Absurd. Back in january, he went to the grand jury and in those two and have daisies at the president committed a crime. Hes going to sit there for the next six months working for the president who committed a crime . Its absurd. Dana john roberts is on the north lawn, john . Good afternoon to you. The president and his attorneys knew full well that don mcgann was going to cooperate with special prosecutor Robert Mueller in his investigation. In fact the whole idea for cooperation was hatched by the president s attorney at the time. Initially, mcgann had been very reluctant to cooperate with mueller. His job as he thought was to protect the presidency and cooperating with mueller may set president for a future white houses. But doubt in cobbs thought that access to white house personnel including mcgann would avoid subpoenas from mueller and bring us books which are conclusion to the special counsel investigation. Listen to what Rudy Giuliani said about that yesterday. They allowed 32 witnesses to testify and turned over 1. 4 million documents. And in fact, i would think john dowd would tell you with an agreement with bob mueller that it would be concluded quickly. If i had known the outcome, that mueller had not concluded quickly and it was amended attempt in good faith to try to work at the resolution, i might have chosen a different strategy and im pretty sure he would have. The other big issue with the white house, the revocation of security clearances. President trump this morning fairly daring the former cia director john brennan to sue him to try to get his security clearance back. Brennan had suggested yesterday that he might do that, the president tweeting, i hope john brennan, there were cia director in the countrys history brings a lawsuit. It will then be very easy to get all of his records, texts, documents and emails to show not only the poor job he did but how he was involved with the mueller rigged witch hunt. He wont sue. Brennan has been one of his most outspoken critics, recently saying that the summit was nothing but treasonous. He defends his visceral criticism of the president , insisting hes not being political. These are abnormal times and i think a lot of people have spoken out against what mr. Trump has done. It might be my morning training as an intelligence professional, i seen the lights blinking red in terms of what mr. Trump has done and is doing and is bringing this country down on the global stage and hes fueling and feeding dv sicknesss in the country. Theres plenty of critics, but even among those people, some including admiral mike mullen are suggesting that brennans outspokenness is hurting the Intelligence Community and they dont think he should do it. Dana john roberts, good to see you again. Jury is still deliberating on the Paul Manafort trial is the judge orders the names of jurors to remain sealed because of threats. Peter doocy is outside federal court in alexandria, virginia. Thats right. The judge that again today that the names of the jurors are going to remain under seal and you want to remind of the court that on friday, he rolled against a bunch of news outlets including the ap and the New York Times and cnn who filed a motion to intervene, seeking the names of the jurors and transcripts from bench conferences be released before a verdict comes down. Ellis said not only with that subject jurors to threats like hes received during the trial but he said jurors would be scared and afraid to serve on juries in highprofile cases like this if they knew going in at their i. D. Would not stay a secret. Its not clear how much of this the jury is aware of though as a judge makes these rulings relating to their safety before or after they enter and that jury is not supposed to do any research or reading on the case outside of court. History has been delivering for more than 18 hours now. Our team inside the court room that laid eyes on the six men and six women of the jury revealed that at least two of them seem stressed or preoccupied. One other note from their brief appearance, they sat in different chairs than they sat in for the first two weeks of the proceedings. Nobody knows what that means. The main fort defense Team Continues to express their beliefs that long deliberations are better for their side. A source close to the defense team said to them, it feels like the 2016 Election Campaign when many experts and watchers thought the result was going to be a foregone conclusion but they want of being surprised when they got to the end and there was a different result. We want to thank you. Joining me now, michael moore, former u. S. Attorney for the middle district of georgia. Youve been in the courtroom as a prosecutor. Everyone is trying to read the tea leaves here, the jurors are reading in different seats. A couple of them looked stressed and somewhat happy, even read a note that one juror scratched his face. Are they reading into it . They are reading far too much into it. It was a complex case and there was plenty of evidence and a number of charges but most people in the jury are not tax encounters or lawyers and they are going through the indictment and trying to match of the evidence they heard. I think looking at facial expressions or frustration, its never fun to have just sit in there and you are locked in a room, but this is really not at all an inordinate amount of time for people to deliberate. Dana i want to ask you about that because the defense is encouraged that deliberations have gone on this long, that every day or hour that it goes on, its better for their client, Paul Manafort. Is that generally the case . My general experience is if you have a very quick verdict, that can be bad for the defendant. Im not sure the long delay is good for a defendant. There is a lot of evidence in this case, there is overwhelming proof that men manafort was moving money around. If he was sitting in his ostrich jacket bemoaning his finances, i think thats not common sense. You may have some jurors and their wrestling with the decision or with the particular accounts about what the proof was on a particular account and they may debate those now, but if you think about the fact that theyve been there about 18 hours, thats about an hour per account. You do that and you still have to have bathroom breaks and lunch and that type of thing. Its really not that long, i think his team may be putting a little too much emphasis on it. Sometimes lawyers do that. Dana ive heard that lawyers do that. Let me take another topic. Don began, the president S White House counsel had given, with the president s full permission, an opportunity to be interviewed by a mueller for about 30 hours total. Telling him things like, being able to describe the president s fury toward the russian investigation, and mcgann apparently said that trump attempted to fire mueller but he also cautioned that he never saw trump go beyond his legal authorities, which are murky. The wall street Journal Editorial Board wrote this. The bottom line is that readers should remain skeptical about what is reported about mr. Muellers probe and wait to see the evidence actually produces. But when you talked about don mcgann going in and the president did not try to assert any executive privilege, what did you think . You know the white House Counsel as counsel for the office of the president , and i wasnt surprised to see there would be some cooperation, nor was i surprised to see that mcgann would want to talk to them. He would want to be the one ring out to dry so he wanted to make sure the record was clear in that regard. Also, and i read it about the same time i did some information where the president had