>> neil: these are the crowds assembling for an event donald trump is going to speak out tonight in louisville, kentucky, hours ahead of his appearing in louisville, kentucky. see you tomorrow. >> eric: i'm eric bolling with kimberly guilfoyle, juan williams. dana perino, and greg gutfeld, it's 5:00 indirect city, and this is "the five" ." -- it's 5:00 in new york city. big day on capitol hill, fireworks as fbi director james comey and nsa director mike rogers testified under oath for the first time on alleged russian meddling in the u.s. election, as well as president trump's wiretapping claims. at times, seemed like there were two hearings going on simultaneously. the g.o.p. trying to get the name of the leaker who gave classified information, like the

name of michael flynn, to "the new york times" and "washington post" ." both sides seemed to land body blows and it was compelling tv. i was glued to the screen. one of the revelations, fbi chief confirming to the house intelligence committee that his agency is investigating potential links between the trump campaign and the russian government. >> i have been authorized by the department of justice to confirm that the fbi, as part of our current intelligence mission, is investigating the russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. that includes investigating the nature of any links between the trump campaign on the russian government and weather was any coordination between the campaign and russia's efforts. as with any counterintelligence investigation, this will include an assessment of whether any crimes were committed.

>> eric: comey shot down the charge that president obama wiretapped trump tower. >> with respect to the tweets about wiretapping, i have no information that supports those tweets and we have looked carefully inside the fbi. the department of justice has asked me to share with you that the answer is same for the apartment of justice and its components. >> eric: the white house responded. >> he said there's no information to support the allegation that the president made against president obama. is the president prepared to withdraw the accusation and apologize? >> no. we started a hearing, it is still ongoing and as chairman nunes mentioned, this is one in a series of hearings that will be happening. i think there's a lot of areas that still need to be covered. there is a lot of information that still needs to be discussed. >> bret: 2 minutes prior to the show going live, john roberts sent this email ou

out. statement from paul manafort that says "i had no role or involvement in the cyber attack against the dnc or the release of information gained from the attack and i've never spoken with any russian government officials or anyone who claimed to have been involved in the attack, the suggestion that i worked in concert with anyone to release hacked emails or sought to undermine the interests of the united states is false." he goes on to say "despite the constant scrutiny and innuendo, there are no facts or evidence supporting the allegation. nor will there be. disappointed that anyone would give credence to the allegations." >> kimberly: this is pretty much in keeping with what we've been hearing out of the oval office, saying that the mainstream media and the dnc before the election was held was trying to discredit president trump, trying to continue to discredit him and suggesting that people who were advisors to him, you know, and

the people who worked on the campaign had some kind of collusion with russia to make sure that the dnc and the candidacy of hillary clinton was undermined at the expense and then of course putting forward donald trump as the candidate and ultimately the presidents. we have seen no evidence to support those claims despite the fact that they have this ongoing investigation. i think it's smart of paul manafort to release a statement to very much be on the offense and say here's what i'm doing. here's what they've accused me of and put out a clear statement of fact to try to quiet the storm down. >> eric: dana, like i said in the intro, seemed like there were two hearings going on at once. the left attacking, the allegations of wiretaps in the collusion that for the first time ever we heard james comey say yes, there is an ongoing investigation of the ties between the trump campaign, trump administration and russia.

>> dana: a lot going on today. i believe james comey, the fbi director, they didn't say the name paul manafort. that didn't come up until the white house press secretary's briefing today when he described former hangers on who didn't really have a lot of influence. i see paul manafort, he is responding to the fbi but i think also he's responding to the fact that the white house press secretary is the one who brought his name up. i think they could have diffuse the bomb a couple different ways today. meaning the bombshell. one, i think when you find out there's no wiretapping evidence one of the things you could say was, i am so glad no one was wiretapping me. now we can move on and focus on other things. instead, said that there is no evidence of the collusion between russia and the trump campaign, that should be put to bed. no evidence. but at the same time, they wiretapping claim, of which they say there is no evidence, the

vet should continue to be investigated. the other thing the white house could have said and i think they probably will going into tomorrow is that the fbi director also confirmed again there was no russian actual impact on the electoral outcome. the third thing i think they could have said was if the if the fbi says they are investigating, i encourage everyone to fully cooperate. we are moving on and focusing other things. >> eric: trey gowdy's questioning was phenomenal. he was trying to get an who leaked the information about michael flynn to "the washington post" and "new york times" ." and comey and rogers kept saying we can't tell you. how is it possible flynn was being investigated, yet there was no surveillance of trump tower? >> greg: i don't know. that's an excellent question and that's why they are having an investigation. you are seeing two sides.

