[Blitzer:] We now know that Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign chairman, now a convicted felon, is a frequent visitor to the special counsel's office since reaching a deal with prosecutors in early September. Manafort has come to Robert Mueller's office no less than nine times over the past month or so to talk with investigators. Here to discuss, CNN legal analyst, Jack Quinn, who served as White House council during the Clinton administration, and Sara Murray, a CNN political correspondent. Jack, nine times in the last months alone, what does that say to you?
[Jack Quinn, Cnn Legal Analyst:] It says he has a lot to offer to the special counsel. And he's giving it to him. Paul Manafort, his importance is evident by the effort the special counsel has gone to with him. He can talk about the Trump Tower meeting and the president's awareness of that, if any. He can talk about the change in the party platform at the convention. All of these things are critical because they tied together these activities in Ukraine where the Russian involvement and the platform and so on.
[Blitzer:] The allegation of collusion because he worked during the campaign.
[Quinn:] Absolutely. Yes. It doesn't mean he makes the case but he can speak to those issues and tie them together and help provide clarity.
[Blitzer:] And there's indications now that he's quiet before the storm, that shortly after the midterm elections, that Robert Mueller will be releasing more indictments. Roger Stone, you're doing interviewing on that.
[Sara Murray, Cnn Political Correspondent:] That's right. We're waiting to see what Paul Manafort offers and whether there might be more players. But we know there has been this ongoing investigation surrounding Roger Stone. He has not been contacted by Mueller's team. And sources close to the investigation, close to the president say they believe once we get past the midterm there could be more criminal indictments coming. What they will say and who they will involve, we're waiting to see. And the big question is, when are we getting this report and what is Robert Mueller's report going to entail.
[Quinn:] And Stone links to Assange with links to Russia. And Stone and Manafort were business partners at one time. These folks are all tied together.
[Murray:] Right.
[Blitzer:] What do you make of this. Sara, I'll get your thoughts first. Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general of the United States, gives an interview of the "Wall Street Journal." Says very positive things, upbeat things about the Mueller investigation in contrast to the president who says it's a ruse, a witch-hunt and an awful situation.
[Murray:] I think Rod Rosenstein wants to do forecasting that we are running a legitimate investigation he says the cases we're making are based on evidence and people will see they're appropriately using the resources. So he's offering a counternarrative to the president who calls this a witch-hunt. At the same time, he knows he serves at the pleasure of the president.
[Blitzer:] How do you see that?
[Quinn:] I think, number one, he wants to ensure the American people that there's an investigation that was done fairly and independently. Secondly, it's important to bear in mind, Rod Rosenstein's future does not lie with Donald Trump. It lies elsewhere and he wants to come out of this with his integrity and credibility intact.
[Blitzer:] We'll see if he comes out after the midterms with a job and if his boss, Jeff Sessions, has a job because potentially there could be a lot of activity going on.
[Quinn:] Don't bet on it.
[Blitzer:] Don't bet on what?
[Quinn:] That either is around, come January.
[Blitzer:] I suspect you're right. Guys, thank you very much. Up next, no electricity, stagnant water, barbed fences. Refugees living in grave conditions a year after the genocide in Myanmar. We'll go there.
