donald trump jr. took that meeting once he was promised that he could get dirt from the clinton campaign and after he was told that the russian government was in fact trying to help his father win the presidency. now, we're now learning for the first time that several of the russians who were in that meeting did in fact meet and discuss this interaction with the senate intelligence committee, with senator richard burr confirming that to us. he did not disclose who precisely they met with. but what we do know, john, there were four russians who were in that meeting. including the russian lawyer, the russian lobbyist, as well as a translator and another individual who did work for a russian oligarch. this all comes as investigators are still trying to determine the extent to which donald trump, jr. and others tried to work with these russians as part of any sort of effort to effect or interfere with the election. donald trump, jr. said there was nothing to this meeting. it was simply a meeting. he then

committee has interviewed several of the russians who did take part in a june 2016, meeting with donald trump jr., paul manafort, jared kushner, that meeting has been under enormous scrutiny in washington after it was revealed donald trump took that meeting after he could get dirt on the clinton campaign. now, we're now learning for the first time that several of the russians in that meeting did in fact meet and discuss this interaction with the senate intelligence committee chairman confirming that they did meet with several, they did not disclose who precisely they met with. we do know there were four returns in that meeting, including a russian lawyer, and lobbyist, as well as a translate for and another individual who did work for russian ole guard. this come as investigators are still try to determine the extent to which donald trump jr. and others tried to work with these russians as any effort to interfere with the election. donald trump jr. says there was nothing to this meeting. it was simply a meeting to resolve over russian discovery. >> so the committee is going through a check of wh

broad reign so i think we might be seeing some of that kind of thing looking at jared kushner and donald trump jr and i think they both have a lot to worry about there as well ross where does this leave donald trump and what sort of response do you think he is gearing up for what sort of action is he going to take and is in the crosshairs well we all know donald trump's personality and his style but there's a candidate and in ten months is a president and we saw that with how he responded via twitter in the immediate hours after the indictments were announced we should expect him to continue to aggressively pursue his policies and frankly part of that will be aggressively pursuing action in congress with regard to tax reform in the coming days and other issues that i'm asked about i want is he going to go look what he did to me is it is going to go off to mutiny if he does i mean could there be a constitutional crisis. well the likelihood of going after miller is probably low and i would expect that his legal counsel both in the white house and externally are advised him against doing that becaus

you now have two instances, papadopoulos and donald trump jr. ing their intent, their eagerness to obtain whatever the russians were advertising as having had. it seems impossible to believe that after the russians twice indicated to these representatives from the trump campaign that they had the dirt on hillary clinton and wanted to help collude with donald trump's campaign that the trump campaign just dropped it. what we are getting at, we know that they have the intent. what we don't know if they had the opportunity. was there a follow-up meeting where the russians actually came with the e-mails or started to plot out the dissemination plan for the e-mails. >> or were there more e-mails from donald trump jr. to hope hicks and other people in the campaign saying, wow, can you believe the russians are backing dad's campaign? the only e-mails we've seen from donald trump, jr. are the e-mails that he himself released. >> this is why donald trump was so upset about a special prosecutor because if this just, you know, congressional inquiries you're

although donald trump jr. did not have a decision making decision. r trump has said that he met with that russian lawyer because he thought that she had information that was useful about his president's rival. so he was -- i think that their thinking is he got caught up in this because he was part of the campaign whether he had an official title or not. he wouldn't have taken that meeting and wouldn't have testified before the senate judiciary committee had his father not been running for president. >> do you know if the president's family has been involved at all in terms of the rnc going. if we know anything about the negotiations that led to this. >> there has been a lot of reporting back and forth about the internal conversations. i don't know to what extent the president and family reported the greenstick. whoever the president is. when there's a republican in the white house, the republican's partying is there. the party has to act based on his wishes. >> finance reporter for "usa today." i appreciate your time. it's going to be proved to be a b

although donald trump jr. d not have an official role in the campaign, those kids were intimately involved in a lot of the decision-making. and in fact, you know, the younger trump has said that he met with that russian lawyer because he thought that she had information that was useful about his president's rival. so he was -- i think that their thinking is he got caught up in this because he was part of the campaign whether he had an official title or not. and he wouldn't have taken that meeting and wouldn't have testified before the senate judiciary committee had his father not been running for president. >> do we know if the president was involved at all or the president's family has been involved at all in terms of discussions at the rnc to try to pressure the rnc to make these decisions? do we know if there's been any effort -- do we know anything about the negotiation that's led to this weird outcome? >> there's been a lot of reporting back and forth about the internal conversations. i don't know to what

