was yore right the jury nonvict johndwards. No. The evidencnhis case is different. Wrong, Ong, wrong. It has to F the sole purpose. If there's another purpose it's not a aign contrution. Tried to use campaign S toniels. It wouldn'be illegal. If it's not a campaign pe can't be a campaign contribute. The corporation contribution from Ami would be clearly gal. No, iwobe. It's not a contribution. If is tended for a purpose addition to campaign purpose -- in the case O, the payment of million was intd to shut her up and avoid embarrassment with his wife and children. Which is worse?

This a $300 payment. How come Obama was -- those areep violatns as you ow. They were not reporting ations. He has pplte that don't exist. They do N E not human beings. Why do you so much troubl the southern district? Thcase is being run by a Republican appointed by a trump adstration a -- his interetation ofhe law is erroneous. If you to make me Arnt te' T, you don psue a president of the United States for a questioble interpretation of theute. It's completely wrong. It'sar this is -- this special prosecutor was there for collusion. Ho obstructn. Campaign finance -- Tn'ec prosutor. Ithe southerdi I know, but WHE did come from. Who is on top? Rosenstein is on top of . Why Wery in court? They're passing the guy backis trying figure ou-- Nohe got three years where he goammed by T S district -- He did. -- For not operating. Means he's lying.

Then they have the FBI saying he's telling the truth. THA what the FBI said. The FBI said he didn't have characteristics of someone deceivin Jt the oppote. Peter strzok wrote he didn't seem like as living. Hey didn't show the characteristics of somebody that was UT Ty believed he was lying. And C reported the tie didn't bieve he was lying. He ees with T We have lying, prosecution lying, no explanation in the middle. Ave a guy prived of counsel, a guy not shown a document that couave shed his recollection becausehey H hiddener there so they could come back and jam him that's what lk about wn I say perjury trap. You have to Beul. Want tohow what Michael Cohen said about Russia the special sel. To tellhe truth about everything related to Russia. Do younk preside T is lling the uth about that? No. Now the special counsel's office said they found Cohen credible arovided viable formation out Russia lated Matt also about his cots with persons connected to the white housen7 and . Th S to be getting atre collusion and obstruction. Isn't that prosecution by innuendo? Idt they're talking about. Let me ask you-- Let me ask you a few specific S. W that collusion is not a crime. It was over with by the time of election I don't know what evidence he has of THA LE ask you few specific questions. If it didn't happen -- did donaltrump know that Michael Cohen was pursuing the prest trump tor in Moscow into the summer of 2016? According to the answer he gave it coveup to noveer of 2016. He said he conversatns with tm about it the president DI H they know -- Earlier they said the conversations D in januaof the date -- look -- Until you sit down and answer questions and yook at the rs, you dot know WHA happened. That's why lawyers prepare for those answers. Let me ask a second question. Did the president know about don jr.'s meeting with RUSAT trwer? No.at isefinitely he didn't know about . I think it's C at oneime Lenny Davis went outsayingohen had evidence to nt THA they H T witw that. Did rogerneve the president a heads up on wikileaks leaks concerning Hillary inton anthe DNC? Nott all? I don't believe so. If Roger stone gave anybody heads up aboutileaks leaks, that't a crime. It's like a heads up "The times" oing to print something is is whyhi Thi is so weirtr the crimes conspiry to hack. Collusn is not crime. Doesn't exist. Conspiracy to hac the crime. Did Donald Trump engage in a piracy to ckith the they've been going at I with counter intelligence investigate. They came to no evidence. They're grasping for straws. They're alsoooking at ion. D gest to Michl Cohen he would get a pardon if he stayed on the team. I hadonrsations wh his lawyers. The liar can say whatever he wants. I told his law T W discussion of a that doesn't mean the prent doesn't have the. Do not consider it in your thinking now. Has nothi to do with what you shld decide. I think that's one of reass he doucrossed. The CNN and "New York Times" rting you' in discuss with Robert Mueller Abou teiew with president. Are those discussions Goin? 'M not allowo say that the agreement we had contemplated there would be a rio of time after questions we would have a siny further quesons. Yi we are ore aren't that's in the agreement. President trump isn't that se pis discuss in court on fr Aolutely not. He hasn't received a oena If he is, we have outrageous violations of legal ethi have to be served with rs. He might bend seal, but'r Is it possible president talks to Robert Mueller? All I can tyou is the agreemcontemplat our Ving discuioe are any further follow ups or estions.theren no discussion. I have to say watching some of the things they're doing like letting get up andy he was fiercely loyal to Donald Trump, evethough he was taping him and lying to him, something a lawyer never does. He was neverrcely loto nald trumphe's fiercy loyal tohim, to himself. He was in the P Iava client a T him. T and don't tell him. That's not loyal. That's disloyal. 'S T opposite. It shows I'm thig about me and my own skin. The southerntrict said he has thyears. There's a lot ofation to do some singing. He will say whatever he toy. Nged his story four or five times. So has the presid hesident is T under oath. He's trying the best he can to remembha during the time he was the busiest man in the world. I was with him most of thetime. I can't remember a lot of the stuff. Final question -- I go under oatheally think about it and say I can't remember that. I was wrg about who was with me on September 11th. I thouthe fire cmissioner S with me. Turnout late he told MI mem after. That happens in the middle of difficult even ow F your experience. I know that from my tine E house. Final qution, Mueller almost done? Is don I told you the only thinft E parking cks and Jay walking. Mayor Giuliani, thank Yo time.
