unlike those trying to cover up for donald trump like manafort and others. he should not get a pardon the way that donald trump pardoned them. >> do you think the arrest makes any difference in the work you did if you had known it would it have changed úanything? >> if we knew that christopher steal source was lying to him, of course, we would have known to agree with whatever christopher steal produced with skepticism. donald trump did what he did which was invite the russians to cheat in the election. make use of the help and coordinate when wikileaks was going to publish what the russians stole from his opponent. none of that under donald trump complicity in that misconduct aired and none reflects after the russian misconduct to get ukraine into helping him cheat in the next election. donald trump's role in inciting a resident insect insurrection against his own government. i view it as a distraction that the fox news crowd likes to suggest that we should ignore everything donald trump did because it wasn't used by mueller. >> let's turn to your book in w

yeah, that manafort and that stone. so while atwater's own direct work wouldn't continue that much longer, and he died a few years later of brain cancer, his influence is seen and felt in republican national politics for decades. the only difference on the timeline from atwater to protegee karl rove in the bush jr. white house to former partner paul manafort on the trump 2016 campaign is that as president, the donald didn't even bother using coded language. he said outright that white nationalists were very fine people and told freshmen congresswomen of color the squad they should go back to where they came from. openly and crudely racist comments. that alienated a lot of white suburban voters. trump did not win reelection, despite what he claims. but this past week, it became clear that the modern day post-republican party, if we can call it that, has returned to the safer shores of the lee atwater playbook. glenn youngkin who like bush in 1988 came from behind in the polls to win last tuesday in virginia didn't campai

dolan responded by saying he just received dirt on paul manafort, who was donald trump's campaign managerthe time from "a g.o.p. friend." it was all a lie. according to today's indictment, "dolan later acknowledged to the fbi he never met with a g.o.p. friend in relation to this information he passed to danchenko, but rather fabricated the fact that the meeting and his communications with danchenko. throughout 2016, dolan and other political operatives and fed lies. that one of demchenko's sourcest believe the aid would "take me to the state department if hillary wins." danchenko himself also lied about traveling to the moscow hotel in the summer of 2016. a trip where he supposedly gathered information about the infamous pee tape. danchenko lied about all of this to the fbi. so the big question is, how did danchenko's lies and all of his bogus conversations with these sources get into the steele dossier? who connected danchenko to christopher steele? well, the indictments as a member of the national security council named fiona hill first introduced danchenko to steele.. if that name soun

conversely, paul manafort was convicted after four days. hard to say that the length of time is really that telling. a lot of things can be happening. one thing that has not clearly happened is that the defense did a good job is showing how these counts have a cascading failure. once you decide he acted in self-defense, with regard to rosenbaum, they did a good job in saying well then you have got to discount this count and they went through them. that clearly hasn't happened. they probably could have done that right off. but it can be that they reached an agreement on some counts and they have dead locked on others. one of the things you sort ofn look for with a deadlocked jury is if they send out a question that seems more like an intervention question. that it's a try to get the judge to help break things up. sometimes you will see a question like you know, if we find x, should we do y? and it sometimes reflects just an impasse in the jury. or they can actually send out and this could happen tomorrow, a notice that they are dead locked.

it's let's just call it a weird coincidence in 2016 he was involved with manafort's efforts to give polling data to ukraine and russia. now he seems his name has come up again. we are still waiting pore more details. ukraine is facing a number of threats internal and external and they all point back to one direction, and that's moscow. . >> jthey said they believed it was going to happen as soon as next week. do we know any more about the recordings? >> well, zelensky gave a press conference. he didn't give us much detail. i'm sure there will be more written about this in the coming days. one would think if the plot were scheduled for next week announcing it would force the plotters to reschedule. it seems like it might not happen this week. the threat remains. no matter what the details are, you know, when part of what zelensky has been doing, in addition to resisting russian aggression, is trying to clean up the oligarchs in the system and they are naturally fighting back. they have a lot of problems, energy, politics, the russian threat. they are calling on european and american support.

dossier according to a court filing, one claim about infighting in the trump campaign when paul manaforto prosecutors dolan lied about where he got the information appearing in the dossier as coming from a gop friend who was allegedly a close associate of trump durham says dolan was indirectly linked to multiple claims in the dossier surrounding putin and officials in the russian government including information about putin firing an adviser for insisting russia would receive no blowback for its role in meddling in the u.s. election. durham also indirectly connects dolan to a separate, unverified claim that a russian diplomat in the u.s. was recalled to avoid exposure over election interference. >> when i leave our country i am a very high profile person would you say? i am extremely careful. >> reporter: the indictment indirectly associates dolan to one of the most salacious accusations of the dossier the infamous pee tape of trump and prostitutes inside a russian hotel. the indictment suggests in june 2016 he used basic information learned by dolan about trump staying in the hotel suit

he was the source for the information, some of the most salacious allegations against paul manafort and the ritz carlton hotel. all of that was make believe. it was bogus. folks within the law enforcement community, particularly, were aware of that and yet used it illegally and peddled it for a great period of time for political -- for a political purpose, which is just not only inappropriate but as you're finding out criminal as well and i expect -- i said a long time ago to you, maria, i expect there will be many indictments. i haven't backed off of that and i continue to think there will be many indictments based on the intelligence that i gave to john durham and that i have seen. maria: yeah. and what happens to all of your colleagues on the left who attacked you throughout the years that you were trying to educate and inform the american people, adam schiff saying there was collusion in plain sight. he saw what you saw as a congressman, he saw what devin nunes saw as a congressman on the intel committee. how did he come out and go on msnbc and cnn and say there was collusion in pla

