been doing for a long time. what you have here is the first guy to say no, i m not capitulating here. i m going to call you on it. i think they didn t anticipate that response. what do you expect having been the spokesperson, what do you expect is the ripple effect through ami or through the head of the national enquirer offices right now? what are they thinking? you have to ask what they were they thinking when they did this. i think on the editorial side, people working there are happy they have jobs because i don t know if you have been paying attention, there s been a lot of layoffs in the media business lately. those there gainfully employed and are happy. as far as the management side, i would think peck earn his team are pretty happy with what s going on. they are in the conversation again whether things get to the point where the immunity thing is thrown out is another story. right now, they ve put themselves back in the conversation and not so much in
there s senators working on the bill like senator ted cruz saying this can happen. marco rubio said it s hard by possible. there s that kind of optimism. but they re not pointing to a specific thing because it all needs to do medicaid, you have to do this, to do this and do this to get a full bill. you can t pick one thing. shepard: we re getting breaking news. i want to pause for that now. we ve just gotten word that general flynn, who is one of the focuses in this investigation, who was fired for lying to the haven t according to the white house who had all of these meeting with the russians that were initially forgotten and fibbed about, he handed over a number of documents to the senate intel committee according to a report we just got. how important is what general flynn hands over will be i want an immunity thing? flynn is critical. he s one of the biggest names in the russian investigation.

martin in self-defense, and he did so justifiably. so the ruling you know, he s found not guilty of the murder of trayvon martin. sshl l essentially it was justifiable killing. if that is the case he is immune under florida law from criminal and civil prosecution. it s an immunity thing that works similar to the way stand your ground can. does that mean they can t file a civil suit? not necessarily. they can file it. they can try it. they can push it. mark o mara and george zimmerman would go in front of a judge and say, look, here s the clause that addresses this. it was a justifiable killing. therefore he should be immune. maybe that harri ghearing fwoei front of that judge. just because i m asking you doesn t mean the family is even contemplating this. don t know that yet. ryan smith, thank you very much. appreciate it. make sure you tune in tonight on hln. vinnie politan talks with the prosecution team from the zimmerman trial. do not miss this. you ll hear their reaction t
