Report anything we see that is different, that doesnt make sense, thats an aberration that could help us prevent these mass tragedies. thank you all. appreciate it. >> you heard the broward county sheriff there, governor tim scott as well. back now with our panel. james galliano, philip mudd, cedric alexander, juliette kayyem. excuse me. governor rick scott, i said. jim, its interesting. the governor was asked point blank about gun control essentially. he avoided it once, then gave the answer wh...

Different than what the team learned else where. that duration of the interview is really important. >> philip, your answer has been shockingly helpful. it tees up the next thing that the president said that i think is highly instructive. well call it exhibit a of what the risk and the potential reward is in an interview like this. do we have the sound ready of what he said about mccabe? listen to this. >> i would do it under oath, yeah. >> do you trust the fbi? >> well, were going to see. i mea...

Set you free? when he is, in the event, ultimately cleared in this investigation and he has sat down, and he has faced the questions, thats what will give the president the opportunity to wave his success and his exoneration in the face of all his critics. but there is a big "if" in there because the president said something else today that is a prime example of what he does not want to happen when bob mueller is sitting across from him. now, theres a lot of political spin out there, i know. two...

The team will not let that happen. thats why the time is so significant. if he riffs for 15 minutes, theyre going to come back and say, mr. president, that wasnt the question. the question was, did anybody ever discuss with you the meeting with the russian lawyer last june? yes or no? >> all right. im out of time but just quick show of hands. who thinks well ever get to see a interrupt or any video of this interview? >> 100% you will. >> i think transcript, not video. >> philip? >> i would say t...

Tweets? >> well, right. you saw -- we did a story back in december that mccabe was planning to retire in march, and almost immediately after that story posted, the president was tweeting angrily about mccabe. so its clearly someone that -- were told that trump often just in conversation in the white house criticizes mccabe, calls him a democrat, says he doesnt trust him, things like that. >> and has mccabe commented for this story at all? >> no. the fbi declined to comment. mccabe, as much as th...

Technically works for, who they voted for, would they feel obligated to answer? >> i wouldnt. >> sorry, this is for asha. >> okay. >> oh. it would be an incredibly uncomfortable question to answer because your vote is private, as philip has said. you know, anderson, what strikes me about this conversation is that it is evocative of the loyalty test that the president allegedly gave comey in his private dinner conversation. and it kind of goes to a sense that he believes that the people who are w...

Has hey conflict of interest. >> so mueller looking into these meetings, what does that tell you about the organization and where its going, philip? >> this is pretty straightforward. when you start this investigation you start from the outside of the you talk to the lower level people to determine what they know about the higher level people. when you go into the more senior people in the white house, for example, conversations with the individuals mueller will speak with in the next week or tw...

>> explosive allegations against michael flynn and his son. i want to talk more about this with cnn counterterrorism analyst philip mudd. hello to both of you. good to have you on. first things first here, is this kidnapping? >> i dont think so. i think the media focus has been on a big question, which is whether general flynn participated in a conversation with the turks about kidnapping a turkish cleric here in the united states. going behind the scenes, don, i think the questions are more c...

Low-key, ordinary evil doing tremendous damage to so many people. so many lives have been wasted for nothing. >> thank you for coming in. tell your son we said hello. >> thanks for having me. hope it was under different circumstances. >> lets discuss the investigation now and what weve learned so far. hes a co agent of agent storm, and also philip mudd, a senior terrorism official. what a harrowing story weve heard this evening. 29 years old, came to the united states in 2010. why is this signif...
