liz: hope you have a good weekend. thank you for coming on. that does it for us at the fox business network. "the evening edit." lou dobbs is next. have a good weekend. lou: the question of the evening, who is actually running the department of justice? the doj and the fbi continue to act as though they are above and beyond our laws. tram belling citizen rights that they are sworn to protect and defend. conducting raids against whistleblowers. questioning a former trump administration official without legal counsel present. and the minor matter of the never ending witch hunt against president trump. what about the corrupt system and the outrageous treatment of former national security advisor

mike flynn. here is what the president had to say about all that. president trump it's a terrible system we have right now. it's going on with general flynn. the fbi said he didn't lie, but mueller said he did lie. so i they took a man who is a general and respected person and a nice man and they convinced him he did lie. now they are recommending no time. you know what? because they are embarrassed that they got caught. lou: we take up what can be done about the crisis. the red storm flying this hemisphere as china and russia remember kroaching on what has been geographically america's sphere of influence. trump's national security team looking to enunciate policy and strategy to blunt the expansion

in africa and the ambitions of both china and russia in this hemisphere. china telecom company zte hiring joe lieberman to temper fears in d.c. that they pose a national security threat. zte is controlled by the chinese. there is another' chinese company, huawei, the chinese retaliating for the arrest of hits cf to, meng wanzhou by detaining two today playedian officials. >> the unlawful detention of two canadian citizens is unlawful. whether they are our citizens or citizens much other countries -- citizens of other countries.

the detention of these two canadian citizens in chain today ought to -- in china ought to end. >> we work to get good outcomes for the people of the united states of mayor what, respecting the rule of law each step of the way. lou: joining us to take up china's expansionary policy, christopher bedford and radio host mark i known join us. congress heading home for the weekend as a government shutdown looms. all because house ryan owes and radical dems refuse to fund the bordered wall president trump promised. president trump's director of the omb might become his permanent white house chief of staff. the department of justice and

fbi acting as though they are not tomorrow above the law, but have no intention of being held accountable. the special counsel's office declared to a federal judge that the fbi's behavior in questioning national security advisor michael flynn without giving him legal representation or opportunity for such representation in january of last year did not cause him to make false statements. james comey over the weekend sucking he took advantage of a young administration by placing general flynn in a perjury trap. >> you look at this white house now and it's hard to imagine two fbi agents ending up in the same room. how did that happen? >> i sent them. something i probably wouldn't have done or gone the away with in a more organized investigation -- more organized administration. in the george w. bush or obama administration.

both those administrations there will be was process. 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 than would be discussions and approvals, and i thought it's early enough let's just send a couple guys over. lou: here is a man who thinks he's quite cute. that much is certainly obvious. we have with us gregg jar entrepreneur and cleta mitchell to sort it out. the outrageous actions of the doj not' limited to the muler witch hunt. 16 fbi agents raided the home of a protected department of justice which the blower who had provided information on the clinton foundation and uranium

one. rod rosenstein boldly suggested he wear a wear to invoke the 25th amendment to remove president trump from office. thousands of texts between peter strzok and lisa page wiped clean before turning their phones over to the inspector general. and fbi director comey took his notes from his meeting with trump to the media and he sent over the two fbi investigateddors over to the white house. gregg jarret, and starting with what seems to be to be an admission by the fbi director that he was following law or

procedure or observing the rights of general flynn when he sent over as he cutely put it, a couple of fbi agents to the white house. >> that's exactly right. but let's talk about why were they there in the first place why were they going to interview sometime in they were interviewing him because the obama administration unmasked his conversations. this is the incoming national security director whose job it's going to be to communicate with foreign leaders. during the transition that's what he was doing. the obama administration recorded those and gave the transcripts of those conversations to the fbi. the fbi read those conversations with ambassador -- russian ambassador kislyak, then they see an article, an interview with general flynn in the

"washington post" in which he said in the article that he did not discuss the russia sanctions issue with the russian ambassador. they say, oh, we have seen the transcript. that's not telling the truth. that's when they came up with this idea to see if he would tell them the same thing. my question is number one. why is the fbi reading the transcripts of his conversations. why did the obama administration unmakes those conversations, and why did jim comey and peter strzok who went over and to shoot the breeze with general anyone trying to get him to say to them what he said to the washington post, which he did. lou: they said in those texts between themselves that they were look for an insurance policy and strzok in particular foresworn his dying opposition.

