Steve. >> and ken delanian, again, this name of george papadopoulos i think to a lot of people, even following this pretty closely, are surprised at his name coming in today. this plea agreement, the news of the cooperation over the last couple months. does this tell us something bigger about the mueller investigation in terms of this was kept secret, kept secret from the public, from the press. we didnt know this was going on for three months. how much more is going on out there we dont know ab...

Weve been hearing comprehensive tax reform, its infinitely harder, even if indictment news hadnt come. harder than two weeks ago, let alone six months. real question people are asking, what will hit the presidents desk? just a small piece of legislation they can call tax reform and check off the list? >> probably. thats best bet. >> bill clinton couldnt get anything through when lewinski broke. iran-contra, couldnt get bill through. track record not good. but this is a slightly kitchen presidenc...

Russians, the kremlin, meeting with papadopoulos. intelligence experts say most certainly cutouts and handlers for russian intelligence. to me the most significant thing about this is that papadopoulos met with a, somebody characterized as a professor with ties to the kremlin who told him in april 2016 the russians had dirt on hillary clinton and thousands of e-mails. that was a month -- we know now, a month after john podesta the computer was compromised at the dnc. apartment the time, nobo at ...

Puzzle were still investigating but key insicghts as a result o this plea. >> it suggests, and all sorts of possibilities i think raised by this, all sorts of questions, as you say, unanswered. i guess the question here is, are you seeing the possibility of collusion here? are you seeing the possibility of collusion being heightened by these revelations or looking at this saying i see collusion right now? >> we certainly see a willingness on the trump campaign at the highest levels to accept the...

We have a problem at the center of the american government. i dont think that is the case. i think well find out whether or not this goes to the heart of the collusion question and that is something to pick up on what joey said, that we want to pay close attention to in the coming days. when the special prosecutor was named it was with a broad mandate. if they see any crimes along the way, they could shift their focus to that. is we dont know if what were going to see in the coming days will dir...

To prove that there was indeed collusion between the kremlin and the trump campaign? >> yeah, lets go through precisely, nicolle, where this new piece of information fits in the collusion question. first of all, a number of circumstantial pieces of evidence that demonstrate collusion. the longstanding financial ties between the trump organization and russia. candidate trump and president trumps fawning over putin and his pro-putin policies. and, of course, all the back-door discussions, private ...

>> i still think its tip of the iceberg. the russians initiated a comprehensive campaign on platforms to sew division and to create trouble in the united states. there was another website, another facebook page called black matters. there was one heart of texas. they created communities of lgbt, african-american, conservatives and i think that it was a long-term game plan. the russians are always big on long-term game plans. and they are intended or were intending, to use this community of p per...

Boys, chill out. im going the take this. the senate ended up making a finding about what we already knew which is that russia tried to subvert our election. we knew that but they provided the documentation and evidence but didnt go to the collusion question. >> bill: we dont know where mueller will go on it and it is in secret. who knows in washington these days? here is what i believe we can say, right? the russian agents tried to get into our election system. 21 states. no votes were changed. ...

From 1,600 pennsylvania avenue. what was the good news for the trump team in this event today? >> well, i think there were little bits of news that perhaps they can take away. i think overall the folks at the white house are still not happy because there is still this ongoing probe which seems to be just getting into the collusion question and that investigation is going to go on. but one of the things that senators burr and warner said today is that they were essentially setting aside the inves...

As far as hes concerned its still fake news. >> kimberley because all good lawyers can argue both sides, lets say you are watching this from 1600 pennsylvania avenue, what was the good news from the trump team in this event today? >> well, i think there were little bits of news that perhaps they can take away. i think overall the folks at the white house are still not happy because there is still this ongoing probe, which seems to be just getting into the collusion question. and that regz is goi...
