economy. charles: here's lou. lou: good evening, everybody. we're following breaking news tonight. president trump tonight says he is willing to speak with special counsel robert mueller under oath saying, quote, i'm looking forward to it. the president telling reports that he expects to speak with mueller in two to three weeks. but added that his legal team is working out the specifics. the president's comments come as an unidentified informant is revealing stunning corruption at the fbi and justice department. that informant part of the investigation bay the senate homeland security committee, its chairman is senator ron johnson. and the senator has made it clear his committee is now nfts

gaitininvestigating the fbi. the so-called secret society, all who were working to subvert president trump. >> we have an informant that's talking about a group that were holding secret meetings off site. there is so much smoke here. this is bias, potentially corruption at the highest levels of the fbi that we're now investigating. and by the way, robert mueller used to run the fbi. he is in no position to do an investigation over this kind of misconduct. lou: all of this as robert mueller has gone on the defensive over the past few days. the special counsel office showing brazen a toward presidet trump and his administration. and as questions mount about the political corruption of mueller's conflicted team of partisans, the leaks from the special counsel's office have become more frequent, as evidence of the highly partisan leadership of both the justice

department and the fbi spill into the public arena. the house intel committee, the senate homeland security committee among those revealing names of a number of justice and fbi officials who were working in the interest of president obama, hillary clinton and against donald trump. both as can date an candidate a. we'll be talking with christopher rel of judicial watch and greg jarrett also tonight within president trump issuing a straightforward warning to cryin' chuck, the same senator who renege on his pledge to ensure border security in any border immigration deal. he now insists, does senator schumer, that there will be no wall for president trump to bargain for. the president's response direct, no wall, no daca. and the president making it absolutely clear on the issues of border security and immigration, he will be the one

leading the nation our top story tonight, corruption at the fbi and justice department, congress saying it will investigate the agencies following revelation of a secret society. and after revelations of five months of missing text messages between anti-trump officials. all of this as the number of leaks from mueller's special counsel office rise as investigators' revelations of corruption at doj and the fbi rise as well. fox news chief intelligence correspondent katherine her rajg with our report. >> according to records, more than 20 white house personnel voluntarily gave interviews, eight people from the white house counsel's office. in all more than 20,000 pages of records were provided to the special counsel including issues

related to mike flynn in russia, as well as former fbi director james comey. fox news told all copies provided to capitol hill were provided to special counsel. a personal attorney for the president called the level of corroboration unprecedented as the probe enters a critical phase. senior intelligence officials from dan coats to mike pom a pay yo and mike rogers for interviewed by special counsel robert mueller is intensifying pressure on the white house. fox news can confirm that part of the special counsel's focus is the president's fire of james comey and mike flynn. a former justice department official under the bush administration said all signs point to an investigation reaching its climax. >> it's a good sign for the white house because if you think about it, this means that the probe by mueller will wrap up hopefully in less than a year, almost like light speed for a

federal information. >> the president's lawyer said that is special counsel interview is inevitable. but sources tell fox other witnesses, including jeff sessions who was questioned last week, the president's son-in-law can answer mueller's question. there ma may be no single issue that the u.s. president can explain. congressional scrutiny under director comey. >> they're the fbi, nobody is going to investigate them. well sorry, we are going to start investigating. >> the oversight committee is investigating a possible connection between the so-called secret society and whistle-blower claims. >> i have heard from somebody who has talked to the committee that they were holding off-site meetings. there were indications there were a number of high level fbi officials. >> johnson and the republican chairman chuck grassley want answers from the justice

department's watchdog, inspector whhoro wks itz. and why their committees were told by horowitz that their tests were recovered when they were missing. >> to find the text messages through other forms, whether it's the old phones, whether it's going to some of these technology companies that were involved and seeing if they have them. >> in a text made public last year, page and strzok talking about avoiding detection. page writes, look you say we text on that phone because it can't be traced. federal law enforcement officers tell fox the missing texts are part of a broader technical problem affecting 10% of the fbi's cell phones. at least one republican wants for answers from the former attorney general. >> what i do want is an attorney to fairly question folks like strzok and page and comey and lynch and others with the

