a flynn sentencing update tomorrow, but that was just canceled. what does that mean for the president s former national security advisor and for this case? they updated on us a few hours ago, they put that out. he s trying to delay his sentencing. the judge surprised everyone in this dramatic fashion and held this hearing, went after michael flynn, thought he should go to jail. the prosecutors had no position, they were saying 0 to 6 months. the judge was not satisfied with that and hinted strongly to michael flynn they should delay his sentencing because he s continue to cooperate. but interestingly enough in the filing today his status doesn t really change. what the government essentially has said is they re pretty much done with him. he s cooperating in this other case, but it s not a mueller investigation. of course they could always go back to him, but he also for all intents and purposes, he is done. the big thing here what s going on is they meant to delay it because they re
$20 worth of pot to a policeman, and that s going to make it judges don t live in a vacuum. they hear and see this stuff, too. and besides the manafort sentencing tomorrow there s also roger stone s hearing on thursday and a sentencing update for rick gates on friday. are all of these developments a sign that mueller s report is imminent, shimon prokupecz? i do think that these main core players of this investigation and cooperators is all really wrapped up. when you look at michael flynn, we had an update on him today, he s essentially done cooperating. paul manafort was the first person indicted, first person that the mueller team, you know, essentially indicted was a main player in this entire investigation. remember it was before judge berman jackson, which is where tomorrow s proceedings is, where we learned that paul manafort in this meeting with cilimnic was
hotel, properties in chicago in d.c. a golf course outside of miami, records related to the president s failed bid as i said to buy the buffalo bills. what does this tell you about the investigation? well, no one s seriously looked ever at donald trump s finances. when he was a casino owner they never once looked at his money or checked him out at all. so this is the first time we have someone with subpoena power, not people like me looking around to see whether they dropped something in a court hearing but subpoena power to compel the production of documents that has had the opportunity to go after him. and tisha james said elect me i m going to go after this guy. it starts with the new york attorney general on the civil side, but this is an opportunity for the new york attorney general s office to share information with both new york state prosecutors like cyrus
so the president launching a twitter tirade against his home state of new york and governor andrew cuomo calling them presidential harassers. this after new york state s attorney general subpoenaed two banks for records about multiple trump organization projects and an attempt by the president to buy the buffalo bills in 2014. let s bring in now jeb sugarman, the author of the people s courts. gentlemen, good evening. thank you both for joining me. david, i m going to start with you. this investigation appears to have come out of michael cohen s testimony last month, just a few weeks ago. this is what he said about the president and the president attempting to buy the buffalo bills. watch this. i m giving to the committee today three years of mr. trump s
michael flynn his lawyers are afraid that the judge is going to put him in jail. so, matthew, we re all focused on mueller s criminal investigation but former prosecutor nelson cunningham says that mueller is also continuing to counter intelligence investigation that started with suspicious trump-russia contacts in 2016. could this mean double trouble for the president? look, counter intelligence investigations are they tend to remain secret. they tend to be about countering another country s intelligence services. it s not about criminal charges. so i don t know if it means double trouble or we re going to find out about it anytime soon, but it really does seem like there s something going on here that are the focus of what the president s looking at. and those sometimes can yield criminal charges. this stuff is hard to predict, and shimon can tell us that. but it remains a concern, that s pretty clear. listen, cunningham says that
