♪ >> dana: i'm dana perino with kimberly guilfoyle, juan williams, jesse watters and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city, and this is "the five" ." attorney general jeff sessions back on the hill today to answer more questions on the trumps team contact with russians after evidence emerged two former campaign advisors told sessions about their communications. the attorney general adamantly denied accusations that he lied under oath. >> i have always tried to answer the questions fairly and accurately. but to ask, did you ever do something, did you ever meet

with russians and deal with the campaign? you are saying mr. carter page, who left that meeting, according to the press reports, and i guess his depositional interviews. it's been reported as saying i'm going to russia. i made no response to him. i didn't acknowledge it. when you are accusing me of lying about that? i would say that's not fair. i don't -- i don't think it's right to accuse me of doing something wrong. i had no participation in any wrong doing with regards to influencing this campaign improperly. >> dana: mr. sessions did acknowledge meeting with george papadopoulos, an advisor who pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about his russian contacts. >> i do not recall that the march 2016 meeting at the trump hotel that mr. papadopoulos attended. i have no clear recollection of

the details of what he said at that meeting. i believe i wanted to make clear to him that he was not authorized to represent the campaign with the russian government or any other foreign government for that matter. but i did not recall this event which occurred 18 months before my testimony of a few weeks ago. >> jesse: sessions went on to set the record straight about whether he himself colluded with the russians. >> i would say this. i stand by this testimony. i have never met with or had any conversations with any russians or any foreign officials concerning any type of interference with the campaign or election. >> dana: the founding fathers set up our constitution in a way that the legislative branch would have oversight responsibilities of the executive branch which is why attorney general sessions makes himself available to the senators over and over again. >> greg: thank you for that

lesson. >> dana: is it overkill? >> greg: yes, yes. we have to admit this is really, really boring. it's boring because we know the score. we know that one side is trying to outsmart or corner of the other, so every day it's a constant game of tic-tac-toe that ends in cat. the democrats are in danger of testimony exhaust. americans turn it on and go, i will watch home shopping network over this. it's like an episode of law & order where the police are interrogating a.j. walker while someone is stealing their car because outside this room is a whole criminal enterprise called the clinton family. they are going over and needing while the clintons -- they engineered that meeting with fusion gps. connect the dots. >> dana: you connected the dots to the b block.

i was thinking the entire time these hearings gone, i understand why they call for them. attorney general sessions said to one of them, i was in your shoes. i understand why you want me to come appear and talk about these things. but in the meantime, the things that really matters is the moon their investigation. >> kimberly: it seems like we are going back in time on a trip we didn't pay for that we didn't want to do. reverse bicycle. it's never fun for anybody. like his his voice, his cadence, the way he says papadopoulos. other than that, i am thinking what are we doing here? you are thinking there's other really big news and investigations we should be focusing on and talking about and i don't think they made any leeway whatsoever in terms of sessions. i don't see that they have scored any points or really got anything out of him. i think he had a certain sense of kind of moral outrage, a little bit of indignity, little bit of okay, i know what you're trying to say but what do you

have against me. i think he held his ground. i think the president would be happy with him. c7 i saw a little bit of it. it's not exactly earth shattering. attorney general, chief law enforcement officer of the country, his credibility is very important and he had come before the senate earlier and indicated he had not had discussions with russians of any kind, and then subsequently we learned he did have contact with russians. subsequently we learned that there were aids within the campaigner said they spoke to him about their contacts with russians. i think the important thing was to restore his credibility. some of this did happen but i didn't lie to you. i wasn't lying. okay, i know now that some of this has been found out in terms of court documents, testimony, or reveals, presentations to congressional investigative committees. but it just not that critical in terms of saying i lied to you.

