Focusing on another roger stone associate in regard to wikileaks. late last month reports emerged that mueller has e-mails from the new york-based birther and conspiracy theorist jerome corsi written to stone that seem to anticipate the release of hacked democratic e-mails during the campaign. both men deny having any inside knowledge about what wikileaks was planning. stone has said he spoke to trump the day after receiving those messages from corsi. this weekend trump lawyer rudy giuliani was ...

>> im asking you for the truth, sir. >> well, i want the truth, too. >> if you like that, theres more where it came from. heres giuliani again. this time hes not saying that collusion didnt happen. hes arguing that even if it did, its not a crime. >> and did roger stone ever give the president a heads-up on wikileaks leaks concerning hillary clinton and the dnc. >> no, he didnt. not at all. i dont believe so. but again, if roger stone gave anybody heads up about wikileaks leaks, thats not a crim...

Answer the posed question in that way? if his answer is seen as enticing manafort to lie for him, holding out the idea he might reward manafort for his help after the fact. that is the kind of thing that can get a president impeached. im reading from facts in the nixon impeachment case. its really just a fancy way of saying its a no-no to ask someone to lie for you if youre in turn promising to pardon them down the road. we have no evidence the president is doing anything similar in talking abou...

Everywhere. he wants americans to hear the caravan more than four -- more than the four white supremacists in southern california indicted just today for carrying out violent attacks at political rallies. did you hear about that one? hmm. he hasnt talked about that. and he definitely doesnt want you to talk about the russia investigation, especially as e-mails surfaced today between roger stone and steve bannon about wikileaks, the disclosures of e-mails stolen by the russians. thats amid report...

Certainly hes acting like he was some kind of conduit, had some back door communication with julian assange sflp but does it prove, shimon, that roger stone was a backchannel link between wikileaks and the campaign? >> i mean, if you just look at these e-mails on their face, you know, you can read a lot into it. and it does seem that way. certainly from his e-mails. but we dont know exactly everything the mueller team has and what other information they have. there are other e-mails from steve b...

Party. hes really a moderate republican. he kind of acknowledged the only way he could have gotten elected back in the day was in the runoff election where he didnt have to run in a republican primary because he would have been attacked from the right. but right now he is in that group. hes very close to governor kasich of ohio and he is in that group that donald trump has said basically hasta la vista, baby to in the republican party. >> that was good, dave. ive got to give that to you. by the ...

Posture, bluff, hype based on wikileaks twitter feed and miscellaneous tips. do you buy that? >> roger has been amending his story from day one on this. in fact, late this afternoon the "washington post" filed a really nice piece kind of cataloging his story as its been amended. this is another amendment. because he denied talking to anybody in the campaign and he said oops, i didnt even remember i had an e-mail exchange with bannon and this claim. so roger is hard to take at face value, frankly...

Authoritarian regime. our guest is a national security robe reporter for "the post" and she joins me now. these hackers, i guess they are named fancy bear and they were named in the indictment last month, when he was talking about interference in the 2016 election. what have they been doing exactly? >> so fancy bear or apt-28 is a unit of the russian military spy agency gru, the gru. and they have been active for years and years in information warfare campaigns across europe, western europe, eur...

And what he told me today was the special counsel believes that roger stone was communicating with julian assange on wikileaks. now, again, this is his interpretation of what mueller is asking about, and he said, you know, stone is my mentor. and he did not collude with julian assange, and im just not -- im not going to talk about that before the grand jury. >> anderson? >> yes. >> its really important to focus a little bit on what he was asked by muellers office, at least generally, because a c...
