Fbi before he fired him last february. Setting off a new round of questions about whether the president s actions amount to Obstruction Of Justice. Well, if you take the president s own statement, his tweet that he knew Michael Flynn was lying to the fbi when he fired him, which means that he knew Michael Flynn had committed a felony when he asked comey to stop the investigation. And when he fired comey when he refused to do so and when he fired sally yates and when he called Michael Flynn in april to tell him to stay strong. All of these acts are to impede and obstruct justice. A source close to the white house acknowledging the severity of the misstep to the Washington Post which writes a person close to the white house involved in the case turned the saturday tweet a screw up of historic proportions that has caused enormous consternation in

investigation uncovered against him is vast and damaging and it could be enough to charge trump with a crime after he leaves office. second, that the mueller investigation was not a witch-hunt at all. the list of lies in trump s circles about conduct with russians is long and the bottom line, the president s claim he was totally exonerated by robert mueller s probe is false. the president has repeatedly claimed your report has found there was no obstruction and that it completely and totally exonerated him. but that is not what your report said, is it? correct, that is not what the report said. numerous trump associates lied to your team, to the grand jury and congress? a number of persons we interviewed and our investigation it turns out did lie. mike flynn lie? he was convicted of lying, yes. george papadopoulos convicted of lying? true. paul manafort convicted of
pressure to release as much information as possible so they can quote on quote check his homework and see if the investigator truly followed the facts and weren t impeded by politics. there s some indication we ll find out this weekend. and we will just have to see how far he goes. let s use your powers of deduction. if there was a criminal conspiracy to advance the russian interference in our elections led by the president, many would be involved. flynn, it could be manafort, it could be certainly roger stone, rick gates, all his family members, especially those who met with the russians. how can you blame thes for being a rico type leader of the crime

about donald trump junior. you would have to think it would come before the report is sent over and it looks like there is a very short window on that. i think i have to say a lot of people are overthinking the mike flynn lie. i have been worried about that myself, but when you go back after not looking at it for two years you think wow, there are some holes here. sol, always great to have you as a quarterback for us. the rest of you have to stay. coming up, a member of the military and a self identified white nationalist accused of attacking journalist. the president is completely silent. we re digging into hate and extremism in this trump era, next. extremism in this trump era, next and vast expertise to work.
