this is that mccabe, so far, has been worried about pension than prison. that s not the choice that was given to michael flynn. michael flynn, you recall, was charged with false statements, even though comey s investigators reportedly believe that flynn didn t intend to mislead them. that s not apparently the conclusion of the inspector general with regard to mccabe. martha: it was such a great point because michael flynn is still waiting for his sentence. i think the final chapter of the michael flynn story perhaps is not written yet. when you go back and you take a look at what andrew mccabe did, misleading the investigators according to these reports, about leaking to the media and also about this laptop that his office had uncovered, which belonged to huma abedin, hillary clinton s very close associate and her then husband anthony weiner and he waited
tends to respond fairly quickly. just a few days ago talking about the michael flynn story that the with t the washington spoke about, where they shot it down n this case ty cobb don t respond to anyway, he only says yes we are aware of it and we ll let the special counsel continue. but the white house does engage on these questions about the special counsel, the russia investigation, fairly quickly. even if it s just to say, as you saw here with ty cobb, we are aware of it, we are not going to get into this closer. i appreciate it. that s down in west palm beach traveling with the president. president says in the new york times there was no collusion between russia and his campaign. but he did say democrats were guilty. told michael smith i think it s turning to the democrats because there was collusion. there was collusion with the
he has said he wouldn t vote for roy moore. he s now contesting the story from the rnc that he told them to get back in the race in support of roy moore. what do you think the richard shelby effect is going to be if anything? i think it would have been more effective had he come out this strongly a couple of weeks ago before other state republicans sort of retreated to, you know, the nearest corner before excuse me. i keep calling her lieutenant governor kay ivey. she s now governor kay ivey. but that s another story. she said that even though she believed these women, that she was going to vote for roy moore. but it can have an impact. i mean, don t i m not trying to dismiss that right now. and it is a pretty strong stand he s taking. he went on television this weekend. he s not really one for the sunday talk shows. he went on tv with the purpose
about flynn and russia. why did they then lie about it publicly? and when it came to the vice president, either he was lying too just like sean spicer and reen apprecia reince priebus were, which is possible. the vice president s assertion that s he was telling the truth on that matter as far as he knew, i think those assertions should no longer be taken at face value. when it comes to the vice president, there are really only two options, and neither of them are the white house story about what happened. either mike pence like reince priebus, like sean spicer, lied about flynn and russia, he knew the real story and he just told a fake story to the public, or he thought he was telling the truth. but if he thought he was telling the truth, he wasn t just lied to by mike flynn. he was lied to by mike flynn and k.t. mcfarland and tom bossert and steve bannon and sean spicer and reince appreciateus and who knows who else. all of whom were in on what flynn had done with russia. and all of w
thing. but they will not say anything. they will not characterize it. why not? and how long can that be left hanging in the breeze? you re going to have to come up with some answer. it s find outable. have you asked him? here s the second big implication of this nbc story, and i will leave you with this. mike pence is in trouble. now, it is possible that the vice president did nothing wrong, nothing criminal. but he really has been left out in the cold by the white house when it comes to the michael flynn story and michael flynn s guilty plea. the white house is still telling a story about how and why and when mike flynn was fired, a story that all depends on this account by and about the vice president that is now disproven, that doesn t make any sense. and they are trying i guess to stick with this thing. but they really do need a new account now of how michael flynn was fired and why because the
