is the action of the charges today relate no way she's rushing from losing wiki leaks elaboration or any other people lack of connection with the frenzy sixty three. i have falsely accused of making false statements during my tenure. and stability that is in fact the air i made in my past would be her material ah and without intent ah i finally heard that the special counsel's office released a press release prior. by expanding the akbar. morning at the crack of dawn twenty nine f.b.i. agents arrived at my home with seventeen vehicles with their lights flashing when they could simply have contacted my church and i would be more than willing to surrender voluntarily. and they terrorize my why my dogs i was taken to the f.b.i. facility although i must say the f.b.i. agents were are extraordinarily courteous i will really not guilty to these charges i will defeat them in iraq i believe this is a politically motivated investigation i am troubled by the political motivations of the our prosecutor. and as i have said previously there is no circumstance whatsoever under which i will bear fa

intelligence community says is a front for russia obviously wiki leaks has denied that pretty vehemently but they're basically saying there was a connection between the trump campaign senior officials it doesn't say exactly who doesn't rule out that it could be the president with stone with wiki leaks now this indictment doesn't make that jump now it could be that they are waiting to use that as leverage for roger stone and just to give you a sense of what's happening now we expect that right now he is in a federal courthouse in florida he's going to find out if he's given bal now in past cases paul metaphor he was given basically house arrest he could leave but he had to stay at her house arrest he was eventually sent to prison for violating that but the special counsel is going to be pushing for him to keep stay behind bars well he waits trial because that's when you really get leverage over people roger stone has said he will never flip on the president roger stone has also led a very comfortable life of luxury and the prosecutors are going to see if that changes if he all of a sudden

that is wiki leaks. outreach from multiple trump campaign officials to stone, significant? >> i think that is very significant. it shows the campaign was actively interested in that source as a way to help themselves. that's really inappropriate. they are looking at another organization which probably with the help and was probably public knowledge about the hacks, they are looking to them for help with the election. that is utterly inappropriate. whether or not you can show the last step of them actually talking or being in touch with intelligence, they are trying to clooud collude. that is important. >> thank you for the legal analysis. thanks to all of you for being with us on a very important significant news filled friday morning. i'm poppy harlow. >> we are catching our breath from quite a couple of hours of news. >>> this is cnn breaking news. >> hello everyone. we are following two breaking developments on two major stories. the russia investigation and the government shutdown. the shutdown now h

but anyway the nine and basically says that stone was acting as a conduit between wiki leaks which we know to basically dumped thousands of hacked d.n.c. democratic e-mails including those from the clinton campaign manager who was trump's rival he was talking to wiki leaks they say he was talking to julian assange its founder and also talking to officials in the trump campaign about when and what wiki leaks had now he's not charged with collusion but he basically is being charged with when he was asked about this to the house intelligence committee they he said basically there's nothing i've had no communication no text messages no e-mails nothing so they're saying that he obstructed that investigation five counts of lying to members of congress which is a felony and the other count is apparently when what he said to explain the fact that he tweeted out in advance that all of these things were going to come that this other guy told him about it while this other guy said i'm going to tell the truth and then stone is alleged to have written an e-mail to him basically saying prepare to d

have been raised about stones communications with the russian hacker and his alleged contacts with wiki leaks but stone has long maintained that he's had no connection to russia's attempts to meddle in the twenty sixteen presidential election. a white house correspondent joins me now from washington d.c. is quite early in the morning where you are when this arrest actually happened what more do we know about stone and when will he appear in court. right this was roger stone has for a long time been a target of investigators he has been anticipating this could occur so much so that on fridays when these indictments are often laid out we're told that he even started to adapt his calendar expecting that the f.b.i. agents could knock on his door but from the video that has surfaced of the f.b.i. arriving it doesn't appear he was prepared very early in the morning six am local time fort lauderdale florida what we know is that he is due to appear in court in fort lauderdale at eleven am local time that is in about three hours or so that he is expected to appear in court where there is no question t

could direct a senior member of the campaign so the allegation is he was being a conduit between wiki leaks and the charm campaign and that when he was called before the house intelligence committee on this put under oath he was asked flat out were you have communicated he said no no communications no text messages and the problem for stone was before this he would come out and say hey wiki leaks has got this these d.n.c. e-mails or they're going to take a look at the.

