informant who they are calling a spy to try to brand the entire russia investigation as illegitimate. listen to what giuliani told our chris cuomo. here s the issue that i really feel strongly about with this informant, if there is one. first of all, i don t know for sure, nor does the president, if there really was one. okay. that matters because the president is tweeting about one. saying there was one. as for the up and down prospects that the president will sit for an interview with special counsel bob mueller, giuliani made big news saying that mueller s team is making concessions on the scope of what that interview would look like. listen. wednesday night we received a communication from them, we did go through five letters, didn t get a response, and then they sent us a response i can t go into detail, but narrowing the subjects for questioning down to about two. just to be clear, that is the most detail as we go to jeremy diamond at the white house, the most detail an
these two fbi acts who s texts are sort of a central part of this story, including going after the actual members of mueller s team, suggesting that they re democrats. including going after the fbi attorney general andrew mccabe suggesting that he is somehow a democrat because his wife is active in democratic politics and was aligned with a close clinton associate. this is all part of a pattern that i think we can see sort of coming together as mueller gets closer here that trump and trump s allies will use to try to question any adverse findings that the mueller investigation has. and speaking of mueller, rudy giuliani this morning, right, he told he told actually me yesterday in an interview with nbc news that in fact mueller the special counsel team is nownd respond together request for information about a potential presidential interview. he elaborated about that this morning. listen. it s a response hif can t go into detail, but narrowly the
conversations about mar-a-lago. martha: to do learn about general flynn? history has been back in the news now. basically she was just giving it from her perspective, that basically i can t go into detail. basically that when she was questioned about general flynn, she basically told him to speak with a reporter, and happened after that, she was not familia familiar. what she got, she passed out the general flynn. martha: i do want to sqls about the nsa director mike rogers spoke at a hearing today and he talked about the issue of russian meddling and whether or not the white house has been aggressive enough in asking him to pursue it, to add resources to making sure it doesn t happen again when we get to the midterms. here he is. have you been directed to do so given the strategic threat that face the united states? no, i have not. when to agree with me that
and politics as an outsider. it tends to be that it feels like there are more than just the russians involved. there had to have been americans directing whether wittingly or unwittingly, advising them of how to do this. this is far too targeted for someone in russia to kind of figure out the specifics of it. that s what they do. i am sure. i go back to that intelligence collection. again, that is code for spying. to me that means they were recruiting. the other part of this is they didn t go into detail, they were recruiting u.s. persons to do their bidding. > the indictment goes into that about the americans they contacted. the americans they paid. the other thing i think we need to not overlook in this indictment is the extent to wit russians saw the to the help bernie sanders and jill stein and to suppress the vote. so it wasn t just about hillary versus trump. it was also about you know, anybody but hillary or stay home and don t vote. that is a great point. this was a if ther
conde nast says that s the most subscribers any of their magazines has gotten in a 24-hour period. twitter is kind of a blunt instrument. you can t use a lot of nuance. you can t go into detail. you can t necessarily zero in or explain complicated situations in a way that people will always get. and as in the case of vanity fair, it had the opposite effect of what he wanted. what s interesting, ryan, vanity fair is using donald trump s hatred of the publication and graydon carter to actually advertise and try to win more subscribers and make more money. and it s working. it s working, but i wonder, it seems to be markedly difference for other corporations, like ford or boeing or lockheed martin or carrier whom he has attacked. they can t really come out and use that as advertising, right? why is it different for them? it s very different for we in
