clifford and her turning michael have a lot he was here last week were least a forensic sketch of a man she claims threatened her and her infant daughter several years ago alleging telling her to forget her claims are donald trump trauma center a tweet raising questions about the sketch criticizing news organizations for covering the story legally has he stepped into something he should stay very clear of let's talk with our friend trent copeland the criminal defense attorney and legal analyst did he make a mistake. i think trying to clear a mistake right i mean he had stayed away from this stormy daniels discussion for a while he had managed to i think. against type of voids talking about it but now he's completely opened up the floodgates again larry i mean look what michael of a not a what it is for donald trump to be a part of the narrative for donald trump to reopen this for several reasons one of which it keeps his client story in the news and the second of which is it's really

important from a legal perspective that donald trump engages and once donald trump engages from a legal perspective he suddenly is now fodder for litigation if donald trump tweets about strongly daniel stephanie clifford he tweets about her he says something about her and it's negative it's defamatory it can harm her character it can harm her her public persona he then can file what he has what will be a defamation claim and then suddenly can get discovery is this is much a public relations war is it is a legal battle. larry that's a great question this is for the president clearly it's a legal problem of extraordinary right and he's been investigated by a special counsel is now potentially the people closest to him his lawyer who holds his deepest darkest business secrets maybe his deepest darkest personal secrets is under investigation by the southern district of new york but also from a political standpoint look at what's happening we are now talking about the

president being a part of what could be a crime syndicate potentially we're talking about the the the president potentially being the subject of a criminal investigation and the president now having to to larry imagine this the president of the united states is now in a war with his own government his own justice department he intervened in that lawsuit earlier this week he intervened in that and that that issue and from the the judge can but would he intervene say a listen our government lawyers they're wrong they're trying to get at this. information don't let him have it this is the president the united states and this is his justice department his own lawyers does he have a case about invasion of client privilege he might it's potential if what the communications that he had with michael cohen if they were in furtherance of legal advice legal information and anything related to michael cohen

working as his lawyer yeah sure there's attorney client privilege those disclosures and those those communications will be protected but if it's not clear if it relates to him negotiating nondisclosure agreements and being a heavy and intimidating people and going out there and politically saying i need you to make this person do this and say this because it's politically good for me those things are in furtherance of the lawyers work as an attorney and those things on protect me i can't just simply say because i'm a lawyer that everything i say to you can't i'm talking to you and we're going to crime with your client absolutely that's called the crime fraud excessive state raided the office already don't they know of course they know they so why are they in court saying we are what do we have the right to know since they know we know what they know they know you that's a good question they know what they know but what they're trying to do is they're trying to prevent them from using what they know they know what the information is and they fully are aware of what that is and by the way the u.s.

attorneys on the record said to the court we haven't been able judge to fully go through this because we might have millions of documents and digital evidence to go through still going to take a some time they've got a hint of what it is in part because they had to know what they knew so that they could get a judge to go in and to give them a search warrant for covert surveillance or not really this isn't just a normal lawyer this is the lawyer for the president of the united states his personal lawyer so you know the justice department crossed every dime. every before they went before a neutral magistrate and said to them judge we have a very strong inclination and here's a little bit of evidence of it that demonstrates that there's probably a crime would have gotten that warrant unless it existed didn't sessions have to know about that while sessions might generally have known of the mechanics of what was happening but remember sessions is walled off from the muller investigation and

i think you raise a really good point larry that a lot of people aren't discussing this isn't part of the muller investing technically and it was altered not being part of the miller investigation he's not walled off from that but he would be a part of this investigation potentially but again remember he's the head of the justice department he's the attorney general of the united states this investigation was potentially handed off from muller to the southern district of new york and he may not have gotten a heads up until it was too late i've known donald trump forty thirty five forty years and he has total self-confidence and he goes tremendous. and so he would think i could sit back while i get no problem. why are they so worried about him sitting down more if he's got no problems civil war they were not a can as we anything embarrassing well you know look i think. there's a congressman who made the comment if you don't have anything to hide anything illegal stop acting like it but the truth is the only person in the world larry who

thinks that he's can sit down with miller and be ok and come out unscathed is donald trump his entire legal team doesn't think so look dog muller has assembled an all star cast of characters in that legal group these are the best of the best in the justice department and some of these are lawyers who are coming out of private practice from some of their white shoe white color law firms to come back and assist miller these are the cream of the cream so the fact that donald trump thinks that he can sit down he's going to do muller i think is foolhardy trent always great having you stay close thank you are we thank trent copeland we thank our earlier guests and we thank you for joining us on this edition of politicking remember you can join the conversation on my facebook page or tweet me at kings things and don't forget use the politicking hash tag and that's all for this edition of politicking.

