. >> so, richard, rick gates is cooperating with the special counsel.ame directly from him and, if so, mueller knows what they talked about. he has to know, right? >> it probably came from him. well, what we know is there are a lot of trump associates who have had contacts with a lot of russians including russian spies. people have lied about it. some people who have now pled guilty to various crimes who are cooperating with the special counsel, robert mueller, and, of course, this is exactly why president trump and his lawyers may have been contemplating using pardons to try to get people not to talk. but that in itself is going to get the president in deeper trouble. for obstruction of justice, so this is a very bad situation for the president as people are starting to talk to robert mueller about what they know. and, as i say, there are a lot of russians running around making contacts with an awful lot of people who are very close to the president and his campaign. >> there certainly are a lot of dots. whether there are connections, we don't know. li

richard guard to asia trade in particular alex. well it was of what scale of said this when when cooperation view from china seems to be donald trump's point of view as well as trouble could be down the road but is it really down the road we saw the markets bounce as you mentioned earlier today and that's on word from people like steve aminu ssion who's basically said you know what these things are going to work out with the talks with china they're going to happen and is it just might work out and that's exactly the way china looked at it that's what i was basically saying last week to say i told you so but i don't really hate to say i told you so when i'm writing this way because the fact of the matter is donald trump is playing a certain game he understands where china is coming from and china understands where donald trump is coming from it seems that it's one of the few countries in the world when he says jump they don't say how high they know what his plan is and how he's going to break it down but if china had to step back and actually get into a trade war with the united states of america there would be some products that wou

richard painter, what do you make of donald trump at the very time mueller's gotten more cooperation and more progress, donald trump basically down to one lawyer with attorney-client privilege. >> it's a very dangerous situation for the president. he needs to find some good lawyers who will represent him. he's got a lot more exposure, certainly on the criminal side and on i think on the impeachment side for the mueller situation than he does from the stormy daniels situation. looking at it from the lawyers' standpoint, lawyers don't want to get involved with the obstruction of justice investigation by bob mueller, particularly, if the president is going to continue to obstruct justice and may lie above mueller on their watch. no lawyer wants to be the lawyer for a client who is lying to the feds, particularly to bob mueller. the lawyers would love to work the sex scandal side of things. lawyers will work on the side of a sex scandal. it's relatively low risk for the lawyer, lots of great reviews and entertainment. but messing around with bob mueller is not something that a lawyer wan

and also senators mark warren and richard burr, they shared our frustrations that it's been difficult to bring the companies to the table but they're looking to cooperaten a way they did not before >> has this facebook episode made you suspicious of other tech firms that are using data as a core to their business models as well >> yeah. obviously these issues are not just questions for facebook, though the spotlight has fallen on them. it's about how all companies gather and use data. there are two things that consumers are focused on in the last ten days or so. firstly just how much data is being gathered about them. the fact that you have a facebook app on your smartphone, that gathers not just data about facebook but logs your calls, and gathers data from other things you do as well. i don't think people understood how much data was being taken. with the data security breach, the concern is that data is not necessarily safe people might have understood that apps used, services used like twitter and facebook gather information to improve the services they offer to you not that data can be taken from them by a third party an given to a fourth party to

today they signed offensive lineman jonathan cooper...but the biggest name of free agency biggest name of free agency is richardki)the team introduced sherman today at a press conference at levi's stadium.. that's where we find kron 4's kim smith live this evening... kim -- sounds like sherman is already enjoying being with the red and gold... i know, after all those years of taunting the niners... it may seem weird to have richard sherman back in red.. he's used to it from his stanford days.. and he was more than proud to wear it as he was introduced this afternoon as the 49ers new cornerback...-- we got a chance to see the colorful side of sherman... but, he also set the record straight on why taking contract talk was the right move. <it's exactly richard sherman's style... bold colors... bold words... the 49ers new cornerback knows how to make a statement... and he's making it clear, he made the right decision to come back to the bay..(sherman: i wouldn't have taken the visit first if i didn't feel comfortable with what the they offered as a team and their chances at competing and winning.)r

richard gates in the lobbying efforts in ukraine. last month gates pled guilty to financial fraud and lying to investigators. special counsel robert mueller's prosecutors will drop two dozen charges against him in exchange for his cooperation. it is expected he will be a key witness in the upcoming trials against paul manafort. >> there is no evidence that paul manafort or the trump campaign colluded with the russian government. >> paul manafort faces 23 felony counts. first trial in july for bank fraud. then expected to face a second trial in washington this fall on charges related to his lobbying work on behalf of ukraine. peter hardy former federal prosecutor. >> history is against him. if i had to put a dollar on it. he will likely be convicted at trial. yes. and then he will face, significant potential prison time. >> sources close to the case tell cbs news that paul manafort expects to receive a pardon if he is convicted. the "the new york times" reported to day that pardons were discussed by lawyers that previously represented mr. trump and mr. paul manafort. the president's former lawyer said no discussions took place. and the white house denies any pardons have been offered. >> no pardons are under discussion or u

cooperates, he could get a reduced sentence, something that would be pretty significant. thanks very much for that report. let's get more on all of this. democratic senator richard blumenthal is joining us, a member of the judiciary committee. senator, the house and senate russia investigations clearly haven't been on the same page for some time now, but how significant is it in your opinion that house republicans are now rejecting the u.s. intelligence community's conclusion that the russians were trying to help president trump win the election? >> this premature shutdown of the house intelligence committee investigation is deplorable, even more so is the discrediting or attempted discrediting of the intelligence community. and clearly there is profoundly powerful evidence that the russians not only interfered and meddled in the elections but did it to aid donald trump. that fact is denied by the house intelligence committee. but one need only read the penetrating indictment of 13 russian individuals and three entities provided by the special counsel to see that in fact they did it to communicate denigrating information about clinton and support trump. those wo
