calk ignored the red flags on manafort's portfolio. ended up approving loans for a whopping $16 million. trump was appointed to the economic advisory council. when manafort needed that multimillion-dollar second loan, this time, calk approved it and shortly thereafter sent manafort a list of administration jobs that he wanted. manafort did end up getting calk an interview in undersecretary of the army, but he never got the job. he did get decided for that scheme in new york city. he was convicted in july of financing institution bribery and conspiracy. yesterday, nearly six years after the start of that bribery scheme, calk was finally sentence. the department of justice aptly puts the news in its head line bank ceo stephen m.calk sentenced to one year and one day for corruptly soliciting a presidential administration police station in exchange for approving $16 million in loans. in addition to spending 366 days in prison, calk must pay $1.2 million in fines, community service and undergo two years of supervised release. as for manafor

the one glaring problem was that manafort had a lot of red flags on his financials.e struck a deal. calk ignored the red flags, and ended up securing manafort for the loans. $16 million. calk was appointed to the trump campaign's economic advisory campaign adviser. well this time calk approved it and shortly thereafter, sent manafort a list of administration jobs that he wanted. manafort did and up getting calk and interviewed him a trump tower, but calk never got the job. he did eventually get indicted for that scheme by federal prosecutors in new york city. he was convicted in july of financial institution bribery and conspiracy, and yesterday, nearly six years after the start of that bribery scheme, calk was finally sentenced. the department of justice aptly puts the news and it's headline announcing the news, quote, bank ceo stephen em cobb sentenced to one year and one day for corruptly soliciting a presidential administration position in exchange for approving 16 million and loans. in addition to spending 366 days in prison, calk must pay one point $2 million i

>> think the whole manafort trial is very sad. when you look at what's going on there, i think it's a very sad day for our country. he worked for me for a very short period of time but you know what? he happens to be a very good punish. and i think it's very sad what they have done to paul manafort. >> he would of course go on to pardon paul manafort and roger stone, neither of whom in his words ever flipped on him. so, what he saw on saturday shouldn't be surprising. the behavior and intent were out in the open years before. as was going back to his first campaign, his intention to let a foreign power hack american computers and tamper with american democracy. >> russia, if you are listening, i hope you are able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. >> well five hours later, according to the mueller report, the russian hacking began. his subsequent explanation to the special counsel's team was that it was a joke, quote, as was apparent to any objective observer.

and as you say, he dangled pardons in front of manafort.r people who cooperated with the government, people like michael cohen and he called them a rat and went after him. his recent statements as well as recent reports about pardoning the people involved in the january 6th attack, they go to a couple of things. they go to this idea that if this was not something he condoned, why would he consider pardoning them? so it is important as the his intent. but it is also part of that broader pattern, lawrence, to influence potentially what witnesses have to say or whether they will say it. >> we have learned a lot since that first impeachment investigation that you conducted about donald trump's attempt to use the ukrainian president in his own reelection campaign, and to try to convince him to somehow damage joe biden, if he could in the campaign. lieutenant colonel vindman listen to that phone call as the president was making it. he stepped forward to testify about it. he now says in sworn legal documents, in this lawsuit, that there was a conc

manafort waziristan sharing polling data.clinton campaign via its law firm engagings private contractors who had secret government contracts to mine data related to internet traffic in the white house. that's enormous. that's a huge deal. by the way i want to point out the editorial -- we have an editorial coming up very soon on this next couple minutes and it does have news in it too about who that tech executive is and his defense. >> bret: okay. we will watch for that. panel, as always, thank you. finally tonight, it is a special day for a pair of super bowl champions. that's a special day graphic for you. los angeles rams free safety taylor rap took a knee shortly after his team's victory. he made a surprise proposal to his girlfriend danny johnson as his buddies passed around the vince lombardi trophy. two rings one night. pretty impressive there, tailor. moving on to another player who had a little time to celebrate after being informed his wife went into labor during the super bowl, wide receiver van jefferson really s

manafort's apprentice donald trump who he helped to elect in 2016 with russia's backing is acting like the ukraiian strong man and embarked from the -- he's emerged from the maga cocoon as a fully formed authoritarian butterfly. trump is not only endorsing january 6th but proming to reward the insurrectionists. trump said this weekend if he retakes the white house in 2024, he may offer them presidential pardons. >> another thing we'll do and so many people have been asking me about it, if i run and if i win, we will treat those people from january 6th fairly. we will treat them fairly. and if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons. >> behind the scenes, trump is also planning a massive coverup of his role in inciting the vier -- violence that day seeking to bolster the conspiracy theory the fbi did it. according to "the daily beast" trump said congressional candidates and operatives in recent months that republicans on capitol hill should be prepared to launch a full blown investigation to get to the bottom of how fbi agents supposedly cause violence and mayhem on january 6th.

