At the intersection of muellers obstruction and collusion cases. On the heels of Michael Cohens guilty plea, which revealed a devastating trove of evidence in muellers possession already, flynns cooperation may reveal the answers to some of the questions that have been central to the russia investigation since it started.

How was the decision made to fire Michael Flynn . And this one, what efforts were made to reach out to flynn about seeking immunity or a possible pardon . We may also finally
Its irrelevant if democrats or trump or many in the Government Shutdown because the reality is the American People are the losers when elected leaders cant fulfill one of the most basic elements of their jobs. Funding the government. This morning, trump tried to keep the focus on the border, threatening in three separate tweets to completely shut it down. As if that didnt whip up adequate frenzy, trump said word is a new caravan is forming in honduras. Though trump and congressman and women hyping imaginary border threats want to get paychecks and worry about losing their heat, it would do them some good to face the immediate reality of their own ineptitude. Maybe instead of threats and chaos, theyd come up with a plan to reform our nations broken immigration system. Instead of harming workers who did their jobs. Trump and Congress Need to start doing theirs. Here to help us break it all down, eli stoeckels, White House Reporter for the new york times, and at the table,al sharpton, hos

Competing bills to reopen the government. Theres one catch. Both of those bills are widely expected to catch as the situation gets more serious for those 800,000 federal workers set to go the without their second paycheck on friday. My landlord has made it very clear i have a week to pay or im going to be evicted. I live paycheck to paycheck like many other americans do. Right now its dire need. Weve got a lot to get through with our team to break it all down. I want to start with where things stand this morning. We are about 24 hours from that senate floor showdown. Two dueling bills brought forward, one by republicans that would reopen the government in exchange for 5. 7 billion in border wall money and temporary protection for some immigrants. Separately, the senate will also vote on a democratic shortterm bill that does not include wall money. It would reopen the government till february 8th.