. >> donald trump, jr. >> donald trump jr. as a way to make inroads to get to people inside the campaign. and they were getting willing participants, people who were responding in kind and seeming to encourage more of these contacts. again, for the past few months we've talked a lot about this, jake, that one of the things that really alarmed national security officials at the cia, at the fbi, the director of national intelligence was this idea that the russians were trying to essentially get in roads into a campaign, and they saw people trying to seemingly encourage that. and that really made them worried. they really thought this was a national security concern for the country. >> pamela, let me read something to you from the plea agreement with george papadopoulos. and this seems to me one of the most damning things in this entire case so far. on april 26, 2016, defendant papadopoulos met this unnamed professor for a breakfast at an unnamed hotel. during this meeting he told the defendant papadopoulos that he had just retur

this is moving into perjury, false statements, and even potentially treason. >> donald trump, jr., whato democracy and borderline treason. >> this is evidence of willingness to commit collusion. >> donald trump, jr. gave us the dots, all we have do is connect them to see where this is going. [laughter] [cheers] >> yeah, he's going to jail. liz: with me now is tim graham with the media research center. good to see you, tim. >> thank you. liz: you heard all the people talking in the media today acting like the accusations were tantamount to a conviction, and now have the democrats funding that anti-trump research file. what do you think? >> we have just come out with a new study that shows that from january 20 to october 20 we have 1,000 minutes of network evening news on trump and russia. 1,000 minutes. here's where we are so far on hillary and russia. 20 seconds. liz: 20 seconds? >> 20 seconds is what we have so far. and so what you have here is a news media that's really, really devoted to ruining trump. you can hear they thought what this was going to lead to was impeachment and remov

she gave to it donald trump jr. document contained the same information as the document that chaika, yuri chaika, you just mentioned, the prosecutor general, almost like a cabinet member. he had given the document to a member of congress. we can talk about that as well. but that same document, basically, what she gave trump jr. was a very similar do the. that means that she must have coordinated with chaika. and we know from the e-mail trail that set up the meeting for donald trump jr. there was the goldstone guy, the british talent agent. he essentially said, the prosecutor general, he referred to him as the crown prosecutor. but that this information was coming from him. so we already had a sense that she was connected to the kremlins or chaika. we knew about her business dealings. her business dealings made it highly likely that she was in the good graces of the kremlin, if not known to they will. so this idea that she was somehow not a, of course, she wasn't strictly speaking a russian government lawyer. but she

that's what donald trump jr. was told in those e-mails and then george who lied to the fbi -- >> yeah that's a very clear point. it's clear they were responding two signals from the russian op tifrs saying, we got some stuff do you want to talk to us, and yes, we do want you stuff. now what we don't know is whether these conversations led anywhere and did it actually lead to cooperation with the russians in terms of the meddling, that's still unclear. we know that's where mueller is hoping or at least he's going to investigate that to find out what happened. one last thing anderson, we've also been told by "the washington post" is that facebook is going to testify tomorrow that the russian based, and russian sourced materials put out in the captain, meddling in the campaign may have reached as many as 126 million americans. that's about the number that voted. >> yeah, cnn has confirmed that. david can you put this in some perspective in terms of scandals in white houses and scandal investigations in white houses?

let's look at donald trump's jr.'>> it's not a witch hunt when it's actually happening and if you think it's not after the past two weeks i have to question your motives. a lot of people are reading that screaming at their tvs right now given the allegations that came out against his father and the whole "access hollywood" tape. >> one year ago, president trump was on the defensive on the campaign trail denying the allegations made by numerous women of sexual assault and harassment. donald trump jr. is here in this antihollywood and media line. the rnc and some of the president's aids have been promoting this as well. harvey weinstein is all that is wrong with hollywood. there's a problem in hollywood's culture. they are i would say donald trump jr. some of the president's aids are politicizing this in a way that it doesn't need to be politicized. what's happened is sickening, thankfully there are criminal investigations under way by the nypd and the london police. we will see if anything comes from that. this is not

