Text, that is a joke. Is there a recall process for United States senators from wisconsin . Because people, not only around this country, but our enemies across the world heard a sitting United States senator say that he believed that there was a secret Society Inside the federal bureau of investigation that was planning a coup detat against the United States president. This thats big news. Its going to be very easy for us this morning to laugh at the stupidity of it all. Theres nothing funny about people using conspiracy theories to slur the men and women of the fbi. It used to be liberals that attacked Law Enforcement officers. Certain liberals. And we conservatives were proud to defend the c. I. A. We were proud to defend the fbi and the people who we believe defend us. Now it is republicans that are slandering and slurring the fbi at every turn. So with ron johnson, its clearly one of two things. Either he is of such limited intellect that he couldnt pick up upon reading those Text
Investigation. Ousted National Security adviser Michael Flynn has now cut a deal with the special Counsel Robert Mueller admitting that flynn lied to the fbi about his interactions with Russian Ambassador. And while he certainly didnt say a whole lot, as he was going in and coming out of the federal courthouse this morning, flynns plea agreement does acknowledge el is now cooperating with the special counsels team. General flynn, do you feel youve betrayed your country . What about your son . Will your son be indicted . Will trump pardon you . This is an investigation about that. All right. Not saying a lot there. But here is where he is sharing a statement. Let me quote this from you, from Michael Flynn himself. My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with them is best interests of my family and our country. I accept full responsibility for my actions. Now the white house has said this, the false statements involved mirror of the false statements to white house officials which resul
Fbi director. He has not been questioned very much in public the last few weeks have been filled with fbirelated headline which is he has not discussed in Great Lengths in public including the devin nunes memo, the background check process in the white house which mark warner alluded to saying the security clearance in this country is broken. So a little bit of something for everybody, but certainly a focus on russia, not just looking backwards but also starting to look ahead now to 2018 and what is being done to protect americans elections system and the information we get about the people we are voting for. All of that expected to be on the table and a wideranging hearing were seeing get started right now. Garrett haake, i will let you get back to that. Well hear plenty from you today. As that hearing from the Senate Intelligence committee is under way, we wait for the questioning to begin by the members of that panel.

I am happy of everything hes doing for the economy at least. And what about the white house demand for its release . New information coming up. And a new report is looking at the Washington Post despite the doj warning House Republicans that this would be doing something reckless without an official review. Members of the house and chair devin nunez may have relied on questionable sources to request the fisa warrant early in the investigation. The Senior Administration tells the Washington Post that trump is inclined to have the memo released. Apparently all the rumors are that it will shed light and help investigators come to a conclusion. White house chief of staff john kelly conveyed to an attorney general during two conversations on wednesday. Msnbc has not end dindependentl confirmed this report. And last night Jeff Sessions tweeted that the republicans are only interested in obstruction. It is unclear how much of this fight well see on tuesday when the president delivers his firs
Campaign. And steele had said he was dr s desperate not to see donald trump elected. One paragraph to note. Then director james comey signed three fisa applications in question on behalf of the fbi and Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe signed one. Then dag, Deputy Attorney general and dana boente and Rod Rosenstein each signed one of more fisa applications on behalf of the doj. Again it is important to note this memo was compiled by republicans on the Intelligence Committee in the house and democrats objected to it being released because they say it was cherrypicked and misleading. Same goes for the fbi which said it had grave concerns about material omissions in the memo. The questions right now, of course, is it the bombshell the gop said it would be . Does the fbi respond . What does director Christopher Ray do and does this give the president s justification, any justification at all he needs to fire deputy ag Rod Rosenstein, the man overseeing the Mueller Probe .
