Cone, in response to your letter dated January thirtieth, 27 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Now, specifically, this letter responds to the complaint 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: numbered m U R seventy three one three, which was 29 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: filed with the FEC the Federal Election Commission by Common 30 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: Cause and Paul S. Ryan Now in a private transaction 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, before the US presidential election, mister Kohne 32 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: used his own personal funds to facilitate a payment of 33 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to Miss Stephanie Clifford. 34 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a 35 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: party to the transaction with Miss Clifford, and neither reimbursed 36 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: mister Kohane for the payment directly or indirectly. And contrary 37 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: to the allegations in the complaint, which are entirely which 38 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: are entirely speculative, neither mister Kohane nor Essential Consultants LLC 39 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: made any in kind contributions to Donald J.

Mister Kohane has not 41 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: been a government employee during any of the relevant time period. 42 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: The payment in question does not constitute a campaign contribution 43 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: or expenditure, and therefore the FEC lacks jurisdiction over this matter. 44 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: The complainants have not and cannot present any evidence to 45 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: the contrary.

Ryan, counsel for 47 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: Michael Cone. It's pretty exculpatory now. That's by tonight. This 48 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: is all going to be out there. Some fascinating developments 49 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: today and I can't give you the reason why. I 50 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: don't know the full reason why, but it certainly is 51 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: very very strange and very odd on a lot of 52 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: different levels. And for some reason, the grand jury was 53 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: supposed to hear from their final witness today at two pm. 54 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: Only a short time ago a couple hours ago that 55 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: they canceled the grand jury hearing today. Those proceedings were 56 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: canceled amid quote major dissension in the DA's office, sources 57 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: now telling Fox News I'm reading from Foxnews dot com anyway, 58 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office has canceled the grand jury 59 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: meeting that was scheduled to take place Wednesday as part 60 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: of the investigation into former president and Trump, amid speculation 61 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: of a possible indictment. Two sources familiar telling Fox News 62 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: the grand jury was slated to meet Wednesday and was 63 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: expected to hear from at least one additional witness, but 64 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: Fox News has learned that Bragg's office canceled the proceedings. 65 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: The grand jury was notified Wednesday morning and was placed 66 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: on standby for Thursday. According to again the report and 67 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: a source to Fox News, we can't confirm or comment 68 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: on grand jury matters. According to Bragg's office, two sources 69 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: familiar told Fox News Digital Foxnews dot Com that means 70 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: on Wednesday that the grand jury was canceled. The mid 71 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: major dissension within the DA's office, one source claiming that 72 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: the DA is having trouble convincing the grand jury on 73 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: potential charges due to the weakness of this case. Now, 74 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: remember put aside the statute of limitations that was articulated 75 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: in a column by Jonathan Turley. Put all of that aside, 76 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: you know, put aside, and by the way, statutical limitations 77 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: actually matter, or the idea that they're taking what is 78 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: a misdemeanor. Now, remember there's an office that takes fifty 79 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: two percent of felony charges and reduces them to misdemeanors. 80 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: Put aside the fact that Bragg loses when he when 81 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: he does have a trial on felony charges, he's lost 82 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: forty nine percent of the time. I mean, that is 83 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: a spectacular feel for any grand jury, you know, never 84 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: mind all the cases I went through yesterday. You know, 85 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: where he's reducing sentences to next to nothing for murderers, 86 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: he's letting out people that you know, have forty past arrest, 87 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: but for you know, major violent incidences. You know, put 88 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: aside the fact that he ran on a platform to 89 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: go after one man, one family, one company, and that 90 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: was Donald J. Trump. Put aside all of that. Who 91 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: could be surprised? Year Now, I'm gonna play in a second. 92 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: Bob Costello, who was on our show last night, what 93 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: and Alan Dershowitz was on later. Alan Dershowitz says, that's it. 94 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: This is game over, because you have in the case 95 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: of Michael Kohne. We went over this yesterday. Michael Khone 96 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: does not particularly have the best track record in life 97 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: at all, in any way, any shape, any manner, any form. 98 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: And Michael Khone, we now know is convicted. I'll even 99 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: use the Southern District of New York when they announced 100 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: he made a plea deal, but he pled guilty to 101 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: charges of tax evasion, making false statements. Okay, that is 102 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: supposed to be their star witness. He as an admitted 103 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: convicted liar. That's all there is to it. How is 104 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: his credibility gonna transcend that of Bob Costello, who happens 105 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: to have an incredible um track record. Where now finding 106 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: out that other people, I don't want to disclose sources 107 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: of mine, but I do know the names of people 108 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: that have gone in, and I just think I should 109 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: respect their privacy. According to sources that I have. Kelly Anne, 110 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: I did not know Kelly Anne went on in until 111 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: what yesterday, No, the day before yesterday. I found out 112 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: and she told her story. Her story was very compelling 113 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: last night. I'm gonna get to all that in a second. 