but i'm using it as a comparison, if you look when corporate companies had problems, enron, worldcom, the private litigation dwarfed anything the sec -- talking billions versus millions. neil: you don't even have to get to that level. the potential liabilities related to civil acts -- >> could be huge. here is where it could multiply even more. say in a sec settlement, say he settles. sec puts its foot down we need admission of guilt. in old days, neither admit or deny wrongdoing. that helped you with private litigation. now the sec is forcing some companies and some individuals to admit they did wrongdoing whatever they did. if musk reaching a settlement, i'm saying if, we're knot there yet. we're just at the investigative stage but if he has to admit some level of wrongdoing that will ramp up the litigation even more and that is one of the things that the lawyers inside, inside the company are really worried about because if you look at this tweet, i don't know how you get your hands around it being accurate in any way. neil: i'm not a lawyer. we had someone on who was, what you de

some -- jurors don't respond well to that, as we remember from enron. >> what was that "m" carved outor, manafort, money laundering or must make more money? the odd thing that emerges in this testimony today that, you know, he loses around $600,000 in 2015. he loses over a million in 2016. yet he's continuing to spend like king midas. you get the sense, like many people that tried to hitch their way gones to tru wagons to trump's star that they saw him as a profit center, and they saw this as a short-term way to make money. it would seem that's what paul manafort was thinking. the other great thing about the case today is that the bookkeeper testifies, and as a journalist i love it when they testify. you get a fact pattern around money. the bookkeeper is based in southern california, even though most of manafort's business operations are in new york, virginia and florida. she's at a distance. she's not seeing the transactions that are being presented during the trial. why isn't she even though she presents -- prepares his taxes every year? and on and on. the bookkeeper's testimony tod

he comes back to columbus, ohio and back up to the enron dax -- adirondacks. this is one of their last engagements. he sees her from columbus. he says i left columbus in a rush after a rushing time there. with little sleep, no moments alone, no time to see friends, almost none to see kinfolk. i saw so little of you and i wished to see so much of you, but it was good to look into your wonderful face and hear your voice and be near you for a little while. they had a cherished farewell. asking for a letter, he wrote i wanted one as pleasing and cordial as our little exchange of readings at the door just as i left. he was enraptured. you are the wonder woman of the world he wrote. is the conclusion of this discussion. i think we have a little time for questions. she ends up blackmailing him when he runs for president and hethe end, i believe that paid some blackmail and ran for president. the great mystery is how did all of this not come out in the public record of time? a couple things and then i will -- a few more minutes for questions. think, for him i not to v

i think back to complicated financial cases like enron which seemed like a slam dunk and it wasn't.in, how hard will this continue to be for the president to distance himself from manafort? yesterday, we did hear president trump's name come up for the first time. is it just the beginning? >> well, it depends, right? this trial is moving at a fast pace which is pretty remarkably considering everything that's involved. while the president, you know, can argue rightfully that this specific case doesn't have anything with his campaign, of course, paul manafort was the campaign manager. rick gates was his deputy. rick gates stayed on after manafort left the campaign. again, i just think about what this prompts the president to do and how he responds that could entangle him in this even if it's separate. >> all right. we're glowing to take a quick turn because we've got some breaking news. republican congressman chris collins from the state of new york has been arrested. you hear what i said, arrested by the fbi on charges of securities fraud related to snyder trading. collins surrendered

bing the enron case, the arthur anderson case, i know about big environmental cases about oil companies stuff like that. i don't know that much about what it means for there to be a criminal charge against a business like the trump organization. if their that happens, if they do write charges against the business, does that mean the people who are the principals of that business, to have answer for the business's behavior? if things go prosecutors' way? and that kind of prosecution is brought? and the business entity gets in a lot of trouble? do the people associated with that business get in trouble? or does the business just go out of business? >> the corporate officers, the ones who have a fiduciary duty, can get in trouble. you don't see it very often because there's a trickle down effect. so generally, at least in my experience in the federal court in the southern district of new york, often you work out agreements where companies agree to pay significant, it can be in the billions of dollars of fines, to avoid prosecution. because prosecutors are wary of making people lose their j

. >> a stunning detrail in silicon valley biggest corporate fall since enron.trying to prevent blood testing with her company. elizabeth holmes fooled the world. she claimed she created a device use as pinprick of blood to run every test known to man. in "wall street journal" investigation john discovered the technology was mostly science fiction. she told doctors and patients the blood tests were accurate and reliable. according to the feds she knew they were not. she conned many high profile investors. henry kissinger sat on the build. joe biden visited fake lab which was filled with malfunctioning prototypes of the device. >> you can see firsthand what innovation is all about, just walking through this facility. >> we can begin to make health information more accessible at the time it matters most. >> holmes was indicted on wire fraud charges in june and joining knee how is john, the author of this book bad blood, secrets and lies in the silicon valley startup and he is part of the "wall street journal," which is how i was following these stories for years b

. >> you, as a former prosecutor think back to -- i was talking to stephanie, about the enron trial by was a detailed financial crime trial which by the way failed because the jury found that very complicated. they subsequently held a second trial which was a little more salacious. >> but they got lost in the patie paperwork. >> that's a great comparison. defe defense we heard yesterday is similar. everyone did it but me. somehow, all the underlings knew, and rick gates knew but manafort, the guy who started the business, was the boss and made the money, i didn't know but everyone else did. other comparison i think, you nailed it, there is a defense of let's just confuse everybody to death. let's just tell the jurors this is too complex, there's too many accounts. too many documents. jury, just throw your hands up and say you can't figure it out and go home. >> ali, you nailed it. great comparison. >> thank you. great to see you as always. >>> all right. moving on this morning. president -- you won't believe it. he went on a twitter tirade. jinx. >> calling russian collusion with the t

he generally bases short positions on a well-thought out -- enron's problematic. is problematic. trish: yeah, very smart guy. >> tesla is not living up to its numbers. trish: no, i agree with you on that. i think that he does take a very fundamental approach. >> right. trish: and he is a very intelligent, capable -- >> that said, elon musk is no dummy. what he is saying, exactly what your last guest -- trish: adam. >> adam. sorry, forgot your name. >> that's okay. i'm on the phone, charlie. >> i'm old dude. this is what michael dell took it private, apparently doing very well in private, why do i need this crap from short sellers in the market. >> i get it. >> this thing could go on for a while before this thing shows any promise or profit. trish: pressure of the public markets and shareholders and quarterly earnings, yeah, it is for the birds, right? >> not for the birds. makes us a system and makes us strong -- trish: however has to be the right environment because the market is not always as understanding as it should be. in other words the pressure for him to

, jill, whether you're talking about the mob or whether you're talking about corporate crimes like enron or things like that, generally speaking, once you have the key adviser, lawyer-type and the money person, you can sort of piece the whole story together? >> absolutely. and this is a reminder to me, i started out as an organized crime prosecutor at a time when the rack tier influence corrupt organization law just had passed. and i'm looking at a rico corporation right now. there are so many things that we could learn from weisselberg if he sticks to his immunity and goes forward. and barbara's right, it depends on whether he has specific transactions that he's immunized for or for just whatever he says. either way, he'd be smart to come forward with everything and to reveal what we all have wanted to know. and this might be the time finally for us to get the tax returns. that's what we need to see what the president knew and when he knew it and what he did. >> jill, good to talk to you. thank you so much. jill wine banks former assistant watergate prosecutor. barbara mcquade is a form
