That Infamous Trump tower meeting with donald trump jr. , Jared Kushner and some russians. Releasing nearly 2,000 pages of the interview about that tonight. Senator Lindsey Graham is on that committee and he joins me now. Great to see you tonight. There is quite a bit to discuss with you. We are glad to have you here. Let me talk to first about the summit. At what you make of what kim jong un said in terms of the possibility of canceling . Speak of the kind of played this game in the past. The only advice i can give north koreas and i honestly mean this, if you are not serious about doing a deal with the president , if you are not willing to give up your nukes for a better life for north korea, dont meet with the president. The worst thing you could do is sit down and meet with President Trump and then try to play him because if you do that we are going to have a war and you were going to lose it. So if you are not serious, please dont meet with the president. Martha there was some suggestion that john bolton mentioned the libya model and that that may have been a factor because kim jong un does not want to end up like muammar qaddafi. Mike pompeo, the secretary of state, was asked a little bit about what assurances we might be willing to give kim jong un on security by chris wallace. Lets take a look. As part of that, are we in effect saying to kim, if you give us what we want, you can stay on and power . We will have to provide security assurances to be sure. This has been the tradeoff that has been pending for 25 years. Martha what do you think that means . I think hes right. Heres the way it works. If we end the korean war, which has never ended. We signed a peace treaty with north korea and south korea, china and United States. We recognize north korea as a sovereign country. We have no desire to invade north korea. We are not trying to unify south korea and north korea. We just want north korea to give up their Nuclear Weapons program which has threatened us and the world. For that they will get a guarantee of security and hopefully a better economy because the sanctions will be relieved. Heres the other choice, keep threatening america, keep building Nuclear Weapons and icbms. Get in a war with donald trump and lose it. Those are your two choices. The one kim jong un clearly has people around him who say that it would be crazy for him to give up the biggest weapon that he has in the biggest weapon that he can hold over. We may be seeing him having some second thoughts here on that front. Also, what about the people of north korea will have lived on the dark continent for all these decades, and whats to stop them once they have no nukes and they have a lot of light shed into their country from rebelling against this regime that has put hundreds of thousands of people in labor camps . You are thinking too hard here. Heres whats crazy. They keep building icbms and believe that donald trump wont do anything about it. That probably work with obama but im here to tell north korea that our president has drawn a redline. If you keep threatening the American Homeland with a Nuclear Weapon we are going to destroy your regime, its that simple. So if you want to survive, kim jong un, you need to sit down with the president and do a deal giving up your nukes. In return we will guarantee your security end and the korean war. If you keep doing what youre doing, you are miscalculating donald trump. Hes not obama. You do this at your own peril. To those who are advising kim jong un to continue down the path that you are going, bad advice. Martha we will see. Quick question for you about the peace in the New York Times about mike pence and the operation that hes building to give support to the Republican Party across the country as they head into november. There was some suggestion in the headline of that peace which was pence is trying to control public and politics. Trump aids arent happy and they quoted u. S. Saying this. The white house is looking for people to stay on the team, not break away from the team. You want to comment on the . The bottom line is mike penc mike pence, its music to my ears. An organized effort to save the republican majority makes perfect sense to me. Theres no more loyal person to donald trump than mike pence. Im glad they are doing this. This is welcome news as far as im concerned. Martha always good to see you sir, thanks for being here tonight. My next guest is the aforementioned President Trumps First Campaign manager and im reportedly back in the political game joining Vice President mike pence. Cory lewandowski joins me know. Good to see you, good to have you here tonight. This was also in the New York Times piece. Even as he places his public romance with praise for the president , mike pence we are talking about, Vice President pence and a simple one of staff are unsettling a group of mr. Trumps fierce loyalist who fear they are forging a separate power base. Is that what you are doing . Look, i dont think anybody will ever accuse me of being anything other than a donald trump loyalist. I was the campaign manager, i was there when we turned the lights on and im honored to be joining the Vice President s pack so that we can continue to raise money with the explicit goal of supporting candidates who are supporting the trumppence agenda through hard money contributions and making sure that we are retaining our majority in the u. S. House. That