have a good evening. lou: good evening, everybody. tonight we are doing something we seldom do. we are turning over most of this hour to an examination one subject. but it is clearly the most important subject of our time. the democratic party in league with the department of justice, the fbi in addition to three of the nation's intelligence agencies tried to impeach the president without evidence or a crime of any kinds, conspired to overthrow the president of the united states, despite bringing the immense weight of those agencies and departments against president trump. he persevered.

he has prevailed and stands exonerated of the charges brought on by abuse of power throughout. we'll examine how the american people have been persuaded to tolerate the attacks to subvert the policies of president trump's administration to try zo to overthrow -- trying to overthrow his presidency. joining us, rudy giuliani, and judicial watch president tom fitton. the president was put through crossfire hurricane that began in july of 2016 while the president was still a candidate. in which the fbi agents investigated when the fbi came up with nothing, the radical

dimms conspired with obama-era loyalists to hold a special counsel investigation led by robert mueller and it led to exan racial and vindication -- led to exoneration and vindication of the president. after that collapsed the radical dimms tried to initiate an impeachment on charges totally farcical. president trump was acquitted nearly two weeks ago. there was no collusion so the radical dimms moved on to obstruction and the president again exonerated. the dimms tried impeachment on abuse of power, there was none, so they claimed obstruction of congress. but there was none.

so why would the american people continue to put up with more subversion and more attempts to overthrow an already historic president. the radical dimms' efforts to overthrow president trump have always been tide to the early -- been tied to the early actions of the deep state who seditiously worked to try to prevent and eventually remove president trump from office. we want to credit outstanding reporting, a key moment that could have changed the way the president's first 3 1/2 years unfolded. the department of justice's corrupt decision not to

prosecute a man for leaking classified information. james wolfe was indicted in 2018 for leaking information to four journalists. including one with whom he was having an affair. he also lied to the fbi. as we reported here before, wolf's indictment shows he picked up a highly classified document to take to the senate intelligence committee. a later fbi sentencing recommendation confirmed that that document included the first two fisa warrants for carter page. but james wolfe was never charged with leaking those classified documents. most of the charges were dropped against him in what could be called nothing other than a sweetheart deal. wolf as you allowed to plead guilty to one count of lying to

investigators for which he served two months in prison. it is that moment we can see evidence of the department of justice covering up a backgrounds scheme to remove the president. had the prosecution of wolf gone on, it's likely text messages between mike western and christopher steele's attorney might have been highly scrutinize. we'll never know. further questions would have been asked about warner's links to steele. but it wasn't in the left-wing media's best interest to look into wolf's case. they were too busy making claims like this. >> the dossier has been corroborated. >> the dossier is far from bogus. >> increasingly it's the accurate dossier. >> the steele dossier just rings

true to me. >> christopher steele the ex-mi6 guy is getting more credibility than it did. lou: how has it been allowed to go on for so long. and looking back on those fateful days it's amazing how gullible the left wing national media pretended to be. proposing the question to two people deeply connected to the deep state efforts to overthrow the president, joining me now is sidney powell, the counsel to michael flynn. and tom fitton, president of judicial watchdog more than any

other organization to bring the outrage of this republic to light. let me begin, sydney with that moment in which the federal government chose to only sentence a man to two months in prison for what was an egregious act against the government. >> that was a stunning decision on the part of the u.s. attorney jesse liu. i'm glad the president pulled her recommendation for another department of the government and i'm glad she is no longer in the u.s. attorney's office. she would have had jurisdiction over the swamp and could have done a lot to clean it out, but instead she protected it. lou: the fisa warrant application, why in the world

would the justice department not prosecute, tom, this person and do so to the fullest extent. it's the senate select committee on intelligence. >> in' ways that would have -- in many ways that would have been an ordinary sentence and plea deal. but that professional approach is only aloud for the protected class. democrat staff, people close to the deep state. but if you are a republican, if you are associated with trump, they take an aggressive point of view and try to put you in jail and prosecute to the extent of the law way beyond what anybody else would have been prosecuted. flynn has been prosecuted way beyond the underlying circumstances. it shows you if you are tied to the democrats.

