jack: our great, great ideas everybody to read more check out this week's edition that barron's.com, deborah tells an twitter at barron's online, that's all first countable seated next week on barron's home. have a great weekend. lou dobbs next. [♪] lou: good evening, everybody, the deep state tonight appears to be all the more powerful and the rule of law in serious question. after 22 months of investigation, the department of justice today told former fired fbi acting director andrew mccabe that he will not face criminal prosecution for lying to fbi investigators three times. the department's own inspector general found in 2018 that mccabe lied on four separate occasions about his role in leaks about the clinton email

investigation. in addition to those lies mccabe began an investigation into the president of the ask united states. mccabe also signed off on the final fisa application. during an appearance on cnn immediately following today's developments, mccabe criticized the department of justice for daring to threaten his ability to get away with what may well be one of the single greatest abuses of power in american history. >> as glad as i am that the justice department and decide do the right thing today, it's an absolute disgrace that they took two years and put my family through this experience for two

years before they finally drew the obvious conclusion and one they could have drawn a long long time ago. lou: mccabe could well have been jake was the fate of president trump and the special counsel investigation. or he could have been talking about general michael flynn for whom the nightmare has been three years. mccabe, however, could find himself perhaps maybe in further jeopardy. during this time as deputy director of the fbi, he and james comey signed off on sending two fbi agents, including peter strzok top interview general michael flynn at the white house. we learned attorney general william barr tapped jeff jensen to review the flynn case. the reexamination of flynn's

2017 interview will include mccabe's tenure as well as comey's and strzoks. but based on what we are witnessing right now, it may lead to absolutely nothing for these evil doers. a new report says john durham is targeting former cia director john brennan, questioning his intelligence community assessment of russian interference in the 2016 election. the deep state does run deep and it's persistent. 11 of its members have so far managed to escape justice and accountability. protected, it is clear, by a justice department and intelligence agencies that seem

to have a way of shielding their members from justice itself. a system that reeks of political corruption at the highest levels. the deep state wish to see president trump and his associates brought down now that they have not been able to overthrow his presidency. there is no clearer example of their bias, prejudice and evil intent than that revealed in the case against roger stone in which three of the four prosecutors who tried to put mr. stone in jail for nine years were part of robert mueller's inquisition special counsel team. stolen filed a request for a new trial based on juror bias. president trump tweeted while he has chosen not to intervene in

any criminal cases including roger stone, he has the legal right to do so, and indeed he does. president trump may soon have some support in his search for justice. senator lindsey graham announced he will finally use his judiciary committee chairmanship to look into the lying liars at the fbi and justice department. but we heard that before from senator graham. this time he went to the trouble of sending a letter to attorney general barr to request interviews of 17 former officials linked to spygate. his letter is a step forward from graham who has done nothing for 17 months as chair of the judiciary committee. if you believe he's going to do dig in now, then history is no predicate for the future.

joining us tonight, john solomon. the editor-in-chief of his new media outcomplete "just the d outlet "just the news." no justice for the andrew mccabe, for the fbi officials who are corrupt to their bones. >> i have been saying since november i didn't think it was going to happen that mccabe would be indicted. if you give someone a target notification it means you are imminently going to indict them. it's my understanding once a few mops elapsed d a me -- once a fw months elapsed, it's the way the justice department works. there was a red flag this

probably was not going to happen. the bigger question is, does mccabe roll up into a larger case later with john durham and i think we have to watch for that and see what john durham's grand jury and his work result in. lou: i have serious questions about the integrity of the justice department under attorney general barr. i have serious questions, and i have to believe most americans do right now. it's clear. it's a matter of fact that mccabe lied and deceived and ordered up that special counsel condition that allowed it to unfold. so is my cynicism, my scepticism about all of this misplaced? is it time for to us take note that the deep state is intractable and much more has to be done to bring it to heel?

>> i think for a long time i have been saying this pattern has been she merging. this goes back to where the fbi wouldn't prosecute one of its lawyers for shoplifting. the american public seize two systems of justice. one for the mike flins and george papadopoulos, and here the bar is higher. the reality of 21st century jurisprudence. you have to decide if the evidence is definite and can you reasonably secure and jury verdict in the district of colombia and new york. you don't go through the process if you don't think you can secure a conviction. i think behind the scenes that may be some of the discussions. but the bigger issue here is

will john durham in a broader case looking at conspiracy, will there be a criminal action against some of the people involved here? i will say what i said for some time. the bar is pretty high for prosecuting inside the justice department. they don't prosecute their own willingly or easily. lou: a bunch of officials who run the place, i don't think there is a high standard for anything in the justice department or the fbi. i don't think we should say every other person in the justice department or fbi is a good solid american who means well in their public service. i don't believe that at all. these people had to have enablers. they had to have people working with them. they didn't step forward,er in not going to step forward

because they fear for themselves and their livelihoods such as it is. >> this is an area where the journalists can play a constructive role. we ought to look at the other cases that haven't gotten the same scrutiny. all the scriewt any by the fbi was on carter page. what about the papadopoulos case and the flynn case? i predict in the next few weeks we'll learn about potential misconduct, deception and other things that went won -- went wrn other parts of the investigation. i know the frustration you feel because i hear it all the time from my own readers. it does look like there are two systems of justice here. lou: there are two systems of justice.

