that, you know, the mind reels at the possibilities. i don t know if he did that and i don t know who he spoke to, if he did. but that is the kind of gold prosecutors look for which is admissions from their targets and there is no better way to get admissions than to have someone they trust wearing a wire. let me ask phil, in addition to the cia and fbi, do you think he might have been wearing a wire over these past few weeks or months in order to engrash yat himself with the prosecutors. heck, yes. the first way you build a case is through informants and the second is through wires. communications picture, wolf, can give you a snapshot of things like financial transaction. it cannot get into somebody s head to talk about things like intent. so this guy for the past 60 days can fill in significant pieces
i spoke to a source who was in touch with white house officials who was aware of the message and talking points they view what happened today as a distraction. it s an incredible takeaway. it may be delusional to view this as a distraction. as we can tell, the disstraks is only getting bigger and bigger. gym acosta at the white house. senator ed marquis is joining us, he s a democrat on the foreign relations committee. is there evidence now, do you think this is hard evidence of collusion? i think in the papadopoulos case, it s clear that he was trying to, through an intermediary, get information that russian officials may have had on hillary clinton. and if that s the case, then what we have here is some contact between someone inside of the trump campaign with a russian who said that he had
