A roundup of the days events. Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. But President Trump telling fox he thinks politics matters in prosecutions. If you look at president obama, he had a Massive Campaign violation, but he had a different attorney general, and they viewed it a lot differently. You know, we have somebody, they seem to like to go after a lot of republicans. Reporter one top republican, now a convicted felon, Paul Manafort, President Trumps former campaign chairman, found guilty by a jury this week of tax crimes and bank fraud. I have Great Respect for what hes done in terms of what hes gone through. Some of the charges they threw against him, every consultant, every lobbyist in washington probably does. Reporter the question now, will the president Pardon Manafort . His Press Secretary says hes never discussed it. Thats not something that has been up for discussion.

having yet seen the charging document myself, my sense is, first of all, sy vance is an experienced and practical district attorney. he s not going to bring these charges if they wouldn t stand up in court. so the elements, the things that you have to prove for these charges are likely different from what you would have to prove in the federal charges, otherwise you would have a double jeopardy problem. but also remember, one of the reasons for bringing these charges is clearly an insurance policy if trump does pardon manafort. and if he were to do that, if trump were to pardon manafort, then i don t believe there would be any double jeopardy issue even if the charges overlap significantly. so i think this is really, you know, it s putting a stopgap in there. i think overall, if we look at everything that s happened just this morning, this is a really good day for justice. you know, judge jackson

they seemed menendez brothers the way they talk. they have the same talking points. i don t want to offend the men endez brothers. they might be going over the same talking points or speaking with each other. they don t have the facts and law on their side and that s what parties do when they re losing. it s a pr battle, not a legal one. you re not psychiatrist but i wunlder how trump goes to bed at night. just when he thinks he s got his guy off this afternoon this morning actually. next comes the manhattan d.a. s office with 16 counts against this guy, manafort. new york times, front page, somewhere near the fold i guess, trump doesn t seem to know he can t pardon manafort in this latest mess of trouble. that s clear laan frt to mock