benefit of all of the documents or as many as can be located. >> lou: thank you. the strzok page text, the fbi whizzing blower revealing the systemic corruption, collusion and obstruction within the fbi and the doj. and president trump today saying he's looking forward to an interview with special counsel robert mueller. our first guest tonight says the attorney general should publicly announce the creation of a doj/fbi task force and the impanelment of a grand jury. joining me tonight, chris farrell. it's great to see you. i want to take up a couple of things first if we may. first, the overall development,

the president saying he's now willing to sit down with mueller and have a conversation. your thoughts about the wisdom and the president's courage here. >> i'm sure the president is looking forward to it like he would a root canal, frankly. look, it's a mistake for him to testify or provide testimony to mueller. there's any number of ways to answer mueller's questions. mueller is out for the president to destabilize or to remove him. this is a perjury trap in the making flp's nothing in particular the president -- lou: by the way want which his lead attorney has acknowledged the possibility if not the primary intent of a perjury trap. >> the president's attorney should have a discussion with mr. mueller and have his exhaust every other possible source of information and every other investigative angle. i understand the president's position and i respect that he's willing to go under oath and

willing to talk to him. but really he should tell him just to drop dead. lou: and now we also learned through katherine's reporting, more than 20 white house personnel, this is amazing, not incleulgd campaign team members, 20 white house personnel, voluntarily giving interviews to the special counsel. eight people from the white house counsel's office. i mean this sounds egregious, sounds overreaching and it sounds really like a president who could be fighting the s.o.b., not accommodating him. >> i find it difficult to imagine that eight people from the white house counsel's office having interviews. just by the nature of the relationship, attorney-client privilege issues, there's presidential privilege issues. the president already has internal problems with mr. dillon providing the president with false and

misleading information concerning his authority to fire fbi director comey. dillon, you know, in a "the new york times" article, is profiled as deliberately misleading the president, which is astounding to me. so the notion that eight others, or eight additional people went over and provided testimony concerning the activities of the counsel's office, it's mind-boggling. lou: and thecy credit, as senator ron johnson has provided a window into the fbi, if you're the eyes and the voice of his unidentified informant. a secret society off-site meetings clearly plotting subversion. >> yeah. if you transfer this -- and let's say this all happened at the defense department. what word would you use. this would be a cue data. you have law enforcement

officers, sworn law enforcement officers engaged in this kind of activity. this is a direct threat to the constitution. it is -- lou: we don't know that this doesn't go beyond the doj departments and agencies into the national security division. it could go a number of places. it could reach, you know -- it's all speculation. but where it could reach does put this on the level of treason and it seems to me very clearly in a department that now is working against the interest of the united states of america. >> and meanwhile i have talked to three fbi agents who have told me this whole lost text message things with samsung is absolute bologna. that there's no way in the world this could have happened. that the fbi actively monitors agents' communications both from

the insider threat and counter intelligence perspective and that their backups have backups. so three different sources have told me there's no way in hell that it's possible that someone is deliberately sabotaging this or deliberately deleting or lying. lou: or somebody has culled through all of the text messages, has found evidence that would embarrass the department of justice, the fbi and would reveal perhaps everything from the making of violent threats against the president to extraordinary venom against the president and his administration. >> and lou, you know, we've already caught -- judicial watch caught the irs and state department lying about missing and deleted e-mails and texts. so this is nothing new. this is, you know, the fourth or fifth, maybe the sixth time the government has been caught in a lie like this.

