NOW ONE, ONE OF THE REASONS THAT TRUMP LIKES THE SHUTDOWN IS THAT
THERE IS A CHANCE IT MIGHT MAKE YOU FORGET FOR A LITTLE WHILE
THAT THERE IS THIS THING CALLED THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION.
ANYBODY REMEMBER THAT THREAT TO THE VERY NATURE OF OUR
DEMOCRACY?
WELL, LAST WEAK WE LEARNED SOMETHING DAMNING ABOUT FORMER
TRUMP CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN AND ME IN ABOUT A YEAR PAUL MANAFORT.
TURNED OUT DURING THE CAMPAIGN MANAFORT GAVE CAMPAIGN POLLING
DATA TO A RUSSIAN AGENT.
THIS CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKE KOL IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK AND QUACKS
LIKE A DUCK PAUL MANAFORT IS SO DUCKED.
SO THE LINK TO RUSSIA, SO THE LINKS TO RUSSIA ARE WRAPPING
AROUND TRUMP LIKE A BOA CONSTRICTOR AROUND A FLORIDA
GRANDPA.
BUT THERE ARE-- HE WAS SLEEPING IN THE SUN.
BUT THERE ARE STILL SOME PEOPLE ON TRUMP'S SIDE LIKE ATTORNEY
AND MAN, ATTORNEY AND MAN DOING THE TEN YEAR CHALLENGE BETWEEN
HIS TOP AND BUTT OM TEETH RUDY GIULIANI.
LAST NIGHT, LAST NIGHT RUDY WENT ON THE CHRIS CUOMO SHOW-MO WHERE
HE WAS ASKED ABOUT PAUL MANAFORT'S SHADY DEALINGS.
>> NOW YOU HAVE PAUL MANAFORT GIVING POLL DATA THAT WINDS UP
LEADING TO THIS COINCIDENCE.
>> YOU JUST MISSTATED MY POSITION.
I NEVER SAID THERE WAS NO COLLUSION BETWEEN THE CAMPAIGN.
(LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE)
>> HE BASICALLY WENT ON TV AND ADMITTED THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
COLLUDED WITH RUSSIA.
THAT IS SO SHOCKING, YOU SAW IT, HE SHOCKED HIMSELF.
WHEN HE HEARD HIM SAY IT.
SERIOUSLY T WAS A HUGE REACTION, LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.
>> I NEVER SAID THERE WAS NO COLLUSION BETWEEN THE CAMPAIGN?
>> I DON'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL!
>> THEN-- THEN GIULIANI DREW A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN AND THE HEAD OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
>> THERE IS NOT A SINGLE BIT OF EVIDENCE OF PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES COMMITTED ANY CRIME YOU CAN SUBMIT HERE
CONSPIRING WITH THE RUSSIANS TO HACK THE DN, C.
>> YES, THERE IS ZERO EVIDENCE THAT DONALD TRUMP REACHED OUT TO
RUSSIA.
>> RUSSIA, IF YOU ARE LISTENING, I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO FIND THE
30,000 EMAILS THAT ARE MISSING.
>> OBVIOUSLY HE WAS JOKING, IF RUSSIA WAS LISTENING.
NOW THAT LOOKS BAD.
BUT ONLY IF WE'RE GOING TO START COUNTING EVIDENCE AS PROOF.
RUDY'S COMMENTS, RUDY'S COMMENTS ARE JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE
TRUMP TEAM MOVING THE GOAL POSTS.
IN NOVEMBER OF 2016, TRUMP SPOKESPERSON HOPE HICKS SAID OF
COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA TKS NEVER HAPPENED.
THERE WAS NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE CAMPAIGN AND ANY
FOREIGN ENTITY DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
BUT IN FEBRUARY 2017, SARAH HUCKA DS SANDS ADDED TO THE BEST
OF OUR KNOWLEDGE, NO CONTACTS TOOK PLACE.
TO THE BEST OF THEIR KNOWLEDGE.
THEY COULD HAVE JUST TAKEN A LOT OF AMBIEN AND COMMITTED SLEEP
TREASON.
