>> susan rice facing questions about a e-mail she sent to herself their probe of russia election interference by the book. they want to know why susan rice took the time to send the e-mail on her final day of the white house. joining me now with his take. judge andrew napolitano good to see you. >> like wise. trish: what do you think? >> she writes on january 20, a memo to herself, memorializing
10:17 pm
she said happened 16 days earlier january 5. i suspect that she and the president and their colleagues in west wing learned something between the fifth and 20 that caused them to try t to rereconstruction history, we know that barack obama did not conduct this by the book, we know of the state department's involvement. of the democratic national committee involvement and fbi involvement. and same brac barack obama who d our own chris wallace, i have now communications with anyone in the justice department,. in 2016, potus wants to know all, that refers to
10:18 pm
investigation of candidate. there you. trump. trish: what do you think they could have learned? >> i think that president of united states was aware of when haze -- what his fbi was doing any their bias against donald trump and aware of their efforts to undermine his presidency. in 't he was aware that the state department was involved, he must have been aware of the unmasks of general flynn. the day after the secret recorded conversations between general mike flynn, soon to be chief national security adviser to then president elect president trump. and sergei kislyak. then ambassador to u.s. from russia have theseon conversations, the next day that appeared in the washington post, that is called computer hacking,
10:19 pm
that is a felony. did barack obama know what was being done in his name and his authority in west wing of the white house, how could he not know? trish: well, did he have a hand in it? >> we don't know, but we know his closest adviser in this e-mail that senator graham found today, or over the weekend, tried to white wash it make barack obama appear pure by just remind myself that 16 days ago, my boss said do everything by the book. something that was not happening by the book that is reason to recreate history. trish: how often do i think this has happened in history by various administrations? if it is what we think may have happened? could this have happened before? >> i have been a vocal sometimes too loud opponent of fisa, it is
10:20 pm
a flawed system, the court meets in secret there is only one side there, nobody toking which, -- to challenge it, my guess, my guess, speculation, it happens in every administration. seriousness is power on undermine a bon a bona fided government elect because the administration that was going out did not like the administration that was coming in. trish: that is scary stuff. >> it is. this is clear that there was a lot of forces in the obama field while high wa he was president t trying to prevent don from winning then trying to undermine his maintenance of was on the. trish: thank you.
10:21 pm

10:26 pm
trish: president trump unveiled his president trump infrastructure plan today. to rebuilding crumbling bridges and roads and other improvement project, plan stream lines process to speed up construction. joining me now. charlie hurts. is this what we need right now? something to help get the economy going more? tax reform, now infrastructure? >> it is amazing. you know what the president has accomplished in his first year. and the probably most important stuff is most don't see such as cutting the red tape, and making
10:27 pm
america open for business. if you are a conservative, if you are a fiscal conservative, and you want to see size of federal government shrink, things like infrastructure spending get a little bit hard to wrap our head around. but i have to say that this is what the president campaigned on, it should come as no surprise. and silver lining for me, you know democrats and republicans are all with government spending, maybe if he is successful in getting a big gang for the buck, maybe that will be a good thing. trish: stage manager said did he say what i think, he did. you know that is problem with washington, everyone wants to spend, spend. in part because you know, nobody wants to disappoint their skit constituents, perhaps opportunity for us to look at other programs he suggests that
10:28 pm
is what they are doing, disability, food stamps, increase that we've seen in people on all those. that hopefully can get reduced, perhaps a better economy have you that opportunity. >> an incredible amount of fraud in those programs, every time sensible republicans come forward to do something, democrats accuse them of being racist, or kicking people to the curb, remember that commercial throwing paul ryan throwing a grandma down a cliff, they freak out about this, it is appreciate to clean that stuff -- it is important to clean those things up. the president won last year by celebrating work. and celebrating people who work. and that is really the sort of linchpin that holds america together. not that we have program that help people, that is find whatever. but, getting people to work,
10:29 pm
people -- if you don't work you lose your dignity your perspective in life -- your purpose in life, work is good, to have a part committed to notion that somehow work is bad or industry is evil, that is not helpful. trish: no, i agree with you. very quickly. what do you think of democrat memo. been junked up with these things can't be allowed to be seen, why didn't they jus just -- redact . >> because they wanted this political fight, only way to try to rescue narrative. is to go in there, and junk it up with, a bunch of stuff that classified. and they can say, and you know accuse president of trying to sit on it. i think that president would be
10:30 pm
delighted, i think that president would be deleted to let actual fisa wa war ans -- wr warrants go. >> if you could redact things that are important for security purposes at least everyone become to their own conclusions. >> you think of shocking lawless things, that we have seen so far, you would think that you know, that america people could handle the actual raw fisa warrant. trish: we're tough. >> right. trish: we like to work. >> right. trish: at least we do now, thank you so much charlie. >> thank you. trish: we're coming right back with more stay with us. >> devious dems pack their rebuttal fisa abuse memo with

