Preet Bharara: ‘Michael Cohen Is Barely a Lawyer’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BHARARA: "So I have great confidence in their ability to do things right. The decision to do the raids searches on Michael Cohen’s home, hotel and office were approved by an office in the department of justice, office of enforcement operations. In addition to Rod Rosenstein who is a Republican who oversees the Mueller investigation there are career professionals in Washington and New York along side a judge who has to approve all of it to see if the searches are okay. If you read the brief that former colleagues filed was also a very fine, well respected journalist. They are very meticulous in explaining the reasons why they felt they had to engage in the process. Michael Cohen is barely a lawyer."
