pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. at dvr it if you can figure out how to make that machine work. a good night washington, sean hannity is up next. >> sean: thank you, what a newsnight. welcome to "hannity." tonight john solomon is out with a smoking gun report that the fbi informant we've been telling you all about has the evidence that shows a russian effort to get the corrupt uranium one deal approved by the obama administration. also tonight, investigative reporter sarah carter is no detailing that she has uncovered a "treasure trove of documents that ties uranium one directly to the russians." the only information you will hear tonight on "hannity" and i will be joined by both sarah and john later in the program, but first tonight, no reports of sexual misconduct is now rocking liberal america. plus, a second woman tonight accusing senator of al franken of sexual misconduct. hillary clinton continues to viciously attacked her husband's

accusers, even after saying that all women should be believed. the clintons have led an effort to victim shame these women for decades, and with the help of their sycophantic friends and their willing accomplices in the media, they have helped create the environment we are now living in. all of that and much more. and tonight's big breaking news opening monologue, and investigative report. ♪ >> sean: breaking news tonight about high-profile mainstream media journalists or being accused of sexual misconduct. cbs news has now suspended lion of the liberal media, anchored charlie rose in pbs is no stopping production and distribution of his show following a report in "the washington post." according to the post tonight, eight women are accusing him of inappropriate sexual behavior including making unwanted advances, lewd phone calls, being naked in front of them, and groping them. in a statement to the post, rose admitted wrongdoing. he apologized for his actions and he said that he thought he was pursuing shared feelings.

then there is a "new york times" reporter glenn thrush. he has also been suspended tonight over a report were several women are accusing him of sexual misconduct. that includes unwanted sexual contact and kissing, he has apologized also in a statement. we will continue to follow both the stories tonight. the developing situation with senator al franken and the latest comments from hillary clinton, it is now exposing a massive problem with the liberal mainstream media in america, because for decades the media has been feigning moral outrage when it comes to allegations against republicans, while defending your energy and year out those democrats who have been accused of doing far worse. a massive double standard. and tonight there is a new allegation against franken. a second one is now accusing democratic senator al franken of sexual misconduct. the woman is alleging that during a 2010 state fair in minnesota that senator franken grabbed her behind while the two were posing for a picture. at the woman also posted the

picture on facebook and later responded to a comment about this writing "al franken totally molested me, creeper." keep in mind this is two years into franken's first term as a u.s. senator. now senator franken is responding to the latest allegations by saying while he takes thousands of picture with people, he doesn't remember the specific incident. senator added that he feels badly the woman felt disrespected by their interaction. we did reach out to senator franken for a statement that his office, shockingly, refuses to get back to us. unfortunately none of this should really be all that surprising. this is the same guy who made jokes nobody else in the media will talk about it, about drugging and raping women. joke? who does this. last night he was accused of sexual misconduct by radio host leeann tweeden. she revealed explosive information about senator franken last week. according to her, during a 2006

to where franken forcibly kissed her while supposedly rehearsing a skit backstage. there's too this photo of franken groping her while she was asleep on a flight. leeann tweeden says she didn't even know that happened until after she got home and started looking through pictures of that trip. franken did issue an apology but claims he doesn't remember the kissing incident backstage. senator franken is also being accused of harassing yet another woman, melanie morgan. radio tv personality, cofounder of the website ed potomac media equalizer, she's accusing him of harassing her on the phone. this allegedly happened after they got into an on-air argument during an appearance on bill mars old show, politically incorrect in 2000. if melanie morgan said she had to threaten to call the police to get him to stop, which he did. despite all of that, some members of the media are making excuses for al franken, even tonight. take a look. >> there's in a report that senator al franken grabbed a woman's behind at a fair back in 2010. he says he doesn't or member doing it.

