of the follow the money investigations seem to find their way back to deutsch bank one way or the other. the "new york times" posted a 4,000 plus word o pus on trump's bank that has a ton of new stuff. we will have more on that coming up, but in general this is not the only thing that has been churning over the course of the day. today is turning out to be a busy day on the lie down with dogs, get up with fleas beat. some of stuff is spinning out from the paul manafort case as the president's chairman is stated to be starting his seven plus years in federal prison. not only is he facing new york state charges in addition his federal time, but when it comes to other things that are deriving from the manafort investigation, the bell is starting to toll for other people and other entities who may have been involved in the stuff that manafort is going to jail for. there was a moment in manafort's federal sentencing last week when now looking back at it, you can sort of see that the judge who sentenced him was teeing this up pretty clearly. i didn't feel until today like i knew what exactly the judge was gettin getting@

"it's humorous. it's a humorous financial statement." and he's not wrong. trump claimed revenue from 24 locks at a california golf course that don't exist and added 800 nonexistent acres to the vineyard in virginia and my favorite, he added 10 imaginary stories to trump tower. falsely claiming it was 56 stories tall. it's not. there are more lies that could come back to hant trump. the oversight committee has requested ten years from trump's accountant and they've subpoenaed records on seven years in jail. seven years in jail. >>> you want to tell people their concern and desire for >>> you want to tell people their concern and desire for clean air and clean water is aleadest. tell that to the children in the bronx. tell that to the families in flint whose kids have their blood is ascending in lead levels and brains are damaged for the rest of their

statements from 2011, 2012, and 2013 which he gave to deutsche bank to inquire about a loan to buy the buffalo bills. >> let's look at what the washington post report uncovers. he would sometimes send them official looking documents called statements of financial condition. they could run up to 20 pages, laying out trump properties, debt, and his multimillion dollar net worth, but some were flawed. some did not have big debts, some were overvalued, and some were just inaccurate. he said, for instance, that he had 55 lots to sell at his southern california trump. in virginia he claimed his vineyard has 2,000 acres, it is really 1200. and that trump tower has 68 stories, but it really has 58 stories. maybe you think it is worth that, but calling his value, his good will doubled his net without. let's start with one of the reporters on that piece. david, an msnbc political analyst, a lot of reporting in here, there is no news in the fact that he has lied and lied a lot, the issue here is whether or not the lies are criminal. >> that's right this is not about public posted on moess misleading, this is about him his leading people in private. so

deutsch. republican strategist is with us. and editorial writer for the "washington post" joins us this morning and national security expert columnisti always talk about my favorite quote from democratic senator paul simon who said in politics sometimes when you win you lose and sometimes when you lose you win. i find it quite striking that the republicans have overreached and actually even after that letter appear to be so desperate that they're swinging wildly, making personal attacks, trying to draw up enemies' lists for reporters and i've got to say, i -- i sense they're actually for some strange reason back on their wheels. as adam schiff showed yesterday and we will show everybody today. donald trump and his administration still have so many improper things that they did, that may not have been illegal but they are certainly unpatriotic. >> i think they're trying to use the period between the bar summary, because i don't refer it to as the mueller report. all we have is the barr summary. they're trying to use it between the release of things of what we now know as a 300 page report. the attorney general really did this very co