and the danger that you pointed out is that this is a threat to the constitution. it's a threat to the presidency. this is not just partisan poll politics. this undermines the american people's krfd of the government officials upholding the constitution. there is no graver threat in my memory. lou: let's talk about what the appropriate solution is here. i know that, you know, as you're suggesting, judicial watch has sued for the strzok/page text messages. >> correct. lou: what do you -- how soon do you think they would be produced and will they be produced by the government or will it be produced by carriers, for example? what would be the source? >> the way we've sued is under the freedom of information act. so the burden is upon the government to produce these records. they've already produced some to congress as we know from reporting. but what we want to be sure is that they're all produced. and the only way to do that is

to get in front of a federal judge. and then once the production begins to us, do a compare and contrast to make sure that the full record is out there. lou: chris farrell, everyone watching and listening to you, i'm saying good luck and god speed. this is getting worse by the day. we appreciate it. chris farrell, judicial watch. we're coming back with much more stay with us. trump warning pro-am necessity chuck schumerer or crying chuck as he's known at the white house that if there is no wall, there is no daca. >> the president is guaranteed he's going to build a wall and that's what he plans to do. >> we take up the president's four-point plan to secure or border and reform imnation next. all hell about to break open as congress unleashes an investigation. we'll have the latest for you on

the investigation of the inve

lou: a lot happening tonight. breaking news on the classified intelligence memo. detailing fisa surveillance abuses within the fbi and justice department. the house intel committee.

fox news maz just acquired a memorandum delivered from the department of justice to the house intel committee. it attacks the very thought that the committee would release that memo to the american public. the letter reads in part, we believe it would be extraordinarily reckless for the committee to discloses such information publicly without giving the department and the fbi the opportunity to review the memorandum. my, my, my. the justice department doesn't want us to read that memo. let's move on if we could, please. harvard law profes fer, a demeanorprofes are, ademocrat w. joining us greg jarrett. thanks for being here. let's start with first the justice department trying to deny the public's right to know.

>> well they've lost all credibility having lost integrity and they don't want the public to see their own wrongdoing, which is why they're trying to cover it up. fortunately it's not up to the doj. as long as the intel committee votes in committee to release it, the president then has five day to say no. this president will surely say yes. it will become, i guarantee you this memo will become public, notwithstanding what doj wants. lou: well, turning to what the doj is doing here, the fact they even wrote that memorandum is absolutely stupid. and apparently they would have to have the attorney general's permission to do it, would they not? >> well jeff sessions long ago lost all control of the department of justice. it's now being run by the likes of rod rosenstein who has serious political bias. we already know that. what's interesting is that this memo will likely show crimes committed by the fbi and the doj by going to a fisa judge seeking

a warrant based on a false document in the dossier. that's a crime called abuse of power. ten years punishment behind bars. lou: so when do the arrests start? >> should have happened yesterday or last week. whenever it happened, it should have been found out. but it was hidden for a long time. lou: hidden and i hope that's also a federal crime. >> sure. lou: and michael, horowitz, is it horowitz? >> yeah. lou: we've been imprinted with this idea that igs are beyond conflict, political partisan. but at the same time we're not hearing much from him. and his desk is overflowing with charges and potential charges. where are we going for the solution here? >> well, i think you will see some pretty solid results from horowitz, the inspector general

the department of justice. the report is expected out sometime in january, february. lou: that's my problem. >> the other thing to look for is the intelligence committee report, which will also be coming out following the release of this four-page memo. lou: which we think could come as early, with the president eats approval, as early as next week. >> when congress comes back, i think on monday, then they'll begin considering and voting. lou: here we are with a constitutional crisis, possible alan durs wits says, if the general counsel goes after the president on obstruction of justy. we have the president announcing tonight he's willing to sit down and talk with the man under oath. he's not following your advice. >> he is not but he has no choice, quite frankly. executive privilege only applies to protections from congress, not from a legitimate potential

prosecution armed with a grand jury. the best the president can do is have his lawyers limit the scope of it. but in the end the president could be forced to testify in front of a grand jury if he wants to avoid that. lou: let me review the bidding. we now have a justice department that appears to be corrupt with numerous officials at the very top of the justice department. >> right. lou: we have an fbi in which the same thing appears to be the case. there is no action under way, criminal action against those who have -- it is reasonably believed defrauded a fisa court and have surveilled u.s. citizens unlawfully. and he has to put up with a general counsel, he the president, that is conflicted as any person involved in this corrupt mess over justice and the fbi. >> he'll end up talking to mueller and he will say, i don't know any russians.