political insiders like hunter biden, paul manafort and many others go to ukraine for quick paydays.ld, wild west out there. and americans make a fortune that country. all of that is jeopardized if russia invades. but we are just so focused on europe we have to focus on the pacific. if china invades taiwan our ninth biggest trade partner that's much more important than ukraine. that's where we get all our microchips, cars, steel, plastics, you name it. if china moves on taiwan that's a real supply chain problem. last, if putin does go in, it's going to be bloody. and very costly. russia could collapse trying to reclaim its old empire. it will bleed them dry. russia can't afford an occupation in ukraine, a nasty insurgency. no way. maybe putin's romantic longing for reestablishing his empire blinding him to the cost of conquest or maybe he sees clearly but wants ukraine back at any cost. we don't know. joining me now former national security adviser to the president general keith kellogg. all right. did i lay it out there accurately, general? >> you have. i thought it was great, jesse

this is a guy who pardoned michael flynn and roger stone and manafort and papadopoulos and jared kushner's father and pardoned a lot more than that in the last few months of his presidency. he has a record of doing this. of pardoning people who stick up for him and who don't tell on him. so republicans should believe him when he's saying this. >> mark, i mean, we know they want to speak with mike pence, as well. i mean, do you think he'll do it? >> well, don, i think what's been shocking to all of america but a especially americans like ana and i is the extent the entire party rolled over under donald trump's autocrat thumb, it takes a few good men and women. like mark short. he's a straight shooter. he's compelled to tell the truth. and people like liz cheney, only takes a few to tell the truth and the truth gets out and the truth will prevail. >> i think it takes more than that, mark. i had a little glimmer of hope. call me maybe naive or of optimists. when i heard lindsey graham who spent the trump years doing nothing but polishing shoes, when i heard graham talk about how it would be i

but also remember, too, that reince priebus and paul ma manafort, when they pushed pence for the ticketthey were thinking about the down ballot races. a lot of the same groups, i write about this a bit in terms of the difference between teleevangelicals and the midwest evangelicals who are quieter about these things and might have stayed home. that was the concern. and i think what we're watching here is pence holding onto the same groups that he developed that rapport with before. he's going to the federalist society. the thing with pence is you've got to watch his actions more than the actual messaging. and he's doing it methodically. it goes to florida. he does not get heckled. that was astounding. you know? so this guy is a viable candidate right now. >> he must have been able to sense that he would not get heckled for coming out and saying that. and remarkably on the same day that the rnc censured those two members, liz cheney and adam k kinz kinzinger. tom, thank you. >> thank you. >>> police say two people are dead and one injured after a shooting near milwaukee. you can see here

he requested the meeting to deliver in person a peace plan for ukraine that manafort acknowledged toffice was a back doorway for russia to control part of eastern ukraine. both men believe the plan would require candidate trump's assent to succeed were he to be elected president. he did ascend and succeed. why do you think putin didn't engage in this operation while trump was president? >> well, it is a good question. he said yesterday this wouldn't have happened when i was president, or somehow he was too tough. i think a number of things, one, he didn't need help, putin didn't need help trying to drive a wedge in nato because president trump was doing that. president trump as we talked about in this program repeatedly badgered and berated the western allies, especially germany, for not paying enough in his view for defense spending and in fact he continued that theme just yesterday in that same radio interview. he recalled with great glee how he threatened not to abide by the article five commitment to defend nato allies if they didn't pay up. to use his phrase. he already had in p

we have paul manafort who lied about lobbying for ukraine without registering.imir putin to do the things we're now seeing. trump has a lot of russian debt that he's either trying to retire or get written off. you don't have to be a foreign affairs expert or an expert in european history to just put together the dots. these people were evil and they did it right in front of our faces for four years and what we're seeing now is a result of that. >> this is how senator mitt romney described americans who support putin. >> how anybody in this country, which loves freedom, could side with vladimir putin, who is an oppressor, a dictator, he kills people, he imprisons his political opponents, he has been an adversary of america at every chance he's had. it's unthinkable to me. it's almost treasonous. and it just makes me ill. >> what mitt romney just said there, david, is that a minority perspective in the gop right now? he's been the most articulate and vociferous about saying this. we vociferous about saying this. we have not heard anything like that from anybody el

