peter strzok, lisa page, the steel industry, tariffs. you know what he hasn't tweeted about since friday? his former campaign chairman paul manafort taking a deal with the special counsel. matthew millerief spokesman for the justice department. aaron blake is a senior political writer with "the washington post." good do see you both. matt, before the news, the president let's say is vocal about manafort's case, asking whether he was treated worst than the mobster al capone. why the silence now? >> i think the president and the legal team if you watched rudy giuliani this weekend, he was the same way. i don't think they know what to say about what happened on friday largely because they don't know what paul manafort is saying to bob mueller and the team f. you look at what paul manafort went and said in court, that's one thing, but if i were the president and the president's attorneys and anyone with the president who has their own individual legal jeopardy, roger stone, donald trump jr., i would be very sinnconcerned abo the fact that paul manafort as early as monday or tuesday of last week answering questions and talking to the special counsel's team. the president has the familiar s

according to your reporting, peter, does this speech yesterday represent a real ascendancy for john bolton, along with stephen millerdrafting these epic speeches, but john bolton's voice seems to have been implanted in parts of that speech. >> it is, yes. obviously right now bolton is probably the most important voice in their ear when it comes to foreign policy other than perhaps steven miller particularly on immigration issues. you heard bolton's view about iran in that speech. iran has been an important element of john bolton's world philosophy going back years, so the confrontation, the desire to sort of take on iran is going that john bolton has been add vieding republican presidents to do for quite a while. remember, no speech is going to constrain president trump. no speech is going to define even how he approaches things. a year ago he was full of balcosity towards north korea, today he's praising kim jong-un as terrific and practically his best friend on the world stage. it's very much something that is a one-man presidency. a president who can shift on a dime when it comes to foreign policy depending on ho
