going on lindsey graham they're going to call on you to step down as next chairman it's a really tough call for schumer. it's one thing when the first us group that came out calling for diane feinsteindemanding justice which is this group approached to trumps nominees and it's a relatively new group . when you have this person, this major group and kind of the democratic coalition stepping up to call for his resin resignation that becomes verytough . so i think even if democrats win back the white house and senate, it's not going to be peachy keen. there's going to be a lot of internal divisions and arguments that we haven't even begun to see and we are starting to now with the turmoil over feinstein.

>> this is alex bolton's story on the hill website, you can see it in the reporter for the publication and thank you for your time this morning . >> accu. >> joining us, the president of judicial watch is thompson, he serves as the president of judicial watch.org here to talk about issues of the russian investigation . >> thanks for having me. >> remind viewers about the purpose of your organization and tell our viewers how you are funded. >> judicial watch is wfunded through voluntary donations from the american people, where a nonprofit educational foundation . that tries to bring more transparency and accountability and the rule of law to our nation's public life. >> one of those issues of transparency your organization spent a lot of time with previous and up-to-date is that of just looking into the russian investigation and the background. remind people i guess because we heard about it a lot but remind people again what was essentially your take on what was done in thatinvestigation .

>> my take is that the obama administration and hillary clinton campaign were nervous about the legal issues surrounding hillary clinton's emails and frankly other misconduct of the obama administrationin 2016 . as it related to hillary clinton's emails and then as it related to targeting president trump . so they double down on it . manufactured false allegations against president trump to excuse unprecedented spy operations and then later criminal investigations of trump and his team. >> as far as all that investigation, what substantially came out of it? i know we saw the mueller report eventually but as far as the look into the investigation what evidence as we found ? t >> recently we have information that our intelligence community and intelligence that the russians evidently listening to hillary clinton and company knew that hillary

clinton was making it all up or was trying to disabuse these russian collusion allegations that were fanciful to distract the american people from her email allegations was brief to the president of the united states barack obama and it was actually referred to the fbi for further investigation it obviously not much was done with. >> as far as the release of information one of the things people were looking for if they were following the story was somethingcalled the durham report and releases from that . what was that report and what wasreleased from ? >> durham has released anything. there have been disclosures from the office of national intelligence, judicial watch for r instance, judicial watch received the documents about what was going on but durham has had one prosecution/plea deal and not much else.

>> so i think thewashington post reported lastweek as far as investigations, there's still no criminal charges or public report . why do you think that is ? >> you have to ask the justice department. i think it's a real disappointment . durham was appointed in april 2019. as far as i'm concerned there's no excuse for the lack of action . i'm not seeing evidence that he's done a serious investigation. let's say compare and contrast to mueller's investigation. you saw what a significant dc criminal investigationlooks like . you've gotgrand jury's operating , all the serious seindicia of a criminal investigation, none of that is present in the durham operation. >> in most recent days, you've probably seen this as well . set up to as far as the authorization of classification of sorts . talk about that, what resulted from it and what do you expect from it. >> he said he was ordering

everything in relation to the russia probe as well and hillary clinton'semails we are heavily involved in . the justice department hasn't done anything area that haven't released anything. they told us this has no meaning legally. i don't know whether that's or legally right or true but my question is why is the justice department and state department, all these agency continuing to cover up documents and this is not like required by law, it usually discretionary despite the president wishes to the contrary. >> when you use the word cover-up, who's behind the cover-up and are you pointing to let directly to the president's people appointed by thepresident to handle these issues ? >> someone like vista barre is responsible, attorney general bar is responsible, they know these documents are out there but they don't have much interest in releasing them in a timely way.

>> i suppose that that's not the first time to askthis question but as far as the timing so far out from the russian investigation why do you think that matters today ? >> as i call it the coup is still going on. you stillhave a legal leak targetingpresident trump of classified information. what took place during the russia investigation was a crime inmy view . the more information we have about . the more accountability there will be . certainly it's not sufficient to get a criminal investigation or prosecution going but if we don't know what they did there's going to be zero public for pressure on the justice department the room to see when not because only now are we learning some key aspects about the corruption behind russia gate. >> such as have. >> that brennan new and barack obama knew specifically that the russia gate smears were just that and that they were contacted

by the clinton campaign to target trump and we've known that generally and just in the last few months we have information about going back to the beginning that flynn was knowingly and falsely targeted for prosecution by the obama administration and then the mueller operation. we're only hearing aboutthat in the last few months .did jerome know about this early on and if he did why hasn't .e acted on it >> this is tom. joining us and if you want to ask them questions give us a call. if you want on the phone lines, as far as our discussion from thompson, the latest entry into related matters are these series of stories coming out of the new york post. on its face what do you think of them? y >> they confirm that there is significant corruption with

the way biden and his family were operating during his vice presidency, probably before that that they were trading on his name, trading on his office to line their pockets. that's what the evidence shows and it shows you why. given what went on, let's forget about impeachment and the coup attack on president trump earlier in the year. the president asked a question or two of ukrainians about what was going on with biden and there is not and they went crazy, his political operas opposition. he was onto something and probably even bigger than he knew. >> when you say that it confirms, how do you clarify that ? how do you qualify that? >> vice president biden admitted to firing or having fired -- >> we take you live to a look

now at how the pandemic is intensifying the effects of this information on communities of color hosted by george washington university. >> six times more likely to require hospitalization. black americans that section is 2.6 times higher, hospitalization is 4.7 times greater and the death rate, 2.1 times that of white americans. unfortunately, this information about and discussed in our medical system lays a significant role in these outcomes. last monday, i had the pleasure of speaking with doctor lena when, an emergency physician and visiting professor of health, policy and management at the george washington university milliken institute school of public health. doctor when previously served as health commissioner for the city of baltimore where she led the nations oldest continuously operating health department to fight the opioid epidemic, improve maternal and child health
