Not know. E we dont know if the president knew about the conversations with russia when they happened and we dont know if or why the white house ignored an explicit warning that russia could blackmail his aadviser. Lets begin with dana bash who is in washington, and theres so much. Good morning to you. Theres so much to walk through this morning. Lets begin with all of the reporting you have on exactly how this all unravelled in the late hours last night. Well, the headline from Senior Administration officials who i am talking to is that they just realized and the president finally realized the situation was untenable, and they situation they describe as untenable is the idea that either now the former National Security adviser did not remember what he said in a ka r conversation with the Russian Ambassador or misled the Vice President on purpose, and that either answer was not sustainable or okay for the president s National Security adviser, and so that is why they said that it was t
Theyd been planning for this big rally due to happen the morning after boris got killed. Ultimately it turned into a funeral march and ultimately they wouldnt even let alexei go to boris proper funeral. They locked him up and held him on charges of illegal leafletting on the day boris had his funeral and was buried. Well, now as we have talked about before on this show, Alexei Navalny, the survivor of that friendship, he is running for president of russia against Vladimir Putin. They have election this is Time Next Year and putin and his government, they do keep finding ways to put alexei in jail. The most recent rabbit they pulled out of a hat was they had him convicted on embezzlement charges against a staterun russian company, something having to do with timber futures . Nobody believes it was a real case but it was a real conviction and technically that conviction disqualifies Alexei Navalny from rubbing against putin. Keeps him off the ballot. That embezzlement conviction they coo
An attack. We can assume an appeal is coming. How is the Justice Department likely to proceed . Reporter the Justice Department is reviewing the opinion and weighing its options. It could appeal to a larger panel of ninth circuit judges to see if it gets a better result or go to the Supreme Court. We will wait. On pins and needles. Thank you, laura jarrett. Lets go live to atlanta and bring in michael moore. Former u. S. Attorney for georgias middle district. Where does it go from here and how long does it take . You have judge gorsuch who will have a hearing in six weeks and could end up on the Supreme Court. This case could end up in the Supreme Court. Right. Thats true. I think the Justice Department will look and make a decision about whether or not they want to ask for rehearing on bond. In front of a larger panel or they want the case to go back to the District Court some more evidence can be gathered. I would point out, ongoing to the Supreme Court for them is the best option fo

Explicit warning from the department of justice that russia could potent yelly blackmail the National Security adviser. That warning came more than two weeks ago. So what happened between then and late last night when flynn finally resigned . Lets begin with our chief Political Correspondent dana bash in washington to walk us through the final chaotic hours that led up to this resignation last night. And a little history for us as well. Lets begin with how last night unfolded. Thats right. It starts with yesterday afternoon, of course, amid so much questioning and confusion and pressure, frankly, on the white house, to decide what to do about Michael Flynn. Kellyanne conway went on tv in the afternoon, a little after 4 00 p. M. Eastern and said that Michael Flynn has the president s full confidence.