one believes in talking about the collusion, the other one about the leaks. it's a mirror battle. it's a mirror battle and in my view, they cancel each other out. when i am watching this, to me, it was like watching a really dull ping-pong game. what i don't understand is, they were arguing that if there was a change in relations with russia, that's true. but you could say the exact opposite. if there is no change, there's proof. to hide the fact -- if you did a dirty deal, are you going to immediately change her behavior? if you can argue that a change in behavior or not a change in behavior is proof, then you really don't have an argument because it can go either way. remember, if you are colluding with a foreign government, would you actually brag about it? that's kind of genius. that's like walking into tsa and

bragging about having contraband. you don't do that you're so brilliant, trump is so brilliant, that he knew that while he was having russia will help him win and election, he was boasting about it. >> dana: one of the words the fbi director said was that you can be a part of an investigation. there might've been someone who was unwittingly helping the russians, so they don't even know it. the investigation is more about what russia was trying to do than what other people were doing. >> eric: let me bring juan in. acknowledging the fact that there is an investigation ongoing but not able to talk about age. but when asked, is there an investigation in any of the other campaigns, the clinton campaign or any of the 17 campaigns, saying i can't answer that question. why was able to answer the question about the trump campaign? >> juan: what's going on at this table, gregory, trying to

distract people from the news of the day. the news of the day is that the fbi director jim comey, much hated by the left for his involvement and the finger putting on the scales on the 26 202016 campaign, talking about the tweets. president trump said i was wiretapped. cia, fbi, national security agency, nobody is backing up trump. >> greg: do you honestly think that's a revelation that there was no evidence behind one of trump's tweets? america has gotten used to those tweets. it >> juan: that's fine but he's the president of the united states. unprecedented. >> eric: those on the left and those in the intel community

taking that tweet literally. president obama actually physically wiretapped. >> juan: it extends to surveillance. everybody is saying there was no surveillance. >> eric: how do we have a transcript of michael flynn's conversation with the russians? >> juan: they were looking at the russian ambassador kislyak and he was talking to michael flynn. >> eric: where? >> juan: i don't know where. doesn't matter. >> eric: has to be a trump tower. >> juan: no, it doesn't. here's the other thing that came out today. you are talking about roger stone, paul manafort, carter page, michael flynn, jeff sessions, jared kushner. how many people in the trumps article do you have to have dealing with the russians before you say, you know, i am a republican but i think something's wrong here. >> eric: did you hear the question, how long have the russians been trying to influence american elections.

ask the nsa director and the fbi director and both of them said "for decades." as dana points out, even though they tried to, they didn't change the outcome of anything. >> dana: because they didn't have an unwitting player to help them? >> greg: maybe it is the ghost of ted kennedy. he tried to block reagan. >> kimberly: we are so glad you cleared this up. >> greg: i am pointing out the hypocrisy. finally the left cares about the russians. >> juan: i think everybody didn't like the russians. >> greg: no, no, no. >> eric: whatever triggered this investigation of flynn, contact with the russians, and it's been going on for decades. i've got to assume other campaigns were involved with the russians and why didn't that triggered some kind of investigation where bill clinton was. he was all over the world talking to people who frankly

aren't our friends. where is the investigation and the clinton campaign? >> juan: maybe it's in the weeds with you. you are trying to divert america's attention from the news of the day. >> eric: dealing with some middle eastern countries that absolutely hate us. how is that possible? he was making money giving speeches in these countries. bill clinton. >> juan: i think flynn is the one who's been making money from the russians and the turks. >> kimberly: the fact of the matter -- >> juan: leaks in washington. >> greg: let's replace the russians with isis. just so that everybody is clear about how serious both charges are. if isis was colluding in our elections, we would be freaking out at fox and if we were leaking information between americans talking to isis, we would be freaking out. we have to remind ourselves that these are serious things and tried to push away the political

battles and say both are equally bad and should be investigated. >> juan: i agree but i don't get your point about isis. >> greg: it helps clarify, as an example. we all know that isis is evil. >> juan: the distinguishing factor here is the cyber intrusion. what eric was saying, russians have always been after us, it's the fact they were able to use the cyber intrusion so effectively that all of the intelligence agencies in january confirmed russia interfered in the campaign to the benefit -- >> eric: you were right in the first part. they may have gotten access but they testified today there was no interference. >> juan: no interference? >> eric: didn't change any votes. >> juan: we are talking about something else. they made it out that somehow hilary was dishonest. >> eric: we believe it there. more on the huge day on capitol hill as fbi director