he was one of the early members of the resistance to the trump administration work under the colors of the fbi. gregg, your thoughts. greg: these are the court documents today, they are rich with evidence of corruption on the part of the fine and to some extent the department of justice. they admit in the 302 document that the fbi agents -- 302 is the summary by the fbi of an interview. they admit that flynn told the truth. so the question that judge emmitt sullivan should have tuesday is, mr. mueller, why are you prosecuting? why did you charge a guy who your own agents interviewed and determined told the truth. then i think if i was a judge i would turn to general flynn and say why did you plead guilty to something you didn't do. were you coerced?

was your son threatened by these special counsel operators over here at the other table? lou: how about why did the fbi director acknowledge -- if he acknowledges send over two agents thwarting ways policy, procedure and the legal demand for representation for a formal interview. it wasn't just a little trek across town to the white house. gregg: you called comey cute, i call him cunning and corrupt and also a liar. you know, this is -- this document shows that he deceived the acting attorney general and didn't tell her about what he was doing with the interview with flynn until it was too late. then when she found out about it, she was angry. this is in the documents today.

comey deserved to can fired a hundred times over for malfeasance. there was no legal basis for the fbi to even interview michael flynn it's not a crime to talk to the russian ambassador during a transition. whrow report surveillance of the white house staff, the incoming administration and in particular, general anyone, this is -- there has been no accountability, no one has been health to account in the obama administration for what was clearly an unprecedented surveillance of political opposition, and the success -- and the succeeding candidate in a presidential election. this is outrageous.

and you don't sight anywhere in "the washington post" or cbs news or nbc news. this is outrageous. >> it's completely outrageous. but here is what you did see in the "new york times" and "washington post." remember when president trump said back during the spring of 2017 when he told the american people in part based on what devin nunes learned, and advised them. and remember the left went crazy. and he had to step aside for a few months while there was anlet thinks versus -- while there was an ethics investigation. lou: there is another issue in that as well. the house leadership. it was absolutely aligned with those democrats. >> remember when the president said the american people that his campaign had been under surveillance by the obama administration. lou: wiretapped.

>> all of those newspapers the headlines. lou: i can remember the mockery. the snark in their tone. >> they said there is no evidence. they said the president says without evidence that his campaign was under surveillance. you ought to google how many times there are headlines that quote the president then in the headline for the first president it says without evidence. without any facts. they dispute what he says the moment it comes out of his mouth. lou: this president has been fighting this battle alone. not with the assistance, support, the help, the assistance and thoughts of the leaders of the house or the senate. this president fighterring alone. -- fighting alone. and it's time that changed. gregg:aren't fighting individual in his own department who want

to hide the evidence and obstruct congress. i wish the president would declassify -- lou: what do you mean obstruct congress? greg: rod rose' stein is refusing to hand over document to congress. we know who he is. so rosenstein refuses to allow that individual to testify before congress. lou: we have known this throughout. this president knows it. he's the one who wanted to fire rosenstein. he's the one who has chosen not to release those documents, throws fisa document that are at the foundation of much that is going on. we'll have to figure out the rest of that. i am sorry, we are out of time. appreciate it. we are coming right back.

lou: president trump named mick mulvaney as acting white house chief of staff. mulvaney is the budget director and the director of the financial protection bureau as

well. president trump saying mulvaney has done a quote outstanding job in his administration and indeed he has done so. the united states facing a potential government shutdown if the ryan owes and radical dimms refuse to fund the president's border wall. the senate is in recess until monday, the house in recess until wednesday. so there is no potential deal on the table. chad pergram reporting chances are pretty high the government will be shut down. joining us, fox political analyst ed rollins. chad pergram thinks because of the timing, congress out until wednesday, the odd are high that on the 21st the government will shut down. ed: my sense is the democrats and the republicans will go

along with a continuing resolution. if the president hangs tough it may be shut down. but it's my sense is there not much stomach among the gutless wonders on the hill to do anything like that. lou: the gutless wonders have done it before. ed: they don't like shutting the government down. lou: they don't mind not working. ed: but you don't see that, it's not obvious. lou: i want to turn to mick mulvaney. how many jobs can one man hold? ed: bottom line, he'll tell his wife and kids he'll see them in two years or four years. the great part about him. he knows the government, he knows the congress. he's the perfect choice. he walks in there and he knows what the president need.

it will be a smooth operation. clearly he can make it happen for the president. the problem bringing someone else in, they try to change things and alter things. the dynamics are effective at this point in time. the government still has to run through all this crisis stuff and he can make it happen. lou: as the fake news was swirling around the chief of staff choice surrounding the president my heart sank several times in the midst of that, not the midst of -- not the least of which was mulvaney saying he was going to treasury. i think he's a man who i think if he wants the job, i hope he takes it because he would serve the president well. ed: my sense is they are making it acting because he's a cabinet, senate approved.

