BREAKING: Trump Destroys 'Weak, Liar' Cohen In Explosive New VIDEO
he put out a statement talking about a project which was essentially I guess
more or less of an option that we were looking at in Moscow everybody knew
about it it was written about in newspapers it was a well known project
it was during the early part of 16 and I guess even before that it lasted a short
period of time I didn't do the project I decided not to do the project so I
didn't do it so we're not talking about doing a project we're talking about not
doing the project Michael Kohn what he's doing is he was convicted I guess you'll
have to put it into legal terms but he was convicted with a fairly long term
sentence on things totally unrelated to the Trump Organization having to do with
mortgages and having to do with cheating the IRS perhaps a lot of different
things I don't know exactly but he was convicted of various things unrelated to
us he was given a fairly long jail sentence and he's a weak person and by
being weak unlike other people that you watch he's a weak person and what he's
trying to do is get a reduced sentence so he's lying about a project that
everybody knew about I mean we were very open with it we were thinking about
building a building I guess we had in a form that was an option I don't know
what you'd call it we decided I decided ultimately not to
do it there would have been nothing wrong if I did do it if I did do it
there would have been nothing wrong that's what's my business
so he's lying very simply to get a reduced sentence I don't know when I
decided but somewhere during the period of time I was never very enthused
somewhere during the period because I was running for president my focus was
running for president but I when I run for president that doesn't mean I'm not
allowed to do business I was doing a lot of different things when I was running
after I won obviously I don't do business when from January 20th but more
importantly I ran a business in fact I often joke about the fact that I was the
only person that campaigns and simultaneously ran a business but that
was that was a project that we didn't do I didn't do that was the project that
wasn't done for a lot of reasons number one is that I was really not that I had
to do it but I was focused and running for president I wanted that to be my
primary focus not running or building a building
well this was a deal that didn't happen that was no deal I mean if you look this
was an option I guess I don't know if I want it I want to be very specific but
to my way of thinking it was an option that I decided not to do so excuse me
excuse me this was an option in a forum but here's
very simple we had a position to possibly do a deal to build a building
of some kind in Moscow I decided not to do it the primary reason that could have
been other reasons but the primary reason it was very simple I was focused
on running for president there would be nothing wrong if I did do it I was
running my business while I was campaigning there was a good chance that
I wouldn't have won in which case I would have gotten back into the business
and why should I lose lots of opportunities so here's the story go
back and look at the paper that Michael Kohn wrote before he testified in the
house and or tennis it talked about his position what he's trying to do because
he's a weak person I'm not a very smart person what he's trying to do is end and
it's very simple we've got himself a big prison set and
he's trying to get a much lesser prison sentence by making up the story now
here's the thing he was right it doesn't matter because I
was allowed to do whatever I wanted jury the campaign I was running my business a
lot of different things during the campaign so very simply Michael Kohn is
lying and he's trying to get a reduced sentence but things that have nothing to
do with me now let me go a step further I think you should go back I think Allah
January it was just reported very well by Catherine Herridge it's terrifically
broader Orbach he talks about a letter that he signs I don't even remember it
and it specifically talks about this deal this deal was a very public deal
everybody knows about this deal I wasn't trying to hide it okay
we're gonna talk about it but we have a lot of we have a lot of things
I think we're very close to doing something with China but I don't know
that I want to do it because what we have right now is billions and billions
of dollars coming into the United States in the form of Paris or taxes so I
really don't know but I will tell you that I think China wants to make a deal
I'm open to making a deal but frankly I like to deal we have right now I
probably will be meeting with President Putin we haven't terminated that meeting
I was thinking about it but we haven't they'd like to have it I think it's a
very good time to have the meeting I'm getting a full report on the plane as to
what happened with respect to that and that will determine what I'm going to be
well I have a couple of reports we're getting a finalized report are you
talking about on the Russian situation with the ship and the Ukraine yeah we're
getting a finalized report I'm gonna have it on the plane sometimes it just
wasn't set up
it only wasn't set up I mean I would I would have met with him but we didn't
