About it. the one thing that s standing out to me now is the white house has got to be pretty nervous. because, you know, there is no joint defense agreement with flynn, nor should there be because he s cooperating. but the white house has broken rules with manafort. but there is no defense agreement, so they realize he s given substantial assistance and they don t know what it is. the one person that comes up time and time again is kushner. there s discussion of the sanctions, there s setting up of the backchannel, the u.n. motion on israel s settlements. all of that happened with flynn and with kushner. now we know that robert mueller believes flynn, and he s been helpful. he s brought other people in to cooperate. he s brought documents. he has e-mails and he s shared it all. were i kushner, i would be on the phone to my friend abby lowell right now saying, uh-oh. glen, i heard it said on this ....
Very complicated meeting between the ua sxechlt a couple of lobbyists, elliott broidee and george nader. we know mike flynn sat in a meeting with jared kushner and the crown prince that s been under scrutiny. it could be something very different. and the point is the president and no one else in the white house or administration knows either. that must be terrifying to them. cynthia, at once they re telling us how much the tonnage of his cooperation, which was a lot. and at the same time they re saying, by filing this, we re done, thank you very much. well, i m not convinced they re saying that. they may still call on him. but let s talk about the tonnage of his cooperation. he met with him 19 times. it s a lot. it s a lot. just let me give you some context. i tried 50 cases. i never met with one witness 19 times in my whole life. glen has probably tried 200, 500 cases, i don t know. i bet you never met with the same witness 19 times. i m guessing it s not because ....
He was familiar with foreign affairs and military policy. this is a significant blow to see this kind of cooperation detailed out for a white house that s under siege. you see a pattern building from robert mueller. all these different instances whether it s michael cohen, kislyak and flynn, paul manafort, all these different instances. we don t know the intent yet, whether there was a criminal conspiracy. we know there was a pattern of behavior here that could raise questions. again, phil, it is hard to know what s behind the black lines, but part of what we are allowed to read tonight, mueller s team seems to be saying, because he was a big fish and because he came over to team usa early that he might have inspired others to cooperate. yeah, that seems to be the signal, and they re also signalling that flynn was not only a campaign confidante of the president s national security measure in the white house but was intimately involved in that transition period, those two months bet ....
Ally. tonight we learn more about the extent to which mike flynn has been cooperating with team mueller. we now know, as we were saying in the first segment, he has participated in 19 interviews with the special counsel and doj. he has been assisting in several ongoing investigations, and we know he has done enough for the feds to recommend leniency in sentencing. perhaps no jail time at all. much of exactly what that entails, however, remains a mystery. here to talk about it with us tonight, two of our returning favorites, phil rucker, pulitzer prize-winning editor of the washington post, and also of the washington post, editor of washington week on pbs. the michael flynn you came to know during the early days of the campaign, when rudy giuliani said this tonight isn t a very big deal after all, should we assume the opposite? i was just thinking about the ....
The administration, making choices about which foreign leaders president trump would speak to and about what topics and so forth. there s a lot of information there. 19 different sessions with the special counsel team. that is a lot. that s not five meetings, that s not six or seven, that s 19. i think if you re president trump at this hour, you re a little bit concerned and wondering exactly what flynn was talking about. and robert, if this were an episode of sesame street, it would also be brought to you by the number 18. that s the number of days since between sally yates warning, you ve got to get this guy out of your midst, and flynn s actual departure from the white house. for all of you writing books about this period, what an 18-day period that will go down as, because yates is sitting at her office at justice wondering what damage is being done. phil was so right to point out the transition, because it s not just those 18 days, it s the transition period that leads in ....
