what he didn't wasn't illegal, like many other people have said, but it's the fact he wasn't straight or honest. i found it hard to believe you would have a conversation with a russian ambassador and not remember it. so either way, either you don't remember or you weren't honest. either way, it was an unsustainable place to be, and the president made a decisive decision to ask for his resignation resignation and he got it. >> that there was white house chief of staff reince priebus. that was just moments ago on "meet the press." >> he was talking about michael flynn's resignation as national security adviser and what he told the
10:22 am
ambassador. let's bring in moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd. thanks for joining us. what stuck out most to you? >> i think there were two things. one, just the definitive comfort that the chief of staff had in basically denying any truth or any idea that anybody associated with the president's campaign or associated with the president spoke with the russians. he said he's been assured by the highest levels of the intelligence community that this report, that there were consistent ties between some members of trump's team and some russian agents is just categorically not true. so they put themselves on the record on a number of things that are contradicted by a lot of different media reports. we'll see. there is the senate intelligence investigation. he did confirm they're starting to preserve documents and any communications that have anything to do with russia as instructed by the senate intelligence comme,
10:23 am
starting this investigation. >> we're seeing images there of mike flynn. now that he's out of that position for national security adviser, there are four contenders. who's rising to the top? >> i would keep track of both the two military veterans there that are not general kellogg, who is the acting nsa. both have some ties to jim mattis, the defense secretary. i would be surprised if john bolton got it, who's more of a politician, the one politician in that group, only because his foreign policy world view and the president's foreign policy world view couldn't be farther apart. that would surprise me more than anything. he's popular in some conservative hawkish circles, but it would run counter to the president's own foreign policy beliefs. that's the one that would stick out to me. >> all right, chuck todd. thanks for joining us. >> six minutes and 13 seconds to get to studio
