not only that did that not work out, it s to his detriment. mueller has the baddest attitude about manafort. he sthaerves no knock warrant at his house in the middle of the night. he does not like this guy. it may that be manafort s holding out now because he doesn t have a good deal. even if he pleads last question. trump or manafort, who has brought more trouble to the other guy s doorstep? i think they both have hurt each other. a bad chemistry there. thank you very much. coming up, are we starting to see signs that something might get done about guns? florida s governor is now calling for raysing the minimum wage to buy a gun 21 but with the nra dead set against that. and trump reading from nra s talking points, the republicans go along? you call that one. plus, as they talk about the issue of guns, is there room in the democratic party for a moderate pro business candidate for president? we ll meet the first candidate
over. in this particular instance i find it so interesting that yesterday, all the political sound bite s going back and forth, here s my take, here s my crystal ball as it were. the investigation is obviously going to progress along, i don t think paul manafort is going to cooperate. harris: i want to stop you right there. you don t think paul manafort will cooperate, was that frustrating by the fact that that raid? first of all, you don t really do a search warrant, we analyze that in a white-collar case unless you think the documents might be destroyed or removed. you don t do a no knock warrant and kick the door in, there are those who praised mueller, but you can also condemn it because your point of such a good one, that might ve alienated him. i don t think he would ve cooperated under any circumstances.
crime. steve: if it was somebody from mueller s team that would be bad for the person s on mueller s team who leaked it. if it was an attorney for somebody who is going to get in trouble today is, that also a crime? no. if the prosecutors release the information to a target or, for example, if a witness is in the grand jury room, they are not subject to the same restrictions. ainsley: who are the most obvious targets? well, you know, this is like the academy awards in washington of who is in the indictment envelope. and everyone waits and takes odds on this. most of the sort of solid money on paul manafort because he s the one who was the subject of i thought a rather heavy handed no knock warrant by mueller s team not that long ago. he has a lot of financial dealings that have been raised as questionable.
clear statements that are looking at collusion evidence. right. another big critique of mueller s critics is they did this pre-dawn. they have no knock warrant. mueller s office is pushing back saying the warrant that they obtained to search the residence was not a no knock warrant. this is something that we now know the investigation into collusion has always been running on a parallel track to the other investigations. mueller s team had reason to believe there were documents memorializing this meeting. they had said it was a nothing burger and nothing came out of it.
say it s july, when you learned evidence of the fact that paul manafort had a warrant executed on his house, which was not a knock and announce. normally you would have the courtesy extended to people. the ability to turn one s self in may not be extended in this case, but likely it will. the first you may hear of it may be around the same time the person is actually turning themselves in, and probably orchestrated press conference by that very person. so, michael, there was that no knock warrant she just mentioned. served on paul manafort s home. is it likely manafort or michael flynn? the manafort tax matters and perhaps money laundering tax matters being handled by andrew weissmann, and the flynn matter which started in the u.s. attorney s office in the eastern
