Jennifer is right that it does matter who he was talking to, what representations he was making, what information he was receiving. and so obviously that will be part of the investigation and in this case papadopoulos lied to the feds and now has his own legal situation to deal with. i would just point out, david, even though the inquiry continues to get more serious and perhaps be extended, there still is no underlying crime. you have two lobbyists who had foreign lobbying problems and two people who lied to the feds. you do not have an underlying crime that ties back to collusion or financial crimes. that may be where this is headed but there is not yet an underlying crime where there s been a crime. two matts and jennifer joining me as well. thank you all for your time. happy new year to all of you. new details coming out about a plane crash in costa rica claiming the lives of ten americans. that is coming up. first, president trump cheers on demonstrations in iran as protests ....
Per se. now, look, we shouldn t overstate it. this was not somebody running the campaign. but to dismiss him as a l low-level player is just wrong and it also misses the fact that spies work from the outside in. what the fbi and cia were seeing were all the hallmarks of a classic influence operation. where members were directly and indirectly trying to get their hooks into people in the trump campaign and george papadopoulos was one of them. matt, you and your colleagues look at the role that he played on the campaign and kick starting this investigation into russia s role in the 2016 presidential election. let me read a little bit here. the hacking and the revelation that a member of the trump campaign may have had inside information about it were driving factors that led the fbi to open an investigation in july 2016 into russia s attempts to disrupt the election and whether any of president trump s associates conspired. let me ask you here how much this upends conventional wisdom a ....
