Flipped, the mooueller team mad it clear that they wanted information on potential collusion of trump and the the russians meaning it is not about paul man na forth and to be clear, nbc does not confirm this, but we know that mueller is using gates to tie the campaign directly with the russians, and we showed you on the program this new court filing that gates is saying that gates was directly communicating with someone who had ties to the mueller a administration. And so gates had no choice but to flip, a san diego this information coming from directly are around someone around gates . That we dont know, but we have hints of the other angles that he is investigating. Today, a trump ally was detained at boston airport, and asked about contact with, yes, roger stone, and with wikileaks coming amidst other reports that mueller is asking about contacts of the russians and the Rnc Convention and the trump team. And this is having investigate r for thes worried that trump could lash out and try to get mueller fired. I think it is obvious that he would like to fire him, and whether he will or not is the core question. The president s abrupt resent k actions in dismissing the v. A. Secretary, and the secretary of the state and other key cabinet members means this is something that he is likely to do. You go up to bed at night worrying that the president is going to try to fire the special counsel. Are yes. And i am joined by a columnist for the Washington Post. And maya, when you see this report that we have not confirmed, but credit where it is due, and cnn says that the sources prove this, but it seems that bob mueller did not need rick gates to get to paul man fomana for manafort and what you believe it is gates flipping on somebody other than paul mab na for manafort . It suggested that there was more there that we didnt know, and couldnt know, and this may well be what that thing is, which is that you try to, and you always, the whole kind of the argument about well, we still need to figure out whether there is a connection directly to donald trump, and the crimes that are alleged against paul ma manaare fort are not crimes connect ned to the election, bu we know that Paul Manafort headed the campaign and ensuring that donald trump came out of the Republican Convention the victor, because remember, there was an insurrection that the republicans said never trump and at the same time meetings happening with the russian, and now the question at the convention, including the ambassador kizly yak, and now the question of whether there was some information, and that some platform item that russia did not like coming out of the platform at that convention, and actually suggests that there really may be a way in which this is always the plan, and that it is always going to get mueller much closer potentially to getting manafort to cocan operate operate. Right. And eugene robinson, it is certainly fair for people who are loyal to donald trump to say that Paul Manaforts money problems dont reflect poorly on donald trump, but as a stand alone statement that is fair. But it seems that there is evidence that what mueller is probing is whether the money problems and the debt and the relationships with the ole gashgs and othgashg s ole gashg s oligarchs and could have reflected badly on donald trump. That is right, and the key words that you said are Trump Campaign, ari n that, and bob moo muellers charge as he appears to u understand it is to see if there was collusion involving donald trump, and if there was collusion involving the Trump Campaign. And if he is trying to the answer that question, and so, i never thought that he was going to sort of stop at Paul Manafort as being perhaps the closest he could get to answering that question. I think that he is going to follow every thread as far as it can go, and yes, this is the latest information about what he seems to want to know from rick gates is very interesting. We are getting the glimpses and peeks at this investigation, but of course, we cant see the whole thing, and so we with cant know, if it is the main part of the investigation or side thrust, but i think that we will find out. And the people who speak, speak for various reasons, and carter page has spoken and in many mediums including the repeatedly to my colleague chris hayes, but he does reeveal thins about the line of questioning which is incredibly tantalizing given that the mueller folksner talk, and here he was talking about the line of questioning to chris hayes. Has mueller and i know that you have talk ted to the fbi, right . Absolutely are. And which has been disclosed leaked to the Washington Post and that has been out there, yes. And so have they ever asked you about that meeting back in the rnc . I told them a lot of everything that, you know, that i have been essentially doing for a long time including obviously, you know, everything in cleveland, so. And so you did talk about that . Yes. Yes. It takes a minute, but gene, the key there is that the notion is that bob mueller is probing the platform change, and i will are say by the way as a political matter, and so we have been to our share of conventions, platforms are not typically considered the most important thing that happens there no, it is not. But if you are auctioning it off to the foreign government, it becomes more interesting, gene. That how you make a platform important and interesting is auctioning it off to the foreign government, and it is look, it is always a very curious change, right, because the republican party, generally more hawkish on the foreign policy, and many republicans have been sort of criticizing president obama for not doing more to counter the russian incursion into ukraine including providing heavy weapons essentially. And the text from fox news and while this is going on, we are seeing senator coons concern, and we know that andy mccabe, the former fbi number two, basically he was ousted and that is the biggest story that has not been explained because they have not released the report yet, but it is suggesting the sharpening of trumps attacks on the doj at a time that the legal are team is shrinking, and fewer people checking him and then clues on fox news where it is headed. Tonight, we will tell you who robert mooueller is, and he is carrying out a witch hunt. He is about as are credible as stormy to me. Bob mueller ruined the credibility of his own, and the integrity of his own investigation when he hired clearly a very partisan team. Robert muellers career has been anything but impeccable. Robert muellers career has been nothing but impeccable. And the fact that you are have fox news attacking a Republican Former fbi director who is actually deeply well respected by both sides of the aisle is actually shocking. It is an attack on a Democratic Institution that the exists to be bipartisan and bipartisan means that you have all parties actually represent ed on the staffing as muellers team has, and the idea that someone who has spent their career actually building a reputation as an attorney, as a pros ecutor, in upholding the law is someohow on a witch hunt when we have had no less than four indictments against people closely connected to not just the trump cam campaign, and in some of the instances to donald trump, himself, begs the question of whether we really care about the Democratic Institution, which is the fbi is a part of it. And i have to go, real quick, gene. And bob mueller is also a decorated veteran and the idea that he is some partisan democrat lefty, is the most ridiculous thing that anybody has hurd heard. It is absurd. And the question is who is left . It is him and rosenstein if donald trump is looking to work up to the top of the chain there.

