"GIULIANI: Well, I have a pretty good idea because I have seen all the documents that they have. We have debriefed all their witnesses. And we have pressed them numerous times. BASH: You have debriefed all of their witnesses? GIULIANI: Well, I think so, I mean, the ones that were - the ones that were involved in the joint defense agreement, which constitutes all the critical ones. They have nothing, Dana. They wouldn't be pressing for this interview if they had anything. [my emphasis]"
"BASH: But let's just focus on one of the things that you said... GIULIANI: Go. BASH: ... that there is no evidence - you say that the special counsel hasn't produced evidence. But they haven't said that they have no evidence. They have - you say that there have been leaks. They have been remarkably tight-lipped, aside from what they have had to do with indictments and such. GIULIANI: No, they haven't. They leaked reports. They leaked reports. They leaked meetings. They're leaking on Manafort right now. They leaked Cohen before it happened."
A claim is made that the special counsel leaked reports and meetings, including leaks concerning Manafort and Cohen. A claim follows that opposing counsel has seen all investigative documents, debriefed witnesses, and repeatedly pressed prosecutors. The debriefed individuals are said to be members of a joint defense agreement that constitutes all critical witnesses. The joint defense agreement is presented as a map of everyone perceived to be involved in the alleged conspiracy. Shared lawyers and common counsel suggest likely members such as Erik Prince and Sam Clovis, implying additional associates may be identified via counsel ties.
