Office of president of United States and will preserve, protect and defense the constitution of the u. S. Except where nobody gets killed or robbed. His point is basically that a crime is a crime is a crime, correct . Exactly. I think you see through georges tweet a commonality, again, between he and i. Even though we come from very different sides of the aisle, but a common belief, a core belief in the rule of law in america. And thats a belief that Rudy Giuliani himself shared as a prosecutor. I dont think he was only putting murderers behind bars. There are whole Statute Books being enforced every day. And it would turn our nation upside down to adopt giulianis new position. Thank you very much. I now hand it over to chris cuomo. Thank you, i am chris cuomo. Welcome to primetime. We have new information tonight. The Special Counsel wants more answers from the president of the United States, and he wants them in person. The president s legal team said it was open to more questioning,
intemperate as people were accusing him today of being. he s very thoughtful. he s clearly very patriotic and was deeply offended by michael flynn s offenses, which are very spoke for a lot of people when he addressed flynn today. yeah, let s talk more about flynn because sentencing has been delayed until madgrch. that gives him more time to cooperate with the special counsel. his telling quote was the more you asister tzilssist the gover more you help sentencing. it seemed like the judge would hit flynn with jail time, right? i don t think there was any question. i had, when i was asked that most recently in public, i said i thought he would get a sentence from this judge, who wasn t going to buy all the prosecutors were offering. and that s exactly what happened today. i think the judge was signaling to him that they better take
and i think he just spoke for a lot of people when he addressed flynn today. yeah, let s talk more about flynn because sentencing has been delayed until march. that gives him more time to cooperate with the special counsel. his telling quote was the more you assist the government the more you help sentencing. it seemed like the judge would hit flynn with jail time, right? i don t think there was any question. i had, when i was asked that most recently in public, i said i thought he would get a sentence from this judge, who wasn t going to buy all the prosecutors were offering. and that s exactly what happened today. i think the judge was signaling to him that they better take another look if he has any more in him, which is questionable. the special counsel s office attorney did not really encourage the judge, there was a lot there after the sessions they already had but he didn t turn the judge down because i didn t think he wanted the judge in a bad mood, nor did he want a situ
welcome to primetime. we have new information tonight. the special counsel wants more answers from the president of the united states, and he wants them in person. the president s legal team said it was open to more questioning, but they have been clearly afraid to put the president in a chair across from mueller. you know what that means. there is a showdown coming. and, does this new request by mueller have anything to do with this mystery proceeding that happened today? an entire courtroom put on lockdown. the press was cleared out. coat closets were inspected, even an elevator sealed off. a great debate on what could be coming. mueller dropped another eye-popping memo about general flynn today that gives us our best look yet at how the special counsel deals with liars. a load to break down in cuomo s court. it is friday, so let s get after it. this was always the concern with the written responses from the president, state of mind. the special counsel has said, i
