Events, lawrence, because manaforts treachery and all the time being a kind of double agent for trump is so improper and so funky that it actually makes the offer of a pardon seem more directly tied to trying to scuttle the investigation of trump himself. in other words, it suggests that manafort was going to great lengths, extra legal lengths, very improper lengths in order to have the possibility of a pardon from the president. and should that pardon eventually it will look more sinter than it...

Ive never seen anything like this. iech ive never seen anything like either one of these developments in a federal case, a cooperating witness sharing information with another party under investigation by the prosecutors that he is cooperating with. >> i feel like im watching an episode of "the americans" where you have a double agent because there i theres no other plan asiexplan manafort and corsi as well that they are cooperating with the prosecutor at the same time as they are cooperating wi...

Cooperate with bob mueller. the new reporting here is that manafort was trying to basically be an apparent double agent and that explains the news you may have heard earlier this week when bob mueller suddenly canceled the plea agreement with manafort. and it gives context to this other story tonight. donald trump telling the "new york post" that pardoning paul manafort is not off the table. those words are farther than donald trump has gone off that topic so far and it would further tie donald ...

So much of this by biography is destiny, these people are who they are. jerome corsi is the guy who was perfectly happy to be known throughout the world as the author of and the chief propagator of, beyond donald trump, the racist conspiracy theory that barack obama was not an american citizen, was born in kenya. this was his -- joyce is right. he doesnt care what he gets attention for. hell get attention for whatever. hes a kooky man who found a way to get famous, he was the author of this nut ...

Questions before he was going to make the plea agreement, why not make it before the trial if you knew you were guilty and get convicted? all of it makes sense through the twisted prism of someone who thought they could play this double agent role if they believed -- he believed in the end there was a pardon at the end of the line. i dont think the kind of relationship exists between jerome corsi and donald trump, anything of that relation exists like donald trump and paul manafort that goes bac...

He doesnt care what he gets attention for. hell get attention for whatever. hes a kooky man who found a way to get famous, he was the author of this nut house theory that brought him to prominence. then you have paul manafort. remember paul manafort, what has he done for the latter part of his career? hes in places like ukraine. hes in places doing dirty deals with crooked politicians, corrupt magistrates, dirty businessmen, russian mob roadsters, all these people. that guy is the guy who thinks...

And so some of these elements here are classic instances of shocking, but not surprising. that paul manafort would think there was a way to game this out and it explains a lot of his behavior, that he went to trial knowing he was guilty of all these -- he knew he was guilty of all the things he was being accused of. he knew the paper trail. he knew he was going to be convicted. why did he go to trial in the first place? why did he spend all that money? there was a whole bunch of questions before...
