white house. they would not do what the democrats will do. you will see democrats dive in and michael fliynn and people dragged into conflict. that s what the majority of the americ americans want. nancy pelosi she seems to want to find a way to do beoth. let s listen to what he says, for example, of getting the president s tax returns. there is popular demand for the congress to request the president s tax return. they ll have their path as we go forward. i am sure the white house will resist and so the question is how do we go from there and where do we go from there? that ll be a confrontation
deanna, i want to talk about some people who have been removed. michael fliynn, the former national security adviser. reince priebus, white house chief of staff, now anthony scaramucci. did it take a retired marine corps general to get rid of scaramucci even though they didn t immediately get rid of him after that outrageous interview in the new yorker magazine with ryan lizza? there is some reporting that general kelly said the only way he would take this job is if scaramucci would leave, and subsequently you saw over the weekend some solacious gossip come out about scaramucci that involved his family and events that happened a week or so ago, and mysteriously it all comes out over the weekend. i do agree with mark unlike reince priebus, general kelly doesn t need this job. i think if he puts his foot down

number of people. we have seen the same thing with paul manafort. they tried to distance themselves from him. now they are trying to distance themselves from michael flynn. this is frustrating for them because i do think from their point of view, they didn t really realize or know all that went into bringing michael flynn in the white house. this continues to evolve and we learn new things weekly. that is frustrating for the president and for his advisers. this is going to continue to play out. i don t think we have seen everything that we are going to see in terms of michael fliynn. one question is what did he do in the white house? that has not been exploplorexpl. phil, michael flynn is looking for immunity. now he has a story to tell. now senator burke is saying no
let s give a different sp perspective. the russian perspective. let s bring in cnn s matthew chance live from moscow. matthew, what are you hearing? reporter: john, a lot of confusion from the flynn side of the conversation whether sanctions were discussed or not. kremlin came out a few minutes ago and said we have had no conversations of sanctions with michael fliynn or any other trup team member. you know, that s something they are saying. there was an allegation that the conversation with michael flynn, which is acknowledged, and russian ambassador to the united states resulted in the m magnanoumuos decision. responding to the last set of sanctions where obamas expelled 35 diplomats over allegations of hacking. he decided not to wait for the
