>>THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS JUST PUBLISHED AN EXPLOSIVE REPORT
INDICATING THAT SOURCES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE HAVE LEAKED
INFORMATION THAT DONALD TRUMP, BACK IN JUNE 2017, WANTED TO
FIRE ROBERT MUELLER, THE SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATING RUSSIAN
COLLUSION AND ALSO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.
NOW, WHAT WE KNOW FROM THIS REPORT IS THAT THEY SPOKE TO AT
LEAST FOUR INDIVIDUALS WHO KNOW ABOUT THE MATTER, THEY WISH TO
REMAIN ANONYMOUS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, BUT TRUMP WAS REALLY
PUSHING TO FIRE MUELLER BUT DON MCGAHN, THE WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL,
WAS LIKE, HOMEBOY, YOU AIN'T DOING THAT.
THAT'S A BAD IDEA.
>>THAT'S A DIRECT QUOTE.
>>IN FACT, IF YOU DO THAT I WILL QUIT MY JOB.
>>AND TRUMP SAID, WHY ARE YOU TALKING LIKE A BLACK GUY?
>>TRUMP APPARENTLY HAD MENTIONED CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
INVOLVING MUELLER FOR HIS REASONING AS TO WHY IT MADE
SENSE TO FIRE HIM.
AGAIN, TRUMP DIDN'T END UP FIRING MUELLER
BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT MCGAHN WOULD NOT HAVE IT, BUT LET ME
TELL YOU WHAT THE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WERE, AT LEAST FROM
TRUMP'S PERSPECTIVE --
>>THAT IS A LONG GAME PLAYED BY BOB MUELLER, THAT IS HOLD, HOLD,
HOLD FOR YEARS.
>>ONE DAY YOU ARE GOING TO LEVERAGE YOURSELF INTO THE
PRESIDENCY, I WILL GET IN CHARGE OF AN INVESTIGATION OF YOU, AND
THEN --
>>YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE RAISED MY FEES BY $20.
>>THERE IS MORE --
>>BUT WOULDN'T THAT BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST THAT WOULD
POTENTIALLY BENEFIT TRUMP?
>>MAYBE THE CONFLICT IS BETWEEN TRUMP AND JARED AROUND IVANKA.
>>BUT ALSO RECALL THAT WHEN TRUMP WAS WORKING IT OUT WITH
ROD ROSENSTEIN, THAT INITIALLY HIS COMPLAINT FOR FIRING COMEY,
WHICH HE THEN TOOK OWNERSHIP OF IN THE LESTER HOLT INTERVIEW,
WAS MISHANDLING TO HILLARY CLINTON INVESTIGATION, BUT MISS
HANDLING IT BECAUSE OF THE INCREDIBLY DEROGATORY SPEECH
COMEY MADE ABOUT CLINTON IN ANNOUNCING THERE WOULD BE NO
CHARGES.
AGAIN, BOTH OF THESE THINGS SHOW THAT THEY ARE
LOOKING FOR THINGS, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE THINGS ARE.
>>FINALLY, TRUMP SAID THAT --
>>SO THAT WAS THE THIRD POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
TRUMP HAD CITED, BUT AGAIN, DONALD MCGAHN DIDN'T BUY ANY OF
IT.
IN FACT --
>>THE MOST IMPORTANT CONTEXT HERE IS MCGAHN, AND WHO HE IS.
IS HE A WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL WHO WAS ALREADY THERE?
LIKE THE
DOCTOR WHO WAS ALREADY THERE, SO WHEN HE SAID TRUMP WAS IN GOOD
HEALTH PEOPLE WERE A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT IT BUT THEY WERE
LIKE THAT'S A RESPECTED DOCTOR, HE DID OBAMA, HE DID TRUMP --
MCGAHN, IT IS NOT THE CASE.
HE'S BEEN AN ASSOCIATE OF TRUMP FOR A
LONG TIME, HE WAS THE MAIN LAWYER ON THE CAMPAIGN.
NOT ONLY
THAT, HE GOES TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND HE HELPS DONALD TRUMP A)
FIRE JAMES COMEY BLOB, HE WAS OKAY WITH THAT, HE WAS PART OF
THAT DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, B)
HE TRIED TO PRESSURE JEFF
SESSIONS TO NOT RECUSE HIMSELF FROM THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION.
SO MCGAHN IS SOLIDLY, MASSIVELY ON TRUMP'S SIDE THROUGHOUT.
