economy almost a year and three months later the dutch safety board published a report this is jeff toobin flight m.h. seventy crashed because often the end of three well for or against the today just outside of the airplane and the best the left side of the cockpit the report didn't blame any specific group or person and estimated a very wide area of three hundred twenty kilometers as a zone from which the missiles fired at the same time the russian producer of missiles day conducted its own independent investigation. that they speeded me up the fullest. lou of the delegates i mean the nist is up a school during the experiment they blew up a retired airliner with a bouquet missile and came to the conclusion that the malaysian plane was brought down by the older two. of missiles not used by russia anymore but still in the possession of ukraine the company claims that the missile was launched from the territory controlled by the ukrainian military. one would expect that these controversial results would again stir up public interest in the investigation but the tragedy of malaysian flight m

director james comey, fbi chief of staff jim rybicki resigned and now rachel brand resigned. >> no, if jeff toobin would not speculate on her individual motivation a few minutes ago i'm not foolish enough to rush in where angels fear to tread but i think it's clear the justice department and fbi are an example of how the president has refused to affect the norms on the president's direct influence of the law enforcement agencies. all of that turmoil you see is directly related to his desire to have the fbi and the justice department view itself in essence as an extension of his will. to view themselves as needing to declare personal loyalty to him in a way that is far outside the boundaries of the way other presidents have treated the justice department of justice historically. so it's hard to imagine that was not a factor in this, although we have not heard from her or even her close associates yet. >> as you know, jeffrey, the president wants loyalty from this top justice department officials and fbi officials which is unusual. >> this is the classic definition of how this president is violating

. >> i am looking forward to it, jeff toobin. >> it's not just for berkeley graduates. >> no, it is fascinatinge are so looking forward to this. "the radical story of patty hearst," a three-part miniseries starting at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn sunday night. >>> was she a hostage? >> you're in an apartment one minute and the next minute you're in a closet, blindfolded. the fear must have been overwhelming. >> four counts of robbery, five counts of assault with a deadly weapon. >> one woman. >> it was clear i robbed a bank and there was really no denial of it. >> now the heiress wants to join the kidnappers. >> is she america's most famous crime victim? or is she the most famous rich turncoat? >> cnn takes you inside the most terrifying saga that gripped our nation. >> they were running from the law, running from what they regard as certain death. >> i am soldier of a people's army. >> "the radical story of patty hearst" airs sunday at 9:00 on cnn. crohn's disease. you're more than just a bathroom disease. you're a life of unpredictable symptoms. crohn's, you've tried to own us. but now

kirsten powers, jack kingston, margot hoover, jeff toobin. kirsten, wondering what you make of it. >> that was an incredible interview. there's just so many things. first of all, just for people to understand how hard it is for someone to come out and say all the things that she said. definitely even the fact that he's still sort of pushing back against this. i think it's very hard for women who have been abused, even after they're out of it, to still push against somebody. because often the abusers convince the women that they're kind of crazy. that they imagined it, it didn't really happen. >> that's one of the reasons a girlfriend contacted -- >> right. >> the former wife, because she said she felt crazy. >> and people generally don't believe you. if you look at here we have this statement saying they take domestic abuse seriously at the white house. i would have to say, i don't think you do, actually. because a story came out before the picture that said that this person choked, kicked ex-wives, punched in the face, before the picture cam

our colleague, jeff toobin, made a good point a few minutes ago. more typically see is america's heros marching down broadway in new york. the canyon of heros, the ticker tape. this has gone on for decades, throughout america's wars. and those kinds of broadway, new york, celebrations are really a true celebration of the service of those who go to war on behalf of the nation. it's not very typical, frankly, to see american weaponry rolling through america's city streets. it is something, i don't know that anybody can predict how nations overseas, especially in the middle east and asia, might react to it all, wolf? >> jeffrey, what do you think? >> well, you know, i -- we're getting more north korean every day in this country. you know, yesterday the president says people who don't cheer are un-american and treasonous. and today, we're going to start having big parades with tanks and missiles. and, you know, people have to decide whether they want to have that kind of country. i mean, we have a country where we celebrate our troops, as barbara said,

. >> and jeff toobin, just in terms of, you know, even if the white house redacts some information, that doesn't necessarily help the accuracy -- i mean, if things are inaccurate, redacting other things, that doesn't impact the accuracy. >> right. i mean, the statement from the fbi is quite clear that the problem is not just that there is too much classified information in this document. it says that there are omissions that make the document false. you can't redact a document to fix omissions. that is something that can't possibly be addressed in a simple classification review. i mean, what's going on here is that fox and friends and fox news is setting the agenda, not just for the house republicans, but for the president of the united states here. they're the ones who want this released. no one else thinks this is accurate. the democrats in the house don't think it's accurate. the fbi doesn't think it's accurate. but because the right wing of the party wants to discredit the investigation of robert mueller, the damage to national security is being done. this is without precedent in ame

the radical story of patty hearst, produced, everything, by jeff toobin. sunday night at 9:00.>> the first two hours on sunday night, and then two more sunday nights, two more hours each sunday. >> it's a series. starts this sunday night for the next three weeks. >> that's right. >> all right, next, omarosa. a lot to say about life in the trump white house. so what's her truth? >> i was haunted by tweets every single day, like what is he going to tweet next? i tried hard to quit smoking. but when we brought our daughter home, that was it. now i have nicoderm cq. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. it's the best thing that ever happened to me. every great why needs a great how. >>> tonight, omarosa is back, and the white house is playing a key role, because she's speaking out about her role next to the president for so many months. here's jeanne moos. >> i'm omarosa, and i'm back. >> oh, brother. she just arrived on celebrity big brother. >> omarosa. >> and already, she's spilling the beans, whispering in the da

