peter smith of the month and god that's your thank you from this country to get the guards to get them on here to create bones. to the courts so all these guys must go into the bush and come up with the number of. he's one of them maybe two that's. true. even for. after the bell gents thank became free. nine hundred sixty. of the independent scuffle. and it became this big headache if you. can. get. a. society. so we started with the money of the. fed with the money of the neurons. i was seven. before really. odd that. they need men they send messages just to rid. of. the population of. one it's so. it lasted. six months. now. and then became the run of the president of the. mining company i asked him to get out of. its. destructive and useless i saw i saw it and those are the images that i was thinking of get them on their principles. when they become a prick if i become a president one day. and try to stop this. over . i'm taking international journalists to defense upticks. for. someone. abuses. my kids must live the life that he lived because to become a fixer you must have a lot o

queen's counsel really take a road even approach made by the foreign office to high court judge peter smith it concerns a twenty fifteen trial involving. ledged wife of the late king fired vs prince abdul aziz the q.c. said this was the first and only occasion in the course of my career that i was engaged on a case where the foreign office attempted to contact a judge although john hour was successful in that twenty fifteen trial she would go on to lose in a court of appeal the u.k. foreign office told us they needed a freedom of information request to respond to the following interview no response to the request has been given in time for this program joining me now is the plaintive in that case thanks for governing back on you won that case and the key as he says obliquely involve the foreign office you may have more sudden appeal when crown prince moment when solomon was here are being sold arms by the resume but so was the problem the foreign office having been involved in the prior case my leg it came out of that he said they really believe that. this is. and i always go back to. this.

the larger issue we haven't been focusing on in this case and this goes back to this issue of peter smith, who was this republican operative who was closely linked to michael flynn. i tell you the person who's been at the forefront of doing reporting on this case is jason leopold at buzzfeed. he's been following the money. the case involved was this republican operative who claimed to have ties to michael flynn trying to pay hackers to gather hillary clinton's e-mails to authenticate them. leopold at the front, trying to figure out was he paying people, was he serving as a front for the campaign to try to go after hillary clinton's e-mails they were gathering from people linked to russia. that's a larger piece that we really aren't digging in. when i first saw that, that's what i first suspected. we don't know at this point because of the redactions. anyone in michael flynn's orbit to make engaged in any type of criminal activity with him regardless of what that was should can very worried right now. this goes far beyond the special counsel. >> we're told flynn provided documents and comm

remember peter smith, the guy who was looking for hillary clinton's deleted e-mails, and said he was working with mike flynn. are we going to hear anything about that? remember mike flynn was accused of conspiring with turkey to kidnap a cleric from the u.s. and extradite him to turkey as part of his lobbying for the turkish government? will we hear anything about that. really, i'm looking for any evidence he was involved during the campaign with the russian effort to interfere. >> we'll soon potentially find out. yesterday, president trump tweeted that michael cohen made up stories and he should serve a full and complete sentence. then the president turned around and praised roger stone for having the guts to stand up to mueller. walk us through why this is so up problem l problematic. >> one is obstruction of justice. the idea of taking steps to attempt to affect a ongoing criminal investigation. he meant to do just that. here, the other issue is witness tampering. the idea of sending a message to potential witnesses that if you'll sort of tell your story in a way that's consistent

the "wall street journal" for instance saying that flynn did have some relationship with this guy peter smith, if you remember this republican guy who was looking for hillary clinton's missing emails. so as we dig through this we try to figure out if if sheds light on what he was providing. >> but shimon, the fact that mueller is recommending no prison time for michael flynn, that's very significant. it shows a level of cooperation that has been in place. >> so the fact -- i've been talking about this all day, the fact that they are saying he provided substantial assistance, those are key words. you see in in these kinds of cases with cooperators. any time they provide very helpful information, what's not clear is what that substantial assistance is. the impact of the information that he provided to them. did they learn things they didn't know about before because -- because of his cooperation? and i'm not sure they will put all this in the memo right now. because there is the ongoing investigation. >> yes. >> and it looks like there is stuff redacted. there may be a separate letter they are

there is also this guy named peter smith who was trying to find hillary clinton's deleted e-mails and he is deceased now. he told people that he was working with mike flynn. will we hear anything about that? will we hear anything about whether mike flynn is aware of trump campaign conspiracy with the russian election effort? these are the questions that i have today. >> hang tight for one second. i want to get to kristen over at the white house. important to step back and remember for a minute just who michael flynn is and the role that he played. national security adviser in the early days of a chaotic trump administration, a critical figure. >> i underscore your point early days. he was national security adviser for 24 days here h not a very long time. i was here when he came out to the briefing room and put north korea on notice. and then he was gone shortly after that. he was fired for lying to the vice president about his conversations with the russian ambassador as ken was mapping out. he said the conversations weren't consequential. he did discuss those incoming sanctions. he p
