But donald trump was also warned by Michael Flynn last years, warned that he was not suited for the job and it was donald trump who ignored those warnings. So who should take the blame for the crisis in the white house . General flynns resignation is not the end of the story. This is a fight for the soul of our democracy. The president was warned that flynn might be run valuable to blackmail by the russians. How can you not tell the Vice President for two weeks . It looks like he was deliberately kept in the dark. I have a hundred more questions. Id like to know did he just do this as a rogue general flynn . Was trump in cahoots with flynn . The whole environment is one of dysfunction in the Trump Administration. General flynn continued in that position and was in the president ial daily briefings that makes no sense. Trump spent the whole campaign freaking out that hillary used a private email server. Damn right. Now hes Holding National security meetings over shrimp cocktails surroun

Congressman lewis told chuck todd he doesnt see the president elect as a legitimate president because of the interference from russia in the election. Heres what Incoming White House press Secretary Sean Spicer told me on the today show this morning.

Now they are saying john lewis started it and that is their justification for some of the comments coming from the leader of the free world. Now well bring congressman lewis live to you in this hour. Lets get to kristen welker. She joins us live from trump tower here in new york. A lot to cover. You heard the int

That doesnt seem to be in the offering any time soon. He clarified our strategy. It seems to be a disconnect between what secretary tillerson and the white house is saying on one hand and which is a little bit rabid to say the least and what the Defense Department is talking about.

The issue is not that sessions met twice with the Russian Ambassador as the Washington Post reported earlier this week. Senators meet with foreign emissaries all the time, as schumer did with putin in 2003. The issue is that sessions failed to disclose those mee
