and doylestown, cloudy skies ask rain is start ing ing to come d there.g to continue to see the rain move across the entire area. let's go hour by hour and fill you in on what's going to happen. we have these storms coming in from the south. at 10:00 tonight we'll see heavy storms across the philadelphia area. it will taper off and we get a land breeze. maybe a spot si shower. that's your weekend day to do some barbecuing. look what happens. clouds move in and we get an east wind. we see rain moving in sunday night and that's going to linger all the way through your monday. your memorial day. so 78 degrees for your friday. 78 on saturday. both decent days. you get some rain coming in late sunday and lingering into monday. tuesday, maybe a lingering shower and a little too late we clear out. with all this rain and these heavy storms coming through the area, storm ranger 10 is going to hit the road. we're tracking these storms. this is the first of its kind weather radar and if it gets close to the action, tune in tonight. we're going to keep you up to date

ing ing to see them pi blame about general flynn's activities on the obama administration. you would do your own vetting beyond whether you have a security clearance. the trump administration said they are going to pin it on obama. there are going to be many more questions about flynn's activities and why president trump still felt like he was a good fit for this job. >> he was also deputy secretary of state. tony, let's start by getting your reaction to the news tr former obama administration officials that it the former president himself warned mr. trump in person only two days after the november 8th election against hiring michael flynn. >> i don't have any direct knowledge of that warning. it wouldn't surprise me. i think if the president knowing -- president obama thoughing flynn was not a good manager of the defense intelligence agency and that's why he was let go and knowing he was tapped to be national security adviser wouldn't surprise me that came up in conversation, but i don't have direct knowledge of that. >> what about the argument from sean spicer that in april of 2016, the obama administration renewed his security clearances. >> it's a huge effort and distraction. in april 2016 flynn was no longer working for the obama administration. he was let go in 2014. but what happens former officials is they try to hold on to their security cleanss clearances. when they expire, they e get reupped. that's done by the agency that the person used to work for. that's totally different than bringing someone in as national security adviser who then has to go through a much more elaborate clearance process and vetting process. that didn't happen with mr. flynn under the trump administration's watch. i doubt the security clearance was upped. >> the u.s. army as well did they know about his paid speaking engagements in 2015 in moscow. we also have the video of him having dinner at this russian t. >> i don't know. it's a very good question. there were some public reports about the meetings and events. the rt dinner, so arguably that's something that they should have noun and might have looked into when they were reupping the clearance. that's not something that went to the white house or senior levels of the obama administration. it was something done by the defense intelligence agency and usually a routine matter. bl when you reup clearances, i assume you have to fill out forms. the suggestion out there, the allegation is he wasn't completely honest about the money he received from russian tv when he was updating his security clearances. do you know anything about that? >> no firsthand knowledge, but you're right. and any payments you have received from foreign sources. so that's something that should have bye-bye done. >>. >> sally yates is about to testify before the subcommittee. she's going to tell presumably all of us what she told the trump administration about michael flynn after he was national security adviser and in the past the white house said yates gave them a heads up about conflicting statements that flynn b had made to the vice president. what do you expect to hear from sally yates today? how far do you expect her to go? >> we worked closely in the last administration. i expect to hear from her the facts. she is the straightest of straight shooters. remember this. she was initially hired as an assistant u.s. attorney down in georgia by bob br. when she was an assistant u.s. attorney in georgia, she went after anyone and everyone who violated the law. in fact, she helped take down a democratic mayor in atlanta who was convicted of tax e evasion. so sally is the straightest of straight shooters. she follows the law ask the facts. and if she was concerned about flynn and told the white house, i have no doubt that happened and it's ub fortunaunfortunate didn't take her seriously. there's a huge gap when she raised these concerns and let go. and he was omelet go after the media start ed talking about it. >> there were some problems this terms of revealing sources and methods, how she tound out about flynn's phone conversations. she has to be very careful in revealing those kinds of details. >> that's kpktly right. there are some things that may need to happen in a classified session. >> that's a good point. thank you very much. let's bring our panel to discuss all of this. gloria borger is with us. dana bash, and chief national security correspondent jim sciutto. this is very, very sensitive matter that sally yates is about to discuss with members of the judiciary subcommittee. >> she's in a difficult spot because she can't talk about exactly what was in these highly classified intercepts that she read and felt strongly enough to meet with the white house counsel about. what she can talk about is question why it took don mcbegan so long. to alert the president, what the president did with this information, what the white house did with this information, why it didn't send up a red flag or two. we have been told in our reporting that she told them quite strongly that flynn had been compromised, which means he would be subject to blackmail. if you're hearing that it and you're the white house counsel, i can't imagine you wouldn't take that directly to the president of the united states and say, we have a real problem here. >> what they are trying to suggest is that she was an obama administration official. she was subsequently fired by the trump administration because she didn't think the travel ban. was constitutional and she could implement st as the acting attorney general. they are going to raise questions about her credibility. >> the president of the united states unveiled that not so secret strategy in his quite inappropriate tweet going after her. but despite the fact that's going to be some republicans strategy, it's going to be very hard had to really get that to stick. evan perez showed me a story he wrote in 2009 about the fact that john lewis, the civil rights icon, democratic congressman from georgia, was try ing ing to block her from b the u.s. attorney from georgia because she had gone after democratic politicians in atlanta because of corruption and other issues. and that he thought she was a republican. so that kind of gives you a sense if republicans think she's a democrat and democrats think she's a republican, kind of like reporters. maybe we're all doing our job >> give us perspective on what we're about to see. >> what we're about to see is a tale as specific as possible, but not all the te detail e of somebody sounding the alarm to the trump administration and i think we have to also step back here. combine this sally yates testimony with what we learned today about president obama delivering this message of concern about flynn to president trump in their first meeting. you had the most inexperienced person in these matters elected to the presidency surrounding themselves with a team of the least experience d people in dealing with the matters in terms of the closest advisers. and yo
