Up and say wait a second, mr. president, michael flynn told us he wasnt ambushed, you shouldnt be saying this and sarah sanders shouldnt be saying this from the press room? >> i dont think so. i think its pretty clear that people arent -- at least republicans arent interested in particularly challenging this white house and thats why i think that sarah sanders can keep doubling down on these kinds of things, because theres no accountability. and im totally serious when i say im glad you can stil...

Unfortunate. the president is there in his official capacity to uphold the law. i think uses those kinds of terms which shall i say are not typically coming out of any white house is unwise. >> unwise politically or factually? >> unwise in his duties to enforce the law and to be an example we have a rule of law country. were not russia. we saw that today with the checks and balances of judge sullivan. i do think -- i will say this, i think judge sullivan got carried away, but hes a wise man. he ...

And today flynn reaffirmed it. he did not complain, as the administration has, about fbi entrapment, an argument by the way that general flynn rejected when asked by the judge today and his attorneys. but if that werent drama enough judge sullivan rebuked flynn saying with respect to other charges, "arguably you sold your country out." now, he later walked that back, and he put off sentencing until march. so quite a day. not a good one for claiming anyone claiming, as the white house did, that f...

And judge sullivan said, wait a second, this guy should not get away with lying to the fbi, given who he is, given the stakes here, and robert mueller shouldnt be so quick to reward him for cooperating, given the magnitude of his crimes. now, it sounds to me like at the end of the day hes not going to get jail time, but everybody minimizing his crime, both mueller and his own lawyers, who made a terrible mistake by saying, well, you know, he wasnt really prepared and, you know, making excuses ab...

None of them understood the basic moral outrage that judge sullivan was going to bring to the proceedings. >> he may ultimately get no jail time, but judge sullivan all but told us that if he were to sentence michael flynn today he would have given him jail time. he didnt do it but he may have. you heard colonel peters earlier, who sound equally disgusted as judge sullivan told the world, that he was today. are you disgusted by michael flynns behavior lying to the fbi? >> you know, if you take m...

Thats not what happened. so what did happen? >> i think those of us who have been following these stories, we perhaps have become too cynical. we have become used to the fact that, well, of course people around donald trump lie, of course they get rewarded for cooperating by robert mueller. and judge sullivan, who is not involved in this day to day, said wait a second, this guy should not get away with lying to the fbi given who he is, given his background, given the stakes here, and robert muel...

Boy. mike was a brilliant soldier. he did terrific work in afghanistan and iraq. theres no taking that away from him. he can be proud of that. but he needs to be ashamed of what he did afterward and he needs to be punished for. and theres a saying in the military which i will clean up for the television audience. one aw shucks cancels 100 atta boys. >> colonel ralph peters, i appreciate you being with us. and thank you for cleaning it up. a bit more on judge sullivans background. hes been appoin...

Shut down the foundation. >> that only happens when a state attorney general concludes that there has been a total absence of governance, that it cannot be retrieved, that there is no public good that would be served by continuing the life of the foundation. >> morocco owens, norm eisen, thank you for being with us. lets check in with chris cuomo for cuomo prime time. >> a good conversation. it goes a step further. not only is trump settling, shuddering, he may agree to be shunned. one of the th...

Judge sullivan was looking at this much differently than people have on television and elsewhere. jeffrey toobin, kirsten powers, rick santorum, thank you very much. next stop at the white house. more on how this is playing out there. later the end of president trumps charity and some of the truly disgusting al waigss surrounding it.

To you a lot. usually in the morning not at night. nice to see you without the bags under my eyes. >> after sunset. ? yes, after sunset. you have not seen any evidence of collusion yet. i also know, which maybe the president has missed, youve also said there may be a lot that you havent seen. >> absolutely. >> and youve also said that robert mueller is a man of high integrity and you trust him to conduct a thorough investigation. >> yes. and i havent changed my position. no, ive known john, as i...
