The evidence provided by others. so whos come to mueller, who has sat down and said, look, the president talked with me about what this was all about. we needed to keep manafort silent. his intent was this. you have enough people saying that, you got your obstruction case, youve got evidence of sbe intent. i think thats whats there. i have to tell you, nicolle, i think theres more going on here to manaforts of a pardon. youve heard people say what can happen on the state level. you know that man...

Lawyers, rudy giuliani in an interview with axios said. i dont think they have any evidence of collusion of any kind. i think their obstruction case as a legal matter doesnt exist. so again the white house exuding confidence here. >> and i think thats to be expected. if you are innocent thats what you do convey. to me its entirely credible particularly on the collusion side. if there was evidence of collusion it would have leaked a long time ago. the obstruction issue is an opinion. if the presi...

Much -- what contact was there and was it significant? what does it really mean? did stone simply just know some things were going to be coming from wikileaks or was he working or coordinating with them? >> matt millmiller, we could al write the response. oh, i hardly knew him. i had no contact with him. he left the campaign oral. theres undeniable, mike and his colleagues have reported on contacts between roger stone an bannon. the president has known roger stone for many, many years. and its n...