114 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,679 Speaker 1: But now think about this. If you believe in law 115 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,239 Speaker 1: and if you believe in equal justice under the law, 116 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: and you believe in equal application of our laws, in 117 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: other words, all laws fundamentally, their foundational is the US Constitution. 118 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: If you believe in equal justice, you don't run like 119 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: the ag in New York has run ran out a 120 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: campaign to get Donald Trump, and she has pursued and 121 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: fulfilled her promise. And the same thing. We found a 122 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: cut of Alvin Bragg promising to investigate Donald Trump when 123 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: he was running for Manhattan DA. Now again, according to 124 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: all these sources, Soros funded candidate. And you know, this 125 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: is a lot of money that is being thrown around 126 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: by hardcore leftists that want nothing but chaos in society. 127 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: They're the ones that support no bail laws. They're the 128 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: ones that support defund, dismantle insanity. Anyway, this is Alvin Bragg, 129 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: the candidate. This is before the election. This is what 130 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: he said in a radio interview on a New York 131 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: radio station called Hot ninety seven. Listen, are wondering, whoever 132 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: has this job? Are they going to convict Donald Trump? Look, 133 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: that is the number one issue. I'm the candidate in 134 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: the race who has the experience with Donald Trump. I 135 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: was the chief deputy in the Attorney General's office. We 136 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: sue the Trump administration over a hundred times. I'd be 137 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: hard to argue the fact that that's that'd be the 138 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: most important, most high profile case. And I've seen him 139 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: up front and seeing the lawlessness that he can do, 140 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: and you believe it should happen. I believe we have 141 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: to hold him accountable. I believe that. Yes, So he's 142 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: running a lot, like the Attorney general to get one man, 143 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: one family, one company, one corporation. I mean, it's unreal. 144 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: Now here's where Remember Michael Cohen is their star witness. 145 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: So last night on Hannity Bob Costello, Now he was 146 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: in the grand jury room on Monday, and he was 147 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: very clear, like Kelly Amn was clear that Bragg obviously 148 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: did not want them talking about certain topics. But they 149 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: felt compelled to tell that the whole truth and not 150 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: just answer give short answers. And they looked at the 151 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: jury and told the jury the truth. When you go 152 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: under oath somebody's yes or no question, I'm like, did 153 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: you kill that person? Did you pull the trigger? Yes, 154 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: that's it, case closed. Yes, But he was about to 155 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: shoot me first, and he had a gun pointed at 156 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: my head and I had to defend myself. In other words, 157 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: you got to give context and texture to answers, and 158 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: a lot of times it's way more nuanced than did 159 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: you fire that weapon and shoot that person? Yes, okay, guilty, 160 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: your honor CA's clothes. That's not how it works. Now 161 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: in a grand jury, you can indict a ham sandwich 162 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: as they say, you know, show me the man, I'll 163 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: show you the crime. And the reason is the defense 164 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: gets no say in a grand jury room. So the 165 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: idea that Bob Costello he reached out to based on 166 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: Michael kohne appearances on television and what Michael kohn was saying, 167 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: because his conscience was like, that's not the tru He 168 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: said he did not believe that Michael Kohane was telling 169 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: the truth and he wanted the grand jury to hear 170 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: the whole truth. Here's part of what he said, Bob, 171 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: did he tell you specifically he did this on his 172 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: own without Donald Trump's knowledge. Well, here's what he did. 173 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: He said he did this on his own. He didn't 174 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: mention Donald Trump's name. He said there was a problem. 175 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: Stormy Daniel's lawyer or representative got in touch with him. 176 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: He worked out a negotiated deal, got an NDA, a 177 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: non disclosure agreement one hundred and thirty thousand. I asked him, 178 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: I said, is that Donald Trump's money? No? Did you 179 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: get that from any Trump organization? No? Is that your money? 