we'll see how tomorrow goes with the coronavirus cases spiking, i guess that's what ended up getting into some investors' heads. melissa and i will see you same time tomorrow, but right now it's time for "lou dobbs tonight." ♪ ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. president trump and everyone in this country who believes in truth, justice and the american way have a lot to celebrate this evening. a federal appellate court today ruled in favor of former trump national security adviser general michael flynn, president trump and the rule of law. in a 2-1 decision, the d.c. court of appeals ordered judge emmet sullivan to dismiss the case against lieutenant general flynn. judge robert wilkins, an obama appointee, the lone dissenter. president trump at the white house today with this reaction. >> i'm very happy about general flynn. he was treated horribly.

he was treated very, very horribly by a group of very bad people, and i think you'll see things are going to start to come out. but what happened to general flynn should never happen again in our country. he was persecuted, and many other people were persecuted. they spied on a campaign, and they should never spy on a campaign to put it mildly. never happened before in the history of our country. the obama administration spied on the campaign. this is just the first one. he's been exonerated, and i want to congratulate him. he's been through a lot. he's been through a lot. he had great courage, great fortitude. they spy pd on a campaign. there's never been anything like that happen. if that were the other way around, people would be in jail for 50 years. lou: the justice department's motion to drop the case against general flynn followed a review of the facts of the case by u.s. attorney jeff jensen. the department of justice found

a number of exculpatory notes written by fbi agents and officials involved in the investigation of flynn, known as crossfire razor. the most recently-released of such noteds -- notes written by peter strzok in a heavily redacted handwritten note believed to have been written on january 4th, 2017. strzok records the comments of former president obama, former vice president joe biden, former fbi director james combingmy, former national security adviser susan rice and former deputy attorney general sally yates. in his note strzok writes: vp, logan act. suggesting that vice president biden was the one to bring up the possibility of charging general flynn under the never-before-used law from 1799. president obama if responded --

president obama responded, quote, these are unusual times. and they certainly were. strzok only has a small piece of biden's follow-up in his note, but it says: i've been on the intel committee for ten years, and i never -- we, of course, don't know how biden finished that sentence. but we do know that meeting was the inception of the fbi's frame-up of the president's national security adviser-to-be. what happened next reveals the depth of corruption in the upper echelons of the obama white house and how determined they were to undermine president trump. according to strzok's note again, president obama told the group, quote: make sure you look over things and have the right people on it. make of that what you will. the former president then adds, is there anything i shouldn't be telling the transition team? strzok says james comey responded by saying flynn and

russian ambassador sergey kislyak have had telephone calls but maintained, quote: they appear legit, in his words. again, these notes are believed to have been written on january 4th, 2017. and on that very same day, fbi agents had drafted their own memo saying they had found no derogatory information regarding flynn's contacts with the russians and that they were shutting could be the case against him. down the case against him. at 2:31 in the afternoon on that same day, peter strzok began frantically textinging the crossfire razor case manager asking him to keep the case open. at 2:22 he text thed, seventh floor involved. meaning director james comey and fbi leadership were making sure the case stayed open and were maintaining contact on the case as it developed. the small group of obama era

officials did everything, it seems, in their power to talk down president trump. to take president trump. they used a fraudulent case against general michael flynn, trying to target president trump and his administration. for years the. [laughter] -wing -- the. [laughter] -wing national media, the radical dems and the rinos, of course, said general flynn was their key e to revealing all they had about the so-called trump-russia collusion. but with that absurd narrative now laying on the trash heap of history, the media is already in the early throes of concocting a new conspiracy, trying still to bring down general flynn and, of course, president trump. just listen to msnbc trying to excite their left-wing audience about another shiny objection they can follow -- object they can follow during today's breaking news. >> could a democratic

administration then bring charges? >> well, remember that, yes, i mean, the simple answer to the question is yes. to a second potential violation that flynn, in essence, admitted to in his plea agreement although he was never charged with it, and that is whether finish. >> ah -- >> -- he was candid about his relationship with the government of turkey in doing some lobbying. lou: that is one of the most extraordinary, bizarre, byzantine adventures in language. you don't know which noun is coming next nor what verb might be thrown in. the media's intent to spin new lies on behalf of, of course, the radical dems is their way of distracting the american treatment, well, the -- the american people, well, from the lies and contradiction that

undermine everything they have said about the biggest political scandal in american history. msnbc, cnn, "the new york times", "the washington post" now in hyperdrive trying to obviate that three-and-a-half year period from their existence. peter strzok's note is apparently taken just one day before some of those very same obama era officials were to meet again in the oval office, on january 5th. we know from an e-mail sent by susan rice, national security adviser in the administration, to herself on president trump's inauguration day. we know that she awe long with former president obama -- along with former president obama, former vice president biden, sally yates, jim comey, john brennan and jim clapper all met to talk about general flynn who, remember, is -- we've been told reliably by the head of the fbi -- totally legit.

