erdogan, the turkish president, was desperately hoping to avoid. erdogan, the turkish president, offered flynn upwards of $15 million during the presidential transition in december to use his upcoming position as national security adviser to return his top political rival from the u.s. to turkey, that s the guy in pennsylvania, and also to see that reza zarrab s case was dropped. so the russia investigation still appears to be mostly about russia. the mike flynn part of the russia investigation appears to be partly about russia. but it also appears to be partly about this other foreign country. how unusual is it for prosecutors to spring a guy out of jail, right before he s about to go on trial? so they can instead flip him for some other case? does this happen? and we mere mortals just don t know about it? is this a normal thing in law enforcement? and also, in this case, if they have flipped this guy, what does he potentially know?
because shopping small makes a big difference. so, on november 25th get up, get out, and shop small. accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn t a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i m tom steyer, and like you, i m a citizen who knows it s up to us to do something. it s why i m funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who s mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility
the time, 2017 is not 20 of. it is just a different time and maybe, maybe i can be somebody s jackie spear and they can tell their story in realtime and not wait. all right. joining us now, donna edwards, former democratic congresswoman of maryland and sere your fellow at the center for justice, joyce vance, former u.s. attorney for the northern district of alabama an professor at university of alabama law school and char ri psychs, author of how the right lost its mind. and msnbc contributor. we re getting a lot of reaction to all of this but, donna, there s almost a bigger thing going on. rachel was talking about it and certainly in the halls of power, the halls of commerce and government we are hearing more and more of these things in the case of tweeden, inspired by jackie spear coming forward.
there is not going to be a prosecuti prosecution. legally, what do you think is cropping up? when prosecutors have multiple potential victims, they look to try to the strongest case first, it creates an at months of belief. it happened opposite here. they claimed there is a forgery of the infamous yearbook involved. because he supposedly wrote an inscription in her yearbook. the signatures were relevant. that s why we have this on your screen. he has the d.a. thing. what do you make of that, by the way? he had a clerk when he was a judge in the divorce part and his initials were d.a. he would put d.a. on the order. nelson appeared in front of him as a litigant in the divorce
matches. they testify in court all the time. but i m betting just looking at this handwriting, whoever wrote both of them sort of was trying to imitate the other signature, so i m betting you ll see battling experts. one will say it s legitimate. the other will say the it s a forged cig sigonnature on the we rebook, but there s a chemical test that can be done of ink. you can derl the age of an ink in many cases. the irs loves this because if you try to back date your receipts, they ll know what the date of the ink was. so i m betting that they ll be able to data ink on the yearbook and establish whether that was made well after the graduation or at the time. there s one other thing, also. judge moore s statement that he cannot comment anymore because he s filed a civil case. by the way, i think we should just note. if he wanted to talk to people, he d put something out there. he s sending a letter to sean