could potentially be the president it just says senior officials within the trump campaign and wiki leaks so if the special counsel is able to make that connection and able to prove with intelligence that we can at least is an arm of the russian intelligence service again with the leaks denies that then you could possibly see how they would be able to make a case for conspiracy but that's not charged in this document still they want to hear from roger stone and they want to see if he is going to flip on his good friend the president of the united states all right and that's what i'm going to ask eric hamm his joining us next patty thank you for the time being so erica is a political strategist is joining us from washington as well so is he going to flip on the president of the united states well i think that remains to be seen but when you look at this indictment and the charges that have been brought against roger stone it's very clear that bob muller is actually looking to make a deal with roger stone to get more information and i think to move further and further up that pyramid which

reporter: marco rubio said over the weekend that working with wiki leaks should be considered a crime. does the president agree? sarah: look, i think every single outlet that you all represent looked for and searched for information that wiki leaks was providing including reporting on it. i think there's a responsibility by members of the media. i'm not aware of anybody here ever working with wiki leaks in any capacity but i do know that every individual that represents a media organization here looks for that information, most of you reported on that information, so i think you're just as accountable as anybody lse in that process. reporter: roger stone last week, paul manafort, michael cohen, michael flynn, are you consider concerned is the president concerned, that as more and more of his associates, former aides, are brought into this investigation, are indicted, plead guilty in the investigation, that this presidency is in danger? sarah: not at all. in fact i think nothing cub fourth from the truth. the more that this goes on, the more and more we see that none of these things ha

to this indictment he mischaracterized particularly in some of his statements what he knew about wiki leaks and its efforts to hack the democratic national committee's e-mails in order to discredit the presidential bid of democratic presidential nominee hillary clinton calls kimberly and the investigation and the arrests and the charges that are associated with anyone close to the trumpet ministration rattles the white house all they commenting at the moment. in fact i think there is something going on as we speak just before i sat down in front of the camera i saw sarah sanders the press secretary speaking to reporters on the white house driveway i did catch some of her comments initially and she certainly is defending this as being something separate from the president she's saying that in fact this has nothing to do with the president she's hopeful that when it comes to prosecution for false statements that in fact the same standard by the special prosecutor will be held to democratic supporters not just republican supporters and associates of the president because we know that roger sor

media that's harder to say than you might think at least today between wiki leaks and the trump campaign and this is one nugget that i think we really need to talk about it says in the indictment that a senior level member of the charm campaign was directed to contact roger stone to get him to contact wiki leaks so that leaves the question are they talking about president trump because who else could direct a senior member of the campaign so the allegation is he was being a conduit between wiki leaks and the charm campaign and that when he was called before the house intelligence committee on this put under oath he was asked flat out were you have communicated he said no no communications no text messages and the problem for stone was before this he would come out and say hey wiki leaks has got this these d.n.c. e-mails or they're going to take a look at this person then when it came clear that the that the investigation was happening and potentially russia being behind that he said no i was just another guy told me all about that so you tried to blame this other person who then said i'm

we know there was interest in the campaign about learning what wiki leaks had.t is all very important. the problem is where does that get you legally? because it's not illegal to learn information that is going to be publically released in advance. the crime would be if they were involved at this stage. typically prosecutors don't charge the release of the information. >> i thought that receiving information from a foreign party could be constituted as some sort of a contribution. if you were giving it as a gift -- >> that is the one possibility, a campaign violation receiving something of value. that is a stretch, i think. receiving something of value from the campaign, it's information that everyone will receive. did it have a special value? there has never been a case like that before. >> what about beyond roger stone's testimony? his word versus his technology and his devices? it is telling, of course, all the coverage went to that morning raid that we saw roger stone being arrested. what you saw less of i think but perhaps equally important is they carried

perhaps he was instructed by the trump campaign to speak with wiki leaks about when hillary clinton's e-mails would be released that seems to be what the documents are alleging but the word russia does not show up at any point in the document however it's interesting to note that at this point we're we're hearing that he was released on bail now the terms of the bail have not been made public however at this point it is it is being widely alleged and reported that it was over two hundred fifty thousand dollars bail that cannot yet be confirmed however we have heard from roger stone now that he has been released speaking about his arrest this is roger stone morning at the crack of dawn twenty nine f.b.i. agents arrived at my home with seventy vehicles with their lights flashing when they could simply have contacted my jersey city and i would be more than willing to surrender a volunteer. they terrorize my wife my dogs and i will not guilty to these charges and i will defeat them in order i believe this is a politically motivated investigation i have trouble by the political motivations

and and wiki leaks which was using stolen documents that was stolen by russia depending on what he has to say to the moment investigation does he have any damaging information he claims he does not he has no evidence of any wrongdoing by anyone but if the term campaign as it is alleged used roger stone as a connection to wiki leaks to coordinate the release of damaging information stolen by russia about the clinton campaign that would be a campaign by finding its violation and we're not sure exactly what he knows about that and what he's willing to say at this point wonderful things indictments they can get people to cooperate because they want to save their own skin we've seen that happening with michael cohen with others and they'll be a lot of pressure on roger stone again he says he saw no evidence of wrongdoing and he won't he doesn't intend to report any but in the end a witness like that someone who is under indictment is likely to do whatever he needs to do to save himself survivors of the auschwitz death camp have gathered at the site to mark holocaust remembrance day follows