if you are tied to the democrats in the senate specifically here, you get a special dispensation from the justice department. sessions announced 27 leak investigations. you had general glenn who was the victim of leaks. attorney general jeff sessions the victim of classified leaks. the leaks that we do know about, the leaks that were investigated, comey and mccabe, the justice department punted on. and there you virtually have confessions by the leakers. lou: mccabe three times lied under oath. other lies obviously are lacks of candor as the i am g. likes to refer -- as the i.g. likes to refer to it. the variance between republican and democratic justice.

perhaps the deep state is the wrong terminology. perhaps i'd should be radical dimms deeply buried in the bureaucracy and sometimes not so deeply. >> 90-something percent of justice department employees donated to the hillary clinton campaign. the reason wolf got off as he did is he threatened to subpoena senators on county committee. more than one person knew he was leaking it. lou: we'll take up the case of general flynn here tonight, sydney. we understand there is also a cord hearing tomorrow morning for roger stone. it's a busy judiciary because they have quite a mess to clean

up. we'll be talking about that mess and how we as american citizens should be considering what the proper way is for the cleanup required of the political corruption that permeates our federal government. in other headlines tonight, the coronavirus has infected more than 73,000 people, killed nearly 1,900. the majority of them occurred in china. almost 350 americans who were quarantined on board a cruise ship docked in japan have pen returned to the united states -- have been returned to the united states. 15 testing positive for the coronavirus and they were flown back in isolation. tom steyer and amy klobuchar can't name the president of

makes co. senator klobuchar said in a rally in nevada that english shouldn't be the official language in the united states. it isn't actually. it's universal but not compulsory. her comment by the way is made in english and is a reversal of her previous position where she voted in fair of the 2007 english language amendment. senator mark warner is tasked with a lawyer and oligarch with christopher steele. the relationship the committee republicans were aware of. we'll have that with our a-list panel tom fitton and sidneyy

lou: the president participated in the daytona 500 race yesterday. he becomes the second president ever to deliver the race's iconic opening. president trump: daytona international speedway. we love our country. it's an honor to be with you at the great all-american race. gentlemen, start your engines. lou: as the president arrived here on air force one, 800 feet

over the oval of daytona, the president becoming the first commander-in-chief to pace the field in the presidential limousine. heavily armored. it's 11 tons. that looks pretty safe to me. look at those flags ripping as they race around the track. soon after the race was postponed because of rain. it's still under way at this very hour. not the rain, the race. we'll bring you updates as the evening goes by. the president having great fun. the quarter of a million people watching it had a hoot. they had a -- we two years ago

we reported that senator mark warner had back channel access to an attorney representing a russian oligarch and a lawyer representing access to christopher steele, the author of the phoney discredited dossier that amongst others, the fbi gave great, great credulity. the texts date back to february 2017 when warner asked adam waldman to connect him with steele. he told him steele was skiddish about connecting. warn were said we want to do this right, private in london. don't want to send a letter yet. if we don't have agreement better not to have the paper

trail. the intel committee chair richard burr knew of warner's back channel efforts but chose not to investigate further. i wonder why. contrast warner's connection with russia to attorney general jeff sessions who recused himself just a month after the president took office. we are back with sidney powell and tom fitton of judicial watch. it's been three years and a few days since general flynn resigned. he has been put through hell by any definition by the prosecution of these justice department attorneys. where are we with the case? bring us up to date if you will. >> we are in the process of trying to get his guilty plea

vacated or the case dismissed for the government's egregious misconduct from the time they started the investigation to the prosecutors breach of the plea agreement. it was based on a pretext. there was no valid basis to investigate him. and they violated his rights at every single turn. they interviewed him in an am burg without telling him what they were doing or that he was the subject of the investigation. he didn't have a lawyer present of course. they didn't advise him of his rights. they schemed and planned. lou: what's the next step. >> to file a reply brief on the miss conduct. love it conduct -- lou: the justice department understands what they did to this man. this is horrific that our