HE'S
NOT AN INDEPENDENT SOURCE, OF COURSE HE'S A REPUBLICAN, WORKED
ON THE F.E.C.
BEFORE, BUT HE'S NOT JUST A RANDOM REPUBLICAN OR
AN ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN, HE'S A DEEP TRUMP ALLY.
BUT EVEN
HIM, WHEN TRUMP SAYS NOW LET'S FIRE THE NEXT GUY INVESTIGATING
ME, DON MCGAHN THROWS UP HIS HANDS AND GOES, NO, THAT'S
CRAZY.
IF WE FIRE TWO PEOPLE INVESTIGATING YOU, ONE, IT LOOKS
LIKE YOU DEFINITELY DID IT, TWO, THAT'S DEFINITELY OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE, AND AT THAT POINT HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN CONCERNED, THREE
STRIKES AND I'M ALSO OUT.
IF I HELP YOU OBSTRUCT JUSTICE THREE
DIFFERENT TIMES I MIGHT BE IN LEGAL JEOPARDY.
BUT EITHER WAY,
A PRINCIPLED ACTION IN THIS REGARD, MUELLER DOESN'T GET
FIRED, AND MCGAHN IS PARTLY RIGHT, HE'S CERTAINLY RIGHT THAT
IT WOULD'VE CAUSED AN ENORMOUS CONTROVERSY AND MAY BE TAKEN
DOWN FROM EARLIER.
>>ANOTHER COMPONENT TO THIS STORY IS THE ROLE OF TY COBB
WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATION.
>>THAT WILL NEVER, EVER MAKE ME NOT LAUGH.
HIS NAME IS TY COBB,
SECOND GREATEST HITTER IN BASEBALL HISTORY.
AND HE'S HIS
GRANDSON, RIGHT?
>>I THOUGHT HE WAS THE GRANDSON OF THE GUY WHO INVENTED THE COBB
SALAD.
>>TYRUS RAYMOND COBB, HE WAS BASEBALL'S MOST NOTORIOUS RACIST
AND DIRTIEST PLAYER.
>>BUT A GOOD HITTER?
>>AN UNBELIEVABLE ONE.
>>TRUMP SAYS HE'S THE GREATEST MAN IN BASEBALL HISTORY BESIDES
ME.
>>THERE'S A GREAT LINE IN FIELD OF DREAMS ABOUT HOW WHEN THE
GUYS COME TO THE FIELD TO PLAY AND THEY ARE LIKE, COBB WANTS TO
PLAY BUT NONE OF US COULD STAND HIM WHEN HE WAS ALIVE AND WE
HATE HIM NOW TOO.
>>THAT WAS INTERESTING.
>>I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS BUT TY COBB WAS ALSO A VERY
STABLE GENIUS.
>>SO TY COBB HAS ALSO BEEN URGING TRUMP BEHIND THE SCENES
TO COOPERATE WITH MUELLER.
CHANGE THE RHETORIC INVOLVING
THIS INVESTIGATION AND JUST COOPERATE BECAUSE YOU WILL DO
BETTER COOPERATING AS OPPOSED TO JUST FIRING PEOPLE.
THAT WAS AN
IMPORTANT COMPONENT FOR ME PERSONALLY BECAUSE TRUMP IS THE
MOST INCONSISTENT PERSON IMAGINABLE WHEN IT COMES TO
PUBLIC STATEMENTS ABOUT THIS INVESTIGATION.
HE GOES FROM
TRASHING MUELLER AND TALKING ABOUT HOW HE CAN'T BE IMPARTIAL
PUBLICLY, AND THEN HE GOES ON INTERVIEWS TALKING ABOUT HOW HE
THINKS MUELLER WILL BE COMPLETELY FAIR AND HE CAN'T
WAIT TO TALK TO HIM.
IT'S INTERESTING, AND THERE ARE
FORCES BEHIND THE SCENES THAT ARE URGING TRUMP TO BEHAVE A
CERTAIN WAY AND TO SOME EXTENT HE IS LISTENING, WHICH IS
FASCINATING.
>>I THINK IT'S TRUE THAT HE'S A CHILD -- AND I DON'T EVEN WANT
TO SAY THAT, THAT'S AN INSULT TO CHILDREN, HE HAS AN ADDLED BRAIN
AND HE'S A RELENTLESS, DELUSIONAL NARCISSIST, AND
OBVIOUSLY THERE IS THIS DYNAMIC WHERE THE LAST PERSON TO TALK TO
HIM HE LISTENS TO.
