, during the transition which mike pence was running, mike flynn's lawyers notified the transition formally in writing that flynn was the object of an fbi investigation into him having potentially acted as a secret agent for the government of turkey. the transition was notified about that during the transition. despite that notification that he was under federal investigation on a counterintelligence matter, they want ahead and named him national security adviser anyway. nobody blinked. it was only days later, literally less than a month later, when the justice department, the acting attorney general came up to the white house with a hair on fire absolutely unprecedented warning that, you know, okay, if you don't care about him potentially being a foreign agent of turkey, we also need to tell you he has been having secret communications with the russians too, and he has been lying about those communications, which means the russian government has compromised him. and you cannot have a national security adviser who is compromised by the russian government, even if you are comfortable with on

meaning what mike flynn told us. because the addendum includes sensitive information about ongoing investigations. the government has filed publicly a redacted version of the document that excludes the sensitive information. that's coming up in a few pages. the addendum is where the special council's office explains how flynn has been helpful, what exactly he has given them information about. and i'll show you big pieces of it that are redacted, we get a substantial amount of information. all right, sao this -- at the sentencing memorandum, before we get to what he told the government, we get a rundown of how the government got to flynn in the first place, and why he ended up lying to them. as described in the statement of offense, the defendant made multiple false statements to multiple department of justice entities on multiple occasions. the first series occurred during an interview with the fbi on january 24th, 2017. january 24th, 2017 is not yet one week into the brand new trump administration. trump was sworn i

mike's a soldier. he did not go rogue. >> mike flynn is a patriot. he's made some serious mistakes here. i remember when i worked in the congress and he was the head of the defense intelligence agency. he came before our committee to talk about the military intelligence programs of our country. this is -- he was at the apex when he was national security adviser, the top of the pyramid when it comes to our national security. to see it ends like this today is certainly historic. it goes back to the reagan administration when we had two other national security adviser convicted. >> very quickly, ben, let me get you in on james comey. he was out on capitol hill. you saw him on this broadcast yesterday walking into the capitol. he spoke about this flynn case and frankly blasted some in the gop. here's what he said. >> think of what's happening in the republican party. they're up here attacking the fbi's investigation of a guy who pled guilty to lying to the fbi. he should have been warned you shouldn't lie. he should have been told you can have a lawyer.

this hearing was not going very well for mike flynn. there was every chance his client was about to be sent to jail even if only for a few weeks or months. they're going to pack it in and come back another day when they can say that they have fully cooperated. at the same time, he was making a pitch there that, look, we've told the special counsel everything he has wanted to know. 19 meetings with the special counsel and we, the public, to this day, do not understand the extent and the value of mike flynn's cooperation. and that is a very important factor that is hanging over the entire mueller investigation, because mike flynn was with donald trump at crucial times and very often, he flew with him during the campaign. he was involved with these secret talks to the russian ambassador. so, he certainly has cooperated and kilner was communicating that to the court. again, they're deciding it's the better part of valor to wait another day, delay the sentencing because clearly they were afraid of what might happen if the judge passed senten

does mike flynn implicate donald trump? and another big question is did donald trump instruct mike flynn to lie no the fbi? will he testify about that or talk about that or other bad acts that he is alleged to have committed including the $15 million deal with turkey as alleged to extradite the cleric gulan and to find hillary clinton's missing e-mails and what will we hear from that? >> so many threads. and barbara mcquaid, it seems that robert mueller is dropping the crumbs along the way. we saw the intriguing lines in the sen confession of michael cohen last week and what he has said about the trump family, and things that are intriguing and setting off different lines of inquiry, and what might we also learn here about mike flynn and about some of the things that are regarding possible obstruction of justice? michael issakof has been reporting that mueller has said that he is tying up some loose ends on the investigation, and we don't know what aspects of the investigation, and also he has told the congressional investi

