That all happening all at once. Maybe its a coincidence, maybe thats what happens when the charges start to get filed. They all interrelate. They must be at least some level read into whats going on in muellers shop, we would hope. This all looks like its designed to protect donald trump. Not get at the meat and potatoes of what russia did to us. I feel like so much of what were seeing is it to protect donald trump i dont know maybe im a little paranoid thinking that is disturbing. None of us are naive. But the part of it that i have been a little bit dismayed by is that its one thing for people who are partisans of the trump

But Dont Try To Drag Donald Trump into this, dont try youre saying that he was involved in this to try to undercut his election. He won his election fair and square. And
it possible for reporters who needs to write the real and true story to get it out there. the reason why we are talking about this is because vice president biden fought back. stay with the washington post. yes, you know on this program we are not going to read that story. come on, this is like the ukraine, remember the uranium story, we are not going to pretend it is a real story and debate it on washington. at the same time the tactic worked before because most people don t listen to the story. that s all they end up knowing. there is a great piece by ashley parker that s in the washington post in your paper and it was published on friday. ukraine if you are listening, donald trump on friday seems to make a similar request of

joining us now. chief of staff to janet reno. david korn from mother jones. and natasha bertrand. she s been closely following russia s involvement in the 2016 u.s. presidential election. i m going to start with you, natasha. does it feel like this might be, rather than the beginning of the story, maybe the crest of a story that began 48 hours or so ago, when we started to hear this alternate collusion theory? absolutely. this puts into context all of the distractions, that we ve been getting out of the republicans over the last week. and aided by the president this morning, now we know there s no collusion between donald trump and russia, it s all hillary clinton. the uranium story that mysteriously disappeared after 11 years. this is foreshadowing something
in the uranium one investigation, are you trying to chin up your own russia investigation and where is the presidents evidence that hillary clinton colluded with the russians as he tweeted this morning? any specific involvement, the president has pushed for transparency if that s what you are referring to. jesse: the cnn legal analyst seem to find the genesis of the uranium story. this whole uranium thing, it comes from fox news. i mean, this is a closed investigation that came up in peter schweizer s book, clinton cash in 2015. i mean, if that makes it exactly. the book came out in 2015. it was one of the accusations, it s been discredited. two years later, fox news and republicans in congress and