but here's another meeting, and it's within that january 5th meeting that obama told the group to carry out their investigation by the book. of, apparently, a totally legit national security adviser to the incoming president. and where james comey once again pointed out that flynn's calls with kislyak had not involved any confidential information. and interesting as well, the comments and actions of former deputy attorney general sally yates. according to doj documents, yates and comey were asked by the president to stay behind after the meeting. and then president obama shared his knowledge of flynn's calls with kislyak, knowledge that he likely gained from his chief of staff, dennis mcdonough, or the previous meeting. mcdonough, you know, had unmasked general flynn that very same day. and according to the doj

document, yates told fbi agents and prosecutors for robert mueller that she was so surprised by the information she was hearing that she had a hard time, as she put it, processing it and listening to the president's words at the same time. now, why would she be so surprised? was she feigning surprise? because she had been in that previous meeting. according to strzok's note, yates was in the meeting discussing the very psalm information the day -- the very same information the day before. yates also claiming it was comey who brought up the logan act but, again, strzok's note says biden was the first to bring it up. what did sally yates gain from suggesting it was comey who wanted to move forward with a logan act violation for the first time in the history of the united states? it's a question we'll be taking up here tonight. a lot of other questions as well. our first guest this evening is the best person we could possibly ask those questions of,

she will be forever known now as the defense attorney who demonstrated that the department of justice, special counsel prosecutors and fbi agents combined to frame and extort general michael flynn. and we're doing so with -- and were doing so with the knowledge and approval of president obama and vice president biden. joining us now, sidney powell, general flynn's defense attorney. and, sidney powell, congratulations to you, and our gratitude to you for all that you have done for the general and righting terrible wrongs and all that you've done for the country. good to have you here. >> thank you. lou: how does it feel to, how does it feel to at least be at this point? it's, we've learned one thing, to look with a watchful eye at what the deep state and judge sullivan will do next, but it appears that you have prevailed and finally so. >> yes. this is a huge step forward and

a big step toward restoring the public's confidence in the rule of law and our judicial system. but it also demonstrates how fragile it is because this decision is 2-1 when it should have been unanimous. i mean, every case in the country supported the majority decision here, and the defending judge ignores major constitutional principles and all the controlling cases. lou: and she is an obama appointee e and, again, we see a judiciary that is divided on partisan grounds, and we have a chief justice who is behaving, one can say, erratically in that he will claim to, that there are no obama judges, there are no trump judges or bush judges. but, my god, in decision after decision we see precisely that, that they are. and this chief justice seems to have no way in which to lead the judiciary beyond the deeply divided partisanship that,

frankly, corrupts many of their decisions, certainly this court under emmet sullivan. >> well, the majority decision here of the d.c. circuit written by judge rau is excellent and very well reasoned and documented. and so we are hopeful that judge sullivan will follow the mandate of the d.c. circuit and go ahead and sign the motion to dismiss, the order granting it. and so we can move on from all of this to getting back to more positive endeavors. lou: yeah. i personally don't see that as a close destination, sidney, and i know that you do have to be careful here because you still is have much at stake, and i will certainly respect that. the fact of the matter is as we learn more about what president obama knew in his administration at the onset of the transition by the incoming trump

administration, it is, it is chilling to read these notes of peter strzok, the other evidence and to look at what it all combines with to suggest which is that president obama not only knew, but awe approved of this -- but approved of this operation against an incoming national security adviser whom he had fired and a clear effort to attack a man who was about to sit in the same chair as he in the oval office. >> it is absolutely terrifying, lou, to think that this would go on in the united states of america. and these notes are simply damning whether it was a phone conversation or a meeting or how it was conducted, the notes are clear in raising significant issues for vice president biden and, of course, mr. obama and their role in orchestrating and instructing and making sure this

