scott free. if you are remotely connected to donald trump, you get people like robert mueller and andrew wiseman and his team of partisans coming after you with a vengeance. and really abusing their positions of power. and that is part of the story of the russia hoax. and you are right about bruce orr and christopher steele. i mean steele is on the payroll of hillary clinton and the fbi. when they fire him for being a liar they continue to use him in violation of fbi regulations. they were devious about it. they had bruce orr as a conduit. and the other amazing thing is even after the president is elected, after he takes office after several months after, they are still using christopher steele as a spy on donald trump. trying to verify the unverifiable dossier. >> and another big discussion about the trump tower meeting. and the allegation is that this meeting between donald junior and the russian amounted to some kind of conspiracy. they do not use were collusion i think the legal terminology would be conspiracy because information is the same thing as money. but i am looking at it and no info

reporting that we saw last week that the president -- that robert mueller is assessing the president's tweets as part of this body of evidence. >> eugene scott, what is your read on the import of that meeting? i was talking with ken dilanian last weekend, who said maybe this was overblown, that this is of interest to ken mueller and his team. this is a contrarian view, central to bob mueller's investigation. picking up on what caitlyn said a moment ago, how pivotal was this moment, how does it change the conversation and the story surrounding that meeting, as you see it? >> i think the significance of this meeting needs to be understood, and the context that it wasn't just the president's son who was there. the president's son was a senior campaign adviser. and the president's former campaign manager was there. in addition to jared kushner, who is now in the white house. we're talking about jared kushner, paul manafort, donald trump jr. these are key individuals involved in the trump campaign. this was not some isolated gathering or interaction with someone who was a low-level person involved in trying to communicate with a foreign governmen
