i'd. >> [music playing] >> it goes on a little bit longer and is on my twitter account to at @sean hannity. that is all the time we have tonight and we'll see you back here on monday at. >> tucker: good evening and . good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight.. president trump was watching yesterday a nd renderedd his murder that former fbi director james comey's testimony on the hill is a major victory to the administrationti side, a complee dedication. >> yesterday no showed no collusion or obstruction and was an excuse by the democrats who lost an election who some think they should not have lost and is impossiblele for the democrats o lose the electoral colleges, as you know and have two run up the whole east coast and when everything as a republican and

is just what we did and is an excuse. frankly, james comey confirmed a lot of what we said. here is what is true as of 8:00 p.m. eastern to tight donald trump is still the president of the u.s. and on the most basic level, comey's testimony failed to make it goal. there was collusion, imperils our way of life, you hear those all the time and hear them every night on the show but nobodyob n dc believes that and cannot explain how it happened or what the effects were. no idea and don't care, they just want trump gone and anyone who is in the way. they tried racism, remember that.bi hillary clinton based an entire presidential campaign on that

idea. it didn't work and he got a higher percentage than four years before with the mitt romney. someone came up with the idea as trump as trader with a russian agent posing as a 70 -year-old real estate developer. it kind of worked with half the country bought it and 100% of cmmnc viewers were in. mike lost his job and others might follow and know are trying for jeff sessions who is not only the attorney general but the smartest and principal person in thaton administration. he has to go and of course is a russian spine also. afterwards if you went behind closednd doors and was supposedo be secret, the entire point of a closed door meeting. apparently, comey suggested that jeff sessions might have interacted with the russianin

ambassador in the spring of 2016. those are h the things, may have or suggested and even if it is true, who cares, what exactly does it mean. nancy pelosi never wanted to wait for facts and demanding that sessions resign. i did say on march 2 that he should resign as attorney w general. waith the a second. whatat is the crime. is there evidence he worked with russia to elect president trump? never has been any evidence and what he is accused of doing meeting with the ambassador and the senate office and was one of the 25 times he met in 2016 with the ambassador in session's duties and then during the republican convention he spoke at an event called global parkers and democracy with dozens of ambassadors attending

that event. after the speech, he, a pparently, spoke with the ambassador whose job it is to talk with senators. sessions never hitit those that simply said they took place in hisnd capacity as a senator. zero prove he is lying about that and came under pressure. you think that would end the matter, but, of course it didn't and it's not about truth or fairness that is about a democratically elected government that the permanents and washington does not like. collusion with the foreign government is tantamount to treason and definitely a moral crime and would never defend it and no evidence it actually h happened with the full story a hoax and the lies they tell it are beginning to believe and is deeply hurting our country with

otherwise smart people press forward as if it was real despite mounting evidence it is not real at all. comey will senate that a major new york times storyy that pushd a russian collusion narrative was w garbage. >> that report by the new york times was not true, is that a fair statement? >> itru was not true. people talking about it often don't know what is going on and those of those who do know what is going on don't talk about it and do not call the press that you got this wrong about this sensitive topic, we just have to be that there. it was based on anonymous sources and after comey made the remarks they admitted they could not find those responses dash people for a response. america's's rulings has gone crazy. where does this and? a retired professor and fellow

at the hoover institution joining us now. watching the hearings, are you more or less convinced that donald trump and his associates worked with the russians? >> james comey is a tragic figure in the more he tries to salvage his character the more he denigrates it and everything he said was not logical. all of the information about the collusion came from the fbi and on three occasions am commenting on the status with hillary clinton and did not make sense writing a memo and said after tromp it was such an extraordinary conversation andpr felt so compromised he might have to record on a government computer and, yet, testifies loretto lynch did not suggest they gave a direct order on

which semantics to use but did not right a memo. there are in lot of things that to not corroborate with each other. loretto lynch is at the core of all of the ears when he was shocked that he hinted he would like to see flynn treated well, loretto lynch did not hint, she gave him a direct order. with trumpth he resisted. he was very resistant about tromp's suggestions but had no effecthi on the investigation ad did not object to tromp in a way that he did not back down to lynch. the february article was the signature moment that developed at thes trump collusion story based on anonymous sources but

comey was using euphemisms based on the sources and are all about the euphemism for unmasking and now the subject of a subpoena by the house intelligence committee. >> subpoenas are the power were susan rice or john brennan were using surveillance to find information. unmasking those names and then leaking them to the press. they cannot find the original sources because they are on -- under sabina or their subordinates willan be and comey doesy not want to get anywhere near that story. . i would never claim that the trumpam administration is blameless, it is frustrating to watch but does seem to me that he is dead of -- democratically

elected and a group of unelected peoplehe are trying to undo the results, not a conspiracy not, do you see that happening? >> barack obama in the middle of an investigation said there was nothing there and know that president say all sorts of things in confidential conversations. this is, sort of, a narrative that is political in origin and tries to delegitimize trump with no evidence of collusion and puts pressure on purple state house members aligning themselves on key issues if they calcify or ossify the house that trump seems to be week and a narrative that is very, very foreboding which is, did the obama administration on mask and

leak names of american citizens? if that were true, we don't know much aboutut it and would have been absorbed with this non- story. i would like to finish that by saying these people make the necessary gymnastics to survive aal change in administration and before trump came into office, there were leaks about collusion and then comey assures him he is not the subject of an investigation, which it was leaked that he was with timing surreal making adjustments to fit the next administration and massage themselves in a way that would be .suitable. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. a news conference today, the president president denied asking for a loyalty oath.

