It's hard to imagine two FBI agents ending up in the sit-room.

How did that happen?

I sent them.

Something I probably wouldn't have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation,

a more organized administration, in the George W. Bush administration, for example,

or the Obama administration, the protocol, two men that all of us have perhaps increased

appreciation for over the last two years. And in both of those administrations, there was

process. And so if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official,

you would work through the White House counsel, and there'd be discussions and approvals, and who would be there.

And I thought it's early enough.

Let's just send a couple guys over.

And so we placed a call to Flynn,

said, hey, we're sending a couple guys over. Hope you'll talk to them. He said, sure. Nobody else was there. They interviewed him in a conference room at the White House Situation Room, and he lied to

them.

And that's what he's now played guilty to.

What did he think they were coming over there for?

I don't think he knew. I know we didn't tell him.

Just said we've got to send it over a couple of agents. I want to ask you some questions.

I didn't have this conversation. My deputy director did.
