and as comes out, leaks or information from what mr. mueller is finding out, there are more and more contacts with kushner, with trump jr., with wikileaks, with russia, with billionaires, you name it. where there s smoke there s fire, and when there s denial by the trump campaign, there s really the truth and they try to create false equivalencies. sessions did nothing, i think, to show there was not contacts. he was just evasive. that s what he did. i saw a mime of fred astaire dancing and saying that was jeff sessions. it was pretty hilarious and so true. sir, you re kind of in the perfect position to answer this question. how difficult is it to prove that someone is deliberately being evasive as opposed to just not being able to remember something? well, it s difficult, and jeff sessions is 70. but this is not something that occurred 20 years ago or 30 years ago or something like that. this is something that occurred within the last six months.
do you know when brad is going to come before the committee? yeah. we have an agreement with our republican colleagues not to get into who s going to testify and when because of the pressure that is others face when they talk about doing this. so, a blanket agreement makes more sense and makes the investigation far more effective. brad says he will be speaking before your committee. anyway, there has been reporting that the committee is looking into whether the digital operation, which he was part of helped guide russia s voter targeting and kind of their fake news efforts during the election. basically, they helped coordinate with them. do you think they did? i think that there was coordination. i think you are starting to see public evidence of that coordination, not just the meeting with trump jr., but others as well. you know, roger stone suggesting he had a relationship with

investigation 20 times a day, you ve got to wonder what they do talk about. we re also learning trump jr. didn t inherit his father s great memory. remember when the president characterized it this way? one of the great memories of all time. one of the greatest memories of all time. but his memory must have failed him when he said this aboard air force one in april. did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? no. then why did michael cohen make it if there was no you ll have to ask michael cohen. mierksale my attorney. and you ll have to ask michael cohen. do you know where he got the money to make that payment? i don t know. trump jr. seems to have no trouble admitting his memory s not so great, telling senators he didn t know or couldn t recall more than 171 times in his testimony, including saying
