it was late in the evening on a tuesday night, january 10th, 2017 when buzzfeed published what we now refer to as the steele dossier, a collection of raw intelligence reports written by former british spy christopher steele. at the time buzzfeed published the dossier, we didn't know much about it, other than the claims made in the dossier that were shocking, salacious, and rather impossible to verify. we later learned that the dossier had at first been commissioned by a conservative purveyor for a u.s. political website looking to dig up dirt on donald trump. when they decided to stop funding it, the clinton campaign and the democratic party picked up the bill, and steele's search for trump background info continued. but in assistance, what buzzfeed revealed to the world on that tuesday night in january was a series of unconfirmed reports detailing the ways in which russia allegedly cultivated donald trump for years and then set out to help him win the presidential election, and the ways in which members of the trump campaign allegedly cooperated in those russian intelligence efforts.

at the same time they all feel kind of grateful is the term that buzzfeed published because you guysand then at the same time, you know, they were able to kind of benefit from that and then the people, the actual civilians and the people i have spoken to are very happy to have at least some of this information out there and a lot of it has been borne out. i think we do try as reporters to verify things, but when people at the highest levels of government are using a document there is a justification for it being something that the public is allowed to be in on, that they are allowed to be in on some of this discussion. >> let's end with an actually fake subject. this is the headline this week about germany's spiegel, a report there was making up entire stories, making up characters, making up sources. this is worse than plagiarism, it's fabrication. now, he was given an award years ago by cnn. he never worked for cnn thank goodness, was never published by cnn but he was given a cnn journalist of the year award a number of years ago. what is the take away when you see a case like this

some publications say that the publication buzzfeed was sued after they published the bogus dossier on president trump. but they won in court. but that's not the interesting part of the story. inside the filing were revelations about certain republicans that will shock a lot of you. first, a longtime associate of senator john mccain initially provided a copy of that infamous dossier to buzzfeed. and a second, a paul ryan ade and congressman adam cain said a copy. peter, why does this not surprise me, that when someone is trying to shop and anti-trump document as salacious and ridiculous as that was, they went to to big-time neoconservatives that are diametrically opposed to trump, things like the wall, a noninterventionist philosophy and economic nationalism go down the line. mccain and ken's anger and i guess paul ryan had some access to it as well. >> you are right. you speak to something profound about washington's political culture, think about this for a second. if mccain's office or ryan's office had begun a salacious, unverified dossier about one of their colleagues, do you thin

one of the things that buzzfeed reported and time just sort of blends altogether, i can't remember when reported on plans by the trump organization to give a $50 million penthouse in trump tower moscow to putin. joyce, i'll start with you, explain to the viewers why this is such a big deal. >> so, it's really coming together at this point. when we see there's communication between cohen and a russian talking about political synergy, to me as a former prosecutor that sounds like we're talking about conspiracy at this point. in that context, the buzzfeed payment is very interesting because one of the strictly prohibited practices under u.s. law for our companies that are doing businesses over -- doing business overseas is to pay a bribe in order to facilitate their business transaction. that's what the $50 million penthouse looks like it could be. we don't know for certain, but this notion that you would give someone the leader of the russian union a $50 million penthouse in order to permit you to build a building if you could prove intent and that the -- that everything was linked togeth

tell you the person who's been at the forefront of doing reporting on this case is jason leopold at buzzfeed. he's been following the money. the case involved was this republican operative who claimed to have ties to michael flynn trying to pay hackers to gather hillary clinton's e-mails to authenticate them. leopold at the front, trying to figure out was he paying people, was he serving as a front for the campaign to try to go after hillary clinton's e-mails they were gathering from people linked to russia. that's a larger piece that we really aren't digging in. when i first saw that, that's what i first suspected. we don't know at this point because of the redactions. anyone in michael flynn's orbit to make engaged in any type of criminal activity with him regardless of what that was should can very worried right now. this goes far beyond the special counsel. >> we're told flynn provided documents and communications as part of his assistance with the investigation. col corroborating evidence mean trouble for other members of trump's inner circle? >> absolutely. it's not just the inner circ

in immigration news, buzzfeed news reports that an unknown impostor stole the online identity of a prominent honduran activist in order to organize the migrant caravan that became a central issue for president trump and republicans in the u.s. midterm elections. the activist, bartolo fuentes, says he hasn't gotten any answers from facebook about who stole his identity or how many messages were sent by the impostor account. but fuentes' identity was apparently central to a sophisticated campaign that organized the largest migrant caravan in history, with some 7000 central americans participating at its peak. president trump blasted the caravan as a horde of invaders and used the issue as a wedge to drum up support for republican candidates. and vice president mike pence used the caravan to lash out at venezuela and leftist groups. >> with the president of honduras told me is the caravan was organized byby leftist organizations, political activists within honduras, and he said it was being funded by outside groups and even from venezuela. think american people i think see through this. they un

this guy was written about by buzzfeed last year. it was ivanka trump who suggested that michael cohen make contact with him or accept messages from him, and he did. this was all in the context of that trump tower moscow project that they were talking about during the campaign. so this adds yet another layer of contacts between the trump organization and the kremlin during the course of the presidential campaign. so it makes that filing a week ago, it seems so long ago now, in which we first learned about how michael cohen was in direct communication with the office of the press secretary to vladimir putin during the campaign, this adds yet another layer of those contacts. all the more reason, by the way, chris, that this needs to be fully fleshed out, fully aired. i think i said the other night on your show, it cries out for congress to start calling these key witnesses like michael cohen before the committees and get the full story under oath in public so that we can all get the details. >> yeah. and this time he's got to tell the

according to buzzfeed, even about putin's personal sweetener in the deal, which would be a free $50 million penthouse that he could keep for himself in the deal, free for nothing. so trump knew this was in the works, but was keeping it secret. the kremlin knew it was in the works. they knew that trump was keeping it secret. they even helped him keep it secret. in a call with reporters, the senior kremlin official, who is apparently managing this project for the russian government, he put out a statement denying any kremlin involvement. he said we don't respond to such business topics. it is not our job. asked specifically about reports that michael cohen had e-mailed the official's office in the kremlin about the project, this russian official, dimitri peskov responded, quote, we tlaeft without a response. well, from michael cohen's plea in court yesterday, we know that peskov's office actually did reply to him. so that means that the kremlin was helping cover this thing up too. just -- just step back from this a second, right. this means, yes, during the transition, the top two national se
