Summary
Paul Manafort was sentenced to 47 months in jail. It's a VERY lenient sentence for someone who has done the damage that he's done. It goes against the recommended sentencing that Robert Mueller suggested. Now the question is... Will Trump pardon him?
Democrats continue to form a circular firing squad around Rep Ilhan Omar. She said nothing wrong, but that didn't stop House Democrats from forcing a vote to condemn her comments in an "anti-hate" resolution. They took the GOP's bait once again. Shameful.
We talk to the author of Killing Journalism, Joe Strupp, Rep Dan Kildee (D-MI) and Jennifer Haberkorn from the LA Times!
