paul, alex van der zwaan is really the first figure in this russia investigation expected to be sentenced. how does this play into the larger russian investigation? >> of course, he's a young lawyer, who got jammed up in this case because he lied to federal investigators. of course, mueller likes to send that message out repeatedly. you lie, to one of my investigators. and you may go to prison. but he's important as well, because he's really central to this russian connection that seems to run out of the ukraine. and, remember, manafort's political consulting business was focused on a russian supported ukrainian government, but had ties to this individual who was actually a russian intelligence officer. and, in fact, manafort got himself into trouble even more recently, almost at his bail revoked, because he was still talking about how to create a favorable view of himself, manafort, overseas.