starting to go after everyone and every power industry for something like a butt slap? awarded there will be no one running anything. >> to ask them to resign, i don't know if that's the appropriate response either. we know the senator has been asked to resign ever. >> we have also slowly slid culturally into a moment when forgiveness is now married to ideology. if you are a conservative and bill clinton, or al franken, get him out or get her out. >> he took a picture, which his office now says was a joke that showed him potentially, not actually groping, but mark-groping her. she also published a picture that was given to her of her asleep with senator franken mark groping her. >> sean: in the case of leeann tweeden, there's the evidence. it's all there. franken is not even denying it. it just shows how low the mainstream media democrats are

willing to go to defend people that suit their ideology, like franken. with the mainstream media won't tell you is that he has been sick and twisted for years. for example, he was on "saturday night live" in 1995. suggested a skit about drugging and raping leslie stahl of 60 minutes. he said "i give the pills to leslie stahl, then when she has passed out i take her to the closet and rape her. that's why you never see leslie until february, when she passes out. i put her in various positions and take pictures of her. creepy. supposed to be funny. in 2000, he wrote a satirical article for "playboy" magazine. the headline. the vast majority of what he wrote we can even repeat on tv but in one part franken wrote "i'm talking of course about the internet, which is a terrific learning tool. for example, a couple of years ago when he was 12, my son, use the internet for a sixth grade report on beastie reality." then in 2008 he actually

apologized for the comments we just showed you. it turns out he was lying to rate how do we know? because in his new book he says he faked the apology is in order to win votes. he writes "to say i was sorry for writing a joke was to sell at my career, to seller who i have been my entire life, and i wasn't sorry. what i had written, or pitched that stupid leslie stahl joke or two in the morning, i was just doing my job." his apologies aren't real. then as the clintons. for those of you in the mainstream media, pay attention. why is this important? because for 30 years, 30, democrats on behalf of the clintons have smeared, slander, besmirched, victim shamed anyone and everyone who dared to tell what turned out to be the truth about bill clinton. in the media has always been their willing accomplices. if they have been complicit up to and including last year. the only reason now some of the political world are finally

starting to acknowledge what he did is because bill and hillary clinton are no longer important. so now that it's politically expedient, now that they can't hurt them, the clintons that is, members of the media, even some, but only some are only beginning to start to call out the deplorable behavior, so it's not about principle for them, it's about from 1991 until 2016, the media defends the clintons on everything regardless of how damaging or disgraceful the allegations were and they can do it now. they can say maybe it wasn't right, but i believe juanita. hillary clinton continues to smear, slander, besmirched her husband's accuser today. just take a listen to the latest attack by hillary. >> look, i think every situation has to be judged on its own merit. i think it's unfortunate that people are either misremembering or misinterpreting history. >> sean: really? everyone of those women are misremembering, hillary?

what happened to believing? as hillary told us an election year, women when they do come forward. remember this. >> today i want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault. don't let anyone silencer voice. you have the right to be heard, you have the right to be believed, and we are with you. >> sean: right to be believed, you are with them? does hillary clinton really think that the women who have accused her husband of sexual misconduct and even rape, that they are actually misremembering what bill did to them? hillary herself orchestrated a campaign to discredit and destroy all of them and here's what the media set about the clintons accusers just last year during the election. take a look. >> the rape accusation is decades old and discredited. >> only in the sort of mind of some sort of movie writer over third world democracy, dictatorship, would you have a

candidate publicly humiliate a former occupant of that office by parading all of these other people around as well. >> it's hillary clinton who is the candidate here, not bill clinton. she was not implicated in any misconduct, she was not someone who was accused even of doing anything untoward with regard to these women. >> sean: pretty despicable. now fast forward, one year. 2017. despite this come-to-jesus moment for some of the left, some are still today clinton sympathizers in the press and the democratic party. they will never give it up. watch this. >> he more than paid the price for what he did. the mere fact that he went through an impeachment process as president means that there will always be a shadow on the legacy of his presidency. at least from my point of view i think he's more than paid the price. >> he can get away with anything. he was investigated, he was litigated, impeached.

he was finally after lying about the affair admitted it, apologized multiple times in a very heartfelt way. >> that's one of the many allegations. paula jones, gennifer flowers, wanda brodrick , kathleen, there's a bunch. >> all of which were investigated, litigated, adjudicated. >> sean: a new left-wing talking point, that bill clinton paid the price for his sins. the clintons treated bills accusers horribly, systematically did everything they could do to publicly shame them and smear them and slander them. in '92 during the presidential primaries gennifer flowers revealed she had a 12 year affair with bill clinton. the clinton campaign, they had a war room, they sprung into action to attack flowers. then bill and hillary, they show up on "60 minutes," they deny the charges and went after her character. in the media, they never took it seriously, how do we know? take a look at this clip from the documentary. it shows how the press, the liberal media in this country actually reacted to a question

