Communication with the kremlin." thats an amazing piece of story telling in terms of the communication between these two guys but whats the underlying story there? >> part of our assignment was to understand this guy christopher steele who had these two assignments, one for a private sector client in fact representing hillary clinton and her campaign and another, a guy who felt he had an obligation as he described it to friends, an obligation to tell authorities and alert people to what he had f...

Represents hillary clinton and the democratic national committee. >> tom, you mentioned senator lindsey graham there. there has been this effort by senator graham and senator grassley to refer christopher steele to the justice department for possible prosecution and you have a striking report on that tonight. im going to quote from your article "friends and former colleagues say steele has been dismayed by the attacks on him, particularly about a criminal referral that two u.s. senators made to ...

Friday, it did not go off like the bomb they hoped and promised it would, but it did make clear that what the white house and congressional republicans think is their best shot at derailing the russia investigation, derailing robert muellers special counsel investigation, they think their best shot at it is to try to tarnish the fbis whole investigation of the russia attack, to tarnish the whole counterintelligence and criminal investigation of the trump campaign for its potential cooperation in...

Post" has published a whole bunch of new reporting we have never seen before about what actually happened between this guy christopher steele and the fbi. quoting from the lede here, "in the fall of 2016, a little more than a month before donald trump was elected president, christopher steele had the undivided attention of the fbi. for months, the british former spy had been working to alert the americans to what he believed were disturbing ties trump had to russia. hed grown so worried about wh...

Did get permission from mr. steeles associates to mention the fact that we had talked with him during the campaign. one of the things -- and because we had talked to him in september and october of 2016, we thought that, obviously weve been following what hes had to say and read the dossier as everyone else did when buzzfeed published it some months later. we, like the rest of the country and many investigators, have been wondering is this dossier with its salacious detail about donald trump, co...

One of the things we were struck by is how they seemed to be gathering around christopher steele, a person that they know, his record is considered quite credible during his many years, 22 years working for her majestys secret intelligence service. and so the idea that a former intelligence official who has been -- who is considered both credible and reliable and did honorable service would be charged or have a criminal referral just somehow seemed to be an affront. and we talked with one member...

But thanks to the "washington post," we have an account of what happened when they met in canada. "sir andrew wood, former british ambassador to russia described steeles research for mccain and told mccain he could arrange for him to review it. mccain, he recalled, was visibly shocked. the senator expressed interest in reading the full report, wood said, recalling that mccain responded "thank you for seeing me, you did the right thing and im grateful. my first thought has to be for my country." ...

The campaigns help to tilt the u.s. election a plot steele said was ordered by vladimir putin. the fbi investigators treated steele as a peer, a russia expert so well trusted he assisted the justice department on past cases, he provided briefing materials for british prime ministers and at least one u.s. president. during intense questioning that day in rome, they alluded to some of their own findings of ties between russia and the trump campaign." so this is new information. by this point, by t...