i mean, that's what donald trump jr. was told in those e-mails and papadopoulos, though he lied about it to the fbi then came here to the fbi -- >> that's a very good point. it's very clear that they were responding to signals from russian operatives saying we've got some stuff, do you want to talk to us. yes, we doment your stuff. now, what we still don't know and it's a big don't know is whether thiesz conversations led anywhere and did it actually led to cooperation with the russians. that still is unclear. but we know that's where mueller is hoping to go or are least he's going to investigate that to find out just what happened. one last thing, anderson, what we've also been told tonight by the "washington post" is that facebook is going to testify tomorrow that the russian-based, russian sourced materials put out in the campaign to meddle in the campaign may have reached as many as 126 million americans. that's about the number who voed. >> yeah. cnn has confirmed that. david, can you just put this in some historica

it was retweeted by kellyanne conway, donald trump jr., the digital director of the trump campaign. what they tweeted was, you know, the stuff that in the long term -- donald trump jr. tweeted something alleging voter fraud in florida at one point. but one of the scarier ones they would tweet about is how barack obama had a love child or hillary clinton had a love child or all of these things. so it toed the line between crazy stuff in some places and very on-the-nose very sharp political commentary. >> first of all, how do you know it was a russian troll? how would an average social media user be able to detect incident was a fake account? >> that's a very good question. it is is very hard. a lot of people were duped by this. i was talking to go chris hayes, the msncageor, he was duped too. i think i was at one point. they're very good at this in some ways. they just missed the syntax a little bit. we found out they were russian trolls becausebit. twitter deleted 400 of these accounts on facebook and 200 on twitter a few months ago. and they tied them back to the internet research a

donald trump on down? no, it was celebrated. it was as donald trump jr. said i love it. that's the attitude they took to the efforts of the russians to dult rate is them. >> the white house argues that the charges against paul manafort and rick gates have nothing to do with the 2016 presidential campaign. it's true that the charges relate to their business activities over many years, but that work did also involve some pro-putin lobbying and involved their activities during the 2016 campaign as well. does that white house defense to you, congressman, make sense? >> well, it sort of feels like grass pitching at straws. it may prove to be technically true. what paul manafort and his partner have been charged with don't obviously point back to collusion with the campaign, but despite sarah sanders' best effort of painting paul manafort as sort of an extraneous an tangential person this guy was the campaign person. we know he has long-established links with pro-russia people and you can imagine that he now has a real incentive to be very honest for the first time, to be very

reports that there had been this meeting with the russians where somebody came and said -- >> for donald trump jr. initially the people said no, he wasn't drafting it, it was donald trump jr.'s lawyers. >> and the meeting was just about adoption and it turned out it was about an offer to provide damaging information on hillary clinton. and so it's things like that where the investigators are going to back to the people who were on the plane who were with the president drafting that initial statement, that includes sean spicer, hope hicks. and the investigators are going to ask them very detailed questions about how that statement came to be and then compare that to the statements that other people made. >>> more to talk about including the decision to decertify the iran deal. >>> later, kids taken from central africa, sold to american families, sold, who thought they were adopting or fans. who could this happen? part two of our cnn investigation. >> what's today. >> i don't know. >> yes, you do. what's today? and with panera catering, there's more to go around. panera. food as it should be. (chee

where donald trump jr.believe that he was getting information from an attorney that was coordinating with the russian government. information that was damaging to hillary clinton. so that is an important data points. another important data point with a lot of news reports saying that paul manafort was instrumental in changing the g.o.p. platform to be favorable to the russians in the july 2016 convention. a third data point is paul manafort clearly has a lot of knowledge about donald trump donald trump's -- president trump's financial relationships, alleged relationships with the russians that are getting more and more scrutiny. so the question is, while the indictment is not squarely -- the indictment does not squarely go to the issue of collusion, can paul manafort to be a productive witness for mueller on some of these other question questions? >> jon: every campaign, richard, gets involved in opposition research, you know, everybody essentially does eight. the question in the trump campaign, or the ques

if it is a big deal for donald trump jr. to meet with russian players during the campaign, why is it a big deal when the clinton campaign and dnc itself reportedly paid for opposition research of their own from the russians? today a look at who is talking, who is stone walling and where all this is going. with former obama cia director leon panetta and republican senate judiciary committee chair, chuck grassley. first to catherine herridge examining all of this. what is the latest? >> in this letter, the general counsel for the clinton campaign confirms that he was approached by fusion dps. the research led to the trump dossier that was shared with the fbi in the summer of 2016. on america's newsroom, the chairman questioned whether the bureau knew about the dnc funding and still used the unverified file to open the russia probe and obtain warrants on trump's campaign. >> i want to know if the nation's premier law enforcement agency that relied on a document that looks like the national inquirer prepared it. >> glenn simpson

