RUSH TRANSCRIPT Kate that ░░░░░░░░ a great point It ░░░░░░░░ good to see you ░░░░░░░░ Thank you Joining me ░░░░░░░░ for more on this ░░░░░░░░ CNN legal analyst norm ░░░░░░░░ who served as counsel ░░░░░░░░ House Democrats in the ░░░░░░░░ Trump impeachment Thanks for ░░░░░░░░ here What do you ░░░░░░░░ The corcoran testimony will ░░░░░░░░ can mean could mean ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump Um kay ░░░░░░░░ think it means accelerating ░░░░░░░░ in the mara lago ░░░░░░░░ case yet another place ░░░░░░░░ a criminal investigation is ░░░░░░░░ to a stage that ░░░░░░░░ very dangerous for Donald ░░░░░░░░ The reason for that ░░░░░░░░ the key part of ░░░░░░░░ criminal case is proving ░░░░░░░░ defendant s intent And ░░░░░░░░ seems like from CNN ░░░░░░░░ reporting on what corcoran ░░░░░░░░ going to be talking ░░░░░░░░ Today the government s ░░░░░░░░ in on a series ░░░░░░░░ events from may to ░░░░░░░░ having to do with ░░░░░░░░ Trump s conversation with ░░░░░░░░ possibly misleading corcoran Possibly ░░░░░░░░ these classified documents Um ░░░░░░░░ in in response to ░░░░░░░░ government s subpoena during ░░░░░░░░ period all of which ░░░░░░░░ that Donald Trump was ░░░░░░░░ intentionally so it really ░░░░░░░░ the risk if corcoran ░░░░░░░░ as we expect look ░░░░░░░░ course we re not ░░░░░░░░ the room But what ░░░░░░░░ could he possibly face ░░░░░░░░ Now that the judge ░░░░░░░░ ruled that he you ░░░░░░░░ this goes beyond the ░░░░░░░░ almost sacred protections of ░░░░░░░░ client privilege Yeah it ░░░░░░░░ pretty extraordinary to have ░░░░░░░░ ruling You need to ░░░░░░░░ a preponderance of the ░░░░░░░░ that Donald Trump committed ░░░░░░░░ crime And I think ░░░░░░░░ is going to be ░░░░░░░░ questions like um what ░░░░░░░░ What did Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ to you Uh in ░░░░░░░░ with the government subpoena ░░░░░░░░ did he tell you ░░░░░░░░ had by way of ░░░░░░░░ and not were you ░░░░░░░░ that boxes were being ░░░░░░░░ in and out of ░░░░░░░░ room Did Trump tell ░░░░░░░░ that he had documents ░░░░░░░░ his desk Did he ░░░░░░░░ you Exactly what did ░░░░░░░░ say to you What ░░░░░░░░ possibly false did Donald ░░░░░░░░ provide that led you ░░░░░░░░ cristina Bob to tell ░░░░░░░░ government that a diligent ░░░░░░░░ had happened We know ░░░░░░░░ s not true and ░░░░░░░░ all the classified documents ░░░░░░░░ been found We know ░░░░░░░░ s not true so ░░░░░░░░ could really be nails ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump s coffin ░░░░░░░░ yet another case that ░░░░░░░░ s facing criminal peril ░░░░░░░░ those are the kinds ░░░░░░░░ questions Let me ask ░░░░░░░░ about one of the ░░░░░░░░ investigations that New York ░░░░░░░░ and now heads into ░░░░░░░░ week The district attorney ░░░░░░░░ office is really slamming ░░░░░░░░ Republicans for their request ░░░░░░░░ information relating to the ░░░░░░░░ case Alvin brags office ░░░░░░░░ their requests the House ░░░░░░░░ request for testimony and ░░░░░░░░ and unprecedented inquiry into ░░░░░░░░ pending local prosecu Fusion ░░░░░░░░ do you think is ░░░░░░░░ on here Well Kate ░░░░░░░░ had to live by ░░░░░░░░ these rules when we ░░░░░░░░ doing the impeachment and ░░░░░░░░ I ve been doing ░░░░░░░░ cases for more than ░░░░░░░░ decades Now Congress can ░░░░░░░░ go and ask a ░░░░░░░░ prosecutor for information about ░░░░░░░░ pending case It violates ░░░░░░░░ constitutional principles of federalism ░░░░░░░░ federal government