An fbi agent, a self described gun in three days to try to infiltrate gun organizations like nra and push moscows agenda while on u.s. soil and that she sought to set up a back channel communications between the kremlin in u.s. politicians. this from the affidavits which were filed. "these lines could be used by the russian federation to penetrate the u.s. national decision-making apparatus, to advance the agenda. special counsel robert mullers probe as far as we know, the charges filed by justi...

Campaign. this is echoed time and time again by his favorite network. >> these type of tactics, spying on an opposition party in an election year, are you kidding me? >> the new report that may indicate that the obama administration did in fact spy on the trump campaign. >> and then the news came out about the spy. >> this was spying on the campaign of the opposing party. >> they knew what they were doing and they were engaged in an active, ongoing, politically motivated spying operation. >> it ...

Timing. this attack happened two calendar weeks before todays russian presidential election. it plays well with conservative nationalist voters inside russia who maybe otherwise who wouldnt have gone to the polls. thats one dimension, but i think ultimately the target of this attack is the russian elite. i think skripal was mainly the instrument. its to anybody inside the russian elite whether they are an oligarch or a spy who is thinking about cooperating with the west in general, but i think i...

It plays well with conservative nationalist voters inside russia who maybe otherwise who wouldnt have gone to the polls. thats one dimension, but i think ultimately the target of this attack is the russian elite. i think skripal was merely the instrument. its to anybody inside the russian elite whether they are an oligarch or a spy who is thinking about cooperating with the west in general, but i think i would say with west intelligence in particular, that we can strike you at any moment. we wil...

Whether it was george papadopoulos, the foreign policy aide or donald trump jr., who said he didnt meet with russians, and then it turned out, of course, that he did, or jared kushner. and really, what were looking at is a kind of major espionage operation by russia, involving hacking, those e-mails, involving penetrating the trump campaign, and involving really, i would say, kind of a multi-layered attempt to try to chop the legs off hillary clinton and to push donald trump across the line. >> ...

Russia, really to soil the democratic process. he also wants to be perceived by his own people and the world at large as a standing toe to toe with best thanks to his asymmetric relatively inexpensive espionage operation. this was one waiting to be discovered. and then, it is waiting for us to do something about it. and he did not. >> and 16. i mean tell me a little bit about him. he is under sanction, was stationed in december because he has his concorde company mentioned in the indictment that...

More than they want out. lets turn to our nbc national security analyst clint watts, is this everything out transparency, or is this political selective transparency for partisan purpose. >> its totally partisan, its selective, its cherry picking, and its also put out under this vail veil of the public needs to know. and the public does need to know. thats why were doing the mueller investigation. and you need to determine if someone is part of an espionage operation, foreign terrorist organizat...

Often with the help of the fsb, which allowed them into the country in the leadup to the winter olympics in sochi. now hes saying we need to work together on cyber security after perpetrating not just a major hacking of the u.s. democratic election system, but probably the greatest espionage operation even during the cold war. the russians never did what they did in 2016. putin is taking a deep bow and trump is patting him on the back for it. i agree with the senators, its like putting an arsoni...

Become some international espionage operation where one country is trying to trick the voters here into thinking one thing and the campaigns are retaliating through intermediaries locked up in embassies. i just think thats nuts and, you know, i think its easy to either go into the legal weeds here or get interested in the intrigue or the drama and thats certainly where roger stone wants us to go. you know, our democracy was attacked and i certainly hope the members who take his testimony at the ...

Participants here have mentioned, roger stone accusing others of malining him is a pretty rich irony. this is someone whos spent his professional life maligning people on the other side of the partisan spectrum. so i think, as the others were hinting at, i think he wants to put on a show. but i do want to touch back on the seriousness of what were talking about here. if you had someone who was an adviser of the trump campaign talking to julian assange who is in the ecuadorian embassy, im not a l...
