work with fusion g.p.s.aw firm that was affiliated with it on various matters including the ole maginski act. remember when the substance of the meeting was about adoption. that's what the substance of the meeting ended up being about. the reality is they may have said it was going to be opposition research but it ends up being this act and the whole issue of russian adoption which wasn't even a campaign issue. take it a step further, where does the -- you know, draw the lines here, it's not very difficult to see what this is everybody is ignoring the fact that this is, you know, politics is a rough and tumible sport. that's the nature of the living in a constitutional republic. so, for all this, you know, angst that's going on right now, look at what really happens in the real world. and you see this kind i have jousting going on all the time. >> sean: i expect the establishment destroy trump media. i have no expectations. they are 24 hours a day. it's the same nonsense. it's only -- we're forcing this stor

we should know that it turns out allegedly this particular firm, fusion g.p.s. glen simpson reportedly, according to a senate witness was also working for russia. and, of course, trying to run a sneer campaign against individuals and trying to hurt candidate trump. then you had, allegedly again, we'll see, you had obama administration official trying to unmask innocent men and women who were going to be part of the trump administration because they weren't expecting a result of his victory. but i think this is why the russian percussion has amped down a little bit this week. it's not just because we have a new chief of staff or american hero's week or the healthcare reform. it's because the winds are really shifting here, aren't they, friends, that we actually may be talking more about russia in the context of how it hurts democratic interests and people aligned with the democratic party. so we will have to see on that. then have you got debbie wasserman shultz. people don't want to cover this. her i.t. advisor, who was not fired along with other people in febru

lindsey graham asked browder was fusion g.p.s.'s response was in the spring and summer of 2016, fusion gps was receiving indirectly money from senior russian government officials. the other thing that was interesting, too. and, again, we didn't get to the question. i suspect it's hillary clinton donors but these are just suspicions. the encouraging part to me, pete, was that there were two democrat senators, senator whitehouse and senator durbin that did actually ask do you know who is funding fusion g.p.s.' dossier? again, browder did not have those answers. but those questions will be asked of simpson. i want to remind the listeners this dossier started, really was the genesis for this fairy tale of trump/russia collusion. it was fed into the mainstream media intentionally so by fusion and steel who actually briefed according to "the columbus dispatchy" five different outlets that's triggered ultimately an fbi investigation. the crazy part about all of this, the fbi is still using this fake dossier as a checklist for witnesses i

understand whether the law should be applied to certain entities including for example apac or fusion g.p.s. the company behind the infamous trunk dossier but our team airco was also mentioned at the hearing and panelists seem to be caught off guard. r t america was explicitly set up to avoid the foreign agents registration act because it's registered as a nonprofit instead of a government affiliate can one of you mr hickey mr priest can you elaborate on why our t. is not currently registered under pharaoh. senator i probably shouldn't comment on any particular individuals or entities but it strikes me that when congress passed fair or amended it recently i may be in the sixty's this is when the change for the forty's it deliberately carved out u.s. own media organizations was very precise about that so what that tells me as a prosecutor is that that intended to capture potentially others. for some insight into these new sanctions we're going to turn now to dan kovach he teaches international human rights at the university of pittsburgh and he's also the author of the plot to russia how the

she hired fusion g.p.s. head simpson to work on behalf of the company she was allowed into the country to represent. fusion then hired christopher steele, the british spy who drew on russian sources to produce his dossier. and then they made him available for private briefings on the dossier with left-leaning media sources such as mother jones, "the new york times," "the washington post," yahoo!, "the new yorker," cnn. d by the way, there is the lawyer's social media account, which is decidedly more aligned with the fusion g.p.s. side of the equation than with trump. she was no friend of the trumps. every indication was she wanted the trumps taken down. trump jr. met with her, it appear to be a setup. -- appears to be a setup. patriot guest hosting tonight the other night. some people say, why do you do this media? one of my jobs is to not only be aware of what's going on here, try to vote properly, argue the right way on different bills, but it's also to make sure that people in america know what's going on
