The president is standing by his decision to proactively take hydroxy chloroquine there are mixed results whether it is helping patients. One of the researchers currently conducting a study to see if the drug would protect First Responders in highrisk medical workers joins us live. A newly declassified email from susan rice about how the Obama Administration, for the new revelations, National Security adviser kay t mcfarland with analysis. We begin with White House Correspondent kevin cork on the latest move to declassify information involving Michael Flynn. Most of that email was already declassified in february but the newly declassified portion is describing concerns by jim comey about contact with the Russian Ambassador but also raises new questions why the Obama Administration zeroed in on flynn without informing the white house. The email repeated claims that former president obama want things done by the book. The former fbi director jim comey admitted in an interview he went around white house protocol intentionally because of the inexperience of the Incoming Trump administration to target Michael Flynn. Something i wouldnt have done gotten away with in a more organized investigation, in the george w. Bush administration or the Obama Administration. Reporter the move to declassify the email is the latest in a string of the classifications by rick brunel who again rejected the notion that doing so was in any way political. Thats what they want to provide, information that is not politicized by politicians in any way on any side of the aisle. Reporter the latest the classifications of raised concerns about the Obama Administrations motives during the usually peaceful transition of power in washington. We saw corruption in the transition, designed to sabotage and append the new administration. It is shameful is what it is. This needs to be dug into further, further investigation. Reporter lawyers for Michael Flynn are asking a federal Appeals Court to order the district judge to grant the government notion to dismiss the perjury charges against flynn and seeking the judge answerable from the case for his treason comments to flynn. Also Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is signaling that he is backing efforts to subpoena obama era officials in the unmasking controversy in the fisa abuse during the transition. The Obama Administration actually used fisa to snoop on the Trump Campaign in the white house citing the doj ig report which talked about 17 instances. That vote is coming up on june 4th. We will see if Lindsey Graham gets what he wants, more Obama Administration officials to explain their actions. Shannon thank you. What does the newly declassified portion of the email tell us about how flynn was used by the Obama Administration . Former National Security adviser kay t mcfarlands expert take on the document. Great to have you back. I want to read a little more from the email, president obama asked if comey was saying they should bypass and information related to russia to flynn. Comey replied potentially adding he has no indication flynn has classified information but noted the level of communication is unusual. The president , then obama always not pushing for any specific investigation but had concerns but they had no evidence that he passed classified information. What do you make of the email . There are pieces in the puzzle a coming together and more will be declassified this week and next week and have a Bigger Picture but i have faith. None of these things make sense. The email susan rice wrote to herself saying comey said nothing flynn has done yet to pass information to the russians but might in the future. They know he wasnt doing it because they were listening in on his phone calls. That is what the unmaskings were about and the second thing is when susan rice writes this memo, i was in that. Why would you write a memorandum for the record for yourself unless you assumed somebody was going to look for those clues, that somebody was potentially going to come after the fact and see that they had done something wrong so she would try to make sure everything was done by the book. The third thing is in that meeting which she accounts in that, she says president obama said is there any reason we shouldnt bring the new team and on what we are doing with russia. As if the decision was being made then. I know three weeks before general flynn and i were in susan rices office with a handover briefing and every other topic was mentioned, north korea, china, isis, all the other issues that were on the table that they didnt mention anything about russia and yet they knew it that point that they were about to sanction russia for election interference so none of it really jobs in this you look at it from the perspective of they knew they had done something wrong and now they were trying to cover their tracks but maybe we will find out Something Else. But more is coming. Shannon interesting you talk about you are being brief because the statements as she welcomes the release of the entirety of her email and also that the statement on her behalf says the email made clear the Obama Administration did not change the way it briefed Michael Flynn. Do you think it did change the way you in general flynn were reached . Absolutely. General flynn mess once in middecember with susan rice. I was not at that meeting because the security clearances hadnt come through. We met a second time with susan rice in the situation room and it was about december 20th and we met a third time and in the those meetings today discuss russia. In fact after general flynn talk to the Russian Ambassador and the entire saga sort of fell out about his phone call, the famous phone call on december 20 ninth i said to him isnt it strange, we have been meeting with susan rice the last 3 or 4 weeks and they mustve known at that point they were about to impose sanctions on the russians, they mustve known for months that the russians interfered with the us election so why did they keep that from us, why didnt they tell us. Is that a strange thing, they told us about Everything Else but never about russia. They decided early on for whatever reason that they were not going to share any information about the russians. Shannon before you go, the attorney general said not every abuse of power is a federal crime. Do you think if there is wrongdoing and cover that people will be held accountable in some way . Im not a lawyer and i know that you are. Somebody else has to determine what laws were broken and how. I can tell you donald trump, several occasions midwest elements, he has every intention of doing whatever it takes to get to the bottom of it and hold people responsible and given what grinnell is doing in the Intelligence Community of declassified documents every couple of days i think that now theres too much to have it be swept under the road. Weve reached the tipping point, too many pieces of evidence are coming forward, more people are coming forward now that they are no longer afraid with information and i think people will be exposed for the wrongdoing i do believe they did whether they will go today i dont know. Are not a lawyer, i cant answer the crystal ball on that but i do think they will be exposed and i think that their reputations will suffer greatly from the exposure. Shannon this bipartisan praise for john durham, we await his findings in the day will come. Thank you, good to see you.
