>> jesse: never miss an episode of "the five," hannity is up next. >> many thanks to our friends at the five, this is a fox news alert, major breaking news tonight. the department of justice has appointed former fbi director robert mueller as a special counsel to oversee the investigation into russian election interference, possible interference come out tonight laura ingraham, geraldo rivera, dennis kucinich, lou dobbs are all here with reaction, but first. everything we have been telling you since november the eighth has been coming to fruition as i explained last night in an unprecedented move, fiveve powerful groups are now aligning to takedown president trump. their goal is simple, they do not want president trump to govern and they will do anything and to say anything to stop him from enacting the agenda you

elected him to enact. we're going to explain tonight what you can do and how to fight back and that's tonight's opening monologue. last night we told you about the five groups that are wanting to stop president trump. these groups are the swamp that needs to be drained. let me explain, you've got the destroy trump media, perhaps among the worst, they are bitter, they are hostile. every night, constantly coming up with one bizarre conspiracy theory after another, lie after lie after lie. you've got a group lot number t, the democrats. totally unhinged, they still can't get over the fact that donald trump one and hillary lost. number three, perhaps the most dangerous, the deep state. they are targeting president trump. selectively leaking informationa true or not true. they are at war with the president united states, numberr four.

the never-trumpers, group like national review, the weekly standard, people who never thought or wanted donald trump to win, never thought he could win. they were proven so wrong at 2016. number five, establishment republicans.1616 they never supported president trump, never supported his agenda, they're looking for any excuse because they're afraid of their own shadow, they'll get blamed with the government shutdown. make no mistake about it, these five groups are directly threatened by present donald trump. his presidency means the destruction of everything they stand for. the old way about how washington, d.c., works. if the president succeeds it means that they fail, they are out of business. what's happening? they are doing everything they can possibly do to try and stopt all of that from happening. let me remind you -- these are people, they laughed at, mocked

president trump, they thought it was a funny thing ever, he can't win. >> donald trump has been saying he would run for president as a republican which is surprising because i just assumed he was running as a joke. >> we've better be ready for the fact that he might be leading the republican ticket. [laughter] >> i know you don't believe that but i want to go on. >> which republican candidate has a best chance of winning the general election? >> of the declared ones, right now, donald trump. [laughter] >> sean: he can't win it's the funniest thing ever, remember election night, i remember election night well, i was sitting in my bed, channel to channel to channel after donald trump won, all across the television dial, it was ach funeral, they couldn't believe it, it was shock and awe, remember this. >> america is crying tonight, i'm not sure how much of america but a very significant portion, i mean literally crying.

this is a sadness, it is a mourning moment for those people. it is a moment filled with fear. >> our country is about to face some serious crises, buckle up, your country needs you. >> this was a white lash, this was a white lash against a changing country, it was a white lash against a black president in part and that's the part where the pain comes. >> sean: now that shock is given away to anger and real bitterness on their parts. since that day, they have now been relentlessly pushing bizarre tinfoil hat conspiracy theories, lies, all in attempt to takedown president trump, don't believe me, we've got the videotape all for you. >> wouldn't it be nice if it was just completely, totally, absolutely impossible to suspect that vladimir putin orchestrated

what happens in syria this week so that his friend in the white house could have a big night with missiles and all of the praise he's picked up over the last 24 hours, wouldn't it be so nice if you couldn't even in your wildest dreams imagine a scenario like that. >> i'll say it again, w this russian connection keeps building, every time it builds an expense you have to wonder if trump himself isn't worried about was swelling around under the covers. >> cnn has learned new details into the fbi investigation into potential links and individuals associated with a trump campaign in the russian government. a >> i think what it means in trump's organization are moving in collusion with the russians. >> sean: hysteria on television every day and night, one manufactured scandal, to the next manufactured scandal creating smears, lies attacks

are going to stick and lead to president trump's downfall. president trump gave a russian foreign minister are classified information, while they were visiting the white house last week. it was denied by the trump administration officials were actually in the room. but they have their sources,bu h outside sources and sources formally in the administration and sources from mars sapparently. that's only 1 of 3 stories "the washington post" has gotten wrong in the past two weeks. "the washington post," like the rest of the destroy trump media has no credibility and that'soy why our friend newt gingrich has very wisely said and is now saying he is personally offended by the american news media and they were disgusting and destructive. the former speaker is right, along with every single thing he

