did these prosecutors over here threaten to prosecute your son? did they bring such an immense, powerful case against you and you became broke and had to throw in the towel? jason: you ve been in the white house, you were there at the beginning of the trump administration. and given general flynn s background, 33 years of service to this country and the position that he had been in and was going to be in, he had to have known in fact he did know that conversation with the ambassador from russia had been recorded. correct? you would think that he would know that, but let s be very clear about what he was doing. i worked for general flynn in the transition team for the nsc, after the election, the official presidential transition team. and it was our job to reach out to our interlocutors, whetherr
it, that s in today s court documents.he she didn t stop it. they lie to flynn to get the interview. they had a scheme where we re not going to tell him we had a transcript and we ll try to ensnare him into making a false statement. in the end, they didn t do that. what s really disturbing is not just lying to flynn but encouraging him not to have an attorney there and several other deceptions that are all contained in this document which is really a document ofcu corruption by the fbi.. jason: and i think it s going to be fascinating what judge sullivan is going to do it the first part of the week. i want to move on. sebastian gorka, i want to ask you about this. alan dershowitz has come out and said there are some things that are wrong, but there are otherer things that are illegal. mr. cohen doesn t seem to know the difference between the two. what is the role of this