justice department doesn't have the integrity to stand up and say this man has been wrong. >> attorney general barr and u.s. attorney durham said the opening of crossfire hurricane was suspect. they confirm the opening of the investigation into the trump team which led to the prosecution of flynn is suspect. given that, shouldn't they in the least freeze the investigation of this prosecution until they figure out what was up and what was down about it? they think there is information it was opened improperly. if it was, you can organize, and i am sure sydney would, this is fruit of the poison tree and they shouldn't be pursuing this. there is enough for the president to pardon him. but the president shouldn't have to pardon him. the justice department should come in and protect the rule of

law. lou: this president put bill barr in as attorney general to do just that. to clean up the justice department and fbi. it's a politically corrupt agency. period. how many prosecutors have worked against your client? >> there were 9 that were part of the special counsel operation -- there were 19 that were part of the special counsel investigation. now there are a couple more. we have heard from fox that attorney general barr appointed some one new to review the entire matter which would be a wonderful thing if that's true. lou: it is true because fox reported it. and we reported it right here.

>> they haven't told me yet, but i'm look forward to hearing it from the government themselves. lou: any time i can help, with just let me know. have they told the judge? >> not yet. >> that's a problem. it doesn't mean you are letting general flynn off from the prosecutor's perspective. they are just freezing everything in place until they find out if there was corruption behind the investigation. >> we produced enough documentation and it should be dismissed or the plea to be allowed to be withdrawn at a minimum. lou: the judge may be a partisan, but one thing, not an idiot. you can see on the face of this that it is wrong that how wrong general flynn has been. if that is asking too much of

our justice department, we have the wrong people trying to fix ways an evil and little cally corrupt organization. >> the best thing the department of justice to do would be to agree to dismiss the case. lou: there you go. will you accept that, tom? >> i would, but you never know what the next department of justice will do. lou: i can tell you this, i don't trust any of them. tom, we'll continue with you and sid. we would like to hear your thoughts. up next, former department of justice official signing a letter, some 2,000 of them, calling for attorney general william barr to resign. a justice department independent of the president? the only problem with that is the department justice isn't independent.

can you think an executive branch that is independent of the president or should be? we'll take that up and more with america's mayor. rudy giuliani.

lou: as i said at the outset of tonight's broadcast. over 2,000 former justice department employees signed a

petition that calls on attorney general william barr to resign for what they call is interference in roger stone's sentencing case. the letter formed about it activist group called protect democracy is a straight-out radical dimm enterprise and never trump organization. it's been around since 2017. it decried the president's statements on stone as interference. yet the never trump resistance shows how deeply embedded the radical dimms are in the justice department. protesting the president's constitutional authority, how can anyone say the justice department is independent of the administration when it contains a nationality security division. who the hell would they report to? nobody could say national

security is anything less than what is in the clear purview of the commander-in-chief, the president of the united states. his authority authorized includes oversight of the department of justice and its 110,000 employees. should anyone for any reason believe any department of the executive branch is independent of presidential authority? cast your vote on twitter @loudobbs. joining me, president trump's personal attorney, former new york city mayor, rudy giuliani. i have to say when i saw this letter, it had 1,100 signatures on it. but there are 100,000 employees right now working in the justice department. >> it's only a small fraction of the stupid lawyers in washington. and the ones that lost any sense

of legal education and become political hacks. lou: where do they get the idea that the constitution should be ignored and they can act independents of it. >> in pursuance of their moral cause of removing trump, there is no constitution. did schiff have a constitution in he denied right to counsel. he subpoenaed me for my attorney-client records. it would have been pane outrage if i had been defending a terrorist. the "washington post," cnn, all these people have lost any sense of the constitution. they don't think it applies to donald trump's lawyers or donald trump. they trash our constitutional rights the way joe mccarthy did to communists.