of the cases that comes to my mind, a case i covered, watched for the show was the trial of paul manafort, remember he had financial crimes that he was convicted of, bank fraud, and tax cases, claims and other things, and some of the key witnesses in his case were his accountants, and some of the things they testified about were, you know, he gave me information that i relied on in preparing these financial documents. i have now learned that that information was false. and so because of that, the documents that i produced were false. so even in the same kind of way, i could imagine that they are cooperating with the attorney general, they don't want to get cross-wise with the government, and they will produce documents that they believe comply with accounting principles, but if they learn that the raw data that was used in those documents was wrong, i think you will see them run from those documents which appears to be what is happening here. >> i feel like this is actually the textbook definition of running, right, don't pay attention to the last decade of documents we gave you. i wonder

as for manafort, he too was convicted of multiple felonies and other schemes, including bank fraud and filing false tax returns. but he is free. of course, because donald trump pardoned him right before he left office. but nice work if you can get it. that does it for us tonight, we'll see you again tomorrow. now it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. that's not our world, we just have to keep on working, we can't just do that stuff and get away with. it their new definition of what they call legitimate political discourse. i really want to hear which steve schmidt has to say about that. he gets to work with those people, not the same people who are there now, but a lot of them. so, i'm really eager for his reactions. thank you, ali. sometimes in the fog of war. on sanity something here seeing the fog like a bolt of lightning and illuminates what we are looking at. today, that bolt of lightning was one word. one word. that explains the madness. and there is nothing more challenging to explain then maps. but hakeem jeffries did it today. with one word. the word? cult. >> t

over this time and they just cannot understand donald trump, you know, and they understand paul manafort, the man worked trying to dismantle their country but all the rest of the republican party siding against them is absolutely heartbreaking to them. look, these people now have resolve. one last thing, joy, i want to make clear, when they do this hybrid cyber warfare against ukraine, it will be followed up almost instantly, if not within the hour of a massive kinnetic attack. they will use long range ballistic missiles. they're not just going to jam ukraine, they're going to blow up all the cellar networks and use air strikes and physical attacks that will kill thousands. so when we say cyber warfare and hybrid warfare, we're moving where they dominate the ability to kill ukrainians and that's going to be a big part of it. >> it is. and yet, you have americans siding with them, which is insane. malcolm nance, clint watts, thank you. clint is sticking around. >>> new information from the fbi reveals how many hbcus were targeted by the avalanche of bomb threats and the numbers, oh, they'

one of the cases that come to my mind, the case i watched covered for the show was the trial paul manafortimes that he was convicted of, bank fraud, tax cases. some of the key witnesses in this case where his accountants. some of the things they testified about he gave me informations whatever light on preparing the financial documents, i now learned the information was false. because of that the documents that i produced was false. so in the same kind of way i could imagine that the missouri is cooperating with the attorney general and they don't want to get across with the government. they will produce documents that they believe comply with accounting principles, but if they learn that the data that was used in those documents was wrong, i think you will see them run and from those documents -- >> i think it's text with definition of running. don't pay any attention to the last documents i gave you. i wonder, to what extent should we expect this development to affect the criminal probe being led by the manhattan's district attorney into trump's finances? we know there are parallel probe

former trump campaign manager paul manafort. former white house chief of staff mark meadows. mark, let me start with you, paul, because of you went through. you now hear this and all the things that you got caught up in in a case that had been long in mothballs. they dragged it out. put you in jail and said if you say this, we'll let you out of jail which you didn't do. >> i mean, as eric just said, it's payback time. the whole mueller predicate was the fake steele dossier, the fake black ledger, the fake ties with the banks between the servers of trump and russia. that was the basis. by which mueller was appointed and he found nothing yet he kept going. what you see now with what durham is doing, the facts that mueller couldn't find. he's got the evidence mueller couldn't get to. he is proving the case that with the democrats accused republicans of is a good forecast of what they're doing. that's what you see. it's outrageous. it's outrageous. >> sean: mark, one of the things why i don't have a lot of confidence tonight, although all of this is now, durham wouldn't put it in

as for manafort, he too was convicted of multiple felonies and other schemes, including bank fraud and filing false tax returns. but he is free. of course, because donald trump pardoned him right before he left office. but nice work if you can get it. that does it for us tonight, we'll see you again tomorrow. now it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. that's not our world, we just have to keep on working, we can't just do that stuff and get away with. it on >> we certainly do. and ali, we have steve schmidt joining us tonight. we're gonna get his reaction to the republican national committee. their new definition of what they call legitimate political discourse. i really want to hear what's steve schmidt has to say about this. he used to work with those -- with the republican national committee. and not the same people. but i i'm eager to hear his reaction. >> i'm looking for tua to. i'll be watching, my friend. >> thank you ali. thank. you will sometimes in the fog of war, the fog of the war on sanity that trump has been waging for over six years now, something here seei

