kept them in financial recession multiple years when they should have been out of it. it is, it has been devastating for russia, and certainly asked to get those sanctions lifted. ken, i know there will neveren e-mail evidence of it because the president doesn t use e-mail with anyone, but any indication that president trump knew about michael flynn s contacts with kislyak or with his work with these turkish agents? no. and that s strange, stephanie. because everybody else who pleaded guilty to lies to special counsel, the documents laid out why they lied. the context of their lies. motive. in the flynn documents, that inferring if it was in there, was redacted. mysterious. i think kim was making good points there. it stands to reason many people believe that mike flynn, a retired army general, would not have been reaching out to the ambassador of his own accord. without orders from the boss. then i think that s one of the enduring mysteries of the mike flynn case and i think we ll l
you mentioned, it s not just that he lied to the fbi, which he sguilty to. he accepted $ 600,000 to the government of turkey advising donald trump and not charged with that conduct, stephanie. one of the things today that will be interesting, we may hear from mike flynn. he may address the court and public about his crimes and what it means to him, and then after he leaves this courtroom, gradually over the next few many months we may hear about what value he has brought to this robert mueller investigation. another mystery is why is donald trump being so nice to mike flynn as why did mike flynn s lawyers try to argue bizarrely in that sentences document he was somehow trapped into lying to the fbi? the notes of those fbi interviews we saw, released yesterday, clearly show he was given many opportunities to tell the truth and he did not do that, stephanie. stunning for him even to suggest that he didn t know it was a problem to lie to the fbi.
lying to the fbi about his contacts with russia. that, let me remind you, is a federal crime. i have a great team here this morning to break it down. before we do that, i want to get you caught up on exactly what we know. just two hours from now michael flynn will go before a federal judge to be sentenced for lying to the fbi in 2017. it is a crime that could get him up to five years in jail. remember, special counsel bob mueller says after he pleaded guilty and started cooperating with the investigation, he was incredibly valuable. prosecutors described flynn as one of the few people with long-term and firsthand insight into the events under investigation. because of that, mueller ended up recommending that flynn serve no jail time at all. think about that. or six months at most. the story, it doesn t end there. instead of staying quiet, flynn s lawyers filed court documents that accused the fbi of bullying the former national security adviser and failing to
