Up and say wait a second, mr. president, michael flynn told us he wasn't ambushed, you shouldn't be saying this and sarah sanders shouldn't be saying this from the press room? >> i don't think so. i think it's pretty clear that people aren't -- at least republicans aren't interested in particularly challenging this white house and that's why i think that sarah sanders can keep doubling down on these kinds of things, because there's no accountability. and i'm totally serious when i say i'm glad you can still be surprised because i think it is important to still hold people to standards but this...

Unfortunate. the president is there in his official capacity to uphold the law. i think uses those kinds of terms which shall i say are not typically coming out of any white house is unwise. >> unwise politically or factually? >> unwise in his duties to enforce the law and to be an example we have a rule of law country. we're not russia. we saw that today with the checks and balances of judge sullivan. i do think -- i will say this, i think judge sullivan got carried away, but he's a wise man. he brought himself back. he used the "t" word. i don't think that was called for at all. in fact i wa...

And today flynn reaffirmed it. he did not complain, as the administration has, about fbi entrapment, an argument by the way that general flynn rejected when asked by the judge today and his attorneys. but if that weren't drama enough judge sullivan rebuked flynn saying with respect to other charges, "arguably you sold your country out." now, he later walked that back, and he put off sentencing until march. so quite a day. not a good one for claiming anyone claiming, as the white house did, that flynn was ambushed by the fbi. yet when asked about it this afternoon this is what sarah sanders sai...

And judge sullivan said, wait a second, this guy should not get away with lying to the fbi, given who he is, given the stakes here, and robert mueller shouldn't be so quick to reward him for cooperating, given the magnitude of his crimes. now, it sounds to me like at the end of the day he's not going to get jail time, but everybody minimizing his crime, both mueller and his own lawyers, who made a terrible mistake by saying, well, you know, he wasn't really prepared and, you know, making excuses about the surrounding circumstances. none of them understood the basic moral outrage that judge sul...

None of them understood the basic moral outrage that judge sullivan was going to bring to the proceedings. >> he may ultimately get no jail time, but judge sullivan all but told us that if he were to sentence michael flynn today he would have given him jail time. he didn't do it but he may have. you heard colonel peters earlier, who sound equally disgusted as judge sullivan told the world, that he was today. are you disgusted by michael flynn's behavior lying to the fbi? >> you know, if you take michael flynn at his word in front of the judge, that he knew he was lying and deliberately lied --...
