break to down after this 6 >> if you were surprised about michael flynn guilty plea imagine how the white house felt. is this news we heard today driven by previous indictments with the russian probe. up late with us on "the final 5", seth, how are you? >> we woke up today and got the news about what happened. anything major that we should be following here? well clearly looks like we're moving up the ladder and moved away from papadopoulos and people characterized as coffee holders to someone much closer now to trump administration. national security advisor and when you look at it we're starting to run out of people close enough or closer to trump the people left are son-in-law and son and reall

trump campaign and transition team. >> so the charge that he was pleaded guilty on was lying to fbi. there were heavier charges that they would have filed against him they were looking at. why do you give him that sort of deal without expectation that there might be something to gain from it? >> well every plea he barring san that a bargain. on the one hand the government wants information and on the other hand the potential defendant or now defendant wants a deal. so there's that give and take. what we've seen it seems clear there's additional information that michael flynn is providing to prosecutors and that information in all looklyhood goes it a wider charge that may involve conspiracy to influence the 016 election. so while mr. flynn got a deal and good one at that others seeing what's happening and now they're i

>> there's people that look at news and people not fans of president are thinking this is it. this is big fish and there's other people looking at this one and say look, he just made contact. he did not -- it doesn't mean there was outright collusion there. in fact the kchtions michael flynn had with russians are not illegal in and of t themselves. and when i look at this i try to think, well,y is michael flynn lying to fbi agents and i look back at original investigation into election, i start to see this may have been part of a cover-up prior to election president obama sanked one coconspirator and russian group for

understand it jared kushner sends flynn to talk to the russians and saying don't worry we'll be in office 0 days don't rach they up and when fbi this is more about the cover-up than something in and of itself hope goes to the fact you have administration and you went in not part of administration and we'll drain the swamp. how much of this will you have people like jared kushner is ignorance of the law as it stands how much would be intentional. >> ignorance of the law is no excuse under law. putting that aside you can't claim ignorance and avoid charges. these are sophisticated individuals with top lawyers in the country and it's hard for me to believe at some point when you reach out to the russians for example you are not asking questions of those lawyers

the group associating with don't sea maybe we should check in on that. it's difficult tore me to reach the conclusion that this was just a series of mistakes and everybody was on the up and up up with really no knowledge or intent. that's a tough pill to swa swallow. >> if we went today not expecting this new to come down i suspect next time something comes down we're all caught off guard. >> no kidding. i don't know it's always friday that these things seem to come out but we'll probably be hoor a week, or two or 340 from now. where will tend and your guess is as good as mine now. >> seth thanks for staying up with us tonight and good to see you back after this on "the final 5".
