mr. flynn's contacted with russian officials. e call including the phone calls place to ambassador last year the same year president obama put sanctions on them. >> we have no basis for an investigation. flynn was well documented ties to the kremlin. there he is at dinner for russian media outlet rt. he was paid to liver a speech. >> okay. shane, what do we know about additional contacts involving mr. flynn who is now national security adviser with the president. >> there was multiple contacts we don't know exactly how many russian officials. that's an important question. we know that the intelligence office looking at this during that transition period. this would not be an unusual period for mike to be setting out -- concontact with ruian what was the nature of the conversation, what was he saying, was he making promises, these are the kinds of questions. >> in he were making conversations with with prime minister or -- >> you may content of the russians because they are are not an alley. >> they are seen as adversarial, you get

so the question then becomes was it appropriate for mr. flynn to have this conversation with the ambassador from russia to the u.s. after the sanctions were out there in the ether? you'll get different views on that, right? a lot of transition teams, what they do, this period of time, they are setting up meetings, they're setting up phone calls. this is pretty standard, and when you have any sort of phone call that's going to be set up, you usually do quite a bit of advanced work. you have call sheets. you know what you're going to say. the actual calls are usually pretty boring and a bit of a formality. if we take trump's view of the event, they were trying to set up calls, there may be others. you take what the u.s. intelligence official told david ignatius, very respected columnist around town. here's what's the most interesting thing to me about that. this could appear to the trump team that the u.s. intelligence organization, the community is somehow suggesting that mr. trump was doing something or mr. flynn was doing something untoward. th

>> i read some media reports about this and suggesting that mr. flynn is is trying to affect it.no idea, i'm not going to speculate about intention, the outcome is you have the chairman of the joint chiefs and head of u.s. intelligence and they've been demoted and you have a political guy who has no national security background. he doesn't. just because he served doesn't mean he knows anything about national security. he's not a national security professional. and he's a nerm nant member. now, to be fair, you could argue a and this is true sometimes, sometimes, these process changes, move in the organizational chart doesn't amount to much at the end of the day. people could focus on process and it ends not mattering, when he gets to sit at the table, and whose voices are being excluded, that can matter and that's the -- more than process, this is about how decisions will get made. now, we just don't know how it's going to work ouchlt we're in our first week, still, mind boggling we're in our first week, but given what we've seen in the first week, changes like this to how decisio

what was important about mr. flynn is throughout his career, he's been very skeptical of intel coming in. look to see if there's any showdown between flynn and some of the folks that they're briefing, namely john brennan, michael rogers and mr. clapper before. we heard yesterday, clapper is ready and almost seems to be relishing what could be a confrontation. >> nancy pelosi said the intel is stunning. what will donald trump be learning today? what information will put him over the top so it will be hard for him to question the validity of this going forward? >> what trump will get and the classified version as opposed to the public report that we'll all get is actually how they know what they know. sources and methods. and this is always, steph, a debate in the intel community. when you're trying to make a public case, you don't want to hinder, you don't want to prevent your ability down the line to go back to those same sources and use those methods. so trump will now how they knew it. what the public will know is wh

i have a lot of questions about what mr. flynn was doing on his trip sponsored by rt. i'd love to know what he is talking about the ambassador about. i worked on the transition in the obama campaign. i was a russia guy at the time. to the best of my knowledge, there were zero phone calls to the ambassador after we went in to office those are things that might have a partisan feel in the context of a committee on the intelligence committee on the senate. it's a good first sign, better than nothing at all. >> i want to add the executive privilege will probably not hatch the people operating the transition. i don't think that clinton or others can say i can't testify because i'm an executive branch official. >> to testify about issues that preexisted the executive privilege. >> december 29th, yes. >> donald trump doesn't play by the normal rules. who knows what will happen. this could be another print of chaos in washington. >> we will wait and see what happens. thank you for joinings us. thank you very much, everybody. >>> coming up, elizabeth warren goes after donald tr

