russians in question, the social media attempt to influence campaign. what he has not yet done is file any criminal charges in question, the hacking. the dnc e-mails and the john podesta. podesta. sorry about that. those e-mails, that part of case has not been filed. that s the part of case that roger stone is relative to. so this part of the investigation would be very much alive at this point. this 33-year-old dutch lawyer, alex van der swann, he is about to be sentenced tomorrow. what might we learn in the context of that? i have to say probably not much. what is unusual with his guilty
sentencing for some of the suspects who have pled guilty going forward. set the scene for tomorrow s first sentencing. so this is the lawyer coming out of the suv here. essentially, he pleaded guilty to lying, to the special counsel. he was doing some work for the, for manafort and for gates, for some ukraine stuff, lobbying work. he had lied to the special counsel about a conversation he had with rick gates, in particular, there was one thing that was just revealed last week. that a russian intelligence official was present during some of these. was in communication with rick gates in october of 2016. and that was revealed in last week s court filing. and then today the special counsel also filed something, the court files, basically asking to protect the privacy, some of the information they have in the case. they re concerned that once van

to impersonate or the family which could refer to the trump family. it s hard to read. danny, pause that. i want to bring up the graph that we showed. it s the fourth bullet appoint, he allegedly lie you had back talks with person a, that is what van der swann is pleading guilty to today. net price, these are the key thing we don t know, who is person a and why might that be relevant? that s the big question in this charging brief here. what this document shows, halle, is that bob mueller again has been two steps ahead. person aim is named in this information because an e-mail of 2016 between this defendant and the person who was charged today and person a has not been turned over. that suggests bob mueller had this in his possession.
