Stt Plea News Today

Counsel investigators. according to a source familiar with that meeting who told me focused entirely on michael flynn and what jared kushner knew about the meetings and interactions between flynn and russian officials including the ambassador. where is kushners exposure on this? >> well, kushner was in some of these same meetings with the russian ambassador. i think the charge that flynn is pleading guilty today is it relating to a phone call he had with kislyakislyak. but the fact that we expec...

Courtroom here on our screen which is admitting the lies. the rest of the space which is the case bob mueller and the investigators are building, is why did you lie about this? if this was normal planning or diplomacy or there were no other illicit or problematic thing, then why not tell the fbi the direction of american foreign policy. that can happen diplomatically. what you outline and what sally yates testified under oath about is there was something else beyond simply the discussion. what w...

Charged with a felony unless its approved by a grand jury, then there is an indictment. well, in this case whats filed is something called an information, and when we get an information we know that means there is a guilty plea. so thats what hes going to dpo, hes going to plea guilty in court with confidence, this wouldnt have been filed unless his lawyers and prosecutors for robert mueller had reached this agreement. now what does it mean? it means several things. number one, it means that the...

Investigation inside the white house. we are expecting this plea in ha short time. a guilty plea on what plin actually said to the fbi. did he mislead the fbi? thats what he appears to pleading guilty too. i think in general we should take a step back and say the posture for the white house for the last two months has been one of cooperation, they have been very public about signaling to the public at large they are willing to cooperate with the mueller investigation. ty cobb the presidents lawy...

Plea is doing so understanding the consequences and doing it completely voluntarily. basically so that that person can never later try to appeal saying i didnt know what i was doing. so the judge will, michael flynn will stand before the judge, and the judge will read the charges, do you agree to plea guilty, are you doing this voluntary, are you under the influence of any drugs, has anyone forced you to do this, to get a record, this is standard in all these plea agreements, nothing unusual for...

Of course we dont know exactly what the full scope of flynns testimony is going to be. we do know that trump was concerned about him. we do know that flynn was a go-between with the russians and with the russian ambassador. we know that flynn had contacts with kushner with respect to the russians and meetings with the russians. so this could go to the very heart of this whole russian conspiracy to throw the election to donald trump. i mean, that is probably what we are looking at here. but we ar...

This is textbook u.s. attorney manual prosecution here. and this is how they would ordinarily secure cooperation. and think of the tremendous incentive on flynn. they will surely today enter a plea and put off the sentencing and delay it as long as they can so that flynn can cooperate. but more importantly, so that before flynn is sentenced and the government moves for a lesser sentence, that they, the government can see and evaluate whether flynn ultimately delivers, whether he sings for his su...

Five years in prison. and when you do this, you give up certain rights, cant vote, and carry a gun. thats something he cant negotiate his way out of. hes going to be convicted felony. its probable he wouldnt serve time in prison. because hes cooperated already. and undoubtedly because of the plea hell have to continue to cooperate with mueller prosecutors. remember, theyve already asked him questions about what he knows, but after he pleas, he may find out other things. what we get today stt ple...
