But hes also under investigation for taking secret payments from turkey without registering as a foreign agent. Which youre required to do, by law. And last night, we got yet another bombshell, about what the trump team knew with regard to flynn and when they knew it. The New York Times reporting Michael Flynn told president trumps Transition Team weeks before the inauguration that he was under federal investigation for secretly working as a paid lobbyist for turkey during the campaign. Despite the warning mr. Trump made flynn his National Security adviser. Seth so they hired someone who was under active fbi investigation for taking secret payments from a Foreign Government as the National Security adviser. Thats like hiring a babysitter who is still wearing one handcuff. [ laughter ] so just think about this for a second, donald trump and his associates are facing multiple fbi investigations over foreign payments and possible collusion with a Foreign Government. As well as investigations in the house and senate and now a special council. I just wish someone had warned us about the disastrous consequences of a president who would be under investigation while in office. The fbi now has multiple open criminal investigations into hillary clinton. And now shes gonna run the coutnry. Shell be under investigation for years, shell be with trials. I mean, we went through it with him with the impeachment and the lies. Arent we tired of this stuff . This election will determine whether we remain a free country in the truest sense of the word or we become a corrupt Banana Republic controlled by large donors and Foreign Governments. This is collusion and corruption of the highest order and it is one more reason why i ask, my attorney general, i will ask. To appoint a special prosecutor. [ laughter and applause ] seth its literally its literally the only Campaign Promise hes actually kept. [ cheers and applause ] its almost like donald trump is a time traveler sent to warn us about himself. [ laughter ] oh, god, im too late. [ laughter ] now the timing of all this chaos cannot be worse for trump because on friday he sets out for his first foreign trip to europe and the middle east. And aides were hoping it would represent a chance to reboot his presidency. Instead with all the turmoil going on, trump seems less than excited about the trip. According to times trump, a confirmed homebody, has expressed dread about the trip asking aides whether it can be shortened to five days, from nine. So hes basically a kid who doesnt want to go to summer camp. [ laughter ] but what if they dont have the snacks i like . [ laughter ] and he doesnt seem to want to do much preparation for the trip either. According to a report in reuters yesterday conversations with some officials who have briefed trump and others who are aware of how he abosrbs information, portray a president with a short attention span. [ laughter ] he likes single page memos and visual aides. Like maps, charts, graphs, and photos. And National SecurityCouncil Officials who strategically included trumps name in as many paragraphs as we can because he keeps reading if hes mentioned. [ laughter ] they have to put his name in stuff to keep him interested. Soon theyre gonna have to start writing his Intelligence Briefings on a mirror. [ laughter and applause ] in fact, trumps aides arent the only ones concerned about trumps ability to stay focused. During this trip, trump will meet with leaders of nato, our most important military alliance. And according to a recent report, nato is scrambling to taylor its upcoming meeting to avoid taxing president Donald Trumps notoriously short attention span. The alliance is telling heads of state to limit talks to two to four minutes. [ laughter ] in fact, theyre presenting the information to trump on a placemat. [ laughter and applause ] so as he heads out, on his trip to meet the leaders of foreign nations, trump takes with him a cloud of suspicion and questions about his competence. The constant drum beat of scandal and chaos coming from this whitehouse is exhausting. Or to put it another way. Arent we tired of this stuff . [ laughter ] seth yeah, that sounds about right. This has been a closer look. [ cheers and applause ] well be back with jeffrey tambor, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] ugh, no bars. Oh no, looks like somebody needs a new network.

I came out, i had my 300 faux shammy sort of thing on with my hat, and he said, are you anybody . [ laughter ] and i said, i took thirty seconds, and i said, no.

No. They think i eat lunch because they come to the set and im eating lunch. [ laughter ] so they tell their friends that, my daddy eats lunch for a living. Seth gosh.

Seth well because im as i go through those ages, im thinking the stuff that i am most familiar with you, transparent, arrested development, Larry Sanders. Those are maybe not perfect for their ages.
