Unreported. perhaps misstatements on his fs-86, a disclosure form that manafort did not have. thats the backdrop of it. flynn junior is part of the conglam rut of the flynn intel group. the problem, of course, for general flynn is that its his son, so every parent wants to protect their children and therefore they have pressure on them to decide what to do in order to protect their son, and that might mean cooperating. normally we see this in the context of spouses, the husband protecting the wi...

Did not oppose it, went along with it, and perhaps he did that because he wanted to please the boss, also his father-in-law. so it is a question i think that the special counsel is going to try to get to the bottom of because jareds name comes up in a whole bunch of places. he was on air force one when they had to come up with the statement about what occurred at trump tower meeting that they had to revise a few times. he had had all of these repeated meetings with russians to establish a back c...

We all want everything resolved yesterday. this investigation started just in may. white collar investigations can take many months. it may be different from where the investigation lines up. the traditional way to mold the case is to charge lesser players and try to get them to flip on higher-ups. this could be a case against a lesser player. it could be on an unrelated matter. but they are trying to get that person to flip even on other subjects. yes, we will learn a lot once the charges are u...

Russia revolves around, money. >> right. finally, mostly, seeing russia get re1r068ed around the fact people are lying, dissembling and diverting attention away from things which any normal person at any level in the united states government with a top secret sci security clearance would have lost in that minute. should have been called in -- clint, gone through the process numerous times. theres no such thing as an addendum, that process, fs-86 is designed to make sure youre being honest with t...

Companies may have discussed with trump administration officials during and after flynns tenure at the white house meaning discussed these deals. so is that really kind of the principal exposure for michael flynn that he just didnt fill out forms that disclosed it, or is it the actual deals themselves? >> no, the fs-86 in not putting that on there, that is not the principal problem for michael flynn. that will be a tertiary problem at the least. its actually going out and arranging these deals. ...

Wait until the prez reposs repo it? would he have kept flynn otherwise? >> probably. >> he has to protect himself. thats why you cant fire people. throw them to the wolves and they talk. >> what we now know is that flynn wasnt the only one. his son-in-law was also talking to the russians about his a back channel. so much more reporting has come out since the firing of flynn that shows that there were other people who did the same darned thing. >> well, flynn. >> -- forgot a hundred or so things ...

On top of a long back and forth that i didnt read at the time as i did with most e-mails. i quickly reviewed them. i found the relevant message the meeting would occur at 4:00 p.m. at his office. are you comfortable now? you buy his excuses and his reasons at this time? >> yeah, yeah. they really are reasonable explanations. i think you brought up two reasons. this very long form that anyone who gets a security clearance is required to fill out. as a former air force pilot, i had to do that. you...

The deb tank. as well as that conversation he had with the ambassador about setting up a secret back channel to russia. >> these contacts with russian either business people or officials connected to the government in this 11 page statement for the record, kushner says, that when he went to his security parent application, and fs-86, his application was wrongly filled and not complete, and despite media reports, he left off all of his foreign contacts not just russians. he filed an updated form ...

Fairly complicated. but still, he had every -- i assume every accountant, every lawyer at his beck and call. and to not just with of course his financial disclosure, but with his fs-86, the form to fill out to get a security clearance. having to do resubmission after resubmission. it is either remarkably sloppy from a guy who can hire all the help he needs or theres something more nefarious involved here that stuff only gets reported and weve seen this from everybody in the trump administration....

Electronically today, these fs-86. one of the things im told repeat itself in the form is a warning that the failure to disclose information can result in a violation of the false statement statute, criminal statute. so youre constantly being reminded not to forget. but yet he had these lapses in memory time after time. you wonder what -- if he did indeed meet with the fbi agent who took him through his form on maybe more than one occasion, if he made false statements to that agent as well. that...
