when there s a joint statement from chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, that s not a joint statement. how long do you think you ll have to wait for that? a long time. we have had obviously a very busy day. nonstop breaking news. it s 11:00 a.m. out west. 2:00 on the east. we re continuing to follow all of these new developments including the 13th device found in california. the department of justice will hold a press conference where we hope to learn more details about this suspect. the man under arrest is from florida just to recap here. he s identified as 56-year-old cesar sayoc junior.

he never made the agreement. i think he knew he was looking at jail time. it was how much he could shave off. and i think that s what we re beginning to get some idea at. i would throw this question to chuck, is one of the central key differences here between these two, between the flynn and cohen case, is that flynn cooperated immediately, early, right out of the gate and often. and that cohen was late? one of the big differences here is between early cooperation and late cooperation? flynn was immediate, it was fullsome, it was timely and it was therefore substantial. cohen was later and less. look, to the earlier point about tension, there s always tension. doj is a big family, but in the end it s a family and they re going to reach one point of view, it s articulated in this document. i m going to thank joyce, chuck, ken, the reverend.