during that first conference. watch them last. >> to the governor at any time tell you on the telephone to tell the truth? >> he told me to just deny it. [laughter] >> ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen we will put this to a stop if there are any further questions that are degrading in my opinion. >> sean: that's the media laughing. what do they find so funny? to further smear flowers hillary told "vanity fair" the following. if we have been in front of a jury i would say ms. flowers, isn't it true you are asked in june of 1990 and you said no? weren't you asked by the arkansas democrat and you said no? i mean i would crucify her.

really, hillary? crucify her? what happened to believing her? women have a right to be believed. then in bernstein's book about hillary, he writes that clinton would refer to gennifer flowers as trailer trash. bill clinton later admitted to having a sexual relationship with flowers and he admitted it only when he was under oath. next up, paula jones. she accused bill clinton of exposing himself in a hotel room after filing a lawsuit against him clinton ended up paying her $850,000 with an out-of-court settlement. it ended in a related case, clinton lost his wallet licensed in arkansas for five years. the clinton machine also went vicious after jones, according to "the new york times" and fake news cnn and other outlets, longtime clinton ally, cnn pundit for a while james carville, infamously said this about jones. if you drag $100 bill through a trailer park you never know what you will find. if auntie also slammed jones by saying that she only sued clinton because of money.

then monica lewinsky that had an affair and dress like the other accusers, hillary had a nasty nickname for lewinsky. according to a journal entry that was made public, hillary friend diane blair called her a narcissistic loony tune and yet kathleen willie, she accused bill clinton in the oval office of groping and grabbing and fondling and touching and kissing her all against her will. while she was a volunteer at the white house. she later said that hillary enable her husband's predatory behavior. we can't forget juanita. she alleged that bill clinton rape-80 . that's who the clintons are, who they have always been. what they did to these women is referenceable. his 1992 presidential campaign came up with the term bimbo eruptions to describe the women who came forward and made accusations against bill. george stephanopoulos wrote in

his memoir that in 91 hillary said "we have to destroy her when describing one of his accusers. speaking of george, watch how he handled one person who threatened to leak information about bill clinton to the press. watch this. >> i can send you a fax with names and phone numbers of who you had an affair with. it wouldn't make it true. it is completely [bleep]. if you want on the radio and said that bill clinton is the father of an illegitimate black child you would be laughed at. they would think you are crazy. i guarantee you that if you do this you will never work in democratic politics again, if you don't want to. i'm not saying it matters. you will be embarrassed before the national press corps. people will think nobody will believe you and people will think you are scummy. the alternative is you don't do it, it causes you some tempera paint with people who tomorrow

aren't going to matter. and you have campaign that understands that in a difficult time you did something right. and that's important. it doesn't mean anything, we can't do anything for you specifically or anything like that, but you know that you did the right thing. >> sean: good morning america, you will never work again, you will be embarrassed, blah, blah, blah. this is who the clintons are, this is who they've been for 30 years. their allies in the democratic party, their friends in the media, they knew it. they did everything they could to cover it up and completely trashed bill's accusers, up to and including last year's election. is that an excusable? the media also never reported that hillary and her family foundation, i talked about it a lot last year, took tens of millions of dollars from countries that abuse women, kills gays and lesbians,

persecutes. they bought her silence in the media of course all last year, they gave him a free pass. it's nice to see that some on the left and the media, and out of the clintons have no power, are starting to admit how horrible the clintons were to his accusers, might argue it's too little too late. michelle malkin, former deputy assistant to the president, fox news national security strategist sebastian gorka. i want to be very clear, michelle. nobody has a monopoly. there are horrible republicans out there. horrible people in general. that's not what i'm describing here. i am describing systematically, because of politics, the clintons were protected by the media and they went out and just abused these women again and again and smear them to death, even up to and including through the election last year. >> that's right, sean. this is not ancient history. you will have all of these

