amendment as to those. unless the president pardons him for all potential crimes that he has committed in the past. i also want to add one thing about the juror you re going to have on because i remember right after the trial when she spoke she gave me great hope because she was a trump supporter and she said i was ready to acquit, i wanted to be able to, but the facts mattered. i was convinced that he was guilty by the facts. and that s what i m hoping is going to come out of for example some of the public hearings before congress, is that the american people will see the facts and that they will be persuaded by the facts. so that s something that is very important to me, is how that makes a difference. is that it s not just an opinion about i like a person, i like a president, i want to support him, but it s the facts that matter. and possibly, maybe once he
president. i don t talk about that. i think the whole manafort trial is very sad when you look at what s going on. i think it s a sad day for our country. he worked for me for a very short period of time but he happens to be a very good person and i think it s very sad what they ve done to paul manafort. thank you very much. it was the entire time he was running the campaign. not a short time. trump telling t new york post. why would i take it off the table? and how did they help or hurt the cause of justice and truth? it makes clear that the president has been surrounding
justice and at a minimum highly american taxpayers. and the idea there would be any justification for pardoning someone for that kind of fraud on the american taxpayer is really unthinkable and for a president to dangle pardons in a way that president trump has done and for manafort to be playing for the pardon is a way that undercuts the system of justice and at a minimum highly inappropriate and corrosive. you just gave characterization. and i want to play the tape. this is him in august of last year. i don t talk about that. i think the whole manafort trial is really sad.
i ve always found paul manafort to be a very decent man. he was with the campaign, as you know, for a very short period of time, relatively short period of time, but i ve always known him to be a good man. i think the whole manafort trial is very sad, when you look at what s going on there. i think it s a very sad day for our country. he happens to be a very good person, and i think it s very sad what they ve done to paul manafort. well, the special counsel in a new redacted court filing is describing president trump s former campaign manager, paul manafort, as a hardened criminal who knowingly, repeatedly, and blazenly violated the law. the memo states, given the breadth of manafort s criminal activity, the government has not located a comparable case with the unique array of crimes and aggravating factor.
