those powers when they have rivalries, beef with the new folks who come into office? well, some use their position to blast their foes in the new administration. with trump shattering norms, we ve seen some veterans of public service go after him as basically a liar who is, quote, worse than watergate and even guilty of, quote, treasonous conduct. when i use the term this is nothing short of treasonous, i d equate it to the betrayal of one s nation. aiding and abetting giving comfort to an enemy. watergate pales, really, in my view, compared to what we re confronting now. those were lies, plain and simple. i m about to talk to him about allegations that he was involved with prostitutes in moscow and the russians taped it. that s one way to do it. our reporting, though, tonight is after reviewing mueller s 60 different times he testified before congress, that s not mueller s way, which gives you
to you last, brian, you actually said that you feel like the president is very aware of what mohammad bin salman is guilty of, what kim jong un is guilty of and vladimir putin is guilty of, and if that s the case, yet he continues to be seemingly close friends with each and every one of these brutal dictators, do you think it works? do you think his approach is working? no and i think this is the really important thing about how we talk about trump s foreign policies. the victories are in terms of propaganda. they re seen as being legitimate world players, and legitimate world leaders and the actual substance is lacking. where is the actual improvement in u.s. russia relations. where is the actual deal in terms of relationships with china or north korea or saudi arabia. trump boasts about those things but the substance is lacking. you re saying if he actually had policy change ideas in mind and went about wiit with this se
sentence, his bail being revoked. she s going to punish him for the crimes he s guilty of. she s going to base that on relevant conduct, and there s a lot of other relevant conduct to consider, and i think you might even hear the ten years come out initially, but then she s going to mitigate that some, that s my speculation, and i think he s going to end up looking at additional time, maybe three or four more years than he s got. that s my guess. shan was closer than anybody when it came to predicting judge ellis s sentence before, so i would listen very carefully here, like the showcase show down for paul manafort. david gregory, shan wu, thank you. it s a 9:30 court appearance. stay with cnn because this will unfold throughout the morning. meanwhile, joe biden and beto o rourke are sending the strongest signals yet about 2020. what are they waiting for? we discuss next. biopharmaceutical researchers.
do what they want. i think that s in the manafort sentencing. there s another set of crimes he s guilty of, but a judge who has taken a lot harder view on his crimes throughout the trial. we ll see what happens there. if you want people to cooperate after they re caught or even after they plead guilty, michael cohen did so. he s gotten three years, and he s still going to jail after all the cooperating he s done, and he only stole a measly million or whatevered, manafort stole tens of millions, and he basically gets one more year? there s no sense between the two. in your view, can a sitting president be indicted?
go there. but they re saying the prosecutors, don, are making the point that manafort shouldn t get any credit for or any break because of his age. they say that he has acted for a decade like he was above the law and that they should essentially throw the book at him. they didn t really know how to define the sort of activities they re claiming he s guilty of. thank you, evan. i appreciate it. have a great weekend. joining me now is congressman eric swalwell, a member of the house intelligence and judiciary committees. good to see you on a friday evening. you, too. good evening, don. roger stone has insisted that he communicated with wikileaks only through intermediaries, but now prosecutors say they ve got evidence. does that prove this is collusion? it s certainly intending to work with enemies working against us, don. also, the communication i think that is most important to get to the bottom of is, did roger stone communicate this to his best friend donald trump? we have