and it's just before june when donald trump jr. has his infamous meeting at trump tower about getting dirt on hillary clinton from russia. so we learned -- one of the things, when donald trump gets the e-mail -- donald trump jr. gets the e-mail, saying russia wants to help, he doesn't say wow, that's a surprise or boy -- he says love t let me hear. this explains why he's not a surprise. this is a continuing subject of discussion within the trump campaign. how is russia going to help donald trump get elected president? >> sander, the press secretary, jeffrey, is a volunteer. it's a bad point for her to make. because everybody is a volunteer. >> even manafort, yeah. >> why would prosecutors want a cooperation agreement with papadopoulos if he is irrelevant? >> he certainly -- one of the things with prosecutors is that you don't just want to prove a case with e-mails or evidence that can't speak. you need someone, even if it's a minor-level person, who can explain who's who, who talked to who, whose office was where? when was the staff

gold stone e-mails donald trump jr. saying the russian government is working to help his father's campaign, saying a kremlin connected lawyer has dirt on hillary clinton. six days later, the trump tower meeting, he's there, jared kushner is there and paul manafort. done junior describes the meeting as being about adoption, which means u.s. sanctions against moscow. donald junior admits he later then looking for dirt but came away empty hand. carter page, that other member of the candidate destroyers group travels to moscow. that e-mail we talked about a second ago, the one that said we need someone to communicate the dt is not doing these trips. was the cater page trip the moscow trip? we don't know for sure, but the timing indicates the possibility. now, back to the court document unsealed today and the next date on or about the 14th of july of last year. george papadopoulos writing to the individual known as fc 2, foreign contact 2. papadopoulos proposing a, quote, meeting for august or september in the u.k., london, w

had been this meeting with the russians where the russian -- where somebody had come -- >> with donald trump jr. >> right. >> and initially the president's people around him said, oh, no, he wasn't drafting it. it was donald trump jr.'s lawyers. >> right. there was that. and they said it was initially about -- the meeting was just about adoption, and it turned out it was about an offer to provide damaging information on hillary clinton. so it's things like where the investigators are going to go back to the people on the plane, with the president, drafting that initial statement. that includes sean spicer and that includes, we think, hope hicks. and the investigators are going to ask them very detailed questions about how that statement came to be and then compare that to the statements that other people make. >> a lot more to talk about, including the president's decision to decertify the iran nuclear deal, and essentially put the next move in the hands of congress. we're going to be joined next by the former director of national intelligence, james clapper. >>> also later, kids taken from cen

donald trump, jr. was there. ve information or it's been reported that she came, having been briefed by a high level russian official. >> yes. so the memo that she brought with her to the trump campaign meeting at trump tower in june of last year closely mirrored another memo that had been written by the russian prosecutor's office two months earlier. both of them were an effort to essentiallyeundermine this man named bill brawder who commissioned the comitysky acts they target high level creme clin-- kremlin officials and putin hates them. there was there effort on the highest levels and the russian lawyer brought with her a memo that was exactly the same verbatim in some places as this memo written by the prosecutor's office. and that was a direct indication that she was acting as an agent of the kremlin at that point. >> rose: jeff, they both pleaded not guilty, i know you have to leave so one quick question. they pleaded not guilty. any indication from mueller's office as to where they are going next and when?

paul manafort was in that meeting in trump tower with donald trump jr. and the russian lawyer who was there with the promise to donald trump jr. that she was bringing information from the russian government about hillary clinton hillary clinton. could be completely disconnected. we may never have a connection between these charges against paul manafort and that, but interesting that he was sitting at the table for that meeting. >> shimon, as you're going through this and so are we, right now. to jeffrey's point of bringing up -- it does not mention the trump campaign. however, it does mention statements that paul manafort made during the five months he was chairing the campaign. do you know, specifically, what some of those are? >> no, i don't know if they're contained in the indictment and i haven't seen them yet. the other thing i wanted to bring up, poppy and john, and maybe this is a question for jeffrey, there's a fara violation here. and we've all been reporting on how rare it is for the u.s. government to bring charges against someone on fara viola

