flipping for 30, 40 years. i ve been watching flippers. everything is wonderful and they get ten years on jail and they flip on whoever the next highest one is. it almost out to be outlawed. welcome back to hardball. that was president trump praising paul manafort on his conviction of financial charges last month. now mfrvrt manafort had flipped. it could pose new legal jeopardy for the president and his campaign team. he denied any wrong doing. said the case had nothing to do with him saying i got hit with an artificial witch hunt that should have never happened. joined by the hardball roundtable. i guess i m trying to gauge how
katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died and you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally over bearing, nobody s ever seen anything like this, 16 people versus in the thousands. you can be very proud of all of your people working together. that was president trump. today he called it an unsung success. ka treechb na was a political disaster. i m joined by hardball roundtable. republican strategists. the washington post.
let s bring in the hardball roundtable. beth, i want to start with you. he seemed like he was on a sort of parol this week, prove he s not as nutty as michael wolff portrayed him. if you re referring to the bipartisan meeting where he invited cameras in, he s trying to show he can function, run a good meeting, seek input and sound plausible as a president. i found the whole conversation a little bit off. because michael wolff s thesis is not the president is unstable. it s his staff does not believe he s up to the job. and that was bourn out in that meeting. he didn t know anything about what he was discussing on daca. he was willing to take diane feinstein s idea to get a deal it took republicans to step in
they have gotten themselves into a lot of trouble here. that may be at the root of the cause of why, flynn went to the lengths that he did in the interview with the fbi to dpee nigh stuff the fbi had wiretaps about. feel like it will be a black area for the administration. thank you, all, what a team. we will be covering michael flynn s guilty plea and russian probe throughout the hour. when we return, where does the investigation go from here? and will donald trump now move to fire mueller or start giving out pardons. what s next. plus, everything we know about trump s relationship with michael flynn. and the hardball roundtable here to talk about why the bombshell news anything to do with trump s increasingly erratic behavior and the russian republicans to pass their tax cut for the wealthy. really is for the wealthy. let me finish with trump watch on this historic day in washington. this is hardball where the action its. it s time for sleep number s lowest
and i asked for his resignation. when i looked at the information. i said i ve dent thi don t thin anything wrong. he did something right. he was doing his job. the thing is he didn t tell our vice president, properly. well, president trump hoping to take a victory lap, touting the passage of the trump tower tax cult. then the flynn news broke. we ll get to that and more with hardball roundtable. you are watching hardball. of. but right now, our bond is fraying. how do we get back to us ? the y fills the gaps. and bridges our divides. donate to your local y today. because where there s a y, there s an us.
