this week we saw the first sentencing in the russia probe. around attorney who worked with former trump official s was sentenced to 30 days in prison and fined $20,000 for lying. we learned a swarnts was issued that was tied to paul manafort as recently as march 9th. that makes the 7th search warrant against him. we saw reports about the president s status as a subject in that investigation. trump and his legal team have been discussing the possibility of a sit down with robert mueller. this week we had a chorus of opposition of such a move from key trump allies on tv. as a former u.s. attorney and someone sitting on the other side of the that attorney, i ve said this all along. he should never walk into that room with robert mueller. in the end, one of the things that makes the president who he is is he s a salesman. salesman tend to be hyperbolic.