children, jared kushner, bank loans, condo sales, attacks on carter page, gosh pap -- george papandreou manafortormation inside of the doj and the fbi and the mueller probe? you will see a lot here. jim, you see a lot of these narratives played out inside of the media. it is clear how close the hillary campaign was feeding information into the media like cnn and msnbc and others to go after trump and his campaign. >> right. i mean remember the sussman indictment alleges that mr. sussman went to the fbi, proclaimed that there was this russian connection. then went back to the media said, hey, guess what, the fbi is investigating a russia connection. it is so circular the way they feed themselves, create circular narrative, the trump rule ends justify means. fbi, media, political part of jim comey's fbi, hillary clinton campaign and they were like-minded individuals and too happy to spread this type of defamation for years it turned out. elizabeth: they were probing michael cohen, his family, nra, gop primaries, nato majors, france and germany. the durham probe, we know they're amassing grand jury

in the russia probe when john dowd, his personal attorney, started dangling the pardons to paul manafort and mike flynn. we know it's potentially obstruction of justice. the reality here is that we should be truly shocked by the fact that we're not shocked. that in and of itself is an astounding statement about who donald trump is as a person who walks our streets as a member of this society and yet feels that he can do whatever he wants. and by the way, i do hope that folks who were at that rally understand the difference between someone promising something they do not have the power to give without having won an election and what it should say to them, that he is trying to protect himself by promise something, if he wins an election he hasn't even declared to run in. >> joyce, it's not the only way in which it seems he's protecting himself. we see this $1 million payment to meadows weeks after the panel started. what does that tell you? >> doj is going to have to face the decision in front of them, the decision about whether or not they're going to take some action to hold the former p

as for manafort, he, too, was convicted of schemes. he is free, of course, because donald trump pardoned him right before he left office. nice work if you can get it. that does it for us tonight, we'll see you tomorrow, "way too early with jonathan lemire" is up next. ♪♪ >>> the split in the republican party widens. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell denounces the rnc censure-two republicans committee as the chairwoman defends it. the question is the gop rift too far to be bridged? >>> plus, the latest from eastern europe. the president of france said he received assurances from vladimir putin that russia would not escalate the crisis with ukraine. the question is, but what is the kremlin saying? >>> and new york is expected to join the growing list of states ending mask mandates as covid cases fall. the question is what about the separate mandate for schools? it's "way too early" for this. >>> good morning. and welcome to "way too early." the show that thinks that kevin mccarthy may have a future in olympic speed walking. we'll sh

to install a pro moscow puppet regime instead, like the one they funded paul manafort and stall, in anteration of the ukrainian government, before they throw him out in 2014. but if they're going to overthrow the ukrainian government, but in their own type of government, they will have to get to the ukrainian government physically. and the ukrainian president, in the capital of kyiv. give us a pretty far west from russia's border. it's not at all far from the border of belarus, where russian forces staged, ahead of this invasion, from which they already made advances. this is video taken earlier today from ukraine's border, and it shows russian troops and vehicle streaming into ukraine over the belarusian border. the pentagon says russia has fired more than 116 missiles into ukraine since this innovation started. and they do say, at the solid and have been targeted around ukraine's capital city. russia keeps saying it's only targeting military targets, but at least one of the missiles shot into kyiv hit a residential part of the city today. tonight, the assault apparently continues. er

we saw this with paul manafort. he came in and cooperated but he was still lying to them. i'll believe it when i see it, but if he is, i do think he possesses a lot of information that could be helpful to the committee. >> so it's interesting you bring up this idea of cooperfiction, because "the new york times" is reporting rudy giuliani it seem confrontational stance. he's taking a less confrontational stance here. there is this idea that some people are talking about, if he's going to be less confrontational in his stance versus someone like steve bannon, does that mean he's a more reliable witness? what do you make of that? >> yeah, i think giuliani is very savvy. sometimes i think he comes across as a bumbler, but don't forget, he had all those years a as federal prosecutor, including prosecutions against the mob, and i think he knows from that, that the way to receive lenient treatment for yourself is by cooperating against others. i think he's at least going to engage with them to try to demonstrate good faith. if for nothing else, to delay any activity that might re

