Former Prosecutor: Paul Manafort Will Be Found Guilty | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

Can you hear that noise in the distance? Sounds like somebody shouting 'LOCK HIM UP!'

[Refreshb]

Shocker. A Deadbeat Republican who doesn't want to pay his Taxes. So the goal is to not pay any at all.

[justinutube]

Great guest. Intelligent questions and commentary from Ari as always

[rickrose]

Ari does a helluva job. This was useful and informative. From a prosecutor with extensive experience before this judge.

[colonelkurtz]

Take a drink for every person connected to Trump who has been indicted, pled guilty, is on trial, fired, lied to FBI, or resigned. Have paramedics standing by...

[bryanstewart]

There isn't enough zeros on the planet to guess Paul's chances of going free.

[wanderingampharos]

Paul Manafort: And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for Mueller and the DOJ.

[DAYBROK]

anyone for a nice chorus of "another one bites the dust"

[sigmundfreud]

He's criminal life caught up to him like Trump's. "ladies and gentlemen, we got him."

[frankzappa]

Help Mueller put a bow on this package...Show your voice - vote the mid-terms!

[billyrock]

No kidding. The evidence is overwhelming. Jarad and Donny Jr. have the same fate.

[thealaskapirate]

Ari Melber is one of my Favorite news guys because he is a good lawyer too and knows how to keep an interview Focused and on point and witty enough to spot challenge and engage everyone he interviews, plus he is funny. I really like Ari Melbers show.

[josephgrant]

Manafort: Orange is the new Republican.

[theomen]

I wished pundits would stop referring to Manafort as a "master strategist". Would a master strategist be headed for prison for tax evasion?

[timothymccaskey]

Lobbyists play fast and loose with legal matters but Paul Manafort pushes the envelope to the extreme.

[krasniusha]

Manafort - once a slimeball, always a slimeball. If they prosecuted him back then, the air would be a lot cleaner by now.

[susanmonty]

The whole world will be glad to see the end of Trump

[jamesdunn]

Strzok was fired by the FBI today and Trump is gloating, but....not for long. Manafort will help bring about Trump's own firing.

[CJ-vixm]

Ahhhh, so this is not his first rodeo!

[kooma]

One of the most informative and experienced guests I've seen on MSNBC. Get this gentleman more air time!!!