liberal wheelers out there asking why is sean hannity and michelle and sebastian gorka talking about bill clinton? it's because so much of the mess that we are in now is a result and legacy of the clinton smear machine. these two are the godparents, hillary and bill clinton, the godparents of victim shaming smear tactics. and now we have this case we have all of these liberal media journalists who are tying themselves in yoga not to try and reconcile their own roles in their own culpability in enabling the clinton smears against all of his accusers and victims with the left wing, feminist ideology of believing all women. now what we know of course, it's not revelation, it's merely confirmation that we should believe all women has an exception. the rules to radical 2017 has

always been that you should believe all women, except when they are accusing liberal democratic men and liberal hollywood weirdos. there's a second -- now being exposed for the farce that it is. that second is this, it's this. all women must be respected, unless of course they are female republicans, conservatives, pro-life, stay-at-home moms, and gun owners. i have lived this for the past 25 years in public life, along with all of the women who have been smeared by leftists in the media and in the democratic party. we are always treated as less than women and less than human. we have called out the misogyny and hypocrisy of this double standard of the left we get attacked even more. >> sean: dr.? >> i don't know how i follow

that. michelle is absolutely right. let me expand the optic here. there's the issue of the absolute double standards on the left. now 30 years later they find morality, so it's okay if al franken admits to it, then it just disappears as an issue. if you look at bob menendez. we are not going to cover that story, but we don't have the proof on judge moore. he is the problem. the unbelievable level of double standards. the second thing is beyond that it's what cheryl atkinson has written about in her book. it's the persistent smear tactics, just making stuff up because it is politically expedient to your friends. how is it that you have all of these individuals who are supposed to be journalists, but they literally manufactured stories out of nothing to attack the president. sometimes is trivial.

you remember recently the fish feeding event in japan, right? they crop out that the president is actually doing exactly what his host did before. why? because it's expedient to make the president look bad, or it gets far more serious. cnn is going to say that james comey is going to counter everything that president said the fbi investigation them into him or not. it goes on and on and on because it's all about politics. it's never about the truth, it's never just about journalism. >> sean: dr. gorka, we will keep michelle so i want to give you one more quick question here. what happens, how do you ascertain -- charlie rose is admitting it, franken, we have the picture. in some cases you have evidence. the clintons over time will revealed that these things that happen. what to do in the he said, she said? how do people ascertain the difference in an environment where allegations are flying, some people deny them, saying it didn't happen? >> it's all about two things, the credibility of the source,

is the individual credible and cannot be corroborated? the big problem we have today is we don't have investigative journalist anymore. the people like sarah carter, they are so rare today. they give a 21-year-old kid a computer and access to global and they call him a journalist. that's how political works, that's how "huffington post" works. you can get to the you to talk to people coming up to corroborate the stories, and that just isn't done anymore. it's just accusations thrown out there for political damage. >> sean: thank you for being with us, michelle we will continue with you. more coming up on the sexual misconduct scandals rocking liberal america tonight. and later, john solomon, sara carter have bombshell new reports, huge news tonight about uranium one. you can go to my twitter, we want to hear from you. is it time for the clintons to apologize to the american people? what they have done, and what their surrogates have done, with the media has done for the past 30 years.

federal law applies. the statute is called abusive sexual contact. >> sean: a picture is a crime? >> that is a crime under federal law and the fact that she is asleep is of no consequence, but because the law specifically says we will presume there is no consent if the victim is asleep. touching a woman over her clothing is still abusive sexual contact. it's a little tricky because of the statute of limitations, but the government could charge and say the statute of limitations is tolled or suspended until the discovery of the crime. >> sean: i think america tonight, i think they are shocked by the abuse of power aspects of all of this. and i think also people trying to figure out what is true, what is not true. when people apologize and admit their behavior, rose did that tonight. in the case of franken, he seemed to admittedly some of it. you are an attorney, you deal with some of these cases.