is saying on our show. they are wetting their pants over "the new york times" report that cites a memo james comey claiming that president trump asking the now former, fired, disgruntled, failed fbi director to end the investigation into lieutenant general michael flynn.ir he took notes, it's his word against trump's. himthe media is believing in believing what he says. you've got the predictably deranged democrats, there unhinged allies, they are not this opportunity. they are now calling for president trump's impeachment and they know no facts. here's your honest media at work lying to you as usual. >> i rise today mr. speaker to call for the impeachment of the president of the united states of america. for obstruction of justice. >> are we getting closer and

closer of the possibility of another impeachment process? >> after watching the clinton impeachment i thought i never see another one, i think were impeachment territory for the first time. >> we are well on our way to impeachment because there is a t clear set of facts that show obstruction of justice. >> this is heading toward the end, right? it has to be, right? it feels that way. >> sean: wrong, in spite of all the foaming at the mouth, the media and the democrats think this is their chance, they've got to get the presidents now while they've got time. unlike the destroy trump media and running wild conspiracy theories, here on this program we actually care about truth and about facts and about reality. donald trump is not getting impeached over the james comey

deal. as we explained in great detail on monday, james comey deserves to be fired. he wasn't a so-called champion of truth. he was a complete failure. he was a national embarrassment. his conduct was shameful. we explained how he disrespected the constitution, the rule of law, equal justice under the law for every american. he created a two-tiered justice system one for billnd and hillary clinton and one for the rest of us. comey himself laid out the case for hillary clinton committing felony after felony and explained how she broke several laws with her extremely careless behavior. the standard is grossly mismanaged, gross negligence, take a look. >> from the group of 30,000 emails returned to the state department in 2014, 110 emails in 52 email chains has been determined to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. eight of those chains contained

information that was top-secret at the time they were sent, 36 of those chains containedon a secret information at the time, and eight contained confidential information, that's the lowest level of classification. separate from those, about 2,000 additional emails were classified to make them confidential. those emails had not been classified at the time they were sent.. >> sean: he described felonies but he played politics. he gives hillary clinton a free pass. he got a full year of prison, he took pictures inside a summer and was serving on. the extremely suspicious of uranium one deal, but remember hillary clinton herself gave a waiver that allows 20% of american uranium to go to vladimir putin, a real russian connection. the clintons stuffed theiro pockets with millions and millions of dollars while she

was serving as secretary of state and comey didn't and think it was important enough to investigate. we all care about the constitution, a fourth amendment privacy rights. we know the obama administration, during the campaign season at 600% increase that they surveilled on masse and it leaked the name of lieutenant general michael flynn. that's a violation of the espionage act. it's the only crime we actually know was committed in this wholc russia conspiracy theory in the media never talks about it. comey had a reason to act and he didn't act. james comey didn't do his job, he got fired. now he's a bitter partisan and he's out for blood. he's a disgruntled, fired ex-employee and anything he hasr to say for himself in a memo it's his word versus trump's and it's meaningless. donald trump is not getting impeached over this. what'd i say the day he got fired?

comey look at a multimillion dollar book deal, a movie, a miniseries, primetime special, diane sawyer, or maybe evenut george stephanopoulos, why not go totally in for the clintons and msnbc contributor ship. he wants be booked on rachel trump haters in the country. james comey's so concerned about this dinner with the president, why didn't he immediately go to the department of justice and sound the alarm? he had a legal obligation to do so as my colleague pointed out,a comey may have in fact broken to laws by not coming forward if he thought this was an attempt at obstruction of justice. whoever having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony and does not as soon as possible make known at the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority, shall be fined under this or imprisoned not under three years or both.

three years. according to u.s. code 13.61, the district courts shall have original jurisdiction to compel an officer or employee of the united states or any agency thereof to perform a duty owed to the plaintiff. last week to the congressional hearing to the acting fbi director andrew mccabe saygr this? >> i think the american people want to know, as the dismissal impeded, interrupted, stopped, or negatively impacted any of the work, any investigation, or any ongoing projects at the federal bureau of investigation? >> the work of the men and women of the fbi continues despite any changes in circumstance, any decisions. there has been no efforts to

