With connections to russian intelligence at the height of the campaign. now, paul manaforts lawyers have since come back saying that that polling data was actually intended to go to two ukranian oligarchs through kilimnick. it is unclear why manafort wanted to give this polling data to oligarchs and whether or not it satisfies muellers questions about any possible collusion. so that is the manafort piece of it. but the question with rosenstein, where will the russia investigation go once rosenst...

To be leaking, slipping internal campaign polling to a foreign intelligence asset like kilimnik. >> right. >> but what the polling data is, we dont know. was it really sensitive, highly targeted stuff? >> okay. >> or was it simply, you know, basic public polling data that you could read on real clear politics? >> im short on time. i got to get the other folks in here. >> right. sure. >> steve, listen, you say the focus needs to be on oleg deripaska. so first remind our viewers who that is and wh...

Suggests that paul manafort was providing that data to the russians. we dont know for sure but thats what it looks like. its hard to imagine another reason why a russian linked to russian intelligence would want american polling data. what legitimate reason is there for paul manafort to pass this information along? this is collusion. this is an indication that there was collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. the question now is what did the president know and when did he know it?...

I want to bring in suzanne. and max boot. as well as the author of the threat matrix inside the fbi and the war on global terror. welcome to the program. i hope youre having a good evening. every weekend we learn something new in the russia investigation. we keep saying theres so much that we dont know. now we know that manafort shared polling data with the russian operative. with ties to putin during the 206 campaign. 2016 campaign. it feels like this could be straight out of a political thrill...

Comment. it raises the possibility of collusion. was he doing this to help the russian troll farms in their russian interference, or was he doing it because we know hes a swamp creature and he either owed money or wanted to make money. the president saying, not me. >> there is a possibility he didnt know. i think there was a feeling certainly early on when all of this began by the fbi that a lot of people on the campaign close to trump were trying to pocket money, right, make business out of thi...

Supreme court. >> this manafort, the lack of redaction which allowed us to learn about these allegations, the white house can say that this had nothing to do with the president. yes, this happened while manafort was campaign chairman. but the president didnt know about it. no one else knew about it. >> thats why we need the mueller report. we need to see how mueller has put these pieces together. we dont know yet what that polling data represented. we dont know as you suggested whether it was ma...

Robert muellers report to congress or to the public. so that is barrs stance. but really it is fair to say rod rosenstein has been the big protector for the special counsel. he appointed robert mueller. and he has given mueller broad authority including interestingly allowing the special counsel to investigate allegations in a paul manafort colluded with the russians during the 2016 campaign. and that is a claim that we saw hinted at in court papers on tuesday when manaforts lawyers inadvertentl...

Investigation where a prosecutor will say, hey, i think this was wrong. i dont like that this happened, he should have known about this, but i cant make a prosecution on it. is that what you think is happening here? because there is no charge. >> not necessarily. i agree with you. we shouldnt have such a low bar that just semi conspiring with the russian government is not the kind of behavior that we would expect of a presidential campaign chair, the top person in a campaign. so thats certainly ...

Mid-february at the earliest since the confirmation hearings dont start until tuesday. now, we did see the presidents pick william barr up on capitol hill on wednesday, and he told senator lindsey graham that he plans to be transparent when it comes to the mueller probe and any release of robert muellers report to congress or to the public. so that is barrs stance. but really it is fair to say rod rosenstein has been the big protector and proponent for the special counsel. he appointed robert mu...

Then throw a tantrum. >> yeah, although that has been a traditional trump negotiating tactic, you know, to storm out of the room, to show that youre willing to do that. and i think some of those theatrics are meant for his base. you know, you were talking earlier about manafort sharing polling data with the russians. someone needs to share polling data with the president because he is losing on both the issue of the wall and the shutdown. the problem hes got, don, is that where hes not losing is...
