Thanks. Cbs news political director John Dickerson is joining us now from the set of face the nation. John, there was stug you noticinged today about the president repeating that his National Security adviser had done nothing wrong. Thats right. The Michael Flynn episode, what penalty there is for not telling the truth in the Trump Administration to. Day we got the fourth explanation from the president on what his relationship was with Michael Flynn. The president said flynn had to resign because the former National Security adviser lied to the Vice President about a conversation flynn had with the Russian Ambassador. But the president was fuzzy on what flynn had lied about. The president suggested flynns conversation with the ambassador was a no big deal outreach. That takes place during a transition.

Democratic senator, dick durbin said that is wildly off the mark. Every new administration has the its growing pains. Ki he had to dismiss his acting attorney general.
