enemy and i m joined by glen kershner, federal prosecutor and analyst for us. clint, on the fbi piece, they went in hard this morning. why? i think it s basically because of the rhetoric of roger stone. he s contested the entire time this investigation was a fraud. and if you want to recover evidence as part of a search warrant when you re doing the arrest, and you think there s any sort of jeopardy about that being destroyed, you would go in with a normal knock and announcement we saw this morning. to paraphrase mr. t, you re saying he brought that on himself? sure. compare it to manafort. if you remember back to manafort, they essentially called him, he turned himself in at the courthouse. they went through the proceedings. they did search warrants before that. but they didn t feel the need to do this. when you see an adversarial person like this who says it s a witch-hunt, you can t trust the fbi, you re going to say well, i need to get there and at the same time take him int
board or he holds fast and beats his chest and dies in prison. bob mueller doesn t need him as a cooperator but i suspect he wants him as a cooperator because everything he can bring to the table about donald trump, given their decades-long relationship. yeah. all well put. of course, as i mentioned earlier in our reporting, like anyone, stone is presumed innocent. glen kerrish under and glen, thank you both. i want to tell you breaking news, once the government is back open, it will likely take less than a week for all of the back pay to get to federal workers. something on the minds of many today. they would receive the paycheck then next as regularly scheduled. and that wraps up this hour of breaking news. i want to tell you tonight on the beat we have a very special show. sam nunnburg, a former trump campaign aide who testified in the hearing, including about stone, joins me, i will be joined by get me roger stone director, a big documentary on netflix with a lot to get you
day. he doesn t really want to puke it out, he wants to tell the story. honestly for all of the dirty things he did after now he acknowledged was stupid, blind loyalty to donald trump, i could imagine he feels he wants to puke it out. just at a serious level, if this is witness tampering, which the danger of nonlawyers covering stories, we googled witness tamper and it sure sound like what we found. are there additional legal recourses for him? i m not legal, you would have to ask the counselor over here. but it s very interesting when i was telling my story in the greenroom to glen kershner, he said i would call you as a witness. i said no, thanks. look, let s be serious here, you have sort of been through this with him as his friend. i would be surprised if they didn t want to. people don t always remember i m sure this has been traumatic. i suppose. you re talking about how he
special counsel robert mueller has a busy 2019 in front of him. we start with the month of january. january 7th paul manafort has to decide whether to fight mueller s assessment that he broke his plea agreement or not. michael cohen then goes up to prison on march 6th. a week later status report is due on michael flynn s cooperation with prosecutors. those are just the dates we know about. the big question mark, of course, is when mueller might complete his report and whether he has the goods when it comes to president trump. so we wanted to take an in depth look at two of the key components of the case that it is believed mueller is trying to build. we want to break down what we know already from the public record that would bolster a case for collusion. what we still need to answer this. what will determine whether that case can be made or not? and we also want to look at the obstruction case. what do we know about that as well? for that lets bring in our all-star panel. glen kershne
april 1st through september 30th, $4.568 million. what we have got in the last hour is that the mueller investigation has responded to michael flynn s attorneys in making a sentencing recommendation. they have said that flynn did lie to the fbi but they end this by saying the seriousness of the defendant s offense cannot be called into question, and the court should reject his attempt to minimize it while the circumstances of the interviews do not present mitigating circumstances, assuming the defendant continues to accept responsibility for his actions. his cooperation and military service continue to justify a sentence at the low end of the guideline range. i want to thank my colleagues and friends for supporting our coverage of this, this hour. tom winter, glen kershner and former federal prosecutor elizabeth holtzman, attorney and former u.s. congresswoman who voted to impeach richard nixon, joyce vance. daniel goldman, msnbc s legal
