Don Lemon Can't Stop Laughing As An Old Manafort Clip Comes Back To Haunt Trump
Ed Mazza, HuffPost 3 hours ago An old clip of Paul Manafort attempting to defend President Donald Trump is looking “really, really awkward” in light of the latest revelations, according to CNN’s Don Lemon .
It’s so awkward that Lemon couldn’t stop laughing as he played it... then watched it a second time and laughed even harder:
“So to be clear, Mr. Trump has no financial relationships with any Russian oligarchs,” CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell asks Manafort in the July 2016 clip.
Manafort stammers through his response.
“That’s what he said,” Manafort replies. “That’s what I said. That’s obviously what the, what our position is.”
Lemon laughed both times he played it.
“That was really, really awkward,” he concluded. “I still have no idea what he said there.”
What makes it so awkward is the revelation Thursday that former longtime Trump attorney Michael Cohen reportedly told a court that discussions on a potential Trump Tower real estate project in Moscow continued into June 2016 .

Why in heck has the damn gop in Congress not already begun the impeachment yet?
I would be happy if they would just perform the oversight that they are required to under the Constitution.
This GOP has completely placed their agenda over the country. They have let the people down.
Now the Democrats will come in and declassify transcripts and other relevant information. It will be interesting what the public does with the information they learn.
Sadly I don't imagine that Trump's base will care about the truth. They haven't so far.
Yes, the democrats can do that . It becomes more and more clear to me why you are a Trump supporter. You have no clear understanding of what each branch of government is responsible for.
Sure, death and destruction. Just kidding. Anything that will increase their personal wealth and keep them in power so they can increase their personal wealth. It's a vicious cycle.....
Well now, we don't know exactly what the "truth" is until we see ALL the evidence and information. Now that your mind has finally become inquisitive let's see ALL the information rather than taking the word of those who have an agenda from both sides.
They can damn well declassify their own Commitee hearing transcipts even from the previous congress.
This is going to get fun now.
Actually, Congress cannot declassify documents. Only the Original Classification Authority or OCA (which is the Office of the President and anyone else designated by the President to be an OCA) can do that. Even Deriviative Classifiers do not have the right to declassify documents based on an OCA's determination.
Which makes it clear that your understanding of how our government works is skewed and incorrect.
Maybe because, as opposed to the 'Experts' here on Newstalkers, they understand that there is nothing to present as articles. At least they understand the law, as opposed to our 'Experts' here.
Pretty cock sure of yourself there.
Okay, let's (and I'm pretty sure that they will) that when the Dems take over those committees they use ALL the hearing transcripts, and all the documents already there and find real articles backed by the documents of the Republican run hearings.
It would mean only one thing, The Republicans knew and hid it, making them complicent.
Gonna scream "Fake News" from the findings conducted by the Republicans?
I understand you have already decided on what the future will be and have started screaming your predictions. I'll wait and see what, if anything there is to scream about. I prefer to use real facts instead of 'what I just know' is in something I have never seen, but hey, keep knocking yourself out doing that, it does eat away at whatevber credibility you might have.
Now that you've included yourself in the group of 'experts' I mentioned, scream away. [Deleted]
O, what a tangled web we weave when first we
practise to deceive ...
