Flynn Or News Today

If the act of obstructing could actually be colluding. does he have a point? >> its a possibility. don, theres so much below the surface that we cant be sure of other than we know the high standards that are necessary to start this kind of investigation, particularly on a president of the united states. that by this time, we know that they knew many of the activities that had taken place during the transition, kushners effort to set up a back channel, flynn talking with the ambassador about -- t...

Russians at all since becoming president. >> i appreciate both of you. thank you. i appreciate it. thank you very much. were going to have much more on our breaking news tonight. plus, while some republicans are criticizing congressman steve king for his white supremacy comments, more are silent. how the republican party got to this point. thats next. what makes this simple salad the best simple salad ever? great tasting, heart-healthy california walnuts. so simple, so good. get the recipes at...

Points of entry in vehicles. but hes not loud and proud about the x-ray machines. thats not his big war. i want more money for detection devices than has ever been given before. he wants the wall because the wall was his simple solution to demonizing who comes across. >> the wall, he believes, is going to save him. without that wall -- i think it was lindsey graham who said it. if he doesnt get that wall, its the end of his presidency. i dont know about that, but i think it certainly does some r...

The firing of james comey? and thats a significant move. im not going to connect me more dots because we obviously dont know where the investigation went. but i will end with this point. a president -- how would a president compromised by the russians behave? and give me any moment in the last two years where trump has behaved differently. thats what i took away from this story. >> so, adam, youre there, right? can i bring you back in? >> sure. >> okay. i want to give the white house response be...

And ignorance and so on. but then what happens to the country after that? is it irreparable? is it something thats going to take generations to overcome because, remember, 50 years ago dr. king, or so, lost his life, right? and how much has changed in 50 years? we still have people who have these views, who are pushing for these views, and who are afraid of diversity in america. i wish we had that picture of the new congress and the new senate, right? if you look at the democratic side and you l...

Comments about legitimate rape, and everybody just stopped and said, this is just so out of bounds, weve got to do something about it. enough. and hes unapologetic about it, and its just a really sad point. but i think it speaks to a larger issue. ive been worried about this nativity, protectionist, isolationist element within the republican party. those are just bad characteristics, bad traits, and i think it can lead at times to some of these times of really ugly -- >> thats why he feels so em...

That clip that you just said with the moment in helsinki. if there are moments in this investigation where people like me wonder is this just so obvious and were looking at the details, we have to also remember helsinki. that moment where the president essentially standing with putin says, you know, im yours. i have no u.s. interests. i only have russian interests, really would be evidence if the investigation is ongoing about the nature and extent of the relationship between trump himself and r...

What do you make of this development? is it significant? >> well, it may have some political significance. im not sure that it has any legal significance. it does indicate that, at the time that mueller was appointed, they werent sure that they had evidence of collusion. but around that time they already knew, michael flynn had been lying to people about his contact with russia. if we are to believe mr. comey, anyway, the president has sought to slow down that investigation of mr. flynn or go ea...

Investigation with a pardon. >> john, do you think the idea of leaving the door open, is that potentially a message to flynn or flynns attorneys that look, you know, doesnt matter what you say to mueller or -- you dont have to cooperate because you can be pardoned. >> given the messages that have been sent out about flynn, i think thats a clear reversal of where theyve been, sort of distancing themself. he certain hi did nsimplcertais today. so yeah, its message. >> i was talking with congressma...

Obviously, a president has unique powers. one of his almost uncontestable powers is his pardon power. but if he did it in a way that obstructed justice, the congress could certainly impeach him for it. and it would be very conspicuous if he interrupted this investigation with a pardon. >> john, do you think the idea of leaving the door open, is that potentially a message to flynn or flynns attorneys that look, you know, doesnt matter what you say to mueller or -- you dont have to cooperate becau...
