thinking, he s gonna flip, he s gonna flip, but all of this, i guess you could be excited if you think donald trump who some of the liberals consider an incompetent buffoon had this vast international conspiracy to steal a presidential election from the most qualified person ever to run for president, but if you don t think that is what happened and while they been looking for two years, journalist have been looking for two years, the fbi, intelligence sources have been looking for two years and they don t have any evidence. then what is it exactly that paul manna court is going to flip on? i think they re getting over excited about nothing. also consider manafort didn t have that much to do with the campaign. he didn t come into it until trump had been running for a year. it s kind of crazy enough to think that marco rubio or ted cruz colluded with the foreign power, but trump, it was donald trump and him for one

you don t hear when people cooperate that people talk about their safety. something is going on and perhaps that was part of the plea agreement that the government was going to offer him and his family protection. we know that paul manafort dealt with a lot of shady characters for a long time. that could be a concern that they may think including russian oligarch who is have a history of punishing his critics overseas. that was a concern. folks that i talked to was thinking why manafort didn t want to cooperate is because he was afraid for his safety. there could be something going on where the government ordered him safety. the other thing is the continuous cooperation that they are going to get. not just in the mueller investigation, but in the justice department. robert mueller sunday cases to the southern district of new york. the u.s. attorney here in
gloria borger. how big of a win is this for robert mueller? this is a huge win. i think this is what he was working towards. it was very clear manafort didn t want to go to jail for the rest of his life, and he cut a deal that if he cooperates in the way that they expect, and they expect he will testify fully, completely and truthfully before any and all grand juries about everything, okay? this is not limited. this is about everything. that he could get a lesser sentence. i think he made a decision that they wanted him to make, so i think it really could turn out to be a game changer depending on what he knows. and, of course, they re going to ask about the trump tower meeting, they re going to ask him about his business, they ll ask about his affiliations in the trump campaign. this could prove to be quite a gold mine for them despite the fact that sarah sanders is out there saying this has absolutely nothing to do with donald trump.