so it's important for us as americans to have faith in our public officials that they are not liars. that would be good. the other thing that's going on here, i think it's important understand is the back story. the russia investigation goes on and president trump remains angry at jeff sessions and that one of the theories out there right now is that sessions could end up being the next senator from alabama again. >> dana: we saw a little bit of those rumors yesterday but senator mitch mcconnell is not one to really dabble in rumors, especially on the record but he actually went there today, suggesting out loud that may be central sessions is the answer to alabama. >> jesse: that would solve a lot of problems that the republicans have. it would make trump happy. >> greg: it is like when they move "the five" to 9:00. >> jesse: feel so much better back here. >> dana: in six months, jeff

sessions. all right, now that we have that solved. >> jesse: you have politicians preening for the cameras, reciting questions that were written to them by people fresh out of college. no one lands a glove on the guy. it's going to be watergate if you watch the news tonight. this is all about getting scalped. jeff sessions is a cold war hawk from alabama, former federal prosecutor. to accuse him of being a traitor is preposterous. at the quick happening is the country is so bored by this, no one can even pay attention anymore. papadopoulos was wet behind the ears. he was freelancing. no one remembered what he wanted because he was so tangential. who is this again? papa who? it's a face you forget. no one's ever seen him. that's why we are using this sketchy picture of him. that one right there. who is this guy? no one knew it all saw the picture in the meeting and said

oh, yeah, he was in the meeting. that's why sessions doesn't remember. as far as the other guy goes, i don't pick anybody really cares about him as well. >> juan: nobody cares about anything? you don't care. why does anybody bring up this russia stuff? we don't want to talk about -- [all speaking] >> jesse: another reason to remind ourselves there is no collusion. did you see any collusion exposed? no. they can't get him for collusio collusion. >> juan: what do you think about don jr. and wikileaks? >> jesse: i will tell you. i think eric trump is going to be the guy who gets all the christmas presents this christmas. he didn't have a meeting at trump tower. he didn't talk to wikileaks. he is the golden boy. in all seriousness, it looks like he's conversing with this guy. he blew him off.

a link on twitter that said check out wikileaks. that's the crime? >> juan: i thought it was funny that wikileaks was saying to him why not have australia name julian assange the ambassador to the u.s. so julian assange can come back. why not have released your dad's tax returns to us but when we attack hillary, we are more -- >> dana: i've never -- and all these years, have we ever seen the russians be this ham-handed? it seems kind of strange to me. >> greg: the press is so upset about these emails. meanwhile, they see bradley manning and now chelsea manning a hero. we are not fans of wikileaks. none of us are. those emails are a little weird. but it's a one-sided affair. i saw may be two from donald jr. the other stuff was wikileaks. the point being a lot of people think chelsea manning is a hero. why do they care about this?

>> dana: one thing i thought the attorney general and the administration has not done well enough and they could've had a better answer today, a couple senator sasse devout future elections and what was the administration doing to help prevent meddling in future elections. and there doesn't seem to be any "there" they are. could be one thing they are showing to be proactive going forward. >> kimberly: you talked about giving them something to go with. the information that comes out of this. they say while max, you are acknowledging this is problematic. we are being proactive and we've come up with a platform. committee to oversee it. because then they are more in control of some of the messaging. >> dana: you have somewhere to turn. >> kimberly: instead it was let me draw this really weird flowchart of how no one was in charge during the trump campaign. >> dana: or to say the obama

administration, knowing that this was happening, failed to do things, which makes the democrats mad, juan. >> juan: i don't understand why president obama was so reluctant to come out and say something. i have said that. i subsequently learned that when he went to the health and they spoke with mitch mcconnell and said we should come together so people don't see it as partisan, mcconnell said no, i'm not doing it. i think president obama felt boxed in. from my perspective as a democrat, i think he was negligent because the country needed to understand the significance of what was taking place and it was hard to do it in such a political atmosphere in the job didn't get done. but to finish up on don jr. and wikileaks, you know, it seems to me that you guys just want to minimize everything that indicates something smells fishy here. >> greg: it may smell fishy but there ain't no fish there. it's like a restaurant that smells fishy but there's no fish. that's a great metaphor.

>> dana: all right, from one russian investigation to another, the department of justice says it's considering a second special counsel to look into the uranium one deal and hillary clinton. i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424.

how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges.

