Well hear directly from a new generation of political leaders, young people in the resistance and Young Americans who say they are energized by the new president. We begin with the developments on the russian inquires. This may be the weekend that killed the republican investigation into all of the issues. That is because the dam officially broke on the how the intel chairman devin nunes attempt to secretly use White House Leaks to prop up a white house version of events. He got caught friday and got blasted all weekend. The conduct of houts investigator has drawn more criticism than the issues theyre supposed to be investigating. And the top democrat on that panel adam schiff is demolishing President Trumps claims that negative information is all just fake news. Then today it got worse for devin nunes. This is brand new. He lost the most powerful republican in congress who touted Senate Republicans efforts by arguing theyre not like what nunes is doing in the house. Pretty clear the contrast here. The Senate Committee, berr and westerner had a joint press conference last week. They basically locked arms and said were going to go wherever the faukts take us. I think the American People can dpen depend on the investigationing to done on a bipartisan basis and go where the facts lead us. Mcconnell there contrasting the work to nunes. President trump reiterating the baseless charges again this weekend. He cites that obama surveillance scandal which mcconnell also dismissed to day. Intelligence information that indicates the Obama Administration somehow applied, asked for surveillance of the trump transition, the trump team, any Trump Associates . No. Heres the state of play. The fbi and the cia rejecting trumps wiretap claims. So did every other agency that looked that issue, so did Mitch Mcconnell today and he threw shade at his own party for flirting for the false hoods. As this unfolds, one of trumps closest Security Advisors is pledging he has a story to tell if he can get immunity from prosecution. No word on whether that story includes news that broke over the weekend. That mike flynn did not initially disclose the money he received from russia backed firms which by the way federal law requires. Now mike flynn, folks, he is fortunate that he will not be judged by the mike flynn standard. As he famously declared asking for immunity means you committed a crime. It doesnt mean that. Flynn might want immunity as a precaution. Where he might want it in exchange for information about other crimes. Or he may not expect immunity at all. His lawyer may have determined that flynn will be called before congress regardless where like anyone sworn in puts your hand in the air and ask to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and then that case the best tack might for them to get ahead of that by bringing up immunity and the fifth amendment now. That would be a pretty good strategy for playing a bad hand. And the question remains though, what does flynn know . Joining me now for perspective, david corn and yahoo news investigative michael is could have and joyce vance. How would an immunity deal work here if he ever got one . So immunity in this case could come from one of two sources, actually. It could come from the justice department. That seems unlikely. Prosecutors dont like to tip their hand too early in an investigation and offer immunity before they know all the facts. It is too much like buying a pig in the poke. The other potential source for immunity would, of course, be from one of the congressional subcommittees involved in the investigation. That could either be through a twothirds vote by the full subcommittee. Again that, seems unlikely given the fallout of the ollie north prosecution and the irancontra scandal in which norths successful prosecution was ult platly reversed on appeal because of the immunity grant. Right. Youre basically saying using this especially in the congressional context is dicey and cuts against some of the investigative interests there. David, you have been on the story since the beginning. You were covering this in the campaign back when people didnt take it as seriously. You obviously saw something serious. What do you make of the combination of the bizarre, the stupid, and the incompetent in what weve seen from nunes over the week . It is rather traj snik a wgi because the only reason we let the executive branch engage in secret activity is because we have oversight of these activities by the people who we elect to office and the legislative branch. So nunes this past week, past two weeks, totally bologna part the whole process of congressional intelligence oversight. While making a fool of himself and destroying half of the open public investigations into the trump russia scandal we have. Remember, the fbi is investigating. Might be a criminal investigation. Might be a Counter Intelligence investigation. But tend of the day, the fbi is not tasked to tell the public what finds out and produce a public report. The only way the public can understand