>>> JOHN BRENNAN SAYS THERE WAS DEFINITELY COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA
AND THE ONLY REMAINING QUESTION
WAS DID THAT COLLUSION FIT THE
LEGAL DEFINITION OF CRIMINAL
CONSPIRACY.
CONSPIRACY. THE RUSSIANS WERE CAUGHT WORKING
TO HURT HILLARY CLINTON’S
CANDIDACY AND HELP DONALD
TRUMP’S CANDIDACY.
TRUMP’S CANDIDACY. AND DONALD TRUMP WHO CALLED A
BLACK WOMAN A DOG THIS WEEK
STILL HAS NEVER SAID A NEGATIVE
WORD ABOUT VLADIMIR PUTIN, WHICH
HAS SURELY LEFT ROBERT MUELLER
WONDERING WHETHER VLADIMIR PAW
TIN HAS SOMETHING ON DONALD
TRUMP, AS EVERYONE HAS WOND RERE
AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER.
>> SIR, DO YOU -- DOES THE
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT HAVE ANY
COMPROMISING MATERIAL ON
PRESIDENT TRUMP OR HIS FAMILIAR
HI?
HI? >> I DID HEARD THESE RUMORS THAT
WE ALLEGEDLY CHEKTOLLECTED
COMPROMISING MATERIAL ON
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP. WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS IN
MOSCOW BACK THEN, I DIDN’T EVEN
KNOW THAT HE WAS IN MOSCOW.
PLEASE DISREGARD THESE ISSUES
AND DON’T THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN.
>> IF THEY HAD IT, IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN OUT LONG AGO.
>> VLADIMIR PUTIN DIDN’T EVEN
BOTHER TO SAY, NO, WE DO NOT
HAVE ANY COMPROMISING MATERIAL
ON DONALD TRUMP.
HE JUST ORDERED THE PRESS TO
STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.
TODAY JOHN BRENNAN REFERRED TO
DONALD TRUMP, THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
AND THE TRUMP BUSINESSES AS
TRUMP INCORPORATED.
TRUMP INCORPORATED. PROBABLY WITH THE INTENTIONAL
ECHO OF THE CRIMINAL GANGS THAT
THE NEWS MEDIA USED TO CALL
MURDER INCORPORATED.
MURDER INCORPORATED. CRAIG UNGER CALLS IT THE HOUSE
OF TRUMP.
OF TRUMP. THE BOOK DESCRIBES WHAT HE CALLS
THE GREATEST INTELLIGENCE
OPERATION OF OUR TIME.
THE BOOK TELLS HOW THE RUSSIAN
GOVERNMENT TARGETED AND
COMPROMISED DONALD TRUMP FOR
OVER 30 YEARS BY USE TRUMP REAL
ESTATE AS A WAY TO LAUNDER
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR THE
RUSSIAN MAFIA.
RUSSIAN MAFIA. JOINING US NOW IS GREG UNGER.
JOHN BRENNAN SAYS OF COURSE
THERE WAS COLLUSION.
OF COURSE THERE WAS.
AND WE HAVE ALL SEEN ENOUGH TO
UNDERSTAND EVEN WHAT THE CIA
DIRECTOR MEANS WHEN HE SAYS
THAT.
THAT. JOHN BRENNAN KNOWS MORE THAN WE
KNOW.
KNOW. DOES IT MEET THE LEGAL STANDARD.
BASED ON YOUR STUDY OF THE HOUSE
OF TRUMP, AS YOU CALL IT, OVER
ALL OF THESE YEARS, WHAT DO YOU
THINK ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT
THINGS THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR IS
FINDING IN THE RUSSIAN
CONNECTIONS?
CONNECTIONS? >> WELL, I WENT BACK TO -- I
THINK THIS IS REALLY THE
GREATEST INTELLIGENCE OPERATION
OF OUR LIFETIME AND ENDED UP
WITH THE RUSSIANS.
I THINK BRENNAN IS RIGHT.
>> AND MOST SUCCESSFUL?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. IT INSTALLED A RUSSIAN ASSET IN
THE WHITE HOUSE WITHOUT FIRING A
SINGLE SHOT.
SINGLE SHOT. SO I WENT BACK TO THE BEGINNING,
AND I WANTED TO SEE HOW AND WHY
THIS BEGAN.