♪ >> jesse: will a second special counsel be investigated the clintons and the uranium deal with russia while hillary was secretary of state? jeff sessions is weighing it but denies he is influenced by the president to consider it. >> i would say the department of justice can never be used to retaliate politically against opponents command that would be wrong. a president cannot improperly influence an investigation. i have not been improperly influenced and would not be improperly influenced. >> jesse: republican congressman jim jordan followed up with this. >> what's it going to take to get a special counsel? >> it would get a factual basis that meets the standard, the

appointment of a special counsel. >> is that analysis going on right now? >> it is in the manual of the department of justice about what's required. roof only had to go. the first one was the waco, texas, janet reno, senator danforth who took over that investigation. and mr. mueller. each of those are special situations and we would use the proper standards, and that's something i can tell you. >> jesse: do you think the doj should be investigating the clinton foundation? steve work absolutely. the clinton foundation got all of this money from russia. imagine their joy and surprise over this because i don't remember the russians doing a lot of charity giving in the united states. do they give stuff to wounded warriors or united way or hurricane relief? i don't think so. must've been a real shock. could have been any coincidence

involved. link is a key question. it's interesting how you can love the russian so much five years ago to sell them nuclear material and then think they are awful people now. >> jesse: is that how politics works in washington? people make a donation and maybe they expect something in return. >> dana: and asked for the clinton foundation said in their defense. "the new york times" puts out this story in the clinton foundation went berserk. there is nothing wrong with this. this is what we are doing. there is no quid pro quo here for the clinton foundation. if she were to become president, that she's going to return the favor by reducing sanctions. i don't think there's ever been anything like that. i guess there's enough people that believe uranium one and this decided by nine different departments, that perhaps maybe there's something there. what jeff sessions is saying is he asked the prosecution team at

the justice department to look at the merits of the case. if the merits of the case warranted special prosecutor, then he won't stand in the way of that. he is saying the president didn't push him into it. the calls upon him have been coming not just from the president but from capitol hill. sessions as being very careful. talked about literally doing it by the book because his answer is, it's in the manual of the department of justice. he's trying to be steady and be the attorney general he promised congress he would be. >> jesse: perhaps there is a paper trail, kimberly, and a quid pro quo. there could be evidence. you have huma abedin saying we've got some donations. let's look at this or you have russians, how much money do need kind of thing. that's what the investigation might find out. >> kimberly: i like his by the book approach. that's why i said, yes it wasn't so scintillating today but i

thought it was persuasive because this to me as a man who comes out that he's going to abide by the law, that he's going to follow it and go buy the book. he is discussing the in terms of an investigation should take place. i think that's what americans want to hear. to me he's not presenting like somebody who is a partisan person in terms of, like we've seen, very politicized the office of the u.s. attorney. it's a problem. it's really a problem when you see people like this and say this guy wants to do a good job and he wants to not be influence one way or the other. he wants to call it like he sees it and he's also seeing what they've done in the past is not okay. >> jesse: it would be amusing, juan, if the russian investigation wound up causing investigation of the hillary clinton foundation. >> kimberly: look at the smile. >> juan: i was looking at the smile. you know you are up to no good. >> jesse: you opened up a can of worms with this. >> juan: oh, yeah.

>> dana: so it is political retaliation? >> juan: am i nikita khrushchev or donald trump? why doesn't the justice department go after those evil clintons? who said that, i think it was donald trump. >> kimberly: muhammad ali. >> juan: did that sound like muhammad ali to you? i was trying. he's pressuring jeff sessions. why did he recuse himself? you caused me so much trouble with this guy mueller. why doesn't he consider leaving -- all of a sudden, sessions is saying the assistant attorney general, see if there's anything there for the clintons. it sounds to me like pure, unadulterated political retaliation. imagine if obama had gone after the bushes on waterboarding. imagine if bush had gone after gore on the buddhist temple fund-raiser. this is not american. this is not normal.

this is wrong. >> jesse: i remember after the election, donald trump said no, we are not going to lock hillary up. i think he might've had a change of mind after this whole russia investigation got to where he got. >> greg: let's compare the segments. the letter a block was a hearing about a meeting. this is selling nuclear material to russians. they couldn't work out a deal selling knives to isis. >> dana: the uranium wasn't going to russia. the deal was it couldn't leave the united states. >> greg: it did go. >> juan: no, it did not. >> jesse: and went to canada and europe. >> greg: canada is not part of the united states. >> juan: i don't agree with you but let's say you are right. let's assume you're right. it was 2%. this is nothing, zero. because republicans are so -- look, it did not open up the

threat of additional nuclear weapons commit that's what you're suggesting. that's ridiculous. >> jesse: why did we give them uranium to begin with? >> juan: asked the nuclear regulatory commission, ask everyone involved. that's not the issue. we want control. we want influence over russia's nuclear -- >> jesse: if we want to influence, why did we give them all the uranium? up next, more republicans descending -- distancing themselves with roy moore. we will have the latest. the best simple salad ever? heart-healthy california walnuts. the best simple pasta ever? california walnuts. the best simple dinner ever? great tasting, heart-healthy california walnuts. so simple, so good.

