Intended to be redacted, blacked out, but they botched -- the lawyers botched the formatting error, and people were able to read through it. so all we know on this question of the polling data is that manafort shared polling data from the trump campaign through his former deputy, konstantin kilimnik, a guy who u.s. intelligence officials have said was a russian intelligence asset. now, where that polling data went, you know, were learning more. apparently the original reports were that it went t...

Oligarchs. we just dont -- we can say for sure a couple things. number one, its improper on its face for the campaign chairman 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. >>...

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...

With the president focused on the wall, its been a while since hes talked about the mueller investigation. it may not be top of the list on his twitter feed, but the investigation continues with big news in the past two days. toe, we learned rodpected to lee department soon after the new no, maminee is confirmed. who says that rosenstein is not being forced out. this is on the heels of the other big development in the mueller investigation. the court filings showing that former trump campaign ch...

Knowledge his former campaign chairman paul manafort shared internal polling data with his russian associate before the 2016 election, a potential example of coordination between the campaign and the russians. >> you know that paul manafort was sharing polling data from your campaign with the russians? >> no, i didnt know anything about it. nothing about it. >> acting as the go between, it was ultimately intended for two powerful russian oligarches who owed manafort million. >> one of the oligar...

Manaforts own attorneys change that? >> of course. this is an admission that manafort was doing something incredibly shady even as he was running the trump campaign. look, don, if paul manafort were sharing this polling data with the super pact, he would be breaking the federal election law right there. think about what it means that he is sharing this data with a foreign government seeking to influence the american election. this is part of this web of deceit and the fact that he owed like $17 ...

Have since come back saying that that polling data was actually intended to go to two ukranian oligarchs through konstanin kilimnick. it is unclear though why paul manafort wanted to give this polling data to him, to those oligarchs, and whether or not it satisfies muellers questions about any possible collusion here. so that is the manafort piece of it. but the question now when it comes to rosenstein, where will the russia investigation go once rosenstein hasnt already been wrapped up. and how...

Knew and decisions he made to advance his own interests with guys who owed him money, guys he liked, guys he knew, and had nothing to do with the campaign specifically? >> yeah, its possible, but its starting to look really unlikely. first of all were talking about the campaign chair, the number one person in the campaign. were not talking about someone lower. and then number two, this polling data. it just seems really weird. you dont ingratiate yourself with someone you owe money to by giving ...

And you know, the president, i just put this on twitter yesterday. the president had tweeted that there was no collusion alleged in the manafort indictment, and now with the revelations yesterday -- and they are revelations by mistake because the lawyer for manafort by mistake didnt redact properly the information, and we know now that mueller believes that manafort was turning over this polling data, this private trump polling data to the russians and talking about the ukrainian peace plan. all...

Because there is a lot going on related to russia and robert mueller. the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, who has been overseeing muellers investigation planning to leave the doj after the presidents nominee for attorney general, william barr, is confirmed. that is according to a cnn source, which raises a question is the investigation close to wrapping up? that comes as the fallout continues from the bombshell revelation that paul manafort shared polling data with russian konstantin kil...
