The least. you have to look at this not from manaforts perspective but from gatess perspective. if you read these indictments, the case is overwhelming. its not a difficult case to prove in court. its a hard case to investigate, but not a hard case to prove in court. so gates had to make a racial choi -- rational choice. and he gets the chance, knots the promise, but the chance to stay out of jail. so that manafort would make a statement like that for him making a decision about his own future, ...

This indictment. >> back now with the panel. is there any way to interpret this other than robert mueller ratcheting up the pressure to spill everything they know in exchange for a plea deal? >> its a spectacular amount of pressure. the most interesting thing is the dog that didnt bark. the president hasnt said anything. whens the last time we have said that sentence? donald trump has been silent about the manafort case. very smart. hes listening to you. discipline. a word you dont use with him....

The manafort case. very smart. hes probably listening to you. >> he said discipline. >> thats a word we dont use. if he praises and defends m manafort will say hes setting him up for pardon. if he attacks him, you might flip him. hes got to be silent. this is the only time ive seen donald trump be this discipline and silent. good for him. >> is that how you see this? >> no. we are where we are. >> i was praising him for inves. we know that people have been looking into carter page since 2014. th...

Its a hard case to investigate, but not a hard case to prove in court. and so gates had to make a rational choice. he did. what he gets out of it is some finality and the chance, not the promise, but the chance to stay out of jail. and so the notion that manafort would take a shot at him for making a rational choice about his own, gatess own future seems kind of silly and desperate. its an odd statement to say the least. >> is it an irrational question to wonder if manafort has been assured thro...

I wouldnt necessarily draw a straight line from sam nunberg and jim comey, for instance, to rick gates and paul manafort. what weve seen from the special counsel as the submarine surfaces from time to time, is that there are many different aspects to the case. i imagine that continues to be true today. >> and let me ask you, larry lit man, you wrote a piece before todays guilty plea about muellers momentum and you wrote, theres greater cause for hope this week than last that the full contours of...
