‘My lord’: MSNBC’s Mika gasps when ex-FBI official explains Mike Flynn may have worn a wire with Trump

“I think, in fact, that underneath these redactions, if we were to lift these black magic marker points out, we would see people with the last name Trump or Kushner,” Figliuzzi said. “That’s my gut, that’s how this reads. I believe the extensive redaction is a reflection of that level of sensitivity.”

Figliuzzi said the heavy redactions were out of character for Mueller, who typically issued highly detailed filings that revealed the scope of his evidence in specific cases — and the former FBI official explained why that should worry the president.

“It’s part of a deliberate strategy to lock in the information before he’s possibly taken out,” he said. “What did we see yesterday? We saw the opposite of that, we saw lots of redaction. You do that in the FBI either when you have classified information or you are at such a sensitivity level that you cannot expose it.”

“We see reference here to quick cooperation by Flynn,” Figliuzzi said. “What does that mean? Did it happen in what we call the golden hour, where you could even wire somebody up and have him share communications in real time?”

And in Cohen.

The 7 letters in kushner, ok, but i think this might be a reach given the people we know were involved with 5 letter last names.

That Flynn could pick his job at the White House. Any. Job. He. Wanted.

He was held in high esteem. Danger lies ahead for the Trumps.

about Flynn. Wait for the Republicans to claim double secret fake out. Obama knew that Trump would do the opposite of what he recommended.

Flynn wearing a wire was a subject of speculation here at DU and in the media some time ago. Mika at least pretends to be in the news business and presumably they have researchers. Mika, pay attention! If not for your own sake try to keep up for your viewers.

Was Michael Flynn asked to wear a wire in Mueller hunt for evidence on Russia?
