that ░░░░░░░░ is Indicted today is ░░░░░░░░ his Own words both ░░░░░░░░ Congress which Form the ░░░░░░░░ of the lies into ░░░░░░░░ witnesses in the form ░░░░░░░░ Threats and persuaing them ░░░░░░░░ To testify resulted in ░░░░░░░░ Charges All stone can ░░░░░░░░ is get himself Into ░░░░░░░░ trouble Stone s problem ░░░░░░░░ that he is His ░░░░░░░░ best witness against Himself ░░░░░░░░ Nick Valencia said when ░░░░░░░░ to forfeit his passport ░░░░░░░░ he said that he ░░░░░░░░ t have A passport ░░░░░░░░ was expired is That ░░░░░░░░ reason he is not ░░░░░░░░ a flight risk No ░░░░░░░░ think they would look ░░░░░░░░ a Number of other ░░░░░░░░ in Determining whether he ░░░░░░░░ a Flight risk Even ░░░░░░░░ he did have a ░░░░░░░░ Passport he would be ░░░░░░░░ to Forfeit it I ░░░░░░░░ to agree here that ░░░░░░░░ has Hurt his case ░░░░░░░░ think we need to ░░░░░░░░ the Big picture which ░░░░░░░░ that his Participation puts ░░░░░░░░ link Between wiki leaks ░░░░░░░░ is Connected to Russia ░░░░░░░░ the Campaign Earlier Sarah ░░░░░░░░ seemed to Try to ░░░░░░░░ this as something That ░░░░░░░░ Stone was doing in ░░░░░░░░ personal time or that ░░░░░░░░ These charges We just ░░░░░░░░ to see this Convergence ░░░░░░░░ has the receipts He ░░░░░░░░ what conversations have Been ░░░░░░░░ the texts phone Calls ░░░░░░░░ was directing whom in ░░░░░░░░ campaign That should make ░░░░░░░░ White House Very worried ░░░░░░░░ raise a good point ░░░░░░░░ the broader context of ░░░░░░░░ Here I was taking ░░░░░░░░ as I Was thinking ░░░░░░░░ this This is the ░░░░░░░░ indictment Deal wg communications ░░░░░░░░ wiki Leaks and the ░░░░░░░░ e mails This is ░░░░░░░░ first indication That the ░░░░░░░░ team believes That team ░░░░░░░░ knew about the Hacks ░░░░░░░░ the DNC and Hillary ░░░░░░░░ campaign This is the ░░░░░░░░ time that Anyone in ░░░░░░░░ Russia probe has Been ░░░░░░░░ in the manner that ░░░░░░░░ was this morning with ░░░░░░░░ FBI Raid This is ░░░░░░░░ from what we There ░░░░░░░░ no question about That ░░░░░░░░ already know Mueller has ░░░░░░░░ a lot of Russian ░░░░░░░░ Russian Intelligence operatives and ░░░░░░░░ Forth for the hacking ░░░░░░░░ those E mails and ░░░░░░░░ of other Servers in ░░░░░░░░ United States The question ░░░░░░░░ been what was The ░░░░░░░░ of the Trump campaign ░░░░░░░░ has been on the ░░░░░░░░ of everyone s mind ░░░░░░░░ think what we saw ░░░░░░░░ is Roger Stone was ░░░░░░░░ with Other people and ░░░░░░░░ times at the Direction ░░░░░░░░ others I heard you ░░░░░░░░ the Congressman about that ░░░░░░░░ moment Ago We don ░░░░░░░░ know exactly who he ░░░░░░░░ In communications with There ░░░░░░░░ no question that some ░░░░░░░░ people in the Trump ░░░░░░░░ were very interested And ░░░░░░░░ to coordinate with Wiki ░░░░░░░░ and trying to get ░░░░░░░░ from wiki leaks The ░░░░░░░░ questionamazing thing that we ░░░░░░░░ sitting Here talk about ░░░░░░░░ or not They ve ░░░░░░░░ a felony I don ░░░░░░░░ know if that is ░░░░░░░░ Standard that Americans