A look at the days top news and headlines. Plausible, innocent explanation although i cant see one here for building all these offshore accounts and funneling money there to escape reporting it to the irs. On the other hand, i dont think the manafort defense is working. His defense is essentially this he is batman, hes blaming robin for all the problems. And thats just not going to work. Dana like the jury is not going to buy that let me ask you a few things that other possible, you know, big shot lobbyists in washington, d. C. Are rethinking some of their own practices at this point. That is a great question, dana. I think one of the things people overlooking is that manafort is not the unusual one in a way. He is unusual in that he tried to hide the money and not report it to the irs. Its not unusual in the way that he is making the money. He, like a lot i think this is partially why trump campaigned against quote, unquote, the swamp. There are lobbyists. A lot of people who just rec
german conglomerate and adapted it to tiny finger stick samples diluted the blood which created problems with accuracy. i think the attorneys for bush fuller eventually realized that was what was happening. i don t think they initially knew. dana: i want to read this one part from your book i say elizabeth was often upbeat entrepreneur optimism. she liked to use the term extraordinary with extra written in italics to describe the theranos mission. you didn t change the world by cynical. if she had misgisks she showed no signs of it that s an excerpt from the book. that s one of the fascinating things about it she was only charged with wire fraud that is only so far. did she actually believe that she was about to save the world or did she know it was a fraud? you know, there s a big difference, i think, between elizabeth holmes and bernie madoff. madoff at some point in 1988 or 87 decided he was going to totally cheat and build a ponzi scheme.

i think elizabeth holmes dropped out of stanford really wanting to pursue this vision of a diagnostic device. and she, her idol was steve jobs. she wanted to follow in his footsteps. she wanted to create another iconic silicon valley company. for the first few years she hired people and they pursued, you know, her vision. i think they ran into set backs. and she papered over those set backs and she kept overpromising to investors. and the lies sort of got bigger and bigger. and eventually she got to 2013 which is when she launched she s fingertip steps in walgreen s stores and at that point the technology didn t work. they did the cheating with the hacking of the se hacking ss machines. dana: then it all fell apart. congratulations on the investigative work. the book and thought book is becoming a movie. that s right. so congratulation to us. we appreciate you coming on today. thanks so much for having
