Urntds w under way on a friday night. good evening. day 757 of the trump administration and just within these past few hours on a friday night, we have seen a number of major developments with regard to the mueller investigation. tonight, the feds have submitted a sentencing document for trump s former campaign chair paul manafort, who will soon, we say this because it s germane, turn 70 years of age. this would apply only to the case he s facing in virginia where he was found guilty of tax and bank fraud. this sentence would mean he would be in federal prison until the end of his productive life. the sentencing guideline here is a prison term from 19 to 24 years. manafort faces a restitution payment of over $24 million and they suggest manafort forfeit more than 4 million. the sentencing document is 120 ....
More than 4 million. the sentencing document is 120 pages long and has copious amounts of information. if manafort receives a sentence in the recommended range, it would be the harshest handed down thus far. then there s his other case in d.c. and another prison sentence awaiting. the judge in that case ruled he lied to investigators. a violation of his cooperation deal with the feds. there s also news about paul manafort s one time business partner roger stone. today mueller s team filed a document in stone s case rejecting his request for a different judge and in the document, the feds say for the first time they have evidence of roger stone communicating with wikileaks as well as guccifer 2.0. that was the alias used by russian attackers to hack into the dnc, steal the e-mails and ....
Think about individual 1 in the sentencing document from michael cohen in the southern district of new york turned out to be donald trump who directed, and, again, that s the language from the federal prosecutors, a hush money scheme. do you see that there s a person known to them, but not us yet, who possibly directed these actions? i do. i don t think and by the way, i ll happily defer to chuck who knows mueller far more closely than i do, but mueller is not given to creating intrigue, drama, to teasing us and setting a dramatic stage. if he puts in there that a senior official was directed to do something, if he makes references to this throughout various charging documents, he knows there s a person directing this. he s not this isn t conjecture and he likely knows who that is. chuck rosenberg, your name has been evoked. let me ask you to answer that ....
But he s probably got evidence about other things that may not rise to the standard of criminality, but would be grossly inappropriate behavior for someone holding the highest office in the land. for him to come testify to that publicly i think represents a grave threat to the president. that s why you ve seen him and his attorney act the way they have over the past few weeks. corinne, we don t know what crimes mueller has unearthed around occlusion but we do know what crimes were implicated in new york. michael cohen on or about august 16 at the coordination with and direction of trump, i arranged to make a payment to a second individual with information that would be harmful to the candidate and to the campaign to keep the individual from disclosing information. that is a crime. he s been accused of it. the government sponsored that allegation in their sentencing document for cohen. before he heads to jail, which is what, march you? march 5th, i think. ....
Satisfied the special counsel. they come in and say we re not going to recommend we re going to recommend he serve no prison time. everything seems to be going right in the life of michael flynn to the extent the life of michael flynn can go right under the circumstances. he s headed in the right direction. all of a sudden now as frank suggests, he seems to be provoking the special prosecutor. i don t really understand what the game is. people think he s angling for a pardon, but it seems really unwise to be doing these things and seems the special counsel is saying, back off, jack, or you ll get yourself in some kind of trouble more than you re already in. yeah, i don t think he was angling for a pardon here. i think this was a little bit of a miscalculation. the sentencing judge is known as a bit of a wild card. in their sentencing document, flynn s lawyers were trying to give the judge plenty of reason to differentiate their client from others who pleaded guilty to 1,001, faking ....
