though trump you could argue wasn t the typical standard bearer. he is now and the whole party capitulated to his identity. i ll talk to you in a second. sure. here s what i don t get about the wrongdoing thing. i feel like you guys talk about wrongdoing on the republican side only from the lens of criminality. poll after poll shows, you know this, people care about this, they want to know who did what. it matters. do they want impeachment? no. i ve never seen a poll where you have the majority of the country saying it. we also don t know what we re talking about either. we get to see this report, if we ever get do see it, have to see what the oversight yields, if yields anything. that will matter to the american people. they re not fools. they care about this. i think that the question is going to be this, is a felony the only thing that isn t fine? if it s not a felony, because we know right now there was collusion with people on the campaign. not a crime, but what manafort did
catch you. yeah. this is a tougher call than that. it will be interesting to see if you allow it to happen, you keep perpetuating this sort of bad behavior. so i m going to talk to jemele hill, the great sports journalist for the atlantic. she s going to be on to talk about the rigged system. also we re going to talk to mr. michael isikoff on everything russia, including paul manafort today. strong. strong. see you in a second, handsome. no singing tonight, though. we couldn t do better than we did. the president s still crying no collusion today after the manafort sentencing, even though it had nothing to do with that subject. he keeps saying it because he wants you to believe it. you need to get ready for what is to come. this is no joke, and i have an argument for how we should examine it next. you still stressed about buying our first house, sweetie?

transcript. so i m not sure this is going to go anywhere other than continue things and they need to put this man under oath in another forum. so we re going to have to do it again. let me ask you this. something, elliot, that really kind of tweaked me today. minutes after manafort gets sentenced, new state charges from the manhattan d.a. office in new york, they say they ve been looking at it since 2017. but, boy, does it stink of a political move. how do you see it? right. they need to insulate themselves from the politics, if they wish to have their prosecution taken seriously. now, look, very well might be, they are legitimate charges and minutes after he gets sentenced? but, again, look, the timing of it isn t great. manafort could potentially face state court charges in virginia, illinois, and california. so the idea that these aren t legitimate, you know, we should put that to rest. now the question is the timing
you do what law enforcement officials call deconflict it you don t pile on one charge after another. the timing today makes it look overtly political to announce this minutes after the sentencing is a bad look. i don t even know if it does what the da is hoping it does. there is a strong double jeopardy. it looks like they overlap with what manafort has been dlarjcha with. he may have a strong double jeopardy argument too. do you agree? i agree except for the double j jeopardy argument. each state are separate sovereigns. i believe that s new york law on double jeopardy. so the charges will stand if the elements of the new york charges are different. i agree with you 100%. it looks bad. the timing they released it. it looks like they are saying
