Implication there? what is the lasting impact? >> i think the lasting impact of this is very dangerous, is how i would put it. essentially the fed has worked over the decades, and this is a multi-decade project to establish credibility and show they are politically independent and not swayed by the day-to-day considerations, politics of the next upcoming election, and that is critically important for price stability and growth. if you want to look at a useful counter example, look at places like...

Thats certainly a reasonable implication. when people lie about things theyre not supposed to do. that is the best explanation i can come up with. but certainly michael flynns behavior when he was talking to the fbi is deeply inexplicable. >> kirsten, id like to say i was surprised -- >> jeffrey -- >> go ahead, kirsten. >> im just wondering, though, isnt it possible that theyre lying in the hopes that theyre going to get pardoned by donald trump? by trying to cover up for him. >> well, i dont th...

Quote, this is directed to either government counsel or defense counsel. i made a statement about mr. flynn acting as a foreign agent while serving in the white house. i may have misspoken. does that need to be corrected? mr. van grack, the prosecutor, yes, your honor, that would be correct, which is that the conduct ended i believe in mid-november 2016. the judge, all right. thats what i thought. and i felt terrible about that. i just want the record clear on that. you agree with that, counsel?...

Conduct ended, i believe, in mid-november, 2016. the judge, all right. thats what i thought. and i felt terrible about that. i just want the record clear on that. you agree with that, counsel? mr. kelner for the defense, yes, your honor. so, the judge feels terrible, he says, about saying that mike flynn was an unregistered agent of a foreign power while he was serving as national security adviser in the white house. he confers with prosecutors to say, i was mistaken on that, right? prosecutors,...

American people. as someone who cares about the rule of law, it is manipulating the american people to believe the justice system is somehow construct. >> for people who are just funifu tuning in with michael flynn, he sentence had been delayed. he expected to roll in, have a conversation, would hear from the judge, this judge was sentence him to zero jail time, hes been cooperating, but the judge said not so fast. can you just bring us up to speed on that. >> josh alluded to the fact the kiss o...

This is why this thing is so weird, strange. >> weird to him, but perhaps central to robert muellers investigation, and significant in that giuliani allows for the possibility of president through roger stone and wikileaks being party to or aware of some sort of coordination with russia. giuliani also let this slip about how much longer than wed known the pursuit of business with moscow went on in 2016. >> did donald trump know that michael cohen was pursuing the trump tower in moscow into the s...

>> keeping them honest, he did lie about this. weve been reporting for weeks efforts in russia continued at least until the republican convention in july. but november, thats new. so is giulianis implication that some of what the president has been telling the public may not have been the whole truth. >> the president is not under oath and the president is trying the best he can to remember what happened back at the time he was the busiest man in the world. and i was with him most of that time. ...

One of the things i think that really is a takeaway from edwards as it relates to these set of facts were talking about is one of the things that judge eagles ruled in the edwards case related to this notion of what a contribution is under law. as you have talked about before, it relates to this idea of what was the purpose behind the money itself thats at issue. in the edwards case, the question came up of whether or not the money that was, again, at issue in this case had to be the purpose for...

It while they were also working at high-level jobs in intelligence inside the u.s. government. and somehow mike flynn, who is person "a" in this indictment, and who the indictment spells out was pretty clearly the other big part of this scheme, somehow mike flynn emerges from this as an unindicted co-conspirator who is not being charged and who is not facing any jail time for this scheme whatsoever. and presumably that is because mike flynns cooperation is what led to this indictment today. but ...
