and to find out more for what this all means i'm joined now political analyst tyson baka from the aspen institute here but and welcome tyson first of all let's talk about michael cohen and his testimony or his plea to what extent does the implicate of the president and his guilty plea even though there's a mention done or trumped by he implicates him in all but name just like you said i mean we know that his relationship with the president has been a long time relationship is basically a surrogate son he's been a fixer for the president for more than a decade now as was reported he said that he would take a bullet to the president now under oath he has pled guilty to two counts of basically paid hush money at the explicit behest of a candidate it's obvious to that candidate is this was a trial or an indictment for michael cohen now. for donald trump but the implications are clear so if trump is implicated what does that mean for him can he be indicted too impeached so there is no precedent for indicting a president either criminally or civilly that didn't happen nixon that didn't happen

and for more on the story i'm joined by political analyst tyson baka from the aspen institute in berlin and welcome tyson in fact the deputy attorney general went on to say that michael cohen would have to pay a heavy price for all of the violations that he's made but to what extent does a full manoir of a donald trump a close associate implicate the president himself let's let's be clear this is the fixer of donald trump for more than a decade he's basically like a surrogate son this guy knows where all the bodies are buried and what he's done is pled guilty to two charges where he said he made illicit payments hush money on behalf of a candidate that would directly affect the election that is a criminal claim and the candidate which was not stated by name but is clearly donald trump this is a big deal but he doesn't mention him by name does that make a difference not really i mean we know it's kind of like smoking causing cancer all the indications point to him his only association with a federal candidate was with donald trump so it is so you feel that donald trump is clearly implica

the government i really think that is a picture of society there is a chapter in the book from the aspen institute that draws it out in detail to show that exactly how pope francis views capitalism different than those who write it and we agree it isn't a good path that jobs argentina from the top-ranked of the society so that's not what we want all. >> the pope talks about income inequality what is your view? >> income inequality should be different from poverty we all agree it is absolute going on a dollar a day it is a bad thing but they have a great track record to eliminate that absolute poverty take on voluntary poverty like monasteries and things like that but it is harder to pin down exactly the optimal amount for any direction when it gets too great tears that your sense of fabric those that control the government but on the other hand could have two little inequality so everybody is forced to be equal to take away the center to work hard and be productive and i'm not sure where the pope sees that happy medium and it's hard to figure out what you want that medium to be. >> teach

from or in the us and joined now in studio by political analyst tyson barker of the aspen institute here in berlin good morning tyson and morning does this mean that cohen still to play does that mean the president broke the law it would seem that way i mean you know when they were talking about these two where he pled guilty twice for illegal campaign contributions to a candidate the clear candidate was donald trump the payments were made in february twenty seven thousand from the trump organization it seems all directions all arrows point to trump himself ok does that mean that the president could be indicted well. the truth is that there's no precedent for and i've been over president in fact former special counsels including ken starr have delayed indictments or pursuing criminal prosecutions of presidents until they've left office so the precedent set is that they don't indict sitting presidents ok we have though seen legal troubles for the trump team for the president before him talking about general michael flynn impregnated of course in a potential wrongdoing allegations at least

one of the interesting things is that before he spoke at the aspen institute, dan coats, the director of national intelligence, spoke at the hudson institute. and who is right on the target list here? the hudson institute. so, it could be that the russians are listening and to try to send a message along the way. but the boldness of this even after the specificity of that remarkable indictment, which you may recall had intercepts of conversations between individual russian officers of the gru, deciding what they were going to do in 2016 is interesting. it's also interesting that microsoft has found a way right now, it looks like, to get into this sort of cat and mouse game with the gru. they went to a judge. they got a special master appointed so that when ever they see one of these fake sites that's meant to imitate a microsoft site, they can go to the special master, take control of it and then basically put it out of business or make it public. that's fine, but the problem is that the united states, as you suggested before, needs a far more comprehensive way to go at this. and it's
