itself. the underlying conduct of general flynn president not only did we believe the russians knew this but they had proof of the information and that created a compromise situation. a situation where the national security adviser could be blackmailed by the russians. it s my understanding from the testimony received yesterday that the white house knew of this compromised situation for 18 days and didn t fire him until the revelation turned up in the washington post. is that right? that s right, shep. you saw sean spicer get grilled about this in the day s briefing. he was traying to turn it away from a process issue to a political issue. he said it was an obama appointee. we had to look into this. general flynn was ultimately fired. he left out what you pointed out, that happened after washington post revealed this. shepard: is sally yates known