is the focus of the pence pact that i am now part of and that is completely with the blessing of the United States. Martha in terms of all these documents that were released today, thousands of pages from donald trump jr. s transcript, this is what he hed about it. For over five hours i answered every question asked and was candid and forthright with the committee. Your thoughts on where this whole thing is going . I think don jr. Is exactly right. Ive been very public. Ive had the unfortunate privilege of sitting before the house and the Senate Committees to provide testimony. I did it voluntarily. You sit there as long as they need you to to make sure that youve answered every question to prove once again there was no collusion in any way, shape, or form and thats what don jr. Did and thats what his testimony shows. He sat for five hours and answered every question they asked and then he finally got up and left and now we see those answers in writing and it shows exactly what he said. There was no collusion between the Trump Campaign and the outside influencer. Martha we will get into this more in a moment but i want to ask you a little bit about some comments that were made byy giuliani who is now representing the president in this matter. Heres what he said about the possibility of a president ial indictment. He said they cant indict, at least they acknowledge that to us after some battling, they acknowledged that to us he says. This goes back to i believe its a 1999 clinton era memo, bill clinton era memo that was written that said a sitting president of the United States cannot be indicted and that was something that has been discussed now for almost 20 years and that has been the rules and from what i understand the mayor is saying is the mueller team abide by that memo and understands it to be accurate and there is no indictment coming for the president because there was no collusion, there was no coordination. There is nothing to indict him for other than putting america first. If thats a crime hes going to be indicted. Martha has Rudy Giuliani given you that kind of assuranc assurance . Sort of offline on all of this because when he makes the statements, the reports are that hes getting ahead of himself, that he shouldnt be saying theres no indictment when the obstruction of justice issue is still out there. Do you think that he is sort of on the same page with the president and the rest of the team when he comes out and says there will be no indictment . I think the mayor is exactly on the president s team. It is a different tactic, which is a much more aggressive tactic as it relates to dealing with the Mueller Investigation. Tomorrow marks the oneyear anniversary of bob mueller being named as the special counsel to investigate this and what weve seen is millions of dollars wasted, no collusion by the president. We know that no collusion by the Trump Campaign and the mayor has now said if bob mueller wants to talk to the president you do it through a series of questions in a very limited fashion. Thats a very reasonable request and it doesnt seem like the mueller team has any interest in doing that. Martha lets play this sound bite from the interview that Laura Ingraham did with Rudy Giuliani and get your quick thoughts from that before we head to the break. What is your optimal timeline for this to wrap up . Today. As soon as possible. I think that they have the facts from which they can write the report. Going to write a fair report, fine. Going to find write an unfair , write it and we will combat it. We are ready to rip it apart. Martha the president s former attorneys said they felt everything is going to wrap up very quickly. They are no longer in the picture. One of the comments about that is they are not giving the president sort of the full picture of what was going on with this investigation. Do you think that Rudy Giuliani is correct, that this is wrapping up, should wrap up and will wrap up quickly . I hope it wraps up very quickly because the goal here of the Mueller Investigation is to write a report to congress to show if there was any collusion or cooperation or coordination, which there wasnt. That report is going to take some time. What we dont want to see if any politicalization of this any further. We we the mueller team to write there purports to congress of the American People can see very clearly that the from campaign, of which i was a part of for a long period of time, never coordinated with any russians, there werent any russians there, there was no collusion and thats what the American People deserve to see so i think its incumbent on the mueller team to finish their investigation and get that report to congress. Martha thank you, good to see you tonight. Coming up, a new report leading to some questions for former cia director john brennan. We wanted to make sure that we handled this matter appropriately, but also delicately because we were in the midst of a president ial campaign. Martha what is that about . Theres a new report tonight from the New York Times that claims that the fbi was pursuing the secret investigation into Russian Election interference and President Trumps campaign, 100 days before election day and it was called cross fire hurricane. Also coming up, believe it or not, the five way race to win back the republican primary in georgia is already looking wilder than what we saw in west virginia.