entire operation was carried out. it's just hour risk. horrific. lou: and to suggest that, as the president did -- not to suggest, he said straight out, be sure the right people are on this case. i'm not sure what that means. do you have any idea? because it, frankly, it sounds rather sinister. >> it does. i think really that's the only way to take it, to -- he's saying, you know, make sure that people who are going to carry through into the with next administration are on it, people that mr. comey and mr. obama could trust to make it come out the right way. i mean, there's really no reason for them to be having this conversation in the first place, out simply shouldn't have happened. i mean, we had both comey and mr. obama saying, oh, no, you know, we never interacted about any cases or anything, and obviously here they did. and mr. biden was on tv not too long ago saying he had nothing to do with the flynn investigation whatsoever, and then ca bam, we've got these

notes. lou: yeah, it's a very difficult cause for the former vice president to make that he knew nothing about it. he may remember nothing about it, but -- >> that's possible. >> -- he had every reason to know about it. it is interesting to me too that james comey said point-blank, speak of kislyak and flynn, that their phone calls were totally legit, that two fbi agents had written in their 302s and made it very clear to senior officials in the if fbi -- in the fbi that there was nothing derogatory about general flynn. yet despite the statement from the held of for fbi -- from the head of the fbi and agents in the field with the fbi including strzok the, this moved ahead as a criminal investigation. a national security investigation with zero evidence

and, in fact, the avowals of the head of the fbi and fbi agents that there was no issue here. what could possibly have overridden that other than presidential power? >> presidential power and andrew mccabe and then the special counsel operation which, frankly, i have long thought was all part of the insurance policy that general flynn was the key to. because if you'll recall on august 15th, that's when strzok and page texted each other about the insurance policy they discussed in mccabe's office in the event trump won. then august 16 is when they opened the case on flynn, and august 17 is when they send agent pientka into the presidential briefing to spy on general flynn, assess husband mannerisms, collect information as much as possible for that two hour briefing. and he did that according to the i'm sorry g. report for the very purpose of having that baseline realize to go by if they knew that to interview trump later,

i.e., if trump became president. so that's what they did just two days a after the inauguration. so they planned this whole thing for a long time. lou: and they were trying, it seems without doubt, trying to overthrow a president of the united states. sidney powell, i want to say thank you for your time this evening. and sharing part of this historic day, one i know that has to be very gratifying to you and for which we're all, the rest of us i assure you with, deeply grateful to you. thanks so much, sidney paul. up next, walid phares was another target of spygate. he joins us right after the break. we'll talk up his story as another target of an administration hell bent on unseating a president, it appears. stay with us. ♪ ♪

lou: breaking news now, the wall strt and corporate globalists are reeling in dismay, their lobbyist minions on k street including the chamber of commerce and business round table are furious that president trump -- who promised he would put america first -- has done

just that. president trump stood up against the immense, unrelenting pressure of the corporate establishment and big tech companies and signed the executive order suspending the import of cheap foreign labor, and corporate america so desperately desiring them despite more than 20 million workers who are still jobless. president trump ordered the halt to foreign worker visas through the end of the year. instead of cheering the president who puts america and americans first, the globalists are threatening this president who has the courage to protect american workers and their families. here are some of their threats. from the same people who have shipped millions of american jobs and factories overseas, who have been bringing in cheap labor and lying about their motives and consequences of their greed for now decades. the national association of manufacturers saying, quote: we are examining all avenues to

address this action and its impact on manufacturing including potential litigation. technet, a group consisting of big tech executives, saying, quote: should litigation be filed by our member companies and partners regarding this executive order, we we fully expect to join those efforts. whoa. the chamber of commerce hasn't ruled out litigation either. the business round table calls the president's visa reforms harmful to the efforts to rebuild the economy. what would they know about that? they're the ones who have been towering down the economy and shipping -- tearing down the economy and shipping jobs overseas. where were these organizations when they should have been praising the extraordinary trump booming economy? soaring stock markets? when he was creating tens of trillions of dollars of wealth? and why would they not stand up and speak for the president?

