Rachel Maddow takes a look at the days top political news stories. To get manafort loans. We hear one thing after another listed and as i say, a very plain, kind of matter of fact fashion, although what did seem awkward was the fact there was a certain part of the courtroom that gates didnt seem to want to look at. The manafort part of the courtroom. Right. Let me ask you how they deal with explaining to a jury that someone is a cooperating witness, that theyve already pleaded guilty to committing some crimes. Does that change or could you detect any change in any of the Body Language from the jury . Did they seem to to listen less intently or did they lean in as this was someone who had traded something . How does that go over in a jury . So, i was watching the jury as they were describing, or, as i said, as the prosecutors were leading gates through a description of his deal with the government, and the jurors were watching that very intensely. I saw a number of them taking notes on
flynn s, it is not going to make as much of a difference, because he is at the lowest end of the federal end of sentencing guidelines zero the six months, and they would be fine with a noncustodial sentence and straight probationary sentence, and so that is something that substantial assistance is something that michael cohen did not earn and paul manafort, because that substantial assistance is a high bar and the government will only give it if a co-op ray or the is completely forth coming and completely helpful, and it is a real testament to how helpful he has been, but be warned that co-oprators still have to pay for their crimes. hallie jackson, what with has this president said in the possibility of a pardon? well, as it are relates to people who have been inside of the orbit, the president has been hesitant to rule pardons definitively for people, but
