government that mueller has been dealing with who have not been similarly admirable. and you know, it s possible to me by the way, that that whole other section that we don t know about may concern the obstruction conduct that flynn at least knew about and in fact it was his investigation that will trump tried to make to asking kom awl to back off of. so that would be a kind of classic bad government action in contrast to flynn s you know, acting upright and owning up to his mistake and criminal conduct. so we mentioned the acting attorney general sally yates remember going over and saying flynn is compromised telling the white house that. after trump asked comey to let flynn go. trump is a man who has sthoen zero concern for anyone but himself. why do you think he was trying to save flynn, josh? so i think he wasn t trying
and upstanding thing as he has throughout his life. the second sort of inference there is there are many in the government that mueller has been dealing with who have not been similarly admirable. and you know, it s possible to me by the way, that that whole other section that we don t know about may concern the obstruction conduct that flynn at least knew about and in fact it was his investigation that will trump tried to make to ask comey to back off of. so that would be a kind of classic bad government action in contrast to flynn s you know, acting upright and owning up to his mistake and criminal conduct. so we mentioned the acting attorney general sally yates remember going over and saying flynn is compromised telling the white house that. after trump asked comey to let flynn go. trump is a man who has shown
and the whole body of it are redacted, i attach some significance to. and i think that this probably well, if rudy is paying attention, i think he would be very concerned about what that might be. mm-hmm. because there s little hint of what it might be. all right. so one thing that isn t addressed in this filing as far as we know is anything to do with comey and possible obstruction. remember, you know, trump wanted comey to let the whole flynn thing go, and he said, you ll see yourself into you know, your way into letting this go. so what do you think, renato? do you think that s part of what s redacted here? i don t actually. i think this is something totally different. i do too. i don t think this has anything to do with that. i think there s something else that involves that. this is something else, but go on. exactly. you know, that comey piece is you know, trump was asking comey
see yourself into you know, your way into letting this go. so what do you think, renato? do you think that s part of what s redacted here? i don t actually. i think this is something totally different. i do too. i don t think this has anything to do with that. i think there s something else that involves that. this is something else, but go on. exactly. you know, that comey piece is you know, trump was asking comey to let flynn go. but, you know, flynn doesn t necessarily have information about that because flynn is you know, flynn is the one he s trying to help at that point. what i think here is flynn provided information that is allowing mueller to make a criminal case against someone. we don t know who that is. we can speculate or not speculate.
fbi to stop investigating michael flynn. yeah. this could be very significant information. yeah, as we have been discussing previously, one of the hardest parts to prove in the obstruction of justice charge is the corrupt intent. to know what was in a person s mind at the time they made the statement. at the time trump asked comey to let flynn go. and if he knew that flynn had violated the law by lying to the fbi and potentially by violating the logan act, by negotiating with foreign governments, then that certainly bolsters the argument that there is evidence of a corrupt intent there to support a claim for obstruction of justice. and, david, on a day where we have that kind of reporting, you have mark warner, vice chair of the intelligence committee, wanting his last word in the united states senate this year to simply be, do not fire robert mueller. he has to be very worried that if it s going to happen it s going to happen during the
