Focus Grows On Michael Flynn And Jeff Sessions As Robert Mueller Probe Advances | AM Joy | MSNBC In this YouTube segment from "AM Joy" featuring Joy Reid, the focus is on the advancing Robert Mueller probe and its implications for key figures like Michael Flynn and Jeff Sessions. The discussion highlights the investigation's increased scrutiny on Flynn, who was a national security adviser and is now facing charges related to his interactions with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential campaign, particularly after revelations about his lobbying activities for Turkey. The video underscores the mounting evidence suggesting that Flynn and his son may soon face indictment. Joy Reid and her panel, including Congressman Ted Lieu, dissect the confusion surrounding Sessions' responses to Congress about his knowledge of Russia-related activities within the Trump campaign. Lieu asserts that Sessions has likely committed perjury, given his multiple interactions with campaign advisers and Russian officials, which contradict his claims of ignorance. This discussion is set against the backdrop of Trump’s ongoing pressure on Sessions regarding the investigation and looming questions about the integrity of the Justice Department under his influence. The panelists address the constitutional implications of Trump possibly firing Sessions to obstruct the investigation and highlight the bipartisan concern regarding the rule of law. Reid's conversation illuminates the deeper political ramifications as the investigation continues to unfold, suggesting that the push for accountability within the political sphere remains critical for maintaining democratic integrity.