instead, they are detractors and critics. well, let's turn now to a mystery man, he's no mystery to us, he is a fox news national security foreign policy analyst and former trump campaign adviser, author of "the lost spring," dr. walid phares. walid, it's an extraordinary story that you were that fifth person and didn't know about it for literally for years. just going through this with sidney powell, the extraordinary arrogance expect impunity with which -- and the impunity with which our politically corrupt department of justice and fbi and, apparently, significant elements of the obama administration decided to spy on president trump. how did you find out you were a target? >> what a story, lou. i'm still learning, of course. i will be in touch with the department of justicing

requesting more information, but we all remember 2017 most advisers of the trump campaign, i was one of them, one of the first ones, were called upon to testify to the house, to the senate to be interviewed by the probe in what was then known as the russia connection. we did all of that. and then nothing came out of it. two weeks ago "the new york times" post a smear if piece against me and say that there's a redacted part of the initial memo that they say was about me, that there was an investigation about me. it was not that i was a witness, but i was investigated, and they claim that the investigation was not about russia, but about my support, quote-unquote, to egypt. you bet i support egypt and the arab world and israel and nato against the jihadists, so what's the news story about that? i don't have that information. so i'm going to make that request very clearly to the doj, and to whatever agency involved

in this. i want to know what exactly what did they mean by i was investigated because of egypt? lou: and this probe is to what end and for what purpose? and it just makes so little sense. other than the fact that anyone in egypt who was not at the end of the obama administration cheering on the muslim brotherhood was certainly raising eyebrows in the obama foreign policy structure. and possibly, and possibly the president's eyebrows as well. your thoughts. >> look, what was really ironic in "the new york times" article is that they reveal something, and i am now focusing on this. they said their sources told them that an egyptian source

told whomever in government here that there is an issue in egypt. now, egyptian source, who would that be? not the government, the muslim brotherhood. therefore, this could be, turn out into a major -- [inaudible] has to do with influence. lou: as it does. and we look forward to talking with you as you learn more and more about being that fifth target of spygate. dr. walid phares, thanks for being with us. we'll be right back after these mention. ♪ y-yeah ♪ ♪ yeah ♪ hey, hey tums ver(bell rings)la stick when heartburn hits fight back fast... ...with tums chewy bites... beat heartburn fast

joining me now is lingling wei with "the wall street journal." she's been working out of beijing but was expelled by the chinese communist party, and she is the co-author of "superpower showdown: how the battle between trump and xi threatens a new cold war." ling ling, great to have you back with us -- >> thank you. lou: -- and we recommend the book highly to our audience. it's provocative, it is terrific. and the issue of decoupling came up this week, and there was some misunderstanding. but if we were headed toward a cold war, it almost by definition means there has to be a decoupling if that is to be the next phase, if you will, of this deeply controversial and troubled relationship between the united states and china. do you think that's where we're headed, decoupling? >> first of all, thank you very much for having me here, lou. on the issue of the decoupling,

as we describe in the book, we really think that a complete decoupling of the two major economies is fantasy. the two nations are just too intertwined after years of engagement. u.s. companies have spent quarter century, basically, building up global supply chains that help these two countries together, and china is one of america's largest lenders holding trillions of dollars of u.s. treasury bonds. and u.s. companies are still looking into, looking to tap into china's huge market. so that's why we don't think a complete decoupling is possible. however, increasing the disengagement is more hugely. that means, you know, the two countries increasingly moving away from cooperation and increased confrontations on issues ranging from national security, geo political issues and all the other issues we just

mentioned. lou: and the chinese, obviously, are now far more bellicose, they're even more aggressive than they were before the pandemic that they unleashed on the world. they have yet to be held accountable. there has been no consequence. and as we move forward, there has also been no apoloy by beijing or -- apology by beijing or president xi to the world for what he did, because he made a conscious choice not to warn the world of the china virus that he unleashed upon it. what do you believe is the likely course for u.s. policy in response? >> well, right now obviously this issue involving pandemic are hugely complicated. right now it's a lot of blaming game going on from, you know, both sides, u.s. and china, both

sides basically pointing fingers at each other. that's really because for now we still do not have a clear explanation about how exactly this virus started. i mean, for china president xi jinping and his government has repeat by said china wants to be a bee never lent, you know -- benevolent war participate. so that really now is really a chance to step up and prove that the chinese government takes increased culpability and responsibility that comes with war power seriously. i think china should welcome international body, you know, to come in and cooperate and find out what happened. lou: well, i think we know what happened, don't we? we know that they shut down domestic travel and air travel within their own vast country, and they encouraged it in point

of fact internationally. that's pretty definitive. and we though that they didn't -- we know they didn't warn a single soul even as they knew what was happening within their own borders. lippinglingway, we thank you very much. we'll be right back with bobson. stay with us. to make up. miles to the job site. the campsite. and anything else we set our sights on.