>> kimberly: we are back with more and fbi director james comey's testimony today. lawmakers question him about the disturbing leaks of classified information to the media in recent weeks. >> i think in the last six weeks, couple of months, there's been at least apparently a lot of conversation about classified matters that are ending up in the media. a lot of it is dead wrong, which is one of the challenges. we don't correct it but it does strike me there's been a lot of people talking released reporters think people are talking to them in ways that have struck me as unusually active. >> kimberly: this is one of the important highlights of what we have discovered today in terms of the news and the media. we will see who picks up on it in terms of the mainstream media. to me, this is significant, there's basically confirmation of leaks of information that was released, which is very disturbing, eating going forward. >> dana: leaks are not legal. if you have a clearance, you sign an oath, you swear you're

not going to do it and leaks can lead to serious things, like a special prosecutor, where they went after karl rove for years. he didn't even leak the name. i thought congressman gowdy almost went across the line for me today and talking about specific people and names of people who would've been on the list, this very smallest, probably 35 people, that would have been able to unmask michael flynn's name. now you have a situation where your people who are public servants, political appointees possibly but there are others who don't have it. on the defensive and they have to say i didn't do it. then you are dragging more and more people into it what it seems to me that the fbi was indicating that they do know where the leak came from and maybe as part of the investigation it eventually comes out. it's not a crime to report a leak. they've got to figure out how to stop the leak but if it comes to you, it's not a crime to report it. >> kimberly: trey gowdy has an obligation to ask the questions

and have the transparency but at the same time with an eye toward national security and not revealing information that should remain classified or confidential. >> dana: not an easy hearing to have. >> kimberly: very difficult to thread the needle. eric, what did you make of the revelation? >> eric: i found that most compelling. trey gowdy got to somewhere around 20 people who had the clearance, as dana calls it, unmasked. naming the person was part of the investigation. doesn't have to be a person. it can be an entity. the point is it's not illegal to talk about a leak. it's illegal to, in fact, leak. the law has been broken. you can listen to testimony and realized one of the people who had clearance, access to it to unmask the fisa court warrant and the information has broken the law. gowdy was smart to point out

that's punishable by up to ten years in prison. it's a serious felony violation. he named a couple people. his point was let's narrow it down. get down to the people. after all, this person gave the name of a classified ongoing investigation of "the washington post" and "the new york times," highly illegal. the point being, it is not general flynn next time. one of its kimberly guilfoyle or juan or eric or greg. you don't want to be that person. >> kimberly: this is something that's criminal. they have to get to the bottom of it. today this was disturbing. juan, you would agree. >> juan: to me, i think, from my perspective, you want to encourage leaks for reporters. the thing that is troubling here, to come to eric's point, i think you feel that because michael flynn's name was revealed, that was somehow damaging.

>> eric: it was illegal too. >> juan: no argument about the law but i think leaks are a reality, not only in washington but in the mayor's office, the statehouse. to my mind, the difference is the volume of leaks we heard discussed at the meeting, and the reason for that, let me suggest that mike flynn was the national security advisor. he was being, talking to the russian ambassador, and lying about it and then you have two of the people that were named today, sally yates, the acting attorney general, and loretta lynch, the attorney general. they are identified. you have that national security advisor, president of the united states, not only dealing with the russians. >> eric: you are speculating. >> juan: that's no speculation. >> greg: i love the fact that we believe leaking is a big

deal. i felt that way about snowden and bradley manning, whose leaks were worse than this. leaked documents without even reading them. they didn't even know what was in it. i am all for punishing leakers. we have to remember we are looking at mirror outrage. as we sit here and say this is a big deal and compelling, we are dismissing the other side, the russian investigation. they are doing the same thing to us. >> eric: i agree with you. i think snowden is a whistleblower. the nsa was breaking the law. unconstitutional what they were doing. i also agree, being consistent, michael flynn was breaking the law. he should be punished accordingly. but my point is that has not been judged yet. this is an ongoing investigation. >> juan: mike flynn has said he had to register for taking money from the turkish government. you can't be the national security advisor and not reveal that you took money from a

foreign government. >> kimberly: dana, final thoughts. >> dana: this is not going to end anytime soon. you had the president a couple days ago saying he believes more information will come out the next two weeks. reporters are not going to stop on this. meanwhile, the nation has a very important business. you have the president during a rally tonight in kentucky to rally for the american health care act. going to capitol hill tomorrow to push on it. there will be a vote on thursda thursday. little attention while you have this going on. >> greg: the winner is always going to be putin. it is all about fomenting chaos. it's the appearance that our institutions are failing because his country is failing. this is a wonderful gift. >> kimberly: sort of like your -- >> dana: i think this says something about the trump

