Special counsel. Is he hoping for a pardon from President Trump . Not only is he not hoping for, he would not accept a pardon. We all knew that this was going to be used as a hush money kind of payment from Campaign Finances. You knew at the time . We knew. The conviction of Paul Manafort is another blow to President Trump and a boost for Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Mr. Manafort is disappointed of not getting acquittals all the way through or a complete hung jury on all counts. He is evaluating all of his options at this point. Its a bad day for the president and im sure he understands that. It looks like manafort and cohen only have more to say, only may cooperate more. This could get worse. I dont think he can be indicted while sitting in office, but well just have to see where this all works out. The heart and soul of this is about collusion with the russians and obstruction of justice. First of all, the House Of Representatives draws up articles of impeachment. Think of the hou
Dick cheney is a robot many indisputable proof, big foot spotted in northern california, and mans 174 mile per hour sneeze blows wifes hair off. Over on fox, the feeling was, the interview went pretty well. You and i frayeded a lot of papers ah, and its been a good conversation, thank you, sir. Thank you very much. With that, a friendly reminder, theres always a paper trail on the ridiculis. Thank you, anderson. Well argued. I am chris cuomo, welcome to prime time. The president making the case that he has done nothing wrong. This case seems to be plagued by contradictions. Were going to test them with Kellyanne Conway. And the president s good friend says the president was in the room when the plan was hatched to pay off women who threatened
his campaign. Legal exposure for that . Well take it up in cuomos court. Criminal prosecution is a maybe. Political skrut any, 100 . Specifically if the president is shown to be lying about key issues. How bad could it be . Lots to test, lets get
donald trump is that he does have a stranglehold on the base of the republican party. controls the primaries and will likely help people win primaries. likely win the nomination himself. but he can t win a general election. he couldn t win in 2020 and not only lose the presidency, but the house and the senate. given what we know going forward, it is hard to imagine how he was going forward. my advice to republicans is, get donald trump off of the windshield, put him in the rearview mirror, look at the virginia governor s race as a example of a republican running. by putting trump at arms length and seeing what could happen in a typically democratic state where republican won. so i think that if republicans are smart and get trump in the rearview mirror, they ve got a lot more upshot. and larry hogan i think is a great voice for that. i hope he runs and we will see how wide he gets. mark, eugene, we hope you ll stay with us through the bag, just ahead, the dilemma that democrats now f
people will watch. we have been talking a lot, mark, about how former president has been dividing the gop. this issue about the president in particular. this was maryland governor larry hogan over the weekend. i m concerned about the direction of the party in the country. i will make a decision about 2024 after i finish this job. so your considering it? i will certainly take a look at it after january 2023. i guess the big question mark is, is there really a lane for a moderate republican for a blue state to take on trump, or someone like him? you mean, for the truth, i sure hope so. i think i ve been preaching for a long time that the problem with donald trump is that he does have a stranglehold on the base of the republican party. he controls the primaries, and will help likely win the nomination. but he can t win a general election. he couldn t win in 2020, and not only the presidency but the house and the senate. given what we know going forward, it is hard to know how
he s guilty or there s nothing to see here. what do you recommend they do? well, once you go out front it changes a little bit. you know you ve got everybody watching, of course. most of these members are from absolutely safe partisan districts. and i think that colors it on both sides a little bit. if you re a democrat at this point and you re not rabid about removing donald trump, you re going to have a tough primary. and if you re republican as we saw with justin amash, he couldn t win re-election after he came out of that and i think that s in the back of everybody s mind. look, i think in the senate in particular where some of these senators or all the senators have to run statewide, you really are going to have a choice in some cases between where the base may be and moderate and independent voters may be. but this has only happened a few times in history for a reason.
