Theyd been planning for this big rally due to happen the morning after boris got killed. Ultimately it turned into a funeral march and ultimately they wouldnt even let alexei go to boris proper funeral. They locked him up and held him on charges of illegal leafletting on the day boris had his funeral and was buried. Well, now as we have talked about before on this show, Alexei Navalny, the survivor of that friendship, he is running for president of russia against Vladimir Putin. They have election this is Time Next Year and putin and his government, they do keep finding ways to put alexei in jail. The most recent rabbit they pulled out of a hat was they had him convicted on embezzlement charges against a staterun russian company, something having to do with timber futures . Nobody believes it was a real case but it was a real conviction and technically that conviction disqualifies Alexei Navalny from rubbing against putin. Keeps him off the ballot. That embezzlement conviction they coo
Friday afternoon. And you never know who youll run into when you fly the friendly skies. Two gentlemen just found that out. Take a look at this absolutely fascinating photo. From politico. Taken at the d. C. Airport. On the right, donald trump jr. On the left, Robert Mueller, the man investigating events involving don jr. And his dad. The only thing more awkward, if they sat next to one another on the plane. It just so happens, juniors infamous meeting in the trump tower is one of the biggest news stories of the day. The first accusation that trump knew about a direct link between his campaign and the russians. This is coming from the man who was trumps closest ally. Trumps exlawyer, Michael Cohen, says he is ready to talk to ron mueller. Again, the man in that photo, that trump was aware of that trump tower meeting in june 2016 ahead of time. That is the meeting where russians sat in trump tower with a number of folks in the campaign, the top campaign officials, including don jr. Ther
Scrapped. Just a short time after saying it was a good time to meet with the putin, trump canceled. The official reason was the confrontation between russia and ukraine. Coming right after Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to congress about efforts to build a trump tower in moscow during the 2016 president ial campaign. It comes as were learning tonight that one idea for marketing trump tower moscow was to offer Vladimir Putin, the 50 million according to felix sater, a russian born onetime business associate of trumps who worked on the project with Michael Cohen. Confronted with news of cohens plea, the president dismissed him as weak, claimed it didnt matter because he could do whatever he wanted during the campaign. But remember, all this means is that will then candidate trump was trying to do business with russia in the middle of a campaign that russia interfered in to help elect him. So lets discuss now. Lots to discuss. John dean is here, jack quinn. Good evening. Todays dev
Rulings from the judge oh, and by the way, i want the recordings of the intimidating phone call from the president s lawyer when he called you in the middle of the night and told you not to cooperate and the phone call of you talking to the russians and im ordering the Justice Department tote publicly release an unredacted Mueller Report. The thing about wanting to hear the recording makes perfect sense to me because when you read the transcript of the reporting in the Mueller Report as im about to do on tv, there are what appear to be edits in it. Theres these little ellipses throughout. They seem to be taking words out for whatever reason and so it makes perfect sense that the judges want to know okay, i need everything thats in that, especially since that call is taken to be in the Mueller Report a piece of the obstruction of justice case. Thats right. And you know, the ellipses when you have a block quote like that and its got ellipses and its about what one person in a conversatio
It. Theres these little ellipses throughout. They seem to be taking words out for whatever reason and so it makes perfect sense that the judges want to know okay, i need everything thats in that, especially since that call is taken to be in the Mueller Report a piece of the obstruction of justice case. Thats right. And you know, the ellipses when you have a block quote like that and its got ellipses and its about what one person in a conversation was saying its often because theyre taking a recording of a conversation between two people or whatever. But that was i an recording of a voice mail. Right. So the ellipses in the edited pieces or whatever you really want to know whats in there. Ea apparently we the public will re get the transcript. The judge is it going to get the recording. I i wouldnt be surprised if we co ultimately get the recording, too. Before you go, one little note that struck me that was , part of what was unredacted, th too. D, it says Michael Flynn was subject to
