in terms of mcgahn being who was sort of in the middle of his interview it sounds like with mueller s investigators when starting on thursday they broke on friday for when the flynn investigation sorry, when the flynn plea agreement was announced and they ve maybe picked up that interview already this week or will later on this week. is it a crime for somebody to tell a lie to mueller s investigators in one of these interview settings? it absolutely is something that could be prosecuted and charged. if you are lying, if you give inconsistent statements, i mean, a prosecutor has to make a decision about how important this lie is and what you re trying to cover up and whether or not you are intending to conceal. but it s certainly something that s prosecutable. and that threat has a way of focusing the mind i m sure. as general yeah, go ahead. there are two people who have been charged with it already, and we re not many months down the road. exactly. carol leonnig, a repor

knowing what you know about mueller and the democratic of justice, let s start with the breaking news here that pam was sharing. what do you make about the fact that the doj was meeting with manafort s son-in-law? well, manafort s son-in-law seems to be offering free pieces of information that are very important. first they re saying tax. second they re saying money laundering and third they re saying real estate. and all three of those things are important problems for manafort. the tax is the foreign accounting tax act that requires you to report foreign accounts. the money laundering is also foreign account based activity for his company davis manafort international in the ukraine. and then the real estate is what s under investigation by the attorney general of new york where they use shell companies to buy high end real estate. so i think yohai has offered them a lot of information relevant to money laundering and tax prosecutable offenses.