raids the bar for trump, not make exceptions just because we're glad he didn't go with someone like flynn. mr. speaker, a simple set of rules and norms form the fabric of american democracy. since the founding of the republic, leaders of every party and political persuasion have uphold this basic framework. through generations, american leaders have placed principle before party. with remarkably few exceptions, presidents from george washington to barack obama have valued our institutions and our democracy more than private gain or personal advancement. now, mr. speaker, we have a president-elect who doesn't think the rules should apply to him. we have a president-elect who is brazenly breaking norms left and right. we have a president-elect who promises to make america great again but is devoiding the country as never before. here in the united states, we believe every american is entitled to equal justice under the law. but donald trump believes that a different set of rules should apply to him than applied to president obama or president bush or any of the other men who have held this high

mr. trump has a lot of sources with general flynn and general kelly from the pentagon and inside the bureaucracy that are feeding information that are saying do not believe this. this is a false flag operation. and so i think that trump gets it and that the white house narrative is in the wrong direction. melissa: although, i mean, the details who exactly is behind this seems to sort of take the focus away from what is the

but let's not leave out mr. flynn.e went over and celebrated the tenth officers of r.t., russian today, the propaganda channel of the russian government. allegedly was paid a fee to appear there. at least he has not denied that. and then sat at the table with vladimir putin. so were there contacts with senior russian government officials during the election, the answer to that is absolutely yes. >> by the way, jill stein sat at that table as well and she's mentioned in this research document. i want to ask you a very quick question each. malcolm, you about wikileaks and i want to ask david corn about roger. what is the status of this cutout that was used by the russian government? >> wikileaks is a laundromat for russian intelligence. i think the days of wikileaks is over. their reputation is damaged beyond all repair. they're supporting trump, putin and fighting against democracy, working to undermine germany and france. this is insane. wikileaks is finished. >> you think assange will get some help from the trump admi

ashley: according to trump's national security advisor, the russian ambassador has discussed with mr. flynnng up a call between donald trump and vladimir putin after trump takes office. stuart: after january 20. i want to get back to your money. we are up 20 points on the dow industrials. how about oil, no impact on stocks. $52 a barrel. big banks reported profits. jpmorgan and bank of america doing very, very well and all bank stocks are off to the races since the election. carol roth is with us. welcome back. what kind of indicator for the economy on these bank stocks telling us? they have done so well since the election. >> i think this is a good thing for the economy, stuart. obviously we had a situation over the past several years due to regulations, due to the stifling of interest rates, where the banks weren't doing well. we want banks to be out there lending to consumers and businesses. and if you look at what's happening and everything coming together both with interest rates starting to rise and now with trump being president and hopefully being more reasonable with the types of r

mr. tillerson's affinity for russia is alarming because he adds to the growing list of putin admirers in this administration. and that list, unfortunately, includes the president himself and national security advisor michael flynn. mr. tillerson's opposition to sanctions imposed on russia for its illegal annexation of crimea in 2014 was not the result of national security concerns, but rather because exxonmobil stood to make millions, even billions of dollars from a business deal that corporation had recently made with russia to develop its oil and gas interests. what is good for exxonmobil is not necessarily good for the united states of america. these sanctions were put in place because of russia's invasion of ukraine was unacceptable and has now led to at least 10,000 deaths, 20,000 wounded, and 2 million people displaced, hard numbers, hard facts, the result of russian aggression that must be countered. as a member of the armed services committee, i have fought to include in past ndaa's robust funding for crainian security assistance. i am proud to say that this nish was successful and -- this initiative was successful and i also urged successfully a provision that terminated u.s. contracts with the russian

mr. trump and national security adviser general michael flynn. what's going on here?, i mean, i think there's an explanation for it. i'm not trying to, you know, cover over any disagreements that may exist, but i know jim very well. he had a dished career, was a great -- distinguished career, was a great director of the central intelligence agency, fox news contributor here, and he's just a great guy. but i think what happened is he was an adviser on a transition team for intelligence purposes. and then the transition team itself started to make recommendations to the president-elect on who should be part of his staff in the white house, national security adviser, etc., and who his principal cabinet department heads should be to include intelligence chiefs. those jobs have now largely been given out, and they are the people who are talking to president-elect trump because that's his team going forward. and i think woolsey, i heard him say on fox he's trying to make sure that he's not falsely representing his position by saying that he's a member of the transition team
