Go for years with absolutely. No solution u. S. President dont promise makes his position clear denying any links with russia during last years election campaign. Hello im Barbara Starr youre watching aljazeera live from london also coming up. Fighting intensifies between rival groups in yemens capital sanaa with reports of at least forty dead. The.

B. I. Investigation as part of his plea deal on friday mike flynn admitted he had lied about contacting the Russian Ambassador last december and said he was they wrecked it to do so by a Senior Member of trumps Transition Team reported to be chaired cush there what i think you. Know killer is you know killers that are doing this with absolutely no clue so were very happy to see what happened thank you all very much. Well earlier we spoke to Claire Finkelstein who is the the rector of essex and the rule of law at the university of Pennsylvania Law School she said any attempts by the president to protect himself from the investigation may be an obstruction of justice. There are two ways that the president may attempt to protect himself here and i think well start to see increased pressure in this regard first of all theres a worry of course of the president may try to fire Robert Muller now its rather a light plea deal here for Michael Flynn but its an important plea because the fact is that the law is that when told the f. B. I. Involved the russia pros suggest that if President Trump now attempts to fire Robert Muller he may very well be obstructing justice in doing that the same would hold for a pardon if he tries to pardon Michael Flynn. For these charges that may seem to deepen the suggestion that he is engaging in obstruction of justice so wallaces as they say or rather light plead for Michael Flynn it is an important its important that it contains reference to the russia probe itself as that will start to tie the hands of the president protecting himself from this investigation the u.

And while the republicans may get away with this act of looting two nights history is not on their side the day will come and it will come sooner than later when we are going to have a government here that represents all of us not just the Koch Brothers not just the billionaire class not just wealthy Campaign Contributors ive had conversations with c.
