it s going to make the white house a little worried, i believe. clint, i want to read you laurence tribe from harvard law school, smarter than the average bear. donald trump was in the building when now confessed russian spy veselnitskaya met with donald junior to trade anti-hillary dirt for trump s promise to dilute anti-kremlin sanctions, but nunes shut down the house inquiry into what trump knew and when. trump/putin conspiracy plus obstruction of justice. agree? disagree? agree. there s several points in this document when you go through it where you see them go. they ask somebody a question, and they say, no, somebody else. for example, ukraine and offensive weapons. that changed in the rnc platform. you see it in the document. they go and ask was manafort involved in this? no, manafort didn t know anything about it. it was somebody else in the campaign. but it stops. no follow-up. right. and senator mccain has brought this up repeatedly. it was a complete shock to him. th
manafort because he could get out of going to jail for a long time because they have a good case against him based on documentation and receipts and wire transfers. and e-mail. and it doesn t depend on testimony of people. what if manafort doesn t know enough? in other words do you think mueller knows that manafort knows a lot because if he doesn t have something to trade off, he is in big trouble. yeah. but if manafort didn t know anything, he would make it very clear. but i think that for example, take this beating this june 9th meeting. at the trump tower. everybody said nothing happened as a result of the meeting. but in fact a short time after the meeting the russians released the e-mail troll that they hacked from the dnc, democratic national committee. was that a coincidence or a quid pro quo. manafort would know about that. and if manafort knows about it, his his side kick gates
separate prosecutions, one after the other, and really knock them around i may be wrong about that. but it strikes me there s a reason these are filed in separate jurisdictions and it s a message to the defense. paul? i m not sure it s a message. you can only prosecute somebody for the crime in the place they commit it had crime, so the first indictment had to be filed in d.c. because the registration process takes place in d.c. the tax evasion charges, it s where you live, where you made the money or where you filed your tax returns. looks like manafort didn t do any of those things in d.c. so they filed those returns in virginia but david is right it looks like they ll be back-to-back trials, maybe not weeks apart but months apart. we ll see which goes first. thank you all for joining us on this important night. appreciate it.

maybe gates knows, because manafort told him, what happened. so gates is in a position to tell us about that meeting. he is in a position not us, but mueller and the grand ju jury he s in a position to tell them about other activities manafort was engaged in. manafort, apparently, was willing to brief one of the russian oligarcoligarchs. maybe it is a way of getting back to putin about the trump campaign. so this could confirm all kinds of collusion. also, other things that were going on in the campaign at that time because he was raising money for the campaign. he stayed on in the transition. if you remember, the indictment of manafort didn t have any connections to the trump campaign. it was about manafort and his fairly long history of working with and for foreign governments. what s the idea here, that mueller gets to place manafort in a position where manafort needs to turn, as well, and then you have four guilty pleas opposed to the two we have now? well, that s one of th
