Blumenthal: This ‘Certainly Has All of the Appearances’ of a Joint Defense Agreement Between Trump and Russia

EXCERPT:

BLUMENTHAL: "It certainly has all the appearances of what legally would be a joint defense agreement, whether it is explicit, whether it is simply the result of a kind of common understanding. Remember, Donald Trump lied to the American people. That’s the import of the Cohen guilty plea. He lied to the American people with the complicity of the Russians, much at Michael Flynn did. And Sally Yates was worried about Michael Flynn being blackmailed because the Russians were enabling that lie. They did the same with trump. They enabled his lie to the American people, that's the import of  Cohen guilty plea today. He lied to the American people with the complicity of Russians, much as Michael Flynn did. And of course, Sally Yates was worried about Michael Flynn being blackmailed because the Russians were enabling that lie. They did the same with Trump. They enabled his lie to the American people, and Trump was trying to finish this deal before the election because he wanted the money."
