Channel: MSNBC
[0]
trump's closest allies are getting their
[2]
day in court and to be honest things
[4]
aren't going that great this week long
[7]
time trump organization cfo alan
[9]
weisselberg pointed the finger at the
[11]
former potus family business when he
[13]
pled guilty to 15 counts related to tax
[16]
fraud
[17]
that's just the beginning rudy giuliani
[19]
spent six hours testifying before a
[21]
grand jury in georgia lindsey graham is
[24]
scheduled to take his turn on the
[26]
witness stand on tuesday and mike pence
[29]
indicated he might just might be willing
[32]
to talk to the january 6 committee if
[34]
asked
[35]
kind of makes you wonder who's going to
[37]
flip first well we'll find out joining
[40]
me now is michael cohen trump's former
[42]
personal attorney
[44]
what info does the january 6 committee
[48]
actually think it could get from from
[50]
mike pence
[52]
look i i don't know what mike pence
[54]
knows other than to say he probably
[56]
knows everything but in your previous
[59]
segment you were talking about flipping
[61]
mike let me put it to you this way
[62]
there's going to be so much flip let me
[64]
do it in donald voice there's going to
[66]
be so much flipping it's going to be
[67]
like watching a gymnastics event i mean
[70]
that's really what we have going on here
[72]
every single person is gonna they all
[75]
know what happened to me none of them
[77]
want to go to prison i mean you have to
[79]
be out of your mind to want to go to
[81]
prison there's going to be so much
[82]
flipping mike you can't imagine right
[85]
and that's just what donald's gonna do
[86]
he likes to play the victim here despite
[89]
the fact that he is responsible for
[92]
everything and you know my i talk about
[94]
in my new upcoming book revenge which is
[96]
you know how donald trump weaponized the
[98]
department of justice to go after his
[101]
critics he's doing the exact same thing
[103]
now he's playing the victim because he
[106]
knows the game plan what's the game plan
[108]
he weaponizes the justice department to
[111]
go against his critics so what does he
[113]
do he deflects which is a prime you know
[116]
um it's a prime part of being a
[117]
narcissist and turns on and says the
[120]
bind administration
[122]
are right now weaponizing the justice
[124]
department to come after me which is why
[126]
they are why they allegedly raided his
[129]
you know mar-a-lago property right
[131]
so so michael i i want to uh i i like
[134]
your point about the flipping um i agree
[136]
with you i think there's going to be a
[137]
whole lot of flipping uh over the next
[139]
few weeks but let's talk a little bit
[141]
about allen weisselberg
[143]
who
[144]
uh is required to testify at the trump
[146]
organization's upcoming trial in october
[149]
i i just don't know how much he's going
[151]
to flip i just get a sense from him that
[153]
he's he's loyal to the bone there's a
[156]
symbiosis between him and trump that i
[158]
don't think he's going to break what
[160]
what am i reading that wrong or is isis
[162]
weiselberg now in a position to to give
[165]
more good goods than he's delivered so
[167]
far
[168]
well like we've talked on you and i when
[170]
you guest on my podcast may occult but
[173]
yeah you're 100 wrong
[175]
trust me the guy's 75 years old mike the
[178]
guy 75 years old you think he wants to
[182]
spend the next 15 years in rikers island
[186]
he's already getting a sweetheart deal
[188]
one substantially greater than what i
[190]
received um you know he's more in terms
[194]
of taxes it's for a longer period of
[196]
time
[200]
that's the whole beauty of the
[201]
weaponization part but what i see is
[204]
that the judge did a very smart thing
[207]
he's not sentencing weisselberg until
[209]
after the trump organization hearing
[213]
meaning they're going to ask him very
[215]
specific questions clearly when the
[217]
personal financial statements were
[219]
altered in order to come up with a
[221]
number far in excess of donald's true
[224]
net worth were you involved yes he has
[228]
to answer yes he already did that's what
[229]
he's pleading guilty to well who else
[231]
was involved let me ask you the question
[233]
specifically was donald trump involved
[235]
in the process at all and if he says no
[238]
rest assured they already know he would
[240]
be lying and that would end the
[242]
agreement this plea deal this amazing
[245]
plea deal that he somehow is getting
[247]
oh well first he got that deal because
[250]
he's an accountant and you didn't
[252]
because you're a lawyer but i digress so
[254]
how by the way he's not an accountant
[257]
not an accountant he's about he's not
[258]
he's not a cpa he's a bookkeeper
[260]
glorified bookkeeper but here's the most
[262]
important piece though michael how
[264]
worried should trump be about what
[266]
giuliani has to say in his grand jury
[268]
appearance
[269]
it's not just giuliani it's everybody
[272]
understand that the way donald trump
[274]
behaves and i've used this statement
[276]
many times before he acts like a mob
[279]
boss so there's an entire we'll call it
[281]
family underneath him you have your
[283]
capos you have your soldiers every
[285]
single person involved
[288]
will be able to provide additional
[290]
testimony that is going to sink not just
[293]
the trump organization but it's
[295]
eponymous leader the fuhrer himself
[298]
there's no way for him to escape
[300]
liability there's no way for him to now
[302]
escape you know being held accountable
[305]
for finances because nothing went on at
[308]
the trump organization that did not
[311]
involve directly donald trump's approval
[319]
