kilimnick and russian officials. this is a situation where remember collusion is the activity. conspiracy is the crime. that mueller found collusion, but wasn t sure whether it rose to the level of a conspiracy. and one of the things that may have turned out between volume 2 and one. the obstruction may have been sufficient to prevent mueller from discovering the under lying crime here. of conspiracy. interesting. interesting. so listen, phil, contradicting the claim of no collusion. indictments of a half dozen trump associations as well as all of the people that have been charged here. which includes dozens of russians. do you have any degree of confidence that this administration takes russia s multiple attempts to interfere with the elections seriously? this is one of the most
statements that happened when witnesses came before as part of the russia investigation in the last congress there have been other suggestions some trump associations have been less than truthful with this committee and that mueller s team could decide whether or not to prosecute those individuals. back in december the same committee, the house intelligence committee did send to mueller roger stone s transcript of his closed door interview and of course he is being accused by the mueller team of not telling the truth to investigators. we ll see what mueller ultimately decides and how it impacts his investigation, whether it prolongs the investigation. democrats have said they have been pushing for this for some time. they have found resistance within republican ranks in the last congress. today it was approved by a vote on this committee to send the transcripts over to mueller. we ll see what he decides to do
independent counsel investigation.f key portions remain hidden from view. congress has every right to see them, our constitution requires our elected representatives to supervise the department of justice, why is that? so thathe bureaucrats with masse law enforcement and surveillance powers remain accountable to voters. we give them guns, let them arrest us, sentenced to prison allow them to break into our private email accounts, tap our phones, they have a lot of power. in return, they l promise not to misuse thatmi power. if there s any question about their honesty, we get to check. that s what transparency is. the permit bureaucrats hate transparency, they would rather do their work in secret. it is the shield that protects them from our scrutiny and not case.n this consider the house intelligence investigation into russian collusion. it took a year to complete, the final report ran to 253 pages. the rest of us couldn t read it because key facts were missing. how many trump associat
did not have permanent security clearance. that is why this was brought to his attention. rob porter has been rising via ranks here. taking on a lot of other responsibilities and talking about leaving the west wing at the end of last year. john kelly we are told urged him to stay on in this position and one of the reasons it looked like he tried hard to keep him. allegations disturbing but true. at a time when there is ongoing conversation about harassment and abuse, other allegations against trump associations and himself more on that from randi kaye. reporter: a bizarre altercation caught on tape. i can t believe you just did that. that was so hard.
propaganda at times which did happen. but what did happen was his campaign manager cited russian propaganda seven days after it had been debunked in august of 2016. we see lots of lines that are pushed by the kremlin that are fed into information briefings, and so the otherart is the coordination. we see hacks, we see leaks, and those are very sink rynchronize come out quickly with the campaign in august, cemenseptem october. that tends to lend to the belief there was coordination. you think that trump associations, either the candidate himself were citing what we would call fake news spread by these fake russian news organization cincinnati. it goes both ways. sometimes they would cite fake news put out by russian state propaganda. where they did it knowingly or unknowingly you can t tell. other times they would put out fools hoods that were used as talking points by the russians. the president has been in office more than 60 days.