impede our investigation to date. >> sean: this is so important, this comey the story is part of the larger puzzle tonight. i want you to pay really close attention. it is another piece, you've got these five powerful groups actively trying to take down a sitting united states presidents. these five forces are trying to create enough confusion and doubt because they are trying at the very least to stop president trump from doing the job that he promised you he would do.. if they want to keep the current system perfectly intact becauset that's where they maintain their own power. so many of you are writing meet, you are worried about their theatrics, the hysteria in the media. you're worried about the democrats calling forr impeachment, you are worried about the deep state andnd the leaking. you're worried about never trumpers now feeling vindication and relevancy again, i often say on the radio show in life, let not your heart be

troubled. it's time for you to stand upth and fight. you voted for the economy, you voted for the economy and the plant to grow the economy to get people off of poverty, out of food stamps, back in the labor force and get the home ownership rate at the 51 your low back up again. if you voted for all of those things, lower taxes.th you voted for extreme venting, you voted for obamacare at repealing and replacing, it's happening. you voted for a stronger posture to defeat isis. you voted for a much stronger military. more importantly, you voted to drain the swamp. here's my advice to you. if you voted, if this was your t dream for america in november, stop wringing your hands, start fighting for the things that you voted for. this is a real clear threat to what you wanted in november. get engaged. y this battle is now being fought for the hearts and minds of the

american people, listen can't be an option. coming up, laura ingraham joins us next for reaction to tonight's monologue and tonight: -- >> president trump: no politician in history -- and i say this with great surety -- has been treated worse or more unfairly. >> sean: there is an effort to destroy donald trump's presidency, breaking news tonight, robert mueller has been appointed as a special counsel to oversee the russia investigation, there's been some answers. we'll get reaction geraldo rivera, david limbaugh, a former congress dennis kucinich is saying about the deep state sounded the alarm people in that community are trying to take down the president, finally a democrats willing to address the deep state intelligence leaking, he'll join us along with governor mike huckabee, straight ahead. it's over.

i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced, our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free. see you around, giulia ♪

i need the phone that's where i happen to be... to be the one that rings. i need not to be missed phone calls... to not be missed. i need seamless handoff... canyon software. from reception, to landline, to mobile. i need one number... not two. i'm always moving forward... because i can't afford to get stuck in the past. comcast business. built for business. >> sean: fox news alert, the department of justice has named former fbi director robert t mueller is a special counsel to oversee the investigation into russian interference in the election, will have analysis, our legal panel coming up. first joining us with reaction, national syndicated radio talk show host, laura ingraham.

do you agree on the five alliance of people they're trying to destroy the president? >> i did a few quick cursory searches going back to november and it was within a week of donald trump winning the presidency when everyone was shocked, i'm glad you played those old clips of ashen faces of reporters, that the left began to write about and urge possibilities towards impeachment. this is something they had in mind ever since they got hit with a two by four on election night. they will continue to work fast and furious toward this goal of not only resisting the trump agenda, but they hope to humiliate him, destroy him, and then destroy along with him the conservative populist agenda that he ran on that stood for strong borders, no amnesty,

getting rid of the bad trade deals, less of a globall policeman role for the united states. a lot of people are threatened by that agenda. i'm so glad you race that created that's something we should talk about here, no serious person thinks that donald trump obstructionist justice in a conversation with comey, if he did, comey would have reported it as his his legal duty as you pointed out in your monologe. that's his legal duty to do so, he didn't, an investigation was not obstructed, that's all preposterous. under article two, the president has a duty and a right to oversee the fbi. and properly delegate the law enforcement to the fbi and try to insulated from politics butrl that's not to curbo the president's article two authority over the fbi. if he wants to meet and give his opinion or talk about his hopes if indeed he said that, he has

every right to do so. >> sean: it's interesting that james comey may have committed a crime if he thought he attempted to obstructtt justice, he didn't take it now. were reminding him of the law, there are no laws that hillary clinton had broken. i would be surprised if he didn't know this one. he's btiter, he'll have us book deal, that's all coming. "the washington post," let's go back to that story, there's a feeding frenzy.s he liked intelligence, nobodyy cared about hillary, but more importantly "the washington post" last week got two big stories wrong about the deputy attorney general threatening to quit.moy he said i never threatened to quit. james comey asking for more money, we've got plenty of money, we don't need the money. people see the headline, the wrong of the time, there cheered when i got such a response. >> i've got to say come out remember when donald trump

talked about the jeff basil media, we all expected the post which is already left-wing to move even further left. now it's an extension of the dnc. for the most part, "the new york times" might be a little better, they have good reporters at both places, i'm not trying to besmirch the reputation of all reporters. on some of this and stuff, it is so irresponsibly reported, taking so many anonymous sources with literally no accountability, it seems like an ax to grind. there's never any question of the motivation of the leakers. over at "the new york times," they are willing to go with the story about a memo they haven't even seen.n. who is talking about those journalistic elements? >> sean: memo to self, donald trump is as this. >> no one ever writes self-serving memos. >> sean: again he should've told the justice department if they thought he was attempting to obstruct justice. let me pick your legal mind here.

