Announcer from nbc news, this is today live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on saturday morning. Im craig melvin alongside hallie jackson. Sheinelle is in scotland. Lucky lady. The castle. So excited for her. Heck of a trip. She played some golf. It may be the weekend, but it is already a busy morning in washington, d. C. After the mass firings of u. S. Attorneys and revelations over Michael Flynns role as Foreign Agent. We have that covered for you this morning. We will get to that in a moment. Lets start with the top story that brutal cold snap slamming the east coast after springlike temperatures earlier in the week and looming noreaster as well. Indra is here to break it down for us this morning. Good to see you. Good morning. It has been a Winter Weather whipla whiplash. A day after the snowstorm blanketed the northeast causing dangerous driving conditions. We have another noreaster headed our way. Take a look at the video from missouri. Baseballsized hail destroying a windshield leaving it full of cracks. This is a strong system headed our way. Look at the huge pattern change. Arctic invasion. Not a word you want to see. All of the cold air in place. We are looking at temperatures 10 to 20 degrees below normal in the east. Not a good set up with storms connected to make their way in. We are looking for a couple systems here. Maps are slow. Looking at temperatures well below normal. The system in the midwest and southeast. Those two are going to come together. We will start to see a low cruising up the coastline. Depending where the low goes, we are talking about the threat for large amount of snow in the major cities. Look at the totals. Possibly a foot of snow. That is something we watch for through monday and tuesday. A very close eye on this craig and hallie. Thank you. Lets turn to the other big story from washington. The 46 u. S. Attorneys are waking up this morning to find out they are out of a job. Nbcs justice correspondent Pete Williams has more on that. Pete. Good morning. Reporter good morning, ha hallie. All political appointees and cleared by obama. It is clear most of them are moving on. Half of them have. The rest told to clear out. 93 in all because some states have more than one. On friday, attorney general Jeff Sessions notified the remaining 46 they should submit letters of resignation. Many first learned of it when they got calls from reporters. The Justice Department was done as was the case in prior transitions. The statement said career attorneys will carry on until new ones can be nominated and confirmed by the senate. Among those asked to step down. Bahara. A prosecutor who led a major crackdown on fraud. He met with donald trump in late november and said he was asked to stay on and agreed to do it. Now a white house official tells us that the administration intends to accept his letter of resignation. These firings came a day after fox news sean hannity urged the president to get rid of the holdovers and some think the firings were partly a response to that. The obama and george w. Bush administrations replaced attorneys gradually, but in 1993, janet reno demanded resignations in the early days of the clinton administration. Thank you, pete. The white house is working to push their Health Care Replacement bill with Vice President mike pence heading to kentucky today, but the administration is dealing with another controversy surrounding general Michael Flynn. Kelly odonnell is live at the white house. Reporter good morning, craig. We begin with today marking the traveling sales pitch for the trump administration. For the Republican Health insurance overhaul. This is public outreach. It starts with Vice President mike pence to meet Business Leaders in kentucky.

