Page 4 - Collusion Case News Today

Look, you know, as danny says, there are two ways to look at this overall oh, there may be a collusion case coming down the pike or they dont have it thats just where it stands. you know, all of this is interesting as a defense lawyer for over 20 years and a prosecutor for over a decade in my case, very ill advised to go on television and talk about the case he laid that out in the indictment the senior official contacted him. he said that didnt happen it has to be an issue of where is the truth...

Didnt read the indictment. this is the first mueller indictment that lays out a collusion case. now, again, its collusion between wikileaks and the trump campaign with roger stone as the conduit. we know mueller has alleged that the russian government gave it to wikileaks. what we dont know is was stone, trump, were they also aware of all of this too. those are dots that havent been connected. >> which also makes that, of course, the june trump tower meeting, all the more important. >> by the wa...

The russian oligarch. is he key to the collusion case? >> absolutely. hes essential to it. this is someone who disappeared from american politics. went over to ukraine. and got in bed with pro-russian party and eventually one of the russian oligarchs. and all of a sudden he goes missing. and owing millions of dollars. and then the guy shows up, running donald trumps presidential campaign. you dont need to be a sherlock holmes to be to look at that set of facts and say huh. this guy putin was pro...

Now, you know, now is claiming that he just forgot. and i dont know how hard it is to forget, you know, meeting with russian agents, but i find that to be a tenuous argument. >> interesting. ryan, so manafort is at the center of a lot of contacts with russia, like the infamous trump tower meeting with the russian lawyer, right, who promised dirt on hillary clinton. do you remember the one where don jr. says and if thats so, i love it, right? and then he owed a lot of money to the russian oligarc...

Arms length, given the fact that they know this investigation is ongoing. and what we learned, erin, is that as part of this investigation, paul manafort testified before the grand jury and apparently the grand jury is asking questions about the person you mentioned, constantine kilimnik, who the special counsel, who the fbi says is somebody who works with the gru, the russian intelligence agency. thats one of the agencies that was behind the dnc hack. so i think you can take a step back here. i...

With roger stone. this was the president of the united states and up until now we have been thinking there was a collusion case and obstruction case and after this new york times report, he wonders if the act of obstructing could be colec colluding. does he have a point? >> theres a possibility. theres so much below the surface other than the high standards that are necessary. by this time, we know they knew many of the activities that had taken place during the transition. kushners effort to se...

That clip that you just said with the moment in helsinki. if there are moments in this investigation where people like me wonder is this just so obvious and were looking at the details, we have to also remember helsinki. that moment where the president essentially standing with putin says, you know, im yours. i have no u.s. interests. i only have russian interests, really would be evidence if the investigation is ongoing about the nature and extent of the relationship between trump himself and r...

And the man in the high castle. all in the same place as your live tv. its all included with your amazon prime membership. thats how xfinity makes tv... simple. easy. awesome. welcome back and thank you so much for joining us here on msnbc. right now we have more on the bombshell reporting from "the new york times" that the fbi opened an investigation just days after former fbi director james comey was fired into whether president trump was secretly working on behalf of russia. no evidence sin...

Whether he was actively doing this on behalf of the trump campaign. >> got it. >> hi, max. so the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee is mark warner. he says this is the closest thing that we have seen to collusion. and you agree, the headline to your new op-ed is called the collusion case against trump just got a lot stronger. can you explain to me why? >> this is the definition of collusion. i had to laugh earlier today. we had a republican congressman on saying were still waitin...

Yet. id be curious to know what is the nature of the polling information that was shared with russians or potentially shared with russians, and again, theres also the real question we have to ask, paul manafort obviously has been convicted and it was a deeply compromised figure. what we dont yet know is the extent to which he was trying to privatize trump campaign information in order to help his own business interests or whether he was actively doing this on behalf of the trump campaign. >> got...