i never collaborated or colluded with them. as for obstruction of justice, i never tried to interfere in an investigation. i followed the advice of rod rosenstein who wrote a memo telling me to fire commie and under the constitution i can fire anybody in the federal branch for a reason or no reason at all, period. lou: and if it's obstruction of justice, it's a constitutional crisis. >> that, sir, is absolutely right. this is not obstruction of justice. lou: all right. great to have you with us. thank you. be sure to vote in the poll. the question tonight, do you believe the top officials ap the fbi and department of justice have lost the trust of the american people? we want to hear from you. cast your vote on twitter. follow me on twitter with, like me on facebook, follow me on instagram. on wall street stocks closed mixed by the dow gained 41 points closing at a new record high. the s&p lost 2, nasdaq down 45,

lou: jo scarborough and mika brzezinski, those are two names you don't hear me mention much, the host of the left wing "morning joe" they've been attacking, ridiculing president trump from the very beginning of his campaign for the presidency.

and this morning they got a little irksome taking aim at this broadcast and me for daring to report on the growings scandal of the fbi corruption, the department of justice corruption and the very idea that that should offend the rule of law and democracy in this country. >> there is a declared lou dobbs said it, a declared war from the right on the fbi and the justice department. what do the directors of news corp think when they have lou to bees on the aitodobs on the airs the time to go to war with the fbi and the justice department. lou: declaring. do you like that? declaring. joe, work on it. you know, good grief. i've got to tell you, first

everything that i say on this broadcast is backed up by fact. and what is opinion, it's my opinion based on those facts. and joining me now to sort through all of this, former reagan white house political director, fox business contributor, joe scarborough. my, my, my, he doesn't like the fact they would, or any other american citizen for that matter, would be offended by an fbi that's losing thousands of text messages just as congress, in its oversight role is demanding them, that its agents are anti-trump, at least a number of them. it's officials obviously carrying great a an mouse toward the president. >> basically marying his cohost there once their divorces are final. and at the end of the day she comes out of a long line of democrat family. her father was jimmy carter's

national security adviser. they thought they were going to be trump's great friends because they said nice things about him during the course of the campaign. now they do nothing but criticize him and they basically think that -- lou: what about the very idea that they seem to think as elitists of the left that a citizen -- by the way, i also am responsible for that in my day-to-day work, to look at the facts and report my opinion, my analysises and my view. to suggest that you cannot criticize the fbi and doj when they're out of control is nuts. >> equally important what you're reporting is what the united states senators are basically looking deeply into. lou: i mean we've got five congressional committees and a four-page memo that we're told will demonstrate that this. >> just remember -- lou: we're supposed to whisper it. >> "morning joe" is a

entertainment show that competes with the other entertainment shows. i think you're a news show and you're reporting on what's going on. lou: we're an opinion show. >> and every american should be concerned on what's going on in the fbi. you have not cast aspersions on the people there. you cast aspersions on the facts that are coming forth every day. lou: i even said last night. i'm tired of making an exception for the rank and file. we think we know that there is one rank and file special agent attorney of the fbi who stepped forward as a whistle-blower. think of that. you're talking tens of thousands of employees in that rancid corrupt led organization right now and one person steps up to say to america, you can't put up with this anymore. this is what's really going on. that's just wrong. >> and i think the reality is when you're as old as i am, there was a 40-year history when

j. edgar hoover ran it. it was a terrible agency. so it's not like it's some new innocent thing. my sense is that i would hope it get cleaned up but it didn't totally. lou: look at where we're headed here. the president sitting down with mueller against the wishes of many. >> me too. >> who feel it's -- first of all, it honors a man who right now looks to be connected and conflicted and in association with a corrupt doj leadership and a corrupt fbi leadership. >> well, i'd like to know where mueller is going. this is obviously supposed to be a russian investigation. lou: we know there's no evidence of a russian. >> there's no evidence of that. and i agree with professor dershowitz, there's going to be a serious conflict here and a separation of power. and i think to a certain extent mueller is going way over his

skis and isn't going to find anything. i think the president has to be very very careful. lou: he seems to be on a determined course to aid in the subversion of this administration, this president because his attack is on the president himself. >> well, the absurdity of asking mccabe what voted, i was a political director of the white house. i asked every single appointment what their registration was. mccabe was a deputy, a civil service job. he was becoming the acting director. lou: being interviewed. >> a presidential appointee. lou: making it entirely legitimate. by the way, you would think that the president would in all fairness have some people who work for him asking those kinds of questions. >> he did not. that was my job when i worked there. lou: my phone ought to be ringing right now for ed rollins. you think we're going to get to the bottom of this soon? >> i hope so. lou: we all hope so.