the same term donald trump jr.en, used in that e-mail when he met with the, the russian woman and the others that came out over the summer. just a few weeks before, i think, the arrest of this junior aide. and that donald trump jr., paul manafort, jared kushner, all met with someone they believed was representing the russian government. >> and say, look, i was interested in finding out what they knew but it raises another question here. >> and right about it, though. >> you say, though, when you say "dirt" and "e-mail," thousands of e-mails, raises the question, which e-mails are we talking about? talked earlier in the show, eddie. a possibility hacked e-mails from the dnc that came out later in the campaign. introduces that possibility. had that clip aplayed it when the meeting in june came out. donald trump and folks on the right, fair to say obsessed with 30,000 missing, deleted hillary clinton e-mails. this was a long-term theme as well. they've got to be out there somewhere. if you're the trump campaign and he

a new report claims the russian lawyer who met with paul manafort and jared kushner and donald trump jrve acted as an agent of the kremlin. joining me is the author of this report, natasha bertrand. if this russian lawyer, natalia veselnitskaya, if she was acting on behalf of the russian government, does that change the gravity of the meeting for manafort or don junior? how does mueller interpret that? >> absolutely. there is no indication as of right now that don junior or anyone who attended the meeting knew that veselnitskaya may have been acting as an agent of the kremlin. that being said, the person who organized the meeting at first rob goldstone deserve tell donald trump jr. that the russian prosecutor's office had dirt on hockey that could possibly help then candidate donald trump's campaign at the time. now this memo that veselnitskaya brought with her to trump tower closely mirrored a memo written two months earlier by the russian prosecutor's office and it focused on bill browder who spearhead this had magnitsky sanctions legislation in 2012. if you undermine browder did, you

june 3, 2016, donald trump jr. ssia is going to provide the trump campaign with official documents and information that would incriminate hillary and dealings with russia that would be very useful to your father, unquote and he's receptive to that idea. on june 7 candidate trump says this. >> i am going to give a major speech on probably monday of next week, and we're going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the clintons. >> reporter: all the things, he says, including things having to do with russia. okay. that's the dang. here comes the phishing, the attempt to get that information. on june 9 donald trump jr., jared kushner, paul manafort actually have that meeting with russians but they later say nothing is presented to them in terms of incriminating information about hillary clinton, and it turns out candidate trump never gives that speech on hillary clinton that he said he would. now, from mid-june through mid-august, according to the plea agreement, papadopoulos is trying to set up a

donald trump, jr.as teamed up with the largest gun silencer manufacturer in the country, which is called silencer co. during the campaign, he recorded a long interview with them, promising if this legislation were to move through congress, his father would sign it into law as president. he has aligned himself with a gun lobby, just as president trump has. he has made this his pet project as a hunter. he and the gun lobby are doing everything in their power to make sure this passes while republicans are still in control of congress will some amy: appeared in a promotional video for silencer company in september 2016, donald trump, jr. did. i want t to ask lois beckett abt the weapons used in this biggest mass killing by single individual in u.s. history. andeapons found in his home this hotel suite where he was staying. >> i think one of the hard things for people who don't own guns to realize is 42 guns, while it seems like a huge amount to us, is not necessarily that much for americans who are gun ent

they did get a meeting with donald trump jr. and through papadopoulos or others we have known, perhaps carter page, who knows, they were trying to make in inroads here. the question and you raised this time and time again is why? why? on one hand they were really passionate on the russian side. they wanted the act repealed. why they think they could make headway with a candidate, maybe they were -- it's not clear. >> the inroads to other candidates. i think that's the question. >> they saw an opening there and it would be -- it looks like the offering of a quid pro quo to discuss dirt on hillary clinton in the trump tower meeting. >> they mentioned dirt on hillary clinton several times that was motivating papadopoulos. >> we are very interested in relaxing the sanction. >> that told us why mueller and the fbi is so interested in the donald trump jr. meeting. they see another example of dirt. clinton dirt. we are going to help you. we may have clinton dirt for you. this gives an indication of why they are so interested in the mee

hillary clinton from russian sources the other case of course the infamous meeting organized by donald trump jr the president's son and other. trump allies with a russian law also an attempt to get some compromising information on hillary clinton so this does not look good for donald trump but there is no clear connection to donald trump yet again while that line what do these indictments then mean for the president. well first of all the optics bad as i just mentioned and then of course poll man afford his former campaign manager and a close ally. could go to jail if proven guilty of course then you have the case of general michael flynn the former national security adviser who also had to resign because he lied about his contacts to russia and other foreign governments and many other members of trump's inner circle in the first ten months of his presidency had to resign over fired for a number of scandals so this all doesn't look good the indictments maybe don't really change that but they put some pressure on donald trump for now the base his base and the republicans in congress stand by him

