Sh issue. First time they have r had interesting way to take over the magazine. That does it for me. Hardball starts now. Crime and punishment. Lets play hardball. Today Paul Manafort, the president s campaign. Facing years in a u. S. Prison. Whatever you choose to call it, it is past. For a year and a half our country has been contorted into a reality tv show. This is the day we discovered
reality bites. Good evening, i am chris matthews. Heading into round one now. Investigation is underway at a courthouse just across the potomac. He is facing 18 counts of tax evasion and bank fraud. Charges that predate his time on the Trump Campaign. If found guilty, he could get up to ten years in prison. Facing similar charges in Federal Court in washington. Manafort joined the Trump Campaign in march of 2016. Manafort did work overseas. He also had Business Ties with russia. And he took part in that Infamous Trump tower meeting with russians. Where the Trump Campaign was promis promised damaging
News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. Its something that i think the president and his lawyers know, the Special Counsel will be looking at. So interesting. Im really glad that you pointed out the similarity and language there, particularly since there are reports that the Special Counsel is looking at whether tweets can be used as obstruction of justice. Lets look at the trial. Whats happening in the manafort trial as we speak, shimon . Todays really been so two witnesses so far that have testified. One of them, i think, the important witness here, the fbi agent who entered manaforts home. They did a Search Warrant at his home in alexandria, virginia. Theyre talking about some of the documents that they found. And this really goes to the meat of the prosecutions case. These are documents about his loans, bank records, things they found with his name on it. Wire transfers. Goes to the meat, to the heart of the case and the evidence that the fbi has gathered and
News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. Mueller lately. Seems like every ten days or so, this whips back up. You have the manafort trial, as jeff mentioned. I also think he probably doesnt distinguish too much between what mueller is doing and what prosecutors in new york are looking into with cohen. You have that sort of implied threat from cohen over the trump tower meetings. And all this stuff is together. Also at a time when we know his team wants him to focus on what mueller is doing as far as election hacking. We know that trumps team wanted him to try to own this issue, to focus on what we have now, over two dozen russian nationals and companies that have been targeted by mueller. It seems like some real work is being done there to sort of unwind what happened during the 2016 elections, but its hard to for this administration to focus on that or do anything

Michael Smerconish tackles the American political and news stories of the week, offering only one kind of talking points his own. The times, by the way, standing by her hire saying they understood her twitter past and understand it for what it was. We had candid conversations with sarah as part of the thorough vetting process which included a review of her social media history. She understands this rhetoric is not acceptable at the times and we are confident she will be an important voice for the Editorial Board moving forward. Interestingly, the fact that the times already knew about her tweets is significant due to another hire in february, quinn norton. When some of miss nortons old tweets surfaced which included racial slurs and an Internet Troll which works for a neonazi website she ended stepping down that same day.
