the washington post. he said the fate of d.r.e.a.m.ers lies in paul ryan s hands adding that unfortunately there isn t much reason to believe he will do the right thing. that s because whatever the senate passes, would then have to pass the house. right. and the question is whether paul ryan allows a vote on the bill. will he? well, are i don t know. that goes back to senator graham s statement. speaker ryan is waiting for president trump. look speaker ryan as a speaker has managed his caucus pretty well and managed this shutdown situation well staying out of the limelight as has president trump. republicans won the first round. throughout his career before and after he is the speaker, speaker ryan mainly just is has served as a rubber stamp for republican presidents, whether it was medicare part d, no child
yesterday the president was definitely not pleased with general kelly. in recent days, trump has fumed to friends that kelly acts like he is running the government while trump tweets and watches television. i ve got another nut job here who thinks he is running things, trump told one friend, according to a republican briefed on the call. a second source confirmed that trump has vented about kelly, mentioning one call in which trump said this guy thinks he is running the show, sally. so most people agree that the president needs strong people like kelly to manage him. but is this what the is that what the president really wants? he doesn t want that. but the fact is that it s not possible. no one can manage him. and it would it seems to me after a year that it has been quite clear. the only person who seems to have been able to have any influence and fly under the radar is general mattis. and for some reason, he has not gotten himself in trouble, even though in that dear leader meet
as a federal prosecutor and somebody on the other side, you know, representing clients, you know, unless you think you can beat the charges and i will tell you federal prosecutors get convictions well over 90% of the time in cases so unless you think can you beat all the charges, the smart thing to do is cooperate. this is the right move for gates. i think the question is you know first of all obviously this is bad news for paul manafort. he already was looking at a very difficult case of his own. now he has a cooperator against him. the questions what else can manafort gates give mueller about the campaign because he was involved in the campaign. juliette, the washington post is reporting that shortly after president trump fired comey when he met with the acting fbi director andrew mccabe. he asked him who did you vote for, to which mccabe responded he didn t vote which i think was a smart answer. you used to work for the fbi. have you heard of anything like this happening bef

fbi come director comey. last year does he it seem he could be getting closer to trump. it certainly seems that way. as renato said, these are people you do not interview until you are relatively far along in the investigation. but i think also the comey news and the session news should remind us that one of the constants in this is that bob mueller has always known much more than we think he does. he has always been several steps ahead of where the public reporting has been. the leaks are not coming from his team. you know, he is able to conduct these interviews in secret. and they come oh out days or even weeks later. and are sort of surprising to us when we find out. this goes i think perhaps to some of those dark areas of the investigation that both juliette and renato mentioned. we know that there is significant evidence that exists
