national adviser that was going in just weeks before donald trump s inauguration. according to nbc sources flynn may have been offered millions in a plan to forcibly remove muslim clerk from the u.s. and deliver the man to turkey. investigators are also looking into flynn s son and the role he might have played in the arrangement. nbc s ken dilanian and julia ansly have been all over this reporting. talk to me about the reporting you have on mueller s investigator zeroing in on a meeting between michael flynn and congressman dana roar bacher. yes. there s a lot to unpack today, isn t there? so what we understand is mueller is looking into this meeting that happened september 20th, 2016. it was an evening meeting at night in d.c. where michael flynn and members of his flynn intel group, his lobbying firm at the time, met with congressman roar backer. what they discussed isn t known at this time. we know that they re looking at e-mails between the two staffs and trying to figure out th
direct criticism of federal law enforcement in that clip certainly doesn t help him. but, you know, these people are professionals. they re not going out of mike flynn out of a grudge or revenge play but because he broke the law and probably multiple laws and he knew he had done it when he was giving that speech and that s really unbelievably offensive and i hope that when he is on house arrest after he s arrested and he doesn t make bail they make him watch that clip over and over and over again in his living room while he s awaiting the meeting out of justice here. such a good point, ron. i want to remind the audience of that, too. when you see the clips of michael flynn with the lock her up, he knew, he knew that as he stood there that night saying those things he himself was in violation of federal law. he absolutely knew that. julia, gene, ron, thank you all very much for joining us tonight. really appreciate it. thanks, lawrence. thanks. thank you. new revelations about
really is possibly the most important player in this whole thing because that is where an obstruction of justice case would reside? exactly. i mean, the other thing scarier is mueller coming after kushner. that s right. other than family, this is the most perilous indictment for donald trump. julia, we need your speed reading assessments of the carter page transcript. this is a house intelligence committee interview conducted of carter page on thursday. what do we know at this point? i know it s hundreds of pages long. it is. luckily, i have the help of a lot of my colleagues here at nbc. we are all sort of piecing this apart and sharing the first things standing out and the first thing jumping out are how many people on the trump campaign knew that carter page was going to russia in july of 2016. so far that looks like corey lewandowski, jd gordon, hope hicks, sam clovis and jeff sessions. a piece i was charged with
that, too. when you see the clips of michael flynn with the lock her up, he knew, he knew that as he stood there that night saying those things he himself was in violation of federal law. he absolutely knew that. julia, gene, ron, thank you all very much for joining us tonight. really appreciate it. thanks, lawrence. thanks. thank you. new revelations about russian ties for donald trump jr. and very importantly for jared kushner, a direct, a direct contradiction of what jared kushner has said in the past about russian money in his businesses. and, president trump will be landing in south korea tonight. actually, he has just landed i m told. and we ll see if he has any comments. it s easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees.
i hope this is the president speaking, i hope you can see your way clear to letting this goe to letting flynn go. he s a good guy. i hope you can let this go. now, those are his exact words. is that correct? correct. this is a president of the united states with me alone saying i hope this. i took it as this is what he wants me to do. nbc news reports if the elder flynn is willing to cooperate with investigators in order to help his son, two of the sources said it could also change his own fate. potentially limiting any legal consequences. joining us now, julia ansly, justice reporter for nbc news, one of the reporters who broke the flynn news. also with us, eugene robinson, a msnbc plit cap analyst and ron klain, chief of staff to vice presidents and president obama and a former chief counsel of the senate jewish yeah committee. julia, first to your reporting on the flynn case and i should