>> yeah, i always like to agree with jeff toobin and i agree with him there, as well. the other point to the make, though, is the nature of the charges are certainly serious and they're very numerous, but they're also pretty straightforward. you know, some of the charges have to do with whether or not he declared income, and whether or not they lied about having foreign bank accounts. those are fairly simple things to prove. pretty straightforward. if he had income and didn't declare it on his tax returns, it's a very hard defense to make in response to that. and the same is true with respect to the bank accounts in other countries. i know a little bit less about the facts relating to the bank fraud and the loans. but, you know, cases like that can be made fairly quickly and straightforwardly and there's not much you can do about it. >> it's really amazing, if you go through the document, and gone through it, how much detail the special counsel and his team, they've collected. they clearly have gone ahead and followed the money. but i suspect what we know publicly righ

joined now by john dean, gloria borger, jeffrey toobin. jeff, let's start with this gates plea deal. gates, big fish here. the deputy campaign chair. a major player in the campaign, pleading to things that didn't relate directly to the campaign but again, this has got to be a bad night for paul manafort. >> in fact, manafort did something unintentionally very revealing, when he issued a statement he said, i continue to maintain our innocence. that shows how linked he is with rick gates, that he still speaks of them as a team. his problem is that gates has now admitted that he was engaged in many interlocking conspiracies with manafort. tax fraud, campaign finance laws, foreign reporting laws. all of those heavily documented, are now admitted crimes on the part of rick gates, and it really makes manafort's situation pretty desperate. >> you have the deputy chair flipping, what could it mean for the chair. gloria, paul manafort seems like he's fighting. >> yeah. well, his lawyer indicates that he is. maybe he's fighting until he's not fighting an

toobin. first, jeff, tell us more about the specifics of the indictments. what do they cover?er very similar indictments to the first indictment, except there's more of a focus on the tax issues here. basically, the gist of it is that manafort received millions of dollars and manafort and gates received millions of dollars from his work on behalf of yanukovych, who was the ukrainian leader who was allied with vladimir putin. in this case, they are accused of receiving that money in phony loans that they were actually using the money as if it were income, but treating it as if it's loans, so they didn't have to pay taxes on it. so the tax charges are at the heart of this case. >> so, i mean, is this a move, jeff, to pressure gates and manafort into taking a plea deal or pressuring gates into flip on manafort and maybe manafort to flip on somebody else? >> that's exactly what it is. it's worth remembering that paul manafort is 70 years old. if he's convicted in both of these cases, he is almost certainly going to die in prison. that's really the choice he's facing. is roll the d

>>> a quick programming note involving our friend jeffrey toobin, i read it, jeff, excellent book.essive is executive producer of a new cnn original series about the case. it debuts this weekend. i'm very excited. >> it's kreally good in my unbiassed opinion. it is full of archival footage. and interviews with people who have never talked about the case on camera including the person who actually kidnapped katie hufrt and pulled her out of the house in berkeley. and it's still a mystery to a lot of people about what side she was really on. >> be sure to tune in for "the radical story of patty hearst" on sunday. thank you for watching. time to hand it over to don lemon. cnn tonight starts right now. >>> and this is cnn tonight. i'm don lemon. thank you for joining us. breaking news. the federal government on the verge of shutting down again. at midnight. not so long from now. that's right, our government managed to stay open for a whole 17 days. congress so far unable to pass a spending bill to keep it open. we're going to explain exactly what's happening tonight on capitol hill. an

toobin, van jones, paris denard, and anne milgram. i don't know how we found so many people on a friday night. >> cnn has its ways. >> jeff, you've read this letter. what do you make of it? >> well, the unfairness is so obvious and so egregious. i mean if you are going to trust the fbi, you have to trust the fbi with regard to the democratic as well as the republican memo. the nunes memo came up last week, and the fbi objected, and the white house said, we don't care. we're going to release it. today the democratic memo comes up, and the fbi objects, and they say, oh, we have to respect the opinion of the fbi. i don't personally care whether either memo comes out, but there should be the same standard applied to both. >> scott? >> i will frame this a different way. this memo comes over to the white house. it's ten pages. we don't know what's in it. clearly there's sensitive information in it. and they say, we're not going to release it tonight. we are inclined to do so. the president orders his own administration to work with the democrats to arrive at a solution and, tonight, congressman schiff of the committee has said, i will gladl
