mike flynn is now flipped. means it's mueller and trump's critics that will be invoking his veracity an service as a witness and trump will have to decide if he agrees with all of this praise he publicly gave his once loyal aide. the most ominous part of flynn's statement today is this, a piece of standard language at the top. quote, these facts do not constitute all of the facts known to the parties about this crime. think about that. bob mueller doesn't need to hipp tip his hand on the other facts t. law didn't usually work that way. but there is a story in these documents. it shows an effort on the part of the trump campaign to appease russia. it suggests this was a flurry of calls and coordination before they even took office. so when you move beyond what happened today of the lie and the false statement, you have to say why? does this look like policy at usual or were there other interest at play? was there something desired or owed? flynn had taken money from russian interest and huddled with vladimir put

what was it about mike flynn. not like the president didn't have reason to believe something shady was up with flynn. i mean, we have had i guess for lack of a better word, we had generic reporting about the president wanting to shut down or trying to shut down parts of the russia investigation. just last night we got a new dramatic instance of that when "the new york times" reported on the president pressuring the senate and specifically the senate intelligence committee, to shut down their russia investigation. we know the president wants to shut down the russia investigation broadly but there has been nothing like the focus lest had on shutting down the investigation into flynn. if you're looking for a point of focus for something the president was trying to stop for months, it was any investigation into flynn. why was trump willing to tolerate and ignore so many red flags and warnings about flynn and why was he willing to bend over backwards and risk his presidency to stop flynn from being investigated? i mean

mike was doing his job. he was calling countries and his counterparts so it certainly would have been wict me if he did it. i would have directed him to do it if i thought he wasn't doing it. i didn't direct him, but i would have directed him because that's his job. and it came out that way and, in all fairness, i watched dr. charles krauthhammer the other night say he was doing his job. and i agreed with him and since then, i've watched many other people say that. no, i didn't direct him, but i would have directed him if he didn't do it. >> it's a bit of a word salad there to endure. but donald trump's favorite thing to say is to talk about fake news. donald trump put out a lot of fake news himself. everything that came out of his mouth there really doesn't hold up in light of what we just heard. mike flynn wasn't fired for doing his job. mike flynn isn't a convicted felon because he did his job. he's convicted of the felony of perjury. of lying to federal investigators. can you address the president's comm

he warned him about mike flynn. tweeted, mike flynn should ask for immunity. this is a witch hunt. excuse for big election loss. by media and dems of historic proportion. this is the argument the president was making. we can see people have tried to make. how could president trump continue the narrative that this is a witch hunt when mike flynn is saying yes i did this. we've seen over the past few months that he continues to back flynn. why? he's also advocated for flynn. now we're hearing in some. i'm sure he'll stay silent after that. this will drive them crazy. he can't figure out what's being said behind those closed doors and in those conversations. we'll probably see a gap over the next, you know, few days or weeks. but whatever cooperation that the flynn team is putting together with the mueller team will eventually come out. and so the first interviews that we see, the first subpoenas we see after this, we'll tell you what that cooperation was probably about and what direction they're going after this. >> he never flipped on flynn. and remember, with the exception of putin

they grilled mike flynn and mike flynn at the time basically were denying it on mike flynn's behalf, later saying mike flynn lied to priebus and lied to pence. this -- this plea deal seems to imply at least some people in the transition knew this. could it really be mike pence and reince priebus were left out of the loop? >> reporter: hitting the nail on the head where the story goes from here. an interesting conversation i just had in the last hour with somebody at the white house. this source. pressing them on this particular point. the pence part of this is significant, remember, that's the reason president trump said that mike flynn was fired in the first place. not for misrepresentations to reince priebus, specifically because he misled mike pence. it appears to turn out based on these documents that other people knew that flynn was misleading pence. the response i got was interesting. no comment. in the middle of a conversation about a number of topics, but this sort of shut at least this one official down and appeared as though that this source at least didn't want to get out

, it's all about mike flynn and bad things mike flynn did.ynn seems to imply, we may find out, he did this at the direction of a senior transportation official we believe, now know to be jared kushner. at some point as a conservative, this has got to smell pretty bad? >> well, the part of ty cobb's statement i find silly, the idea this is wrapping up. if that's what he really believes the white house needs to do a dramatic substitution of its legal staff, because this is a very serious battle. it may have nothing to do with russia collusion, but their going after anyone associated with the administration, the campaign, this will last a very long time and by no means over. as a conservative, the other thing that bothers me and many others i think, the reason we know about michael flynn, we've known about these conversations a long time with the russian ambassador. his name was unmasked in intelligence report and leaked illegally to the media. there seems to be no prosecution of that. why a lot of conservatives are frustrated with the justice d

mike flynn pled guilty to lying to the fbi. the explanation flynn was fired is he had to be fire because he lied to the vice president. that's not true and robert mueller's investigators are on that likely ons on lions on a g. this never made sense from the very beginning but now, i at least, finally have a sense somebody will figure out the real deal. patrick woke up with back pain. but he has work to do. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough, it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after

