Platform and that it was only done because the language was too strong and it was untraditional for any party platform. you do not buy it as a rationale? >> i dont think its credible. i think paul manafort is one of the more transactional people on the planet. and the idea that this was done with no quid pro quo seems highly, highly, highly improbable. and because it pushed against, strong, strong republican pressure from folks like john mccain, the previous presidential candidate that we needed...

Dont zedeserve to suffer. >> thats why lindsey grahams proposal is a good one. lets at least reopen it for a period of time and have a serious discussion about the way forward. >> thanks for joining us. still ahead for us, new details into what the special counsel robert mueller knows about the connection between paul manafort and his russian associate that he shared that polling data about the trump campaign with. new filings show the two men were talking, they were in communication before ma...

And one suspects not just special counsel but also some of these cases that have gone out to u.s. attorneys offices. the most interesting tidbit we get is a combination of manaforts poorly redacted pleading and the information from special counsel that says constanten kilimnik, manaforts russian business partner, seems to be a focus of this. we know theres this august timeline where we dont know what the subject of those meetings is for certain but it seemed likely it involved the transfer of po...