180 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: Did you take it out of one of your accounts? No? 181 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: I said, where did you get the money from? He said, 182 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: I took out a heelock loan. I said, why would 183 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: you do that? He said, because I wanted everything to 184 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: be secret. I didn't want my own wife to know 185 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: about this. I didn't want Melania to know about this. 186 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: That's what he said. He said, if he had taken 187 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty thousand dollars out of one of 188 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: his accounts, his wife would have been pumping him for 189 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: information that he didn't want to give to anybody. And 190 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: I said, Michael, think about this. Don't answer it quickly. 191 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: You said that you or We're up on the roof 192 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: ready to jump, And I'm telling you that there is 193 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: a way out of this. If you have information, it 194 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: has to be true. What do you have on Donald Trump? 195 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: And that's when he started with the same litany that 196 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: he wrote used for the rest of the two hours. 197 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: I swear to God, Bob, I don't have anything on 198 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I said, do you have, I said, any 199 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: information on the Trump organization? The only thing I know, 200 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: said he is that some money was missing from the 201 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: Trump Inaugural ball or something like that. And I said, 202 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump involved in that? No? Does Donald Trump 203 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: know about that? He said no, he didn't know about it. 204 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: Then I don't even think he knows about it now. 205 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: But the point is, when somebody is really thinking of 206 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: committing suicide and you're offering them a legal way out 207 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: of this. If he had any information about Donald Trump, 208 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: that would have been the one time, even for a 209 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: serial liar like Michael Khane to fess up and say, 210 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: well I know this or that because I want to 211 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: save my own hide. But he didn't do that. And 212 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: the statement he gave us was very similar to that 213 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: statement that you just read. That is exculpatory that now 214 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: you have his testimony directly contradicting Michael Khon's testimony, and 215 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: the grand jury got to hear both. Now, if if 216 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: you're fair minded in any way, and then when you 217 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: if you bring this into a real courtroom where where 218 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: you have rules of evidence, and you can't have hearsay, 219 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: and every detail is told, and the defense gets to 220 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: put up a defense something they don't get to do 221 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: in a grand jury. It becomes a whole different ball game. 222 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: This this is not a good day for the DA 223 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: in New York. I would I would advise you. I 224 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: was at one point this is definitely gonna happen after 225 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: the weekend. I was asked, I'm down to seventy and 226 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: going down fast. I would say the odds are sinking 227 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: by the minute. I mean, this is devastating. I'm gonna 228 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: wait to after the news at the bottom of the 229 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: hour because I don't want to interrupt this. But you 230 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: got Michael Khon's former legal advisor saying kone has zero 231 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: solid evidence. You got this letter from the to the 232 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: FEC from Michael Khon's attorney. That is about as exculpatory 233 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: as I think you can ever have my You know, 234 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm not a professional lawyer, but I read it. I'm 235 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: like Wow. Contrary to allegations in this complaint, which are 236 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: entirely speculative, meant neither mister Kohane nor Essential Consultants LLC 237 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: made any in kind contributions to Donald J. Trump for 238 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: president or any presidential campaign committee. Mister Kohn has not 239 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: been a government employee during any of the relevant time period. 240 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: The payment in question does not constitute a campaign contribution 241 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: or expenditure. Therefore, the FEC lacks jurisdiction and that in 242 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: fact it was Michael Khon and on a private transaction 243 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: he made, and Michael Khone used his own personal funds 244 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: to facilitate a payment of one hundred and thirty thousand 245 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: dollars to Miss Stephanie Clifford. Neither the Trump Organization nor 246 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign was a part of the transaction with 247 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: Miss Clifford, and neither reimbursed mister Cohene for the payment 248 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: directly or indirectly. Okay, tell me, tell me what the 249 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: case is then, you know. And the sad thing is 250 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: they so hate this man, is that they're not gonna stop. 251 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: You know, you've got let's see Fulton County, Georgia. The 252 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: worst three places for any conservative to be in court 253 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: would be New York City, Washington, DC, or Fulton County, Georgia. 254 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: Those are the three worst, in my opinion, very pro 255 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: Democrat jobs. Joe Biden can't spell it, and he can't 256 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: keep them for the American people.

