he's the washington editor at large for the atlantic he's joining us from washington as well steve clemons thanks for joining us and that congressional hearing in fact still going on or playing it on our screens right now but what we're hearing is that cohen has also just said that he's aware of other possible illegal acts involving trump that he can't discuss because they were under investigation so is what we saw today just the tip of the iceberg for trying. absolutely this is it was trump's personal lawyer for ten years in and around the family in and around the operation of the trump organization the trump foundation and around a lot of you know trump's otherwise entrepreneurial activities like trump university and others which have been disbanded so he knows a lot and you know this just feels like a mafia trial where a guy you know deep inside who had the ledger books and you knew what was going on is confessing all or at least intimating that he's got a lot and because he is going to jail already it's interesting that while he could he could add to that you know he is coming off rath