the other one is the operation that the russians mounted when they sent the lawyer in to see donald trump jr. in june. that clearly was a russian intelligence operation with a minimal goal of trying to get compromising data on donald trump jr. >> from the way they operate, would that be usual? they're looking at many different possible ways. if the russians want to somehow get a foothold into the campaign, it would be maybe unusual for them to go down just one track. >> absolutely. a rule of thumb in that business is, you know, throw everything up against the wall carefully and see what sticks. so these are two instances we have. it will not surprise me at all if we don't find -- if we find other instances like this. and there's another implication that occurred to me thinking about this today. for -- for president trump. and that is that if he wanted to fire mueller a week or two ago, it would have been difficult and it would have kicked up a controversy and a lot of dust but he might have got an way with it. i actually think he could not get away with it now. if he were to try to fire muel

donald trump, jr. is going to give remarks at the session.ycoon will host the strategy session for a america first action superpac at his ranch tomorrow in texas. >>> this week the public may get a first look at the top secret documents from the jfk investigation. they will release all files by october 26th which is thursday of this year. president donald trump announced on twitter he will allow the release of the classified materials. experts who studied kennedy's assassination do not think there are many things but some say there could be a cia study of oswald and testimony of former cia officers. >>> the air force can bring back nearly 1,000 retired pilots whether they want to come back or not. president donald trump signed an executive order on friday to recall the pilots as a way to tackle the air force's pilot shortage. right now they need 1500 pilots under a previous executive order, only 25 can be recalled. this temporarily removes that limit for up to three years. >>> the sentencing hearing begins today for army sergeant bowe bergdah

>> so if the russians at the donald trump jr.xample, gave something of value to the campaign and the campaign gave something back, that could be a conspiracy to violate the election laws, because foreign nationals are not allowed to make contributions. >> that's up for debate where incriminating information is actually something of value, right? >> that's right. that's right. >> i'm heard varying opinions on this, that it's sort of unprecedented. >> there's from f.e.c., federal elections commission finding that opposition research has a value. if you donate something of value, it's a contribution, so in the end it would be hard to say this is not a donation of something of value. it's a potential for violation of federal elections commission laws. >> and to be fair they claim they never received anything. >> that's right. there's a computer fraud act that makes it illegal to hackment's computer. similarly it would make it a crime for you to make use of that information knowingly, i steal something, that's a crime. you receive tha

the pattern includes that june 9th meeting with russian foreign agents, attended by donald trump, jr., and jared kushner and paul manafort, and it's part of a pattern. it may not have been a direct part of the campaign, but it was hired by it, and there were other trump associates reaching out as well. >> this is something your committee is looking into right now? were you aware of this? >> we were -- at least i was unaware of it, but it should be a topic that is of interests, because the russian investigation and obstruction of justice, which is at the core of our investigation should include all available relevant information. >> i just want to be precise. julian assange denies russia was the source of the hacked e-mails that wikileaks posted. how is this connection between the trump data analytics firm and julian assange fit into trump meddling and trump collusion. >> where wikileaks got the information that it published, the 33,000 e-mails or umbrellot e-mails, and if that was from the russian government -- >> they deny it was from the russians. >> it should be a topic of investig

priebus ran for six years, was paying the legal fees on the russia investigation for donald trump and donald trump jr. but not paying legal fees for reince priebus who ran the organization for six years. as far as we know, we can't verify that anybody is getting their russia legal fees paid for by the rnc other than 2 billionaire men named donald trump jr. and senior. so i don't know who's paying for reince priebus' lawyer, but he has a lawyer. we'll stick a pin in that factor for a moment. he was able to have this conversation with mueller and the investigators in the context of a voluntary interview. mueller's investigation has taken a very different approach when it comes to the trump campaign chairman paul manafort. this summer in july use thed a no-knock search warrant to raid his home in virginia and told paul manafort that they are going to indict him and he should expect that indictment. if that's true and they are going to indict him, we don't know what they will indict him for or when. thee receiptically it's important they also have indicted him, we just don't know about it. whatever his l
