Questions today to say that these conversations didnt happen. But what the New York Times is reporting is that these conversations were happening indeed by lawyers last fall. Youll remember last fall as Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort were both the discussions were happening if they would cooperate with the special counsel or not. Now, one ended up doing so. Michael flynn ended up pleading guilty in december. Paul manafort, the former Campaign Chairman ended up not. Hes fighting this. Thats why these conversations are important. If the white house, if the president was offering or talking about some type of pardon, is there obstruction of justice here . Now, these are all questions. We dont know the answer to these questions. But this new reporting and the white houses very careful calibration today certainly suggests that this may be something that bob mueller is looking into. Yeah, a lot depends obviously on the wording. I mean assuming this conversation between john dowd and the att