BUT WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT, I THINK IT'S
GOOD THAT THERE'S PUSHBACK INSIDE THE ADMINISTRATION BUT
I'M NOT CONVINCED AT ALL BUT IF HE FIRES MUELLER THAT
REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS WILL DO A THING.
AND I THINK THE DYNAMIC
IS STARTING TO WORK NOW FOR ALL OF THE DRAMA, THAT WHEN HE FIRST
GOT INTO OFFICE THEY WERE LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS CASE
HOOKLINED INTO THE BLOODSTREAM OF PART OF OUR BASE, HE KNOWS
HOW TO SPEAK TO THEM, HE'S AN IDIOT AND A NARCISSIST AND HE'S
GOOD AT MEDIA, LET'S LET HIM DO THAT AND THEN WE WILL RUN
THROUGH THE AGENDA.
TAX GIVEAWAYS TO OLIGARCHS, GET RID
OF HEALTHCARE, THE WHOLE THING.
AND IT'S STARTING TO KIND OF
WORK, THAT'S WHY YOU SEE PEOPLE LIKE GRAHAM WHO SEVERAL MONTHS
AGO ARE LIKE, HE BETTER NOT DO THAT, MY LORD -- NOW ALL OF A
SUDDEN A LOT OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF
MONTHS HAVE STARTED TO MAKE NOISES ABOUT THIS INVESTIGATION
AND MUELLER.
I THINK THE BROADER PICTURE IS THAT THE ENTIRE PARTY
IS RUNNING INTERFERENCE FOR HIM AND THERE WOULDN'T BE
ACCOUNTABILITY IF HE DID THIS MOVE.
>>CAN I JUMP IN BECAUSE I AGREE WITH YOU FOR OTHER REASONS.
YOU
KNOW WHO LOVES TRUMP?
EVEN IF SO-CALLED ESTABLISHMENT
REPUBLICANS HATE HIM, THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE TRUMP ARE THE DONORS,
BECAUSE HE WILL CONSISTENTLY DO FAVORS FOR THE DONORS.
AND THE
DONORS ARE THE ONES FUNDING THE REPUBLICANS, ESTABLISHMENT
REPUBLICANS.
SO I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT REPUBLICANS WILL DO WHAT
THEY CAN TO AVOID IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS SHOULD MUELLER'S
INVESTIGATION FIND IMPEACH OF OFFENSES.
>>HE'S POPULAR WITH THE BASE AND THE DONORS, IMPEACHMENT
IS NOT HAPPENING.
>>I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S POPULAR WITH THE DONORS, BECAUSE WHOEVER
REPLACES HIM WILL ALSO BE POPULAR WITH THE DONORS.
THERE'S
NO RISK THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN MIKE PENCE WILL STAND UP TO THE
KOCH BROTHERS OR THEIR ILK.
THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED, SO WHAT
MICHAEL SAID I THINK IS UNDOUBTEDLY TRUE.
NOW IT'S THIS
EUPHORIA OF WE DID IT, WE HAD TO DO ONE THING -- MY GUESS IS THEY
WANTED THIS MORE THAN REPEALING HEALTHCARE.
>>DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY.
>>THIS IS THE GENERATIONAL PROJECTS.
>>I RETWEETED TODAY, THE KOCH BROTHERS BET $20 MILLION, THEY
WILL MAKE OVER A BILLION A YEAR IN TAXES SAVED, IT'S THE BEST
RETURN ON INVESTMENT YOU COULD IMAGINE.
ELECTORAL POLITICS IS
THE ONLY CONCEIVABLE THING THAT WILL PUSH CONGRESS TO DO
ANYTHING.
IT'S SIGNIFICANT THAT WE'VE TURNED THE CALENDAR, IT'S
2018, WE ARE IN AN ELECTION YEAR, AND IF THEY WANT TO DO
MORE THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.
SO IT MAY SUIT
THEM AT SOME POINT TO SAY, ALL RIGHT, WE WILL STAND UP TO THIS
GUY AND THEN WE WILL ALL BASK IN THE EUPHORIA.
>>BUT THERE'S AN ASYMMETRY BETWEEN NATIONAL NUMBERS AND
WHAT IS REWARDED IN THOSE NARROWLY DRAWN DISTRICTS WHERE
HE'S POPULAR.
