clinton's e-mails, not specif specifically about the manafort pier, do you have a connection between paul manafort, carter page, russia, ukraine, all lumped in together. thereto was the reporting from the "new york times" that a ledger found in ukraine showed cash payments to manafort from the ukraine president yanukovych's party from mr. yanukovych's political party from 2012. it does seem to be ri fe for investments would it surprise you if the fbi is not investigating these connections between carter page, paul manafort, russian hacking? >> well, certainly on the basis of the analysis i did in writing my boar, you know, the fbi has two sides. there's the regular gum shoe side and then there's count intel tense side. those are the people who would take a statement made by jason leopold calling attention to donald trump's request for russia's intelligence services to dabble in the u.s. elections which would raise a lot of eyebrows in an organization like that. and if it were connected to paul manafort and of his campaign or by extension donald trump himself in the context with the russian oligarc

during this election, the fbi was investigating paul manafort's role and his connections to russia.o not understand why if they think everything is up and up, why they want to shift information, why they don't want to share this information. it does make people wonder what is going on. >> one more question before i bring everybody else in. do you -- what do you think of the effort by a number of democrats to urge republican electors to vote for someone else? >> look, i think the most important thing here is really just getting the information about russia. i know there are a lot of electors who are interested in a lot of things. i think the request to have a briefing about this is an appropriate request. >> first of all, let's be clear. the cia said russia have, quote, a single purpose. that is to say the idea that this was all about helping trump, they repeatedly targeted the cia, said both parties were trying to get into their systems. let me finish. they said this was about an important part of the russian hacking was aimed at undermining confidence in the american electoral syst

i don't want to talk about who i'm speaking to, but i'm aware of what's going on. >> on friday paul manafort, donald trump's former campaign chair, distanced himself from the transition following reports he had returned to advise on donald trump's cabinet picks. manafort formally left the trump campaign in august amid questions about his ties to a pro-russian party in the ukraine. and in november he was subject to an fbi inquiry about his foreign business connections, connections which rely on his expertise that polish the notorious list of strong men around the world. among the list of clients who called an manafort to handle their scandals and massage the issue, dictators in the dominican republic, nigeria, equatorial begin and somalia and the newest addition, america's very own wannabe strong man donald trump. matt welch is back with me awit our other guests. i want to throw this out and throw it out to the panel.

or he doesn't like the fact he is facing the very intelligence agencies that have donald trump, paul manafortpage under investigation for their ties to russia. those are the only explanations. and i think that is pretty ironic, the last one. eric: like an ostrich putting his head in the sand, marianne? >> anyone who is the commander-in-chief of the united states of america is obligated to be held accountable and fully informed. donald trump bys choosing to shun the briefings and saying he will put his own people in the agencies is doing just that putting every american life at risk in the process and that is irresponsible and dereliction of duty. eric: katie, will american national security be endangered. >> it is important to point out there is no evidence that the intelligence communities are investigating trump himself. >> that is wildly published in "new york times" and "washington post" and everywhere. >> the russian connection to meddling in the election you about in terms of national security i know that donald trump is an efficient guy and i know he doesn't like to waste a lot of time

he had a lot of patience for paul manafort, until he didn't. >> the patience is not -- >> all of a suddenu, but you're causing too much -- >> but this idea that there should be a kind of nationalist international, as odd as that -- >> weirdly odd, yeah. >> is not one that is unique to mike flynn. steve bannon has talked about creating a populist alliance -- >> spoken at conferences internationally in europe, about this, right? this is as much bannon as it is flynn. but i just wonder how much flynn can, when you've got the national security community and the foreign policy community, even on the republican side, quietly trying to undermine the guy. >> but the nationshtional commu and the foreign policy community very much worked against donald trump's election. i think you're right about, you know, trump always has these feuding power centers under him. but when he thinks someone's a kindred spirit, he is willing to go to bat for that person. >> and it's someone who's been with him since the very beginning. not just a lot of loyalty, but like-mindedness there. >> but if someone is taking t

