heather: what to cut fant and trump supporters have in common? neither are allowed in a new chicago bar. a list of bar rules, fans, number trump supporters. they have no room for negative people. it was meant to be funny and your preferences that won t get you kicked out of long as you keep them to yourself. students looking for change at the university of georgia. and environmental group urging the school to ban chick-fil-a from campus calling it a white supremacist called. the group claiming a poultry supplier, vulnerable immigrants to work demoralizing jobs. these complaints come months after calling on chick-fil-a to fund its failed food scholarships. a sweet note for a sheriff deputy, quote, i love you dad,
of jeopardy for manafort. he s lost basically what the continuing cooperation of the special prosecutor, he s lost whatever sentencing benefit was going to be. there are a lot of potential implications here. i think we would have to know more about the facts to be certain. that kevin downing, paul manafort s lawyer, could be looking, for instance, at action by the bar that issues his license. there could be some violation of bar rules. it s also possible that if there was a protective order, that mueller had entered into with manafort and his lawyer so that they could share information during cooperation, that that may have been violated when they went back to trump s lawyers to share information. also, if they thought that they were still acting under some form of joint defense agreement, they were just wrong. no joint defense agreement existed once manafort began to cooperate. and so any conversations that were had between downing, manafort s lawyer, and the president s lawyers, wo
you ve got to cut all of your ties to your former codefendants, and you can t share information about our investigation back with them, right? everyone understood that that couldn t happen. it s arguably obstruction. giuliani seems to be the only lawyer in america who couldn t sort that out for himself. and, joyce, to that point, when i was reading this, i thought, are there some possible malpractice implications for paul manafort s lawyer? because these actions that he took have created another kind of jeopardy for manafort. he s lost basically what the continuing cooperation of the special prosecutor, he s lost whatever sentencing benefit was going to be. there are a lot of potential implications here. i think we would have to know more about the facts to be certain. that kevin downing, paul manafort s lawyer, could be looking, for instance, at action by the bar that issues his license. there could be some violation of bar rules. it s also possible that if there was a protective
