The rest of this case? i think that s going to be really interesting going forward. stay with me. david, from one other thing that we do know that looks more significant tonight with this breaking news, 6:09 p.m. on the east coast, reports that paul manafor manafort s estranged son has flipped and he s cooperating. we don t know who he s cooperating with, but we know bob mueller s investigators had previously met with him. your view of this story? well, there s so many angles with the manafort story. because many of the things manafort did before joining the trump campaign were so intensely suspicious. so it s not clear to me that this would have a direct bearing on anything to do with what happened in 2016 and after. but the thing that everyone needs to keep in mind, his pre2016 dealings, he volunteered to work for the trump campaign for free. that s just something you have to keep in mind. manafort, not a very charitable
Expect a subpoena, and he ll have to make a decision about whether or not he s willing to go to prison to protect a source. because it s a very big deal to leak one of these. i completely agree with seth, the information is there. the information isn t going to be lost. but also if you read that report, many of the people farrow talked to, at least half the people, i think, said, well, there could be an explanation for this other than the theft or the and i appreciate that nuance. and indeed nbc s reported on the possible counterintelligence reasons, which is to say, it was put to the side for the right reason, not the wrong reason. although i did read the allegation of the whistle-blower. seth, when you look at these reports breaking over the last five minutes, that paul manafort s estranged former son-in-law has flipped, as far back as january, is cooperating with investigators and that we don t know whether that directly comes from the mueller probe or separately, this is a pers
Could be monitored. the question today, as you know, the current special counsel investigation has revealed several high-profile washington elite on both sides of the aisle. mr. podesta, mr. paul manafort, who violated that. you agree without the investigation of these cases would likely not become public? perhaps. let me back off and say, i have not followed that closely and do not have into the information, and it would be inappropriate for me to express an opinion. i accept that. the point, a lot of these things stay below the radar, because or not has been focus and attention, and the investigation brought that. it is long overdue. historical evidence going back as far as the administration of george h.w. bush to reform the law in this area. this is despite repeated recommendations to have a
Defendants are charged with special counsel mueller like paul papadopoulos, paul manafor manafort? i would think so. it does not call for the most maximum sentence. it simply calls for charging the crime most serious crime with the minimum sentence for that most serious crime. i was confused about one thing that came up in the various questioning about the meeting with mr. papadopoulos. at one point i heard you to say, you told him essentially, no, do not go. you try to shut it down. the trip. another point i heard you say, do not represent yourself by speaking for the campaign. if you could clarify that. are you telling him not to go or not to go and officially speak for the trunk campaign i have no specific i
Campaign manager paul manafort actually physically went to iraq today for the referendum. seems remarkable he would be comfortably traveling internationally undermining u.s. foreign policy abroad as a private citizen while awaiting indictment on other matters. it seems bizarre he would be doing that but it been reported that he maybe was planning to be in iraq for the referendum today. we asked a spokesman directly if paul manafort was planning to leave the country to attend this thing. that spokes p sman would not te us. if you re watching from iraq tonight, and you have seen paul manafort around, let me know, www.send it to rachel.com, where in the world is paul manafort?i in the world is paul manaforin the world is paul manafor manafort?hillary clinton s use of a private e-mail address to conduct government business while secretary of state.
