that the president has been acid wously denying for more than a year now, that there was a in fact a major russian operation to interfere in the 2016 u.s. election. and, you know, the intelligence community has been saying for a year now that they have high confidence that that is the case. and here you have the u.s. department of justice and a grant ju grand jury saying they can prove that beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, using admissible evidence. and that, you know, is a rod rosenstein today was extremely careful not to offend the president and make sure that no americans were witting participants in this plot. but that is a remarkable factual repudiation of the entire

Before the investigation. and we need to know have these been investigated and what more needs to be done. congressman, thank you for coming on the beat. this is the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. that report lists two witnesses the committee did not get to interview that may shed light on that contact with roger stone and wiwikileaks. and then the filmmaker who embedded with stone at the time broke even more news on the beat last night saying on the record, stone repeatedly talked about trying to meet with assange. in july and in june of 2016, we he told us that he was trying to meet with julian assange. we spoke with him about the possibility of bringing our crew to london to film them meeting. as far as we know hold up. when you were making this documentary, he was telling you as a documentary journalist that he was trying to do contact with
