Democrats and the "washington post" to essentially go after the president. even up until the time that the articles were voted -- and yes, republicans did vote for the two main articles of impeachment. the majority of republicans in the house judiciary committee voted against it. trent lott who was a congressman on the committee said he saw no direct evidence that nixon -- >> for all the cocktail party chatter how this will go down, when people look back at that era, there were different or bett...

Manaforts fate. if the presidents campaign chairman, paul manafort, is convicted, we should keep in mind that that would probably mean that this particular criminal case against manafort would keep going. paul manafort of course would have the right to appeal if he is convicted. also, and i think its now increasingly important to start keeping this in mind just as a national matter the rule of law because of the nature of this case, because of hoff paul manafort is, because of who he was on the ...

The first row. i will be clear, we know nothing about this moment about what this jury is thinking after all this, we do know what theyre thinking about. 11 days of testimony, financial records and evidence suggesting manafort committed crimes for years. and here is exactly how muellers team closed out their argument for jurors who might think that manafort got kind of the rough deal by stepping into the spotlight of politics and thats how he caught so much heat, they argued, you see it here on ...

Also, rudy giuliani makes a new threat to bob mueller. more on that. later, well also give you new reporting why rudy giuliani has beef with another trump lawyer, michael cohen. as i mentioned, the top story tonight is the day of reckoning for paul manafort. the jury is getting the official instructions from this judge, which means they are literally moments away from getting the case and deliberating on paul manaforts fate. a conviction on all the charges could give trumps cormer campaign m...

That second trial. it is striking that prosecutors from robert muellers office, the special counsels office, they have steered this first manafort case to be much more about the trump campaign than we thought it was going to be at the out set. that may affect the presidents thinking about whether or not he wants to intervene to spring paul manafort by pardoning him. this first criminal trial in the eastern district of virginia had its last witnesses on the stand related to something having to do...

Investigation has got to stop. >> we should now spend our time protecting ourselves instead of having this witch hunt on the president. >> ive been pushing for a year to end this investigation. i thought it was basically corrupt from the very beginning. >> put up or shut up, mueller. >> its all about timing. conway arguing that what you just heard largely does match what many nixon era republicans initially did in reacting to the probe. and they only started to break with nixon after those smoki...

Case from so many other presidential investigations is how the trump world witnesses do speak out in public and they do speak through the television. what do you think stone is doing there in these appearances? >> i think hes just posturing. i think hes just talking tough. you saw it from rudy. we saw it from stone here. theyre coming at stone hard from all angles. you can see that mueller is subpoenaing everyone around stone and you can see why. if you think back to the russian hacker indictmen...

Pretty close. >> pretty much or maybe not. now, this is part of the debate. james comey did testify under oath. donald trump hasnt done that in this case. and he also memorialized it, which adds contemporaneous support, there was a memo the day he met with trump. at that time, he said, quote, i hope you can let this go. and giuliani may be trying to discredit comey who, of course, is a potentially strong witness, but hes also going after mueller as the prosecutor saying if bob mueller doesnt fin...

Announcements. >> you dont do things that would potentially interfere with the election. >> exactly, but you carry on. >> unless youre james comey, and you do. were not going to relive that at this particular moment. jennifer, the other thing that obviously undercuts rudy giulianis claim is that the mueller grand jury is busy and hearing witnesses and weve had some public reporting on that, including people tied to roger stone. hes speaking out, again, about that aspect of it, take a look. >> i ...
