though, now, stone is again, in hot water for possible ties to assange. after tweeting that john podesta, hillary clinton's campaign chair, would have his time in the barrel, pedesta's campaign e-mails were leaked. stone told the reporter, i do have a back channel communication with assange because we have a good mutual friend. still, stone denied having direct communication to assange and denied leaking the e-mails. but now intelligence officials want to know if roger stone had advanced warning of the e-mails leaked and, perhaps, the russian hack during the 2016 campaign. the man whose motto is, admit nothing, deny everything, launched counter attack, now back in the spotlight again. randy kay, cnn, new york. >> our panel is back with us. eugene scott, sarah westwood, thank you for sticking with us. eugene, you hear the end of the piece there, admit nothing, deny everything. set to testify before the house intelligence committee. what do you expect from the testimony? >> well, hopefully expecting consistency, but that's not what he's shown us. many of th

we discussed the issue with one of julian assange and his lawyers that's melinda taylor who says that the filmmakers violated copyright on content rights putting at risk those who appeared in the movie but they also failed to include a major recent development. where the content was selectively edited and taken out of context and it shows presents we never agreed to be in the film for example and it's not just leaks are put at risk it's also sources and present the way twitter for example you're up against speaking to people in tunisia about certain encryption issues but really showing it as a documentary about we'll be talking about it was protection she took you might government surveillance which was a real purpose of what they were led to believe that it would be about and will advance have not been captured and killed for example when you went decision in august of last year it's not really shown and it doesn't really do stand justice to the decision about which wasn't going to ask you to stop the investigation against them because of the lack of any evidence concerning there's a

her latest film "risk," which looks at wikileaks and julian assange, premieres this saturday >> it's a bit surprising that i do documentaries because i consider myself to be a really shy person. there's something about the documentary form that i guess it sort of-- it kind of gives you an invitation maybe to go places you wouldn't go, otherwise to take risks you wouldn't take otherwise. my filmmaking is kind of comes in a tradition of observational cinema or cinema vÉrite, where legendary founders of it, d. a. pennebaker, albert maysles, frederick wiseman, they capture human stories, they capture drama, and they capture history as it unfolds, when you talk to people and who they tell you who they are is oftentimes different than act- than their actions, so i'm interested in people's actions and choices, so, for instance, sitting in a hotel room with edward snowden as he's making this monumental decision to leak this information, is an example of the type of cinema like, that i'm interested in doing. the last two films i've done," citizen four" and "risk", i became a participant, ther

gave them to julian assange at wikileaks who tried to maximize damage to our campaign by 30 minutes following release of the access hollywood tape. began releasing them everyday for approximately 30 days of the campaign. so i think they, as the 17 u.s. intelligence agencies ended up putting out a statement, and concluded, they tried to do what they could to interfere with the u.s. election in order to help donald trump get elected president of the united states. and the reason they did that is because donald trump as we saw over the weekend at hamburg, seems to have a special rapport with vladimir putin and adopted russian foreign policy breaking rank with bipartisan foreign policy with the united states for the last years. >> you said something about the timing of the access hollywood tapes. also the same day the u.s. government released its first official finding that the russians had indeed penetrated your e-mail. you don't think that's coincidence? you think there is some direction about what would be politically most sell yent? >> look, i think that you know, if, i would say two things.

and on to julian assange and roger stone? i mean it seems a little early to -- >> there is a lot of dots here that aren't connected. the problem is this is not anybody's problem but the trump administration's. the story continues to change. first there's nothing and then there's denials. then there's something. and then there's something more. i think we're going to see that. we're going to find out about more meetings and we're going to find out about more revelations related to those meetings. >> jason miller, robby mook, thank you both. appreciate it. >>> coming up next, to congressman swalwell's earlier point, just how normal or abnormal was the trump jr. meeting. was it merely hard ball all campaigns play or something out of the ordinary. we'll hear from three attorneys with three different views next. >>> also later, senate republicans getting ready for another try at replacing obamacare. the question is can they actually overcome republican opposition to it.