THEN IN MARCH DON, JR. WAS ALL, DID I MEET WITH PEOPLE THAT WERE
RUSSIAN?
I'M SURE, I'M SURE I DID.
BUT NONE OF THAT WERE SET UP.
>> YEAH, HE COLLUDED ACCIDENTALLY.
YOU HANG OUT IN TRUMP TOWER LONG ENOUGH ARE YOU GOING TO RIDE THE
ELEVATOR WITH A FELONY.
THEN HE ADMITTED TO MEETING WITH THE MEETING WAS A SETUP.
HE ADMITTED THE MEETING WAS A SETUP BUT CLAIMED IT WAS FOR
RUSSIAN ADOPTION AND SAID IT WAS OKAY BECAUSE THEY EXCHANGED NO
MEANINGFUL INFORMATION.
NOW THAT I BELIEVE.
I HAVE HEARD DON, JR. SPEAK.
THEN IN DECEMBER OF 2017 PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID.
>> THERE IS NO COLLUSION AND EVEN IF THERE WAS, IT IS NOT A
CRIME.
>> HE JUST MOVED THE GOAL POSTS TO A WHOLE DIFFERENT SPORT.
IT IS A HOLE IN TOUCHDOWN, YOU'RE OUT.
AND THERE'S BREAKING NEWS ABOUT FORMER TRUMP LAWYER AND MAN
WHOST WHO SMILE IS SHOW SADDER THAN HIS FROWN.
>> WOW, WOW.
>> (LAUGHTER)
>> MICHAEL COHEN.
COHEN HAS ALREADY BEEN SENTENCED FOR THREE YEARS IN PRISON FOR
BEING TRUMP'S PORN STAR BAGMAN BUT THIS MORNING WE LEARNED HE
ALSO TRIED TO RIG ALL NINE POLLS IN TRUMP'S FAVOR PRIOR TO THE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
IT ALMOST WORKED BUT TRUMP REFUSED TO CHANGE HIS NAME TO
BOATY McBOATFACE.
APPARENTLY TO RIG THE POLLS COHEN HIRED A CONSULTING FIRM.
AND WAS BILLED $50,000.
BUT INSTEAD OF GIVING THEM THE FULL 50K.
COHEN SHOWED UP WITH A BLUE WAL-MART BAG CONTAINING BETWEEN
12,000 AND $13,000 IN CASH AND A BOXING GLOVE THAT HAD BEEN WORN
BY A BRAZILIAN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS FIGHTER.
ONE BOXING GLOVE?
THAT'S THE PAYOFF EQUIVALENT OF RIFLING THRAW YOUR CAR FOR A
BIRTHDAY PRESENT.
OH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
I GOT YOU, I GOT YOU A ROAD MAP OF TENNESSEE AND A SOME STICKY
PENNIES.
COHEN ALSO ASKED THE CONSULTING FIRM TO CREATE A TWITTER ACCOUNT
CALLED@WOMEN FOR COHEN.
WHICH CLAIMED TO BE RUN BY WOMEN WHO LOVE AND SUPPORT MICHAEL
COHEN.
SO HE PAID FAKE WOMEN TO SAY NICE THINGS.
THAT'S REFRESHING.
USUALLY HE PAYS REAL WOMEN TO SAY NOTHING.
(LAUGHTER) AND, AND-- WE'LL GET THERE.
WE'LL GET YOU ALL.
AND THESE NONEXISTENT WOMEN LOVED MICHAEL COHEN WHO THEY
DESCRIBED AS A STRONG PITBULL SEX SYMBOL.
SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE HAS THE HOTS FOR MICHAEL COHEN.
AND IT'S MICHAEL COHEN.
THEN THERE'S THIS TWEET.
NEVER TOO LATE FOR HASHTAG MAN CRUSH MONDAY AND A HASHTAG
SELFIE.
OKAY, YOU CAN'T SAY IT'S NEVER TOO LATE, THEN PROVIDE
PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF THAT IT IS, IN FACT, FAR TOO LATE WE GOT A
GREAT SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT
