Thats a really good thing. Now were being hindered by the russian hoax. Its a hoax, okay . Earlier this week he wrote, quote, Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now. Bob mueller is totally conflicted and his 17 angry democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to the usa. His concern about Paul Manaforts financial crimes trial comes out in this posting. Quote, Paul Manafort worked for Ronald Reagan, bob dole and many other prominent respected political leaders. He worked for me for a very short time. Why didnt government tell me he was under investigation . These old charges have nothing to do with collusion. A hoax. But trump reserved some of his sharpest attacks for his critics, the news media. Even these horrible horrendous people say look at it, it looks l
The days top stories from around the world, from politics and money, to sports and pop culture. The days top stories from around the world, from politics and money, to sports and pop culture. A voluntary interview suggests theres more to the interview. When you want that you want it written down so you can use it in the future maybe for perjury. In terms of that, if you are roger stone and youre watching how this is playing out, you and your attorneys as youre huddling, whats the thinking there. Well trks ha, its hard to k. Hes under scrutiny. If you were going to make a list three years ago of the Trump Associates who were most likely to be in trouble, it would be Paul Manafort, roger stone beneath him. So i think that the major jeopardy were seeing in this case, you have one shady lobbying case. Paul manafort. Russians indicted who will never see the inside of a u. S. Courtroom and then you have perjury. You have people not telling the truth. So any lawyer working for any of these pe

This trial does not have to do with any connection to the 2016 campaign. Nor does rick gates involvement dovetail with what he did in the 2016 campaign, nor his work on the inaugural committee. Its a highly separate trial involving past clients of Paul Manaforts. I think if were reading between the lines, its the prelude to something that is supposed to be bigger. Obviously the prosecutors have a case that theyre bringing here, but it does seem like theyre looking down the road to try to get or compel Paul Manafort to participate in the larger mission, which is the investigation to collusion in the trump campaign. And were all sort of waiting to see what manafort does under this type of pressure. I do agree that the case the defense he is bringing seems highly uncompelling. Basically, he is saying my underli
Clinton and don, jr. Among others. And there is more. A federal judge is forcing a longtime aide to Trump Advisor Roger stone to Turnover Documents and testify before a grand jury hearing, Hearing Evidence in the mueller investigation. Stone sought damaging information about Hillary Clinton from wikileaks, the website which published thousands of hacked democratic emails, emails stolen by russian hackerses, hackers the Trump Justice Department identified as agents of the russian government. There are also new developments in the trial of the president s former Campaign Manager, Paul Manaforts bookkeeper testifying that her boss was effectively broke and lying to banks about his precarious financial situation after losing his biggest client, which is the prorussian former ukrainian president. And that was right about the same time that manafort started working for the Trump Campaign. The bookkeeper also testified that she knew nothing of foreign accounts controlled by manafort. That pos
Laura Ingraham shines a spotlight on everyday Americans and examines how their lives are affected by politics at the federal, state and local level. Hispanic unemployment, which is so important in my state, is at a low of 4. 5. The lowest ever under President Obama was 5. 4. Kids that dropped out of high school, the record fell 5. 1 . How great is that undeployment . I dont understand why they would not root for the success of america because when you do its rooting for the success of all of us. I want to a sound bite for you about what democrats are missing. Lets watch. Their message to me and the five and a half million americans who are demanding Donald Trumps impeachment is that its bad politics, its off message, and it will galvanize the republicans. Not a Single Person in the Senate Democratic caucus has
shown the common sense or the sense of right and wrong to support impeach him. Not one. Is that what the democrats need to rally around . Impeachment. No, it wont turn people out
