i know nothing about wikileaks. it's not my thing. >> wikileaks, i love wikileaks.ow manafort well. paul manafort. oh good, you made it. paul manafort has done a fantastic -- >> joe, i can give you four more of those. i could give you eight more. i could give you a lot more. stormy daniel, gordon sondland. it's a clear pattern. >> yeah, listen, and it's a mistake that politicians make all the time. all we have to do is say i know the guy, i've met him a few times. he's a friend of so and so. he's rudy's friend. but by saying he doesn't know them, every time a new picture gets released, every time there's something, another tidbit, it takes on this outsized importance. so, it's bad to have a president who's a liar, but this is just dumb politically. and i think you pair that up as carrie was saying with what gao did today which was lev parnas may not be the best witness here. he's under indictment. but gao is pristine, white glove, everybody in town knows who they are and their non-partisan nature. and they've taken away the fundamental foundation of what was left of

burisma is the equivalent of wikileaks and what is different is the awareness is different. hopefully we've moved beyond the 400 pound person and the president is back to trusting his own intelligence agencies. >> how concern that the two gang of eight, chuck schumer and nancy pelosi weren't briefed about any of this. >> right. well the awareness is the key. right because let's be fair about this, in 2016 one of the major dispensaries of that hacked information was the mainstream news media which hung on every release that wikileaks did in a very strategic way. no matter how vanilla it was, had got headlines in a strategic way that worked through the united states media. we have the awareness now too. we know who hacked it and are where it is coming from and we know that russian is nobody for doctoring documents and also like betsy said, there is much more awareness in the cyber community. twitter is rooting out hopefully a lot of trolls, i'm going to be an optimist for now. >> perhaps not facebook but twitter ruling that out. charlie sykes thank you for spending time with u

wikileaks founder julian assange was in a u.k. court today. he is fighting extradition to the united states to face charges of espionage. wrongdoinged claiming he was acting as a journalist entitled to first amendment protection. he has already served a 50 week prison statins -- sentence for jumping bail. global news 24 hours a day, on air and at tictoc on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 this is bloomberg. toid: coming up, count down the caucuses. with only three weeks to go, bernie sanders takes the lead for the first time as cory booker drops out. we discussed with our political panel. this is next. this is "balance of power" on bloomberg radio. ♪ this is "balance of power" on bloomberg tv and radio. i am david westin. the once crowded field for the iowa caucuses is narrowing again with cory booker just announcing he is dropping out. there with more on where things stand in the race is a politics totor, who i am delighted say is in new york. this is big news, but not necessarily surprising. runnin

a living in the campaign strategy but it seems like -- [inaudible] >> the running scam, vick -- wikileaks [inaudible] they will not view this as a legitimate election and there's a reason for that. the election is being manipulated. you will see some deep fake scandals that will blow your mind. >> a question you said the idea is to tell the voters who trump really is but how do you convince people who say i know who he is but we have been losing the cultural war for so long. the squad is gone. you are not going to move evangelicals. executive orders trumps supporters are realizing republicans used to lose their mind over barack obama and executive orders. i used to say all the time i don't think that it's wise for the president, for obama to govern by executive order because someday a republican will be in office and that is exactly what happened. the trump voters are starting to realize that and he's communicating that to them saying they will overturn my executive orders. now, that is what the executive orders are insane crony capital giveaways and the friends and family. even though th

just delete hillary and put in biden and it is the equivalent of wikileaks. >> laura: that diagram.e to state that i personally -- if i had to bet the farm on it, if i had a farm, i don't believe any of these details. at least not as their laid out. especially considering the source. this looks a lot like a planted story meant to pre-spin the 2020 election and maybe even provide cover for joe biden should any inconvenient details come out. if they come out they can say, it's russia. let's consider for a moment the worst-case scenario, that the russians did hack burisma. all it proves is that, hunter biden should never have gotten involved with a corrupt company. susceptible to these types of intrusions. especially while his father was the sitting vice president. here now with me, the investigative journalist, fox nation host, lara logan. noah shackman tweeted about "the new york times" and, "i hope my fellow editors will think hard, really hard, harder than they did in 2016 before publishing any material hacked by the russians." it seems they haven't learned a lot from the first rus

