giuliani in the white house jumping in with the perjury al allegations, which was not helpful to his case in court, and joining me is ken delainian outside of the courthouse. ken w we a ken, we are hearing a number of statements from the judge while he is trying to get him on the are record that he lied and lied in the white house, and the defense attorneys are walking back the original filing trying to put it in a different context and the prosecutors as well saying that they expect mike flynn to continue to cooperate in other cases, and that he could have been charged on that the turkey case. ken? yes, as mimi was alluding to, this hearing is not going well for mike flynn considering that the prosecution and the defense went into this recommending no prison time. the judge, emmitt sullivan went right to the heart of the filing that flynn s lawyers put into the record where they tried to suggest that because he was not warned that lying to the fbi is a federal crime that mitigated
