Page 37 - Charging Document News Today

January, where we got some indication about what he had been involved in. and then sort of the middle part of january when there were false statements that started coming out of the white house based on misreprese misrepresenttations he mad made to people there. >> she was fired five days after first wash warning the white house, and flynn was allowed to stay on another two weeks, even though the white house knew flynn was lying about russian contacts. getting back to the underlying conduct, it ...

Hes famously not loyal to anybody, right, except michael flynn. the whole reason that he fired fbi director comey was because comey wouldnt call off the investigation on michael flynn. so flynn clearly knows something about donald trump that donald trump does not want out there. now flynn is going to sit down with 16 of the countrys best prosecutors, even more fbi agents, for hours and hours, days and days, spilling his guts. >> frank, let me get back to you about speculation here. everybody agr...

The trump family but that did not give her the authority to say, yes, talk to kislyak. you need to do this. >> the reporting that we have about the meeting a day or two after the election when donald trump went to washington, d.c., and he met with president obama and we all saw that image and it was sort of sinking in for everyone that this was what was happening, president obama to president trump. and the reporting we have of that meeting is that president obama told trump two things, basicall...

So mueller is peeling the onion back. were getting some answers to some questions and a lot bigger ones are still outstanding and now have been presented for the public to consider. why was the charging document just one charge? because we learned today explicitly that flynn is cooperating with the prosecutor and has more to say. so bigger fish down the road. thats the presumption that we can reach. why was president flynn trying to get the fbi director -- >> shepard: general flynn. >> why was t...

Phone calls with sergey kislyak? why were such efforts taken to deceive and cover up during that key window period during the transition? >> what does this mean for semifrequent guest carter page? >> every day hes not in a charging document, carter page has to feel pretty satisfied and happy. he has done a lot of talking. he hasnt been represented by particularly forceful legal counsel. he talks about people he consults with. the fact of the matter is, george papadopoulos pleaded guilty and kaer...

And the lies about it. i remember on air that night -- i remember being in a meeting where they were telling these conflicting stories. they called him to wish him merry christmas. he did that four times? four times he called him for that? it was a manifestly lie from the beginni beginning. thats the first flick of the domino that brought us here. we dont know why they were lying that day. we dont know the content of that call in all its glory and the reason they were so worried about telling th...

So many of these people about their knowledge of any relationship with the russians, is just false. and so what flynn is going to be able to do is to provide the additional information, clearly, to mueller, that helps this investigation to get right to the bottom of what this trump operation knew and when they knew it and potentially what the president knew. and when he knew it. >> all right. senator, stand by for us. cnn actually has new reporting in this charging document, flynn spoke to a ver...

Released today is bob mueller has his tentacles into michael flynn and what we learned is especially interesting. flynn claims he was just following orders. of course, that raises the question, who was giving these orders? exactly who was calling the shots? was it jared kushner? certainly all roads lead to jared. he seems to be the leading transition official mentioned in the charging document today. but how high does this go? does this go above jared kushner even? we know you dont make a plea d...

These facts may take him. >> its now clear that a number of the trump transition team members, this is whats clear in the charging document that seems to be a warning to those folks for mueller. when flynn talked to the sienio official of the transsaition th senior member was with, quote, with other senior members of the transition team at the mar-a-lrktsmar-a mar-a-lago resort. thats mueller putting them on notice, im not buying this narrative that flynn was going rogue and doing this on his ow...

More information on people, perhaps involved in a cover-up or obstruction or a violation of the logan act or whatever theory that bob mueller is moving forward on. the hearing that took place today is a very simple hearing. its just to come forward and say yes, based on this indictment, which is basically a page and a half charging document, its an information indictment, that, you know, i did those things. the prosecutor has to set out how they believe the government would prove that and why, i...