10:35 pm
you peel back the layers of the russia probe you will find a clinton connection right in the middle. my next guest writes the clinton connection is so fundamental, there probably wouldn't have been a russian investigation without herb. michael goodwin, a fox business contributor. you say it's like an onion. you say when you peel them balk find one dirty trick, to coin your phrase. what's the biggest issue for you. >> all of the allegations against donald trump that we know so far from the steele dossier and from now we learn
10:36 pm
from sidney blumenthal and cody sheer who are funding their allegations through the state department who gives them to christopher steele, who then gives them to the fbi. then we have the leaks than come out of this investigation. all of it anonymously sourced. hillary clinton goes on the campaign and talks about these press reports, all of which trace back to her campaign. it's like money laundering. they laundered all of their partisan allegations through government elements and the media, ban they come out look like they are serious. >>it is a sort of money laundering in that it was the democrats that originally engaged fusion gps to pay christopher steel to get all
10:37 pm
this information which had been proven false. yet we have an investigation based on it. >> you can't prove a lot of the allegations in there because you don't know who the sources are. christopher steelee did not go to russia. some of whom are suing him over it. trish: i read it. buzzfeed special nies journalism. they -- specializes in journalism. so i read it. any journalist reading it sees that it's written in a way that is full of propaganda. it's written in a tabloid sensationalist way that opposition research it's obvious it's not written in any way, shape or form as an actual intel
10:38 pm
document. michael: christopher steel tells the fbi he'll dough basically anything to make sure trump isn't elected. he said different things to a london court than what he said to the fbi, which is why they want a criminal investigation of him. there are so many holes tonight, but it all traces back to the clintons. if you look and look, you will upon find one possibility of a non-clinton source. it has to do with george papadopoulos. but that came long after christopher steele melt with the fbi -- met with the fbi. it all has to do with the clinton machine. trish: and perhaps the putin machine. if you are vladimir putin and
10:39 pm
want to mess with us, why not feed a bunch of garbage to the guy work for clinton and the fbi and give them information that would challenge the very integrity of our system. michael: it may well be that the russians were trying to peddle dirt on hillary clinton. we don't know. that's why to start and i investigation on all these we don't knows. and then the fbi texting about an insurance plan in case trump won and going easy on clinton because she'll be our boss. trish: as we see more and more this it will put the previous administration, the obama administration in a very bad
10:40 pm
light. >> there are a lot more layers to unpeel. michael goodwin. thank you. do you believe all high-level members of the obama administration must be investigated for their roles in creating and promoting the trump dossier. these two mountain bikers takinged the road less traveled down a treacherous mountain in canada, avoiding the jagged rocks before reaching the end of the trail. democrats caving to pressure president trump. they now plan to redact a memo on surveillance of the trump campaign. achoo!
10:41 pm
10:42 pm
10:43 pm
10:45 pm
devin nunes voicing his outrage on why the author of the trump dossier isn't facing criminal charges. the house said this guy lied to the fbi and you have the senate who said this guy lied to the fbi. what is the justice department doing? where is the prosecution of christopher steele? this is a slam dunk case. trish: we have fred fleitz, should christopher steele be held accountable? >> i think a lot of people should be held accountable. we are learning from the memo produced by the house republicans that the fisa court was repeatly told things that weren't true in terms of
10:46 pm
misrepresenting where the information came from. we have to get steele back into the country so he can be prosecuted, which will be difficult. trish: is it the fighta court's fault that they didn't get the whole zwroir? >> no, the fault is with the justice department. that's why we have to get the transcript to find out what was the justice department saying to this judge to justify spying on a member of a political campaign. trish: i am with you on that. i would love to see that transcript. right now everything we are getting is colored by a political bias one way or another. if you are saying we are going to take devin nunes at his word. you a still have the democrats' memo most of of which can't be seen because there are too many
10:47 pm
national security concerns. i want to see it all. i want to look at every last bit of it. shouldn't we as americans be able to see what really transpired? >> was the steele memo the main reason they requested this warrant? the transcript will show that. did they play down the fact that hillary clinton and the dnc financed this memo? i want this earlier fisa court hearing transcript also declassified. the fisa court turned it down, which is unheard of. what was said in that request that they turned it down. how did they tweak this -- this request to get that warrant in 2016. >> this was a badly written
10:48 pm
memo, it has personal attacks on congressman gowdy and nunes. when there was a vote on the republican memo, the democrats threw out their memo which none of the republican members had even seen. they were told vote our memo out. it's 10 pages long. you can imagine the republican members paging through this thing to find out what's in it. it's you a stunt to distract from the russia investigation. trish: i hear you, they could have come forward with a cleaner memo. now it just makes the administration make it look like they are trying to hide something. fred: the fbi objected to two memos. it didn't like being criticized. too bad, that's intelligence oversight.
