quote, facts, it's clear there's hitting communications between trump and alfa bank. quote, these contemporaneous communications, if it's the researchers good faith belief, number one, there was a career communications channel between alfa, trump organization and spectrum health. a number two, the existence of such a channel was predication for and relevant to an investigation of potential criminal law violations. and so, yes, therefore, they brought it to the fbi as they should have. again, this is from a letter sent to the justice department. sent to special counsel john durham and two attorney general merrick garland that we review today. i personally reviewed it. this is a letter from a lawyer from one of these technical experts who's basically outed by the special counsel, john durham. he's a computer researcher who is now being hounded and threatened constantly, and because durham cast these public aspersions against him and his colleagues. that this part of the russia investigation was some faux something they made up. they concocted this hose because they're ba

alfa bank and russia was saying it was phony. that there was not a internet back channel.ting hotel spam email. they had a computer scientist on it, from three companies working on this. university tech he can period o, someone accessed executive branch data, the pentagon darpa to try to prove this. this seems like a conspiratorial push to get trump nailed over trump russia when evidence didn't exist but they tried to use power in the government to do it. what do you say? >> this is awful. what you have is hillary clinton back in 2016 and her campaign, they have access to the levers of power of the united states government and they used them against a private citizen, her political opponent, to manufacture evidence and to delegitimatize him not only during the campaign but during the four years of his presidency. this is a gross abuse that deserves to be fixed and the american public, it should not be a partisan matter. it should be completely outraged at the behavior of our institutions to be weaponized in this way. i hope john durham gets to the bottom of this. elizabeth

it's clear there's hidden communications between trump and alfa bank. these contemporaneous communications convince the researchers that number one there was a covert communications channel between alfa, the trump organization and spectrum health and the existence of a channel was relevant to an investigation of potential criminal law violations. and so, yes, therefore they brought it to the fbi as they should have. again, this is from a letter sent to the justice department, sent to special counsel john durham and to attorney general merrick garland that we reviewed today. i personally reviewed it. this is a letter from a lawyer for one of these technical experts who was outed by john durham, a computer researcher who is being hounded and threatened constantly because durham cast these public aspersions against him and his colleagues. that this russia investigation was something they made it, they're bad actors and knew it was false but pushed it against trump anyway. that doesn't appear to be at all what happened. but those people's lives are being de

this is the fake alfa bank, russia bank talking to trump's organization computers when the fbi said thating spam. so could it be, could it lead way to the top? is that what they're covering up? >> well it is hard to know. i don't want to speculate too much. it is certainly of interest to know what a president said or didn't say when it comes to investigating someone running for president. the overall sensitivity from the situation. the bottom line, shadows of all this, jim comey, andy mccabe's fbi is it becoming a politicized weapon for one party. their willingness to accept bogus information to launch probes for political damage -- liz: can they just launch probes on their own? could they have launched probes on their own or they need the president saying yes do it? >> they would need, for something that sensitive they would need someone up the chain. not necessarily the president but someone would have to be in the know early on. liz: jim trusty, good to see you. come back soon. >> all right. liz: still to come this hour, the border crisis is getting more and more dangerous. criminal c

elizabeth: this is about the trump organization computers talking supposedly to russia's alfa bank. going after michael sussman, the democrat representative, the lawyer for the democrat hillary campaign he pleaded not guilty to an indictment. is he trying to flip michael sussman in order to go after people like jake sullivan, biden's nsa. we ran out of time. so sorry to we will have you back on soon. >> always a pleasure. elizabeth: we'll have you back on again. still to come this hour, border crisis, 10 republican governors to join governor abbott at the border. white house reject as border disaster declaration. we have warnings about migrants with potential ties to al qaeda trying to cross. the supreme court delivering a win for trump. we told you. a jam-packed hour. up next, gop strategist ford o'connell. george soros group criticized for backing defund police, defunding police movements in austin, texas, and minneapolis as crime slams minority neighborhoods and cities. you are watching "the evening edit". hi, my name is tony cooper, and i'm going to tell you about exciting medic

then sussman brought to the fbi a few months later the trump russia alfa bank story there was collusionrs talking to each other. the fbi debunked that as trump hotel marketing spam emails but what is striking about what aaron is reporting, ford, michael sussman kept the fbi in the dark, fbi director james comey testified he had no access. he asked for the dnc server for the fbi to look at it, that was denied. then the crowdstrike ceo testified he didn't know that the fbi wanted access to the dnc server. so sussman is orchestrating all of that on that end. and then marc elias, at perkins coie, he is helping the democrats to fund and back the anti-trump steele dossier fed into the fbi. what is going on with this law firm? >> it is quite clear the law firm is on the clinton payroll and hid behind their attorney/client privilege so they could peddle the steele dossier, the fake rafah bank story as well as the russia hack story all because they wanted to destroy donald trump. what they did they destroyed a lot of lives for people that worked for the trump campaign. they held our democracy at
