mike flynn was also, eventually, pardoned by then president trump. but there was that truly unnerving foreign agent case against flynn's business partner, where prosecutors in point laid out the case that flynn and his business partner had been on the payroll of a foreign country! while trump had been working on things like, oh, i don't, no vetting candidates to be director of the cia. congratulations, trump's first cia director, mike pompeo, two of the guys who helped choose you for that job, were secret agents working for a different country when they picked youiffe nt flynn, of course, was pardoned. his business partner, who was charged in that case will of the foreign agent charges, his case has been banging around in the courts for more than a year now, but we are expecting his case back in february -- back in federal courts, that might shed some for the like there. that but how is it uncanny, how many people were working at the top levels of the last administration in the campaign that created the last administration where, a, where felons, and

the problem is what flynn is doing is most of america is law abiding. flynn is doing. you have him coming from a church, which is given religious authority to what he is saying, you have the fact he is a retired three star general and he was in a political authority. all of these people that otherwise might be inclined to do things in a peaceful manner are being engaged to do something in a violent manner who is saying on the eve of the investigation into the january 6th insurrection getting people to go to the capitol and engage in violence. >> reporting has been done on the insurrectionists themselves and listening to what they heard from trump and flynn and rudy and the others at the rally is instructive. i want to show you an interview from scott mcfarland on friday. let's watch. >> the president invited the people to be there and then who told the police that it was okay to collect weapons and assault those people? like, that's preemptive assault. that would be like me inviting you to my house and then having somebody there to beat the hell out of

and i think one of the things that got overlooked is that in 2017, when general flynn, who was in thesshairs of the entire deep state under obama, was speaking with ambassador kislyak, they leaked the contents of that communication, intercepted key medications between a russian official and incoming national security advisor to "the washington post." not only don't we know who did the leaking, no one cares because they hate general flynn, he's not their ideology and therefore they think it's justified. that's the reaction here. oh, it's tucker carlson, he's a conservative, we don't like him and so we don't even care if the nsa was doing this, but it is illegal to do either of those two things. >> tucker: and it's not an attack on flynn or anything but like so many people he was under attack and he went on the defensive and then he remained silent and didn't articulate his own case and maybe his lawyers told him not to or something, but if you were persistent independent, look, you may not like my politics, but you're not allowed to violate my rights and break the law. i mean, i wonder

the justice department dropped its case against michael flynn, despite flynn having pled guilty twice to lying to the fbi. and don't forget, we are just forgetting talking about this just this week. five trump cabinet secretaries were referred to the justice department for potential prosecution, while trump was an office. and in all five cases, in the case of all five of those secretaries, the justice department said no, it seems fine, we will pass. that is just off the top of my head. that's just a handful. where the trump justice department appeared to intervene in cases involving trump's allies. that's not even all the ones we know about, those are just the ones i can refine. how many cases were slow walked? or delayed? or quashed? this right? are we going to learn about those? how many cases were shut down in not prosecuted at all? how many were slow down, like barrack derek who? to be honest though, there is one silver lining to the as yet unexplained delay in bringing the charges against derek. and it is actually illustrated by the chapter in the final chapter of the bond story.

case right after the president says flynn should never have been prosecuted. whether that was caused the president said that or because the attorney general felt that on his own, the public will never know. i think at one point the attorney general barr said that the presidential tweet said speaking on these issues of making his job much more difficult, and that may be that he would have done this anyway but you know to the outside observer, one would never know, so i think that obviously bill clinton never communicated publicly or privately when he thought should happen in an enforcement matter and i think we need to counter play that in context policy which assumes a communication that is private is apt, or whether one needs to have a context policy that says you will not -- the white house will not communicate publicly or privately with the department of justice on enforcement matters, which is pretty much what the current word as counsel office much length there and more detailed in line with fire contacts policies. i think there is a new issue here. promp

but i do think that when you have, for example, a reversal on the flynn case right after the president says flynn should never have been prosecuted, whether that was because the president said that or because the attorney general felt that on histh own, you know, the pubc will never know. and i think at one point, actually, attorney general t ba said o that the presidential tweets and speaking on these issues wass making his job much more difficult. and that may be, that he would have done this anyway, but you know, to the outside observer, one would never know. so i think that the, you know, obviously, not obviously. bill clinton never communicated publicly or privately what he thought should happen in an enforcement matter. and i thinkth we need to contemplate that a contacts policy which assumes a communication that is private is apt or whether one needs to have a contacts policy that says you will not -- the white house will nott communicate publicly or privately with theot departmentf justice on enforcement matters. which is pretty much what the current white house counsel's offic
