do at their peril because they don't know what else he knows, but it's normally a lot. >> president trump, as hans indicated, not in the west wing right now, but continues to use his thumbs tweeting a short time ago here, he's talking now, continues to talk about the investigation. this is the president on his former national security adviser. they gave general flynn a great deal because they were embarrassed by the way he was treated. the fbi said he didn't lie, and they overrode the fbi. they want to scare up everybody into making up stories that are not true by catching them in the smallest of misstatements. sad. mr. cevallos, what do we make of the president's communication there? >> general flynn got what the president calls a great deal because to start with, his sentencing guideline range was already in the zero to six-month category. plus, he cooperated. now, there may be an argument that the deal came early on in the case if the government held back from charging michael flynn with things that it could have charged him.
