nation going on. the health care vote will keep chasing them around. you have rush limbaugh chasing then on this subject, and johnson who was one of the obstacles for mitch mcconnell who is now i think, trying to cover the tracks and not be counted among the people who caused a problem that made this so difficult to get to a vote. we get to a conversation we were having off air. it s the case that one of things trump is saying about mcconnell is right in the grandest sense. this republican party spent seven years saying repeal and replace, and then when they finally had the power to do it, they had no idea how to do it because you know what? replacing a bill that affects a sixth of the economy is really hard, and republicans never really meant that they had any intention of replacing it, so they never should have said they wanted to replace it. they deserve every piece of political pain they suffer for this bill. trump will continue to
warrant to come into evidence for us to see it publicly? that may be. it may also be that mueller may produce a report to the department of justice making a recommendation about whether or not to prosecute and which crimes. and some of this information may come forward at that point. david kcay johnston and miek eoyang, thank you. coming up, president trump tells us everything he learned about nuclear weapons he learned from his uncle 35 years ago. and live tv. the channels you love. your favorite shows and movies. making your iphone into more of a. oh my tv is ringing. hey.i m in the middle of a.a second iphone from at&t? okay! right now when you buy a new iphone 7 from at&t you ll get a second iphone 7 on us. and power both with unlimited data and live tv. you re searching for something. whoooo.
heilemann, trump versus manafort today. national enquirer comes out with a slam on paul manafort. that strikes me as the same thing as a trump tweet. i think that s probably right. i think you made the point earlier it could be counterproductive because why do you want manafort to be alienated from you and potentially want to flip. we ve never seen anything like this before. you asked before about the politics of it. if you re sitting in the white house right now, washington has seen a lot of special prosecutors. a lot of special independent counsels. never in the reagan era, in the bush era, in the clinton era, we ve never seen dawn raids with search warrants. never before. so if you re in the white house where there s already a lot of pressure and everybody has started to lawyer up or is already lawyered up, this again in terms of the political pressure on those people in that building, extraordinarily greater. robert mueller surely knows that he s the first special prosecutor
the washington post reported this morning that the fbi executed that raid on wednesday, july 26th. one former federal prosecutor told the washington post that the raid, quote, adds a shock and awe enforcement component to what until now has followed a natural path for a white-collar investigation. the raid occurred the day after paul manafort met with senate intelligence committee staff. we don t know when president trump found out about the raid, but it is entirely possible that paul manafort s lawyers told the president s lawyers about the raid basically as soon as it happened. and president trump s lawyers would, of course, immediately tell their client about the raid. and so by 8:55 a.m. when the president issued some of his first tweets of the day, the president might have been trying to shift attention away from the special prosecutor s investigation that day onto an entirely new story. and that is exactly what the
about the fbi raid after he successfully changed the subject to the transgender ban, or maybe he just couldn t contain himself from taking a shot at the leader of the fbi, the law enforcement agency that just raided his former campaign chairman s home. an hour after the washington post broke the story about the fbi raid of paul manafort s home today, the national enquirer broke a different story about paul manafort. under the headline, trump adviser paul manafort caught up in sick sex scandal. now, it might be what qualifies as a sex scandal in america. it certainly isn t what qualifies as a sex scandal in france, but there seems to be nothing sick about it in anyone s definition of sick. it s a story alleging that paul manafort had an affair with a younger woman, which we all know is a life specialty of donald trump s. but the national enquirer is a trump tool. when it comes to trump s stories, the national enquirer
