RUSH TRANSCRIPT Manafort finding ░░░░░░░░ home raided and his ░░░░░░░░ trying to spare him ░░░░░░░░ and any risk of ░░░░░░░░ Glen how might investigators ░░░░░░░░ at the way these ░░░░░░░░ men linked up and ░░░░░░░░ we ve learned from ░░░░░░░░ reporting here With what ░░░░░░░░ have to view this ░░░░░░░░ is the prism we ░░░░░░░░ seen the last couple ░░░░░░░░ We know that Bob ░░░░░░░░ has sifted through tens ░░░░░░░░ thousands of Paul Manafort ░░░░░░░░ mails He reportedly offered ░░░░░░░░ Russian oligarch weekly briefings ░░░░░░░░ what the Trump campaign ░░░░░░░░ up to So it ░░░░░░░░ clear that he was ░░░░░░░░ both of his businesses ░░░░░░░░ is less clear and ░░░░░░░░ were his motivations Nefarious ░░░░░░░░ Just relatively innocent It ░░░░░░░░ impossible to tell from ░░░░░░░░ info out there what ░░░░░░░░ motivations were of the ░░░░░░░░ much is clear Pea ░░░░░░░░ the time on the ░░░░░░░░ wondered why this guy ░░░░░░░░ hanging around Why he ░░░░░░░░ have pulled himself into ░░░░░░░░ politics to jump on ░░░░░░░░ campaign of someone who ░░░░░░░░ certain to lose And ░░░░░░░░ Barrett is a long ░░░░░░░░ friend of the president ░░░░░░░░ Chairman of the inaugural ░░░░░░░░ somebody to whom the ░░░░░░░░ speaks to He also ░░░░░░░░ to be fairly close ░░░░░░░░ Ivanka Trump and Jared ░░░░░░░░ And this letter it ░░░░░░░░ test you how it ░░░░░░░░ Barrack got it from ░░░░░░░░ and barrack handed it ░░░░░░░░ vaurng how hand to ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump who liked ░░░░░░░░ he saw And my ░░░░░░░░ at the time I ░░░░░░░░ that story told me ░░░░░░░░ was especially impressed by ░░░░░░░░ factors That Manafort wanted ░░░░░░░░ work for free Trump ░░░░░░░░ it when people work ░░░░░░░░ free And that Manafort ░░░░░░░░ already given him money ░░░░░░░░ the form of purchasing ░░░░░░░░ co op in Trump ░░░░░░░░ So Manafort rang all ░░░░░░░░ Trump s bells So ░░░░░░░░ a relationship was born ░░░░░░░░ makes the point the ░░░░░░░░ was not coming in ░░░░░░░░ the campaign and there ░░░░░░░░ mixing Is that an ░░░░░░░░ When does mifing become ░░░░░░░░ When does it become ░░░░░░░░ With it was a ░░░░░░░░ interesting read And I ░░░░░░░░ Mueller s take would ░░░░░░░░ a look at with ░░░░░░░░ great interest I think ░░░░░░░░ could put this in ░░░░░░░░ of the recent revelation ░░░░░░░░ heard That there were ░░░░░░░░ mails that Manafort sent ░░░░░░░░ trying appeared to be ░░░░░░░░ access to a Russian ░░░░░░░░ You wonder when somebody ░░░░░░░░ willing to do something ░░░░░░░░ free what do they ░░░░░░░░ out of it It ░░░░░░░░ not a crime in ░░░░░░░░ of it seven It ░░░░░░░░ a little bit of ░░░░░░░░ could that a complicated ░░░░░░░░ If he is concealing ░░░░░░░░ he s doing with ░░░░░░░░ Trump campaign that could ░░░░░░░░ a crime If he ░░░░░░░░ getting income that he ░░░░░░░░ not reporting in his ░░░░░░░░ returns and we found ░░░░░░░░ eight there was further ░░░░░░░░ that confirmed what we ░░░░░░░░ That Mueller was working ░░░░░░░░ IRS to get tax ░░░░░░░░ If he was not ░░░░░░░░ the info on his ░░░░░░░░ return that could get ░░░░░░░░ in trouble I think ░░░░░░░░ issue for Manafort is ░░░░░░░░ you are hiding activities ░░░░░░░░ re doing with foreign ░░░░░░░░ or people tied to ░░░░░░░░ governments it is a ░░░░░░░░ explosive thing that ultimately ░░░░░░░░ jury wouldn t like ░░░░░░░░ a judge wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ at sentencing What it ░░░░░░░░ is the question of ░░░░░░░░ The biggest thing is ░░░░░░░░ Whether Trump knew or ░░░░░░░░ to know that and ░░░░░░░░ he reacted to it ░░░░░░░░ the best theory of ░░░░░░░░ case that he was ░░░░░░░░ of the loop Sometime ░░░░░░░░ show clips about inconsistencies ░░░░░░░░ times theory of the ░░░░░░░░ would be when he ░░░░░░░░ he dingsed himself That ░░░░░░░░ what you re supposed ░░░░░░░░ do Distance yourself Paul ░░░░░░░░ has done an amazing ░░░░░░░░ Here s Paul Paul ░░░░░░░░ Oh good You made ░░░░░░░░ Paul Manafort has done ░░░░░░░░ Manafort was replaced long ░░░░░░░░ the election took place ░░░░░░░░ was only there a ░░░░░░░░ period of time It ░░░░░░░░ fast Glen from vital ░░░░░░░░ who is that guy ░░░░░░░░ was here for a ░░░░░░░░ Does your reporting shed ░░░░░░░░ light on whether Donald ░░░░░░░░ came to learn more ░░░░░░░░ part or really knew ░░░░░░░░ whole time I don ░░░░░░░░ think I think clear ░░░░░░░░ issue now is it ░░░░░░░░ often done through intermediaries ░░░░░░░░ drifts in and out ░░░░░░░░ meetings He deals with ░░░░░░░░ vaguories of these things ░░░░░░░░ was brought on to ░░░░░░░░ with the issues of ░░░░░░░░ convention which were not ░░░░░░░░ issues at the time ░░░░░░░░ was facing an insurrection ░░░░░░░░ saw that pretty graphically ░░░░░░░░ Ted Cruz refusing to ░░░░░░░░ him during the election ░░░░░░░░ my sense of this ░░░░░░░░ Trump may have been ░░░░░░░░ little more distant than ░░░░░░░░ in his family who ░░░░░░░░ with Manafort directly The ░░░░░░░░ element of truth when ░░░░░░░░ watch those clips and ░░░░░░░░ are astounding We ve ░░░░░░░░ it over and over ░░░░░░░░ Which version of those ░░░░░░░░ is true Was Trump ░░░░░░░░ the truth when he ░░░░░░░░ lavishing praise on Manafort ░░░░░░░░ was he telling the ░░░░░░░░ when he said he ░░░░░░░░ t know him very ░░░░░░░░ The answer to that ░░░░░░░░ is the one that ░░░░░░░░ the story in this ░░░░░░░░ Your reporting and your ░░░░░░░░ will thank you very ░░░░░░░░