if you go back to paul manafort. he was in ukraine. and became the chairman for the campaign.or things like let's hold back weapons to ukraine. fast forward into the trump administration. president trump took vladimir putin side. several times. and talked about essentially russia was okay to take ukraine. he created an entire conspiracy about ukraine interfering in the election. which was totally bogus. all of that to say sanctions could have been in place. if you look at the last administration, they slow rolled and let putin do whatever he wanted. vladimir putin was can i take ukraine without a fight. will america let me do it during the trump administration. now today is putin aggressively moving forward during the biden administration. a chance to go ahead and do what he said he wanted to do 15 years ago. unite all of what he calls russian people. and those left abroad outside the russian border when the soviet commune collapsed. this is trajectory. sanctions might have slowed it down a bit, i have to say the last administration gave putin a lot of run way to get ready for

destructiveness, knocking out the german economic structure, all the commanders thought oil and manaforting -- hitting them were working very well. i remember the meeting with harris. he said harris, you are wasting a lot of bombs, you are screwing us up. and we could be hitting more important targets. we have the achilles heel. we have it in our hand. and this is wastage. it wasn't so much about morality. but wastage. and i don't know if he would have been permitted. you made a good point in your book. you said he was running rogue in the pacific. he really was. nor stead was the only guy over there. he didn't even go through arnold, the head of the air force, to conduct a type of bombing that just hadn't been done before. >> yeah. >> 62 cities. and doesn't consult his own air commander. >> yeah. he gets -- i mean, today that does not -- >> jesus! >> -- fly. his personality, though, it's -- i don't know -- out in the audience i know there is trevor albertson. who i know -- he has a couple albums of the biography of lemay. i don't know if he found it but i was going through lemay's papers w

manafort and mr. cohen, to your knowledge, not 50% of the sentence is that correct? >> i'm not going to talk about individual specific cases, congresswoman. but we have procedures in place and a a committee that reviews them and i can certainly go through that process if you like. >> i would appreciate if you could provide in writing if you're not going to discuss it on the individuals release under the 50% rule. let me ask what are you doing to prevent more deaths in the facilities? >> congresswoman, we've been in lockstep with the cdc and other entities from day number one and we are doing the same thing everyone in the country into the world is doing, learning how to mitigate this virus as stated earlier that it's hard to social distance inside of a prison. that's why we appreciate the ability under the cares act to transfer people out because we were able to lower the population with security facilities and the one you described. we are following cdc guidance and we do everything in collaboration with them and the pandemic plan actually assisted in writing the co

the conduct of pompei, carlson, trump, hawley had nothing to do with unfinished business of paul manafortit had to do about the future and russia so good doing in '16. and the hope and expectation without anything to do -- special counsel that russia migd help them should they represent the republican party. i don't think people appreciate how precarious things are and the allies do. trumpism is alive and kicking as an undercurrent and struck by how many people in that movement liked trump with the anti-war promise. that they saw him as an isolationist and muddled and messy but backing a warmonger like vladimir putin isn't part of what they thought they had for the $19.99 on qvc. >> max is right. this is when we need to hope. you sense the unity among the american people supporting the ukrainians. we have been here before. right? we know what it feels like when the country unites. we know when people who love freedom and democracy when they unite and that's happening right now and zelenskyy is doing a great job of communicating and leading and meanwhile i think americans need to understan

people like paul manafort. and oligarchs backing up vladmir putin. a lot of mutually beneficial autocratic bonds that have been formed and very little accountability for anyone, which is why we reached the point members of congress feel comfortable speaking at this sort of horrific rally. >> quite terrifying, malcolm, honestly. i recall in 2016 the way russia targeted specifically black voters. i am looking at existing threats, private businesses have been warned about ransomware attacks from russia. something that terrifies me, havana syndrome. there was reporting about it. what is your assessment of the biggest threat russia poses to us here on domestic soil right now? >> i mean, russia poses threats on many different levels. many parts of the spectrum. you can think about it. havana syndrome being done as a secret operation around the world, using u.s. diplomats and intelligence personnel as test pets. but this is a country that deployed the single most deadly chemical weapon in a chemical weapons attack against our ally, england. they poisoned th

we saw something similar in the trial of manafort.ere was an accountant who may have been understanding and perhaps turning a blind eye. but at the end of the day a thing they said at the accounting firm was garbage in and garbage out. we can only package it in the financial documents and the real wrong doer is the person that providing the information and a thing that attorney general james will want to pin down. >> david, can you expand on that? it seems like anyone that watched "the apprentice" knew that garbage was coming in and anyone that saw michael cohen before congress had confirmation and no accusations by anyone in law enforcement that garbage was coming out. what is behind the decision by mazars to this week walk away from donald trump? >> i think barbara's right. they have been getting the -- folks testified under oath already. getting things from the attorney general office saying you compiled the statements but trump gave you bad information or gave you assumptions and they weren't right. the statements of financial inf