with all the hysteria, it's breathless reporting, all the media, i think were the only rational, sane people now, it's crazy to hear me say that. put your legal hat on for just a second. there is nothing here, legally, nothing. what is the effect of this? >> i don't think the most serious legal scholars or commentators believe any crime was committed to. remember with impeachment, the crime -- the conduct is whatever congress decides it is, it doesn't have to be a crime. it can be whatever congress decides it's going to be at that moment. that's number one, number two, what they want to do is stop this agenda. if they can call his integrity into question, i'm not say he c, hasn't made mistakes, he has made mistakes in judgment and in some cases has been poorly served by the staff. if they can cut up his judgment,

his integrity, his credibility, they believe they will scare the pusillanimous republicans who need to grow a spine, they will scare them into a defensive crouch, they want to do the ready to go should have nafta, they're waiting for to drop. if that's with the democrats are counting on. if you have people likeif john mccain who shamelessly went out and mentioned watergate, when you see something like mccain do that you wonder why -- we don't even need a chuck schumer if we have john mccain. and others, congressman who is a good guy and a conservative guy, what is he doing? what is he mentioning impeachment for? i'm going to be crude and not so nice. it is a level of stupidity and defensiveness that you never see the democrats acting defensive. they all stay together and they all defend their people and

their positions. republicans of the first one to turn tail and run when any "new york times" reporter comes knocking, it's really reprehensible. >> sean: laura ingraham appreciated as always. former fbi director is appointed to oversee the so-called russian investigation, geraldo rivera weighs in on that breaking news. former congressmanbr dennis kucinich sounds the alarm about the deep state and leaks coming from the intelligence community and what a threat itee is to our democratic republic. he'll join us along with governor mike huckabee. lou dobbs is here with powerful reaction to our fake newsal roundup. which is such a dad thing to do. after he gave his name the woman from capital one said "mr. garner, are you related to jennifer?" kind of joking with him. and my dad was so proud to tell her, "as a matter of fact, she is my middle daughter".

election, robert mueller investigating possible russian meddling. a bipartisan investigation will continue in the house. mitch mcconnell saying the appointment appointment says the investigation into russian meddling will continue. president obama asked him to stay as fbi director after his 10-year term ended. "as i have stated many times, a thorough investigation will confirm what i already know, there was no collusion between my campaign and any foreign entity." i'm jackie ibanez, now back to "hannity." ♪ >> president trump: look at the way i've been treated lately. especially by the media. no politician in history -- and i say this with great surety -- has been treated worse or more

unfairly. >> sean: president trump is speaking earlier today and alsow tonight new developments were learning the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein has appointed a former fbi director robert mueller, now been appointed to oversee the investigation into russian meddling into the 2016 election. they told us it didn't impact one vote. what impact do they have? they should know. geraldo rivera and the author of "the new york times" best-selling book his ninth best seller, "the true jesus, under covering the divinity of theiviv gospels", david limbaugh. i think this is a good thing. they've been clamoring for it, let them get it. we've been told repeatedly let's get to the bottom of it, gave on, let's go. >> and the appointment of this special prosecutor, looks like a cya move, the doj knows there's nothing there.

there's been no evidence at all of any collusion. appointing him may tamp down some of the allegations of impropriety, the relationship between trump interfering with the investigation and all that. it gives them some distance and think it might hurt politically but we don't know who ordered it. >> sean: why does it hurt politically to say were going to get to the bottom of it?rd >> that admittedly doesn't, that helps politically, it fuels the democratic fire. there's nothing here and yet we add another layer that lends credence to it. i'm not saying we shouldn't have done it, -- >> sean: he needs to govern and this breathless hysteria that is existing in the deep state leaks, it's hurting his ability to do his job. >> i totally agree, i have a slightly different take than david does. i think this shifts focus from the senate and the house which are now hotbeds of covering your backside and to the fbi's investigation, he is a much more

prudent organization now in charge. this guy at mueller is an inspired choice. he was the fbi director from 9/11 on, he helped fashion the fbi into a counterterrorism organization with much more 's vaunted abilities in terms of foreign security, national security, i think he is untouched by politics as far as i know. he's unimpeachable in many ways, i think this will help depoliticize the investigation. if there is no there there, he's exactly to guy the find truth. >> i don't disagree withru eithr of you on the political aspects of that. remove it, get some distance. guess who is the most unimpeachable guy character wise, ken starr, they destroy him. i'm not saying they will do that to mueller. >> they had to do it. if it wasn't him, it was the acting ag there.

