your hour tonight. i have it right here. what? does it pain you that i have it in my hands? i shouldn t have i have the rage. yes. i ve heard about that. i saw your exchange. it s the rath. it s the rage. this is really just jealousy. i m turning green, not red. i got this ten minutes ago, okay? let me just give you this. let me just give you the last line, the last line spoken by the defense. okay. today to the jury. the government has not met their burden beyond a reasonable doubt that mr. manafort knowingly and willfully filed false returns or knowingly or willfully failed to file f bars. he then went on to thank the jury. the last line, the last line from the prosecution. last words the jury has heard from one of the lawyers in the case before the judge took over
we have been a shining example to the world and mr. trump is letting this country down. malcolm nance, john brennan pleading that we are better than this. and we are better than that. i mean, we are absolutely better than this. what breaks my heart is that there are right now hundreds of intelligence watch standards around the world watching this program listening to these words thinking that their careers, their dedication working in the dark, their self-lessness can just be tossed away because of a political whim. if it can happen to the highest person at the krrngscia, it cann to the average watch stander. it might be happening. this administration almost immediately employed political come sars early on. this administration is incompetent. and their incompetence shows
so there is no reason to put an end to it. and giuliani just makes things up. he says things that are simply not true. otay john brennan said that he believes that not only must the investigation continue but it is obviously putting more and more pressure on donald trump and perhaps that s part of the behavior we re seeing donald trump manifest publically. let s listen to what john brennan said. it s critically important that bob mueller and his team be allowed to continue their work unimpeded by mr. trump s or anyone else in the administration. it is important that rod rosenstein stays in charge of that investigation from a department of justice oversight perspective. but clearly i think mr. trump is getting more and more concerned, more and more desperate. i would say more and more frightened as there is closer and closer magnification of some
with his instructions. ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the evidence in this case is what controls. it s the evidence that comes from that witness stand and it leads to only one conclusion, and that is that mr. manafort is guilty and guilty as charged. one of those sounds very perry mason and one of those doesn t. which? which one? the one that didn t say f bar, which actually might be an fdc banned acronym. the evidence that comes from that witness stand where paul manafort never sat and where no witnesses appeared for the defense. everything you are supposed to take from this case comes from that witness stand. the defense gave you nothing. you know, everybody keeps telling us all the legal experts keep telling us it is not that weird that the defense didn t mount a defense. but the defense didn t mount a defense.
bricks. i thought rudy giuliani already loaded all of his bricks. they are working on their legal research to fight all the way to the supreme court if robert mueller issues a subpoena to donald trump. we would move to quash the subpoena and we re pretty much finished with our memorandum opposing a subpoena. by we dpgiuliani means mr. floo. he outlined three possible scenarios of what happens next. plan a is rework out the questioning. plan b is redon t and they subpoena. plan c is they file the report and don t issue a subpoena. joining our discussion now, jason johnson, politics editor at the root.com and jill wine-banks is back with us. jason johnson, in the history of these kinds of investigations,