set that one up by meeting with President Xi which is a very important
meeting happen to do with trade and as you know I'm making about three or four
meetings we just didn't have time
I'm gonna bring it up yes
I don't hear you gotta talk see that you have a helicopter
no the question was asked yesterday about parties with respect to Paul
Manafort who it's very sad what's happened to Paul
the way he's being treated I've never seen anybody treated so poorly but the
question was asked to me by the New York Post and I said no I have not offered
any party and I think they asked for whatever would you I said I'm not taking
anything off the table that was done as a question from the New York
because the long time ago he did me a favor a long time ago he did me a favor
just take a look at his written document go back take a look at what he wrote and
I think January is a written statement and that's the back
I don't know what the helicopter
Special Counsel investigation is accelerating at some point possibly soon
we're going to see Robert Muller's report or parts of it it was not
released to the public parts of it will certainly be leaked we'll have that
information the question is how should we assess it Alan Dershowitz has thought
a lot about this question he's a retired Harvard Law School professor author of
the case against impeaching Trump and he joins us tonight professor thanks for
coming on so are we likely to see this report in whole or part and what should
we think when we do well first we will eventually see much
of the report probably the whole report eventually but we should never see it
until we also see the president's legal team rebuttal because otherwise it's a
completely one-sided presentation remember it's like an indictment even
though it won't be an indictment it's one-sided it's based on the testimony
only of witnesses that the prosecution sought to call and as everybody knows an
indictment can't be used as evidence of guilt it doesn't undercut the
presumption of innocence it's just a charging document and that's the way we
ought to read the report issued by Muller it's simply an accusation and we
must see the other side of the story before we can come to any conclusion
somehow people think it deserves more credibility because it's a Special
Counsel report but that's not true Special Counsel is just another
prosecutor looking at one side of the case and he will present a one-sided
account which will be very critical of his subjects so the report there's no
requirement that the report has balance in it or shows both sides of any
question quite the opposite it's a prosecutorial
report it will not show balance anybody who expects balance fairness nuance is
looking at the wrong kind of document you can't have balance when you haven't
heard the other side of the story when you haven't called witnesses who might
be exculpatory when you've only tried to put together a prosecutorial case and
that's why it's essential that the president's team be permitted to issue
their own report at the same time the Muller report is issued interesting so
the people who said we need a special counsel investigation to find out what
happened as an informational exercise we're lying to us so let me ask you a
more fundamental question about this but absolutely yeah so every person who
wields power in our society by design has some sort of oversight we can we can
defeat our elected representatives and elections we can recall or impeach our
president or judges the special counsel were told can't be fired because that
itself would be an impeachable offense so is there oversight of any kind of the
special counsel well first of all firing the special counsel would not be an
impeachable offense because it wouldn't be a crime the president would have the
authority to do it it would be politically very damaging to right away
look technically there is oversight over the special counsel in the percentage of
the Attorney General of course our Attorney General was recused now we have
an acting Attorney General but the regulations provide that the Attorney
General is not supposed to micromanage the work of the special counsel he's not
like any other US Attorney who's under the direct supervision the ultimate
control the Attorney General has is whether to release the report under what
circumstances to release the report whether to redact parts of the report
whether to reject parts of the report and send it back to the special counsel
and say look you didn't do a good enough job go back to the drawing board and do
it again it's unlikely any of those things will occur except I think that
the Attorney General would be wise to demand that before the special counsel
report is released to the public or even Takei
that the president's legal team be given an opportunity to review and rebut it
and provide their own report then the American public in Congress can see both
sides in tandem and make an intelligent decision as to where the right is and
how to bring nuance and find the truth the truth is best achieved through an
adversarial process through presenting all sides of an issue not presenting one
side of an issue that's the whole premise of this show by the way
professor thank you great to see you tonight thank you thank you god bless
you and God bless america