what happened in all this is to have congress if there is no independent commission do itself. Half of that process has been blown out of the water because of the bizarre, stupid and incompetent, all the words you said. Maybe absurd behaviors of the guy who was in charge of this on the house side. Yeah. Joan, he keeps changing storty which forced Mitch Mcconnells hand on meet the press. After telling the bloomberg columnist that source was not a white house staffer, nunes told him thursday, i did use the white house to help confirm what i already knew from other sources. Lake said, nunes misled him, joan. Well, did he mislead them. And hes misleading the country. He has taken deliberately trying to take, i think, the focus off President Trump. But at this point, he has no credibility. And paul ryan, i really lay this at his feet. At this point, he came out and said that a whistleblower had given the information to nunes. That turns out not to be true. And he has no business supervising this in the first place. He was on the trump transition team. He is in a sense investigating himself. It could be his name, you know, was in the information that he saw. It is just it was wrong from the beginning. It shouldnt have happened this way. But now hes got to take him out out of it or thels part of the investigation, the house really plays no role which is a shame. Adam schiff is doing an amazing job. Michael . Well, look, i agree with what everybody said here. But i think except that i think at the end of the day flynn is going to have to get immunity. Theres no way the senate or the house if they proceed are going to be able to produce the kind of public report that everybody is expecting without mike flynns testimony. Hes such a central witness. He was the Campaign National security adviser. If there were communications with anybody in the russian government during that during that campaign, hes the guy most likely to know what they were about. Michael, ill let you respond further. But i want to ask you, arent you when you phrase it that way, arent you presupposing that hes a witness and not a potential target . He could be a target of the justice department. But for the congressional committees whose job it report but in reality, what will happen here is that flynn will have to accept a plea agreement. Were hearing people talk about immunity. I think the much more likely course of events is a plea agreement in which he pleads guilty to the readily provable charges, perhaps a failure to provide information on his security forms and then youll see him testify in front of the congress after that plea deal is signed, to open an investigation. Take a listen to adam schiff on the piling up questions around flynn. That was a very healthy skepticism. We know from the filing thats were done by the white house on friday that general flynn failed to report the money that he received from that rt propaganda. The kremlin and two other russian entities. We also have requested the background security documents that general flynn filled out to find out whether he similarly failed to disclose work he was doing as a financial agent of a foreign power. Theres a lot we need to learn before entertaining anything like this. I mean, joan, the issue is this is more than peoples paperwork as you forget. It seems larger which is why were you taking money from putins propaganda arm. In the first place. Right. You know, michael is probably right in the long term. But i think right now it just is way too early. They dont know what they need to know from him or about him. We dont know what hes trying to offer. It seems like a way for him and attorney to get out ahead of it. But it just seems like both committees, schiff and that theyre right. Joan, finish your thought and then michael after that. You know, i have a somewhat different perspective here whichcy want to know what theyre waiting for. You know, here we are several months into this at this point. We havent seen a single subpoena from the Senate Committee which is going to be an issue. Are the republicans going to go along with subpoenas . We have no fact witnesses who have been notified for testimony yet. And, you know, i dont know what they think theyre going to get by methodically going through and getting security clearance forms and other materials. I mean, i think the bar here is, you know, people theres a great deal of public expectation. Right. About wanting to get to the bottom of this. And, you know, if their plan is to take months and months and then down the road get it, you know, i dont see that answering the kind of questions that people have. Final quick word to joan. Well, right. Michael is right. I just think you dont start with immunity to mike flynn. But, yes. Why there are no subpoenas, et cetera, those are really good questions. There are a lot of witnesses. Now, as i preview, were completely out of time. Joan walsh, thank you so much, david corn, stay with mechlt we have more after the graek coming up when we get to the family feud gop style.

