investigation goes in a big sense. anderson cooper just interviewed a manafort juror who voted to convict him on all counts even though ultimately he was only convicted on eight of the 18. she is also a trump supporter and the full interview by the way airs tonight. but listen to this part of what she said. how would you feel if the president pardoned paul manafort? i feel it would be a grave mistake for president trump to pardon paul manafort. why? justice was done. the evidence was there. and that is where it should stop. michael, would this be a grave mistake? well, i m not surprised at all to hear a juror say that particularly one who voted for conviction because if he should offer a pardon, her view is going to be, hey, what the hell, i sat in that courtroom for w k

threat from north korea. and now he is admitting that it is not going well. this is really a change in tone and one that doesn t come often from this president. what we re seeing is that trump s private frustration with the progress of the north korea nuclear diplomacy spilling out into public view for the very first time. and what that reflects is a change in the internal battle inside the top level of the trump administration over what is going on, how bad is it, and what we should do about it. national security adviser john bolton but not just are bolton, a lot of others, have been pushing the president privately to take what they call a more realistic approach, but what others cause a more hawkish roach. a approach. and that means talking tough, acknowledging the reality that there is no progress, and considering a pivot to a stance that is more public, more confrontational, might include more pressure mechanisms like sanctions. and it seems that today those hard liners have won
because the president is now taking that exact public position. now, that didn t mean we know what is going to happen tomorrow. remember, this could be a tactical play by the president. right before the singapore summit, he canceled the summit and everybody panicked. and then a few days later it was back on when kim jung-un did something to prove thhe was sti interested. so we have to entertain the possibility that the president is sending a signal of cut the crap and then everything can be okay again. and one last thing, when the president says i look forward to seeing you soon, but you re not going to see mike pompeo, well, isn t he cutting his own top diplomat off at the knees by canceling his trip and then saying deal with me, i m the president. we ll talk about dealing with pompeo some other time. pretty astounding. or is he trying to to have it both ways, sort of maintain the close friendship so to speak with kim jung-un but at the same time saying you won t get to
district of new york. and frankly, ana, i don t think that you put together all these immunity deals if the only thing you re going after is conspiracy to commit election fraud. so i can t fully explain to you, but i m absolutely not buying the explanation that the feds gave immunity to these two individuals just to go after michael cohen. and if i were michael cohen, i d be saying geez, why didn t they give me immunity. none of it makes sense. you mentioned michael cohen and the words mob boss. other people have used mob boss in talking about president trump himself this week given some of the language he s used about flipping, some of the comments he s made about manafort and the conviction there. the new york times has an article out today where the guy who wrote good fellas draws similarities between trump and a mob on boss, quoting from the article here, it writes, when i first heard that trump said to comey let this go, it just rang such a bell with me, said the