referred to john dean as a rat. I said before, rats jump off of a sinking ship, and that is you may have some people who were close to the president who are feeling the need to make sure they are not ultimately settled with some of the decisions and actions that have come from the administration. So that being the case, i think its normal for muellers Interview Team to go back a number of times and talk to a witness. I also thought it was interesting that the executive privilege itself was not waived. We seen that asserted at various points both in congressional hearings, but i thought it was interesting at that point the executive privilege was not waived. Dana bill burke, who was don mcganns lawyer worked as a white House Counsel and ask the president s lawyers a couple times, are you sure you dont want to assert any privilege here . Almost hinting they may want to rethink that. Now Rudy Giuliani basically inherits the original teams approach to the case. Rudy giuliani has tried to make it look like it seamless and they are all on board and everything is fine, do you think that will hold . I think at this point, there was a little bit of it in a statement that giuliani made, i might have done something different. But if hes in a situation where things go south, he will blame the former lawyers. If things go well he will say, it went well because i continue down this path and it was my perseverance as his great lawye lawyer. I dont know that his legal strategy moving forward has been as effective as may be his p. R. Strategy has been as he has tried to sort of shift the discussion and the debate on whats going on. Dana it one last question, the president has been very vocal calling the Mueller Investigation a rigged witch hunt. Aside from a few of the stories that pop up, we dont actually hear from mueller, he hasnt spoken to the public in a year and a half. Theres all this public p. R. , doesnt have any effect on what mueller is doing . Absolutely not. Remember mueller is a soldier by profession, and he actually was asked to go to vietnam and try to wait out an injury. Hes following his policy. Prosecutors dont come out and are instructed under doj headlines to come out and talk about the investigation, and hes doing exactly what he ought to do. I think he feels absolutely no pressure from the noise thats being made, from the trump team. But by same token dana well maybe not on twitter. The danger for the trump team coming out talking about this stuff, about it being a witch hunt and Paul Manafort and all the stuff, it can impact jurors or it could be messages sent to other witnesses. I think thats the danger, we dont let the process take its natural course. It seems like its been a very long time but in reality if you judge it against other investigations, this has not been a long investigation at all and has actually returned some significant charges and confirm some of the initial thoughts about Intelligence Community is. Dana this new cycle every day, feels like seven. Michael moore, thanks for being here. We are keeping an eye on the white house were Trump Officials are putting the spotlight on immigration.

Dana Monmouth University released a bunch of new poles covering everything from the Trump White House to them in four trials to voter views on several pressing issues. Joining me, chris stillwell. We have a new poll from monmouth, which is interesting because it was last taken in june. So we have the summer time to look through. One of the questions was about Paul Manafort and of the trial. And this may not be that big of a surprise to you, but you tell me that 75 said they had heard about them in a fort trial and 25 said they had not. The second question was about the charges against speed of manafort, and 29 said evidenced what really caught my eye was tt 42 said probably a little bit of both. Your thoughts . There is probably truth and that realization. Paul manafort im sure would have ended up facing prosecution for these alleged crimes, and the other batch of charges hes facing in the district of columbia. The hard rain was going to fall at some point sooner or later on Paul Manafort from the Justice Department, but no doubt the fact that he went from kind of a golden oldie, guy in washington who everybody knew delved in some fairly unpleasant circles who was sort of a throwback from the nixonreagan era, then you have this guy. I doubt if he hadnt been in such a prominent position as leading the president ial campaign of the republican nominee and eventual president of the United States, im sure that made it worse for him because prosecutors always care about the message and they always care about what people are taking away from this. If you are in a position of more power and more authority, its going to get harder. Dana let me ask you about Something Else, theres something i thought was harder for President Trump that probably was in his opinion, good. But i was apprised of that still come up the tax reform bill that republicans point to over and over again that is helping get us to this point, this roaring economy right now, still only 37 approve and 45 disapprove. Thats a slight improvement for the president ridge is 34 approved in june, but still thats nothing to write home about. There is this though, thats kind of a reflection of partisanship. If you look at who is undecided in that poll and people who are not sure what to think about the tax law, if you take them out, now we are looking at basically a broad reflection of partisanship in the country and there are a lot of democrats that if the republican tax plan had produced an end to hunger, want, need need to every amerin the world, they would still say that even if it took candy away from every baby in the country. Dana 38 say tariffs in the economy, down 2 from june. Only 20 say it would help, but thats up 3 from june. If the president keeps at this, the consequences were down from the terrace and how severe they were. Its already happening in some districts, but it hasnt happened in the large sense yet because ive been able to stave off total disaster. I would submit though, as long as the calf, catastrophe stays at bay, just as long as he has against the Justice Department and others, he will bring more publicans over time and that change will take place over tim time. Dana and the economy is doing extremely well. And its an increase in personal income and the 1. 3 drop in the unemployment rate. He promised to end the democrats war on coal and he has delivered. As a result of strong progroup policies, the Mountain State led the nation and adding more than 1300 coal mining jobs and thats more than any of the other states combined. With the second largest number of job gains. So clearly, hes going to talk about this tomorrow night. You are from the Mountain State, how will he be able to try to help the republican they are against joe manchin . Well, we will see. Certainly, an increased number of coal jobs a good talking point. He says, yes, and i support the president and his efforts. I have a track record for having opposed democrats, and remember joe manchin when he was running for senate, he shot the obama legislation, hes been there on this point. He said, i was with you all along. You might also say that about Brett Kavanaugh, the president Supreme Court nominee. I bet you he well. Be sure to tune into the Daily Briefing tomorrow, we will have the First National interview with Andrew Wheeler since he became active epa administrator. As a wall street journal reports, the president is expected to announce a rollback of restrictions on a coal burning power plants. Imagine never meeting her parents until well into your adult life .
