Own. take a listen to what he had to say in describing what his experience was in talking to robert muellers team. >> what the special counsel couldnt figure out was in august i knew and that the e-mails remaining were podestas e-mails and i figured it out, which is what i do. i connect the dots. >> reporter: hes talking there about the e-mails that were released belonging to john podesta. he says in his interviews, 40 hours or so of interviews including an appearance before the grand jury, he s...

Podesta e-mails. its fascinating, in that hes saying he did he has on work and did some forensic work and connected some dots and thats how he knew that julian assange must have the podesta e-mails. well, it seems the special counsel is not necessarily buying that. again, we dont know with what theyve confronted him with, what information they have. but for now the most important thing in all of this is that the deal is off. >> shimon, thank you. barit, shimon brought up the point about what mue...

Theres a lot of dots to connect. depending upon what the dots are, i mean, certainly we were anticipating and expecting, and i think mueller did the right thing, wolf, in as much as waiting until after the election, not meddling in that at all. and then thereafter, i think the shoe is going to drop quickly. i think part of the shoe is what does corsi have to do with anything, what does roger stone have to do with anything. is there a connection? is there on the issue of russian collusion any col...

E-mails. and i basically figured it out, which is what i do. i connect the dots. i didnt need any source to tell me. >> thats what he does, he just connects the dots. >> its really spectacular. yet again, this is straight out of the president and rudy giuliani playbook of, im going to fight one battle in court, then fight another battle entirely in the court of public opinion, and its kind of whiplash inducing, because you have people like papadopoulos, of course, as you pointed out, saying no, ...

And answers to some of those questions any time. then the roger stone ally. jerome corsi. he spent the weekend in talks over a plea deal related to his alleged contacts with wikileaks. corsi now says hes unlikely to take the plea that muellers offering. but the talks alone should raise concerns in trumps inner circle that mueller may be closer to connecting the dots between the trump campaign and russia. then theres this from frequent trump defender alan dershowitz on what could pose the greates...

So jim, how does it look today? >> reporter: its a little bit better tonight, not a lot of tear gas in the air. in fact, though, that tweet from president trump left a lot of people here scratching their heads trying to figure out exactly how he was connecting the dots. there was nothing about yesterdays protest that had anything to do with trade or military protection. this was a protest which demonstrators were out to show their anger about rising fuel prices, about stagnant wages, and about r...

If trump claims he has set a record, he probably hasnt. if trump cites any number at all, the real number is usually smaller. i believe that journalists need to be just as tireless in combath the presidents lying as the president is in telling the lies no matter how repetative or podantic it can make us seem. bret stevens is joining the panel and karine jean-pierre, senior adviser to moveon.org. you have sort of pointed some of the dots that connect donald trumps conduct in office to that of aut...

Has been in their strategy during this entire time. >> how big a get would it be to get roger stone? muellers been circling for a long time now, speaking with multiple associates of his. >> to get jerome corsi or get roger stone requires an additional bit of a few infra e inferences to get to the president. you have to assume corsi was the person who obtained the information about the wikileaks data dump concerning the podesta e-mails. from there youd have to assume he told roger stone and from ...

The opportunity, potentially, and we dont know what muellers investigating or what he has. but it provides the opportunity to see a line from russia, who stole the e-mails, to wikileaks, who distributed the stone. and stone to the president. we dont know -- this is why the mueller investigation is so important. this is why instead of holding hearings about hillary clintons e-mails, we ought to be holding a markup on legislation to protect the mueller investigation. but this is potentially the mo...

And the relationship with farakan and hamas were troubling to many of the community and have been for a while and so those were the reasons. >> let me try to connect some of the dots as well. a week before the tree of life shooting, louis farakan said im not an antisemimite, im an antitermite. if you are citing the instagram post for one of the co-chairs, she said thank god this man is still alive and doing well. that was a year earlier. so are you saying that even after louis farrakhan said tha...
