Good news personally. Stone talked to reporters outside his house. On my conviction so i and i had a choice of a pardon or a comation. Im happy to have that because i want to clear my name. Im happy to fight it out and im happy i would like to win a new trial and vindication. Oh, and Something Else happened last night in what has become a friday night news tradition with this administration. William barr suddenly replaced. The u. S. Attorney for the Eastern District of new york who had been working on the ukraine scandal at the center of trumps impeachment. Perfect. Joining me now is editor in chief of the national em moe and author of man of the world. Anthony scare new kyi. Joe, you know roger. You know him very well. I want to read you the white house statement he expects to be fully exonerated by the Justice System. Roger stone suffered greatly. He was treated unfairly as were many others in the case. You can say that about a lot of people that are in prison who committed crimes. T
Anyway, lets talk about the woodward book. Its fascinating to me, to watch politicians go on television and say this is a gotya book when the president when hes doing, almost what were doing. Playing the president s words back, for the audience to hear. But somehow, its a gotya hit job, and they dont want to really respond to it. Its just fascinating to watch. I havent seen it. Id have to hear it, for myself. Well, let me play the sound bite. Yeah. Right . They are fos. They knew, when he knew. Ive been digging into this, ever since it came out. Ive been digging into it, for months. Okay. They all knew. Did they get it wrong, early on . Yes. Everybody. All the scientists. Everybody who was in there. The consensus was we dont think its going to be like it is in china or europe. We think were going to be all right. They were wrong. But when they made the shift, trump refused to make the shift. And he forced them to slow off the shift. I dont know if everyone got d it wrong. I think peopl
A recap of the days news. Firing. He was there shoaleder to shoulder he Doesnt Know What Mueller knows. It seems implausible to me that he doesnt provide factual material thats illuminating about the president s state of mind. So i think raeurlts little bit over confident to be saying that at this point. But the real question is why would trumps lawyers not debrief mcgahn . The white House Counsel has given 30 hours of interviews. Much of which the Trump Legal Team is in the dark with. Its like a book on tape, isnt it . Thats a lot of testimony. The white house got nothing out of this in return for letting all of these people submit to interviews. You would have thought that they would have at least negotiated, been able to debrief everyone. Strategy . Lets go back to the question of whether or not he incriminated the president. The president seems not to understand that mcgahn is not his personal lawyer. So you think about the kinds of things that might have been toads mcgahn under th
Hours of testimony. Not only are the president s attorneys still in the dark about it, the president himself is rattled. Remember it was don mcgann who threatened to quit when President Trump attempted to fire Robert Mueller last june. Sources confirming that federal authorities are preparing charges against michael cohen. The u. S. Attorneys office is investigating cohen for possible bank and tax fraud as well as Campaign Finance violations for Hush Money Payments to stormy daniels. Those charges could come next week. And today, Paul Manafort served the Trump Campaign for 18 months. Hes facing 18 separate counts
of bank and tax fraud. He also faces charges on Money Laundering and fraudulent lobbying. Good evening, everyone, welcome to the program. Heres what the sources are telling cnn, mcgann didnt provide incriminating information about the president. He doesnt believe he implicated trump in any wrongdoing. Give me your assessment of this . I dont understand how they can say that so
