Point what paul manafort allegedly lied about even after he claimed to be cooperating with the special counsel. some paragraphs are redacted, weve seen that before. but this includes details about manaforts alleged lies about his contacts with, guess who, a suspected russian intelligence agent as well as his attempts to reach the trump administration recently. we learned today that guilty trump aide rick gates, who, of course, also flipped, had his sentencing delayed. thats because mueller says ...

Were desperately trying to find out what happened so that they could act on it, people at the pentagon, our top military commanders, what was discussed, what was decided. and in the end one source of information, believe it or not, was our intelligence agent of what was discussed in cables to their ambassadors and things like that. thats how people ended up finding out what happened. >> so the russians new the whol thing but our government did not. >> the were desperately trying it using russian...

Thats what i was illuding to, he could have many different and one is the campaign chairman for the trump campaign and two is his own web of business interests and his own increasing panic over that compromise web of business interest when his russian linked oligarch was thrown out of the presidency of ukraine. so we dont know the why behind it. you make an excellent point. that senator said that this is not that big of a deal because it wasnt just a russian intelligence agent. it was someone th...

It wasnt just a russian intelligence agent. it was someone that manafort already knew and had worked with. far from being exculpatory, that should have been the biggest red flag of all. the idea that donald trump hired paul manafort as his campaign chairman when these links between manafort and russians and ukrainians tied to russia were well-known among a wide array of people and its -- again, its astonishing that manafort was hired to run the republican presidential nominees campaign in this k...

Discussions of ukraine policy for the campaign and i guess for the future administration. again, this is something that is being shared by someone who is running the campaign and someone whos a russian intelligence agent. theres also a mention in the documents about a meeting in madrid that we had never known about between con stand teen kalimnick and paul manafort. what does this add up to? we still have a lot of questions obviously that are not answered by this document or from other filings i...

Made the decision to, you know, run this sort of false flag in to him. >> you think because he had this social media page, some of his interactions on there may have been why he was picked out of all the had earns who may be visiti americans who may be working and visiting russia right now? >> one of these fsb officers walks up to someone working in russia and says i have these documents. our embassy employees know better and walk away. hes been set up, hes not a spy working for the united state...

Government archives under that title, but that title is often used by many countries as a cover for an intelligence agent. he also served in mexico, in the russian embassy there, and then moved into the arms trade. in the early 2000s, he was involved in selling warships and gunships for coast guards and navies in various countries, especially in africa and other parts of the developing world. and then he went to work for this russian oligarch as a kind of all-around fixer, special projects opera...

"time" magazine cites an intelligence agent is saying he put the squeeze on manafort. and this comes as manafort awaits sentencing for financial convictions and for broken plea agreement with special counsel robert mueller. we have cnn justice correspondent, jessica schneider, joining us now. was manafort compromised? thats the question. he was certainly vulnerable to it. >> right. and thats probably the key question here that muellers team is now investigating, especially because of all the tim...

Shifting mosaic of puzzle pieces out there, and were -- what were getting is detail thats being filled in here. so were getting color. and boyarkin is, you know, hes an interesting character. hes a former intelligence agent, and what he did -- his job was, was running special projects for deripaska in africa and other places, and that may have included, you know, collecting debts from people like paul manafort. but whats important to see is that this is just one of many pieces out there that are...

>> thats an extraordinary bombshell to hear about. the fact that somebody in manaforts position had that sort of leverage on them from a russian intelligence agent, that has enormous significance. total speculation, of course. this could be part of what we hear that manafort was not being forthright about, and that could certainly lead to a more tight nexus, sort of a missing link if you will between actual government agents and directly trying to influence the campaign. >> but then i guess in o...
