johnathan: i was bob michaels point. -- that was bob michael's point.he idea that the yield curve inversion doesn't matter because there are global distortions moving the treasury curve domestically in the u.s. that's the argument. editou also say that the market in the u.s. is equally as distorted? if i can't take prices from treasuries, why should i take it from what happens in credit? both of those are distorted markets. if we have 10 trillion markets in negative yielding assets, then the treasuries understand that. but treasuries must be too. george: i don't believe that. the markets are too large and sophisticated to be distorted by one single flow. -- what is happening is global investors need yields. they will do it anyway they can. it doesn't mean it's a distortion across the board. i think spreads are tighter and yields are lower. that doesn't change the entire fundamental story. johnathan: these don't think credit is going to leave equity going into the next downturn? george: yes. greg: yes. marilyn: yes. johnathan: what gives you the confiden

jonathan: and that is bob michael's point your he said the same thing. would like to discuss the same idea that this does not matter because global distortions are moving the treasury curve. i will take the granted that's the argument. can they also say the credit market in the united states is distorted? why should i take any comfort what is happening in credit? of those are distorted markets, aren't they? the three will distort. -- the credit will distort. are too large and sophisticated be distorted by one single flow. i do think however what is happening is investors globally need yield. that does not mean there's a distortion across the board. i think maybe spreads are little tighter. yields are a little lower. do you still think that credit will leave equity going into the next downturn? marilyn: yes. jonathan: do you believe that? george: yes. jonathan: why? right. greg here is if he does not make a mistake and we go into a downturn, you will see a lead with high-yield. jonathan: do you agree, marilyn? marilyn: yes. if you look at where investors

jonathan: bob michael's point at j.p. morgan.dea that the yield curve inversion doesn't matter because there are global distortions moving the treasury curve domestically, i will take that. what can you also say, the credit market in the u.s. is equally exhausted? if i cannot take signal from treasury, why should i take comfort from credit? both are those -- both are distorted markets. i don't believe that argument. theink they are too large, markets are too sophisticated to be distorted by one single flow. what is happening is investors globally need yield. they will get it anyway they can. that does not mean it is a distortion across board. spreads are tighter, yields are lower but that does not change the entire story. jonathan: do you think credit will lead next downturn? >> yes. >> yes. >> i agree. jonathan: what gives you the confidence? >> right now, greg had it right. short-term, people are grabbing yield. long-term, things get figured out. if the fed doesn't make a mistake, you will see a lead with high-yield. >> that is

bob: michael, did you want to add anything. michael three points. : i think it's in the context of what broadly we see china trying to achieve in northeast asia as well as what they're trying to avoid in that process. so clearly trying to achieve a weakening of the u.s. security trying to beearly more influential in on issues in the region, on issues specific to the region itself. and clearly trying to avoid instability on their borders and in particular right on the border in the form of north korea and it's noteworthy -- comments have been made, and terms of what they did not want to see happen in the process. being certainly a return to a major increase in the temperature the can get into a situation where things could unfold markedly and they would have a crisis on the border. second is an accelerated resolution of the issue, or by the importance of that issue, and that issue is important to them strategically, because it is important to the united states, so therefore, it gives them leverage with us. an issue in which the u

as bob michael pointed out. some of these firms are shifting their debt balance sheets off.ou see it with highs in the ge, but also with at&t. we are seeing some improvement. some of the fundamentals are improving. we don't see the improvement in the high-yield market. jonathan: what do you think? >> the fourth quarter was a blessing in disguise. it scared a lot of these companies straight. they have turned and they saw their future of not being able to issue an impossible downgrade. i disagree on the high-yield side. i think the high-yield looks pretty good. the bond market is a whole different story. high-yield bonds -- jonathan: why is high-yield looking good? >> they have not levered up like they have in the past. these are companies that have not taken there balance sheet to excess like in previous cycles. all that has been put onto the lever law market. that is where the excess is. the access is in triple b's. -- which may or may not get religion apps. rise we have seen and demands we have seen in the ig space and high-yield, also can extent that to emerging markets as

