Plain sight the way it is? >> look, they used to say in the middle east, if you are an intellectual -- this is a thing jamal used to tell me. if youre an intellectual, you cease to be in the middle east or you cease to be an intellectual. they made sure journalists who lived in washington cease to exist, the saudi regime, sending a message to all of us, you will be -- we will come after you regardless. and the fact that the president is covering up this hideous crime and jared kushner is -- brag...

Always a close statewide campaigns are always very close here. so well see. i would suspect both parties will sweep these races. >> could irto make a prediction then? you want to give us names? >> i would point to trend lines. public polls had some difficulties here in the primaries. a lot can change. the storm has changed everything. >> all right. well, that was a safe answer and understandable. thank you so much for that, matt. >> thank you. at the top of the hour, this new article from "new...

That provide evidence that jamal khashoggi was killed inside. nbc has not heard or seen the tapes yet, but this comes after "the washington post" reported, excuse me. that the turkish government says it has audio and video recordings. and thats according to u.s. and turkish officials that say the recordings show that a saudi security team showed khashoggi into the consulate and killed and dismembered his body. the news continues to upend the administrations strategic alliance with saudi arabia. ...

They werent looking for that in the first place. youre right, joe. youre right. >> no, theyre looking for funding for their projects. >> exactly. >> whether its trump hotels, whether its kushner properties, whether its trump properties. >> yeah. >> we have said this from the beginning. donald trump did not expect to be elected president. he is using his position to leverage it as much as he can to make as much cash. gene, thats why. its not amateur hour. they dont give a -- about how much mope a...

Really ever been. and i think it will probably only get better. >> is that just about politics? no. trump has financial reasons for being a big fan of the saudis. back in 1995, he sold new yorks plaza hotel to a group that included a saudi prince. that deal helped keep trump from defaulting on his loans, that and money he had from his father. he even bragged about that relationship at one of his rallies. listen to this. >> saudi arabia and i get along great with all of them. they buy apartments ...

That manafort was convicted on his previous charges in the courtroom in alexandria where the president says hes a good man. a few days later he says hes not going to break. to see this development in the past few weeks has been, you know, fascinating to watch. and i think that, look, we dont know what mueller will ask or what direction he will go. as we pointed out, paul manafort was there at the most critical points of the campaign. he was with him about five months, three months as the campaig...

But for the white house to turn around and its a little bit of a disconnect, they say today -- it would be okay to say, just today, todays plea has nothing to do with the campaign chronology period. but its then a leap of faith to say the cooperation has nothing to do with it because we dont know where the cooperation might go and its not limited to what happened in court yesterday. >> so manafort was the campaign chair during the wikileaks dumps of team clinton e-mails. we know he participated ...

Will continue to do that. you dont get off the way he got off on a lot of these charges without having a lot to say. so nobody knows exactly what hes telling bob mueller because the mueller machine, which is rolling on, is not a leaking operation. but theres a lot there that should worry kushner, should worry don jr. and should worry the president. obviously this is going to play out over a period of time in which he gives a lot of information to prosecutors that could be very damaging to the wh...

Only information about him being the president of the united states, but his son, donald trump, jared kushner, this is getting so close to him that who knows what could happen. i think we have to be prepared for a lot of things, and its concerning. but mueller is moving forward methodically. >> yeah. the three people in that meeting, elliott, from the trump representing the trump folks is paul manafort, jared kushner, and don jr., the presidents son and son-in-law. one of the reasons not coopera...

Elie, what jumped out at you? >> the most important thing we saw in the documents is this is all or nothing. thats the way federal cooperation works. i have experience in state system. sometimes in state system cooperation can be selective. in federal, its everything. >> meaning what? >> manafort has to come in and tell the prosecutors everything he knows about what he did and everything he knows about what everybody else did from the lowest ranking person all the way up to don jr. all the way u...
