by the way, that s where we are, ari melber talks about rap and his rap artists that he heard last week. i talk about carpenter songs that i listen to on my parents carroo in 1971 and that s how it will be forever. so, john, you say that there may be a case for collusion yet. talk about your column and where you think we are right now. so i think we have in the information we ve got last week the first substantive narrative that suggests that something that started with russian intelligence ended up coming out of donald trump s mouth. that doesn t mean that he was knowingly part of a collusion, but, in other words, lucifer 2.0 develops intelligence through hacking about the dnc s claims, guccifer 2.0 apparently is in contact with a radio talk show host who talks to jerome corsi,
u.s./russia relationship, abby, is the u.s. government, the u.s. intelligence community s conclusion that russia stole e-mails, hacked into the u.s. election system for all practical purposes, provided those stolen e-mails, those texts to wikileaks, lucifer 2.0, which in turn supposedly that s the allegation was working with trump campaign officials. right. and that very issue is something that president trump has struggled with for about two years now. and he continues to gloss over it. we should say. because i think over time he s gotten to the point where he s been willing to acknowledge the assessment that russia did meddle in the election in 2016. but he s been trying to kind of put that behind him. and this would have been this g20 would have been another attempt to do exactly that. once again, the mueller probe has gotten in the way of that in the eyes of the president and in the eyes of his about on twitter a pattern of
conversations with lucifer 2.0, that he says he was talking to julian assange. of course, now he says he wasn t. right. and so, who else in america was talking to julian assange and guccifer 2.0 in 2016? no one and roger stone is a key confidant of donald trump. so we know that there s that part of it. we know that there s that meeting at trump tower, and more importantly, we know things happened before that meeting that related to that june 4th email where goldstone wrote to donald junior saying that the russian government is supporting your father s campaign and that we have certain documents to bring to you. now we don t know what happened. we know there were other phone calls in between. true. we know there were other emails in between. robert mueller knows all of this because he has paul manafort who is laying all of this out. so what s really going on now is that they re putting together a case. they re putting together an indictment on a number of people. it s not going
expects to be charged with a crime now. he said that michael cohen has flipped. well, i think that there are parallel investigations going on. michael cohen, they are looking at financial improprietiempropr. and russian hacking. public reports with lucifer 2.0. and contacts with wiki leaks, i think that is the part they are looking at. many of roger stone s associates said they have been to the grand jury. he may know something that we don t. perhaps there has been additional witnesses, it wouldn t surprise me. he is a figure i would want to know about. he has been a close associate of
said, manafort couldn t be that good at it because gets done matt gaetz allegedly stole money. today, a slight victory for the prosecution, ed. he said that he will tell the jury to ignore what he said, to ignore those more those more opinionated remarks, and instead, focus on the evidence. ed: was focusing on something else. there are reports out there that long term trump advisor roger stone might be next in mueller s cross hairs. but he hearing about that? is looking like. he s come under scrutiny for his connection to wikileaks and lucifer 2.0, whose strzok was a digital friend for brunch and intelligence officers, and now,s bringing in a growing number of people, from stones in our circle, to testify before a grand jury, including that man. i don t know anything about russian collusion. i never worked for roger in 2016, if i am being brought into testify about his character or
