analyst jeffrey toobin and analyst michael zeldin who once worked for special counsel robert mueller in a different capacity. jeffrey be tooin', we talk about the developments, the fact that at this moment may be pleading guilty and may be cooperating, this could be the most significant development to dade date? >> i don't think there's any doubt it's the most significant because the only guilty plea so far has been george papadopolous, who i think everybody agrees is a fairly minor figure. michael flynn is anything but a minor figure. paul manafort is a major figure but he's only been indicted. they haven't proved he has committed anything, any crime, the fact that such a senior figure is pleading guilty is, obviously, of immense significance. historically as well as legally. let me just raise one point that i think is really important.