. >> that hurt paul manafort.ame a story, good-bye. >> it's like theodore roosevelt, had to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. >> but how would you -- is trump thinking the right way on that front, when staff gets too much press, it's a problem? >> you know, chuck, there was a time in american politics where if staff showed up in photographs, they got in trouble in campaigns. and you know, what we can make america great again here, okay? >> when was their last appearance? >> but it does speak to the people around him and the roles that they understand they have to play with trump. so when you look at that inner circle of bannon and priebus, those are two guys who are not going to be looking for a camera or that public conversation. that suits trump just fine. and i think if whether you believe what happened with kellyanne and her comments about mitt romney, whether it was part of the narrative, the quickness with which that pulled back to get her back behind the curtain i think speaks v

and you know, i remember even paul manafort said well he likes to be out on the edges then move his waythe middle. have you al gore and rob emmanuel coming to meet with donald trump. >> that's right. >> and kellyanne conway said that president obama and donald trump have spent 30 hours on the phone together. >> that's a lot of hours. >> is that possible? >> that's a lot of hours. >> i haven't spent 30 hours on the phone since eighth grade. i don't know what they are talking about, chris, but they have a lot to talk about. >> imagine twisting the cord around your fing eaer an talkino prend friends. >> that's it. >> there was a caricature of him that political opponents that hillary clinton and the democrats laid out in the press, he is a nazi, a monster, evil, drink the blood of the children of america. and then he showed up and went oh, he is kind of funny. i kind of like him. >> so you start there, it can only go up. >> right. and he is being moderate and making cooing noises that liberals like even though he is appointing people that are really conservative. >> fascinating. thank you

happened to corey lewandowski, paul manafort, the second campaign manager. from my understanding talking to sources, mike flynn knows it could be trouble. >> about this fake news, why doesn't trump come out and denounce it? does it -- does he hurt some of his base when he does that? is he walking a fine line here? what's he doing? >> i don't know what his motive is for not denouncing it. but i can tell you, when you watch a lot of his news was when the mainstream media didn't say he had a chance. that's fake news. all this stuff. i think they're playing a dangerous game of conflating. incorrect analysis and trying to conflate and say, oh, yeah, there's the media complaining again. i think they always want to create, look, i think in donald trump's mind, he doesn't mind if there is doubt planted in the public about mainstream media. i think he sees that as a helpful foil to him. and i think that's what makes covering him a challenge. let's be honest. >> he likes his twitter. >> there's that, too. he talks directly, but i think, you know, the fact that they ha

kellyanne conway were coming in to right the ship after corey lewandowski went by the wayside, paul manafort so on, spicer, prooeiebus, that came in toward the end. they'll be calling a lot of shots and dealing with folks like us on a daily basis. >> yeah, they will. a huge deal. congrats to them. jim acosta, thank you so much. >> you bet. >>> let's turn to other news just into us, a senior official in the trump transition telling cnn the incoming administration is mulling a double digit tariff on imports. the move a not to trump's campaign promise to create jobs but one business source that could spark a trade war so let me bring in cnn politics reporter jeremy diamond who got the latest. we're talking double digits, jeremy. we had initially been reporting five. what is it now? >> i spoke with a senior transition official who said it could be as high as 10%. certainly they're mulling higher -- more than a 5% transfer and what they're talking about is an across-the-board tariff on imports which is smoking folks in the big business community, especially a lot of consumer goods that rely on im

former trump campaign chairman paul manafort is in studio 57 with an inside look at the transition. >with an emergency on your airplane. we will go inside a simulator where crews are trained to get everyone out in less than 90 seconds. >>> we begin with a look at today's eye opener, your

