and ceased michael flynn jr.omputers and electronic device an those thing it is not too hard to imagine that might have happened. i don't to speak now to things that are not a matter of public record. but stay tuned -- >> fox news reached out to british academy here in washington tonight. they were responded and said if they have had anything to offer, about the letter warning about christopher steele they would get back to us and we also reached out to an attorney for suzanne rice, of course, update you if we get a response there. >> susan rice knew it was pretty clear that the obama administration understood as they prepared for the transition that that dossier that was before the fisa courts presented by comey mig and his fbi was that the very least -- likely to be a fraud on the court. >> several red flags and if this letter, in fact, exist we heard it be before but now in court record it is another red flag that said that it was problematic to be using the dossier so if you kind of it out say maybe not every

they don't -- the lawyers for michael flynn didn't even have a copy of the transcript of michael flynn's conversation. he is accused of not knowing the truth about what was said. he is accused of not telling the truth and his lawyers. it's embarrassing. and he's accf not telling the truth and the transcript and his lawyers, multimillion dollar lawyers did not beget the transcript before they told him to plead guilty. it's embarrassing. but sydney is now on the case. lou: and yet, question about why there aren't exculpatory documents that exist apparently but suddenly the country law-enforcement agencies in the department of justice don't know where they are? >> i think we are going to come to jesus resolution here shortly. the horowitz report on the fisa warrant is a really big deal. and it's going to be awful and appoint. but beyond that, the durham work on how the conspiracy against the president got started in the role of john brennan and klapper in comay in the conspiracy is going to be really big. but the problem is the delay. every day that goes by, the president loses an opportuni

that was specifically referring to michael flynn. well, in those conversations, he never once told president trump that the department of justice had exonerated flynn. basically, they had found no evidence that he had either conspired or colluded with the russians. there was nothing to that effect. instead, he went forward with his memos and turned them over so that they could call a special counsel. remember, this is when he leaked the documents to his friend, the professor, and then it went to "the new york times." he stated that this was to call his special counsel on president trump for obstruction. why? specifically because president trump said, why don't we just let this go? you know, flynn did nothing wrong. think about this, sean. at that time, during the meeting with president trump, comey new flynn did nothing wrong. there was no evidence whatsoever that flynn had conspired with russia or that there was any kind of conspiracy. this is what's going to turn the tables and blow everything out of the water down to representative

something three-star general michael flynn was not. andrew mccabe knew full well he was the target of the inspector general and the fbi. thus he was on his guard. something michael flynn was not. >> something i probably wouldn't have done or probably not gone the away with in a more organized investigation -- more organized a-mile-an-hour straition, the george w. bush pore obama administration. in both those administration there was process. if the fbi wanted to send agents into the white house itself to interview a senior official you would work through the white house counsel and there would be discussions and approvals. and i thought it's early enough, let's just send a couple guys over. judge jeanine: cardinal comey, you are so proud of yourself. are you proud that you violated white house protocol as well as flynn's constitutional rights, telling him he didn't need a lawyer? flynn, a man who spent 30 years defending this country. even though fbi agents themselves didn't think flynn was intentionally misstating the facts. i long sa

this all trumps former national security advisor michael flynn awaits his sentence on his plea when he admitted to lying to investigators about his contact with the russian ambassador during trump's transition and earlier this week attorney sydney powell said former national security advisor michael flynn will invoke his 5th amendment rights and will not testify before the house intelligence committee power who are placed plans previous attorney a few months back wrote that he refuses to be paraded harassed or disparage by committee chair adam schiff powell is also pressing for some time seeking a court order to force the government to turn over more materials obtained from the plane case or remains to be seen if and how these cases will impact michael flynn sentence which is set for december 18th or if it will be pushed once again. or as you know terribly in your such huge for him as michael. it's interesting to see kind of all of these cases connected to the rush limbaugh were pro bowling apart and one thing that i notice is a certain mention judge of the new trend this is also the s

