Tonight. The president is at maralago for the 29th time at president , 175th day there as president. In washington, a fairly explosive day at the usually quiet Justice Department. A second straight day of completely mixed signals, including what appears to be a slow Rolling Campaign to seize increasing amounts of control over politically charged cases. They are numerous. The New York Times was the first to report that trumps ag bill barr has tapped and outside prosecutor to, quote, scrutinize the criminal case against President Trumps former National Security adviser michael flynn.

Prosecuted. At this moment they are getting rich on television. Meanwhile for the crime of sending explicit sexual photos to a child, the serious felony, former congressman Anthony Weiner got just 21 months and he served less. Wiener has an admitted sex offender but he was also a close personal friend of bill and Hillary Clintons. And in the end thats what mattered most. See how this works . Prosecutors want roger stone to serve nine years not because he hurt someone or hurt this country. He didnt. But because they hate him. As status liberals they hate his politics. But, above all, they hate his attitude. Stone made fun of the ruling class. Thats not allowed, and they never forgot it. They are trying to kill him for it. How unscrupulous are they in pursuit of that goal . Prosecutors lied about what stone did. They linked him to foreign election interference. When he had no tie to that and it had nothing to do with the charges against him. Not one thing. Then, apparently, they deceived

Now new reporting that u. S. Pilots sounded the alarm on the planes manual calling it quote almost criminally insufficient. And growing bipartisan calls to get those planes out of u. S. Airspace.

The fallout after federal prosecutors bust the biggest case of College Admissions fraud they have ever handled. It wasnt just hollywood stars who got caught. Dozens and dozens of wealthy parents stand accused of trying to trig system. Many rich people in america are no longer satisfied with the kind of generalized rigging of america for rich people. There is this class of people who wants kind of Bottle Service rigging. It is a whole other level. All right. We will begin with judgment day for Paul Manafort, the formal Campaign Chairman facing a final round of sentencing in minutes. How much time will he get this t
