I mean i know you got to bring up obama every time got to bring up be else. with us us can t really defend it null a fairness you can t defend what the president of the united states just said. i don t care. i don t care what he says to the russian to the russians. i mean. okay. he is the president of the united states. if he wants to say that, barack obama wants to say whatever if george bush says i looked in his whos and thought he was say it. i don t know what he would do that you would not defend i mean you re a loyal guy. i think that s speaks well of you. anderson. this is a offend willing eastern elite media sense abilities right here in america they ll think yeah the fbi director was a nut job and worse. he is not wrong some people do think that i got a lot of reader merl from supporter of trump said that s absolutely true. i lot go. thank you maggie. i also got emails from long-term republican officials in washington who have worked with senators and so for
Michael flynn mount up, the answer to that question more and more is, boy, what else does he know and know? and by the way, it s quite possible i don t have any particular insight into the fbi investigation. it s quite possible he s a target of that investigation. if that is possible or certainly if that is true, there s no way congress should grant him immunity. and as you know, anderson, immunity is grant granted when a proffer is made and congress gets comfortable there s a big fish out there to be gotten. obviously, this raises some very serious questions here. but, no, at this point unless there s a good reason to grant him immunity, it s unlikely it would happen. congressman himes, i appreciate your time. thank you very much. one has to wonder what s the mood like in the air force one right now.
That let of course as you know to flynn s firing as trump s first national security adviser. anderson, we have reached out to both flynn s lawyers who has declined to comment. and the white house which said this. we are confident that when these inquiries are complete there will be no evidence to support any collusion between the campaign and russia. top former obama intelligence officials and members of congress briefed on the matter have all said the same thing. pamela we re also learning as i understand the first time details about flynn s conversation was the russians. that s right. one major concern was the subject of conversations between flynn and kizlyak that took place shortly after president obama slapped new sanctions and russia for meddling in the u.s. election. sources tell me colleague jim sciutto that flynn told kizlyak that the trump administration would look look favorably upon a decision by russia to hold off and retaliate wg its own sanctions as you know the next
American people did when the president did that interview with nbc and was privy to classified information according to earlier reporting this week. when you see this from the intelligence background what goes through your mind? well i liked your comment earlier anderson. i think you d have been a case officer if you wanted to be. this is something russians usually have to recruit agents for inside white house to try to get secrets how about who doesn t like who who the president is mad at. just interrupt this is actually what cia officers try to recite agents for to find out what s happening inside the internal workings in putin he is a office this is what russians dsh this is what cia officers and intelligence officers do overseas in recruiting people this is the information they want. every single intelligence service in the world i think probably has number one on its list of things to find out about is find out the plans and intentions of x leader in whatever country i
This you know the you could look at the appointment of special counsel as almost an opportunity for this president to like say you know what that s the investigation it s ongoing. focusing on my agenda but here we are. anderson it was an opportunity for him to do that especially because things moved so fast these days he could have done it that but he can t stop talking about it because as you know when he field personally aggrieved he fakes 80s on something obsesses about it and per sever 80s on it it becomes cyclely and can t stop bach if incredible reporting thanks very much reaction from cnn sahr are murray at the white house. the president left for a 14 hour trip just the story break i ll say again cannot imagine what s going on inside that plane right now. is any information come out taufrl from air force one. look matt rosenberg pointed out we would all love to know what the discussions are like on the plane. i have to imagine the president is doing more prevent ventin
We ve seen a pattern throughout mr. trump s successful campaign. he tries to demonize and distract. and this is one of the latest things here. but so far he or his aides have not provided any evidence that millions of people voted illegally. those tweets have also gotten some criticism from a politically ally of his, right? they have. in fact several republicans we talked to today on capitol hill didn t want to talk about this at all, the flag-burning thing in particular. was something no republican wanted to talk about. but newt gingrich has been a die hard support over donald trump. and he did ab interview with susan paige of usa today this evening or this afternoon and he said something that was very interesting. he said the president of the united states shouldn t be randomly tweeting without having someone else checking it out. you wonder who else hooesz doing. gingrich called it his biggest mistake so far in the three weeks since he s been elected
The company tweeted tonight we are pleased to reach a deal with president elect trump and vice president elect pence to keep jobs in indy. in clearly something trump talked about on the campaign trail and could rightly say look i made a difference here. if true it is great. terrific. let s see the details. i do think we have a right to check the details. because sometimes mr. trump sometimes gets a little over his ski tips. but if true this would be an excellent example. it is a tweet from carrier themselves. if true this is terrific and how the bully pulpit ought to be used. i think that is great. if you are beating up on a big corporation and you are the president that is kind of what people want to see. and i d like to see more of that and a little less of beating up on reporters or college kids or the other things. if this is true i want to know the carrots and the sticks you referred to earlier in the show.
Please send our way. full-time journalist here. still working. that he is. he joins me. did president elect trump respondent to your tweet, jeff? no anderson, mr. trump did not respond to that tweet but thousands of his followers did. and they believe him when he says that there was a lot of voter fraud that happened in the election. but, you know, this is not about us. this is about looking for this evidence of wide spread voter fraud. and we re talking wide spread. he said millions of people voted illegally. if not for them he would have won the popular vote and it seems to me that is what this is all about here. sort of day by day the popular vote, the tally is increasing slightly. hillary clinton is up by just over 2 million. and that is agitating, i m told by people who have spoken to transition officials and the president elect. and that is one of the things behind this. but i think it gets to a larger point as well. the pattern is interesting.
Incredible. yeah and you hit it on the head, anderson. there is a difference between being a co-conspirator and a witness. that s the difference. yeah, that s exactly it. it s incredible. hopefully somebody who saw something will come forward. because if people don t report crimes, people don t admit what they saw and tell the police things don t get solved. that s, that is part of the problem. yeah it is part of the problem. and in this case we have got some really good leads at this point. but you know it s as you said just incredible that we re not getting cooperation from the individual who we know can probably put this thing over the top very easily. to the parents in the neighborhood, kids teenagers, over the weekend were killed parents hatch genuine concerns about the safety of their kids. what is your message to them? can you really tell them that they re safe? my message is we have got a work to do. we made improvements.
Questions. at the time i made the decision not to prosecute him, i knew this opportunity would present itself in the case. i knew he would have to answer questions under oath that he didn t have to answer me. that s interesting. i had not realized that. bruce castor appreciate you being here tonight. a lot more to talk with o mara danny sevalis, and sunny hostin former federal prosecutor joining us on the phone. what is your take of what mr. castor had to say and the revelations bill cosby gave in this deposition? well it certainly is one of the frustrations, anderson, that we have as prosecuors. it is often times not what happened but what you can prove. i think what we heard from mr. castor was, he suspected that she was telling the truth. often times you know that someone is telling the truth. but you have got to prove it up. prove it up with blood evidence. you have to prove it up with