43 republicans have said enough. the additional reporting is not good for him. i don't know if that matters in actual alabama. this is a state election. it's not a federal election, even though we are all paying attention to it. this is for the state to decide but i do feel like it's getting pretty squeezed. >> kimberly: jesse, we talked about sessions back to alabama. >> jesse: i don't know if sessions wants to do that. the seat where he came from. we heard the thing and we are right from the beginning. the guy looks like a holy roller hypocrite. this is not just a he said-she said. it involves minors and its the level of sexual assault. signing high school girls' yearbooks in his 30s. he was allegedly banned from malls because he was trying to pick up teenagers. it gets more and more gory and

disgusting. i feel terrible for the victims, if it's true, which it looks like -- these are credible allegations. i think if you are someone on the far right or the right, you have to pick your battles. is roy moore the hill you are ready to die on? i don't think so. i think there's a lot of other places you want to fight. i think sometimes you've got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, and this might be one of those times. i think everybody should just use your common sense here. this guy who's been convicted in the court of public opinion, do you want this guy representing alabama in the senate and representing your party? at this point, it looks like the floodgates are poorly open, i can't find many people in alabama or the country as a republican who would want this guy. >> kimberly: not showing any indication he is going to leave or pulled the rip cord. >> greg: i understand why the

voters, even if it's likely so that he's guilty. i think it was a hit piece but it was a factual hit piece. you can't have both. he doesn't to be either/or. he is either innocent and it's a hit piece for his guilty and it could be a hit piece and he could be guilty. i don't blame the voters for thinking that this is an attack because it happened a month before the election. that doesn't strike anybody -- if it happened to a liberal, they will go, this isn't a coincidence. i understand. >> jesse: it wouldn't have happened to a liberal. >> greg: you cannot blame "the washington post" for doing its research. you can blame the republican party for not doing their research. for example, why do they endorse luther strange? did they know about this stuff? if they knew about it and they kept it to themselves, then they

only have themselves to blame. they went for luther strange even though luther strange had some problems in his background as well. so why did they make that choice? may be they heard what is now being called an open secret, which i hate that word. but that's on the republican party for letting this get that far if this stuff was common knowledge. >> kimberly: the president endorsed strange. he did not go for roy moore. you bring up a good point. what did anybody know war here or was there rumor, conjecture about this? it's interesting. >> juan: that reveals another side to the story which is steve bannon had backed roy moore. steve bannon is still with roy moore. and mitch mcconnell is the one who said the republican party we are not backing roy moore. we want luther strange. why? it's a reliable vote for republican causes, including president trump.

but the bigger issue for the republican party overall is given their experience in recent cycles with candidates who say things like legitimate rape and all the rest, it becomes toxic for the party. it becomes associated with the republican brand and from mcconnell's point of view as the senate majority leader, it's not good for republicans. i don't know what they knew. i don't know what they didn't know but i know there's a civil war within the party. mcconnell is on one side. bannon is on the other. now somehow roy moore has been elevated as like, which side are you on? i am sorry to see that happen because i don't think given the testimony -- you know what? you don't want to see politics breakdown. >> greg: there wasn't a split with anthony weiner. i think when that happened, did anybody stick by him? >> juan: know, even his wife is gone now. what happened today in the house that's interesting is paul ryan

has said he's going to go after setting a standard for harassment, sexual harassment in congress. i've never seen anything like that. that's a boys club. >> jesse: opening up a lot of questions about wanita broderick and the women who had accused bill clinton of impropriety. a lot of people are saying now clearly there is more to the story. >> kimberly: climate protesters are breaking into song to sound the warming alarm bell. hold your ears.
