problems that these committees have had in even the judiciary committee which in the senate side is working well for a while. he is not for feinstein basically acknowledged there are problems with senator grassley. they are going their separate ways. mike warner trying to work with rippard burr but problems on getting subpoenas. but most profound from the very beginning because your chair, devin nunes was working with the white house and had to recuse himself. we ve he seen our energy focussed in the wrong areas he. he has been subpoenaing fbi and gps but we haven t seen the relevant witnesses under subpoena. jared kushner he wasn t under subpoena. then after about 2 1/2 hours on his own decided not to continue the interview. samantha was in the chair about 1 1/2 hours longer than kushner because she he was brought in by the majority. what do we do to make sure this doesn t happen again? and this isn t the direction
expect to see either man speak necessarily in the court behind me. they could be in and out in a few minutes. . manafort s attorney, told reporters, he may talk to reporters outside of the courthouse when this all breaks up. for manafort, this has been a long day already. a reporter saw him leaving his house at 7:45 in the morning. reporters saw him going into the fbi district office here at about 8:15 and we will see him in the courtroom although the cameras may not catch him depending on how he comes in and out of this room. but this is maybe the single most recognizable nonfamily member of the trump campaign now on tv. i can tell you, local and international media beating this up ad nauseam all day today. very ugly long day for him. it will be interesting, from my perspective, to see how the white house reacts to it,
for the clinton folks and, you know, i think we ll see a little more of that from her today. now, they have a very powerful mega phone in the white house. they ll have a white house briefing, the president s tweets. but let s look at the details in these indictments. right. there s a number of things we new, tax evasion, money laundering, false statements to federal the fbi and what isn t there is a link to explicit link to the trump campaign, which is what you re going to hear the white house seize upon. we ve already seen a little bit of that. they ve now moved the briefing up to up 15 minutes to 1:15. they re going to, i think, try to continue to distance themselves and the president from paul manafort. that s really just a very difficult thing to do. the tape is there. i mean, you know, he was a key player in the trump campaign and he came in during an important time. but that s not going to stop them. charlie, you re in the midwest, in wisconsin.
off-shore accounts. the government says they earned millions and millions of dollars, used it to buy property, used it for members of their family. and when asked by the fbi if they were doing any by the justice department as long as a year ago, whether they were doing any work inside the u.s., for ukraine, which would require them to register as foreign agents, they said no. so a number of charges against them. and although these are not directly related to the campaign, as matter of fact, it doesn t really mention russia at all, in the charges against them, obviously this could be important leverage it try to get them to cooperate if indeed they are willing to do so. you have to wonder whether the government tried to cut a deal with them as it did with george papadopoulos and they decided that they didn t want to cooperate. but in any event this is important leverage against them, andrea. and we should point out that the president has been saying that all of this was prior and that
investigation, to shift the focus from the trump investigation to hillary clinton. i mean, this was like a bonfire of what about-ism trying to change the subject. now you have real laws, real indictments, real guilty pleas. this comes at a crucial moment. and, of course, that was replicating what you just referenced, was replicating the way the president when he was a candidate handled it all just a year ago this is what donald trump was saying about hillary clinton. the fbi after discovering new e-mails is reopening their investigation into hillary clinton. i have great respect for the fbi for righting this wrong. we hope all, all justice will finally be served. the news this morning is this is bigger than watergate. bigger than watergate.
