there, in light of what we talked about five days earlier. now, that is interesting. one, there was followup between participants in that meeting, two, it raises hard questions about what the subject of the meeting actually was. what came up? because we know leading up to the meeting there was talk about the russians providing dirt on hillary clinton. now, e-mail traffic after the meeting that seems to reference exactly that. this isn t e-mail traffic between him and donald trump jr., correct? rob goldston, it s between him and one of the russians that was in that room, and also another russian that helped broker the meeting. it is discussing what was d discussed in that meeting. there is a separate e-mail that talks about russia s version of facebook? that s right.
we want to show the timeline to the viewers. you have the papadopoulos meeting, the trump tower meeting and then the e-mails following up the trump tower meeting. it certainly raises more questions. the more pieces of the puzzle, the more questions there are. that s how it works. investigations happen, things come out. there s a hint of things to come, but we don t know what owl those things will be. but one of the important points that adam schiff was making is, you can t really rely on the denials made by people who are under investigation. i know the president has said on a couple of occasions, vladimir putin denies something, so i take him at his word if prosecutors and investigators over the course of time walked away when one of their tacts said, i didn t do it we would have massive unemployment in the ranks of people who are investigators, and the jails would be empty, because that s not how it works. investigators have to proceed, have to look at things and not just take
invoking something more broad. there s attorney/client, spousal, priest, but no father/son. if two people talking in front of a priest you can t claim no lot of times people plant a lawyer to give aura of privilege issue. parties and investigators have to work that out. but simply a person with law degree sitting at table while two other people have a conversation mobsters used to do it all the time. not saying they re mobsters. but cc a lawyer or bring them to sit at meeting, that by itself does not shield. what can house investigators or robert mueller could to
adviser was communicating with the russians. it s a pattern that leads me to conclude he s lying. let s just play his explanation of how he forgot and then remembered the papadopoulos meeting. i do now recall the march 2016 meeting at the trump hotel that mr. papadopoulos attended, but have no clear recollection of the details of what he said at that meeting. after reading his account and to the best of my recollection, i believe that i wanted to make clear to him that he was not authorized to represent the campaign with the russian government or any other foreign government for that matter. so again, he says he didn t remember. can you prove he s lying? if so are you going to move to bring some kind of perjury charge? i couldn t do that, but special counsel mueller could. keep in mind that you are doing this campaign, and there s lots of stuff going on, but russia is really weird.
and i think it is quite interesting that the majority leader of the senate is going out of his way to say the best person for that alabama seat is the current attorney general. that may say something about what bengals whether sessions would like the get out of that job. from a testimony standpoint, it s never good if you have to come back three times to reveal what you could have done the first time. no doubt. you have to clean things up as many times as he has, it creates credibility questions. these questions he sing and the papadopoulos meeting, you have to believe this meeting, to believe it is a real problem. you have to believe it is a high level confab of real players. the reality is as far as i can tell, it was a photo op set up to give the appearance they had a foreign policy team. they didn t have a foreign policy team. they had a photo op. this thing met one time. i m not surprised he can t remember what happened in a photo op.