[laughter] ist mobs are continuing to try to tear down statues. in some places they're succeeding n. madison, wisconsin, last night the statue of a union army soldier, an abolitionist, was torn down and decapitated by the mob. in washington protesters are now threatening the emancipation statue that depicts abraham lincoln freeing a slave from bondage. these in addition to the statue of the general who led the union to victory over the confederacy and, in point of fact, freed the slaves, ulysses s. grant. his statue was toppled in san francisco over the weekend. what sense does that make, you saw? none whatsoever. president trump today condemned the vandalism saying

those responsible will pay a price. >> we've arrested numerous people, as you know, for what took place outside of washington. in addition, the fbi is investigating hundreds of people throughout the country for what they've done to monuments, statues and even buildings. so we have very strong laws already on the books. we have a law that's ten years, it's ten years. that's a long time to have one one night. i think many of the people that are knocking down these statues don't even have any idea what the statue means, who it is. lou: joining us now is bob woodson, welcome bob a former cl rights activist, he headed the national urban league department of criminal justice. he is the founder of the woodson center which helps residents of low income neighborhoods. bob, it's great to have you back with us, good to see you -- >> [inaudible] lou: -- and this movement if around the country, great to have you, this movement by these

mobs to tear down statues, it is just befuddling. what is driving this, in your judgment, as best you can judge? >> well, the pretext of all of this, of course, was pursuing social justice and challenging institutional racism, and they used george floyd as a symbol of that. they're always trolling for other george floyds. the head of black lives matter went to houston when a 7-year-old girl was killed and raised $1 is 00,000 -- 100,000 reward money with anticipating that the villain expect person who kill her was white, only to discover that the murderer was black. and so then it's not a story after that. so they're always trolling for new symbols of their protests. but this is not about social justice. and, again, black america, low

income black america are being use by the group to promote insurrection in the country and anarchy. not only are the statues of grant and teddy roosevelt coming down, but arthur ashe's statue was desecrated. the black soldiers who fought in the revolutionary war in boston, that was defaced as well. so these people are really out to destroy civil society. if a police precinct can be taken over by a mob, then why not your home? i've never, nowhere -- why not your home? and so it is important for us to understand what we're dealing with. and my message to guilty white people, stop helping us! just stop helping us. and so what we are doing is to

work in the black community. but there is blood on the hands of black lives matter, and these corporations that are paying for the bricks they're using to throw through store windows because, as you know, lou, in this past father's day weekend there was a hemorrhage of black-on-black death in chicago, new york and other cities. lou: right. >> it's just out of control. because the police have been diverted to protecting statues. lou: yeah, it is a sad moment in this country's history, and we want to continue to work to understand what is happening. we're going to continue with bob woodson on the other side of this quick commercial break. we're going to ask bob woodson about these police who are calling out sick, who are actually saying that they're not interested in going into some areas that are proving to be too dangerous in what the likely

understand only about 14 blacks, unarmed blacks are kill by police that year. even that's too much. but for every black killed by a police officer, 270 kill one another. 270 to 1. we should focus on -- so what we're doing at the woodson center with our 1776 project is we're going to help the black community to rebel against those that are exploiting them by offering solutions that we have crafted over the last 20 years. this past week we brought together if around the country -- from around the country some ex-gang members, police officers who 21 years ago we went into the most crime-infested murder capital of the city and mobilized that community to heal itself. and we went from 53 murders in a

five square block area to less than 1 for 12 years. and so we, and so we are have brought these back together. and and we think that -- we spent two hours, black police officers, we had five or six chiefs around the country sitting in on this live stream and sharing their solutions. we have another island of excellence in las vegas where there has not been a single police shooting in a high crime area because of the cooperative relationship between the police and the affected community. but we should invest, lou, in these kind of interventions that healing from within -- heal from within the black community. lou: well -- >> but it's not being done. lou: it seems -- it's not being done, and there seems to be no interest in interventions or

solutions whether it's black lives matter or whether it be in minneapolis, for crying out loud, a mayor who made e no sense before there was -- [inaudible] in his city. and certainly was a disaster, a destructive influence when there was a cry -- crisis. so what is necessary to begin that kind of interaction between a city's power structure and the young men, principally young men, who carry out these murders >> well, i think that they have to be redeemed and transformed. we had 20 young men who came together. they've been peaceful for 21 years. and there are hundreds of others who have walked that path. john ponder, our friend in las vegas who had his first pair of handcuffs on at 12 years old,
