Been disparaging competitors of boeing and so its raised some ethical issues whether or not shanahan somehow was pushing the pentagon to purchase boeing products and now the inspector general feels theres enough information here, they received enough complaints where they have decided theyre going to launch an investigation. shanahan has said that hes cooperating and he welcomes the investigation. there are certain measures in place at the pentagon to make sure there is no conflict, but nonethel...

Donald trump presidency because, oh, by the way, theres also a crisis in venezuela that he has to deal with? >> often you dont know if something is a turning point until its happened but the presidents challenge is that he wants whatever happens in hanoi to distract from what mr. cohen will say. one of the things that happened in the watergate period was that the american people heard testimony for months about the misconduct of the nixon administration well before the impeachment process began....

Has to be careful not to rush some kind of symbolic agreement with the north koreans in order just to distract from his political problems at home. in 1998, bill clinton was attacked, i believe wrongly, for wagging the dog. for trying to distract from the monica lewinsky case by going after bin laden. he was absolutely right to, people just didnt understand what a threat he was. they felt he was using it fo distract. they were wrong in 98 but they could be right in 2019. >> maybe not this week, ...

>> as long as it takes. to get to the truth. >> and in terms of any possible prosecution, for the president or mueller to find malfeasance. he believes a sitting president can be indicted. is he right? >> so even if he were indicted i always hesitate to disagree with my friend neil. i dont think he a sitting president can be forced to stand trial. against his will. there might be a thing called a tolling. of the statute of limitations. so an indictment is filed. it would typically be a state cas...

Fbi or muellers team are embarrassed about the way they conducted themselves. theyre putting all of this out there and basically saying, here you go. you can see how it was done. you can see how this guy should have known better than lying to investigators. >> and these documents are fascinating. friday night, you have a little time, you might want to kick back and read them. because its really an interesting look. sara murray, shimon, thank you so much. president trumps former fixer and perso...

And/or muellers office sat with cohen for many hours. they have heard what he has to say and been able to vet it. you can never fully corroborate it. but if you want an example of this going the opposite direction, look at manafort. they looked at what he told them and concluded this is not true or something we can bank on. that cooperation blew up. this is the other scenario. we have been through the process with cohen. they backed up what he has to say. theyre confident to go in and sign him u...

Nobody knows where this is headed or where its at except for mueller and the people on his many team. you know, for whatever reason papadopoulos and his lawyers trying to go to the judge at the 11th hour and derail this prison time. people have tried from so much to sort of create barriers or obstacles for robert mueller, and think point the report is going to come. youll see what hes found and the chips will fall where they may, but everything between now and then feels a lot like theatrics. >>...

Et cetera, someone who should know better, you dont talk to russians in the middle of a campaign and you certainly dont bring them into trump tower when your nominee is named trump. >> that counts for something and to see a shift like this certainly suggests that mr. manafort is concerned about minimizing his exposure to any more potential time and willing to share what he knows. again, we dont know what that means. its not good for the president. we dont know what it means for the president. >>...

House, saying he didnt think there was collusion from two years of reporting that he had done. it does seem to me that theyre getting manaforts cooperation but its probably not about collusion with russia. its about some other crime surrounding trump. so that should be interesting and it will be interesting to see the truch white houses reaction as muellers probe proceeds. >> as the white house says, it has nothing to do with the president. again, theres nothing in the official record that impli...

2016 campaign but he could not be more wrong when he labels the mueller investigation as a witch hunt. the fourth aide to plead guilty. he had russian ties when he joined the campaign. if anyone on team trump was aware of the russian election interference, manafort would likely know. the platform language on russia was softened and at the infamous trump tower meeting arranged by donald trump jr. after promised by russians to deliver dirt on hillary clinton. >> the jig is up. this nonsense that t...
