from all indications i think it s going to be good. i m not as convinced the ig report is going to be helpful to just one side. put it that way. interesting. for what it s worth. jeremy, one final question, this goes to the roger stone wikileaks situation. it is the speaks fcificity of h denial. he says i had no advance notice of the content source or the exact same of the wikileaks disclosure. assange said so, in his own tweets, roger stone never predicted anything that i hadn t already said in public. when you read that what is missing in the denial in your view. wikileaks is an agency of the russian federation. it s clear to the u.s. intelligence committee that wikileaks is controlled by the russian federation and they are
we re back with the hardball round table. michael, tell me something i don t know. you might know that the u.s. ambassador in jerusalem is opening monday. jared kushner and a u.s. delegation will be there. there had been a lot of speculation that might be the moment for the u.s. to drop a proposed middle east peace plan. chris, expectations are very low that s going to happen. i know state department employees have been given guidance to give a generic answer. we re still working hard on the plan and will present it if the time is right when asked about this don t be holding your breath for a plan next week. heidi? chris, the investigations into russia are taking on many forms, including what s going on in the southern district of new york, but one that hasn t got a lot of attention that maybe should is an outside civil suit that s been filed by a group of victims of the wikileak hack. two democratic national committee donors and also a former employee at the dnc whose personal
particularly cautious about making statements, even over a cell phone. you just don t know what s being monitored right now. i think he s doing the right thing by being very, very cautious. what about hope hicks? she may be next in line for a meeting with mueller s investigators. do you think they would make her any offers? you know, one of the things that a prosecutor wants to do is first see if somebody can give you information. so, that s the first objective. and, usually, that is conditioned on some kind of proffer where the person comes in, spills the beans and discusses everything. a lot of times in those proffers, prosecutors and agents have information that the client may not even know about, including wiretap information, e-mails and things of that nature. okay. donald trump jr., let s get to him. certainly under scrutiny for his russia contacts. earlier on instagram called his wikileak contacts nothing burgers and said keep coming at me, guys. do you think that potentia
kushner s lawyer said about not disclosing some of these documents to the judiciary committee. and again, it s republican chuck grassley who got so fired up, but look at this. if you look at the contents of this these e-mails, he s the hero, he s the one who s saying there shouldn t be any contacts with foreign officials or foreign entities. that s what the senate judiciary committee should pay attention to and not create some sort of partisan gotcha game. if you look at the content and it paints jared kushner as such a hero, why wouldn t jared kushner s lawyer provide these documents to the judiciary committee so they could then publicly applaud jared? that s an excellent question. another issue is if you look at what jared kushner actually said, he didn t say don t take this meeting because he s a bad guy, he said we can t be sure of his connections to vladimir putin essentially. and so we shouldn t take meetings like this. so look, there s a lot of questions. you know, there s
all available relevant information. i just want to be precise. julian assange denies russia was the source of the hacked e-mails that wikileaks posted. how is this connection between the trump data analytics firm and julian assange fit into trump meddling and trump collusion. where wikileaks got the information that it published, the 33,000 e-mails or umbrellot e-mails, and if that was from the russian government they deny it was from the russians. it should be a topic of investigation. you see possible collusion there, is that what you are saying? i think it s part of a pattern of the trump campaign seeking derogatory information,