i'm asking you. >> i think we are. but it's not because of people like "morning joe." it's because of people like you. lou: "morning joe" wouldn't want lou: "morning joe" wouldn't want tooooooh snap!!eathers. every truck guy has their own way of conveying powerful. yeeaaahhh boy. kind of looks like a monster coming to eat ya. holy smokes. that is awesome. strong. you got the basic, and you got the beefy. i just think it looks mean. incredible. no way. start your year off strong a new chevy truck. get a total value of over $9,600 on this silverado all star when you finance with gm financial. find new roads at your local chevy dealer.

lou: back with me now, chris mer rale, director of investigations and research for judicial watch and fox news legal analyst greg jarrett. i want to ask both of you this

question, and that is the judiciary committee and their role here and how important is it, should they want to and succeed, in talking to james comey again? >> they need to put comey under oath because it appears as though he made two false statements. first of all he said, the day he exonerated hillary clinton that nobody at the department of justice, including loretta lynch knew anything about the decision. now we know the text messages from strzok and page show that lynch knew. was comey lying. the second is he testified before the house committee a year ago that he made the decision to exonerate clinton only after she was interviewed. now we know from documents that he changed the wording to exonerate her three weeks before she was cleared. that appears to have been a false statement by comey. if so, he lied to congress. that's a crime. lou: and chris, your thoughts?

>> greg nailed it. he's exactly correct. but i think that mr. comey will decline to even appear. lou: is that his -- it's impossible to force him to testify. >> well you can slap him with a subpoena. lou: and with a subpoena he has to show up. but does he at that point have to -- he's still got constitutional rights, right? >> he can take the fifth and refuse to testify. >> or he'll put himself in a position that attorney general holder was put in where he'll be held in contempt of congress and you saw how far that went. lou: absolutely. this is getting to be a huge number of people from the white house who have testified, who have been interviewed by the investigating special counsel's office. the president himself, as we have talked about, is saying he's willing to discuss it all with the special counsel.

i'm trying thinking, the presids thinking dealing with a special counsel who is highly questionable in terms of his own integrity and his refusal to recuse himself from a deeply conflicted role. chris? >> with respect to the 20 people being interviewed at the white house, 20 times zero is still zero, right? if they don't do anything and there was no, you know, vast deep conspiracy with the russians, which oftion there ofe wasn't twb you could only ask the same question so many times and get the same answer. what i'm concerned about is what we chatted about briefly before, and that is the president putting himself in a position where mr. mueller and others will do everything they can to take him down. they want his removal. we shouldn't kid ourselves. or they're going after the scalp of someone in his family, like

his son-in-law jared kushner. lou: .>> i agree with chris. i have yet to meet a prosecutor who cares about justice. they care about indictments and convictions, their one loss record and that's it. >> correct. lou: and this business about opposing the release by the white house intel committee of the four-page memorandum that is apparently earth shaking in its content and specificity about corruption and subversion within doj and the fbi, out comes this memorandum from the justice department saying we oppose the release of that to the american public. chris, this is the attorney general speaking. he had to approve that. >> i hope the president of the united states during the state of the union reads it during his address. i want -- lou: the memorandum. i see. trying to figure that one out for just a second.

