Folks. there are a whole host of potential felonies that i think michael flynn could conceivably face. i dont think we could know what mueller has until some of these cases go to trial. even the indictment, if there is an indictment, isnt going to tell us everything. but theres one real clue to this, i think, and that was the president asking james comey before he fired him as fbi director to go easy on mike flynn. you know, donald trump is not someone famous for his loyalty to anyone but his fa...

About the crowd size. the president turned the conversation to whether mr. comey would pledge his loyalty to him. mr. comey declined to make that pledge, and has recounted to others he told mr. trump he would always be honest with him. but that he was not reliable in the conventional political sense. so i have to ask you, david axelrod, jake tapper also reporting on this loyalty factor, what does that tell you about what trumps approach is to this investigation, in the earliest days of his presi...

Always be honest with him, that he was not reliable in the conventional political sense. so i have to ask you, jake tapper is also reporting on this loyalty factor. what does that tell you about what trumps approach is to this investigation in the earliest days of his presidency? >> well, look, i think it speaks more broadly to trumps approach to institutions generally. he thinks that everyone in the government should be subservient to him, that everyone should owe their loyalty to him. thats no...
