VINCENT OSHANA (PANELIST): Listen, unless something really major happens, this is gonna go down for Trump's second term as the biggest scandal. This entire situation, I get what JD Vance has to do, Pat, and say, you know — The talking point is, “Blame the Dems, blame the Dems.” But the Dems weren't the one promising that all this stuff was going to get released. OK? He didn't have people like Bongino and Kash Patel and everybody promising out the wazoo that this was going to get released, and now the complete BS and lies. And just a FYI, Ghislaine Maxwell, who's convicted, convicted of child sex trafficking, OK? On top of conspiring to recruit and groom underage girls and all that stuff. OK? She sat down with, for nine hours, with Todd Blanche. OK? Do you guys know who Todd Blanche is?
ADAM SOSNICK (PANELIST): No, tell us.
OSHANA: He's a deputy attorney general now. Guess who he used to be? Donald Trump's personal lawyer. So OK, so you sent Donald Trump's old lawyer to go sit down with her. No cameras. No lie detector. No — just a closed-door conversation. And we're supposed to believe that she just said Donald Trump wasn't on there. OK? Like that, does that — Is anybody even going to take that as truth? It's just, all this keeps — I don't even know what to think anymore.
...
PATRICK BET-DAVID (HOST): So you're fully, you're fully at the place where you're speculating that Trump might be tied to it. You're not saying — Well, Michael Cohen is saying that this is another thing that they're using against him as the next witch hunt, that they're trying to go after him. You don't believe that. You believe there's some credibility to the story?
OSHANA: Pat, because of the way that Trump and the administration and everybody's acting right now, you're acting guilty. You know what I mean? You're acting guilty. All the footage of the thing that they released that has three minutes missing. It's like the biggest — they botched the whole thing up. OK? Trump should have just came out initially and said, “You know what? Bongino and Kash Patel, they're all full of crap.” That's what he should have said. Instead of saying, “No, it's the Democrats. Just like how they deal with Russia collusion.” It has no correlation to Russia collusion. OK?