a case that it was consistent with everything that we learned about michael cohen. >> well, here is what i would say about that and bobmportant comparison which is that michael cohen to john dean. here is the difference. when john dean decided to go over to the prosecution team, he told the truth and he was incredibly well prepared by his lawyer. the senate watergate committee. this was, i have to say, failure in preparation by his lawyer and i don't care if his lawyer is pro bono or not. you would shed your client and you would say look, you're going out there to tell the truth about everything, the good and the bad, and to just take one example, to say he never defrauded a bank, completely inconsistent to the facts, he admitted to in the southern district of new york his attorney should ask for a resense and say you can't say that, here is what your plea papers say, and here is the crazy thing about it. cohen, the stuff they caught him not telling the truth about is all stuff that is not that port. so for god sake, admit you wanted a job. admit you defrauded a bank, you already plead guilty to those facts. but the s

that's a separate matter that grew out of the probe and was handed to new york because michael cohen initial satown with bob mueller's investigators, the president's former lawyer, and as they found things that they thought went outside of this vestigation, which has always been about three things, the attempted collusion or cony around the election, any crimes arising out of that, what people have heard about as obstruction and the additional authority thatt bob mueller go into paul manafort and look at his activities, which wasd. allo so anything in that probe continues in new york. the roger stone case continues in washington. what we have here in ts news tonight that america has been waiting for is what appears to in bob mueller's view, the resolution of his case, what he was looking at, election relatey conspi known as collusion, and the crimes arising out of it, the obstruction. if he found things that weren't chargeable but he thinks barr should know t about,y should be in the report. we don't know whether what he handed in is a few pages, 50 pages wer or a some reports have been, hundreds of pages.

let's talk now about this back channel that was set up between michael cohen and the president's legal team. cnn has obtained two e-mails from bobtello is a lawyer with ties to rudy giuliani. he sent to cohen saying he's, quote, loved and can sleep well tonight. you have people in high places, right, or friends in high places. how do you interpret this? >> i think it's very hard to know what to make of this, at least based on what i've read. i think this calls out for more investigation. i mean, it seems pretty ambiguous and maybe ambiguous on purpose so that you wouldn't be having this discussion about whether there was actually a pardon dangled or not. perhaps there was a pardon dangled but it was fairly indirectly through intermediaries talking to rudy giuliani. we don't have evidence yet that giuliani actually communicated with president trump. now, that may well be the case and there is some evidence that president trump has certainly not ruled out publicly a pardon for people like manafort and others, suggesting that he is in fact dangling a pardon, and this may be more evidence to show that is the case. but i think we nee

bob mueller investigated. whether it's paul manafort or michael cohen. whoever it may have been. they tried to get dr. jerome corsi to sign a plea deal he never did. now that the mueller report is over, he's free and clear. david: we have to emphasize what we are hearing came from some sources. we'll hear from the attorney general over the weekend and hopefully we'll see it from the beginning until the end. but the moral authority of those democrats who said with absolute certainty to the american public, to their constituents, something that apparently is not in any way in corresponded nation with the truth, i just wonder what has happened to their moral authority as they continue these investigations. they want the public to believe they have the moral authority to continue to investigate based on a charge that has been proved or appears to be proved false. >> they are morally bankrupt. hillary clinton lost the election is wait came down to. her team took $5 mill and hired a former british spy to create the fake dossier. james comey presented then president-elect donald trump in a one-on-one meeting

he was walking into but rod rosenstein can walk him through that and i think that michael is completely correct that bob mueller is not immune to the conversation that's been going on in washington, not immune to the fact that congress wanted to see the entirely report but they certainly want more information rather than less and i'm sure he took that into account when coming up with the summary of his conclusions. i don't think bill barr showed up at the justice department this morning and thought, i have to write these conclusions and put them out to congress today. >> it looks like mueller is the one who came up with these principle conclusions, his recommendation. we're talking about 22 months, 6 675 days and this has hung over the president and the administration all this time. it has netted some pretty significant results, 199 criminal counts, 37 people and companies charged, 29 of them russian. 7 people have pleaded guilty. 5 sentenced to prison. and among some of these people caught in this probe, trump associates. so can the president claim this as a political and legal victory even if we're ta