what they had to do was restore confidence. we know zero evidence of collusion. unlike watergate, there is no crime at the heart of this. when you see people starting to tell stories out of school, or inappropriate -- >> sean: can we open up the uranium one deal, the real russia collusion story. all the people involved in the deal, sent believes of the foundation, can we look at that too? >> i think this has gone tooti far -- >> sean: so the answer is no. >> i believe what goes around comes around. a lot of the bitterness that exists now toward donald trump in washington, d.c., has to do with the fact that nobody expected him to win it,, so election 2016 is theo prime caue of what we are saying and also benghazi. it was dragged out on a lot of very reckless things were said

about hillary clinton and others. this is in many ways, but it's karma with revenge tinted in. now mueller can clearin donald trump. that's the key thing. you can't assume because is a special prosecutor that he's going to find something. i do agree sometimes is have a life of their own.. >> sean: 40 years, $40 million in the blue dress, i remember it all. i think uranium going to vladimir putin is a big deal,l, that's russian collusion and money in their pockets. >> people who are upset with conservatives who are defending trump seem to think that we can't defend trump without being a cheerleader and were always point he got democratic hypocrisy. this is more the democratic hypocrisy, this is democratic

wrongdoing and they are accepting the best interests of the country. by making these fraudulent allegations about russian collusion, they are hurting the country, they are undermining election results, that's a separate wrong.el i can say i'm disappointed with the way trump has handed certain things, he shouldn't tweet certain things, but i also want to talk about how bad the democrats -- with the democrats are doing. >> sean: this is good to be interesting to my thinker on th. right path here. i do. they told us it didn't impact one vote commits them to put up or shut up. a former democratic congressman says the deep state, people inside the intelligence community are trying to destroy the president. he'll join us next along with governor mike huckabee, andnc ao tonight. >> the determined the forces of evil that surround this white house are trying to destroy the trump presidency and it appears for nothing less. this is a war, so get to war.

>> sean: a strong message to republicans who are weak and feckless and a spineless, he'll be here and weigh in on that, in our fake news roundup segmentn: so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. whatwhat made them believeace carthat a two-ton behemothhop? could compete in a track race? or that they could take on the elite in world motor racing, and win? we may never truly understand what drives mercedes-amg. but here's to another 50 years of it. mercedes-amg. half a century of driving performance. on mattress firmness?

mike huckabee. how bad is this? former congressmen kucinich. >> you have politicization of agencies and the intention is to take on the president. this is very dangerous to america. it's a threat to our republic, it constitutes a clear and present danger to our way of life. we have to be asking, what is the motive of these people? who's putting these leaks out? why doesn't somebody come forward and make a charge and put their name and reputation behind it, instead of attackingn through the media and notug substantiating their position? >> sean: you agree with me, this is a real danger when you have the intelligence community in the election season under the guise of national security that are spying on an opposition

party candidate and transition team at a 600% increase rate from the years prior to the election season. >> we have to remember -- our first allegiances to our country. this isn't about one president, this is about the political process of the united states of america being under attack by intelligence agencies and individuals in those agencies an you said there might be good feelings unlike people in there, there are certain individuals who want to direct the policy as a country. if the president stands in their way whether it's a democrat or republican -- >> sean: let me repeat what you said, you're saying president trump is under attack y the deep state community.et >> i believe that, not only that, it has to be pointed out in october of 2016, that same deep state overrode the decision of president obama and secretary kerry, to come to with an agreement, the overrode it and

launched an attack against the syrian military base. this is a problem in our country, we have to protect our nation, people have to be aware of what's going on, we have to stand up for america, this isn't aboutoi democrat, republican. this is about getting what's going on in the moment and understanding that our country g itself is under attack from within. >> sean: wow, governor huckabee. >> i want to say thanks to congressman kucinich for having the courage to speak truth rather than party politics. we hear a lot of these commentators talk about the constitutional crisis and we have one. the constitutional crisis is not with the president has said or done. the constitutional crisis is unelected career bureaucrats who are trying to subvert the person that the voters chose. we have a constitutional process to remove people, it's called a ballot. the only time that this nonsense talk about impeachment should even come up is when there is