>>I GOTCHA, BUT YOU KNOW THEY ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING THE
HOUSE.
>>IT WILL MAKE WHAT REMAINS EVEN MORE INTRANSIGENT THOUGH.
>>NO PRINCIPLED STAND WILL BE TAKEN, THEY ARE INDIFFERENT TO
THAT.
>>THAT'S THE NAME OF THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY I'M WORKING ON, NO
PRINCIPLED STAND.
>>IT WILL ALL BE POLITICAL COPULATION.
SO WHY DID I SAY
THAT MCGAHN WAS ONLY PARTLY RIGHT?
OF COURSE HE IS RIGHT ON
LEGAL GROUNDS, DON'T OBSTRUCT JUSTICE, DON'T KEEP FIRING
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS WHO ARE INVESTIGATING YOU, BUT THE ONE
THING HE MISCALCULATES AND TY COBB MISCALCULATES WHEN THEY
TELL HIM TO COOPERATE WITH MUELLER, THEY ARE UNDER THE
IMPRESSION THAT TRUMP DIDN'T DO IT.
THERE HIS LAWYERS, I'M SURE
THEY ASK HIM DONALD, BE HONEST WITH US, THIS IS PROTECTED AND
YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING YOU WANT TO US BUT WE HAVE TO KNOW IN ORDER
TO DEFEND YOU, DID YOU DO IT?
YOU KNOW TRUMP IS WANT TO SAY NO
WAY, MY INTEGRITY IS BIGLY, IT'S TREMENDOUS.
HE'S NOT GOING TO
ADMIT IT EVEN TO HIS OWN LAWYERS.
SO THOSE KNUCKLEHEAD
LAWYERS THINK TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE A CONNECTION TO THE RUSSIANS.
SO
IF YOU THINK HE DOESN'T HAVE THAT CONNECTION YOU SHOULD
ADVISOR CLIENT, DON'T FIRE THE GUY INVESTIGATING YOU.
YOU WILL
LOOK INCREDIBLY GUILTY AND IT MIGHT LEAD YOU DOWN A
TREACHEROUS POLITICAL PATH, AND TREACHEROUS LEGAL PATH, WHEN YOU
DON'T NEED TO BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T DO IT.
WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW IS,
HE DID IT.
THAT'S WHY HE'S TRYING TO FIRE EVERYONE.
>>ARE THEY THAT NAÏVE?
>>I DON'T THINK THEY ARE.
WE AREN'T AS CLOSE TO TRUMP AS THEY
ARE, AND IT'S SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS THAT HE HAD SOME SORT OF
FINANCIAL DEAL WITH THE RUSSIANS AT THE VERY LEAST.
>>I WOULD BE SHOCKED IF A) TRUMP TOLD THEM HE DID IT, I
WOULD BE SHOCKED B)
IF HE HAD GIVEN THEM ANY KIND OF EVIDENCE
THAT HE HAS DONE IT. AND THEY ARE HIS LAWYERS, SO THEY HAVE TO
GET THEMSELVES TO BELIEVE THAT THEIR CLIENT IS INNOCENT.
SO
THEY DON'T HAVE TO, BUT THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT THEMSELVES IN
THE MIRROR EVERY DAY. AND GIVEN NO COUNTEREVIDENCE, AND THEY
AREN'T GOING TO INVESTIGATE AND LOOK INTO HIS BANK ACCOUNT TO
SEE IF HE WAS DOING MONEY-LAUNDERING FOR RUSSIAN
OLIGARCHS, THEY ARE GOING TO SAY WHY WOULD YOU FIRE HIM?
>>THAT SEEMS WILDLY SPECULATIVE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
WE WILL FIND, I THINK WE WILL FIND A CLEAR OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE CASE BUT THOSE ARE HARD TO MAKE, CERTAINLY POLITICALLY,
AND IT'S CERTAINLY HARD TO GET 67 SENATORS TO VOTE YOU OUT OF
OFFICE.
>>I THINK WHAT THEY KNOW IS THAT IF YOU FISH AROUND THIS
GUY'S FINANCES, ESPECIALLY WITH RUSSIA, AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE
ON MUELLER'S TEAM AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND HAVE RUN
MONEY-LAUNDERING CASES -- THAT'S WHAT THE GUY DOES.