that was, remember, after michael cohen's office was raided by the feds, between michael cohen and an attorney named bobho is somebody who has close ties to rudy giuliani. and let me just read you a little bit from these communications. one is, i spoke with rudy. very, very positive, you are loved. and let me slip down to the last line. sleep well tonight. you have friends in high places. >> hmm. >> bob. >> then there's another e-mail sent apparently on the same day, but -- i just spoke to rudy giuliani and told him i was on your team. he asked me to tell you that he knows how tough this is on you and your family and he will make sure to tell the president. he said, thank you for opening this back a general of communication and asked me to keep in touch. so, you have these two e-mails, but the interpretation of what they actually mean depends on who you ask. >> and you have been asking around. i know you have reached out to costello, who is the author of these e-mails. what is he saying? >> right. well, his explanation of them is pretty simple. he says that michael cohen had some concern about his relat

and that was, remember, after michael cohen's office was raided and they're between michael cohen and a lawyer named bobo and they're largely about cohen's relationship with the white house which costello describes in glowing ways in this e-mail and one of them is, i spoke with rudy. very, very positive. you are loved and ends with sleep well tonight. you have friends in high places. now these are part of documents that have been seen by congressional committees, but the interpretation of what's being said here and what was meant really depends on who you ask. >> all right. so you talked. >> yep. >> with costello who wrote the e-mail. what did he tell you about it? >> well, okay. let me start with michael cohen sympathizers. michael cohen sympathizers say this is proof that a pardon was dangled in front of him. they say this is an attorney with close ties to rudy giuliani who, by the way, just joined the president's legal team days before. so they say just look at this. look at this evidence and he -- he was dangling this pardon in not so many words, because as we point out in our piece the word pardon

. >> and bob, talk to me about optics. you've got michael cohen with a prison date. you'll have paul manafort heading off to federal prison. and i don't think any of these guys are going to country clubs where they're smuggling in bottles of red wine and paulie's cutting the garlic with a razor blade. i think they're going to actual federal prisons. the optics of your campaign chairman, your personal lawyer and then some heading off to federal prison. >> the optics now politically troublesome. but if you look at that list of dozens of trump associates and advisers who could be heading to put their hand up on capitol hill in the coming weeks and months, you have a more vexing problem for emmett flood and pat cipollone at the white house. because as we saw with michael cohen, questions about insurance, the president's finances, the president's conduct, that's all on the horizon. when you talk to the people closest to the president, they say michael cohen, brian, paul manafort, in some respects old news. the real worry is what's coming next? what can't they predict? all

republicans have asked would this case have been brought against michael cohen if donald trump was not the president? >> there was a referral made from bobsconduct on the part of michael cohen and gave that information to someone -- look, the college admission scandal, it's interesting to look at that as a parallel. that was a case in which a u.s. attorney's office was investigating a financial executives for security's fraud and pinched the guy and the guy decided i have some other information to give you and gave them this college bribery scandal so it turned out that the first motivation for looking at someone ended up being something different. that happens all the time. it doesn't mean it's inappropriate. >> you say the world called out for people that care enough to be exacting even when no one is looking and diligent enough and embracing and owning the responsibility because people are counting on them. would you describe robert mueller that way? >> i would. we're in this time of people making assertions of fake news and truth is truth. but for purposes of the book and the country, sometimes it makes sense to take a step back and

bob mueller has restrictions on what he can look at. number two, is michaeluse the southern district of new york has both rick gates and michael cohen as tour guides through the trump financial world, the trump personal world and the trump inaugural world. those are all things that would concern me and makes the southern district investigation much more perilous and in my mind made it much more interesting from a legal perspective than anything going on with bob mueller. >> by the way, i know you have to fine it as amusing as i do when people act like the mueller report coming out being dropped will be the end of everything. that's the end of spring training. like baseball season starts when the southern district of new york and other prosecutors around america digest all the things that bob mueller has unearthed and then decide whether to prosecute or not. right? >> by the way, they are not waiting for bob mueller. they have been working for a long time already on their own on a whole bunch of different avenues of pursuit. so, listen, this is part of the pro

