‘The president has been wrong there’s nothing to this’ Oct 27, 2017 COOPER: "David, how serious is this for the Trump Administration?"
GERGEN: "Well, it certainly looks like the dam is starting to break
now, Anderson, after a long while. I think we’re going to be in expense
suspense over the next couple of days until we know exactly what charges
are. If the charges relate to collusion or conspiracy against the
United States, as Carl just pointed out, or if they're about money
laundering, that’s going to send a shudder through the warehouse.
Because what that would suggest is: two things, first of all, the
president has been wrong there’s nothing to this. There’s actual
probable cause to believe in Mueller’s mind that in fact crimes were
committed. And in that zone — and there’s much better chance of flipping
somebody if that’s — if that’s the area where the evidence has taken
them.
"On the other hand, if you say it’s a Manafort and he’s
indicted for some illegal money trafficking he had personally some time
ago, that suggests they got very little on the question of collusion and
on money laundering. I think a lot depends on what charges are, as in
addition to. If it’s money laundering or if it's collusion I think
Jeffrey and Carl are right. There’s going to be a big effort to flip
whoever it is that’s indicted." -don't bother, it's CNN and Gergen-