THERE WAS A
REPORT ON A HOTEL IN PANAMA --
>>BUT SUPPOSE THEY FIND MASSIVE FINANCIAL MALFEASANCE THAT, MY
HUNCH, IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO SWINGING THE ELECTION.
BECAUSE FACEBOOK ADS SWUNG THE ELECTION, WHATEVER, RUSSIAN
INTERFERENCE IN THE ELECTION DOESN'T MEAN THERE WAS TRUMP
COLLUSION TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
BUT STILL, YOU HAVE AMPLE
OPPORTUNITY TO FIGHT THAT POLITICALLY.
BECAUSE EVEN IF
THAT HAPPENS TRUMP WILL SAY THIS IS A PARTISAN IN THE SAGACIOUS,
SO YOUR LAWYER MIGHT THINK WE WILL WIN THIS POLITICALLY.
HE'S
NOT GOING TO PRISON.
>>I THINK HE COULD.
>>ALSO, DO YOU THINK BY THE WAY THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN DONALD
TRUMP -- WE'VE SEEN MICHAEL COHEN -- I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT MCGAHN IT EXCEPT THAT HE HAS BEHAVED POORLY IN GENERAL --
THERE'S NO RECORD OF TRUMP HAVING THE BEST LAWYERS, SO THIS
IS BY FAR THE MOST PRINCIPLED THING WE HAVE SEEN DON
MCGAHN DO IN THREATENED TO QUIT.
>>I WANTED TO JUMP IN QUICKLY IN REGARD TO THE OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE CHARGES.
IF THEY DO CHARGE HIM WITH OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE IT'S INCREDIBLY HARD TO PROVE OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE,
AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS YOU HAVE TO PROVE INTENT.
AND IT'S
INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO DO THAT.
>>HOW CAN YOU PROVE I INTENDED ANYTHING?
I'M BARELY COGNITIVELY
FUNCTIONING.
>>BUT THIS ISN'T A CASE BEFORE A FEDERAL JURY IN COURT, THIS IS
ABOUT GETTING THE HOUSE TO VOTE TO IMPEACH AND THEN TWO THIRDS
OF THE SENATE TO REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE, IT'S NOT GOING TO
HAPPEN.
UNLESS IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY OVERWHELMING AND
IT BECOMES POLITICALLY -- UNTIL -- FOR A LONG TIME IN WATERGATE
THE REPUBLICANS HELD AND HELD AND HELD AND HELD, AND THEN
REALLY ONLY AT THE END WITH THE TAPES, ONLY THEN DID THE
REPUBLICANS SAY -- THEY RAN INTERFERENCE FOR RICHARD NIXON
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
>>I THINK THERE IS NO QUESTION HE WILL RUN FOR REELECTION IN
2020 AS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE, I CAN'T PICTURE A SCENARIO WHERE
THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
>>I CAN.
>>I HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT.
>>LET ME BREAK DOWN THE ARRAY OF POTENTIAL CHARGES.
I THINK
THERE'S A LOT OF MISCOMMUNICATION INCLUDING ON
OUR PART, I WANT TO BE CLEAR -- INTERFERENCE IN THE ELECTION,
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IF ROBERT MUELLER SAYS I GOT HIM, IT TURNS
OUT A COUPLE OF HIS STAFFERS TALK TO THE RUSSIANS AND THEN
THE RUSSIANS RAN FACEBOOK ADS, THAT'S NOTHING.
THAT'S NOT THE
THING YOU TAKE A PRESIDENT DOWN ON.
THAT'S WHAT THE DEMOCRATS
THINK, THEY STARTED THIS WARPATH BASED ON THAT FLIMSY B.S.,
HILARY WOULD HAVE WON IF IT WASN'T FOR THOSE DASTARDLY
RUSSIANS WHO BOUGHT FACEBOOK ADS.
>>BUT EVEN IF THEY PROVE THAT SHE WOULD HAVE ONE IT STILL
DOESN'T MAKE DIFFERENCE.
>>THE RUSSIANS TOLD HER TO CAMPAIGN WITH LENA DUNHAM.
>>IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE FOLKS WHO THINKS THAT'S WHAT COLLUSION
WITH RUSSIA MEANS AND THAT'S NOTHING, I AGREE WITH YOU.