So thank god we got this 332 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: interview when we did, because as Alan Dershowitz suggested, and 333 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: I agree with Professor Dershowitz. By the way, find out 334 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: the name of his new book. This new book I 335 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 1: want to read because he talks about all four issues 336 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: that they're going after Trump onm One is the New 337 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: York Case, the Stormy Case, the other is, you know, 338 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: the phone call in Atlanta. Then you got the special counsel. 339 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: I guess investigating a number of things, not the least 340 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: of which is the classified documents issue and the January 341 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: sixth issue. I mean, it's clear that our justice system 342 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: has been weaponized. This is a scary time for this country. 343 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: I don't want any Republican, any Republican district attorney, any 344 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: Republican DA going after somebody just because of what they're 345 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: po It takes happen to be if they broke the law, 346 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: that's one thing, But this is so personal. I mean, 347 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, look at mullered by the numbers, twenty two months, 348 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: six hundred and seventy four days, twenty five plus million 349 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 1: dollars to costing you the American taxpayer. Forty FBI agents, 350 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: intelligence analysts, forensic account accountants, other professional staff, nineteen attorneys, 351 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: twenty eight hundred subpoenas, five hundred search warrants, two hundred 352 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: and thirty orders of communication records, five hundred witnesses, thirteen 353 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: request to foreign governments for evidence. And meanwhile, we now 354 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: know that the FBI in early October and twenty sixteen 355 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: went to meet Christopher Steele. Not only did they go 356 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: to meet him, they offered him a million dollars if 357 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 1: he could corroborate the dossier. He never collected his million 358 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: because he couldn't corroborate it. In January twenty seventeen, they 359 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: still had two more FISA applications. The bulk of information 360 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: was that dirty Boughton paid for Hillary Clinton dossier, which 361 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: even Bruce Or warned them that it was a political document. 362 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: And you know, but no prosecutor would prosecute. I mean, 363 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: it's amazing the FB they used unverifiable information at the 364 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: top of a FISA warrant says verified. You know, no 365 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: prosecutor would prosecute. Let me see, deleting thirty three thousand 366 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: emails with something nobody had ever heard of called bleach 367 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: pit and beating up blackberries and iPhones with hammers and 368 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: removing simcarns. You've got to be kidding me? Is that 369 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: not a classic case of obstruction top secret classified information? 370 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: By the way, have we heard a peep out of 371 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: the Special Council investigating Joe Biden on classified documents? You know, 372 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: where are we? Where are the Democrats? How much money 373 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 1: he did the Biden family do in business with China? 374 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: You know how much money did they do in business 375 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: with Russia? How you know Joe Biden is bragging on 376 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: tape that he was going to withhold a billion taxpayer 377 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: dollars unless they fire a Ukrainian prosecutor who we now 378 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: know was investigating his son. Zero experience Hunter? How do 379 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: we know he has zero experience because he went on 380 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: Good Morning America and he said he had no experience 381 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: in Ukraine oil, gas, coal energy, But yet they're paying 382 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: him a fortune. You know, why are Russian oligarchs investing 383 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: You know, Hunter Biden? Everybody knew that he was a 384 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: crack addict at that point in his life. Everybody knew 385 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: his propensity for hookers at that point in his life. 386 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: I was a total complete mess. Why would China be 387 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: doing a billion five deal with the Bank of China? Like, 388 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: how much of that was profit? How many deals did 389 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: they do? When are we going to get the answers 390 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: to these questions? Did they really get a five million 391 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: dollar loan from China with no interest and forgivable? Anybody 392 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: out there listening to me, you want five million dollars, 393 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: I'll give it to you interest free, and it's forgivable. 394 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: What does forgivable mean? You don't have to pay it back? 395 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: That's what forgivable sounds like to me. Or you know 396 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: any of the other cases, you know, sports cars and 397 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: foreign nationals spending sprees. When are we going to get 398 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: to the bottom of all of this? No, this is 399 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: the dual system of justice. This is a dual system 400 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: of justice. Anyway, Dershwitz's new book is out. It's called 401 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: Get Trump, and it deals with all of these investigations 402 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: he said last night, and he debunks all of them 403 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: and says it's awful. He calls it the subtitle is 404 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: the threat to civil liberties, due process, and our constitutional 405 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: rule of law. This is not hyperbole. This is what 406 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: a dual justice system looks like. This is what criminalizing 407 00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: political differences looks like. This is what it means when 408 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: you have attorney general candidates and DA candidates campaign on 409 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: getting one man, one corporation, one family. Because that's what's 410 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: happening now. So the star witness for the Manhattan DA 411 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg is Michael Kone I went through just moments ago, 412 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: Michael Kane pled guilty to charges a tax evasion of evasion, 413 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: making false statements. Now, the grand jury is not hearing 414 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: about all of this, but I will tell you this, 415 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: in a court of law, we have rules of evidence. 