pardons and looking at trump two or three months after the election before we get into the 2020 cycle to really clear the decks. of course there could also be more indictments this month or a mueller report this month. cohen tapes. there s so many moving parts in this. i also think that the manafort trial is harder to discredit a jury verdict than it is what if they get lucky and get a hung jury? what does trump do if that happens? fires rosenstein. see, it s a witch hunt. hung juries can happen, right? it has to be unanimous, by the way, in the federal criminal trial. it has to be unanimous. there you go. we ve all seen the movies and they do those things. where s john cusack, is he involved in this? kimberly, bill, howard, stick around. up ahead, the latest on the paul manafort trial. what actually happened in there. and a surprise from the judge. (ford chime) it s the ford summer sales event and now is the best time to buy.
there just has to be a swath of voters that think it s creepy he likes vladamir putin. i wish it was a bigger swath. don t you think? we re hoping on the margin we re going to get a few people to repudiate him. i myself have been guilty of this. i said oh, finally the republicans on the hill look like they re going to i m done with them. i think voters might save us, though. i hope so. you don t need a lot. the democrats don t even have to overtake the house. they just need about 20 seats. if it s close, because the house has gotten anything done any way. they need to win the house. they don t have to win the house to i totally disagree. if republicans hold the house, he fires sessions, he fires rosenstein and mueller and says i m totally vindicated. he s unleashed. and the last six months will look like peanuts if the republicans hold congress. it is possible for trump to do that any way.
from the beginning and the clinton probe took a long time. the iran contra probe took a long time. there is no surprise that this one is taking a long time. what is surprising is that rod rosenstein is still supervising it. more and more information is coming out about his conflict of interest. we have now seen stories in the new york times about how he may have regretted writing letter and he felt he was used writing a letter. he is a central witness in this entire obstruction of justice if it involves the firing of comey. how can he still stay on the case? i wish they would focus much more on that because he is recused. he is disqualified. he ought to be replaced. that will, however, slow the process down even more probably. ed: pardon me there. what would be the eminent remedo you think first of all if the president fires rosenstein as has been speculated before is he going to get in more political hot water to look like is he hiding something.
president nixon. saying that burglary at the headquarters, that was not just a burglary, it was a dirty trick by the president and the president should have to answer for it. lawrence o brien today filed a suit for $1 million for the reelection of the president and five men arrested early saturday who were charged with breaking into the party s national headquarters at the watergate in washington. carl stern has the report. i wish to emphasize that the deadly seriousness of which we view of this entire matter. i am pleased to know that the fbi is investigating this case. i am shocked to learn that the white house through its official spokesperson deems unworthy of notice of blatant act of
came about and why you think it is important. it is important because americans need to defend the rule of law and protect the mueller investigation as best as we can. republicans unfortunately have been silent. the official republican organizations, the rnc, is attacking comey in a totally unseemly and inappropriate way. they can defend the president if they can t but going after the former fbi director? just childish, but also very i mean it is embarrassing. decent republicans need to speak up. they ve been quiet so far but silence can g acquiescence is as bad. we can say it doesn t really solve the problem if he fires
