- DISCUSSING SANCTIONS AND OTHER - ISSUES, BUT THE REALITY WAS THAT - SERGEI KISLYAK, THE AMBASSADORS - CONVERSATIONS, WE CAPTURED ON - FBI WIRETAPS, SO THEY KNEW THE - TRUTH OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND - I THINK IT WAS FRUSTRATING AND - ALARMING TO A T OF OFFICIALS - FLYNN WAS N - FORTHCOMING ABOUT THOSE - CONVERSATIONS. - JUDY: SO IF THEVIDENCE WAS SO - CLEAR THAT HE DID SOMETHING THAT - HE SAID HE HAD NOT DONE, WHAT - TOOK THIS CASE SO LONG? - WHY HAS IT BEEN DRAGGING OUT AS - NG AS IT HAS? - DEVLIN: IT I A THREE YEAR LEGAL - SAGA. - BEGAN ALMOST THREE YEARS - TODAY. - WEY ARE NEA AT THE THREE YEAR - HE PLED GUILTY AND AGREED TOEA. - COOPERATE WITH SPECIAL COUNSEL - BOB MUELLER. - THAT WAS A BIG MOMENT IN THE - INVESTIGATION. - YOU HAD SOMEONE IN THE INNER - CIRCLE WHO WAS GOING TO TELL - PROSECUTORS ABOUT WHAT HE KNEW

- ABOUT THE CONVERSATIONS BY TRUMP - AND CLOSE ADVISORS. - BUT WHAT HAPPENED AS TIME WENT - ON HIS FLYNN BECAME SOMETHING OF - A CAUSE CELEBRE ON THE RIGHT AND - A LOT OF FOCUS AND ANGER FROM - THE FBI THAT IN THE MIND OF MANY - CONSERVATIVES, THAT THE FBI WAS - TARGETING FLYNN AND OTHERS - AROUND TRUMP UNFAIRLY. - SO WHAT HAPPENED IS AFTER HIS - COOPERATION WAS LARGELY OVER AND - DONE WITH, HE GOT NEW LAWYERS - AND DECIDED TO TRY AND RESEND - HIS GUILTY PLEA. - THAT SET OFF A VERY LONG BATTLE - THAT HAS NOT REALLY BEEN - RESOLVED, ALTHOUGH THE PARDON - MAY END UP RESOLVING IT ON ITS - OWN. - THAT CREATED A LONG COURT BATTLE - THAT IS STILL ONGOINGNTIL WE - SAW THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE - PARDON TODAY. - JUDY: AS YOU POINT OUT, A LONG - AND MESSY SAGA. - TO WHAT EXTENT DOES THIS - UNDERMINE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT - AND THE ENTIRENVESTIGATION - TODAY, INCLUDING THE RUSSIAN - INVESTIGATION?

- OF THE LINE. - WHAT ARED YOU SAYING COPPEN - NOW? - DEVLIN: TO BE CLEAR, I SUSPECT - THE JUDGE IN THE CASE WILL NOT - ACCEPT THE PARDON SILTLY. - I THINK THE JUDGE WILL STILL - SPEAK TO HIS UNDERSTANDING OF - WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAP SHOULD - HAVENED. - A PARDON IS A PARDON AND THE - PRESIDENT'S POWER TO PARDON IS - VERY BROAD. - FLYNN'S LEGAL JEOPARDY MAY WELLH - BE OVER HIS. - I DO THINK HOWEVER, TO YAMICHE'S - POINT, WE COULD SEE A BUNCH MORE - YPARDONS. - IF LOOK AT THE STATEMENT THE - WHITE HOUSE PUT OUT THIS EVENING - ABOUT T PARDON, YOU COULD - APPLY THE SAME RATIONALE TO THE - INVESTIGATION, PROSECUTION AND - GUILTY PLEAS OF PNTY OF OTHER - FOLKS AROUND THE PRESIDENT - INCLUDING PAUL MANAFORT, GEORGE - PAPADOPOULOS - IF YOU FOLLOW THAT LOGIC, THERE - ARE PROBABLY OTHER PARDONS. - JUDY:N OTHER WORDS, WATCH THIS - SPACE. - DEVLIN BARRETT OF "THE