paul manafort there as well. jared kushner there as well.t's take a macro view. i told you what the trigger was, let's think about this -- here's the question. and i don't claim to have an answer to this. through 2016, if you were a gambling person, if you want to make book, most of the bookies would tell you hillary clinton is probably going to win. the democrats are probably going to win. hillary clinton's probably going to win. russia is a country with an economy about the size of italy. it is an enormous risk for the russian state to intervene in the extreme way in an american election against the person that's probably going to win. why did they do that? they had never done anything like this before. in the communist days they would do little espionage things but never so much against one candidate, for another, in the face of negative odds. why? why? why? that's the question. then you look at the long history of financial relationships between trump and bad actors in russia. maybe the answer is there. we don't know because when robert

one claim was about infighting within the trump campaign when paul manafort resigned.e got the information, appearing from the gop friend who was a close associate of trump. dolan was indirectly linked to multiple claims of the dossier surrounding putin and officials in the russian government including information about putin firing an adviser for insisting russia would receive no act for meddling in the u.s. election. a russian diplomat, was recalled to avoid exposure over election interference. when i leave our country, i'm a very high-to file person, yould say? it ties dolan to one of the most salacious accusations. the infamous tape of trump to prostitutes inside a russian hotel. the indictment suggests in june 2016 devshenko stayed in the hotel suite and he wasn't told the fantastical details which have never been proven true, and it's still not clear where those salacious details originated. >> does anyone really believe that story? i'm also very much of a germaphobe, by the way. believe me. >> in one case, prosecutors say denshenko made up a conversation with th

both paul manafort it took them four days to convict on eight counts.ver the case in terms of that. also you can never guess what's going on in the jury room. we really have no idea. this ask to view this video doesn't say much, but in terms of the prosecution, the prosecution has been a disaster across the board. when the judge was talking about reconsidering broadcasting a live trial, just think about the testimony of the prosecution witness who comes in front of the jury and says -- and i'm paraphrasing about pointing a gun at kyle rittenhouse. i think that was the moment publicly that everyone heard that on thought, this is not what we were sold by the media in terms of an open and shut case against kyle rittenhouse. >> emily: we are getting reports now that the jury has two more questions. it's unclear what they are at this moment. the judge is going back into his chambers while he waits for the attorneys to return to the courtroom, so we'll keep you updated on that. dagen, tear point, no one ever knows what's going on in the jury room, and everybo

he talks about paul manafort giving russia polling data. that's it. schiff's proof of trump-russia collusion? that idea he had no way to know whether a top source was lying when everybody in the fbi was talking about that in d.c., and it was getting leaked to the media that this steele dossier was baloney. everything adam schiff said there could be challenged. what do you say, jim trusty. >> should be challenged. two things are fundamentally dishonest. the first to to pretend he was all about the investigation. he didn't prejudge anything and he is glad they investigated it if they didn't turn out to be true. going back to steele, the well-respected spy, james bond story. christopher steele was fired because of his choice to go to the media. the media laundered his information through bruce ohr in 2017. bruce ohr warned the fbi, this guy hates trump. all this was known to adam schiff. he is literally accessing the classified information back in 2017. elizabeth: right. >> for him to claim surprise at this point is just a h absurd. you wonder if lightni

that's the republican senate intel committee chaired by marco rubio saying manafort's position on the with individuals closely affiliated with russian affiliate services represented a, quote, grave intelligence threat to the united states of america. here's some more light reading. the committee found vladimir putin ordered the russian effort to back computer networks and accounts affiliated with the democratic party and lack information damaging to hillary clinton and her campaign for president. moscow's intent was to harm the clinton campaign, tarnish an expected clinton presidential administration, help the trump campaign after trump became the presumptive republican nominee, and undermine the u.s. democratic process, so said marco rubio's senate intel committee run by republicans. on the man who kicked off the federal investigation into the 2016 trump campaign, by the way, not steele, but the man who actually kicked it off? the committee found that papadopoulos likely learned about the campaign in as early as 2016 with a maltese academic with russian tice well before confirmation

if you take a look at paul manafort, it took four days for those jurors to convict him in a case with 16 counts. it can be a prolonged deliberation. this may just be a jury that is doing due diligence as opposed to being deadlocked. that's why these later questions are going to be interesting if they are more substantive instead of just mechanical or procedural. as for the request to see the video, we all expected that. that is something i doubt most jurors would feel comfortable ruling until they got another look at what happened. they're going to be looking at that in the courtroom. council's going to be remaining silent unless a grave error occurs and the jurors are allowed to watch as many times as they want. they're allowed to speak amongst themselves in these demonstration evidence and viewing. as andy said and quite correctly, usually they look at this in the jury room and they can discuss it as they are reviewing it. my guess is that the judge wants him to feel comfortable even though under state rules, they have to view this with the judge in the courtroom. the judge felt tha

the first is a donald trump's campaign chairman paul manafort have been giving russian intelligence during race. but i also think donald trump has always wanted to build a mosque out trump tower. and had been lying to our country about his pursuit of that deal during his potential campaign and i think you still want to build that tower and he feels probably that it would be crazy for him to alienate vladimir putin, the man who can make that most lucrative of deals possible. so in that case, a lot of the cover my passis in that case, a lot of the cover my pass is right out there in the open now and this for president is motivated by nothing so much as greed. and i think that's a large part of the explanation. bud greed. and i think that's a large part of the explanation. and the micro to which _ part of the explanation. and the micro to which came _ part of the explanation. and the micro to which came from i part of the explanation. and the micro to which came from the i part of the explanation. and the i micro to which came from the side. did you discount all of it or was there some you ca
