LEMIRE: “He compared it the to a violation of when President Obama was hit from the FEC, which at the time was a relatively minor thing. FEC campaign, violations if they’re done by accident or if it's a bookkeeping error, you get a fine. You get slapped on the wrist, you move on. This is of course being categorized as a very different thing because it was seen as an attempt to hide from the American people, to influence the election and that this, of course, could have a felony charge connected to it if, of course, a president can be charged. And you’re talking about the original point about how the President has reacted to this. I think it’s very telling in the last 24 hours, he’s reacted not at all. His Twitter feed has gone completely silent. He hasn’t weighed in on Cohen yet.”
DEUTSCH: "'He’s a liar,' that was it.”
LEMIRE: "In the White House yesterday, he was asked about it. He ignored the shouted questions. This is something he and his people didn’t want to touch.”
