week. you know, he has four basic options, martha. and it sounded like from his news conference today he might take two at the same time. let s look at those four options. one would be to appeal to a larger panel of the ninth circuit. it s called an en banc hearing. 11 judges picked randomly from the remaining 26 judges in the ninth circuit. he could appeal to the u.s. supreme court and he could try the case on its merits in district court. he seemed to suggest he would do that by saying that he will win eventually. the fourth option would be to rewrite the executive order. make it clear that legal permanent residents such as green card holders are not affected by the travel ban. the white house counsel tried to clarify that when it comes to enforcement. but it was after the fact. so, if the case goes back to judge robart, we know that a schedule could happen as soon as next week where we have briefs and judge robart as i said, in his ruling, in issuing the t.r.o. said it is likel ....
saying, oh, no, never mind that, you re fired. to be clear to the viewers, we don t have the reporting confirmed that you re sharing with us. but that s obviously something we re trying to get information, answers to the white house, the justice department not commenting specifically on this firing. but let s talk a little bit more about bharara, his role here in new york, and really when it comes to litigation on such a large scale that impacts the country. he was not necessarily in just a routine post. so he gets called in the southern district of new york, called the sovereign district of new york. because it s a huge orbit. rudy giuliani was there. comey from the fbi. bhrara is looking at the mayor of new york city, has this ongoing corruption probe. he s about to try two of andrew cuomo s closest confidantes. and looking at things international in scope. really big and interesting. in addition to the fox thing i mentioned, significantly. he has an investigation excu ....

house this past week, but now the ranking member of the house intelligence committee is speaking out. talked with cnn today. where does their investigation go now? well, one of the big things that both the house and senate intel committees are trying to weigh is just how valuable michael flynn, the former national security adviser s testimony will be. of course, the big bombshell at the end of the week is that flynn said he is willing to testify if he is granted immunity for that testimony. he s offered this up to both of those committees. he has offered it up to fbi and the justice department, but it seems as though the committees in the congress are a little skeptical that there will be any real value in flynn s testimony, at least to the point where they would be willing to take that immunity. this is what adam schiff, that ranking member on the house intel committee, had to stay about it this morning on state of the union. we don t want to do anything that will interfe ....