This is a company that has worked with material that will send out videos of people murdered to intimidate voters. This is a company that goes out and tries to illicitly trying to acquire live internet browsing data on everybody in the country. Developing news on Cambridge Analytica which is the firm that misused the data profiles of 50 million americans. In a moment, you will hear directly from the cambridge wlisel blower testifying to the the British Parliament about the firms conduct. But first, this is what we know about cambridge in russia. Last fall, mueller had everybody turn over their data, and what we know is that he reached out directly to Julian Assange asking for help on working with wikileaks and the hillary are clinton emails, and mike flynn said that he is on the payroll of cambridges Parent Company which has a lot of unanswered questi questions. This firm, Cambridge Analytica is tied to the gop donor are rebecca mercer, and her company with steve bannon who is called the cambridge Vice President , and involved in the political agenda, and the cambridge is in the center of the probe, and you can see it there, ties to wikileak, and facebook and trump heavy hitters burk tonight, new questions about cambridges work for a Russian Oil Company, luke oil, whose Top Executive is lin areked to Vladimir Putin. Joining me now is that whistleblower christopher wily, and thank you for being a part of the special. Your former Company Cambridge worked for donald trump and also, a apparently talked to the Big Russian Oil company lukoil discussing social Media Marketing and any idea why a oil company would be interested in na and do you see any potential link to the russian probe or what . First of all, yes, i find it unusual that a Russian Oil Company wanted to use the services of Cambridge Analytica and know more about the programs that we r were working on and the rippon project, and the data harvesting and i found it unusual that Alexander Nix created a prez sentation about rumor campaigns and fake news and more generally are undermining confidence of the voters in the civic institutions, and what i told the committee is that, there was a risk given the relationship that lukoil has with the fsb which is the Russian SecurityService Services of notifying the russian Intelligent Services that there was a massive data set being harvested on americans, and that the right. And that the professor who managed that Harvesting Program was partly based out of russia and also working on the projects for russians in social media profiling, and in psychological profiling, and that, you know, that the risk that was created was that, in notifying this company, it showed them, a, what assets were there and b, where to go to get them, and they did not need russia to do it. And to be clear, a state linked oil company does not have a natural are need for that kind of data and social Media Marketing to sell oil. So i wonder, do you think that it is something that ni xhshgs c nix would have been concerned with . Well, it is concerning because the Parent Company was also working on u natofunded programs in the baltics which included russian counter are propaganda material, a and that would have made it an intelligence target for russia. So you have a company observed in some way by russia, and then interfacing with the Russian Company that has, you know, very overt lin areks with the russian fsb talking about a massive data set in america. And so it is about, you know, rumor campaigns and making a pitch of undermining the confidence in civic institutions, and to me, the reason i talked about that at parliament the other day at my testimony was because i think that it is something that should be genuinely investigated. It is concerning that that communication happened, you know, given what we now know about the interference of the russian interference in the american election. And so what do you want to come across when you speak to the u. S. Investigators . That it should be taken ser seriously, and that this is not just, you know, an issue for facebook, and this isnt just a data leak, but this is something that potentially could impact the National Security of the United States and the integrity of american Democratic Institutions as well as institutions here in britain and around the world. Christopher wylie, i know that you have taken a huge risk to speak out as a whistleblower, and thank you for speaking to me. Cheers, and thank you for having me again.

Together, were building a better california. Now tonights special report on facebook and how the hidden video scandal is rocking the Firm Facebook what others have not, and hammering the value on wall street, and pressing the u. S. Congress to press Mark Zuckerberg and driving new leaks inside of facebook and tonight, a leaked memo showing that the company should pursue profitable connectivity even if it costs a life or enabled terrorism organized on facebook. Meanwhile, the feds are probing the site. State pros ecutors and others around the country as well. Where do we go from here . Facebook ist not going away. It is a big part of the internet and platform and one that thousands of other sites use to authenticate visitors and social media juggernaut and part of the economy and clearly part of the democracy. Facebook can improve, but so far most of what this companys management has done has shown that it is not, it is not trying to improve the fundamental process, and the fundamental way it operates or the conflict of the Business Model that uses and abuses customers. This is is something that we have reported on the beat. The conflict is that the joke is on us, because anybody who uses facebook is basically opting into this problem. Steven colbert put it succinctly. It is like the banks that got robbed at gun point, and more like a bank that gave the robbers their money, because it is the Business Model. It is the Business Model that allowed facebook to sit and do nothing about the data breach, and
