kavalec and steele. much earlier and much more extensive suggested in this notes. m i think we need to look at that and find out if there are other records at thehe state department beyond the ones we recently found in the law suit in september. here is the most important revelation. it is clear now that the that the state department was a major conspirator in building the story.n going back to when the state department invited ukrainian prosecutors here in january of 16 and met with them along national security council and asked them to find dirt on paul manafort, all the way through facilitatingm these contacts with christopher steele, john weiner, victoria newland, kathleen kavalec, three people that probably need to be deposed by congress now so we can find out what they were doing here but you have a state departmentd acting like an extralegal acting like an extralegal arm. that is very troubling. if your job is diplomacy sean: stay right there.
require that folks report foreign offers of interference to the fbi, blocked in the senate. in your view, is mcconnell choosing party over country? well, i don t know exactly what the motivation is. i will just posit the reaction of then president-elect trump in january of 16 who was very skeptical about our reporting. very difficult for him to acknowledge that the russians meddled and successfully so in the election of 2016, because obviously that cast doubt on the legitimacy of that election. and i think that is what is inhibiting republicans who don t want to incur the wrath of the president by casting doubt on the legitimacy of that election. which is regrettable, because the bigger stake here the buried the sangtty and security of the foundations of our political system. i ve heard that explanation
why do you think he decided, then so you re saying he decided on his own to tell congress that talks with trump tower moscow stopped in january of 16? he did it in consultation with his lawyers. the same way according to bob mueller, he did it in consultation with some of the president s lawyers as well. now, that could be true also. john dowd, jay sekulow, ty cobb were the lawyers then. it would be not uncommon since it was a joint defense agreement. i don t know if they participate in the preparation, but they d certainly be told about it, just like he would be told about what other people are doing. that s what a joint defense agreement is all about. just to clarify, talks of trump tower moscow went as late as october or november of 2016, in some form. could be. could be. the president s recollection is i talked about it with him in 2015, 2016, can t tell you the
trump becomes the nominee in may. we know they re figuring out the rnc platform, all of this happening, sword of damocles weaves back in here, maybe a sweetener with russia, we don t know. the timing is important. it s all about the timing. the dispute is did the moscow end in january 16 or june of 16? cohen testified in congress it was january of 16 and now he s saying it s june of 16. they have e-mails showing in june of 16 trying to get approval. trump say who cares. trump is deep in the campaign needing to please the russian government. trump stands in front of the
interest and top priority of the president and the congress. griff griff yesterday, guys, cooperation between the administration and the incoming new president over holding migrants in méxico as asylum applications play out rather than releasing them in u.s. but there s nothing firm on that look for that perhaps later today or later this week. jillian: all right, certainly looking for that. griff, live in washington, thank you. rob: many criticized president trump for handling of the border. jillian: editor of american greatness, globalists are more concerned securing foreign borders than they are our own. donald trump was right when he said two years ago that he was building a movement and he was right building a movement, there s two parts to that, not enough people there who already bought into the trump agenda on day one back in january of 16 or before that to staff all of the positions and so what did he do, he had to grab people from bush, these are people who do not support