wiki leaks to russia and somehow see that there was some kind of funny business going on and kind of legitimize. what they're trying to do this friends back in his board to do this. you know the him it's really interesting is that you eventually previously the crisis of journalism when you know these lou carvings and we have this is german. right and still there's no self reflection by these people whatsoever you know they're always the exception but my sense is they're more the rule they just got caught. or why should they have so reflection if the new york times i guess has just walked puts a price for its russian medlin investigation so what investigating something that was asked not exist and that's the children described by remote you know poor children born by you know when their parents send and even into a get seen on the american in their dreams according to his report so basically what we see with our commission is this situation when people are basically forced to testify against themselves that was the case with which you know that was thinking with flynn basically that w

and roger stone and it goes on to allege that that roger stone was in contact with wiki leaks during the campaign and and may perhaps have had knowledge about what emails of hillary clinton were going to be released this is all alleged now we understand at this point roger stone has been released on bail but his bail was set at two hundred fifty thousand dollars not a small amount of bail that he paid and furthermore we actually have word from the white house serious huckabee sanders speaking for the white house has said that the arrest of roger stone in the indictment against him has nothing to do with the president and now we have donald trump speaking up on twitter about the nature of the arrest and the fact that c.n.n. seems to have been on the scene and recorded how roger stone was arrested this is trump speaking up on twitter about how roger stone was arrested answered these questions before the house. greatest witch hunt in the history of our country new solution border coyote's drug dealers and human traffickers are treated better than who let it sit ins it be that now across

e-mails to wiki leaks. yes they would have it ok but that's not much of a you know it's sort of like rumsfeld saying the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence so we looked at submitted data. and these people can explain it better than i can but it's very simple really. they had one supposed alleged attack that turned out to be downloaded or copied off the web at three times the speed that the internet could tolerate at that time but exactly the same speed that a little from dr could tolerate and so that's how that happened we think a separate thing before june one julian assange engine mounts that he had these e-mails related to hillary clinton we think that's what happened somebody in the d.n.c. physical access to the computer or the server put the thumb drive in it got it somehow to julian assigned now this is the major point and i just want to mention this because not many piece. realize that. even after being briefed up and down by these gang of four on the fifth of january two thousand searchi

him and basically said the reason i was able to tweet out in advance all of these things about wiki leaks is the other guy told me well then the other the other guy said you better tell the truth because i'm going to because i've been subpoenaed and he went on to tell him that he was going to kill him and his dog in text messages which are easily recoverable allegedly according to the f.b.i. so those are the seven charges that roger so now faces very very serious charges and. that he's a very close ally of president trump how worried the president be with this. well he was just said in the message to the president i'm not going to flip but everybody who has been indicted in the mall or probe has said that and pretty much every single one of them has flipped roger stone no doubling down said i'm not going to flip somebody basically flip meaning give evidence against president trump if there's any to be given and we was asked or do expect a pardon from the president he didn't really answer that but it's been misunderstood a little bit the president of the united states has absolute power to

hopes for ecuador and the region will also discuss the controversial case of julian i saw nj the wiki leaks founder who spent the past five years living inside the ecuadorian embassy in london is he a criminal or a hero and then in marino president of ecuador talks to al-jazeera. mr president welcome to talk to al-jazeera are you taking your country from the left politically to the right not listening. you're piercy. if she ever was she was in a pic with. the seal of the cave in the sushi oh yes there was a little. bookie if you live here who will give us the money to see. you could be to meet the people she's from the one of the rich are beautiful the clever the skiff is asleep we will hear they will she must equal theories about the people in by the sea those of us will be others a place shaping ideology is all well and good but that sounds like a very long term prospect the reality is just according to the word but world bank twenty five percent of ecuadorians are classified as being poor ten percent of your countrymen according to the united nations live off forty seven dollars a month

people who were communicating with a person who is understood to be julian assad of the head of wiki leaks at the end where dorian embassy in london coordinating the release of this cache of documents that were extremely damaging were advertised to be extremely damaging the clinton campaign including her one of her campaign managers e-mails so that is one of the things that people are zeroing in on particularly because there is this phrase that people are zeroing in on in the indictment i'm just going to find it here where it says he was a person in the highway king official in the trunk campaign was directed to communicate with stone about specifically this cache of documents that was going to be released and it's unclear who was doing the directing there so now people are wondering how much did trump actually know was it trump who made those directions gave out those instructions to his associates in the campaign and if so how can trump still be claiming that he didn't know what was going on and he had no association with stone ok given what you just said there i mean what does this now
