CNN's Jim Acosta Pushes Robert Mueller For TIME Person Of The Year
National Security Advisor Michael Flynn have told president Trump's legal team
that they're no longer going to share information about Special Counsel Robert
Muller's investigation and that could be a sign Flynn is cooperating with ballers
team in hopes of a plea deal let's dig deeper now with our correspondents and
analysts let me turn to Matthew Rosenberg who on the screen behind me
Matthew do you believe that Michael Flynn is cooperating is that what this
development means that's really what Trump's lawyer own lawyers believe that
he's either cooperating or started to negotiate a deal to cooperate look I
think we have to remember that Flynn's own lawyers said in the spring that his
client had quote a story to tell and he wanted immunity to tell it that was in
reference to Congress but the implication there was that he would also
cooperate with federal investigators what that story is what he has to offer
we still don't know and I think there's a lot of uncertainty over at the White
House among Trump's lawyers and among other people kind of within this course
circle mana for Kushner you know there's a whole range of people but Flynn was
you know one of the earliest kind of campaign people to join the campaign he
was a national security adviser throughout it so the former three-star
general who ran the defense intelligence agency
let's service national security advisor for 24 days that is a office right down
the hallway hall from the West Wing he saw a lot he knows a lot what he's got
to say that we don't know and how much is he willing to say we're gonna find
out and that's he's up the next question Phil Mudd what can Michael Flint offered
a Robert Muller do you think it sounds like he could offer a lot a heck of a
lotta and let's let's focus in just a moment on not only what he can offer but
on the timing but on the what you look at all the smoke we've seen look
stupidity is not a federal violation Donald Trump jr. last summer meeting a
Russian lawyer for dirt on Hillary Clinton that's stupid
it's not clear that it violates federal law Michael Flynn knows the details of
what happened in the campaign for example did someone accept information
from a Russian source that related the campaign that would potentially be a
federal violation so getting behind all the smoke about allegations and getting
into the facts of whether there's a federal violation is significant the
timing to me this is better than Game of Thrones that you're from Washington DC
we're going into some of the key interviews in the White House
those interviewees people like Jared Kushner now know a couple of things
number one it's not just about Russia if you lie Robert Muller has already shown
he'll indict you number two if you've got financial irregularities it's not
just about Russia you'll get a dike now we have a number three a big shoe if you
sort of shuck and jive about what happened during the campaign there's
somebody who was there sitting beside you who's gonna say hey director Muller
that guy's not telling the truth this is really interesting the timing because
now these people being interviewed know they're in trouble
and someone the president's legal team says well don't read too much into this
but obviously you're up there on Capitol Hill quite a bit people are reading into
this yeah absolutely Jay Sekulow is saying there's no
conclusions to be reached here but clearly this is one step closer to
president Trump really you know this is someone that not only was as you guys
have been arguing very trusted and lawyer during the campaign but was in
the White House sitting next to President Trump when a lot of decisions
are being made he knows a lot of potentially a lot to tell and that again
just inches closer to President Trump a really circle is around and I remember
Rebecca when the indictments came down against mana for Rick gates and George
papadopolis the George papadopolis element was the one that surprised all
of us but the Pres his legal team the White House folks
were trying to say well the mana Fortin gates they were a part of the campaign
and Papadopoulos he was the coffee boy or whatever however they described him
even though he was seated at that table at that National Security Advisory Board
meeting Michael Flynn you can't write him off exactly and so it's as Sunland
said the question of closeness to the president you can't get much closer than
Michael Flynn and it's worth remembering and certainly I'm sure Moeller and his
team will not forget but the president continued to praise Michael Flynn even
after he fired him after he was out of the White House after it had been shown
that he was lying publicly about relations or contacts he had had with
Russians so very significant that we are getting closer and closer to the
president and his top advisors they're not able to argue that there was any
distance between him and Michael Flynn as they were with mana Ford even though
he was his campaign manager obviously a key role in the campaign Islam we don't
think Michael Flynn is going to be Person of the Year at least not at this
stage but the president seems to be very concerned about who's going to be the
Person of the Year knee he seems to be lobbying and campaigning for it Phil
Mudd I don't recall a President of the United States a sitting president
lobbying and campaigning to be on the cover of Time magazine but here's the
tweet from President Trump short while ago Time magazine called to say that I
was probably going to be named man Person of the Year like last year but I
would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot I said probably is
no good and took a pass thanks anyway this guy is the most prominent
individual on the planet that is the president eights and he's angling for
more publicity he's going to levar ball whatever was a week ago saying you know
it wasn't the Chinese who did this it wasn't the State Department it was me
who got your kid out last I checked the United States did not
imprison live our balls kid that was the Chinese and it was Chinese President and
let him out what I can't figure out is if you're the most photographed one
photographed individuals on the planet one of the most profiled individuals on
the planet why are you angling to say I need one more magazine cover it
indicates more about psychology than anything else I think I think we can
read a lot into President Trump here I already know he's very sensitive we
already know he likes good PR around him and this has been a touchy issue and
he's already kind of laying the groundwork for if he doesn't get Time
magazine Person of the Year to say no I took a pass on it also highlights he
says in his suite that you would have had to agree to an interview and major
photo shoot it highlights the fact that the president has not sent down with
mainstream media and quite a lot yeah and he was person of the year last year
so isn't once enough you know and also I mean let somebody else have a chance
right maybe it's Robert Muller's turn maybe it will be molar this year I would
think that that would get under the president's skin they're not being
Person of the Year himself but you're right he has been Person of the Year
he's been featured in Person of the Year magazine editions before Matthew
Rosenberg what's the betting over a time at the New York Times on time Person of
the Year you know we're gonna be pretty upset if Muller starts giving interviews
for Person of the Year but he's definitely not talking to us and we
would like to talk to him