care ░░░░░░░░ or not I imagine ░░░░░░░░ a public interest Perspective ░░░░░░░░ a political Perspective even ░░░░░░░░ you can t Prove ░░░░░░░░ beyond a reasonable Doubt ░░░░░░░░ mere fact that there ░░░░░░░░ these connections and these ░░░░░░░░ to coordinate with Wikileaks ░░░░░░░░ of course as Raja ░░░░░░░░ was working with Russian ░░░░░░░░ would be of Great ░░░░░░░░ to the public And ░░░░░░░░ for our viewers if ░░░░░░░░ re just tuning in ░░░░░░░░ You re looking at ░░░░░░░░ the right Side of ░░░░░░░░ screen this is a ░░░░░░░░ gathering outside a Federal ░░░░░░░░ in ft Lauderdale Florida ░░░░░░░░ that court is where ░░░░░░░░ Stone just had his ░░░░░░░░ Appearance and we are ░░░░░░░░ he Is expected to ░░░░░░░░ out with his Attorney ░░░░░░░░ he will be giving ░░░░░░░░ Statement any moment now ░░░░░░░░ ll bring that to ░░░░░░░░ While we wait for ░░░░░░░░ I do Want to ░░░░░░░░ up the one key ░░░░░░░░ there are many many ░░░░░░░░ Lines in this indictment ░░░░░░░░ The one key line ░░░░░░░░ Sarah Sanders was asked ░░░░░░░░ maybe Three maybe more ░░░░░░░░ and she Did not ░░░░░░░░ answer is the Following ░░░░░░░░ A senior Trump campaign ░░░░░░░░ Was directed to contact ░░░░░░░░ About any additional releases ░░░░░░░░ what other damaging Information ░░░░░░░░ 1 Wikileaks had regarding ░░░░░░░░ Clinton campaign Storm thereafter ░░░░░░░░ the Clinton campaign about ░░░░░░░░ Releases of damaging material ░░░░░░░░ Wikileaks So to summarize ░░░░░░░░ was Senior enough in ░░░░░░░░ Trump campaign to be ░░░░░░░░ enough to Direct another ░░░░░░░░ official To reach out ░░░░░░░░ Roger Stone in The ░░░░░░░░ of 2016 Exactly and ░░░░░░░░ ve heard one Of ░░░░░░░░ legal experts talking on ░░░░░░░░ this morning about the ░░░░░░░░ That that is reading ░░░░░░░░ lot into It but ░░░░░░░░ s important because I ░░░░░░░░ this is where you ░░░░░░░░ going Kate that that ░░░░░░░░ using sort of A ░░░░░░░░ tense in that graph ░░░░░░░░ Refer to being directed ░░░░░░░░ evening intentionally Leaving out ░░░░░░░░ notion that Somebody had ░░░░░░░░ do the Directing and ░░░░░░░░ could that Be Who ░░░░░░░░ that be Who could ░░░░░░░░ as important as This ░░░░░░░░ clearly was to do ░░░░░░░░ directing and it goes ░░░░░░░░ To what you and ░░░░░░░░ were talking About earlier ░░░░░░░░ the hour which Is ░░░░░░░░ to state it flatly ░░░░░░░░ Person who was in ░░░░░░░░ with Roger Stone we ░░░░░░░░ was Donald Trump was ░░░░░░░░ candidate Which is why ░░░░░░░░ graph is so Important ░░░░░░░░ And for everybody out ░░░░░░░░ And I know you ░░░░░░░░ this Dana We ve ░░░░░░░░ this from Corwin Lewandowski ░░░░░░░░ was the one time ░░░░░░░░ campaign manager then He ░░░░░░░░ about it I think ░░░░░░░░ Was even John Berman ░░░░░░░░ the Interview saying Roger ░░░░░░░░ Was like the thorn ░░░░░░░░ their Side He would ░░░░░░░░ it was an Annoyance ░░░░░░░░ those within the Campaign ░░░░░░░░ Roger Stone would Continue ░░░░░░░░ and Donald Trump would ░░░░░░░░ taking the Calls I ░░░░░░░░ glad you brought