the prime people that i would be worried should be worried tonight because flynn and kushner were kind of a dog and pony team international. they were going to create their own you know, the breaking of the logan act, create their own foreign policy, cut their own deals places. israeli settlements were mentioned in the document released tonight. and i think we might have to separate michael cohen from flynn in the sense that flynn and cohen don t have a lot of interaction. but flynn and jared kushner had a ton of it, and it s not just donald trump that should be very worried tonight. it s a significant evening. but i think the pressure on jared kushner must be immense right now. let s talk about that separate criminal investigation. it says, flynn is also helping with a separate criminal investigation. that s to you, frank. any idea what that could be about? and the rest of it s redacted. you saw it. it s just like yeah, no. i mean i don t know what that is, but it sure is one
out of the kind of scraps of the mueller report, redacted documents that we re all kind of trying to read what s really going on. watergate, however, was about things in the united states, domestic concerns. i think with general flynn, jared kushner could be one of the prime people that i would be worried should be worried tonight because flynn and kushner were kind of a dog and pony team international. they were going to create their own you know, the breaking of the logan act, create their own foreign policy, cut their own deals places. israeli settlements were mentioned in the document released tonight. and i think we might have to separate michael cohen from flynn in the sense that flynn and cohen don t have a lot of interaction. but flynn and jared kushner had a ton of it, and it s not just donald trump that should be very worried tonight. it s a significant evening. but i think the pressure on jared kushner must be immense right now. let s talk about that
the defenses, as things come out, is, well, these people had no experience. that was kind of what was the white house defense when some of the obstruction investigations started, that he didn t really know how the government worked and how the fbi and department of justice worked. i do want to emphasize, don, that as far as the idea that they have just gotten flynn for lying because there was nothing else, to me this filing makes clear that they could have also charged him as being an unregistered foreign agent. you know, michael flynn retroactively registered as a foreign agent for turkey. and so he was, during the campaign, knowingly acting as an agent of a foreign power. and what this filing makes clear, in addition to undermining a sitting administration, as i mentioned before, by talking to russia secretly about sanctions, is that the filing makes clear that he s also violating a democratic principle of transparency, that if you are out in public, you are working in a campaign, an
russia. are these crimes? maybe, maybe not. i mean the foreign agent piece is. but, you know, transparency should be something that we re concerned about from a democratic and from a national security perspective as well. listen, let s talk about that, renato, because she just mentioned it. to add to this it, sally yates was the one who went to the white house to warn them that flynn could be compromised by the russians. and then fast forward, we re here talking about the rugs potentially have the kompromat over trump for not revealing he was working on this moscow deal that asha just mentioned. that s pretty incredible. it is incredible, don. i agree with what asha just said. flynn, to me, not only did he commit crimes, and i agree with asha, there are other crimes he committed, at the very least, failing to register as a foreign agent. it seems to me the deal he got here was essentially being charged with this instead of something else. but i got to say flynn has exercised such p
information about interactions between the trump transition team and russian government officials. susan glasser, evan mcmillan both here to discuss. good evening to both of you. good to have you on. susan, i m going to start with you. evan mcmullin. did i call you mcmillan? let s talk about michael flynn s connection with russia. how deep do they go and how much does he know potentially? i m thinking back to that, look at this, this is december 2015. this is video. in the photo at an r.t. dinner in moscow. he is seated right next to vladimir putin, susan. he was paid for that appearance, as well, which is always something that struck me, don. i m glad you brought this up because you know, donald trump throughout the 016 campaign when flynn was essentially his main
