By the way, theres no indication that mr. flynn wants to withdraw his guilty plea. and even if he did, that is an awfully difficult thing to do. >> one last quick question for you, chuck. on the matter of alex van der swan, who pled guilty yesterday, it was said in the hearing, we have the transcript of it today. one of the prosecutors, andrew weissman, said there was no cooperation agreement. hes just pleading guilty. should that tell us anything about the case? >> the fact that he doesnt want ...

>> if reporting is accurate that they are close to a plea agreement, he would plead to one of the counts in the existing indictment. if they added new charges against mr. manafort, what we may be seeing soon are those new, additional charges. hard to know for sure. >> on this matter of mike flynn. this is something that im reacting to, both in terms of this order that ive seen from the judge, the judge appears to have filed this order or issued this order on his, on his own say-so. it doesnt app...

And coats, so they got him a waiver. but the gru guy, hes sanctioned and no one admits to him coming here. so, if he really did come to the u.s. as a sanctioned person, somebody would have had to make the case it was in our national interest to let him into the country. lets issue him a waiver. who did that? we reached out to the state department yesterday, was this guy here? nobody admits to meeting with him. "the washington post" stands by their reporting, he was here. was he here? and we aske...

Flynn case, how do you see this matter? >> much ado about nothing. many judges around the country have a standard discovery order that they enter in every single case. and my understanding, that judge sullivan has a similar discovery order. in other words, in every case, regardless of its posture, he will file an order telling the government to make sure that it abides by its discovery obligations, that it provides exculpatory or impeachment information to the defense. my understanding is that h...

Disagree with those allegations. but when alex van der swan was arrested and indicted, surprise, and that was unsealed yesterday. when he pled guilty in federal court yesterday, that did raise the prospect, oftentimes when people plead guilty, its because theyre cooperating, it raised the prospect that he might be an inside source, a very interesting inside source of information for muellers prosecutors about alpha bank. one of the three founders of alpha bank is his dad now, his father-in-law. ...

And robert mueller in the past. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure, rachel. >> first, let me ask you about this sealed document filed under the case number that applies to the manafort and gates case. were told that this is filed in such a way, like, almost geographically in such a way that should make us believe that these are new charges or that theres something related to the charges in the case. how should we see that? what do you make of that? >> i think thats probably right, rachel, ...

It could mean charges have been filed against new defendants in their case, meaning new people could have been added to the case that is already pending against manafort and gates. it could also be what they call a criminal information, which is the document that usually precedes a guilty plea in a case. lots of speculation that gates is going to change to a guilty plea. maybe thats what this is, we dont know. could be any number of things. but now everybody is watching that case and that binder...

Staffers spent years building a case against golden valley lending claiming the lender illegal little charges people up to 950% interest rates. nick mulvaney who got more than $60,000 from payday lenders while he was in congress just dropped the suit without explanation. finally trumps bodyguard who punched a protester in the face outside trump tower during the campaign. remember that? he allegedly escorted both stormy daniels and karen mcdug to their encounter with trump in 2006, he confirmed a...

Lying to investigators about his interactions with gates. at some point, mueller also filed the new charges in the gates is/manafort case. while we dont know the specifics of the new charges we do know investigators are now probing whether manafort promised a chicago banker a white house job in exchange for home loans totaling $16 million. so much money it totals 5% of all of the banks loans. all from a bank that describes itself on facebook as having a focus on va and fha lending for active dut...

Producing. these posts and videos have likely now been seen by thousands and tens of thousands of people. its a real time look at the information apocalypse where our world is vulnerable to propaganda, to dark-targeted advertising from foreign governments so much so that it threatens to undermine the credibility of fact. joining me by phone, charlie wurtzell. and charlie, let me start with you. i just quoted that piece. we have technical difficulties, so we have you on the phone. why is it, and ...