Today he struck a different note, golfing with conservative ran paul who is one of the loudest critics of Trumps Health care bill. You could feel the love in his tweets as he said that it is alive and well and proud of the love and strength of the r party. Trumps mood may have warmed but his oppositions political payback is still a lie. The top aide actively calling for a primary against Freedom Caucus member justin omash. Of that declaration of war, is this a truce . To break it down, we have brian darling, a former aide to rand paul and also with us, david corn, back us with. And we have former republican representative from florida david jolly. Welcome, everyone. Were going by ranking. So congressman jolly, we start with you. As you know, not everyone ranks congress first. We will out of respect. Very few people do. Explain to us what were seeing in a back and forth, good cop, bad cop but maybe its like from batman. Trump is got cop and the bad cop. Sure. First of all, thank you for not going full off school about flynn and immunity. This is love and strength, i hate to see what hate and weakness looks like from the Trump Administration. We have a failed health care bill. We have an intelligence chairman who lied to the speaker and lied to the media. But, look, the top aide who recently to being on justin, hes an idiot. Hes a complete idiot. Can you take on the Freedom Caucus and actually pass an agenda because heres what hatters. Its opening day. We all think severing spring. And severing great right now. Heres whats going to happen in politics in the next 60 days. Were going to face a Government Shutdown on april 28th. Donald trump will work with democrats or shut down the government. Were going to then face a debt limit increase and work with democrats or he will default on the nations debt. Right. You saw it this week as a bad week between trump and the house Freedom Caucus, wait until you see the divide when he works with democrats on a debt limit increase. Ill take that you to, brian. When you look at grassroots republican politics, one of the most positive things can you note sish use matter, right . And just like your old boss rand paul has really made lip takerian issues of bread and butter of his came pan. Ill put his response here, give him the benefit of response. Wrote back, trump made an establishment merged into the trump establishment. Attack conservatives, libertarian and independent thinkers. Walk us through what you think is important about that reference to libertarians and independent thinkers . Yeah, i joked on twitter this week that some squish in the Trump Administration hijacked the Trump Twitter account because it didnt seem to make much political sense attacking the house Freedom Caucus. The Freedom Caucus could prove to be trumps biggest ally in many fights in pledging to number them. I dont think it makes any political sense at all. I mean justin amash, thomas matthews, not a member of the Freedom Caucus but is very conservative. Jim jordan of ohio. You look at rand paul who golfed with trum top day, these are all very important allies in cutting taxes, getting real tax reform and so many issues that trump wants to get done. It doesnt make any sense to do this. I understand that this administration will work with democrats on certain issues. Probably in the frinfrastructur bill. To get a real tax reform bill across the finish line and this Health Care Debate is not over. There is still a chance to repeal obama care. I think it was not wise to attack so early the house Freedom Caucus and conservatives in general. Right. And david, twitter is powerful. Its part of the modern machinery of politics. It doesnt work for everything. And i dont know if we want to get personal. I remember watching you learn twitter. . Yeah. I was like i dont know about this. I said try it. And now he has more followers. What at which timer is good for. I want to put up a trump tweet that didnt appear to work. Not that one. But the one on rand paul. I feel pretty sure my friend rand paul will come along with the new and Great Health Care program because he knows obama care rcare obamacare is a disaster. Its a march 7 tweet that is trying to achieve an outcome. Not just an insult but an outcome. It didnt work, david. That whatas a brief moment h having to use twitter. I think at the core here is there is no core. What does trump really care about . Does he have any ideas about Health Care Policy . I mean, you have to choose. Can you go free market all the way and get rid of obama care and just let people fend for themselves in a revitalized private system which i dont think is the answer. Or do you come up with Something Else . He has no ideas. Even when tax reform, you know, all hes been able to say is its going to be great and wonderful. He doesnt have Core Principles on the issues. But in a pejorative way. The freedom caulk yes, sir people and rand paul. There is a major policy. And they have to figure out how to deal with. That it is so foreign to his own nature. There is a meeing of the minds with any of these more conservative republicans when it comes to the issues and philosophies they care about. Like we said, you cant insult your way to the president. Trump proved him wrong. I dont think you request insult your way to governing. So how does he do this. There is no path way to do this. And they laid it on the vote. Thats what were going to see play out in the next 60 days. Watch what happened when ted cruz and rand paul meet with the house Freedom Caucus. The ideological leader and the president of the United States claims detail. You could be one of those announcers for the movie sequel where youre like this. I was scary. Final thought. Listen, i lived through this. This is history repeating itself. Hopeful think is a learni