that ░░░░░░░░ That s a great ░░░░░░░░ That s exhibit a ░░░░░░░░ what we re Discussing ░░░░░░░░ happened We knew realtime ░░░░░░░░ the Campaign it would ░░░░░░░░ People who were around ░░░░░░░░ President because by nature ░░░░░░░░ Likes to know what ░░░░░░░░ are Saying what people ░░░░░░░░ hearing Even people who ░░░░░░░░ has dismissed From his ░░░░░░░░ officially They re not ░░░░░░░░ it s like The ░░░░░░░░ California You can check ░░░░░░░░ but you can t ░░░░░░░░ leave And that is ░░░░░░░░ particularly For people who ░░░░░░░░ t want to be ░░░░░░░░ out of the Trump ░░░░░░░░ And Roger Stone was ░░░░░░░░ person And so that ░░░░░░░░ why that Particular graph ░░░░░░░░ this Indictment is so ░░░░░░░░ and I m glad ░░░░░░░░ you showed our Viewers ░░░░░░░░ again what it said ░░░░░░░░ what s your take ░░░░░░░░ That graph if you ░░░░░░░░ When you read it ░░░░░░░░ think What When you ░░░░░░░░ the word Directed Used ░░░░░░░░ that graph what do ░░░░░░░░ Take from it Yeah ░░░░░░░░ think Dana got it ░░░░░░░░ right There is the ░░░░░░░░ voice which We like ░░░░░░░░ avoid in writing Definitely ░░░░░░░░ legal writing so I ░░░░░░░░ that was deliberate and ░░░░░░░░ suggests there was someone ░░░░░░░░ than the senior official ░░░░░░░░ just want to entertain ░░░░░░░░ of What the alternative ░░░░░░░░ be Right I mean ░░░░░░░░ White House is Continuing ░░░░░░░░ ask us to believe ░░░░░░░░ candidate Trump was so ░░░░░░░░ from what his The ░░░░░░░░ of his own campaign ░░░░░░░░ doing that he had ░░░░░░░░ idea What you know ░░░░░░░░ happening With his Trump ░░░░░░░░ meeting That he had ░░░░░░░░ idea that there Were ░░░░░░░░ people in his Campaign ░░░░░░░░ to Wikileaks I mean ░░░░░░░░ don t think that ░░░░░░░░ Is actually a great ░░░░░░░░ Either that the candidate ░░░░░░░░ Off in LA La ░░░░░░░░ and all these People ░░░░░░░░ having contacts with Russia ░░░░░░░░ Russians and you Know ░░░░░░░░ all of these plans ░░░░░░░░ I think increasingly as ░░░░░░░░ Berman mentioned in his ░░░░░░░░ with Sarah Sanders This ░░░░░░░░ now the sixth person ░░░░░░░░ The campaign that has ░░░░░░░░ Ensnared in Mueller s ░░░░░░░░ They almost have no ░░░░░░░░ but To get to ░░░░░░░░ know the Candidate was ░░░░░░░░ space cadet and Had ░░░░░░░░ idea what was going ░░░░░░░░ Because that s really ░░░░░░░░ only Defense they re ░░░░░░░░ to have Yeah Give ░░░░░░░░ a final thought on ░░░░░░░░ This goes from here ░░░░░░░░ s your biggest question ░░░░░░░░ That comes from this ░░░░░░░░ And what comes next ░░░░░░░░ the big question a ░░░░░░░░ of you have been ░░░░░░░░ About is when did ░░░░░░░░ know and When did ░░░░░░░░ know it To me ░░░░░░░░ question is what did ░░░░░░░░ Bannon know and what ░░░░░░░░ He been hiding from ░░░░░░░░ Steve Bannon said almost ░░░░░░░░ To Congress He was ░░░░░░░░ to testify about A ░░░░░░░░ variety of matters Claiming ░░░░░░░░ privilege He s going ░░░░░░░░ have to do some ░░░░░░░░ in the weeks to ░░░░░░░░ Here we go Happy ░░░░░░░░ everybody Thanks I really ░░░░░░░░ it,
