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...

Quite yet and we wouldnt know that had the redactions been as foolpro foolproof. >> i have a feeling his client will be found in some of those redactions. >> no comment on that. >> because we know manaforts lawyers have accidentally revealed through these non-redacted what should have been redactions that he shared polling data with kilimnik but now we know, shan, the two men were communicating. so does connecting those dots take you further in your belief? >> it does. factually you dont have th...

Have censured steve king. for the first time, you see republicans actually taking some action. it shows the impact of when one body of congress, at least, is willing to stand up and do its job and trump is going to be held accountable in ways he doesnt done before. be quite a scene next month when cohen testifies. >> adam, what are you expecting in the cohen testimony, and included in that, the trump panic in the next three weeks leading up to it? >> yeah, i mean, look, trump ran his business an...

There was concrete achievements from these secretive meetings and we got a breakthrough with the russians for things that were good for us, i would support it. the truth is, he hasnt had a successful meeting with vladimir putin. hes had no successes with the russians. hes had a luf setbacks, things i think are not in americas national interests. that suggests hes doing something else. i dont know. i want to be clear, theres lots of circumstantial evidence about the money they took in 2008 and ma...

Investigation, and to phils point, i dont quite understand the genesis of where trumps animosity to nato has come from. >> well, why is it a mystery? its because putin hates nato. >> well -- >> i mean, what -- >> so you connected the dots completely? >> the fbi did. the fbi opened a counterintelligence investigation into this president at the beginning of his presidency. were just seeing two years down the road all the proof points they had. anyone who thought they were crazy should go get their...

Republicans hadnt taken action, the democrats in the house would have censured steve king. for the first time, you see republicans actually taking some action. it shows the impact of when one body of congress, at least, is willing to stand up and do its job and trump is going to be held accountable in ways he doesnt done before. be quite a scene next month when cohen testifies. >> adam, what are you expecting in the cohen testimony, and included in that, the trump panic in the next three weeks l...

Knew when they were looking to come as mueller has been tasked with, the interference by the russians with our election and our process. the american process, our democracy. i think there was a legitimate concern about the fbi. i dont think it was just political partisanship and hatred for this incoming president. i think when they looked at it they said, "is this going to interfere with the inquiry that we have come into how much russia did or may continue to do in the future?" and i think you ...

The firing of james comey? and thats a significant move. im not going to connect me more dots because we obviously dont know where the investigation went. but i will end with this point. a president -- how would a president compromised by the russians behave? and give me any moment in the last two years where trump has behaved differently. thats what i took away from this story. >> so, adam, youre there, right? can i bring you back in? >> sure. >> okay. i want to give the white house response be...

The second thing is we tend to think of the mueller investigation as three different pools. theres the financial, theres the obstruction of justice, and theres the collusion, right? with russia. now what we need to think about is the collusion which we tend to think about between russia and trump and the obstruction of justice investigation which we tend to think of as just a trump issue is, are they the same? in other words, does the collusion extend to things like the firing of james comey? im...

Moscow situation. we have the alleged russian intelligence, and now it feels like there are a lot of dots out there we dont know if mueller is connecting those dots, if they will lead to anything, but the idea that this is a mostly obstruction probe, but it is kind of being put to rest right now, the collusion question is on the table right now and he has not bonded that at all. >> i want to read you one more thing. individual one is the president. cohen discussed the status and project with ind...