mike pence is in trouble. now, it is possible that the vice president did nothing wrong, nothing criminal. but he really has been left out in the cold by the white house when it comes to the michael flynn story and michael flynn's guilty plea. the white house is still telling a story about how and why and when mike flynn was fired, a story that all depends on this account by and about the vice president that is now disproven, that doesn't make any sense. and they are trying i guess to stick with this thing. but they really do need a new account now of how michael flynn was fired and why because the old one can no longer be operative. i mean, what had been their operative explanation for why flynn was fired is that the white house was shocked, shocked to learn that mike flynn had lied to vice president mike pence about his conversations with the russian government. that's their story, right? >> did you direct mike flynn to discuss sanctions with the russian ambassador -- >> no, i didn't. >> -- prior to your ina

but mike -- excuse me. i fired him because of what he said to mike pence. very simple. mike was doing his job. calling countries and his counter parts. so it certainly would have been okay with me if he did it. i would have directed him to do it if i thought he wasn't. i didn't direct him, but i would have because that's his job. >> okay. so what's critical here is the time line. if the president now says he knew michael flynn lied to the fbi when he fired flynn on february 13, then why did the president ask then fbi director james comey to let the investigation go the very next day? in his opening statement to the senate intelligence committee, comey wrote that on february 14, president trump asked him to drop the fbi investigation into flynn, saying, quote, i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting flynn go. the he is a good guy. i hope you can let this go. of course the big question now, did the president of the united states just admit to obstructing justice. for more on these developments now, let's bring back cnn's kara skin nel and boris sa

but the mistake mike pence is making, mike pence has this idea that somehow the republicanism that heoffering is more robust, more deeply rooted than the one donald trump is offering. and we wouldn't be in this fix if that were true. that pence style republicanism is in trouble, and donald trump was the answer. remember, when the "access hollywood" tape broke, paul ryan did separate himself from donald trump. he did it very decisively. he refused to campaign with him. anymore. he canceled events. he withdrew his support. and it was paul ryan's support that collapsed i believe about 20 points in ten days. >> and ron klain, we have mike pence's wife in the article, described as saying she finds -- she has been disgusted by trump, finds him reprehensible, just totally vile. and we've had earlier reports this year that steve bannon actually taught the president a little something about the 25th amendment, and how the 25th amendment provides for the vice president to initiate a process by which a majority of the cabinet and the vice president can decide to remove the president because he i

we know for a fact that, you know, mike flynn robbed the proverbial bank. he has pled guilty to lying to the fbi. so, we know that he lied to the fbi. we know that the fbi was pursuing him, at least in part, because they knew he was making false statements about his connections with the russian government. in our hypothetical, that means we know why the guy was jogging down the street in the first place and we know why the other two guys were racing after him. but there are two open questions for us as a country, in terms of the president's liability in this part of the russia scandal. and both of those open questions we got really important new pieces of information about today. the first basic question is one that is contested by the white house, and so, it therefore has to be seen as at least some what of an open question. the first question that has been open, in terms of this liability for the president is, did he really put pressure on the fbi? did the president really back his proverbial car out of the driveway to block the cops running down the stre

i actually think this is very traumatic for mike flynn. i think it's important to cover, but in the end there is really nothing new to the story unless we learn something at 10:30 that we don't know now. >> sandra: what's new is he has been officially charged in this probe and making false statements. we'll continue to cover this story. thanks to you guys for hanging on with us. juan and matt, thank you. >> bill: marie harf with us now. good morning to you. as our coverage continues to unfold here before our eyes. there is a lot we don't know, frankly. we know more now than we did let's say an hour ago when we started our program. your initial read on where this whole russia matter goes given the headline now. >> we're certainly learning more every minute i think of the last hour. but two points i think are very key right now to keep in mind. if this is related to the conversations that mike flynn had with russian officials about these sanctions that my administration, the obama administration put in place. that's directly related to russi

the story now has to be that not just mike flynn but the entire transition team that mike pence was overseeingall conspired together to lie to mike pence and then agreed to keep the lie going for weeks and weeks as the vice president kept unwittingly repeating the lie to the american public. it's either that or the vice president was lying on purpose, telling the american people something that he also knew was not true. the old story is now dead. the vice president needs a new explanation for his behavior. that is one thing that the white house hasn't got around to fixing yet. the other problem the white house has now that they have no explanation for is why mike flynn lied to the fbi at all about what he had said to russia. and that is going to be a mystery that they either solve right away or that takes them right to the very, very, very end. more ahead. stay with us. get ready these 5 pairings are gonna floor ya. like our new feast with lobster-wrapped scallops and a juicy sirloin, plus a savory lobster-and-shrimp smashed potato. and our new lobster and seafood-topped filet? every bite is b

very defensive of mike flynn. that's the kind of conduct you would expect if the president was forced to fire mike flynn not because he lied, but because the lie was exposed. and if the president is one of those senior transition officials who was knowing of the contact and perhaps even supporting this contact with the russian ambassador, that would explain both his reluctance to fire flynn, but also why he would be intervening with james comey and urging comey to drop the flynn case. >> what does everybody -- carol, what do you make of the fact that the president, when he first came into office, said, i didn't tell good general flynn to talk to the russians but i should have or would have. it reminded me of the o.j. story, o.j. writing "if i did it." why would he play coyly like that? >> what he said at the time was essentially -- he was trying to say there was nothing wrong with what michael flynn did. he was saying, i didn't know about it but if i did, it would have been fine. because he wanted to make it seem