>> i do. i think it's very important to note that there's over 300,000 sexual harassment and rape cases a year. 90% of them go unreported the first year, the second year. so all of these -- this intense scrutiny about these women coming forward years later. >> sean: are most allegations true? >> yes, we do find. >> sean: i'm asking. >> of course not. there's nothing that is 100% in the human race, there's always people, so make either mischaracterizing or miss understanding or misrepresenting it. that does happen. but in these cases we have so many women were coming forward, it is not a partisan issue. >> sean: i agree with that. >> i agree with i think it's important even saying that. this is an issue about crimes against women and it has nothing to do with whether or not you believe one ideology or not. and i think that's where it's becoming very disturbing. >> sean: >> and the media and cn

apologist continue to excuse behavior. you play the clip saying clinton got away with nothing. he got away with alleged rape and alleged sexual assault of juanita broderick. then you play the clip of the cnn legal analyst who said this had nothing to do with hillary clinton. >> sean: the dumbest people on tv. >> should insulted, demeaned and ridiculed all of those women. she was complicit. >> sean: michelle? >> a couple of facts. because i am an investigative journalist myself, and i want to address some of the comments then sebastian gorka had said at the end of the last segment as well, which is where are the investigative journalist, particularly on this issue? it's an issue i've been covering for the last year at cr tv.com. particularly when it comes to false allegations of assault and rape and the answer to the question about how often it happens. it is a lie of the left-wing feminist establishment that only 2% of allegations are false. in fact, the literal shows that

it's between eight and 41%. the issue you are raising is very important. how do ordinary citizens who cannot trust ideologues and advocates in the media to tell them the truth that each and one of these allegations connect one piece of truth that they come out of hillary clinton's mouth, just ingenuous as it was, you have to take each one of these cases separately. the sheer number of allegations in any one man's case does not prove that sexual assault or rape happen. you have to think about timing. you have to think about context. you have to think about the fact in the case of these "washington post" investigations that you were talking allegations that are somewhere, sometimes 20, 30 years old and you had activists, journalists who were soliciting and procuring women to tell the stories. just because stories all sound the same, doesn't mean they are true. assertions are not truth until they are corroborated as facts, and corroborated with evidence.

shown that all of the reporting i've shown from daniel. two railroaded on surviving wrongful convictions. there are many instances where they have been absolutely -- you have to talk about when women have incentives to lie because of money. >> that is true, there are people who mischaracterize or lie, straight out lie. but i think in these situations we have a lot of corroboration. we also have a lot of the men admitting these things have happened. so once you have an admission, we are in a whole different situation. >> sean: very much. thank you all. great insight from all of you. when we come back, and explosive report. john solomon, sara carter have just released a new bombshell report about uranium one. they will bring it here. later, will also talk with newt gingrich, busy news night "hannity." ♪ ounow i'm turning into my dad. i text in full sentences. i refer to every child as chief.

♪ >> sean: breaking news tonight, the hills john solomon, investigative reporter sara carter released bombshell reports tonight. if solomon reporting according to the memos obtained, the fbi informant that now has had his nda lifted at the center of this case gathered years and years of evidence of russia's plot to control u.s. nuclear fuel, which included the uranium one deal. and sara carter reporting that she has received a treasure trove of documents that in fact

prove tonight the fbi informant has knowledge of russia's involvement in uranium one. also joining us now is the attorney for the fbi informant, victoria along with john and sarah. sarah, let's start with your report. a treasure trove, that is huge. >> it is. there's a over 5,000 documents which include emails, briefs, other documentation, memorandums that the informant had turned over to the fbi and justice department, and within these documents, it's very evident of russia's intention to enter the american market, energy market. and their intentions to acquire uranium one. >> sean: john, you go into extensive detail in a very long and hard hitting piece tonight and revealing piece, how the fbi informant -- you actually said six years, i thought he was only an informant for four years. he has evidence, was on the

inside, directly from putin's russia, the push for nuclear fuel deals, and all the cards we talked about, bribery, kickback, extortion, money laundering, racketeering, all knelt corroborating and will be even further. go into your report. >> sara just said something about the importance of the dominance of the uranium market. this is an email that the fbi has had for six years. it shows that uranium one was part of a russia strategy to control, not just benefit from the global market, controlled the global market. that would put the united states at a disadvantage. that's the sort of evidence that this fbi informant has right now. if you go back on the last week we heard several things from the justice department, there's no collection to uranium one. if they are in the fbi files. they said that there was no connection between the uranium one case in the criminal case. we now know the criminal case got its first evidence in 2009, a whole year before they uranium one deal was approved by the obama administration. there are a lot of things that