russia gave past every turn this week this former national security advisor to president obama michael flynn is back in the headlines with one currently awaiting sentencing on charges of lying to investigators during the moeller probe there's been a curious turn in the court case involving one of flynn's former business partners who was also swept up in russia investigations are 2 americas there are months as soca has the story. in an unexpected turn on tuesday a federal court in virginia overturned a case against michael flint ex business partner. and how he was often referred to as key and the conviction came in july when he was violating foreign agent registration act or far eastern up court district in virginia judge anthony trained dismissed all accounts citing insufficient evidence the evidence was insufficient as a matter of law for the jury to convict rafiki and on either count a new trial would be warranted in the interest of justice should the court's judgment of acquittal be later vacated or a versed came into the picture under the probe of russian interference the jury convicted

no longer standing by a recommendation that president trump's former national security adviser michael flynn receive no prison time for like to fbi agents in the russia investigation. flynn pleaded guilty to the crime in 2017 and made a cooperation deal intending to lighten his sentence. but, according to the "the new york times," flynn has changed his legal strategy in recent months, hiring new lawyers who have accused the government of withholding evidence that would exonerate the former u.s. army general. asked by a federal judge said whether flynn still deserved no prison time, the "times" reports prosecutors said they intend to refile sentencing paperwork. the judge has set a tentative sentencing date for december 18th. >> all right. joining us here on set, msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos. what could be the prosecution's desire to consider a prison sentence now and importantly the significance of that? >> what a difference a year makes. a year ago, the parties before the court and the government had recommended a sentence that could include no prison time. this is incredibly rare. fl

and attorneys for former national security advisor for michael flynn say the justice department new thaty were at the very least problems with the fbi investigation of flynn and that the case should be thrown out. fox chief intelligent correspondent with the latest. >> thank you and good evening. according to the records unsealed by the federal court, i flynn's legal team believes there's a letter from the british embassy warning about the dossier credibility in the alleged was withheld by special counsel prosecutors. the defense team motion states in part, a letter delivered by the british embassy to the incoming national security team after donald trump selection and outgoing national security advisor susan rice says the letter just about or more british secret service agent and causes credibility into question and declares him untrustworthy. the timing matters because the warming about christopher about the presidential transition would be another red flag coming and james comey with president trump on the allegations in the senior justice department official could the fbi handler wit

i'm just being told we have live pictures of michael flynn. michael flynn is walking out of court. the irony here is that michael flynn was the first national security adviser, fired in less than a month after serious questions were raised by then attorney general sally yates about the investigation into his connections to russia and whether he had lied, in fact, about his connections to russia during the transition. he had a status hearing in court today. he has an aggressive new attorney who is objecting to some of the agreements made by his previous private counsel. we know there is a question about his plea agreement and whether or not that is going to stand because he clearly has not given everything that the prosecutors hoped for. >> i think it's safe to say michael flynn won't be coming back to fill the new role of national security adviser. but i do want to go back to something ned said. this white house was well aware of the ideological differences between john bolton and donald trump. bolton advocated for giving north korea a bloody nose and doing preemptive strikes again

federal court unsealed an important filing from michael flynn's legal team. his lawyer sydney powell wrote the book license to lie. she is asking the government to turn over multiple pieces of evidence including materials surround bruce ohr and a memo from the british government warning about christopher steele's testimony. that is huge. powell also requesting federal from the one time acting deputy ag sally yates who voiced concern about the basis of the fbi's investigation into flynn. and the federal judge presiding over flynn's case agreed to schedule a hearing to determine if this material will be released. our own catherine herridge will have a full report tonight. >> according the records unsealed today, flynn's legal team believe there is is a letter from the british embassy. the defense team says they are seeking a letter delivered by the british embassy to the national security team after donald trump's election. the letter disavowed former british secret service agent christopher steele and declares him untrustworthy. a warning about christopher ste

that sounds like what michael flynn said. here's the deal that was offered michael flynn. you plead guilty or we are going to go after your son. bill barr's justice department did not do that. he could have gone after his wife, who took over $700,000 when she was running for state office in virginia. the fbi was investigating hillary. i mean, talk about dirty. >> sean: who is your favorite of the dynamic legal duo? victoria or joe? we will do a poll. let's get back to this though, joe. were all for warrants illegally obtained? it's cut and dry. >> joe: based on what we know and what we've seen, there is no doubt that all four were illegally obtained. the court was defrauded. it was denied evidence. it was given fraudulent evidence. the applications clearly did not tell the truth about carter page, about everyone involved in the process. i mean, there is just no doubt that all four were illegal. >> victoria: let me add something, because you were talking about three times, four times, they were warned. they didn't have to be warned one time for them to have done something w

