i am joined by a civil prosecutor in new york. you are here on your birthday. happy birthday. thank you. everyone can weigh in on that once we re gun the show. when you see roger who has changed his story before, going from backing up people like jerome coursei to publicly attacking him, what does that tell you? it tells us he s feeling the heat and trying to carve out some space for himself in the spin machine. what we already know is that he tried on get a cover story from jerome corsi who himself said on your show. it was about creating a different picture of e-mails they were exchanging in the summer of 2016 around julian assange and another release of e-mails. and remember, his podesta e-mail comments about podesta being the
