STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Regarding the question of pardons, whether Michael Cohen would accept one via Lanny Davis, that's a crazy thing that he would say. But Paul Manafort yesterday -- this was the special counsel's first win in court. He was found guilty of 8 counts of band and tax fraud. And Ainsley, I'm sure the president's probably thinking, look that poor guy got swept into this because he was my campaign manager. 

AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Right. 

DOOCY: Now, it looks like he did break the law years ago unrelated to the Russia collusion thing that they've been trying to prove, but nonetheless, he's facing legal -- he's facing a lot of time in jail simply because of the connection to Donald Trump.
