by President Trump The ░░░░░░░░ themselves have Said this ░░░░░░░░ not Putin s idea ░░░░░░░░ was Trump s idea ░░░░░░░░ have the One on ░░░░░░░░ meeting We still don ░░░░░░░░ know what was Discussed ░░░░░░░░ I believe that ultimately ░░░░░░░░ Helsinki meeting the private ░░░░░░░░ not just the sunny ░░░░░░░░ comments will come to ░░░░░░░░ A key part of ░░░░░░░░ the Mueller investigation finds ░░░░░░░░ to go back quickly ░░░░░░░░ your Question about the ░░░░░░░░ G20 Meeting and the ░░░░░░░░ of the Statement the ░░░░░░░░ day President Trump echoes ░░░░░░░░ Putin s talking points ░░░░░░░░ me as a Russia ░░░░░░░░ that Has been the ░░░░░░░░ that s been So ░░░░░░░░ Talking about adoption of ░░░░░░░░ babies is a Russian ░░░░░░░░ point It s not ░░░░░░░░ adoption of Russian babies ░░░░░░░░ s

░░░░░░░░ that President Trump Personally ░░░░░░░░ into the Statement that ░░░░░░░░ issued on Behalf himself ░░░░░░░░ his son about The ░░░░░░░░ Tower meeting So yes ░░░░░░░░ s very very Significant ░░░░░░░░ co opting a you ░░░░░░░░ talking point Listen garts ░░░░░░░░ many questions Here What ░░░░░░░░ President Trump and Vladimir ░░░░░░░░ discuss Why are there ░░░░░░░░ these examples Of the ░░░░░░░░ trying to Conceal was ░░░░░░░░ on What is going ░░░░░░░░ And that s actually ░░░░░░░░ of The really interesting ░░░░░░░░ in This which is ░░░░░░░░ main reason Heads of ░░░░░░░░ get together to Talk ░░░░░░░░ to work up policies ░░░░░░░░ Compromises and have discussions ░░░░░░░░ then they bring back ░░░░░░░░ Government and implement One ░░░░░░░░ the reasons you go ░░░░░░░░ These meetings with staff ░░░░░░░░ Sort of there s ░░░░░░░░ to follow Up on ░░░░░░░░ work afterwards You know ░░░░░░░░ of what is just ░░░░░░░░ strange is that Donald ░░░░░░░░ Is having these lengthy ░░░░░░░░ Meetings and there s ░░░░░░░░ public Sign about what ░░░░░░░░ coming out of Them ░░░░░░░░ know we re not ░░░░░░░░ the State Department leap ░░░░░░░░ Action immediately afterwards To ░░░░░░░░ know follow through on ░░░░░░░░ brave new peace plan ░░░░░░░░ Trump and Putin have ░░░░░░░░ up Between the two ░░░░░░░░ them You know what ░░░░░░░░ re seeing is That ░░░░░░░░ conversations sort of Appear ░░░░░░░░ happen in some sort ░░░░░░░░ Black hole or parallel ░░░░░░░░ Where there are no ░░░░░░░░ Left publicly on the ░░░░░░░░ S Government And that ░░░░░░░░ troubling in and of ░░░░░░░░ because you sort of ░░░░░░░░ To imagine that they ░░░░░░░░ not sort Of getting ░░░░░░░░ and talking About Manchester ░░░░░░░░ s season This year ░░░░░░░░ in fact as Susan ░░░░░░░░ talking About one of ░░░░░░░░ things that s Weird ░░░░░░░░ that we re continuing ░░░░░░░░ see the president amplify ░░░░░░░░ strange Russian talking Points ░░░░░░░░ to just within the ░░░░░░░░ couple of days we ░░░░░░░░ seen The president talking ░░░░░░░░ sort Of this incredible ░░░░░░░░ History of the Russian ░░░░░░░░ the Soviet invasion Of ░░░░░░░░ to go after Terrorists ░░░░░░░░ is a view not ░░░░░░░░ by any member of ░░░░░░░░ Foreign policy historian or ░░░░░░░░ press Renato I want ░░░░░░░░ know why The big ░░░░░░░░ want to ask you ░░░░░░░░ Question The president supposedly ░░░░░░░░ Possession of his interpreter ░░░░░░░░ Notes following that July ░░░░░░░░ Meeting with Putin Could ░░░░░░░░ action be part of ░░░░░░░░ Obstruction case against the ░░░░░░░░ he certainly appears to ░░░░░░░░ like he s trying ░░░░░░░░ obstruct The counterintelligence Investigation ░░░░░░░░ him Keep in mind ░░░░░░░░ also learned Recently don ░░░░░░░░ the FBI has Got ░░░░░░░░ counterintelligence Investigation to determine ░░░░░░░░ or not he s ░░░░░░░░ as a Russian operative ░░░░░░░░ asset And here it ░░░░░░░░ like he s Trying ░░░░░░░░ cover up his Communications ░░░░░░░░ the I ve got ░░░░░░░░ say don a lot ░░░░░░░░ Times I ve been ░░░░░░░░ your program And I ░░░░░░░░ come up with all ░░░░░░░░ Of potentially innocent Explanations ░░░░░░░░ conduct by Trump s ░░░░░░░░ And I have a ░░░░░░░░ of trouble Explaining any ░░░░░░░░ Giving any innocent reason ░░░░░░░░ This one It is ░░░░░░░░ hard to explain why ░░░░░░░░ president of the United ░░░░░░░░ would meet with an ░░░░░░░░ and then try to ░░░░░░░░ The details of that ░░░░░░░░ From his own government ░░░░░░░░ mean there s really ░░░░░░░░ Explanation And I think ░░░░░░░░ re right that That ░░░░░░░░ something that would be ░░░░░░░░ interest to the FBI ░░░░░░░░ on The counterintelligence side ░░░░░░░░ Determine whether or not ░░░░░░░░ s Involved with or ░░░░░░░░ with The Russians but ░░░░░░░░ as you Point out ░░░░░░░░ the criminal side Let ░░░░░░░░ ask you about the ░░░░░░░░ Renato Because they re ░░░░░░░░ whether To subpoena the ░░░░░░░░ s But is it ░░░░░░░░ that Mueller Has already ░░░░░░░░ to this Person Because ░░░░░░░░ question now is Where ░░░░░░░░ the notes I think ░░░░░░░░ is very possible I ░░░░░░░░ think that Mueller Should ░░░░░░░░ if he hasn t ░░░░░░░░ But I will say ░░░░░░░░ a citizen I Want ░░░░░░░░ elected representatives To look ░░░░░░░░ this I called on ░░░░░░░░ for the House to ░░░░░░░░ that And I was ░░░░░░░░ to see that Adam ░░░░░░░░ said that he s ░░░░░░░░ to Be subpoenaing the ░░░░░░░░ Because remember much of ░░░░░░░░ Mueller s investigating may ░░░░░░░░ Reach the public Even ░░░░░░░░ he issues a report ░░░░░░░░ We heard today the ░░░░░░░░ nominee Saying he ll ░░░░░░░░ it public the Details ░░░░░░░░ that meeting could be ░░░░░░░░ but it s important ░░░░░░░░ our elected representatives Who ░░░░░░░░ going to evaluate you ░░░░░░░░ whether or not for ░░░░░░░░ the president should Stay ░░░░░░░░ office for them to ░░░░░░░░ That information and get ░░░░░░░░ the Bottom of this ░░░░░░░░ the sake of The ░░░░░░░░ Let me ask you ░░░░░░░░ Susan Is President Trump ░░░░░░░░ Putin Exactly what he ░░░░░░░░ given Everything that we ░░░░░░░░ seen and Learned Well ░░░░░░░░ s interesting You ve ░░░░░░░░ a certain note of ░░░░░░░░ creep into some of ░░░░░░░░ Russian commentary There was ░░░░░░░░ jubilation After Trump was ░░░░░░░░ Remember he ran a ░░░░░░░░ campaign Of sucking up ░░░░░░░░ Putin Inexplicably We ll ░░░░░░░░ find out a lot ░░░░░░░░ about why that was ░░░░░░░░ the Report is issued ░░░░░░░░ Russians have somewhat Soured ░░░░░░░░ him because American Policies ░░░░░░░░ not changed Drastically And ░░░░░░░░ course that s also ░░░░░░░░ You hear from President ░░░░░░░░ s Defenders here inside ░░░░░░░░ United States when confronted ░░░░░░░░ some Of the evidence ░░░░░░░░ we re Talking about ░░░░░░░░ president s Continuing public ░░░░░░░░ for Putin His mysterious ░░░░░░░░ of Putin s talking ░░░░░░░░ The strange and obscure ░░░░░░░░ For his private undisclosed ░░░░░░░░ What they tend to ░░░░░░░░ as Defenders here in ░░░░░░░░ U S Is Well ░░░░░░░░ never mind pay No ░░░░░░░░ to that president Behind ░░░░░░░░ curtain and just look ░░░░░░░░ the policy of his ░░░░░░░░ never mind the Fact ░░░░░░░░ Trump himself is often ░░░░░░░░ odds with that policy ░░░░░░░░ interestingly you hear a ░░░░░░░░ of this in Moscow ░░░░░░░░ Well essentially saying well ░░░░░░░░ know Trump left to ░░░░░░░░ own Devices would be ░░░░░░░░ best friend But he ░░░░░░░░ really constrained by These ░░░░░░░░ neo con hawk advisers ░░░░░░░░ his administration and by ░░░░░░░░ Politics of it here ░░░░░░░░ the United States which ░░░░░░░░ blame On Democrats So ░░░░░░░░ a sense we still ░░░░░░░░ President Trump acting in ░░░░░░░░ with the Putin Government ░░░░░░░░ pointed out Trump s ░░░░░░░░ Comments about the FBI ░░░░░░░░ The investigation I can ░░░░░░░░ underscore enough how I ░░░░░░░░ to be amazed and ░░░░░░░░ by this The president ░░░░░░░░ the United States is ░░░░░░░░ war with his own ░░░░░░░░ with his executive Branch ░░░░░░░░ terms we have Never ░░░░░░░░ from a president Yes ░░░░░░░░ denied under pressure Today ░░░░░░░░ he was acting as ░░░░░░░░ Agent of the Russian ░░░░░░░░ It s a statement ░░░░░░░░ will go Down I ░░░░░░░░ sure with Richard Nixon ░░░░░░░░ I am not a ░░░░░░░░ Perhaps with Bill Clinton ░░░░░░░░ Equivocations about what exactly ░░░░░░░░ nature of sex is ░░░░░░░░ is is What is ░░░░░░░░ Right That s what ░░░░░░░░ thought about This morning ░░░░░░░░ it s still let ░░░░░░░░ not lose Our sense ░░░░░░░░ shock and dismay That ░░░░░░░░ is how the president ░░░░░░░░ speaking about the rule ░░░░░░░░ Law and about the ░░░░░░░░ in this Country So ░░░░░░░░ we know what The ░░░░░░░░ Mueller was tasked With ░░░░░░░░ The Russia this investigation ░░░░░░░░ anything that comes up ░░░░░░░░ crime that comes up ░░░░░░░░ I m just wondering ░░░░░░░░ s Assembling a timeline ░░░░░░░░ gave a timeline at ░░░░░░░░ top of Our show ░░░░░░░░ show all these Things ░░░░░░░░ are happening People surrounded ░░░░░░░░ Trump People who lied ░░░░░░░░ their Contacts with Russians ░░░░░░░░ this timeline of all ░░░░░░░░ interactions between Trump And ░░░░░░░░ his campaign and Russia ░░░░░░░░ the Trump Organization So ░░░░░░░░ how far back does ░░░░░░░░ Go Does it go ░░░░░░░░ into his Business dealings ░░░░░░░░ long ago With Russia ░░░░░░░░ make some sort of ░░░░░░░░ in to now How ░░░░░░░░ back does it go ░░░░░░░░ goes back as far ░░░░░░░░ is Necessary to tell ░░░░░░░░ narrative Whatever that narrative ░░░░░░░░ up Being It certainly ░░░░░░░░ that Business deals were ░░░░░░░░ of This We know ░░░░░░░░ from the Michael Cohen ░░░░░░░░ plea that the Trump ░░░░░░░░ Moscow project was Under ░░░░░░░░ that the president While ░░░░░░░░ candidate and while the ░░░░░░░░ nominee for the GOP ░░░░░░░░ out there trying to ░░░░░░░░ The GOP s policies ░░░░░░░░ soften Them toward Russia ░░░░░░░░ to Compliment Vladimir Putin ░░░░░░░░ the Campaign trail while ░░░░░░░░ to Do business with ░░░░░░░░ Putin At least according ░░░░░░░░ what Buzzfeed s reporting ░░░░░░░░ while Trying to give ░░░░░░░░ put uh a 50 ░░░░░░░░ penthouse in Trump Tower ░░░░░░░░ So this is I ░░░░░░░░ t think There s ░░░░░░░░ to end up being ░░░░░░░░ Clear line between where ░░░░░░░░ Trump business deal ends ░░░░░░░░ Where Trump s collusion ░░░░░░░░ Russia begins because it ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump himself who ░░░░░░░░ Erased whatever line might ░░░░░░░░ Existed between the two ░░░░░░░░ that being said sort ░░░░░░░░ One of the interesting ░░░░░░░░ That we ve seen ░░░░░░░░ out over The last ░░░░░░░░ days is the idea ░░░░░░░░ sort of the Benjamin ░░░░░░░░ at law fair has ░░░░░░░░ Writing about this That ░░░░░░░░ obstruction could be The ░░░░░░░░ that s sort of ░░░░░░░░ way the president has ░░░░░░░░ Trying to stymie the ░░░░░░░░ Investigation is the thing ░░░░░░░░ He s doing on ░░░░░░░░ s behalf.
