Flynn lied, and its like they ruined his life. Its very unfair. That came after a weekend of controversy for the president because he was so boisterous and verbose over twitter, including what read to a lot of people like an accidental confirmation of obstruction of justice. Quote, i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the vicepresident and the fbi. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide. Thats a problem for the president on a number of levels, but the very next day the white house told the press that tweet was dictated by the president s lawyer, j

talking about expulsion. he was saying, hey, you know what, you win this election, roy moore, you re going to face an ethics investigation, you re going to be expelled. now that is a very different posture. it suggests if roy moore does win this race a week from tomorrow, mitch mcconnell and senate republicans will say the people of alabama has spoken, that settles the matter. steve korn aki, fantastic stuff from the big board. thank you so much for being with us tonight. as promised we go to robert costa, national political reporter for the washington post, moderator on washington week on pbs also an msnbc political analyst. he s in tuscaloosa tonight covering this race. and, robert, what do you make of the number, the percentage of voters who are on the move, the vote that is migrating perhaps back and forth between these candidates, or do you think as steve seems to indicate, this is getting a little bit baked into the cake now? it s a significant move,