lou: omb is not the simplest of departments. ed: with a new budget coming forward. i hope he gets by on four hours sleep a night. but he knows what the president needs. there is no disruptive force. the president can focus on the chaos going on around him. lou: mulvaney has served this president quietly and effectively. he's a bright, hard work conservative. ed: and knows the congress which is going to be in the house particularly it will be the democrats. he can give the president good guidance. lou: we are going to -- i want to get in one more question. and that is on what gregg and cleta and i were talking about, this persecution of the president. the obvious. listen to if we may, the former

fired fbi director still fired, former fbi director talk about his remarks about how he sent agents over to the white house to interview general flynn. get your thoughts on it. >> i sent them. something i am probably wouldn't have done or maybe gone the away with in a more organized investigation -- organized administration. in the george w. bush administration or the obama administration, for example. ed: that's j edgar hoover. lou: i think the man ought to be in jail. ed: any good white house would have had a counsel in that room. we had fred fielding when i was in the white house. one of the great lawyers who would have basically said thank you very much, you deal with me. i make the decision how see and how don't see and that's the way it goes.

lou: for him to pursue this to surveil this president, this presidential candidate under the obama administration and not to be held -- there seems to be no thought of holding him accountable. ed: i think this was a continuation of been man and all the bad guise who were there before. i think he thought he could get something on them and get a favor to guarantee his future. it's outrageous and it's criminal. lou: be sure to vote in our poll tonight. should congress remain in session throughout the holidays until they reach an agreement to fund the president's border wall? the president could do that. he could say get over here. cast your vote on twitter @loudobbs. up next. creatures of the swamp come to the aid of communist chinese

lou: china agreed to a retaliatory suspension on autos effective january 1. a victory for president trump and his balanced trade policies. the president tweeted. china just announced their economy is growing slower than anticipated because of our trade war. china wants to make a big and comprehensive deal. it could happen and rather soon. zte hired former u.s. senator, former democratic nominee for vice president on the

gore-lieberman ticket to conduct a national security assessment of its products. lieberman putting zte's financial interests over the national security of the united states said he'll register as a lobbyist for the company. he met are lawmakers on capitol hill who oppose any deal with zte. this is an extraordinary development and sad one for secretary lieberman. mike pompeo bheegd the kn foreign minister -- meeting with the canadian foreign minister. pompeii owed called china's actions in detaining cat madans unlawful. they were detained in retaliation for the arrest of huawei's chief financial officer. let me start christopher.

the idea of lieberman representing zte. what's next, huawei? where does he go from here? >>ed the entire saga of how the u.s. has dealt with zte is pretty disappointing. zte was in a death grip in the u.s. they weren't able to import what they needed to build their products. as part of a trade deal president trump said he would work with xi jinping to undo that ban and allow breathing room. now they enlisted an independent hawk, lieberman, formerly democratic vice presidential nominee to lobby for them in washington. the entire thing stinks. a couple senators like senators graham and rubio.

i expect to hear some noise from them monday on this. lou: one would hope. the administration in putting that ban together, they made it clear they were a problem and the president at the request of president xi thinking this would help in a deal both for north korea and the trade deal, he acceded to saving 90,000 chinese jobs. >> joe lieberman a nice guy. his lifelong passion was chinese telecom. i don't know why they waited to month. they could have hired paul ryan. lou: paul ryan and joe lieberman would have been somewhat low energy as the president would say. >> they are like hertz cars. you can rent them whenever you need them. the swamp at its worse.

lou: ed rollins said to me, talking about lieberman, this will be his legacy, and that's a shame. because lieberman has much more that he should be repairing to than taking up the interest of zte and the people's liberation army. people are no longer under any illusion about who the communist chinese are, what beijing represents and its intent on world nomination because it steals the hundreds of billions of dollars from us each year. >> the chinese companies, their executives may wear business suits, but they are approximaties for their government. especially the when they are involved in spying and breaking snaingss iran and north korea. the game is global nom domination. for leeberman who has a long and

proud career in the senate. for him to do this now, i'm a surprised. he's someone i thought more as a statesman than a money maker. maybe he'll change his mind when he sees the reaction to this. >> comey should be in jail. j edgarp hoover -- j edgar hoover would be ashamed of him. lou: up next, the delusional radical dimms refuse to budge and funding the president's border wall. they blame president trump for their inaction. >> the only thrown would be a shutdown is the president

throwing a temper tantrum saying he wants more security. he's not going to get it. >> i want to be crystal clear. there will be no additional appropriations to pay for the border wall. it's done. >> we should not be wasting $5 billion -- a lot more than that which is what trump wants on a wall. >> i don't envision any circumstance that we allocate $5 billion or anything close to that because it will be a waste of taxpayer dollars. >> the president should accept reality and bend to the will of the american people and hash out a deal that allows for the government to continue to be funded. lou: they should bend to the will of the american people who elected this president who promised to build that wall. those are global elites posing as trad cal dimms.

