one of the agents he met was peter strozk. remember the name?e is the political activist who famously promised his mistress he'd help stop trump. whatever that means. we are getting a sense of what it means, actually. according to the f.b.i. own documents, andrew mccabe and peter strozk and the rest decided that the f.b.i. agents should not warn flynn making misleading statement to the f.b.i. would be a crime. the analysis suggests that somehow flynn knew this and he must have been a moron for not bringing a lawyer and since he ran an intelligence agency he must have known any calls to kislyak would be tape and transcribed. but that is, in fact, an argument for his innocence. of course he knew that the f.b.i. was be able to check everything he said against information they themselves had gathered. knowing that, why would he lie? maybe because he didn't know he was lying. the downfall seems to be engineered from day one. the feds chose the man and picked a crime to pin on him. >> then moore decided to go -- mueller decided to go back and charge h

now it turns out that peter strozk, the f.b.i. agent who interviewed flynn in january of 2017 was interviewed himself by the f.b.i. in august and he recalled some of those detailed. by the way, the original report that the f.b.i. agents wrote about the interview on january 24, 2017, the original report on that was not released today. it's possible that the prosecutors gave it to the judge under seal. probably a gad idea if they did -- good idea if they did. but we didn't get to see it. >> martha: what was not revealed as you point out is exactly what was said between the agents and michael flynn at the white house so we still don't have a record of that, jonathan. >> that is right. the record we have only gets worse. the clip you played by comey is unnerving. the most unnerving thing other than what he is saying is the thrilled reaction of the audience. i mean here you have the f.b.i. director who republicans and democrats call to be removed for his press conference in the clinton campaign. saying that you know what? i thought i c

but we know how the phase pfize process was abused and all the bias that peter strozk and lisa page had. we know the top five people at the f.b.i., james comey faired mccabe, fired, baker denote and left, page demote and left. deputy director of the counterintelligence demote and fired. those are the key people. we know that. let's get the answers for the american people. >> martha: that is what the brown wrote today. everybody deserves to see what it is in all of this. there are calls to receive all the transcript from the michael cohen discussion to get a really full picture about what he said, which would be fascinating to see all of that. we hope that will happen as well. congressman jordan, thank you, good to have you here. >> you bet. >> martha: coming up next, new contenders emerge in president trump's hunt for a new chief of staff at the white house, including my next guest, republican congressman mark meadows who says this position would be an incredible honor. discuss it sounds like he wants the job that is' coming up next. look, if you're not the lead dog, the scenery never c
