spoilers who are who are not who don't have any intentions for a democratic transition they just want to avoid being brought to justice and being brought to trial and one would wonder why the military would do that at the end of the day the sudanese military have a lot to lose do they not financially i think it's not the military we we we have to be very careful and i'm very keen in this moment in making a distinction between the security council the sudan security council that sort of hijack the this transition process and it is now it is now announcing itself in charge of this body the military feels very much be treated as much as people in the sit in because this group is not where the king for the three main object is the national sovereignty of the nation the constructing. and doing justice to women yours and the poor people that they are acting on behalf of their own selves so there is sort of a conflict of interest between what the army wants and what this security council or group of individuals are wanting their lies another level of bureaucracy because when you have this sort of scenario in any sort of nego

justice department. at some point he will transition to private life and at that point there's very little president trump can do to stop him from testifying, particularly adhering to a lawful subpoena in congress. what will he say, stephanie? >> today president trump's former lawyer, this is amazing if you think about it historically, his fixer, michael cohen is saying good-bye to park avenue life and hello to federal prison. cohen is set to serve a three-year sentence for tax evasion, lying to congress and campaign finance violations. he reporting to the institution in new york up . you see famous names, like the jersey shores and the fyre festival's billy mcfarland. forbes once ranked it of one of america's ten cushionest prison. the facility has lockers to store belongs, microwaves and kosher meals. they have tennis courts, and cardio equipment. joining me now, kathy park, tom winter and my friend, tim o'brien. cathy to you first, we heard from michael cohen when he left his apartment earlier and let's share that before we get into it. >> i hope that when i rejoin my family and friends, that the count

the ones that are related to the contacts between the campaign and the transition and the russians as well as the obstruction of justice are now going to be much more public than they were before. of course the resolution is likely to be more political than legal, but i do think it matters. >> listen, marco, i often have john dean and carl bernstein on the show. and whenever i talk to them i am reminded that watergate unfolded over years. there were often lulls in the investigation followed by more revelations. it's a reminder that there's still so much that we don't know even though trump and his folks want this to move on. but there's still so much we don't know. >> right. and i think where we are at the moment is this impasse where quite frankly the white house is kind of gaining the upper hand. the house -- and when we talk about congress, we're really talking about one party in one house of congress is really pushing for more information. that's the democrats and the house of representatives. they are trying to get witnesses. they're trying to get particularly bob mueller up to testify. so far they're not having l

mike flynn told don mcgahn during the transition two weeks before the inauguration he was under investigation by the justice department. sally yates warning the white house. they didn't do anything for two and a half weeks until it became public what he had done. his line about not knowing about mike flynn is a complete lie. he did. with respect to the attorney general and this investigation. there's nothing wrong with the justice department trying to make sure everything was done appropriately. the inspector general is already looking at these things. number two, if do you look at the way the attorney general has behaved over the last month, there's no reason he should get the benefit of the doubt. even his remarks where you see him questioning the justice department. using this term spying. he's giving rise to this campaign against the justice department for the president is trying to wage. it's completely inappropriate and especially when you compare it to the way he's described the president's obstruction of justice or attempt as understandable because he's frustrated. he gives the bpresident the benefi

in a bipartisan way in the last congress, meaningful criminal justice reform to help currently incarcerated individuals successfully transitionme of the draconian sentencing laws that were put into place during the failed war on drugs. this is a bipartisan issue, democrats, republicans, the left, the right, progressives and conservatives. marijuana reform, i believe, is the next step in this process. >> any white house outreach? obviously first step had the help of jared kushner and ultimately the president signed up. have you been in touch with the white house, in i sense that anyone inside that building is on board with this? >> it's not clear yet where the white house stands on marijuana reform. i am in regular communication with skrard kushner as are many of my colleagues on the issue of criminal justice reform and i believe he continues to be an authentic partner. >> that would be a huge development if this is something that the white house signs on to. hakeem jeffries, great fof you here. >>> joe biden is become on the campaign trail and back to sparring with president trump. chris cillizza has the candidates' midweek g

transitional government and the legislative assembly and the executive branch will be headed by the military or whether it will be headed by civilians so where does this leave the protest movement then i mean presumably justice will be happy at least happy with announcement of the transitional period. or just a few minutes ago we've heard sounds from. the sitting area which is just about 300 meters away and they seem to be a lot of excitement and the protesters seem to have to be feeling some kind of victory but they have been saying for since the press in the city and started in front of the army headquarters on april 6th that they will not feel that their revolution is complete and till power is handed over to an independent civil in transitional government so both sides the opposition coalition and the military council said that within the next $24.00 hours a deal will be signed and a transitional government will be formed but for the people in front of the army headquarters even with the announcements made even with the progress that seems to be made between the 2 sides they say that if they don't see that council that transitional government formed and if they don't see the institutions that come along