and they're between michael cohen and an attorney named bob costello, who has a long-standing close relationshipi. they focus mainly on cohen's relationship with the white house at that particular time, which costello described in these e-mails, in glowing terms. he said, it was very, very positive. you are loved. and it ends, this e-mail ends, sleep well tonight, you have friends in high places. so, the interpretation, however, of what's being said in this e-mail and the other e-mail depends on who you ask. >> and how is costello explaining? what is he saying these were all about? >> well, well, costello says that what this was is an effort to kind of keep the relationship between michael cohen and donald trump on track. he claims that michael cohen may have been worried about whether the president liked him or not and vice versa. and cohen sympathizers say that is not true, that what this is evidence of is dangling a pardon. and that that's what this was about and then when i spoke with costello, costello said, you know, that is utter nonsense. i was not dangling a pardon. i was just trying to

how important is michael cohen in the democrats' investigation? not the bob mueller investigation, but the democrats' investigation in terms of the threads he's laid out for them to follow. >> i think this aspect of cohen's testimony jumped out to all of us. it was the first time we had proof, i mean, he doesn't have, you know, the corroborating evidence we need right now. but proof is in the form of testimony putting roger stone and the president on the phone together. to your second question, how important is michael cohen in the congressional investigation? i would say he's the starting point here. he is the first of many potential building blocks here. i do not think that michael cohen's testimony in the long run will actually form too much of a basis of either potential charges down the road or a potential impeachment. he gives them additional people to bring in. he gives them a roadmap of documents they should be subpoenaing. he's the beginning but certainly not the end. >> to that point, the president said he's going to corroborate with the democrats,

can we keep going higher from here bob pisani outlined a little bit that goes into it. let's bring in our contributor michaelnd joe duran, founding partner of united capital. question on the table, mr. farr. can the market move up from here meaningfully >> yes, sir. i think it can and, you know, i'm always very cautious about the markets, tyler, but i think we saw confidence in the consumer really swoon in december and a lot of the weak data we've been looking at since december, even in january, is a result of those weak retail sales numbers. weak home purchasing, weak home starts and all of that all a result of, i think, a 20% drop in the s&p. a government shutdown, fed raising rates, all of that stuff made the consumer worry but the consumer hasn't been at any point really much weaker the consumer remains sound so i think we're beginning to see a change in sentiment. i think what we're hearing out of china is very good in that lighthizer's not rushing to a deal i've known bob for years we'll see something more substantial when we get a deal that will be good for the united states mortgage rates in a 13 mon

>> he's always known that he is incredibly vulnerable from the material that michael cohen has, and the material now that bob mueller and ultimately the sdny has. he knows that crimes were committed. and when that tape was made that you just showed, him talking in the cabinet room, he was still at the same time writing hush money checks -- >> that's right. >> -- as president of the united states to reimburse michael cohen, the good man. and so, you know, he was in the middle of a criminal conspiracy as president of the united states. he knew that. no wonder he blew up then, no wonder he blew up now. >> it's such a good. it's so instructive to sort of put ourself in this time capsule and that's right. when michael cohen's offices were raided, donald trump was still engaged in the hush money scheme for which michael cohen has pleaded guilty, in which donald trump was named individual number 1. it doesn't feel like hyperbole when people say it's sdny that represents this true legal peril. not to say mueller doesn't but operating under the belief that mueller will report his findings to congress and leave the po

michael, let me bring that to you, the significance of bob mueller working on the redactions with the attorney general. we know that mueller wasn't involved with that letter sent last sunday with the principles conclusions, as i saw you nodding, walter said there may be full page redactions, that gives the attorney general a lot of cover. >> i think it absolutely does. i think it's a smart move by bar tore bring in mueller to sort of bring up his credibility as he presents the report. remember we have these regulations what we did not want and congress didn't want the time was to have a repeat of the ken starr report. where we were basically looking at an adult erotic novel. you know, it was so lured and feel the graphic detail so these regulations and these limitations were put in place, including things about federal and criminal procedure 16, which simply says, grand jury information is secret and we don't let that stuff out. there can be limited reasons, can you imagine taking this report, given the entire unredacted report to the congress. that place leaks like a siv. we have bee