people have been saying that these documents simply don't agree with. >> sean: i got a very high ranking congressman and that knows, actually sent me a note. the knowledge of key administration officials will be the next thing proven by both of you, and the links to the clinton foundation. sara, is that true? >> i believe that is true. especially when we at -- >> sean: do believe or you know? i can't ask victoria that question because she won't tell me. >> i know it's true. i know that looking at these documents following the money, following the money is what's important here. the justice department has not pointed out that they will possibly call a special counsel to this. this is still out there. they are looking into it. that is something that they need to decide. but whether it's a special counsel or whether it's a prosecutor that is investigating this, they will be able to follow the money. >> sean: when you say follow the money, my suspicion would go to the money came directly from

russia, was funneled through the canadian donors to the clinton foundation. how good are my instincts? >> you have pretty good instincts. i think there's a lot of other areas that they will be looking at as well. this is like peeling back and onion. you peel one part and then you find another part. and that's what's going to require somebody to do an extensive investigation. >> sean: john, i want her to respond to the same thing, that the clinton foundation, that this will be traced back to high-ranking obama administration officials and the clinton foundation, and if you add the money portion sara mentioned? >> i do. i think the place we will be talking about in the next couple weeks as the clinton global initiative. sort of a side project of the clinton foundation. there are new flows of money there that we will report on then the next couple of weeks. there were also some personal business projects, some very senior clinton people that got a remarkable infusion of cash from russia. it will be able to talk about that in the next couple of weeks. another layer of interest of the story. >> sean: we have a lot of time

in the segment so i want to go very slowly here. both of you, before i get to victoria, sara and john, you both in your pieces said 5,000 documents. i hear the number the fbi informant is much, much greater, tens of thousands. true or false? >> that seems to be accurate. we have a subset of the documents and they are very voluminous. >> sean: now let me go to victoria. one of the great attorneys. she's the most difficult to get any information out of. victoria, one of the things i've known about you, and i've interviewed you so many times over the years, you now have been doing a deep dive into all of this. you are now representing this fbi informant. i think they will become an american hero out of all of this, but apparently he was fighting and begging and pleading and saying the russians are here, they are doing this, why are you paying attention? i hope my instincts are right there, and number two, how devastating it legally is this going to be based on what i was

just asking sara and john about impacting former obama officials, money, clinton foundation? >> let me go to number one first, that is the whole essence of what john and sara and i are talking about is that in 2009, 2010, our fbi and presumably our justice department, and the white house, as my client was told, all knew about this corruption in the russian nuclear energy area. there's no separate companies. they are all related. the russian nuclear energy is controlled from the top, from putin. they are all one. they all talk to each other. the evidence about this corruption was known to our government in 2009, 2010, and why is it that cfius either wasn't told, or cfius people knowing about it -- >> sean: nine agencies approving the deal that gave control of uranium one to the

bad actor, hostile regime, putin russia. >> they said, the cfius board said that the bad russians could buy uranium one, which contains access to 20% of the u.s. uranium, why was that decision may? was cfius told? did bob mueller go to eric holder and tell him? eric holder sat on it. >> sean: he was one of the nine. >> did he go to the white house and tell him? the fbi agents told my client that they were briefing the president about his conduct. of course, when the cfius decision was made -- >> sean: back to my original question, counselor, if i may. you are too good at your job. this is a very serious point. putting your legal hat on, objectively speaking, yes they knew, the evidence will prove it based on the documents and your client, crimes committed on a high level? national security compromise? >> it goes without saying giving

the russians control of the uranium was a national security compromise. i think that we are going to have to do is continue to follow the money because the reporting that john and sara are going to be doing in a few days will be revealing about where lots of the various money went and where it came from. >> sean: always we go back, and i believe at the end of this you guys deserve a pulitzer, and i'm not the only one thinking that. you have dug so deep on this, this has been a deep dive, i applaud you both. i want to ask as it relates to who knew what, one. what did they know, when did they know it, john solomon? i'm talking about obama, mueller, eric holder, hillary clinton. >> we are at a little disadvantage right now because we don't have those records, and also the records that congress needs to go get, but i can tell you i have a person quoted in my story who has direct knowledge of what the justice department new. this person said without a shred of doubt we knew in 2009 a year before cfius rolled that they

