house, do intel agencies here, put into what kislyak says? it s an interesting question, christi, because there is the possibility that kislyak was lying to his own boss, right? sort of saying, i got some really great information here, and just was maybe goofing off a little on the job. the other possibility, though, to keep in mind, is maybe he pried information out of sessions that sessions was not aware he was delivering. in the nature of the spy business, maybe a small piece of information helped the russians figure out something that they wanted to know. and i guess the third possibility is that, you know, none of this really amounted to very much, but that they were, in fact, talking about the campaign, maybe sessions didn t recall it, didn t assign it very much importance, but the reality is, we now have yet another version of information that really should have been disclosed up-front. and let s listen here, together, to what jeff sessions said back in march, just to be spe
front door and say would you like to work for russian intelligence. you can ask questions. this campaign process is interesting. help me understand the places as a.b. was talking about where hillary clinton was vulnerable. that may influence the russian campaign. you see this countless times in the spy business. it is not about recruiting people knowing they are working for you. it is recruiting people who don t. that is the path that is important. david gregory, from russia to montana. the candidate who was caught on audio tape and by witnesses, assaulting a reporter won. he is now going to congress. what are we to make of what happened with greg gianforte? it didn t have a impact. is that because voters weighed this and said it wasn t important enough to punish him
different subject. you saw a reporting about the acting attorney general sally yates that she is prepared to testify that general flynn when he was national security adviser, she warned the white house that he potentially could be vulnerable to blackmail by russians. talk us to. you used to work with the cia. what does it mean he could be subject to blackmail? let s get off the soap opera and cut to reality. if you go in as ambassador to russia, you know the president is sympathy to vladimir putin. you know the secretary of state has a relationship to russia. michael flynn is sympathetic to russia. why upset the apple cart by suggesting any element of blackmail? the story is much simpler. mike flynn lied to the vice president. this is a story about integrity. not a story about the spy business. if she goes down and says this
of or are they just lying about anything. you can t take anything they say seriously. when you read that research document it refers to people like the russian em agray on trump s team. it describes people on the trump team. with you as somebody who s in the spy business, were you able to kind of guess who they were talking about. there s no guessing. this is called tracking back. these aren t back stop. these things have holes in it that any investigative organization could quickly fall back and determine who that individual is. russian intelligence is probably doing that right now, so people s lives could be at risk over this document. just because they just don t like the leaks. but let me touch back on that carter page moment, maybe sean spicer doesn t quite understand that despite the fact that he may not have been aware of that, it has been out there for some time that this guy was playing fast and loose. he may have had meetings with people of significance i
and i converse regularly on television and weeks ago, i asked you a question about why so many people seemed to be bending over backward to give russia and putin a especially the benefit of the doubt. you profited weeks ago that donald trump has been compromised some how, my question to you as our friend in the spy business, what did you know and when did you know it or was this a signatuurmise on you? my book is analysis of all known information and not being a jurournalist, i am a spy. i see things differently and exact same way of how the cia does. it is most likely the presidential daily