article one of impeachment in the section entitled prior conduct, one paragraph in which manafort and wikileaks i mentioned, the 2-page session after 120 pages of merit discussion is shedding light on articles of impeachment. >> what about the position, considering other articles of impeachment ongoing? >> let me say a couple things about that, the representation by house lawyers in this course, that there would be articles of impeachment if they got the information or the house -- >> prosecutors don't say that. >> i thought i heard them say that. >> they were carefully scripted in the mcgann case in this case which they say they would consider whether to have other questions considering whether to do new articles of impeachment. let's take a separate question from a different angle. the articles of impeachment approved by the house itself, the actual voted on articles of impeachment come in article 2 the house told us what the point of the inquiry was, the house has conducted them in impeachment inquiry focused on the president's alleged -- >> talking about those in particular, it doesn't say

like the 18th-century wikileaks. [laughter] looking backwards, i already knew there were good people and government on both sides. i'm older and i hope, wiser.i already knew there were good people. i knew there were generous people. mostly because of the generous support. i knew all that. the question that i would ask publicly. i don't do that much of this. do we need to have a mean-spirited foreign policy toward haiti? of course we don't. i don't think we're stuck in the same pattern necessarily. i think there are people of goodwill. now one of them has become the most powerful countries in the world and one has become very trampled upon and poor. it had those origins in one sense. so that trajectory has pulled these people apart when they should have been allied. as the haitians were with the independence movement. my answer to that question which is as usual, someone said, paul, concision is not your strong suit. so my answer is we don't have to be stuck in that. - - [indiscernible]. based on, the knowledge of tha

wikileaks released emails from dnc they went on the move, and went with the dossier to get the fbi probehad not admitted potentially anything but they are in deep trouble. why is why the lawsuit was filed for carter page. page's lawyer says this is just the start. i frankly expect the lawsuit will be against the federal government, against the fbi and the doj. liz: you can't sue a government, james comey is out of office, could he be sued? >> you can sue individual government officials under particular federal statute and particular case precedent, a case called bivens action. i think that will be the next lawsuit against these government officials. liz: wow, hans, we'll have you back on. thanks for your insights. come back soon. next up we take you to the border. the trump administration new push to get the transportation industries involved to stop human trafficking. the story next. my money should work as hard as i do. so i use my freedom unlimited card to buy all the latest tech stuff. today, i'm earning on a charger. so, just the charger then? ummm... ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ yeah! ..

yeah, look, they took e-mails, they took internal communications, and they gave it to proxies like wikileaksind of strawman operations like goose fur and d.c. leaks, and drip drip drip, the information in the final weeks of the campaign and did quite a bit of damage to hillary clinton's campaign. again, in this case we don't know what they were going for and what they took. >> no, i know, you have to caveat it with that. you made the point a second ago that president trump is essentially the nicest president to vladimir putin thus far. do you think, you know, because of that or in part because of that and we see the, you know, what did or didn't happen in the week of 2016, do you think the russians just -- that they're -- they aren't afraid of any consequences for doing this again? >> well, there were sanctions that were implemented against them in the wake of 2016, including congressional sanctions, or congressionally mandated sanctions, but they obviously weren't enough to deter them from going further and using the exact same methods they used in 2016. that's one. number two is, again, ev