THEN
THERE'S THE SECOND CHARGE OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
NOW,
IT'S PATENTLY OBVIOUS THAT HE DID OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
WHETHER YOU CAN PROVE INTENT IS A DIFFERENT QUESTION, BUT THE
MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION AND THE HARDER ONE IS THE ONE BEN IS
TALKING ABOUT, YOU WILL HAVE TO FLIP REPUBLICANS INTO VOTING
AGAINST HIM, THEREBY ENRAGING HIS BASE WHICH IS STRONG IN
THEIR DISTRICTS, ESPECIALLY AT THE PRIMARY LEVEL AS MICHAEL
POINTS OUT.
THAT WILL BE DIFFICULT.
MAYBE, BUT REALLY DIFFICULT.
>>IMPOSSIBLE, I THINK.
>>BORDERLINE.
MY CONTENTION IS, AND I DON'T KNOW IF MUELLER WILL
GET THERE, IS IF HE'S IN HIS BANK ACCOUNT AT DEUTSCHE BANK
AND HE HAS HIS TAX RETURNS, ETC., HE WILL SEE THAT DON'T
TRUMP HAS BEEN DOING MONEY-LAUNDERING FOR THE
RUSSIANS FOR DECADES.
AND THAT IS A MASSIVE CRIME.
NOW, THIS IS
THE HARDEST PART, FINDING DIRECT EVIDENCE OF DONALD TRUMP SOMEHOW
SAYING TO THE RUSSIANS, I WILL NOW WORK FOR YOU -- THAT'S
SUPER HARD.
YOU DON'T NEED THAT, IF YOU CAN PROVE
MONEY-LAUNDERING HE'S IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE, BUT IF HE HAS
ANYTHING ALONG THE LINES OF, HEY, YOU FORGIVE ALL MY DEBTS, I
FORGIVE THE SANCTIONS IF I'M PRESIDENT, THEN OF COURSE HE'S
TOAST, EVEN REPUBLICANS CAN'T WITHSTAND THAT.
WATCH I WOULD
IMAGINE THAT HE HAS LAUNDERED MONEY FOR, IF I HAD TO GUESS,
NOT JUST RUSSIANS.
WHEN HE MADE THE COMMENTS ABOUT HAITI I
THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO SAY, I LAUNDERED MONEY FOR THEIR
DICTATOR, HOW CAN YOU SAY I'M RACIST?
IF THAT'S WHERE IT GOES
THEY WILL GET HIM AND SOMETHING.
I STILL DON'T THINK IT FLIPS
REPUBLICAN VOTES.
UNLESS IT'S LIKE A TAPE.
>>MAYBE THE RUSSIANS HAVE THE TAPE.
WHO CARES ABOUT PEE TAPE?
THE GUY SLEPT WITH A PORN STAR, PAID HER HUSH MONEY FROM THE
CAMPAIGN -- PEE TAPE?
WHO CARES.
>>NONE OF THAT MATTERS EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IF IT WERE A
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT THEY WOULD BE IMPEACHED.
>>SO THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS COMING TO THE
RUSSIANS HAVE GOODS ON HIM WHERE HE EMAILED, WROTE A LETTER, OR
TALKED WHEN HE DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS BEING TAPED SAYING YES I
WILL DO A DEAL.
EVEN IF THEY NEVER GET THAT, WHICH WOULD BE
EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFICULT TO GET, AND THEY SHOW
MONEY-LAUNDERING, AND I'M RIGHT, THAT'S A BIG IF, MAYBE I'M WRONG
AND HE NEVER DID MONEY-LAUNDERING -- IF WE ARE
RIGHT ABOUT THE MONEY-LAUNDERING, THAT'S A
DIFFERENT BALL OF WAX.
BECAUSE UNLIKE US, THE OVERWHELMING
MAJORITY OF AMERICANS RIGHT NOW HAVE NO IDEA THAT TRUMP MIGHT
HAVE DONE MONEY-LAUNDERING.
AND THEY WILL BE SHOCKED BY IT,
ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED.
SO I THINK THAT'S A DIFFERENT BALLGAME AND
HE CAN GO DOWN ON THAT.
>>I HAVE A TOUGH TIME BELIEVING THAT BUT AGAIN, IT'S ALL
POLITICAL CALCULUS.
IT ALL COMES TO REPUBLICANS SAYING THE BEST
THING FOR A PARTY GOING FORWARD IS NOT TO HAVE THIS GUY AT THE
FRONT OF THE TICKET.
AND WHEN THAT CALCULATION IS MADE THEY
WILL CAST HIM LOOSE, THEY HAVE THEIR TAX CUT AND THEY WILL MOVE
HIM OUT.