416 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: Oh I could I promise you Joe Tacopine is gonna 417 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: bring it up and bring it up often anyway. Making 418 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: false statements, the plea was entered blah blah blah. Cone 419 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: concealed more than four million of personal income from the 420 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: I R rest. Made false statements. There's two false statements 421 00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: accounts to a federally ensured institution financial institution in connection 422 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: with a five hundred thousand dollars home equity loan. Blah 423 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: blah blah. That's from the Southern District of New York. 424 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: And he had a lot of jail time, but they 425 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: ended up I guess because of COVID they let him 426 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: out pretty early. I guess he kind of in that 427 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: sense lucked out. Now, listen to Robert Costello and what 428 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: he says and how it contradicts everything Michael Cohen saying. Like, listen, 429 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,239 Speaker 1: because what you were telling them directly contradicted what they 430 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: had heard from Michael Cohen. So I would imagine you 431 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: caught their attention. Oh yeah, I caught their attention. In 432 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: a number of ways. Because I went in there to 433 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: act as basically a neutral witness telling the truth, and 434 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: the DA's office knew the exculpatory information I was going 435 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: to give, but the questions I was being asked would 436 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: not have elicited that information. It became clear to me 437 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 1: that they weren't going to cover the information that I 438 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: was there to give. So I started volunteering in my 439 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: answers well beyond the questions. And I watched the jurors 440 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: sit there, and as you might imagine, there were twenty 441 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: one of them there that day, probably five or six 442 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: would not be nodding their head unconsciously up and down 443 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: when I would be making the points. Bob, did he 444 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: tell you specifically he did this on his own without 445 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's knowledge. Well, here's what he did. He said 446 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: he did this on his own. He didn't mention Donald 447 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: Trump's name. He said there was a problem. Stormy Daniel's 448 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: lawyer or representative got in touch with him, He worked 449 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: out a negotiated deal, got an NDA, a non disclosure 450 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: agreement one hundred and thirty thousand. I asked him, I said, 451 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 1: is that Donald Trump's money? No, did you get that 452 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 1: from any Trump organization. No, is that your money? Did 453 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: you take it out of one of your accounts? No? 454 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: I said, where did you get the money from? He said, 455 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: I took out a helock loan. I said, why would 456 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: you do that? He said, because I wanted everything to 457 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: be secret. I didn't want my own wife to know 458 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: about this. I didn't want Malania to know about this. 459 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: That's what he said. He said, if he had taken 460 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty thousand dollars out of one of 461 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: his accounts, his wife would have been pumping him for 462 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: information that he didn't want to give to anybody. And 463 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,959 Speaker 1: I said, Michael, think about this. Don't answer it quickly. 464 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: You said that you were up on the roof ready 465 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: to jump, and I'm telling you that there is a 466 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: way out of this. If you have information, it has 467 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: to be true. What do you have on Donald Trump? 468 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: And that's when he started with the same litany that 469 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: he wrote used for the rest of the two hours. 470 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: I swear to God, Bob, I don't have anything on 471 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I said, do you have, I said, any 472 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: information on the Trump organization? The only thing I know, 473 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: said he is that some money was missing from the 474 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: Trump inaugural ball or something like that, And I said, 475 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump involved in that? No, does Donald Trump 476 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: know about that? He said no, he didn't know about it. 477 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: Then I don't even think he knows about it now. 478 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: But the point is, when somebody is really thinking of 479 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: committing suicide and you're offering them a legal way out 480 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: of this, if he had any information about Donald Trump, 481 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: that would have been the one time, even for a 482 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: serial liar like Michael Khane to fess up and say, well, 483 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: I know this or that because I want to save 484 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: my own hide. But he didn't do that, and the 485 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: statement he gave us was very similar to that statement 486 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: that you just read. And I especially made one point. 487 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: I pointed out to them that during that first two 488 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: hour meeting, Michael Kohane, who as I said before, was 489 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: pacing back and forth, would suddenly stop in the middle 490 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: of whatever he was talking about and turn and point 491 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: his finger at us and say, I want you guys 492 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: to understand, I will do whatever the f I have 493 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: to do.

This should 539 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: not be happening in this country. But sadly, it is 540 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: happening in the country. And this is what we mean 541 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: when we talk about a dual justice system. This is 542 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: what we mean when we talk about uh equal application 543 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: of our laws. You know, I'm going to tell you something. 544 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be very blunt about it. We are 545 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: we have now weaponized justice based on political party in 546 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: the country. If you're if you're a liberal, you get 547 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: one system of justice. If you're a conservative, you get 548 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: a whole of the system. I've had this little tongue 549 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: in cheek, but it's true. If you're a conservative, you're 550 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: gonna get arrested for spitting on the sidewalk and Jaywaukee, 551 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: they'll indict you. Alan Dershwist, This Trump indictment would be 552 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: targeted injustice. Great line, you know the indictment. This is 553 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: Greg Jarrett, show me the man. I'll show you the crime. 554 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: That was Joseph Stalin's ruthless secret police. Well they you 555 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: have people campaigning to go after one man, one company, 556 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: one family. I mean there's something wrong with that. Never 557 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: mind that the Statute of limitations has expired in both 558 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: the New York state law and the federal law. I mean, 559 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: this is a bad cast on shaky legal and ethical 560 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: ground in every single way.