second, that wikileaks campaign emails an hour later, third, that two days thereafter donald trump would invite the media to watch his debate prep tonal have him surprise every een by presenting three women who each claimed sexual harassment against bill clinton. ladies and gentlemen, here is the one certainty, the only thing we know for sure about the 2020 election, that we really don't know what's about to happen, unless you're this guy. >>> now to iran. both iran's president and the supreme leader have vowed revenge for the killing of general qasem soleimani. the u.s. is deploying thousands of troops to the region and cities are monitoring the events overseas which leads me to this week's survey question. i want to know what you think. go to my website. smerconish.com. i want you to answer this. was president trump justified in ordering the assassination of iranian general qasem soleimani. joining me now is analyst peter bergen. he just wrote this people for cnn.com, the killing of iran's general soleimani is hugely significant. he's also the author of the book "trump and his generals

the comey letter, wikileaks disclosures.ut any conversation about her sex or gender. also ended up sooep seeing in 2016 scores of female democratic candidates ended up winning. to me i think a fair reading of 2016 is pay attention to what happened in the last couple of weeks. hallie, actually there's a bigger story going on. we're 18 days from the iowa caucuses. this conflict between bernie sanders and elizabeth warren has played out for four days. this might be one of the closing arguments they end up having being in the united states senate for the foreseeable future. when is the next time they will be in iowa while pete buttigieg and joe biden might have ito themselves. >> thanks for being with us. you nailed it on the impeachment front. that is the story today. we'll take you back live to capitol hill ahead of those proceedings set to kick off in just about an hour and change. also where speaker flaens pelosi is bo out to step up to that podium taking questions from reporters. really we think any minute here. we've also

the united states wants assange extradited so that the wikileaks co—founder can be tried over allegationsan, ithink us. how is he? he's not very good. i mean, i think it's astonishing, really, the way he's been treated at the moment. being kept in isolation, 23 hours a day. kept on tranquillisers. he doesn't really know what's going on half the time. what we are seeing is a series of court appearances that are going on at the moment. that will determine how the extradition case is to be handled next month. but what we've seen so far has been a joke. i mean, the first magistrate that he saw called him a narcissist, we found out actually that that magistrate was, well, she should never have heard the case in the first place because it i don't know where you are going with this but i would prefer if you don't. the last hearing, which was to set the time that was needed to hear the case next month, the magistrate turned round to the us attorneys and said, i thought you wanted to get this over with quickly? which shows collusion between the parties. it seems like he's in a kangaroo court. he h

we remember 2016 in the wikileaks dump showed two senior white house reporters colluding for lack of you need to know about politico. in thes this case, headline twek something very common. it happens. if you change the entire premise of the headline from major win for trump to, hey, this has got a long way to go and it's really not that big of a deal. steve: right. >> this is why trust in media has now become four letter word that starts with s and ends in t. steve: sleet, maybe. you worked in a number of numerous, how doenewsrooms how e go from major win for trump and then changing to yeah we have got to get out the wrenches and fix that thing. >> i know in the case of the hill i provide the content and editor usually does the headline. for the headline to be changed that means somebody senior had to go in wait a minute, this is something very positive for the president during impeachment and we can't have that look, the bottom line is during impeachment we have seen the study showing that 93% of coverage has been negative. i get you have to cover impeachment, huge story it, doesn'

we remember john, wikileaks dumps.ed john podesta what should i ask jeb bush in interview. then in a debate cnbc hosts, asks donald trump first question, front runner, is this a comic book campaign you're running? he is come back correspond denned. after you will that is revealed, cnn hires that guy if come on. stuart: you heard congresswoman maxine waters, talking about endless impeachment. >> right. stuart: i think that will be very bad news for cnn and msnbc because if we're forced to watch that endlessly that's right ratings would tank,. >> did you watch "jeopardy" last week when adam schiff was one of the answers. they put up his face. i yelled charles growed inch. i was wrong. no one bothered to answer that was adam schiff. that shows you what a bubble story. adam schiff is star in cable news, but to the american people not to much. pert pet all impeachment for democrats. president's numbers have fon up since start of impeachment while pelosi's has gone down. he is a few for results. if you look at scoreboards. i
