Mueller would keep to himself. there may be other things he hands off like more manafort items that deal with finance for other people but i think this is a sign that we are nearing the end. >> as a procedural matter, certain parts of the troeb could wrap up and others could continue, berit. i have to tell you, you are far more savvy than i, i didnt expect a lot of resdakzs in this. we know everything he said. and hes cooperated with us, so this is what we think our recommendation for sentencing...

Trial. now its sentencing. you should tell us as much as possible or tell the court at least because youre trying to justify your recommendation. so if its just about him, why redact anything? >> so it says its done with respect to general flynn but not necessarily respect to other people who he might have prevented information about. just if you take this out of this context and think about some other investigation -- i mean i was a prosecutor for 20 years before i was at the national security ...

Document partially public that just has redactions. >> help me understand why because the common sense thought is, well, if this is for his sentencing, that means its all done. trials over. he pleaded, so there was no trial. now its sentencing. you should tell us as much as possible or tell the court at least because youre trying to justify your recommendation. so if its just about him, why redact anything? >> so it says its done with respect to general flynn but not necessarily respect to other...

Sensitive information about, the government is seeking to partially seal the addendum and has files publicly a redacted version of the document that excludes the sensitive information. so whos going to see the unredacted version? the judge? who else? >> thats right. the judge certainly has it. he has this in his possession, and thats important because the judge is the one thats going to decide ultimately the sentence. the special counsel here is saying that they would be fine if michael flynn di...