>> that's what he is intend to go do so we need to fund the wall. americans what protect and security. lou: did chuck schumer seem arrogant and elitist when he said it isn't going to happen? >> and he was playing politics. we don't have time for that. i'm glad the americans get to see this play out in the open. now, you see who is working for you. you put these people in office and they haven't done not one thing, haven't pushed one piece of legislation for the american people. these are the people you need to vote out. why do you keep voting for a chuck schumer or nancy pelosi if they are not going to work for the will and the american people. >> our tax dollars pay their salaries. they are the government and they are supposed to work for we the american people. if they can't go and do the job, we need to shut it down period. lou: paul ryan organized it so the house has to stay away until

wednesday evening. it will be the first time they will be able to take a vote. it will be a close thing. you don't suppose paul ryan would intentionally do that to try to stop the president's wall? >> it's called the deep state. that's what it's called. lou: let's turn quickly to the witch hunt. your thoughts. >> i see prosecutorial misconduct, overreach, and it's so sad that you are trying to take down the sitting president, trying to smear him for what? then i look at us, we the american people. we the american people, private citizens. how do you fight that and combat that. this is like village land tee justice. we are goin going to go after ts here. lou: 16 fbi agents raiding the

home of a protected department of justice whistleblower. >> that's what the mafia do. that's what i seat fbi. i see our government being that by the way they are acting and treating people. how are you going in search of a crime. you are going in search of a crime because there was no crime. the russia and the trump and the election collusion. one that excluded this election right here is the hillary clinton camp, the dnc, the fbi, and i could keep going on and on and on. they interfered in this election right here. lou: i couldn't agree with you more, and it's always great to see you. the american way will prevail, truth, justice for all. >> for all. lou: diamond and silk. >> thank you for having us. lou: more signs of trouble in

and all of the armies of angry democrats that are raising their heads in the southern district of new york, whether it's manhattan or albany when the attorney general elect arrives promising to persecute the president. he has exhibited in the first two years in the times i have talked with him, not one ounce of anything but absolute energy and strength to repel these -- i'm going to call them what they are, dishonest fools going after him. >> that's right, lou. i had the opportunity to be with him yesterday. he told me specifically to give his best to the great lou dobbs. he loves this program as we all do. but i heard -- and we have heard those reports. i heard them that the president

was isolated and depressed and fearful of impeachment. when i was with him yesterday he was nothing of those things. he was upbeat and positive. but he was adamant that he had done nothing that rises to the level of an impeachable offense. he understands what's going on here. the democrats are trying to undo the 2016 election. they couldn't win at the ballot box so they are engage in a program of impeachment while in office or harassment while in office. lou: i believe what will be revealed here is the depth of corruption that exists within our government that would permit such a prosecution, to see one democrat after another. these radical dimms are rising up, u.s. attorneys' office and doj offices.

that is to harass this president. it's ignorance and dangerous. what's astonishing to me is the lack of just a massive public outrage whether it be just on the right, just conservatives or not. this has got to be stopped and it's got to be stopped now. these people, these radical dimms are acting against the interest of the country, they are un-american and it's very dangerous when you are contending with the threats posed by china, with russia, iran, isis, you name it. it's all happening at once. >> he authorized me to say this. he does not regret at all firing james comey. he said if he had not fired james comey it would not have revealed the corruption at the fbi with peter strzok and lisa page and the whole group. the american people are getting

wise to this. the good news is, this week a fox poll showed he was exactly at the same approval rating obama lad at this time in his presidency and obama didn't have the relentless attack of the media. rasmussen has him at. > -- at 50%,and evangelicals arg him at 70%. lou: among republicans, president trump's job approval is 88%. for his approval numbers to be at the same level as obama, think about this as you said it, he's under constant attack by the left wing national media. president trump was being glorified, lionized and put to bed with a pillow under his head every night by the national left-wing media. it was an inverse relationship between the two on the part of

the national media. this is a time for this country to understand better who we put in government. and they should be very, very uncomfortable to think about what has happened here. we have -- the obama administration is responsible for surveilling a presidential candidate. and his staff, his officials, and a sitting president. that's astonishing. >> this president is doing great. he's fulfilling his promises every day. i think we all want to say thank you to you for getting the truth out every night of what's going on. lou: that's kind of you. we owe two quick thank yous that rank feasht beyond that, the president of the united states and the good lord. has so much.
