your successor at the epa says it is a far away problem and not going to be with us 50 or 75 years. let s hope this administration isn t either. that s all i m going to say. gina mccarthy, good to see you as always, a former epa administrator. we got breaking news. the ceo of online retailer overstock.com has abruptly resigned after making controversial deep state comments. patrick burn announced he was stepping down a short time ago saying it was good for the firm. he had been under fire for releasing a statement about his alleged role in the federal government s investigation into the 2016 election where he called the feds the men in black. he even told the new york times he had a relationship with maria bhoutina the russian operative who used gun rights activism to infiltrate american politics. if everything i just said really confused you that makes two of us. nbc news reporter benecolins who does follow this stuff joins me now because he has been following the conspiracy
about the clinton investigation and all about the mueller investigation. she is spending 18 months in prison for not registering as a foreign agent to the russian government. she worked with this guy who is a russian senator. there is really no doubt about her involvement here especially if you look at things like russian propaganda channels like rt or their foreign embassy. they talk all the time about free maria bhoutina. she has done nothing wrong. if you study russian propaganda at all that means kind of the opposite. that s where we re at. this guy was in this relationship with her, who is a known honeypot, and he s kind of unwilling to concede that and now i think people see the writing on the wall here about how really what was going on. so you actually, a lot of people don t know this. we work in the same unit here, the business technology unit. was this affecting overstock? or their board? was there board concern? the board was concerned about it. they were down 30%. right