>> no. i want the four-page memo, i want him to read it as part of his state of the union address. you want to understand the state of the union, look at the department of justice and the fbi, read that memo. he'll be briefing the american pub ling. he will educate them on what the real state of the union is. lou: that's a great point, chris. >> nixon said it's never the crime, it's the coverup. in this case with the department of justice and the fbi, it's both. crimes and coverups. lou: thank you. appreciate it. up next, the president is set to leave for davos in moments, looking to advance his america first agenda to the gathered group of globalists. vi a few thoughti have a few th. a lion's den doesn't work with the alps does it? i'll be working ♪ (nadia white) the moment a fish is pulled out from the water,

lou: tonight, president trump will be trading in the d.c. swamp for higher ground, headed for davos in the swiss alps. for a year this president has been battling and beating rhino establishment republicans, obstructionists dems, the deep state, the left-wing national media in washington, d.c. and soon he will boldly step onto an establishment favorite

site, the annual meeting of the globalist elite. the president has a tough audience there for the next two days in davos as he sells america first to the assemble global elitists of business and government who demand open borders, unfettered free trade, no matter the cost to america and multilateralism. they're trying to undermine president trump before he's even arrived. germ man chancellor angela merkel didn't have the guts to name him as she rail against anymore in the alps. she ridiculed the idea of a nation that would build a wall to secure its borders, even though dozens of countries have done exactly that and secured their borders in the doing. merkel even advanced the notion of handing over our national sovereignty to the corrupt united nations. what a brilliant woom she is,

don't you think? but he didn't mention the united states shoulders 22% to have u.n. budget, germany chips in 6%. she didn't brag about the european union's anemic growth rate, nor did she congratulate president trump for boosting america's gdp. and didn't mention the $8 trillion in the u.s. stock market. thanks to this president, his policies and most importantly his leadership. you can be sure the internationalists at davos will snacker and their will underestimate this president as almost everyone seems to do, just as did the d.c. swamp creatures. the president should have great fun in davos and the euro should have a great education in free markets, capitalism, free interprice, and yes in strong committed individual isic leadership in the national

interest. safe travels, mr. president. have a hoot our quotation of the evening, this one from president donald trump who said, quote, when america is united, america is totally unstoppable. up next, president trump blasting crying chuck schumer for taking border wall funding off of the table. the ante is liking to go higher. we'll take it up right after the liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

lou: in our online poll last night we asked do you think it's time to clear out the corrupt fbi and doj leadership. 97% of you say yes. joining me now, senior editor for "the federalist" mollie hemingway. molly, let's start with the president is insisting he will speak with a special counsel. the process seems well under way. your thoughts, your reaction. mollie: he said he would speak with him pursuant to what those attorneys recommend. i hope they are negotiating strict parameters. a year and a half into what is a well established conspiracy

thinky sort of a russian hoax. i think all the leaks that we have gotten from the special counsel's office indicate there isn't a there there and they are interested in coming up with something else to justify their probe. that's a trap, and he needs to be careful. i know he thinks he didn't do anything wrong, just talk to them. that's not the way it works, that's not how the fbi works. he needs to be careful. lou: as mollie is laying out the evidence before us, there is nothing that would support the collusion with russia charge against the president or as a candidate. but there is immense evidence that hillary clinton carried out a conspiracy and her supporters including the deep state within the fbi, the department of justice to not only alter the presidential election but to alister outcomes that would insnriewns not only her

candidacy, but that her opponent, president trump. >> look at fusion gps, and. now we wait with bated breath to find out what's inside of that nice a memo. all suggestions appear to be that the dossier was used in inappropriate ways to secure investigative tools to go after people in trump's orbit. the press has been weak in assess hog has been damaged. lou: i want to get a sense from you about your coverage of this immense story, the scandal, whatever you want to call it. but the absolute revelations about the -- the extraordinary behavior.

the department of justice, the fbi, the democratic party, the deep state. the national left-wing media is trying to suggest as we watched overand mika, they are -- as we watched joe and mika saying i declared war on the fbi. nothing even close to it. i said we have to secure the evidence because it's disappearing quickly, and sequester any evidence those to be charged have in their possession. mollie: official washington is in denial. this cuts to the heart of having a functional republic. it's entirely possible all of these strange coincidences and the use of a dossier to secure a wiretap, it could be they all have reasonable explanations. that would be unrealistic.
