And crucially he knows he is not supposed to do what hes doing, not supposed to get involved, admitting at much in a Radio Interview yesterday. You know, the saddest thing is that because im the president of the United States, i am not supposed to be involved with the Justice Department. Im not supposed to be involved with the fbi. Im not supposed to be doing the kind of things that i would love to be doing. And i am very frustrated by it. I look at whats happening with the Justice Department. Why arent they going after Hillary Clinton with her emails and with her the dossier. If we havent yet heard widespread calls for impeachment, its because this president s disregard for the rule of law for democratic norms, his authoritarian impulses are largely baked in in the countrys perception, even among political insiders. It was just a couple of days ago, for example, that he called the american criminal Justice System a joke and a laughing stock. On top of that, all indications are that th
Thinking isnt a guns situation. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. One week after we learned Robert Mueller had brought indictments against two top trump officials, announced a guilty plea for a third, all eyes on a former highranking official in the Trump Administration itself, Michael Flynn. A man who spent 24 days in the white house as the president S National Security adviser. Nbc news exclusively reporting that shmueler now has enough evidence to file charges in the investigation into flynn and his son Michael Flynn jr. , according to multiple sources familiar with muellers investigation. To be clear nbc news is not reporting who might be charged, only that there is sufficient evidence to file charges in that investigation. Three sources tell nbc news that investigators plan to soon speak with multiple witnesses to gather more information about flynns lobbying work, including whether he laundered money or lied to federal agents about his

Chance to be briefed by the u. S. Pacific command and made his way over to the Pearl Harbor Memorial with the first lady. It will be interesting to see what that conversation was like after they had a chance to sort of absorb all that. Now, at the top of the agenda, of course, is lots that the president is going to try to get done here as he makes his way through asia. A number of important stops along the way and north korea and the threats theyre posing, and south korea. The president will be in search of a united front before going to china where hell try to get president xi to get together on pyongyang. Ivanka trump batting leadoff, giving a speech in tokyo on friday before having dinner with the Prime Minister of this country shinzo abe. Thats before the president s visit and the stops wont overlap, but white house officials acknowledge that hers is a value added element to the trip especially as she keeps the focus on women in business. Now, elizabeth. You made an important point
Youd actually expect all the candidates to be pretty aggressively hawkish on russia, particularly after russia had just invaded one of their neighbors. But it was interesting. In that senate primary, that Republican Senate primary in 2014, this one primary candidate, the local talk radio host, he really went the other way. He called himself a former Pentagon Expert on russia and he told radio iowa that, quote, pushing the russians out of crimea is not a realistic option. He said, quote, i think a lot of people, im not sure they understand the history of russia. You go back, you know, 1,500 years to the foundation of the russian empire. It actually started in ukraine and was evolved out of that. This whole issue is about as russian as it gets, meaning russia should be allowed to take parts of ukraine.
