company that released it r.t. samir khan has the story. but fusion g.p.s. will now have to answer questions regarding its role in compiling the still dossier be very dossier that made headlines a world wide for its unverified salacious allegations about donald trump before his inauguration now lawyers will be able to ask a fusion g.p.s. representatives about its clients how they verify their claims and why they hired christopher steele and they'll also have the opportunity to find out the nature of the firm's interactions with government officials and media outlets now the russian entrepreneur is a lawyer who filed these claims against policy and still called it a victory this ruling given everything that we had hoped for after a year of trying everything they could think of to avoid being deposed fusion is finally going to have to sit down and answer our questions fusion g.p.s. hasn't revealed any information regarding the dossier claiming that it would violate confidentiality clauses in free speech rights but for some background the
8:05 pm
firm was hired in april two thousand and sixteen by the clinton campaign and the d.n.c. to investigate trump's allegedly to russia for a fever about one point eight million dollars then fusion hired former m i six operative christopher steele and then buzz feed to publish the dossier even though it wasn't verified now fusion g.p.s. will have until august thirty first to sit in for the deposition but it's possible that the revelations that will come out of that hearing will be more scandalous than the dossier itself. a growing number of public figures are getting into trouble due to their own tweets boyko explains. it's become a sport watch someone climb to the top and then knock them off the perch using their own less than savory quotes like t.v. actor roseanne barr who lost her long time job a.b.c. following a very racist tweet it also happened to katie mchugh

a journalist who used to write for the breitbart website after her tweets came to light the same fate be felled the. stars of the go with no job instagram account they used to have a talk show but it was canceled because they were old. and islamophobia tweets resurfaced on top of that left leaning liberal media outlet found out that the sisters have a conservative news pundit for a mother who likes donald trump a lot in fact one thing all those disgraced stars have in common is that they're politically conservative although recently the liberal camp has been hit by a string of very similar scandals james gotten big hollywood film director made guardians of the galaxy turns out ten years ago he was making jokes about rape and paedophilia his bosses at disney had to sack him the creator of reckon movie end of
8:07 pm
the harmon town podcast dan harmon he had to apologize after an old sketch where he rapes a baby doll called the attention of the toy to spare the host of the daily show travel no recently faced criticism when his old sketch poking fun at aboriginal women in australia cropped up online who dug all this up the conservatives to find some politically incorrect skeletons in the liberals closets might you know of it all right blog keen to get revenge on the left was the one who found the james gun tweet he's loving the fact that the lefties are getting a taste of their own outraged medicine. i enjoyed just the wrong human visceral reaction of jumping into the arena and just swinging the hammer and seeing what is left over afterwards twitter is just modern day gladiatorial combat but there is a slight difference in how the conservatives online misdemeanors and the left wing liberals offensive jokes are playing out trevor noah and dan harmon have managed to
8:08 pm
hold on to their jobs james gunn did get fired but a lot of the so-called liberal elite standing up for him james gunn is one of the most loving caring good natured people i have ever met he's made mistakes we all have i'm not ok with what's happening to him james gunn i think you for your towel and your decency and your evolution as a man i'm pausing myself to take everything in the forest because of term i just want everyone to know i love all members of my geo t.g. family some have even started a petition to rehire him the twitter sphere wasn't quite as forgiving when it came to roseanne barr's hateful language shame on you the real roseanne and a.b.c. network not a single apology can get me to respect your despicable racist character and racism
8:09 pm
in mainstream media now i'm hurt embarrassed and disappointed the racist and distasteful comments from rosie are inexcusable a.b.c. and disney do the right thing there is still boned reason the age of trump that cannot be crossed thank you for putting values above money roseanne herself has picked up on it i'm disgusted to read all the support for james guns paedophile jokes as the same people supported blackly sue me for a joke they didn't even understand digging up dirt is one thing but it looks like it's more likely to stick if you're on the right side of the political spectrum. wiki leaks founder julian assange may soon have to leave the ecuadorian embassy and longdon where he's been holed up for more than six years the president of ecuador lenin moreno's said the stalemate has gone on for too long. she but this situation cannot go on forever and sanjay will eventually have to go all right it will keep

8:11 pm
but they have confirmed that negotiations have generally taken place and are continuing to take place to resolve the matter lamoriello himself it has to be said it's not a big fan of assad she's criticized him describing him as a stone in the shoe as a hacker labeled as an inherited problem inherited because of course assad was granted asylum under the presidency of air now though from with this administration it has been far from smooth sailing for the whistleblower for a person to stay confined like that for so long is tantamount to a human rights violation the only concern i have is that i have never agreed with the sundries activity i don't agree with hacking private e-mails to be able to obtain information no matter how valuable it is to expose certain undesirable acts of governments all people of course six years of confinement have taken their. toll on a song to have been concerns about his welfare just last month in fact foreign office
8:12 pm
minister alan duncan expressed those concerns to parliament stating assurances would be sought about his welfare should he leave the embassy saw and use internet access was recently cut off and the visits available to him by third parties have also been limited leaving very much questions both from the public and the media about just how and when this six year saga will finally come to an end.

justice. was granted political asylum back in twenty twelve by ecuador's then president rafael correa he spoke to r.t. about the latest twist in the case. that a songes actions were absolutely unlawful the state has a right to keep secrets assigned was granted asylum not as an apology for his actions it was because there were no guarantees that the investigation would be held in the proper manner and now marina says dialogue is needed ecuadorans know what that means is total hypocrisy. no talks about dialogue or making deals behind the scenes he already has an agreement with us on what will happen to the sons and now he is just trying to sweeten the pill by talking about dialogue but i'm afraid and i said it's a few months ago that the days of his songes presence in an embassy almost over. if he leaves the embassy without a guarantee of safety he will end up in u.s.
8:15 pm
