now the vast majority of the federal prosecutors and, by the way, f.b.i. agents who work in our criminal justice system are patriots, many are veterans, they work day in, day out to keep us safe and abide by their constitutional duties and obligations. and they do turn brady evidence over to the defense as they're required to do by the constitution. the sad fact is, mr. president, some prosecutors don't do this. some choose instead to win at all costs by taking shortcuts. not justice, but shortcuts. and when i say shortcuts, i'm talking about violating a defendant's constitutional rights. the prevalence of these violations is not easy to quantify. these brady violations as we call them. one study -- and i'm not vouching for the accuracy -- stated, and this was a study called the national registry of exonerations, stated that from 1989 to 2017, prosecutors concealed exculpatory evidence at trial in half of all murder exonerations. that fact -- if that statistic is even remotely true, it is outrageous and needs to stop. now, mr. president, such potential brady viol

mccabe told f.b.i. agents he did not think he was lying. and the information we have learned the last months and years culminates in the fact we have a handwritten f.b.i. note that says, quote, "we need to get flynn to lie and get him fired." that is an unfair target on the back of general michael flynn that should concern every american. anytime there is a partisan pursuit of an individual. at least those questions are raised with regard to general michael flynn, and honorable man -- an honorable man who served his country. reporter: when the president fired michael flynn, he said he was doing that because he had lied to the vice president and lied to the f.b.i. given all you said, is it still true that the president still believes michael flynn lied to vice president pence and lied to the f.b.i.? ms. mcenany: vice president pence is on the record. he said he is inclined to believe flynn did not intentionally mislead him. i would turn the question on you and ask, does it trouble you that the f.b.i. said we have to get flynn to lie? doesn't