she took over as his campaign manager after paul manafort was dismissed.he is currently senior adviser to trump's transition team. >>> today the federal reserve kicks off a two-day policy meeting and it's widely expected that interest rates are about to drive. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger breaks down how this affects our cash flow. how exactly will this, um, [ indiscernible ] impact savers and investors? >> reporter: i would say that savers would be winners except that after last year's interest rate increase, banks passed very little of the increase on to their customers. eventually, we expect savers should see benefits of higher rates. now, stock investors should win if the fed goes slowly and the economy improves. that's a good combo. historically shares of banks, energy, industrials and technology do quite well amid rising rates. but remember, when rates rise, bond prices fall. so the bond part of your portfolio you're going to feel some pain there. >> what about people who are borrowing money? >> reporter: well, you know, borrowers are a

positions is a really good thing for everybody concerned, and also, kellyanne conway came in after paul manafort and she really lent some calm and some organization into a campaign that was very much in disarray and whenever donald trump seemed to be on message or really reading from the teleprompter, kellyanne -- people saw kellyanne's footprints on that or fingerprints on that. i think it's a good thing. yes, because of all of the reasons you mentioned, i think it's very important to have some campaign staff in the white house doing some governing, but another reason it's important is for that institutional knowledge. someone who has a very clear memory of the promises made on the campaign so that they can sort of make sure those promises are kept. >> i want to talk about not the person who ended up running donald trump's campaign but his first campaign manager, corey lewandowski. we learned yesterday, corey hosh is opening up a consulting firm in washington, d.c. along with barry bennett. they will be hired by people to offer advice on government and offer advice on the incoming trump adminis

corey lewandowski, paul manafort. >> what happened to corey lewandowski? >> that's a very good question. he still talks to donald trump and they're still on friendly terms, but the reality is donald trump has been someone when there has been a steep enough political price to pay, there have been times when he's been perfectly happy to throw people under the bus. whether there that will be michael flynn or not, who knows. hard to predict that. it's clear to me that that is the most of all the appointments we've seen, including steve bann bannon, has the most fragile undergirdings and could easily give way in the not totally didn't future. >> john heilemann, i want you to stay for the whole show but i know -- >> i can. >> no, get out of here. >> you have a cocktail? i'll stay all day. >> it's 1:00. it's past noon. >> it's cocktail hour somewhere. >> thank you so much. >>> time for our microsoft pulse question of the day, get you guys involved out there. nbc news exclusively reveals u.s. intelligence officials believe with a high level of confidence that russ

clay about the legitimacy of the trump election in the sense that if we have clear evidence that paul manafort and general flynn and the last press conference in july and he turned to the camera and said, hey, russians, go hack hillary's e-mails, there is enough to see the intelligence reports an let them make the decision. >> and you haven't seen any evidence. >> i haven't seen the intelligence reports. but certainly -- >> one last quick question. do you really think that hillary clinton lost the election because of russian interference? because right after the election, you were quoted as saying, we lost touch with white working class rural america, two-thirds of americans think we're on the wrong track. you didn't talk about russian interference and you said that the democratic party is out of touch? it. >> well i think there are many reasons why she lost the election and the russias are a piece of it. and i don't know how many votes it moved. so the commission as clay talked about and let's see the reports we hope to see. >> thank you for both coming in today. we'll see how the electoral c

however, not only did paul manafort change the agenda for the republican party, what about this othery who knew about the leaks before they even came out? i think that might be interesting story of 2016. i will hang up and listen. thanks. host: that was j in cap, florida. -- tampa, florida. guest: this will certainly be interesting year. as we said, the republicans have a lot of latitude to implement their agenda. it is not in mystery as to what they want to do. we will see how much the american people are pleased about it when they repeal the a portable care act, when they may possibly get roe v wade repealed and make abortion illegal in the country -- that is the agenda we are going to get. i think republicans will disagree on how popular those things will be, but we will see what happens. guest: i believe that the republicans with president trump passave the opportunity to much of the majority he promised he would when running for office. if they do not do that, they are going to make a of voters very angry. if they do do that, i think it will make america more prosperous and a bet
