And actually, we got Paul Manafort news tonight. Mueller is actually making new criminal charges against Paul Manafort this evening on top of Everything Else hes doing. But even on that first day when the criminal charges were unsealed against Paul Manafort, even that day there was already a surprise from Paul Manafort because in addition to the charges against Paul Manafort, hey, who is that guy . Even now months later when we show file footage of this man rick gates, people think were showing file footage of some random clip art model or maybe a cop or body guard. Rick gates, that was the surprise indictment on day one from Robert Mueller in o
Prove this in a court of law, to have that greeted with the president essentially saying, am i in trouble . Its just its almost unbelievable. Am i in trouble yet, actually, is his response. Because this is a limited scope indictment. And, of course, its returned by a grand jury. So these are american citizens who made this judgment that this is what they see in this evidence. Thats exactly right. Thank you, my friend. Thank you, rachel. Thanks. President trump found something that he liked. That he really liked about the witch hunt today. He found something that he believes, something the witch hunters told him today that he really, really likes and believes.

Can americans count on washington to shield them from the worst of humanity . A live picture of the white house, pushing back on 13 indictments by the special counsel in the russia investigation. All these efforts were about sowing confusion in the electoral process and undermining the next president , not about supporting one candidate over the other. And so really when you see these efforts by democrats that pushing this collusion conspiracy, what theyre really doing is doing the dirty work for the russians for them. There is an example of collusion in the last campaign. It just has nothing to do with this president and his campaign. But democrats on capitol hill say the indictments are Proof Positive of efforts by russia and for President Trump to ignore them would raise even more suspicions.