can only ░░░░░░░░ so far in meddling ░░░░░░░░ state business it would ░░░░░░░░ bragged to violate state ░░░░░░░░ If he were to ░░░░░░░░ this over It s ░░░░░░░░ naked partisan interference of ░░░░░░░░ kind I have never ░░░░░░░░ in my over three ░░░░░░░░ of doing this work ░░░░░░░░ a pending criminal matter ░░░░░░░░ we were doing the ░░░░░░░░ Bill Barr wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ come talk to us ░░░░░░░░ the Judiciary Committee about ░░░░░░░░ Mueller investigation after it ░░░░░░░░ over Kate so this ░░░░░░░░ outrageous If they subpoena ░░░░░░░░ will lose if it ░░░░░░░░ the broad scope of ░░░░░░░░ letter Bragg was right ░░░░░░░░ slam them and slam ░░░░░░░░ hard I mean you ░░░░░░░░ in your decades long ░░░░░░░░ especially handing congressional cases ░░░░░░░░ ve never seen You ░░░░░░░░ never seen a reach ░░░░░░░░ far Never it What ░░░░░░░░ What the GOP majority ░░░░░░░░ doing here Is naked ░░░░░░░░ in the case It ░░░░░░░░ a book end with ░░░░░░░░ Trump s uh attempted ░░░░░░░░ in the case calling ░░░░░░░░ protests protests protests threatening ░░░░░░░░ mean he s making ░░░░░░░░ secret about it Kate ░░░░░░░░ his most recent post ░░░░░░░░ s warning about death ░░░░░░░░ destruction I think that ░░░░░░░░ very dangerous hint to ░░░░░░░░ giving to his followers ░░░░░░░░ this congressional thing is ░░░░░░░░ slightly more polite It ░░░░░░░░ partisan interference that is ░░░░░░░░ unprecedented The courts won ░░░░░░░░ tolerate it if a ░░░░░░░░ served here One thing ░░░░░░░░ could happen next week ░░░░░░░░ the grand jury testimony ░░░░░░░░ another witness unclear exactly ░░░░░░░░ that could be But ░░░░░░░░ could even be Michael ░░░░░░░░ being asked to come ░░░░░░░░ again Of course this ░░░░░░░░ we re continuing to ░░░░░░░░ here about the hush ░░░░░░░░ investigation inter into Donald ░░░░░░░░ s involvement What do ░░░░░░░░ make of Michael Cohen ░░░░░░░░ a central witness here ░░░░░░░░ he is a central ░░░░░░░░ Um Michael was one ░░░░░░░░ the first witnesses I ░░░░░░░░ to when we started ░░░░░░░░ impeachment We investigated the ░░░░░░░░ money allegations because that ░░░░░░░░ could have affected the ░░░░░░░░ of the 2016 election ░░░░░░░░ it s a very ░░░░░░░░ alleged or possible democracy ░░░░░░░░ Michael has never wavered ░░░░░░░░ his story the whole ░░░░░░░░ I ve talked to ░░░░░░░░ about the core elements ░░░░░░░░ what happened with Donald ░░░░░░░░ and these allegedly ah ░░░░░░░░ books and records entries ░░░░░░░░ were alleged campaign file ░░░░░░░░ violations that Michael pled ░░░░░░░░ so I think he ░░░░░░░░ a strong witness He ░░░░░░░░ a colorful individual It ░░░░░░░░ be a an exciting ░░░░░░░░ examination I don t ░░░░░░░░ get any pause from ░░░░░░░░ ups and downs of ░░░░░░░░ New York grand jury ░░░░░░░░ the past days Kate ░░░░░░░░ York has one of ░░░░░░░░ broadest legal ah structures ░░░░░░░░ defendants in the last ░░░░░░░░ of the grand jury ░░░░░░░░ put information before that ░░░░░░░░ It s not unusual ░░░░░░░░ have these stops and ░░░░░░░░ and delays at the ░░░░░░░░ of the case that ░░░░░░░░ that Alvin Bragg sent ░░░░░░░░ to Congress that was ░░░░░░░░ the writing of a ░░░░░░░░ who is blinking or ░░░░░░░░ or hesitating so I ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ full speed ahead And ░░░░░░░░ is just a not ░░░░░░░░ Uh last minute back ░░░░░░░░ forth in the grand ░░░░░░░░ We shall see nor ░░░░░░░░ and thank you Thanks ░░░░░░░░ So China is responding to