10:49 pm
the fbi has no right to say you can't release something that's overseeing us because we disagree with it. but classification problems is a different matter, and that's why the democratic memo is being withheld. trish: the national left-wing media is submit within a dictator's sister, and they don't care who knows it. we'll take up the olympic lovefest next. copd makes it hard to breathe. so to breathe better, i go with anoro. ♪go your own way copd tries to say, "go this way." i say, "i'll go my own way" with anoro. ♪go your own way once-daily anoro contains two medicines called bronchodilators, that work together to significantly improve lung function all day and all night. anoro is not for asthma . it contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma.

trish: in our online poll last week we asked you, do you think it democrats have any idea how thoroughly discredit their russian witch hunt has been discredited. the left-wing media has crowned the "it" girl of the olympics. it's kim jong-un's sister. look at these headlines. the "new york times" writes kim
10:54 pm
jong-un's sister turns on the charm, taking pence's spotlight. "the washington post" compared kim yo-jong to ivanka trump. that's insulting. joining me lawrence jones and gina loudon. we know the left-wing media has always been obsessed with communist dictatorships to asserted extent. but this feels like it's being taken to a whole new level. this man, this regime, including his sister because she is part of it. they are threatening us and our very existence. >> threatening us and our very existence. torturing and killing their own people. and let's not forget, bless his heard and bless his family, otto
10:55 pm
warmbier. they are doing the work of north korea. if north korea wanted to pipe in our mainstream media, they are doing the work for them. if the media wants to say they are humanitarians when they are torturing and killing people. they are suppose to be feminists? what do they know about this woman other than she stands idly by while her brother kills north korea's citizens. the whole thing is disgusting and very illuminating. trish: lawrence, gina is right. illuminating. messed up. the idea that somehow our media organizations are doing the work for kim jong-un, carrying his water because they hate the president that much? is that what this is about? >> it's more than just hating
10:56 pm
the president. i don't care what your political party is at this point. we are talking about being american. they hate us. that's what they do. and they teach their children every single day when they go to school. they control their own media. to see our press be so anti-american. that's what those headlines were. they were anti-american headlines. it's important to know what his sister's joins. she is the head of propaganda. to see our press go along with that and know that and still participate in that, i think it was un-american for them to take that stand. trish: you think about all these leftist media organizations, and there is something haitha luting abou --there is something high a
10:57 pm
high faluting. and it's an intellectual view to have. but at its core a wrong view to have. this is our country. our people do matter. and, you know, as you rightly point out this is a regime. even if you don't care about americans, it has tortured its own people, somehow it's glamorous to celebrate this woman, gina loudon? >> it's the very first amendment. and it's the people who fought and died for our constitution and bill of rights that gives them the permission to do what they are doing and be so hip why it cal in their defense of kim jong-un's sister. she is a propagandist.
10:58 pm
how far back in history do we have to go for the left to understand how dangerous this is to their own friends and family? >> during the olympics. and to see them do that while our vice president was there to represent us during this troubling time. we can literally have war with north korea. to see them take that side while -- and they were critical about our vice president. he didn't shake the hand. he looked too stern. he was mean. he didn't go have cookies and milk with her. he's representing the united states of america. the country you guys live in. the country where your headquarters where you print these crazy headlines are. that's america. you should be standing with our vice president. it's about country before partisan politics and your
10:59 pm
clinton-based headlines. >> we are talking about a dictator. what they are condoning, a dictator. trish: this is why people no longer trust them. people have sought out alternatives because they don't trust the mainstream media anymore. they are showing their bias on full display right now. so good to see you both always. that's going to do it for tonight's edition of "lou dobbs tonight." thank you for joining us. join me tomorrow on the intelligence report sat 2:00 p.m. eastern right here on fox business. we had a heck of a market lately. a good one today. good night tef one * from new
