tell me about the news that i believe you broke or our colleagues here broke, right, about rob goldstone. he s the music promoter that was the go-between between the agalarov family and donald trump jr. who setting up this trump tower meeting. e-mails from goldstone with this famous language about help from the russian government and the russian crown prosecutor s office which doesn t exist but there s a russian federal prosecutor. so rob goldstone who is living out of the country, my colleague has told is prepared to be interviewed by the grand jury and what he knows about meeting and how it was set up. that s really important because there s a lot of questions about that. about whether there actually was information promised from the russian government and under what circumstances the trump team agreed to this meeting. this seems to be dangerous for the trump team.
else, what about this source, that source, doing good, steady investigative work. but the fbi already has all the best stuff that he developed. all right. we ll see where it goes. all the best stuff that we have gotten is just from accusations that have been made in that dossier but connected dots from the trump organization to the agalarov family to the prugs u russian prosecutor the interests that many members of the interior trump team had with the russian ambassador, kislyak, the meetings they went under reported with, there s already there-there. the dossier is unnecessary. well, in a lot of ways, you know, it s not evidence. it s not evidence. i think it was used to guide some of the fbi folks in the early days what to look for, but it s not evidence. and reporters. and reporters. well, thank you. we will continue talking about this, evelynn, great to see you,
future. if all of a sudden there is a consequence to what he s done, that puts the whole modus operandi of the regime in question. do you think the agalarov are key players or truly just a bridge, a connection from put t in to trump? we know the agalarovs have a connection back to the miss universe pageant. i m sure moscow, the secret police, found a way to get to trump and they found a clear connection. that s how this all connects to this major putin project. bill browder been thank you for your insight. i look forward to talking to you in the future as we know this is not a story going away any time soon. thank you, sir. thank you. joining me now, a journalist specializing in russian and ukrainian culture and politics. erin mcpike, chief white house correspondent at account
