believe trump tv ran with a big exclusive that tony podesta was going to be on that list, which appears to not be true, you'll be shocked to learn. in the michael cohen case these 12 audio recordings turned over to the special master, what do we know about what those recordings are? >> so we know that trump's voice is on at least one of those recordings. and last night we were discussing why in the world trump's legal team would have allowed that one tape where they discussed karen mcdougal to be released we thought, well, maybe there are other tapes that they are going to try to bring back. again, their legal team had the right to decide whether or not they could use this. it's attorney-client privilege, and it really falls on the client, not the attorney, to decide whether or not they can be released. so it could be that they decide that the karen mcdougal tape where they were discussing her was more exculpatory than the other ones. and that they may be able to be a bit more worried about the other tapes and that was one they were okay with releasing. >> so this is a key point. they have control over waiving privilege. we don't know, i just want to

cohen. the names are significant. since the spring, mueller has referred matters to the southern district of new york involving longtime democratic lobbyist tonyta and his work for his former firm, the podesta group, and former minnesota republican representative vin weber and his work for mercury public affairs, the sources said. one source said the former obama white house counsel, greg craig, a former partner at a law firm, is also part of the inquiry. what does all this say to you? >> the first thing is it's not clear that any crime was committed here and whether these people will be prosecuted for anything. this is not good news for them, to be sure. and i think it's indicative of robert mueller trying to clean the decks a little bit. not wanting to keep his office in business indefinitely the way some independent counsels did. that anything that is not directly related to his core assignment, he is trying to give to the justice department and have those people investigate. but even though, as i said, it's not clear that any crime was committed here, if i were any of those people, i would be extremely unhappy to hear that. >> interesting.