maybe more for all i know. this audience deserves truth and straightforwardness, and i'm not going to in any way mince words on this. this is a politically corrupt system in the justice department and the fbi. if we can't rely on the judicial system in d.c. and new york because they have a better than 7-1 ratio of democrats to republicans, it's politicized to the point that the guilty avoid responsibility and justice, then we have to come up with another system or move the capital to i don't know where. but we have got to get out of washington. washington also happens to have the worst crime rate in the nation. it's an utter disaster.

they want to be a state? you kidding me? >> one of the things to watch for, the dynamic i am hearing behind the scenes, the dynamic is there may be better cases and a better foot to put forward in a few months on the case running up on the statute of limitations. the american people will judge attorney general barr. if there is no ultimate justice, i think the american people will be rightfully upset. lou: they might be upset. but that's one of the reasons it took 22 months to bring forward the decision not to prosecute andrew mccabe. the great unwashed, us plain old americans, we'll calm down over the course of 22 months and won't demand justice.

i want to say to them, to hell with them. you are a disgrace to the country and you ought to be ashamed. we may not be able to do a damn thing about it. someone thing we can do is keep exposing them so the light is on it. and hopefully we'll learn more. lou: we are out of time as you might suspect. but lindsey graham sending off a note saying -- to the justice department, he wants witnesses and he wants to start investigating. that is the biggest bunch of bull. this is typical of him and i don't believe a word he says. >> i have seen some real activity in the senate jew dish airy committee. it was on hold for a very, very long time. my reporting indicates there will be some serious hearings

have much like the horowitz hearing where some of the witnesses will be put under the grill. it's been a while, but there is some veal versus gay advertised activity going on. lou: how did the previous hearings work out? >> we learned a lot from the horowitz hearing. lou: what we really want is justice and accountability. lou: i will put you on the side of optimism. i am going to stay with experience and the practical reality of what we see with our lying eyes. thank you, john solomon. up next, the coronavirus exposing america's dangerous dependence on chinese products and pharmaceuticals. we are dependent on china for

medical equipment, for pharmaceuticals? what in the world has the united states been doing? a man trying to fix this. peter navarro joins us. is there any question about it? maxine waters makes it clear the radical dimms are truly the party of hate. we'll share that and what she had to say next. ♪

joining us, sebastian gorka, host of america first program. and-mile-per-hour ran today devine. '. -- and miranda devine. should california because their donors are for generous, should she have more power. >> certainly they are trying to get their way. they want to abolish the electoral college. now they want to abolish the people in high what -- lou: at least the poor people. lou: a class system in america

according to the progressives. who would have ever thought that. >> that video going around this week at a bloomberg campaign event where this aged lady started screaming at bloomberg saying you can't steal the election. you can't buy it. i guess maxine waters didn't see that video. the irony of it, the party for the underdog and the disenfranchised. they want to say we have rich donors in california so we should be able to buy the election. i think this is another version of the superdelegates in 2016. lou: it's a form of it. i think they will get both, maxine. bloomberg is making it possible to have maybe 100, 200, one or

two billion dollars in the hands of the party if they bend the rules for him and let him buy votes. >> they are bendersing the rules for him -- they are bending the rules for him or he wouldn't be on the debate stage. hillary clinton outspent president trump 4-1. tom steyer spent $200 million in iowa and new hampshire. we haven't seen mike bloomberg out there on the stage. he hasn't been bloodied by tromping through the snow in iowa. lou: i'm watching the democratic party become an instrument of

plutococracy. what do you think, seb? >> the great irony of the democrat party today, they are represented by individuals who are almost exclusively white, rich or communists like bernie. lou: he's also a millionaire. he also dropped his protests against millionaires because he became one. >> it's like the good old days of the soviet union. it was run by pap few people. this is champagne socialism at its worst. the photograph of bernie being caught in the first class cabin of the plane is all you need to know. >> it's worse than about what

this government ours still is. there is so much political corruption that reman is at the fbi and the justice department who decides not to prosecute a man who has lied three times under oath. the american people have seen what's happening and they shove it in our faces. and this cities outrageous. corruption is outrageous. i can take a double standard, i can't take any more political corruption. and ways suppose to be the preeminent law enforcement'. it's a bunch of crooks. >> at least be consistent. lou: that would be nice. >> there is a lot of problems there. lou: i have been listening to this. we have barr, everything is

good. we have christopher wray, and i see the same crap. he may be special. but what's really special is the american people and this republic. and what they are doing right now is crapping all over them and getting away with it. >> that's why bernie sanders is doing well, too. lou: that's an interesting way to go out. good to see you. thanks so much. more on the coronavirus, testing our nation's medical systems dependency on chinese drugs, chinese medical supplies. are you kidding me? how in the hell did we get to this point? peter navarro joins us next. can my side be firm?