julian assange she was among those urging trying to publish his e-mails in the name of transparency he offered to do it for him anonymously via wiki leaks in two hours later trying to publish them himself political and legal analyst lionel told us that there's no substance in this story only in the buzzword russia making it a point of discussion for the media whenever you hear about this trouble. me to always ask the question and. because that's what you have to do and that i will drive junior met with this rush in and he thought maybe he would have some research opposition research and and it turns out that she didn't but she wanted to talk about apparently adoption and and that somebody said treason this there is nothing here but let me tell you what is the saddest part we have been told russia russia russia russia to such an extent that maybe by virtue of this repetition there's been some kind of a cerebral connection made where people impute to guilt whenever that word is met and i'm not kidding you it's almost like a brainwashing there is absolutely nothing to this story no matter

the whole thing has to do with who got the e-mails from the democratic national committee to julian assange and now i have a very good speculation here it's based on what the new york times does not publish . the original cia documents published by wiki leaks on march twenty eighth revealed something called vault seven part three which allowed the cia to opt to skate that is confused who hacks into these systems and leave a little telltale signs like oh maybe cyrillic or felix and wonder of each now the cia used that capability last year two thousand and sixty eight it doesn't take a rocket scientist to put these dots together all cyrillic left in the d.n.c. could well maybe i'll just say right out that if i had to judge between whether it was a russian hack or a cia. penetration or a cia use of this incredible capability i would go with cia using this incredible capability right off the bat the problem is we have a president now and less look around at the cia in the military and what we call it deep state he could ideally call his cia director and say mike pompei oh nuff of this foolishne

three days later on, june 12, julian assange of wikileaks announced that he was in possession of e-mailg to hillary clinton. on june 14th, the "washington post" first reported that russian intelligence breached the dnc. we know that now. then the first russian hacked dnc file was released on june 15th. and despite that kushner, manafort and donald trump jr. were told that they were helping their candidate. they said we believe it was the dnc that did the hacking as a way to distract if the many issues facing their deeply flawed candidate. >> you put these things together and it looks like trump got the word from his son and manafort and the other guy, jared, i guess some hot stuff from the russians, you might as well begin teasing it out there. and yet he was saying, we don't know anything about this. >> it may look like that but we do not know for sure. it is important to point out that donald trump's lawyers say that he didn't know about the meeting until a few days ago. but he was in trump tower. >> wouldn't they do that in. >> they certainly would. but let's be fair here and say wha

ago,n assange, months claims the russians did not give him any information.loyees that the dnc who was mysteriously murdered .ight have been the leaker and the dnc will not release their servers, so the f ei -- fbi can find the fingerprints there, whether the russians hacked it or whether it was a leak from an insider like rich. host: frank, fort lauderdale. this new development overnight. the russian foreign ministry saying today that they would have to expel u.s. diplomats and also shut down the u.s. compounds in russia if the united states does not reopen two russian recreational states that the u.s. shutdown last year with the obama administration in response to reports of russian meddling in the u.s. election. the outgoing obama white house last year expelled 35 russian officials from the u.s. and shutdown the two russian estates spy were being used for operation. yesterday, reacting to the latest developments in russia, the house democratic leader nancy pelosi. asked over and over again what do the russians have, politically, personally, financially on

roger stone said to people and he also tweeted that he was speaking to julian assange.e point he implied it was direct, and at another point he said it was through intermediaries. then he clairvoyantly predicted that donald trump jr.'s e-mails would be released. they stole e-mails and then figured out the time to drop them. and today we're getting closer. the other piece of this, we can't let this go. what did the president know? he was sitting in trump tower the day this meeting happened. his campaign manager, his son, his son-in-law were all there. do we really think they didn't talk about this? >> one of the pushbacks from the white house has been that when paul manafort was named to the trump campaign, there were people in this country reaching out to ukranian politicians and ukranian politicians were helping to provide information about paul manafort that was not positive because manafort had done a bunch of consulting work in ukraine and people saying this is the same thing, sarah huckabee sanders making that point from the white house podium. >> i love it. they t

they wanted to know from stone were you in touch with julian assange, were you in touch with the russianilitary e-mail server that they had set up for communications? and if so, why were you doing that? and what role did you play in getting this information out into the domain? i think caputo is sort of ancillary to that principally. >> so those potential answers could speak to intent, wittingly, unwittingly? >> well, yes. i mean, it could be that stone -- and we should say as you said atd the setup, he has denied this, that stone was in fact in communications with the russians about what they were doing with the hacked information and they were strategizing about the best way to get that information out into the public domain in a way that would cause the most injury to the clinton campaign. so if that were the facts, if it rolled out that way, that would be detrimental to stone and detrimental to the president if he had knowledge of stone's doing this. if stone was an independent actor doing this on his own, then it's all on stone. if they were all communicating in the campaign about t
