"some official documents and information that would would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia, and would be very useful to your father. this is obviously very high level and sensitive information, but is part of russia and its government's support for mrtrump." donald trumer‘s response: "if it's what you say, i love it, especially later in the summer." well, joining us now is matthew rojansky, director of the kennan institute at the woodrow wilson center. matthew, put your moscow hat on. or are they making of this in the kremlin? what is very st
