legal analyst paul callan with us also.ow we know via tweet from preet bharara's account that he has been fired in. and some cases may have stemmed from the allegation from donald trump that trump tower was wiretapped, the president saying that very definitively via tweet last week. do you see any real parallels into those potential cases of the firing of preet bharara and any ongoing matters? >> i think it's possible, fred, because the southern district seat, this prosecutorial seat is the most powerful and heavily publicized seat. you have jurisdiction over wall street and the entire, most of the media operates largely out of new york. so it's everything the u.s. attorney does gets publicity and this guy, preet bharara gets it out there and if he's investigating or in any way investigating the story concerning the russian wiretaps and whether the president was wiretapped in the trump tower, it could be sure that preet bharara was front and center. also, a mentor and counsel to senator chuck schumer and i think the preside

i want to go straight to our legal analyst paul callan. rt to this video that stood out to you about the bag they presumed to have pot inside. you tell me what we're looking at. >> michael brown has come up to the counter. and you notice now someone on the left there has reached for something. and he smells it. so it may very well be that michael brown has presented pot or marijuana to him, and they're taking a look at it. because he wants to barter for the cigarillos, for bag of cigarillos. however, as the film proceeds, it looks like the deal was rejected because he starts to walk out with the bag of cigarillo, and then somebody waves to him and the cigarillos are brought back and put on the counter. now that's the bag that this filmmaker is saying that michael brown came back for the next morning, and that it wasn't a strong arm robbery the next morning, it was in fact him retrieving his own property. but there is a problem with this. i call it the o.j. simpson problem because you remember o.j. was trying to get his property back in neva

paul callan, sarah ganim and laura jarrett, thanks to you. i want to turn to the stunning white house security breach and bizarre new developments on the intruder with president trump's reaction to this breach and the president was inside the white house when the intruder was finally stopped just outside his residence. a few hundred feet away. this is what president trump had to say about this midnight security lapse. >> secret service did a fantastic job last night. i appreciated it. secret service did a fantastic job. it was a trouble person. very sad. secret service was fantastic. >> now the intruder made it all the way to the south portico entrance before stopped him. athena jones, what are you hearing about this suspect? this is 26-year-old jonathan tran. >> reporter: we know he's arrang arraigned today but now reporting from producer laurie who spoke with tran's young eer brother in california, brian, who said his older brother was troubled. that's the same word the president used. jonathan tran was troubled after being laid off from th

i've got paul callan and mark preston. what laura said, in particular this goes at the establishment clause, there have been a lot of changes. green cardholders, visa holders, no religious prioritization. a lot of changes. it wasn't permanent on the syrian refugees. >> this is surprising. the establishment clause says there has to be a separation of state from religion in the united states. it's the religious clause of the constitution. the reason this was tritt criticized by the washington state judge was there was a special subsection giving special exemptions to certain christian minorities but not muslim minorities. >> that was removed. >> they took it out completely. the new one doesn't say anything about religion at all. now, why is the hawaii judge doing this? he's doing this for another reason. you remember there was a big argument about what trump had to say during the campaign about the muslim religion. he said he was going to do a muslim ban and giuliani right at the very end when this thing was being talked abo

. >> joining us, paul callan. i want to go back to viewers for a second, viewers tuning in, if you could explain what it is you know at this point. the house intelligence committee chairman nunes said he hasn't asked for immunity yet but that's very clearly what he wants and discussions have gone on. >> that's right. we have spoke with a number of people that said general flynn through his lawyer has spoken to house and senate intelligence committees through his lawyer. they said they have had discussions and clearly trying to frame this as him not wanting immunity but because he has done anything wrong but because of the political environment this investigation is taking place. that's what their argument is there. we know that and we don't know exactly what general flynn is offering to cooperate with. his lawyer says he has a story to tell if they're willing to tut a deal with him and no one has cut a deal with him yet. these conversations are ongoing, going on the last couple of days and continuing. >> jeff, bas

also joining us is cnn legal analyst paul callan. before -- i just want to go back to carol for a second. just to viewers who are just kind of tuning in, if you can just explain what it is you know at this point. because the house intelligence committee, chairman nunes has said he hasn't asked for immunity. but his lawyers have put out a statement that very clearly indicates that's what he wants. and discussions have gone on. >> right. that's our understanding. we have spoke with a number of people who have said that general flynn through his lawyer has spoken with the house and senate intelligence committees about immunity as well as the fbi. his lawyer's statement clearly says that they have had discussion discussions they are clearly trying to frame this as him not wanting immunity because he has done anything wrong, but wanting immunity because of the political environment in which this investigation is taking place. so that's not what their argument is there. we know that. and we know that we don't know exactly what general flyn
