Application. we know that gun ended up in a dumpster and we know that he mentions the big guy, his father a lot. and hes implicated all overot that laptop. and not a finger has been lifted in this case. so this certainly is a two tiered justice system and that should be the pointam that americans take away from this. they dont treatt democrats the way they treat conservatives, period. peter navarro, thank youri for telling our story. we wanted to give you a chance to respond. we appreciate it. a...

Ned price, senior director at the national security advise under tt obama is back with us. ned, your reaction to the many developments in the last 30 minutes or so weve heard from president trump the trail as well. >> as we listen to president trump respond to this story, we have to keep in mind his playbook. he reportedly labels partisan democrats, even who questions his carelessness and lawlessness. remember mueller and his 17 angry democrats? when he and jim mattis were on the outs, he even c...

Two and three. what the scope of the report is. why are those in thes youre thinking of? >> first all of remember muellers mandate is a kri78inal mandate and possibly aspect oz of counterintelligence. a whole variety of things that have come out in the course of the investigation and other vezs. arent necessarily criminal. trump saying ive got no business deals in russia. we know that isnt true. but gosh darn it, its a a pretty significant thing the american people need to know about. so when we...

Trial, which did happen for him in one of his cases. he got off pretty easily. if you look at people who extensively cooperate and are charged with the same that manafort was charged to or plead guilty, he really did quite well. it is complicated and nuance and i am sorry to say that. remember muellers team make clear what they wanted and well see what they get from judge jackson. >> jeremy bash, i have to introduce some evidence on this conversation on an entirely different topic and an unpleas...

>> i would say that they probably were, it is possible from their pleadings of what they were seeking and with judge jackson with the district court and washington, d.c., it may be different, i would urge people to look at a washington post story published today. ill urge you to look at that. it says essentially with light cases, very similar cases that manafort actually got hit pretty hard with four years. now, if you look at people who are charged and convicted at trial, which did happen for h...