the way the system should work is that every stock bond security underwritten by wall street or any bank in america one percent should be carved out and put into social security so that americans whether they have a job as minimum wage workers or whether they're c.e.o.'s all across the spectrum everyone gets to participate in this thing called the american economy because if you don't all the stocks are not part of the american economy.

u.s. president donald trump says he wants american troops to leave syria exactly washington's goals in syria. war. or sticking it to a random russia. that's more. videos purporting to show the. crew seen in the. founder of the infamous blackwater security group has reportedly been contacted by

. place u.s. troop withdrawal. facebook moves one point five. out of the. data protection. thanks for joining us with. your latest. video footage that was seen around the world at the start of the month claiming to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in syria is now being called into question a team from. the arabic visited. the town and we can discuss this further now without either of you down off joining us live here in the studio on this friday

morning so where did the crew go and what did it see well as you said they went to the very town of duma it's just outside damascus the capital of syria and it is this site of the alleged chemical attack and what we've seen so far from the town hasn't been much mostly it has been a white a video released by the white helmets activist group you're looking at it right now truly heartbreaking pictures i mean this scene of panic of children's confusion of the shock people being hosed down with water this is what we're seeing there now one of the our crew our colleagues from monte arabic they managed to find a boy roam this video and he gave this is the boy and he gave his account of events in that hospital have a listen given that he had ak outside and they told all of us to go into the

hospital i was immediately taken up stairs and they started pouring water on me do you remember where it happened. here with a hose or is it. here it is. i don't forge water on me you put me here and then took me up stairs to my mother where exactly are the second floor. asters over there. saturday so the doctor started filming us here they were pouring water and taking videos and then my father came and found me someone had told him we were here so he came and took me away. i didn't see and i went up stairs and saw my wife and children i was very surprised and asked what had happened when my son's eyes were red and i found out that it was cold and he could have got sick and he was undressed when i took my son the first told me that they

still needed him to pray still to come away from that. so the boys still clearly confused i mean to go through something like this through a scale of such scale and at his age is unthinkable and now he's being overwhelmed by journalists i mean our crew wasn't even the first to get to him and journalists from a russian t.v. station were there first and we have actually reached out to the white house the ones the group that released the initial video waiting for it and we're still waiting for their comment on this now that was other footage from the alleged scene of the attack wasn't that yes indeed there was another video released by another activist from allegedly from the very building that was hit by a chemical project tile and our crew managed to apparently get inside that very building i mean this is the video that you did video that you're looking at right now is the video posted by the activist and now hopefully we can show

a split screen yeah there it is to the left you can see our video and to the right is the initial footage i mean the same project i'll same everything and initially. the mainstream media would showing inciting this video as rock solid proof of for the chemical attack of have a listen to chemical weapon that killed dozens of civilians and a star is that the us had regime has previously used chemical attacks the assad regime has used this same yellow gas canisters the n.s.c. telling fox news they have a high degree of confidence that it was years. so there you have it and you've you've seen how the activists who were filming the video they were wearing a gas mask that was because apparently as they said the the canister was still fuming was still toxic and so therefore they had to use the gas mask to protect themselves but we've been talking to chemical experts and they told us that

normally in a normal situation a simple immediate gas mask is not nearly enough to protect oneself from toxic exposure have a listen if that were a nerve agent whether he's got his face covered or not it's going to go right through his skin and the only protection that he could have is if this whole body were in a chemical control suit if it were chlorine gas that would protect him from from some small leaking of the korean gas for a while and it doesn't make any any any sense i could see it going through a roof and never even breaking it's a silly way and even if it did great the dispersal of the chlorine might only kill the people in the room or what not even people outside the room had time to get out now and international chemical watchdog is carrying out an investigator.