he didn't get away with it because the republicans stood up. they are trashing constitutional rights and the liberals have last their moral compass. lou: what is -- rises almost to the point of equal concern is there lack of self-awareness of the failure they tried to impeach him, tried to carry out -- >> tot -- totally unimpeachable offense. lou: they know there is no accountability. that means the republicans have to find a new way to fight this madness. >> wore doing it. -- we are doing it. biden has been able to get away with millions and millions in

bribery because nobody holds him accountable. there is a biden pattern in which biden gets in office. his brother or his other brother or his sons sell it. joe says i don't know, but they live right next door to each other. now, you see money going into joe's account. it will turn out the vice president of the united states, that's office was sold for the largest amount of money ever sold. you can look at prior vice presidents, nothing like this ever happened. $14 million, $15 million in ukraine. half a billion housing deal in iraq. half a billion dollars to the bank of china as your partner. if you don't think he shared in that, you would have to be stupid. his son was very close to him, his brother was very close to

him. every time he was point man, america lost and the bidens got millions. if i'm the president and i say i'm going to give you what you want, give the money to my son, that's a bribe. the bribery statute says either to you or someone else. you don't get off by it going to your son. americans are not stupid. lou: we are being played for stupid. >> crooked family. it's a rico case. it's moreman money than a lot of the crime families make. lou: you say americans are going to hold him accountable. >> i hope they are. lou: we are going to find out who is running the fisa courts and how is it the fbi can lie 17

times and get away with it, and a lot more. we'll be right back.

lou: we are back with rudy giuliani. we are taking up spygate. and why the american people have put up with these assaults on our president. full exoneration, full vintds -l

vindication. what is your assessment why the american people have put up with his attempt to overthrow our government. >> they don't control key institutions. we don't control the house. no matter what we write or say, they are consumed with hatred. if not consumed by hatred they are being driven by the hay tread their constituents. like calling mueller and he gets up there like a babbling idiot. calling cohen and he lies seven times. he can't produce the whistleblower. it turns out the whistleblower was there from the beginning concocting a scheme.

that's what's going to happen. that's schiff is hiding him. lou: by the way, we are all -- he's a conspirator. lou: he's in no way under the legal definition of a whistleblower or even if he were -- >> he committed a crime. lou: but no one can speak his name. he has been banished. >> i talked about this on my podcast. i got him cold. i got the records. i got everything. lou: we all know who it is. >> i texted my lawyer and said i can't see any reason i can't do it. my lawyer says no no. lou: so this has frozen free speech in america. this person is known to every one of us. >> to know his name would give

you critical information about where this frameup began. we are going to know him -- lou: colonel vindman gave us a clear picture. >> it shows what i have been trying to show. my client is innocent. lou: this is america wore god sake. >> they control the house and completely control a corrupt national media. how many times in the corrupt media did they use the word debunked. there are files i showed on my podcast. there are files this thick. lou: what's the name of that podcast. >> rudy ca.com. d rudy giuliani cs.com.

you will see joe biden was under investigation for money laundering. he got his own case dismissed. and they say debunked. it's not debunked. i showed them five witnesses. you can say the witnesses are lying. but you can't say there is no evidence then they are lying. the "times," the "post," cnn. er time you see debunked, lie, lie, lie, cover-up lie. lou: we are going to take up the corruption of the fisa courts next and what's being done to fix them. we'll explore who is in charge of those nice a courts? they have been played for fools by frauds. stay with us, the parade of political corruption will take a little longer. stay with us.

more? he has asked for... what? well he did say please (all boys): thank you, thank you, thank you.

lou: we are back with sidney powell, tom fitton, and rudy giuliani. wall street was closed in honor of presidents' day.

the coronavirus caused apple to temporarily halt production of their iphones and has closed stores across china. tha former obama official who hd been tasked with work on reforms of the courts, presiding judge james mosburg selected davis chris to oversee the reforms. he claims it's the court that-will determine the outcome of any surveillance reforms and not chris himself. the judge and the obama appointee is presided over by

chief justice john roberts. we are back now with sidney powell, attorney more former national security advisor, michael flynn. president trump's personal attorney, former new york city mayor rudy giuliani, and also a very good prosecutor, and tom fitton, president of judicial watchdog the lord's work every day in the swamp. we should point out, the 17 instances of lying by the fbi before those courts. four of the applications were fraudulent and the court is rancid with its own brand of corruption it seems. your thoughts about whether they should be reauthorized. and secondly whether we can leave it up to chief just its