irrefutable evidence that is so overwhelming that people in theo president's own partyen would think that he has to go. only twice in american history has a presence been impeached. neither time was that president convicted? i think president trump should come out and say you want to impeachic me? knock yourselves out. go ahead. put the articles out there, let's do it, let's endad the democratic party forever because first of all, you're not going to have the votes to have an impeachment in the house and you're never going to get the votes in the senate. if that's what you want to do, just tell maxine waters and tell some of these other people, do it, go forth, knock yourselvesax out, make this happen. make donald trump a martyr and make him the most popular and effective president that we've had probably in our lifetime. >> sean: well said both of you i appreciate you being with us. important commentary, on this busy, breaking news night on hannity. >> the course of the presidencyb the public showdown with james

comey. did he try to block the fbi's investigation to commit an impeachable offense? >> sean: part of the destroy trump media with a breathless coverage of the memo and a special prosecutor, our fake news roundup coming next, lou dobbs also here tonight there's nothing more important to me than my vacation. so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want.

>> sean: welcome back to hannity come a time for news roundup featuring all the usual >> sean: welcome back to hannity, time for fake news roundup featuring all the usual suspects at the same time, their favorite tactics including calls for president trump's impeachment, questions over his competency, here's your fake news roundup. >> the course of trump's presidency will turn on his public showdown with james comey. did president trump try tohmhm block the fbi's russian investigation commit an impeachable defense? >> that makes them only want to get to the bottom of why the president seems to have this fealty, subservience to russia more than to the constitutionn and the rule of law and justice in the united states. >> if this man or the ceo of any fortune 500 company, the board of directors would have fired him weeks ago. >> donald trump now sits at the threshold of impeachment.

>> sean: here with reaction, lou dobbs. i have identified five groups of people that want to destroy this president you agree with me. the media, the democrats, the deep state, establishment republicans that can't fight over shutting on the government and in the never trumpers that want relevancy. >> sean: this is what you said in a powerful monologue. >> the determined forces of evil that surround this white house are trying to destroy the trump presidency and will settle it appears for nothing less. this is a war, so get to war. >> sean: i mentioned my five groups, i think you agree. if the american people who voted for him want his agenda fulfilled, that got to go fight for it, because they're trying to kill him politically. >> you're exactly right, i am

most concerned about everything that's going on, i am most concerned about the millions of americans who voted for this man and how much they are willing to sacrifice and fight for this man, this country, his agenda. our destiny right now is in the hands of this president and we got to support him. what we are watching is a bunch of rino republicans and establishment republicans who haven't got the guts to step forward, i was so happy to see paul ryan. say i have a full confidence in this president, none of this mealymouthed nonsense, standing up tall. that is precisely what we'veou been begging for for months. >> sean: the last link, the three greatest threats breathless reporting, we got him, every night.

the deep sate, i'm not even worried about the democrats as much but the deep state leaking and the media is trying to destroyhe this man. >> doing knowing full well that is nonsense, it's being carried by the national left-wing media. they note, as you listen to george stephanopoulos and some of these characters talk about impeachment, are you kidding me? even they have a basic understanding of law, the constitution, and the understanding of the facts. if there is nothing that arises even to the level of obstruction of justice. on the part of this president. he is caring about his mandate in his responsibility. >> sean: if it did rise to obstruction of justice, he had a legal responsibility to go to the justice department or he is violating the law.ee even if he thought of, now he

doesn't think it. >> i want to see all of his other memos. he writes a memo after talking with the president of the united states. i want to see all of those memos going back through mr. obama. i want to see the obama comey memos. chronological order, will start with those memos and will get to the trump memos. >> sean: is his word versus trump's at the end of the day, enough to rise to the level, if he thought it was obstruction of justice, he's admitted to a crime. lou dobbs i really admire thatev about you. when we come back, our very important need to help, seriously, question of the day. ♪

♪ i'm dr. kelsey mcneely and some day you might be calling me an energy farmer. ♪ energy lives here.

>> sean: ten temper the question of the day. the president said no politician has been treated worse or more unfairly than him. do you think? do you agree?