We are working together. With we have great results. Reporter hampered by critics, Vice President mike pence making his rounds. We move beyond the failed policies. Reporter to different groups to push the Republican Health insurance plan. We will have an orderly transition to Better Health care. Reporter from health care to jobs. Remember this campaign bravado . I am going to be the greatest jobs president that god ever created. Remember that. Reporter back then he discredited government job figures. Dont believe those phony numbers when you hear 4. 9 and 5 . Reporter suddenly friday, those same Labor Department stats had credibility when the first month in office for the president showed a drop in unemployment. Press Secretary Sean Spicer revelled. I talked to the president prior to this. He said to quote him clearly. They may have been phony in the past, but it is very real now. Reporter a dose of good humor needed in the Trump White House after disclosures of Michael Flynn. Last fall, flynn worked several months for a foreign owned turkish company. Paid more than 400,000. Flynn provided some information to the trump transition team. A personal lawyer contacted a transition lawyer and asked for guidance on what he should do. Reporter the white house insisted it had not known the client was helping the turkey government. Submitted documentation for outside working but did not register as a Foreign Agent until this week. You would not know that until he filed. He did not file until two days ago. Nobody would have known that because he hadnt filed as a Foreign Agent until two days ago. Reporter taking another look back at Michael Flynn. He was for a time considered a possible running mate for donald trump. I contacted the lawyer who handled the vetting. He said flynn never made it to the final round and not interviewed and personal finances not examined. Kelly at the white house. Thank you. We will break it down with the health care and National Security angles with rick tyler. Our political analyst for msnbc. Rick, lets start with health care. Good morning. The president campaigned for months, close to two years, repealing and replacing obamacare. There is opposition for this. Can the president who prides himself on negotiation skills get the art of the Health Care Deal done . Is his Charm Offensive going to work . I dont think so. First of all, i dont think he will get the votes in the senate. He may not get them in the house. The problem is this is not a repeal. By definition, it is not repeal. The fact is they dont have the votes to repeal it. Senate rules dont allow them to. You need democrats to repeal. The democrats passed obamacare. You can repeal parts of it in reconciliation. That is what the republicans have done. To fully repeal it, you need those votes. They dont have it. Now theyre problem is pretending it is repeal. If there is a repeal, there is no replace. The bill starts amending the aca. Obamacare. What we have is marginally tinkering and not changing all that much obamacare as it exists today. You wont get the Freedom Caucus on board. The Freedom Caucus, conservative members of the house who have concerns about it. 47 members. Rick, broaden out. Put on your teacher hat. We are now well on the way to the first 100 days. What grade do you give the president and what is the headline so far . Its early. Lets say this is the mid terms and not your final grade and have a chance to make it up by doing extra credit. I give them a solid d. Okay. Whats your headline . I think there has been a failure of communicating what the president is trying to do. We dont know what his vision is for rushsia. We know he wants to eliminate isis, but not sure how he will do that. We are unclear of the immigration policy. We have not seen anything on tax reform. As we have seen now, we dont have health care. The immigration eo, executive order, set aside the mortaatori for 160 days. It is not fundamentally different than the government. Rick, thank you. Lets turn to the questions about general mike flynn with jeremy bass. The ousted National Security adviser flynn registers as a Foreign Agent after his firm does work with turkey. Now, it would seem as if he was advising a president ial candidate while a Foreign Agent. Then becomes National Security director. How unusual is that . Very unusual, craig. It is a trifecta of unusual behavior. He was receiving classified Intelligence Briefings as a nominee and transition. He did not disclose his work on behalf of the turkey government to the Justice Department as required by federal law. It appears the white house was informed of his role as lobbyist for a foreign government, but they in fact put him into the job of National Security adviser and did not do anything about it. President trump met with the director of the cia mike pompeo yesterday. One would assume the topic of conversation the massive Wikileaks Dump disclosure of how the cia does hacking. In terms of fingerprints on that dump, do you see russia behind it, jeremy . What do you make of the timing . I think a couple things are telling. First of all, investigators will probably be looking first at the insider. To get access to those sensitive material, you have to be on the Computer System of the Intelligence Community. It is hard to hack that from the outside. They will look first who accessed the documents and printed them and downloaded them. The timing is relevant. This just did not drop from the clear blue sky. The Intelligence Community has been pushing back on russian interference in the election. Many believe this may be russias revenge. An effort to embarrass the Intelligence Community when they call russia on the carpet. Thank you, jeremy. The nude photo sharing scandal by the marines may be expanding to other branches.

You want people to put a face to this crime. Yes. I want to face with the name. The people to know libby and the person she was and did not deserve it.

Let them do their job. You do yours. Reporter the generals kbhen comments unlikely to quell. Where was the task force the last four years over which he allowed to issue to metsatesiz.
