defamation lawsuit against christopher steel and the intelligence firm. the dossier didn t really say anything all that damning about alpha bank. it described herman khan. he described them as having a close relationship with putin. they said significant favors continue to be done in both directions. still giving still giving informal advice to putin. especially on the u.s. so that s what s in the steel dossier. they could each other favors. further, they maybe funneled money to putin in his st. petersburg days. this is not the world s most salacious stuff.
he s got no shame. what could be embarrassing? yeah, money maybe. money? or just something that remains to be seen somehow. i don t think the salacious stuff will embarrass him. i think you re right about money. i think at the end of the day, he has a lot of leverage over him. he s indebted to a bunch of russian oligarchs. this is my theory when i m at home by myself thinking about this stuff. there s no evidence. you poor, poor man. but i think it s really because the one thing he doesn t want to be revealed he could be revealed as a fraud in a whole number of different areas, but when it comes to money, he cannot be seen. that s why we haven t seen his taxes. that s right. but the other thing is, of course, if there is a central thing that s being covered up, once you start covering it up, you can never stop covering it up. and that s where the that s where someone has leverage over you. it could even be a very small thing. but the admission of whatever misdem
all right, this makes sense, this makes sense, this makes sense. some of the more salacious stuff, he s right, we haven t seen any proof one way or the other as to whether or not it s true. but i think your question is the appropriate one, which is has anything been soundly disproven about the steele dossier. and i would agree with jim clapper. i haven t seen anything. but perhaps even more importantly, where is the innocence on this? in other words, what is the story that donald trump and his team would actually like us to believe? how do you put this all together? was it, as was just mentioned, it was all just, you know, the most innocent, it being a pay for play kind of thing, or was it deeper, was it s it espiona collusion? because the facts have not been disproven, and even under the best case scenario, they pose a problem. ron, do you think comments like this from clapper are helpful or do they just help the president, as i said before, james clapper,
saying we need to have this information because we need to understand what you want us to keep privilege. so that when the teams are looking at this, they know what is attorney-client privilege and what s not. kimberly: greg. sean hannity issuing a statement saying he never actually retained or transacted with michael: in terms of paying him but that he would consult them from time to time on certain matters and that he has eight attorneys. he uses that for a variety of different greg: full disclosure. i am a secret client of jacoby and myers. i had an accident with a piccolo. they got me a six-figure settlement. so thank you. leave it to sean to be part of a scandal and have the least salacious parted. his stuff is so common sense. i love this. i loved it so much for you go on twitter. everybody was convulsing with joy over this news.
i don t get it. this was supposed to be a serious piece, a higher loyalty. he is the ethical one. it looks so casual to me. i found that kind of strange. it might sound petty, but it was something that struck me. kimberly: our head of wardrobe wouldn t like that. greg: he would get a phone call immediately. jesse, jon tester refused jim comey s apology to hillary. jesse: one of the reasons i don t think the book is going to do as well as a lot of people say. there s a huge anti-trump appetite in this country but he has no natural base. the left doesn t really like him. the right doesn t really like him. what were the bombshells? a lot of salacious stuff, which i think wasn t even as delicious as the fire and fury stuff. in terms of bombshells, look at it on substance. he says what? he may be compromised by the russians. it s a possibility he obstructed justice. that said? maybe he is a liar and a leaker, and maybe it s possible trump
