You see, I'm so loyal to people and maybe I'm loyal to a fault.
For as long as Trump has been in the public eye, he’s described himself as loyal.
Here's the thing, I'm a loyal person.
I love loyalty.
I'm loyal.
I'm a loyal person.
But now, six members of Trump’s orbit have been  indicted on a range of crimes,
from tax fraud to conspiracy against the United States.
How has Trump’s famous loyalty held up?
Early in 2019, Trump’s longtime ally and supporter,
Roger Stone was indicted on seven counts of false statements, obstruction, and witness tampering.
Before the indictment, Stone was praised by the president for his guts.
I am a fervent supporter of the president.
Even though Stone pleaded not guilty and seems unwilling to cooperate with the investigation,
Trump made sure to distance himself.
Your friend Roger Stone was just indicted for his involvement.
First of all, Roger  Stone didn't work on the campaign,
except way way at the beginning long before we're talking about.
And then there's Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime personal lawyer and “fixer”
I'll do anything to protect Mr. Trump.
When Cohen’s house was first raided by the FBI in April 2018, Trump had strong words of support.
But after Cohen started cooperating with authorities, he was a bad lawyer and a rat.
And what about the other Michael who’s been in hot water since Trump became president?
We do not need a reckless president who believes she is above the law.
Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, resigned just 24 days after Trump’s inauguration
for lying about his contacts with then-Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak .
This man has served for many years, he’s a general, he’s a — in my opinion — a very good person.
By the end of 2017, Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI
and started cooperating with the Mueller investigation.
And now, according to his former boss, Flynn was tricked into cooperating.
They took a General that they said didn't lie and they convinced him he did lie
And apparently, the only reason Mueller recommended no prison time for Flynn in December of 2018
was not because of his ‘substantial assistance’, but because
they were embarrassed that they got caught.
Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chair, is the exception that proves the rule.
This is the ultimate reality show, it’s the presidency of the United States.
A year after Manafort left the campaign, the FBI raided his house
to seize materials related to the Russia investigation.
After the raid, Trump began to distance himself from Manafort.
I know Mr. Manafort – I haven’t spoken to him in a long time, but I know him.
He was with the campaign, as you know, for a very short period of time.
Fast forward to November of 2018.
After Manafort was found guilty on eight counts, he entered into a plea deal with prosecutors,
but Mueller rescinded the deal after it was clear Manafort wasn’t actually cooperating.
With respect to Paul Manafort, who, it's very sad what's happened to Paul, the way he's being treated.
I've never seen anybody treated so poorly.
The only person Trump stood by was the only one who lost his plea deal because of his repeated lies to the FBI.
I am a very loyal person, I am an extremely loyal person, to a fault, frankly.
Trump’s loyalty is conditional on whether or not
his associates are willing to impede the Russia investigation.
consequences for the individual be damned.