michael flynn you see here leaving the courthouse after a federal judge officially set his sentencinge the date. it will be december 10th. all of this comes after flynn's new lawyer, a big mueller critic filed a special brief trying to have the whole case tossed. he alleged, quote, egregious misconduct by the government and mueller's team saying they basically suppressed evidence, which destroyed the credibility of the witness and also saying they were basically unfair to flynn. now, as he braces for sentencing there's also heat from congress tonight with house intelligence chair adam schiff commanding flynn to come before that committee by september 25th, saying there's been a failure to comply with a subpoena or cooperate. flynn subpoenaed by that intelligence committee all the back in june and hasn't complied with previous deadlines about documents. at the republican national convention back when donald trump was accepting the nomination, you may remember michael flynn with that lock her of chant and this famous statement. >> and you know why? and you know why? you know why we're s

michael flynn, h.r. mcmaster, now john bolton. all for various reasons but there's a high turnover particularly in that area and foreign policy. a lot of people look at it and say what do you want? what do you stand for? >> the interesting thing is if you look at donald trump over the last decade or more, one of the consistent themes that you will hear him speak of may be for 20 or 30 years is the idea that regime change doesn't work. he said for a long, long time the iraq war was a mistake and we emboldened around by getting rid of saddam hussein and there was a counterbalance and having saddam hussein there that that vacuum allowed isis to grow and then vacuum, and so really i think the president has been very, very consistent. >> neil: you mentioned isis, senator . isis was on the run, isis was defeated. foreign policy advisors urged him to cool it on that kind of talk because it emboldened the enemy. sure enough, isis popped up in other locales. does he have to be careful with his wording? >> i would say that the president is

. >> sean: unbelievable, federal court unsealed an important filing from michael flynn's legal team. we now know that flynn's lawyer sidney powell, she wrote the book "license to live," that is about prosecutorial abuse and misuse. she is asking the government to turn over multiple pieces of what would be exculpatory evidence, including material surrounding bruce ohr and a memo from the british government warning about christopher steele's credibility. that is huge. why haven't they turned it over? legally, they are supposed to turn it over. remember, the dirty dossier author was christopher steele, former am i 65. but that is not all. powell also requesting federal from the one time acting deputy ag sally yates, who apparently voiced concern about the basis of the fbi's investigation into flynn. and the federal judge presiding over flynn's case agreed to schedule a hearing to determine if any of this material will be released. this is a big breaking news story. our own catherine herridge will have a full report tonight. >> thank you, sean, and good evening. according the records uns

>> as you know, michael flynn was not only a part of the trump campaign but he was also part of the trumpition period, and he has a lot of information with regard to a number of issues. for instance, what are the counter-intelligence risks associated with the linkages between trump campaign officials and russia? you know, one of the things that has been unanswered in this whole mueller investigation is even if those linkages did not amount to criminal conspiracy, did they present risks? and was there information involved that if it was exposed, it would embarrass parties here or officials of the administration if the russians were to try to use it to their advantage and leverage or exploit that information. >> you are also on the oversight committee. the committee is looking into increased military spending at the president's resort in scotland, and they're looking for long layover stays. how big a deal is this? >> it's a big deal. the constitution called the domestic emoluments clause prohibits the president from benefiting aside from his salary, okay? he's not allowed to take any compen

now sidney powell, former federal prosecutor, and attorney for national security advisor general michael flynne you here. >> thank you, lou. always good to be with you. lou: this town is aggravating me a little bit. >> i can't imagine why. lou: watching this intelligence committee and watching the deep state at work frustrating the president who intend to do great things. who is already historic in being obstructed at every turn. he's overcoming those obstructions to achieve an unprecedented rate. but what could we do if this president were unfettered by the demons of the left? >> we could accomplish unsold wonders were that the case. intelligence committees these days is an oxymoron. lou: it is that. but if not intelligent, they are certainly determined and that's to obstruct and frustrate this president and even suggest impeachment. it's to say to everyone in this country, the democrats obviously think most of people in this country are damn fools to try to run these games to pretend this rises to the level of impeachment, and the ignorance of putting in cia officers in the white house as wi
