The days biggest political and news stories, with interviews and reporting from around the nation. Charge of an investigation and a guy who is the subject of an investigation that just got more profound. We have to preface everything, ari, with if the account from Michael Cohen is true, blah, blah, blah. So if the account is true, it is a tremendous change in the landscape.

As a secret operation by the kremlin to help trump. So if trump knows about that from the very beginning, and is in on it, i think that has a lot of legal, but even more so, political implications.

in a fairly complex slight of hand to try to cloud cloud the window when it came to understanding who he believed to be his intermediary with wikileaks. my understanding is that person two who you mentioned earlier is rendy credico, a veriy lefty new york comedian. credico has hosted a raid show for quite some time. he interview the julian assange in 2016 and the indictment says person two hosted a radio show and he interviewed assange so we can assume with a high degree of confidence that credico is person number two and also assume with very high confidence that jerome corsi is person number one. in the indictment mueller alleges that stone tried to communicate to congress that his intermediary to wikileaks or the person he was talking about wikileaks the most with was randy credico. when, in fact, according to the indictment, in fact, jerome corsi who at the time was
