Years, that s what mueller recommended. manafort did himself a large disservice by failing to cooperate with mueller and lying to mueller purposely which led to the breakdown in the plea agreement. do you think that hurts mueller s case, because paul manafort was supposed to be a cooperator? a part of him building whatever case he may be building? it appears perhaps to be the case that that is a blow to mueller. remember, andrew wiseman, the prosecutor in this case said that the lies that mueller made that manafort made to mueller that lead to the breakdown of their agreement, were central to his investigation. so there s something that they want from manafort, which they think is central to their investigation, which they re not getting, we don t know if they can get that from alternative means that may be harder to get it, they can still get it, or whether manafort is the only person who knows it, and when he
that remains many questions on whether the public. no question. whether congress will get the full mueller report when it s all wrapped up, william bar is now overseeing the special counsel investigation. read this with me, there s a tweet from the head of the american conservative union, his wife serves on the white house communications team. and this caught my eye. he wrote on thursday, tomorrow will be the first day that president trump will have a fully operational confirmed attorney general. let that sink in. mueller will be gone soon. do you see the mueller investigation going anywhere? or changing tempo even as a result of william bar becoming attorney general? that s difficult for me to say. i would hope that incoming attorney general barr will allow director mueller to continue his investigation and wrap up his investigation. i would be deeply saddened if he
Fails to cooperate, it really hurts mueller s case. one of the things the judge said manafort lied about intentionally was about his contacts with konstantin kilimnik, a russian who prosecutors say has ties to russian intelligence. what do you see as possible motivation for manafort to lie about this? it s hard to figure out why manafort lied at all, given that he s now going to face 19 to 24 years in virginia, and he ll get a sentence of about 10 years in d.c. so he s facing life in prison. the only thing that comes to mind is either one, what he knows is so dangerous, he feels is so dangerous, they d rather die in prison than be killed by russians or ukrainians, or that he has something that he knows the president knows, and that as long as he keeps quiet, it may result in a pardon for him. or three, which is maybe the most logical theory, is that he s just pathological.
Take the fifth because i don t want to tell the real story. the question here is not whether people lied. it s about contacts with the russians. if they weren t significant, why does everybody lie? i think, yes, it is about context with the russians, that s what mueller is investigating, whether there was collusion but i think it matters that donald trump lied if you believe what investigators have laid out in all these documents when he was a kacandidate, he s koblted to lie to the american people when he was in the white house. and one of the questions that springs to mind is why? donald trump may still have won even if there were women that they had paid off, even if the american public knew he was working on this project in moscow. he may still have won. but you are left with this picture that donald trump and all of the people he surrounds himself with are willing to do whatever it takes to get power and then to stay in power. pamela brown, what do you think? how s the white h
People around him, but it isn t inconceivable that some information could have leaked out. remember in june 12th, 2016, he announced publicly that he had e-mails damaging to hillary clinton. right. so everybody knew that. it s the details about timing and john podesta s e-mails, that s what mueller s going after. all right. anna shek tchecter, you ve had couple of interesting weeks with mr. corsi. it s been very interesting. may you live in interesting times. thank you very much. thanks. panel, you re sticking around. up ahead, president trump s political appointees are all the best people, until he appoints them, then he decides they re not. medicare is great, but it doesn t cover everything - only about 80% of your part b medicare costs, which means you may have to pay for the rest. that s where medicare supplement insurance comes in: to help pay for some of what medicare doesn t. learn how an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan,