administration and the independence of the justice department. fbi director comey had to ask permission from the attorney general to reveal what he did today. it was not flattering to the trump administration and sessions said yes. anyone who was a detractor of jeff sessions should be able to sleep well tonight. >> kimberly: latest on supreme court nominee judge neil gorsuch. will democrats succeed and blocking president trump's nominee to the high court? the command performance sales event is here. experience exceptional offers on our most refined models ever. get up to $2,500 customer cash on select 2017 models for these terms. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

he reminded us that words matte matter. mr. chairman, these days we sometimes hear judges called politicians and robes, seeking to enforce their own politics rather than seeking to apply the law impartially. i don't think that is what a life in the law is about. >> dana: democrats have vowed to block gorsuch and today it seemed like they have no plans to back down. >> i am concerned when i hear that judge gorsuch is and originalist. >> i know of no other nominee who was selected by interest groups rather than by president in consultation with the senate, as required by the constitution. >> cases like trans am trucking, it was so cold. it was 14 degrees below. not as cold as your dissent,

judge gorsuch, which argued his firing was lawful. >> having reviewed your decisions in your writings, i have concerns. if past is prologue, then i fear confirm you would guarantee more of the same. >> dana: kimberly, when senator durbin brings up trans am trucking, i feel like he's not being fair to gorsuch because in that case in the written decision, gorsuch says this is not how i personally believe that i have to follow the law. isn't that what everybody would want to? someone who would follow the law? >> kimberly: you take an oath to uphold the law and sit there on the bench, instead of legislating, put forward your own political ideologies, engaging in judicial activism which we are seeing in the review of president trump's executive order, he saying i'm not gonna do that. not in accord with my personal beliefs and specifically my decisions should not be. should be based on the law and upholding it. then when i hear senators like

feinstein saying i'm concerned because he's a strict constitutionalist and is basically going to hear to the letter of the law. that is what you are supposed to do. that's exactly the rules you're supposed to follow. they don't like it? they want them to bend the rules and make it more favorable to their ideology? that's not the standard. good for him, and i think that was a core example for them to try to use against neil gorsuch. >> dana: greg, i bet you love opening statement day. >> greg: is amazing. under normal circumstances, under normal administrations, this hearing would be a big story the trump presidency is like coachella or lollapalooza. where do you go? not sure. that's the benefit of the white house. the media after fanout. there are so many attractions.

right now, russia is radiohead but gorsuch is like the better band in the corner lot but he's not getting the proper audience. everybody is going this way and that way. it's brilliant. trump is the lollapalooza presidency. >> dana: that's better than the analogy i used about raccoons in a room full of disco balls. eric, this is a big moment that republicans have been waiting for. this is what they really, really wanted in a supreme court justice. >> eric: i think this is going to be the easy one for everyone, including greg, who has to decide what he's going to watch. you are right. you have the james comey hearing going on. >> greg: that is radiohead. >> eric: and then spicer is over here. people kept going back and fort forth. gorsuch has his first day and no

one's watching him. would have been a big story. >> greg: you would get a better seat at gorsuch today. >> eric: front row. here's the bottom line, this isn't going to be the big fight. the big fight is the next one, replacing ruth bader ginsburg or kennedy or someone else. >> dana: do you think they will try to drag this out and force mitch mcconnell to pull the trigger and go for a 51-vote threshold? >> juan: i think at the moment, the drag out is to get it beyond this term. right now, mitch mcconnell, senate majority leader, says let's have a vote for easter which is april 14th. somewhere in that neighborhood. the idea is, if he does, he gets into some cases they will still be arguing. the idea is, i don't think anybody's going to stop him at this point, but the democrats

know the liberal base associates him with trump and associates gorsuch with what happened to merrick garland. especially today, i thought you saw the democrats on the committee making it clear, we haven't forgotten you wouldn't even give merrick garland the courtesy of a hearing. i think garland might have been nominated in march of last year. it's been a year and nothing. >> kimberly: this is political payback? >> dana: a year ago today. >> juan: i think that's what's going on here, just anger, though kind of partisan head knocking. >> dana: you can lose fast or loose flow. i had, after laying low since the election, hillary clinton has reemerged. what she said about her political future next. ...and his pants ignited into flames,

kentucky's senators against each other. rich mcconnell's for it, wrote an op-ed about it. rand paul, one of the most vocal critics against it pretty will not be here tonight. mitch mcconnell will, as will thousands of people. the other question is will president trump bring up went went down on capitol hill? will he address what fbi director james comey just said, given the fact that he has already tweeted about it about six times, i'm guessing there's a pretty good chance he's going to bring it up. the first chance he will have to speak publicly about it. >> juan: kristin fisher in louisville. thank you so much. greg, what do you think? is there a chance he says, you
