Complete ly set that aside. this filing says my col cohen when he was having these contacts with the russian government, he had done that with the full knowledge of the then candidate, now president of the united states, donald trump. i think the thing -- the piece -- the new information in the timeline is so significant. if you look at all of the contacts we know they started contacts with the russian government where they asked for synergy at a government level, started in 2015, they, of cours...

And repeating his lies to the public including two other potential witnesses. now, im no lawyer, but that seems fairly obstruction-y, to me. the briefs a little that over the course of 12 meetings paul manafort lied about his contacts with the trump administration before he pleaded guilty to a number of crimes back in september, long after he left the trump circle. he also lied about contact with an individual believed to be a russian intelligence agent. the frequency of that contact and the sub...

That with the full knowledge of the then candidate, now president of the united states, donald trump. i think the thing -- the piece -- the new information in the timeline is so significant. if you look at all of the contacts we know they started contacts with the russian government where they asked for synergy at a government level, started in 2015, they, of course, continued with this june 2016 trump tower meeting. the same time in august or just after that in august paul manafort was meeting ...

His questions? how exactly did that work? its just a big gaping hole here. its fascinating. >> matthew? >> yeah. thats a great question from cynthia. i wouldnt begin to want to speculate about the answer. one of the most interesting things for me in this filing, ever since mueller came in a couple weeks ago, tore up the cooperation agreement and said that police repo that paul manafort has been lying, what has he been lying about? has it been his personal lobbying issues or was he lying about th...

I read this from the national security perspective. yes, theres lots of redactions. theres twos audiences that dont need to read between the lines. first seniors anyone honestly did anything wrong because mueller is clearly saying talk to me early, talk to me often and tell the truth and i will ask for zero of your time in jail. right? i will not lock you up. that is a message because they clearly are gath heing more information. lets not forget, the other is russia. russia is an audience for th...