mike george bush well george h.w. bush was a force to be reckoned with what kind of reaction are we seeing in d.c. well this being the reaction is yes that this happened within the last few minutes that you just like doubts about the death of george h.w. bush but certainly there's going to be a deep sense of moaning in the nation's capital it was the president only one but a president who left with a great deal of respect and since his has continued with in the public through i'm going to leave to maintaining that degree of dignity the degree of intelligence that's clinton couldn't really is compared to what that subsequently happened and what are we likely to see happening over the course of the next few days mike and i believe he's been ill for some time this didn't come necessarily as a huge surprise. though it did not he has been ill he was diagnosed clock in since disease and he had the good comes the day after he put his wife barbara bush to wrist so that is a degree of sadness throughout the capital in terms of

everybody knows it >> pretty dire prognostication mike khouw in san francisco. how can traders buy protection here. >> yeah, i mean, under normal circumstances maybe when we have seen these kind of pullbacks -- and carter pointed out we have seen several pullbacks of magnitude almost as great over the course of the bull market we have seen. one of the things that didn't accompany that in the prior declines we have seen in the last ten years was sort of, you know, all of the discussion that we have, you know, are we in a ber market are we in a bear market we were hearing the conversation you know formally the qs in a bear market if we use the 20% drawdown as the threshold. so we are looking at ways we can either press a bearish bet or hedge against further declines in the portfolios. we do have elevated options premiums we have been talking about that for weeks now. i think you still want to take a look at things like put spreads on the broad indices like this i was looking at the qqq february 147/131 put spread. you could spend about $4.5 to buy that paying $7 f

number two, let's remember why did mike flynn plead to this? it wasn't for fun. it wasn't a field trip. it wasn't a legal experiment. it was why most people plea, because there was something credibly worse that he was worried about being convicted of, in his case other crimes that would carry more jail time regarding foreign lobbying rules, as well as something that people pled to this week, which was other business financial crimes that came -- i mean, that were indicted this week irkd sd say regarding his business associates with foreign activity. he took this plea deal presumably because there was more bad stuff he didn't want. third and finally, it's good news for mueller to have a judge, people who watch this closely was quite tough on some others, including andrew weissmann, by coming out and going against the flynn lawyer. i think flynn's lawyers may have overstepped a little bit. if they could do this over, they might have tried to nod and wink at this trumpy conspiracy theory without going so far as having their guy called to the carpet in open court. >>

but if you missed the rally mike khouw has a way to get in. and retail is getting wrecked ahead of the holidays. >> how horrible our christmas will be. >> that's exactly what carter werth says he has the charts to prove it it's time to risk less and make more the action begins now. >>> and we start with the markets as the selloff went from bad to worse this week the s&p 500 falling nearly 5% straight back to the october/november lows. now tracking for the worst quarter in seven years as the broader markets plunge investors run for cover in the so-called safety sectors utilities, reits, staple all higher but dan nathan says there is danger in one of the groups. let's get in the money looking at the utilities etf. >> yes today was trading at a new 52-week high one of the things interesting we have a one-year chart it was tracking the performance of the s&p most of the year and there's been a bit of a divergence over the last couple of months you see the orange line where it's gone up to the right. it's gone down and to the right. to me that does

, mike and i started working about colombia about 4 years ago and originally a story about mike's team that work today recover the space shuttle after the accident and as we talked to more and more people, the story grew as the saying goes eventually and ended up being -- becoming what we now think is the definitive story about actually what went on in the ground here and being more than the story of a couple hundred people, became the story of 25,000 people who became involved in search and recovery and where -- we try today to wre about it. >> and that's the expectation we hope y'all realize and take out of here, is that in times of need americans can really pull together and we needed help back in 2003 when we lost colombia and good folks in east texas and the people that responded on our behalf really it was just outstanding efforts so it was a tragedy, we lost 7 astronauts, 7 of my friends, we lost space shuttle colombia and end of space shuttle program. one of the outcomes, recommendation from the investigation board was that we should retire the space shuttle because it was unsa
