actually happened? what's all this down here? here's the last important part in this puzzle right now. paul manafort has what we believe is a joint defense agreement with the president of the united states. there's nothing wrong about that. it happens all the time, usually the context is more like a mob trial where people in the interest of their own defense get to share information, including what investigators are saying to one about another so they can get their story straight. the law allows it. rudy giuliani confirmed as much today to "the new york times" saying i've been talking to manafort's lawyers and they've been telling me what the investigators have been asking and it's been very helpful. i'm sure it has. however, why is it in quotes? manafort's lawyer says it's not really a joint defense agreement, whatever, they're talking. here's why it's interesting. the president has submitted his answers to mueller. what if the answers submitted echo a common understanding with paul manafort, a similar story,
