dad s campaign. can we come talk to you? so, there is a direct connection between the business interest that donald trump and the trump organization were working in moscow and whether or not there was a conspiracy between them and u.s. persons to violate federal election law put forward dirt on hillary clinton and help donald trump. and we know that because i m give you one second. we know that because don trump responds in an e-mail that was obtained by the new york times, i think first, was, i love it. heilman, what did you want be to say? well, the other thing is there is the question of donald trump wanting to do business in russia. what there is a whole history of is donald trump doing business in other places with russians. so, it s not just confined to the question of the actual investments, do i own property in moscow. it s the fact that he was in business with a lot of really shady russians in ecuador, in the caribbean and all over the place. this is where the story ge
business, that the family is very involved in different parts of it. it s our sense that if you look at it, you got under the hood of it, you would see that they are touching all from the top, they re touching all different parts of it, involved in different things. my guess is this is something when the president learned about this that he didn t like because it gets closer and closer to him and his family. jeremy bash, what mike just described is what i heard from a trump ally today. the reason this story is likely to light his hair on fire and i imagine his hair is highly flammable is because of the exposure not for michael cohen, because i understand him to be pretty miffed with cohen and to place all of the responsibility for the stormy daniels debacle squarely at cohen s feet, which is interesting because we ve not heard that cohen was in a hotel room and at a golf tournament with a porn star. but that s for another segment. but that the fear here, i ve heard from two s
donald trump tweeted 90 days ago, something like tick-tock, andy mccabe whose wife ran as a democrat, 90 days to go. donald trump and sarah huckabee sanders, they re going to hide today whatever the outcome, behind career officials at the fbi. i fail to see what andy mccabe did to be wrong. i mean, he worked with the media affairs department at the fbi to shape a story that, as you point out, actually backed the fbi s investigation of hillary clinton. in no way did it help hillary clinton in the campaign. you could argue it hurt her, she did the appropriate thing working through the media affairs office. i don t understand the underlying quote-unquote offense and i take offense to the way sarah huckabee sanders has attacked him. he s an individual, as john and others pointed out, has served our country with distinction. he devoted a career to public
correctional side, this is true of the senate intel committee, by the way. the initial investigations that we had, an obstruction of justice investigation, a collusion investigation. collusion always an imprecise term. as we have proceeded and people have started to look not that there have been huge revelations although th although there have been some, people have started to parse, donald trump s language, this is clear he was using precise language. people also start today look back at the history of the long history of donald trump trying to crack the russian market. this is not a secret to anybody who has moved around the trump organization for a long time he has wanted to be in russia for a long time. you now have i think anybody who is involved in this investigation starting to look at not collusion, but collusion as part of a bigger picture, which is a story about international corruption, international conspiracy, complex financial crimes. this is where the mueller investigati
where he wasn t fully forthcoming with the i.g. about a story that he, i guess, green lit the public affairs office to help shape the coverage of a story that turned out to be very unfavorable for hillary clinton. he allowed the fbi or d.o.j. public affairs officers to shape a story that included some of the fbi agent s concerns about hillary clinton s conduct. so, he helped make a story worse for hillary clinton. and he s also someone we understand to be a central witness in the mueller investigation, a corroborating witness of comey s story of obstruction of justice. and today sarah huckabee sanders called him a bad act or. a bad actor. by most accounts a bad actor. do we have that? let s watch. that s a determination that we would leave up to attorney general sessions, but we do think that it is well documented that he has had some very troubling behavior and by most accounts a bad actor and should have some calls for concern.
