About his contacts with russian ambassador, saw srakislyak, and the russian contacts and the kremlin over the trump tower in moscow, and thats information the trump campaign has been lying about for effectively two years now, and for two years the russian government has known the trump administration is lying about something. that, again, is about the worst case scenario for the united states from a counter intelligence perspective, to have the united states be under the thumb potentially to be ...

Were now nearing a, quote, worst case scenario. inside robert muellers fbi and global war on terror, and samantha vinograd, senior adviser on security at the obama administration. garrett, we dont have muellers report, but you say the country is already approaching the worst case scenario when it comes to russia. why is that? >> from a counterintelligence perspective, the worst case samario is to have a foreign power have leverage over your head of state, for them to have some sort of intelligen...

Groundwork -- yet -- for evidence of crime with regard to russia. what they do is point the way to where mueller is going with this. so, for example, from a counterintelligence perspective, if russians stood to gain hundreds of millions of dollars through their relationship with trump on a project in moscow, and understand that vladimir putin has to personally approve that, then rest assured they would be going out of their way to assist trump in his campaign to assist him. and similarly, if he ...

Useful behind the scenes, quite useful from a counter intelligence perspective. and its totally plausible that manafort and flynn have that kind of information and just publicly we arent going to be able to assess how valuable it is. >> manafort has been a big trigger for donald trump. when things have happened in his legal travails, the president has reacted with outbursts. what do you think this news is going to do to him? >> we dont know. we dont know where hes going, we dont know what he has...

Many coffee cups they buy but not the lobbyists they meet with who are pushing the interest of a hostile form power that steals our technology, spies, names their dictator president for life and has an aim of world domination. china is the number one enemy of the united states. its outrageous we allow them to undermine our democracy by infiltrating the swamp and manipulating our leaders. we will keep exposing them until someone does something about it. when will someone do something about it? im...

Mccain or his firm did, ronald reagan. he worked for me for 49 days, a very short period of time. >> he was the chairman of the trump campaign. i also didnt know there was a 12-year statute of limitations on crimes like this. so, what do you think -- when you look at whats happening with paul manafort what do you see? >> what i see is the intersection between a counterintelligence investigation and a criminal investigation. when youre looking at it from a counterintelligence perspective, collusi...

Application, the further we got away from this steele dossier, and more information emerged that, hey, keep this surveillance going. >> we dont know what the take was. we dont know what the collection was. but if they continued to see the need to collect it, they must have seen something. but the bottom line is, i just have to say here, look, from a counterintelligence perspective, carter page is -- he should have been under surveillance. this is a guy who was already known to be dealing with ru...