THIS BEGAN. I ENDED UP GOING ALL THE WAY
BACK TO 1984 WHEN A RUSSIAN MET
WITH TRUMP IN TRUMP TOWER.
HE BOUGHT FIVE CONDOS AND CAME
UP WITH $6 MILLION CASH.
THAT’S THE EQUIVALENT OF $15
MILLION TODAY.
MILLION TODAY. THAT WAS LAUNDERING MONEY FOR
THE RUSSIAN MAFIA.
IF YOU LOOK AT TRUMP’S CAREER,
HE’S DONE THAT AT LEAST 1,300
TIMES.
TIMES. BY THAT I MEAN THAT HE’S SELLING
CONDOS TO ANONYMOUS CORPORATIONS
IN ALL CASH PURCHASES.
SO I BELIEVE HE’S BEEN WORKING
WITH THE RUSSIAN MAFIA
LAUNDERING THEIR MONEY THROUGH
HIS REAL ESTATE FOR AT LEAST 34
YEARS.
YEARS. >> BUT WOULD IT BE -- IT’S
UNLIKELY THAT EVERY ONE OF THOSE
TRANSACTIONS INVOLVED A RUSSIAN.
IT IS JUST THAT THEY INVOLVED
CASH, WHICH IS PRETTY PECULIAR.
>> WE ALSO KNOW THAT A VERY HIGH
PROPORTION OF BUYERS WERE
RUSSIANS.
RUSSIANS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU GO TO THE
TRUMP WORLD TOWER, THERE ARE
CERTAIN FLOORS THAT ARE ALMOST
ENTIRELY RUSSIAN.
ENTIRELY RUSSIAN. ABOUT A THIRD OF THE CONDOS SOLD
IN FLORIDA FOR THE TRUMP TOWERS,
THEY WERE RUSSIANS.
IT HAPPENS ALL OVER THE WORLD IN
PANAMA TRUMP PROPERTIES.
IT’S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS.
THEY MADE HIS CAREER.
THEY OWN HIM.
HE WAS $4 BILLION IN DEBT AFTER
HIS ATLANTIC CITY FIASCO.
HE FILED FOR SIX BANKRUPTCIES.
NO ONE THAT’S $4 BILLION IN DEBT
HAS A POLITICAL CAREER AND THEY
MADE HIM RICH AGAIN.
>> WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT THEY
STUDY AND TRY TO AMPLIFY?
>> I THINK HIS RELATIONSHIP TO
THE RUSSIAN MAFIA IS
EXTRAORDINARY.
EXTRAORDINARY. AND IT IS CLEAR.
LISA PAGE, WHO WAS ONE OF THE 12
PEOPLE WHO WAS IN BUDAPEST.
HE WAS INVESTIGATING THE RUSSIAN
MAFIA THERE.
MAFIA THERE. WHEN SHE WAS THROWN OFF THE
MUELLER PROBE, I SAW THAT IN A
VERY DIFFERENT WAY THAT, I MEAN,
IT RAISED A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
WERE THEY GOING TO PURSUE
TRUMP’S TIES TO THE RUSSIAN
MAFIA OR NOT.
>> AND WHEN THE SPECIAL
PROSECUTOR IS LOOKING AT PAUL
MANAFORT AND PRESUMABLY IF HE
GETS A GUILTY IN ONE OF THESE
TRIALS BASICALLY OFFERING PAUL
MANAFORT SOME OPPORTUNITY TO
TESTIFY TO GET A LOWER PRISON
SENTENCE, IS THERE SOMETHING YOU
BELIEVE PAUL MANAFORT WOULD BE
ABLE TO REVEAL ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP’S RELATIONSHIP TO
RUSSIANS?
RUSSIANS? >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. MANAFORT IS AN ABSOLUTELY KEY
FIGURE IN ALL OF THIS.
IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT HE WAS DOING
IN UKRAINE, IT WAS A DRY RUN FOR
THE 2016 OPERATION IN OUR
ELECTION.
ELECTION. AND HE WAS HIRED BY THE -- HE
WAS REPRESENTING PRESIDENT -- A
PUTIN PUPPET.
PUTIN PUPPET. HE HAS BEEN DECLARED A TRAITOR
TO UKRAINE AND FLED TO MOSCOW.
AND MANAFORT PUT HIM IN POWER,
ESSENTIALLY TO SUSTAIN
