MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch said President Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen told him several months ago that Trump knew “everything” going on during his 2016 campaign, including about his son’s meeting with Russians inside Trump Tower.

A panel on Friday’s “Morning Joe” was discussing a new report that Cohen says Trump had prior knowledge of the June 2016 meeting with Donald Trump Jr., campaign officials and a Russian lawyer whom they'd been told could offer dirt on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

"In my past conversation with Michael, what he’s made very clear to me is ... nothing went on in this business without Don knowing about it, and he led me to believe that he could bring Trump back to Russia,” Deutsch said.

“What came out yesterday to me was not a surprise, based on conversations Michael and I had had,” he added. “I don’t want to use his exact words, but that everything that was going on, Trump knew about.”

It's mid-afternoon on a Friday.... is it... could it be...

1. Bet Mueller already knows a lot of this.

3. Motives for Deutsch

Bad
Clients might not like private conversations being aired in public

Good
He gives a damn about Trump-like clients and their prospective clientele.

4. AWWWWW YEAH!

This is the good stuff. Cohen's story is consistent.

And Deutsch said someone else was in the room!

5. If Cohen is giving this for free

what's he saving for his plea deal?

[triron]

7. Tribe says it doesn't matter. Prosecutors still have to get him under oath.

[onenote]

6. Why doesn't he want to use Cohen's exact words?

[Moral Compass]

8. Well, duh.

Of course, Trump knew everything.

That much has been obvious from the beginning. Can it be proved that he knew everything? That’s the question.

If Cohen will testify that this contention is true that will be a very big deal.

9. I would be shocked if Trump didnt know everything.

The only issue is proving it beyond a reasonable doubt.

11. I'm betting he micro-managed

Everything

12. That's what we've always heard i.e. he has his organisation like a bicycle wheel where he is the cog

in the middle.

Interesting that Trump's "people" are now saying that even if Trump did know, there's no way Cohen can prove it. I wonder how they are so confident ? It's probably bravado.

[malaise]

17. Precisely

[scarytomcat]

13. didn't rump speak about getting the goods on Hillary the day before the meeting and would have an an

announcement soon but never came out with anything
maybe because it is a crime to receive stolen stuff
jr should be in trouble for not telling FBI about the offer that was made to the campaign
the cover up proves prior knowledge and intent, I'm sure dump campaign was all interested in Russian adoptions

[triron]

14. yep

16. Was there not a phone call DURING the meeting?