Martha fascinating report in the New York Times tonight that lays out the early days of the fbi investigation into the Trump Campaign and says that there was a super secret and titled cross fire hurricane and it claims that the team was very concerned about doing everything by the book and about the ramifications of an investigation that would have been going on during the course of the Trump Campaign in 2016. The team that worked on this had just finished the Hillary Clinton investigation and the story says that peter strzok and lisa page, you remember them, among others on this multiand wanted to tread carefully. Is that exactly what happened and isnt this the process of what turned out to be the insurance policy that we heard so much about. Is the story an effort to rewrite at times peace back from october 2016 that claimed there was no collusion to be found . It comes also at an opportune time for john brennan whose own narrative appears to be unraveling more and more every day. The hills opinion contributor john solomon is here. But first trace gallagher. Cross fire hurricane was named after Rolling Stone lyrics. It was the name used by only a few fbi agents who in the summer of 2016 were sent to interview the australian ambassador to the United Kingdom who claimed he had evidence of possible collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia. It was former Trump Campaign aide George Papadopoulos who the ambassador reportedly got his information from. But the times says the investigation was largely secret. In fact, the article contends the fbi was open about the Hillary Clinton email investigation because they assumed she would win the white house and didnt want to appear to be withholding information and at the fbi was very private about any trumprussia connections for fear that underdog donald trump would claim the fbi was trying to sway the election. It was also in the summer of 2016 that 10cia director john brennan started Briefing Members of congress and fbi director james comey on intelligence showing that russia was behind an attack on the election and heres what john brennan said today on msnbc. Watch. It was in some respects a race against time to try to uncover and discover as much as we could, but at the same time not compromise what i thought was probably the most sensitive counterintelligence investigation that i was ever involved in. But we are now learning that in may of 2017 brennan told the House Intel Committee that the infamous, salacious and unverified steele dossier was not in any way used as the basis for the intelligence communitys assessment that russia interfered in the election. Remember, the Intel Community assessment is the primary reference for allegations that Vladimir Putin raked the election to help trump win but now former nsa director admiral Michael Rogers and former director of National Intelligence jinx klapper art contradicting john brennan saying the dossier was in fact used as part of that assessment and then finally we should note after a closeddoor hearing with john brennan today the senate Intel Committee says the russian government did interfere to help donald trump win the election. The House Intel Committee you might remember had already concluded that russia did interfere, but not in an effort to help donald trump. Martha. Martha mike rogers was one of those. He felt that that was not conclusive in terms of whether or not they were trying to help trump over clinton. A former nsa director. Thank you very much. Joining me now with more on this tonight, john solomon, opinion contributor to the hill who has dug into the story very deeply over the past year. Good to have you with us tonigh tonight. Interesting timing how this piece dropped and sort of shed light on all of these things. What do you make of this story and what it aims to accomplish . Theres a lot of speculation that maybe this is an effort by brennan to burnish his image or corrective story or the New York Times to get right with its early reporting. I have a different theory. Next week or the week after the ig report is going to come out and its going to excoriate the fbis handling of both the Hillary Clinton case and the donald trump initial russian case and i think theres a lot of effort here for the fbi career people to get some of their narrative out in between all of the politics. There are the key things that are in that story today. One is in the read the New York Times, what it wrote in october all over again. There is still no evidence today like there was in october of 2016, still no evidence of collusion after all this time. Thats an important acknowledgment in the story. And i think the timeline is very important and its written in a way that is hard to put the times in linear fashion. Lets take what happened. Ambassador hears conversation, doesnt report it to the fbi about from collusion. Christopher steele a approaches the fbi. Specialty meets the ambassador with and tells him about it and then john brennan sends an electronic communication kind of prodding the communication, ge
