Answers only, no questions about subscription obstruction of justice and a possible in person follow up again on collusion only. this as the presidents onetime lawyer pointed out, is said to have been cooperating with the special counsel for quite some time, perhaps in exchange for a consideration for penalties he may be facing in the not-too-distant future. as i pointed out, last night a huge rally here, we saw the president once again reiterated his claim that this entire investigation is hurt...

. does that look like a tell to you because we just went through on the screen all these anonymous people and rosenstein, the people doing the leaking that the times finds credible are secondhand having read some other description of it. >> that could well be. at the end of the day, either rosenstein was rattled and said a few things that he didnt follow through on and they were entirely speculative in terms of the 25th amendment and knew he couldnt follow through on wearing a wiretap either, or...

Things going upon. first, the russian attack. the hack, the leaking, the fake accounts on social media. then these sort of mysterious outreaches to various trump associates. that seemed to get into high gear just as candidate donald trump was emerging from the pack and becoming, you know, the likely nominee in the spring of 2016. so when you go back and look at the time line, you see literally, for example, that on march 15th, when trump won five primaries and, you know, really people were begin...

>> ive never seen documents like this, the fisa court is so secret even the judges dont have access to the files. so i dont know what was presented to the fisa court, the only people that know are those who made the presentation and the judges that precede the presentation. >> harris: it seems that the bar is low all around for leaking. in the atmosphere we all live in now, is it on toward to have any sort of situation where a court has such secrecy? do we need eyeballs on just about everything ...

World, and perhaps because of that, they werent put off by this. they often seem quite eager to engage. >> and scott, you say that the russians tried to contact trump or trump associates through e-mails, through facebook, through twitter, through veterans groups, through the nra. what about, lets take those last two, veterans groups and the nra. give us those examples. and did those seem to be attempts by russian intelligence agencies to infiltrate the campaign? >> well, you know, i think its ve...

Back at this saga is the kind of multifaceted nature of it, the fact that it was operating really in three different areas with the famous internet research agency social media operation on facebook and twitter, with the hacking by military intelligence and the leaking of democratic e-mails, and then with these still somewhat murky, you know, outreach to various trump associates. when you add it up over a period of months, you know, theres about a dozen people associated with then candidate trum...

Investigated. >> why isnt the fbi looking at the dnc server? >> also on twitter saying in part that the fbi and all others should be looking into the leaking of classified information, must find leaker now. so a lot of cases there, those are just a few. hypocrisy by the president to say the fbi has no business, no interest to look into this? >> no question. trump views the fbi has his own force that should be used to investigate his political opponents and his enemies and then i think recently s...

Several different statutes. >> hannity: what do your sources say, john, that we will see when this declassification takes place, which is beastly taking place now? >> i suspect that we will find out that the fbi is monitoring and intrusion on the campaign in the political process and the transition, and the early president was more intrusive than has been acknowledged publicly. maybe not wiretapping but other surveillance at techniques and i think we will be surprised, like sarah said, my source...

Investigation? >> melissa: why dont you address that? >> marie: i think mueller has all of these and has seen all of them. i dont think more accountability will hurt that investigation. i think that mueller is still going through the process, other people might be interviewed, other people might be charge, other people might be brought in for questioning but i dont know and they might be. if you put this into the public domain, that could take jury pools, it could take people who are not to be i...

Hunt. there never was any russian collusion. everyone in the doj and fbi knew it and lisa page testified to that fact and thats why all the leaking took place. they were leaking in the hopes they would get an investigationk just to get trump the insurance policy. this is why strzok texted paige, sitting with bill watching cnn, a ton worn out. let me know when you can talk. now we use it as a pretext to go interview people. pretext? to use the power of your office to go after people in the fbi? n...
