andrew weissmann has a reputation for being one of the most ethical prosecutors in the country.s been rebuked many times. remember andrew weissman showed up at hillary clinton's victory party on election night. he sent sally yates an e-mail saying, bravo, for violating an order of the president of the united states when she refused to enforce the travel ban. >> sean: it's a disgrace. >> that tells you why mueller's team is compromised, conflicted, ethically, in every conceivable way and it is a disgrace that bob mueller hired no republicans and all democrats who are clintonistas. >> sean: think you both. powerful testimony from both of you. we will follow it closely. when we come back, my exclusive interview with homeland security secretary, kirstjen nielsen. what the destroy-trump-media doesn't want you to know about the border. next. my name is jeff sheldon, and i'm the founder of ugmonk. before shipstation it was crazy. it's great when you see a hundred orders come in, a hundred orders come in, but then you realize i've got a hundred orders i have to ship out. shipstation s

a source also said manafort's defense team has singled out andrew weissmann, alleging he pressured manafort, answering the same questions repeatedly looking for different answers. he stepped away from the prosecution after it was revealed that he met with four associate press reporters for evidence. >> harris: thank you very much, i want to bring in judge andrew napolitano, let's start in reverse order of these issues with paul manafort. >> i don't think it's a surprise to the federal prosecutors that trumps lawyers and manafort's lawyers were talking to each other, they often sips backed that they may be planting something in the mind of the manafort lawyer because that is a way to get it to a trump lawyer. it's highly unusual for manafort having achieved a deal that he wanted to have lied to fbi agents about the substance of their debriefing him and thereby destroying the deal. the problem that confronts the president is the government says manafort lied and manafort says he didn't, the judge has to resolve that before she can sentence him, how is she going to resolve that? with a testimo

they have andrew weissmann and all the other people who hate trump. so i get it. i wouldn't have advised my client to talk to them but i think they feel like jerome corsi, didn't do anything. i am a journalist writing stuff i didn't do anything. you can indict a ham sandwich. >> you can. the bottom line, as you know, we don't know if they had anything to hide or not. one thing about corsi, he was trying to work on some kind of deal where he would not plead to intentionally lying. really the only way you can be successfully -- plead guilty to a crime of a false statement is if you did it intentionally. if you didn't do it intentionally, he shouldn't plead guilty. >> laura: dershowitz now, dershowitz has been reviled by the left or defending trump. all the invitations to the parties dried up at martha's vineyard. apparently nobody would come to his party. >> so sad. >> laura: the martha's vineyard crowd turned a cold shoulder. i was very distressed for him actually. >> they haven't invited me to any of their parties either paid >> laura: sol, when people don't know

paul manafort's legal team arrived in washington for the short hearing were special prosecutor andrew weissmannndicated more criminal charges are under consideration including offenses that paul manafort admitted to but was never charged with pit his lawyers say that the special counsel is using pressure tactics and the plea deal broke down because mueller's team once information that the client cannot provide, a tentative sentencing is now scheduled for march. >> mr. cohen has cooperated. >> after pleading guilty, the 2017 senate testimony about the moscow real estate proposal is underscored in t. michael cohen briefed the family, the president's son said that he knew "very little about the deal, adding that it faded away at the end of 14." that timeline appears to conflict with michael cohen who said that discussions continued until june 2016. in a russian foreign real estate developer broached the idea of the brush and penthouse for vladimir putin, he did not come into a fox on the penthouse proposal, but said "no matter which capital you build this caliber of a project income you would need

. >> sean: we know andrew weissmann, january, all the democratic donors, monica, it has never been tot the appearance of the people he selected, to me, has been so over-the-top. i want to specifically -- the only thing we are hearing now, jerome corsi is suggesting that .he has been told that he might face charges of lying, which would be in the vein i guess, michael flynn, although the two fbi agents claimed he never lied, and maybe papadopoulos. but if that's it, and roger stone, who they want to go after, i'm not sure what that would all be about but it doesn't seem connected to donald trump in any way. >> so far what we know and what we have seen from the me too are essentially process crimes. nothing that goes to the core of the original assignment for robert mueller, which was to investigate so-called russia collusion, which our friend gregg jarrett has called aptly the russian hoax. they did their best during the campaign to block trump from becoming president and once he became president, it moved to ae different phase, which was try to undermine and ultimately destroy his pre

speak of the president's legal team singled out special counsel prosecutor andrew weissmann for allegedly pressuring manafort and other witnesses. a former prosecutor says the mueller probe may have overreached. others disagree. >> the underlying thing they are investigating as politics, not crime. it's not up prosecute her's place do that. >> manafort is clearly putting all of his eggs in the trump pardon basket. it's a big gamble that trump will pardon him. >> a source with knowledge tells fox news that presents written answers to mueller are consistent with his public statements. on the june 2016 trump tower meeting, the president tweeted last summer he had no advanced knowledge. a status hearing for the manafort case is scheduled for friday in washington. >> shannon: catherine herridge, thank you very much. robert mueller is playing hardball with potential key witnesses and at least one is now threatening to fire back. rogers drone associate jerome corsi tweeting he has instructed his attorneys to file a criminal complaint against mueller special counsel in the doj for prosecutorial m

fox news has also learned that mueller's investigators, including andrew weissmann, have pumped and foreting with russians at trump tower in june of 2016 and whether candidate trump knew in advance. fox has also special counsel investigators have pressed them on the role of the son-in-law, jared kushner, was at that meeting. a source close to manafort's defense team alleges that he pressured him, asking the same questions repeatedly, looking and partly for different answers. it's important to note that wiseman stepped away from the virginia prosecution of manafort early this year after it was revealed that he met with associated press reporters about evidence against manafort. in the meantime, a senior democrat is reacting. >> manafort is clearly putting all of his eggs in the trump pardon basket. he is gambling, and it's a big gamble that trump will pardon him. he is playing both sides. he is completely untrustworthy. he is a chronic and pathological liar. his testimony probably would have been worthless anyway. >> at the briefing, the white house press secretary was interviewed about
