Jack Quinn: Memo from Flynn’s Lawyers Suggests that He Has More Secrets to Tell

RUSH TRANSCRIPT SCIUTTO Michael ░░░░░░░░ is looking for leniency ░░░░░░░░ has asked a federal ░░░░░░░░ to ease travel restrictions ░░░░░░░░ him so he can ░░░░░░░░ back between Rhode Island ░░░░░░░░ he s from and ░░░░░░░░ D C Flynn was ░░░░░░░░ asked to surrender his ░░░░░░░░ but has been approved ░░░░░░░░ a pre planned international ░░░░░░░░ Let s bring in ░░░░░░░░ white House counsel under ░░░░░░░░ Clinton administration His court ░░░░░░░░ a couple of weeks ░░░░░░░░ was a tough one ░░░░░░░░ seems he went in ░░░░░░░░ expecting no jail time ░░░░░░░░ got upgraded by the ░░░░░░░░ who did not like ░░░░░░░░ implying he was trapped ░░░░░░░░ lying rather than lying ░░░░░░░░ his own free will ░░░░░░░░ judge said by the ░░░░░░░░ you can t go ░░░░░░░░ than 15 miles away ░░░░░░░░ D C He d ░░░░░░░░ for a request here ░░░░░░░░ this the type of ░░░░░░░░ a judge like this ░░░░░░░░ grant QUINN I think ░░░░░░░░ is fairly routine He ░░░░░░░░ going to Rhode Island ░░░░░░░░ family travel He s ░░░░░░░░ a flight risk I ░░░░░░░░ t believe But the ░░░░░░░░ fact that there were ░░░░░░░░ imposed on him is ░░░░░░░░ indication as to how ░░░░░░░░ judge Sullivan was with ░░░░░░░░ Flynn And you can ░░░░░░░░ possibly overstate the judge ░░░░░░░░ unhappiness with his behavior ░░░░░░░░ mean he compared himself ░░░░░░░░ George Papadopoulos a relative ░░░░░░░░ in the business of ░░░░░░░░ the business of politics ░░░░░░░░ certainly knew nothing about ░░░░░░░░ law Michael Flynn is ░░░░░░░░ former senior intelligence official ░░░░░░░░ the intelligence agency and ░░░░░░░░ as the audacity to ░░░░░░░░ around and say oh ░░░░░░░░ I didn t know ░░░░░░░░ was improper to lie ░░░░░░░░ the FBI Nobody warned ░░░░░░░░ I mean that was ░░░░░░░░ offensive to judge Sullivan ░░░░░░░░ you know he was ░░░░░░░░ the brick back at ░░░░░░░░ QUINN So another message ░░░░░░░░ the judge had for ░░░░░░░░ which was interesting was ░░░░░░░░ listen the more you ░░░░░░░░ going forward the better ░░░░░░░░ you which is interesting ░░░░░░░░ the special counsel s ░░░░░░░░ leading to that sentencing ░░░░░░░░ made it clear that ░░░░░░░░ has been pretty cooperative ░░░░░░░░ far What does the ░░░░░░░░ should we read that ░░░░░░░░ from the judge Is ░░░░░░░░ more from Michael Flynn ░░░░░░░░ give QUINN That s ░░░░░░░░ how I read it ░░░░░░░░ mean the whole proceeding ░░░░░░░░ bizarre The fact that ░░░░░░░░ essentially you know pled ░░░░░░░░ he had either in ░░░░░░░░ assistance of counsel or ░░░░░░░░ know was away when ░░░░░░░░ comes to these proceedings ░░░░░░░░ yeah I think that ░░░░░░░░ Sullivan believes that Michael ░░░░░░░░ has more to give ░░░░░░░░ Sullivan knows a lot ░░░░░░░░ about this case than ░░░░░░░░ and I do He ░░░░░░░░ doesn t know as ░░░░░░░░ as special counsel Mueller ░░░░░░░░ he knows an awful ░░░░░░░░ about the case And ░░░░░░░░ I I think it ░░░░░░░░ hard not to interpret ░░░░░░░░ behavior in the courtroom ░░░░░░░░ day as suggesting that ░░░░░░░░ s not yet satisfied ░░░░░░░░ Michael Flynn has done ░░░░░░░░ he can Now by ░░░░░░░░ way I think that ░░░░░░░░ sentencing memo that Flynn ░░░░░░░░ lawyers submitted suggested that ░░░░░░░░ hasn t gotten religion ░░░░░░░░ the idea of truthfulness ░░░░░░░░ mean that you know ░░░░░░░░ audacity of that memo ░░░░░░░░ suggested that the FBI ░░░░░░░░ abusive in how they ░░░░░░░░ him and poor Michael ░░░░░░░░ he had no idea ░░░░░░░░ in itself was an ░░░░░░░░ approach in court that ░░░░░░░░ And that I think ░░░░░░░░ in part what the ░░░░░░░░ reacted to But it ░░░░░░░░ suggest to the judge ░░░░░░░░ it suggests to me ░░░░░░░░ Michael Flynn has one ░░░░░░░░ more secrets still to ░░░░░░░░ SCIUTTO And it was ░░░░░░░░ a moment in that ░░░░░░░░ just to remind the ░░░░░░░░ made Michael Flynn and ░░░░░░░░ lawyers repeatedly yes I ░░░░░░░░ no there was no ░░░░░░░░ by the FBI It ░░░░░░░░ quite striking It was ░░░░░░░░ being called up to ░░░░░░░░ front of the classroom ░░░░░░░░ your teacher I m ░░░░░░░░ going to ask you ░░░░░░░░ speculate what Robert Mueller ░░░░░░░░ going to do A ░░░░░░░░ of people have speculated ░░░░░░░░ they have been wrong ░░░░░░░░ Mueller does his job ░░░░░░░░ doesn t let anything ░░░░░░░░ out But as a ░░░░░░░░ with a lot of ░░░░░░░░ including with independent counsels ░░░░░░░░ you see this getting ░░░░░░░░ to a conclusion QUINN ░░░░░░░░ look I will say ░░░░░░░░ with certainty I think ░░░░░░░░ all of the people ░░░░░░░░ in the legal community ░░░░░░░░ in the media who ░░░░░░░░ predicted an imminent end ░░░░░░░░ the Mueller investigation have ░░░░░░░░ dead wrong I think ░░░░░░░░ is no basis for ░░░░░░░░ that any of them ░░░░░░░░ right today I think ░░░░░░░░ put your finger on ░░░░░░░░ Robert Mueller is proceeding ░░░░░░░░ to get to do ░░░░░░░░ job And we don ░░░░░░░░ know how long that ░░░░░░░░ take But he s ░░░░░░░░ going to be he ░░░░░░░░ not going to be ░░░░░░░░ up at some game ░░░░░░░░ He s interesting in ░░░░░░░░ his mission which is ░░░░░░░░ make a determination whether ░░░░░░░░ was coordination between the ░░░░░░░░ campaign and Russia and ░░░░░░░░ to get to the ░░░░░░░░ point of the investigations ░░░░░░░░ have spun out of ░░░░░░░░ Russia investigation of which ░░░░░░░░ are many So I ░░░░░░░░ don t believe that ░░░░░░░░ are on the brink ░░░░░░░░ a report from the ░░░░░░░░ counsel s office I ░░░░░░░░ it has some ways ░░░░░░░░ go SCIUTTO OK QUINN ░░░░░░░░ m a betting man ░░░░░░░░ I wouldn t bet ░░░░░░░░ this one SCIUTTO Well ░░░░░░░░ is fair advice Thanks ░░░░░░░░ much QUINN You bet ░░░░░░░░ you.”
