MUELLER MAY BE IMMINENTLY REPORTING HAS TO COME BEFORE THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT KRCH McE
McCARTHY DOING EXACTLY WHAT
YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT, WHICH IS
REALLY EXCUSING THE HUSH MONEY
PAYMENTS.
PAYMENTS. >> IF IT’S A FINANCE CAMPAIGN,
THOSE ARE FINES.
THOSE AREN’T IMPEACHABLE IN THE
PROCESS.
PROCESS. >> BUT YOU SAY YOU’RE NOT
CONCERNED ABOUT THE CHECK.
IF THERE’S NO PROBLEMS WITH
THESE CHECKS AND REIMBURSEMENT,
WHY DID THE PRESIDENT LIE ABOUT
IT FOR SO LONG?
>> YOU COULD ASK THAT QUESTION
OF THE PRESIDENT.
THIS IS A PERSONAL ISSUE AND WHY
WOULD NOT MOST PEOPLE GO TO THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC ABOUT THIS?
TO ME THEY’RE TRYING TO FIND A
CASE FOR A PROBLEM THAT DOESN’T
EXIST.
EXIST. >> IT’S A CRIME.
BEYOND KEVIN McCARTHY OBVIOUSLY
HAVING A VERY SORT OF WIDE
MARGIN FOR HUMAN BEHAVIOR AND
WHAT’S OKAY, IT’S A CRIME, NICK.
I MEAN, IS THIS WHERE WE ARE?
WHAT’S YOUR REACTION TO THAT?
>> FIRST OF ALL, IT’S REALLY
IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT TO OUR
VIEWERS, MIKA, THERE ARE TWO
DIFFERENT WAYS CAN YOU BREAK A
CAM PAN FINANCE LAW.
YOU CAN BREAK IT ACCIDENTALLY
BASICALLY BY HAVING TOO MANY
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ONE PERSON
AND HAVE TO REFUND THAT.
THAT IS A CIVIL VIOLATION.
IT IS HANDLED WITH A FINE.
THERE’S A SECOND CATEGORY, WHICH
IS A FELON, A CRIME, AN AK OF
CRIME, WHICH IS TO KNOWINGLY
BREAK THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAW.
THAT’S WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
WITH COHEN AND THE HUSH MONEY
AND THE PRESIDENT.
WHEN YOU SPECIFICALLY GO OUT AND
BREAK THE LAW IN A CRIMINAL WAY,
THAT’S NOT FINES, IT’S HANDLED
IN A CRIMINAL LAW.
THIS CAN’T BE RUSHEDBRUSHED OFF
FINES, ZNTSACCIDENTS, IT’S NOT
REASONABLE.
REASONABLE. >> IT IS A FELONY.
I HAVE KNOWN PEOPLE AND I’M SURE
YOU DO, TOO, WHAT HAVE TRIED FAR
LESSER ACTS OF HIDING CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS.
CONTRIBUTIONS. AND KEVIN McCARTHY HAS TO HAVE
KNOWN PEOPLE IF HE’S BEEN IN
POLITICS THAT GOT IN TROUBLE AND
ACTUALLY GOT SENT TO JAIL FOR
DOING THINGS FAR LESS THAN WHAT
THIS PRESIDENT HAS DONE.
AND YET KEVIN McCARTHY, THE HEAD
OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE
HOUSE SAYS THIS IS NOTHING, I’M
NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE FACT THAT
IT APPEARS HE HAS COMMITTED A
FELONY THAT THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IS
INVESTIGATING HIM FOR COMMITTING
A FELONY AND WE NOW HAVE A CHECK
THAT PROVES HE IS PART OF A
CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT A FELONY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
REPUBLICAN PARTY. >> WHAT I LOVED IN THAT MOMENT
IS WHEN GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS
SHOT BACK ABOUT HIM, BUT THE
PRESIDENT LIED ABOUT IT AND IF
THIS WAS NO BIG DEAL, WHY DID
THE PRESIDENT LIE ABOUT IT?
THE LOOK ON HIS FACE SAID IT
ALL.
ALL. WELL, YOU CAN ASK THE PRESIDENT
ABOUT THAT.
ABOUT THAT. NO, WOOR RKS, WE’RE ASKING YOU B
JUST SAID IT’S OKAY.
AND KEVIN McCARTHY KNOWS AND
EVERYBODY KNOWS THESE ARE
SERIOUS.
SERIOUS. EVEN THE ONES THAT ARE
ACCIDENTAL ARE SERIOUS.
WHEN YOU HAVE A DELIBERATE
EFFORT TO UNTDDERMINE THE
INTEGRITY OF THE ELECTORAL
SYSTEM BY SKIRTING THE LAW,
DELIBERATELY, THE CONSEQUENCES
ARE HUGE.
ARE HUGE. WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS TRUMP
REPUBLICAN PARTY IS YOU TAKE THE
STRONG LINES THAT HAVE BEEN PUT
IN PLACE, THE RULE OF LAW, IF
YOU WILL, WHICH APPLIES TO ALL
THINGS, WE TAKE IT AND WE
STRETCH IT TO GIVE DONALD TRUMP
AS WIDE A BERTH OF EXCUSE AND
EXPLAIN IF POSSIBLE.
THE TEST WILL COME WHAT HAPPENS
IN THE FUTURE, WHEN THE NEXT
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT DECIDES TO
GO TO THE BARRIERS THAT THE
PRESIDENT HAS GONE AND SAY, WAIT
A MINUTE, THIS WAS NOT A
CAMPAIGN VIOLATION, THIS IS NOT
A PROBLEM, WHY ARE YOU MAKING
SUCH A BIG DEAL?
THEN WHAT WILL-THE-SAY BECAUSE
THEY’VE STRETCHED THAT BARE YES
SO FAR THAT NOW IT’S DISTORTED.
>> IT’S A FELONY.
>>IA, IT’S A FELONY.
>> MAYBE FOR THESE REPUBLICANS
WHO CONTINUE TO DO THIS, IF
THERE’S ONE PART OF MICHAEL
COHEN’S TESTIMONY THAT YOU MIGHT
WANT TO CONSIDER BELIEVING FROM
LAST WEEK IT, WOULD BE IF YOU
FOLLOW DONALD TRUMP BLINDLY AS
HE HAS, YOU’LLnd END UP WHERE HE
GOING AND HE MEANT THAT FROM THE
BOTTOM OF HIS HEART.
THERE’S A LONG LIST OF PEOPLE
ALREADY IN THIS SITUATION,
INCLUDING HIM.
INCLUDING HIM. >> THIS ENDS BADLY.
>> THIS ENDS BADLY.
THESE ARE WORD WE USED BEFORE.