john roberts or chris to do anything about it or is it going to be more spackle and paste? >> it's not looking good. i wouldn't trust them with the reforms. if we keep the fisa courts it needs to be revamped including more oversight with lawyers protecting citizens. it's meant for foreign citizens, not american citizens like carter page and michael flynn. the what it was abused here is beyond the pale. lou: it seems to be the same values and sat students that allowed the courts to be

defrauded and whimmingly so. >> they were warned two years ago there was a problem and the court did nothing. we asked for hearing transcripts, and the courts told us there were no hearing transcripts. the government took up warrants to spy on president trump. i know it doesn't happen all the time, but i'd should happen in those circumstances. the best fisa court reform is to put someone in jail for lying to the courts. in this case the court did an institute on its own to figure out who is responsible for this criminal defrauding of the court. if you were doing that back in the day, they would have called you or your attorneys into the court to say why should i put you in jail right now. that's what the judge needs to do. the law prohibits what happened.

we don't need new reforms. lou: when i look at what happened over the course of this president's term in office, and i suspect much longer than six months. but that's what we have documentation on. i can't believe this is the united states of america. the attorneys themselves, the judges, are part of that political corruption. it's one thing to talk about it in the justice is department and the fbi, as abhorrent and gut wren'ing as -- gut wrenching as it is. >> i don't understand how chief justice will be efforts appoints someone involved in the investigation to overseat reforms. he should be asked questions, did you ask any questions about this? did you notice the changes between warrant one, two, three, and four. i was there for the beginning of

the nice today court. and i probably have done 50 of those. i got asked questions by judges, and i god asked questions on title 3. if you put in an informant unless you are not reading the damn thing, why did this guy drop off the fbi list? if they didn't ask that question they were negligent. >> four different judges signed off on those applications. and they didn't contain a single firsthand assertion of wrongdoing. lou: we are going to be right back and we'll continue with sidney powell, tom fitton, and rudy giuliani.

lou: we are back with sidney powell, rudy giuliani and tom fitton. andrew mccabe, the attorney general has passed on prosecuting him. what does that mean? what does it portend? >> i think mr. barr wants to restore the rule of law. to do that he has to apply it equally regardless of political party. so for declining to prosecute mr. mccabe for lying under oath means he has to dismiss the

prosecution of general flynn who was never warned of his rights and wasn't even under oath aside from the other multiple violations with respect to mr. flynn. nothing in the flynn prosecution or investigation was done nothing. >> comey gets off, easy piecey prosecution. he lied to the fbi. same thing with mccabe. he lied four times both under oath and not under oath. and now we are expected to think easy prosecutions aren't pursued, but they will pursue prosecution on the spygate case that targeted the president? >> i think sidney is correct. there is a double standard. barr has to break the double standard pap man who lied multiple times under oath gave material lies things they didn't

know. on the other hands you have a man who was trapped. they had the actual answer to the question in their briefcase. so they trapped him. that's it. one count, not under oath. of course, you have to dismiss that case. why? because one is a republican and one is a democrat? we have unequal justice? that's how half of america feels. trump is going through impeachment for allegedly threatening the president of ukraine, and they see biden walking around free for three president of ukraine. that's not america. >> i would appoint separately a special counsel outside the justice department look at this. >> i agree completely, tom. lou: sydney where? >> i think it could be done by

the existing department of justice. but if it not quickly, then yes. >> how quickly? >> another week or glrchghts it is 5 a.m. here are your top stories a this the hour in new corona virus fears right here at home as americans are rushed to the hospital after exposed before leaving cruise ship in japan. and am physical now warning that a this tedly virus is hitting its business. is he in or out released poll either we're gong to see michael bloomberg on the debate stage tomorrow. as another video resurfaces of the former new york city mayoring making more controversial and some say insulting comments. >> and can a democrat beat president trump this november? vegas bookmakers place their bets on 20 20 election it is tuesday february 18 president. fbn:am starts right now.