>> would you be willing to speak under oath to give your version like. >> 100%. >> if robert mueller wanted to talk with you-- >> iem wha would be happy to tem what i told you. >> director >> director comey's interview was hardly t the impeachment information they were looking for. >> not often you have him think he could not trust the p resident. >> and honest man under oath that does not focus much attention on telling the truth. >> he wanted the case against g his friend, michael flynn, to go away and hounded the fbi director. >> brief found resolute testimony detailing the frightening reality of president trump's pattern for contempt on justice.

>> donete calloway is a strategt and former representative. thank you for coming on. this describes the hillary campaign and the aftermath. within 24 hours of the concession speech assembling the communication team to engineer thegi case that it was not entirely on the other end up with the russian hacking the centerpiece of the argument. this was a strategy devised in the ashes of the clinton campaign to delegitimize trump and has been far more youth active than anyone expected. >> it should matter to everyone and confirmed by 22 different independent agencies and confirmed by director comey is the russians interfered in the process and to the benefit of now president donald trump andwt don't know w if there was

collusion and based on the evidence we have now, there was no collusion and the interfered in our election, that we should be troubling to everyone. no one is saying that didn't happened. >> i am saying it didn't happen. not one person who has ever made that allegation to me as how they affect it the outcome, at all. they did not hack it or alter it. >> we know that it was hacked with director comey saying there is no doubt, whatsoever. >> we doe not know that effecti am willing to give you that. what we do know is there was hacking andol involved exposing secret e-mails, internal workings of the democratic p arty. >> we don't know that. >> we do know that. >> it is not up for debate.

>> everything is up for debate to, because nothing is settled. you havey mindless people that o not know any details nodding ind unison. l if you look at the details, the dnc servers were never examined because the clinton people would not allow that. by the way, no evidence, at all. >> all we can say, tucker, is you say hacking did not happen. the director of the fbi yesterday, under no said it happened. >> who did it is the question. >> yesterday he was asked and said i have no doubt that russia interfered with our election process. >> what does thatbody mean? they do not want to get involved and do not know what the answer.

it has been decided. did it happen, and what effect? in't an act of bipartisanship, e do noten know that you fat. >> not a meaningful claim unless we can explain what it means. >> it happened. we do not know that you that, we just don't know how it happened. the attorney general of the u.s., jeff sessions, i think it is legitimate, you do not agree, that is a fine, but they are trying to take him out of commission on the grounds he is somehow collaborating with the russians with the comey saying that in a cowardly and disgusting way on the floor yesterday. this guy, the attorney general brushed elbowsmb with the russin ambassador. does that make him a collaborator with the russian government? >> two times last summer during

an advocate andv surrogate for the trump campaign, then s enator, knelt attorney general sessionss met with russian individuals with one probably being the russian ambassador and did not properly disclose that during his senate confirmation hearing list entering actual testimony. >> i am not even going to call it a crime. we know he met with them and did not disclose in it. yesterday, the washington post reports that director comey said there was a third contact. >> he said he did not know. >> the washington post is reporting -- lets to drop the partisan crap for a second. >> [ overlapping speakers ] >> he recused himself. >> let's be totally real and stop the innuendo.

>> you and me, let's do it. >> if you speak to the russian ambassador at an event organized by the obama administration as a u.s. senator, there is nothing wrong on that and is not lobbying on behalf of of russia and now people are claiming that he should resign. >> i heard you disclosein that n your preamble and do not know those public events at the dnc worth thea. limits of his contat with russia. even if they were not, he should have disclosed it, and he failed to. >> you are actually wrong. he needed to disclose it if he met with them in his capacity as aa trump campaign surrogate. >> he was asked anytime during the course of last year--

>> explain n why you did it. you are impudent the reputation of decent men forget politics, and it is wrong. >> if you met for totally a knock use purposes, say, yes, i did. it should have been up for question in front of the committee. >> are you familiar with the mccarthy era? do you think this is degrading our standards of justice? >> i don't. >> call people names because they talk to people at a party. nancy pelosi saidr she said he should resign. >> he did not disclose contact with russians and asked under oath.ot whether or not you did itdidn't innocent purposes or not, he did not disclose it. >> thank you, don for sitting to

was that trump tried to obstruct justice by interfering with thee investigation of w a crime which was michael's when contacting the russians during the transition and what hewh did is really irrelevant and comey admitted it think i want to know about and should know if any of my satellites were having improper contact and was talking about the firing of flynn being billed as proof of the collusion between the trump campaign and russia and then turns out it was perfectly appropriaten t for hio be talking with the russians and the only reason he fired him is because he allegedly misled vice president pence him when he says go easy on him he said go easy on him then you have on me and don't let these lies continue with it being illegal, evidence of a crime, something that james

comey, we did not know until the testimony that he had, in fact, as trump said, three times told president trump he was not under investigation and what were his grounds for refusing to tell the public that? utterly outrageous -- it private citizen under investigation by police and the police refuse to you? >> we might declare you guilty in the future? >> for of months because i am a little man was taking this seriously. it has finally dawned on me is it is performance art and a hoax and who would be the russian agent next, this is not about russia or national security, it

is all a lie. >> you are absolutely right about that. as if it is a nice day to day. >> is it a nice day? >> i cannot tell you because it would be a duty to correct and is the most insane way to not answer it and will not even say that het is not being investigated because if i make a statement about reality, there is a future, and then what will i do? >> i want to correct you with one thing with your last best. there is russia trying to influence the election and colluding with americans with the tha declamatory trump dossi. that was a russian-produced .ca them dot fbi and broadcast, hysterically, by cnn. that is the only evidence.