were engaged in criminality, without a shadow of a doubt we knew that russia was trying to gain a corner on the u.s. market, get a strong hold on our uranium, and without a doubt we knew they were using political levers to try to get their way here. we are talking about control, like this document says, they are trying to gain control of our markets. that has to be national security interest that should have been raised in cfius. >> sean: president daily briefings were told. had this information in it before cfius approves this. >> that's what we need to find out. we need to see those presidential daily briefings. congress can get those. they will be able to know whether or not president obama was briefed on this and according to a number of people that i have spoken with as well, he was. i think that will reveal a whole other layer of who knew what, where and when. and we follow the money and it will reveal even more about hillary clinton and what she knew and when did she know it,

and the other members of the cfius board. >> sean: and obama and holder and mueller? john, real quick, we are running out of time. >> i think even sessions and rosenstein have questions to answer. people in congress don't think they've gotten a straight answer. >> sean: victoria, we get the last word from you, laws broken? >> of course. >> sean: you are so good at your job. you are so annoyingly good. the american people deserve the truth varied our security was compromised, we import uranium because we don't have enough. newt gingrich will weigh in on this and more things and about the clintons. are they facing their day of reckoning? and a big announcement at the end of the show. ♪ that's the new man, huh? yup. getting kinda' close to my ride. wow... now, that's how you make a first impression. they're going to love you... that's ford, america's best-selling brand. hurry in today for 0% financing for 72 months across

♪ >> sean: joining us now as we continue on "hannity," the author of the best-selling book vengeance. former speaker of the house, fox news contributor newt gingrich. if you have this incredible perspective. i'm making an argument tonight that 30 years of the clintons, and 30 years of smearing and slandering those women, now the reckoning of the clintons coming. they came on the national scene in 1990, 1991, and now the clintons can't do anything for the democrats anymore. as i'm looking at them as a party, i'm saying when is the day of reckoning? she took all this money from countries that abuse women, kill and persecute christians and je jews. it's kind of insulting to one's intelligence isn't it? >> that's her turning point for american culture. with going through. matt, what i've described is the age of the kardashians, where you could do anything, get away with anything. there's a fascinating book that contrasts the independent counsel and bill clinton and

suggested actually that particular investigation was when virtue died in america. maybe what we begin to see happen is virtue coming back in america as people realize whether it's the extraordinary scale of the opioid academic, which the trump administration reported today, but the stunning amount of harassment in violation of women that we are seeing come out day after day now. all of a sudden, all of these things at the left of tolerated are beginning to be unacceptable and very painful, and that may lead the country, not just republicans, not just conservatives, but the country, to have a really serious conversation about what are the standards we want going forward? >> sean: how do we ever ascertain truth, he said, she said, it becomes very difficult if you believe in the presumption of innocence? >> there are two different things here. first of all, you do have the tendency for hysteria and a lynch mob attitude, so anything can say anything about the last

40 years and there's an automatic presumption of guilt. that's got to be washed away. we have to go back to the principal, you are innocent until proven guilty. we've seen cases, as you know, the duke university, i think it was their lacrosse team. >> sean: duke lacrosse. >> totally smeared and it turned out to be totally false. a whole series of these kinds of cases. i do think in that sense we have to go back to the core principle that you are innocent until proven guilty. on the other hand, i also think you have to recognize that one of the purposes of congress is to undertake investigations almost like a grand jury. the things that are coming out now for example, about the whole uranium one case and all the pieces that surround that, and i say to myself, where's the congressional hearing that week after week, month after month, simply strips away the lies and gets the facts back up so the american people can see what really happened? >> sean: the new developments and i, i know you've read this

article, you had an fbi informant in their, may be as long as six years we are discovering. thousands of pages of documents available and that in fact they knew that vladimir putin had purposely set out with agents involved in criminal activity, bribes, extortion, money laundering, kickbacks, racketeering, that we had an informant that knew all of this was happening, wasn't reporting back to the fbi and apparently was even in obama's presidential daily briefing. this is before cfius ended up getting the nines department approval, including hillary's state and eric holder's justice, and allowed this deal to go through, which on the surface never made sense. 20% of america uranium in the hands of a bad actor, a hostile regime, putin and russia. >> let me tell you, first of all, they have done the most thorough, most systematic work

on this. if you take their work and that of peter schweitzer, who has written the book "clinton cash." between them they have done more to educate the country that all the congressional hearings, all the stuff being done at the justice department. it is appalling, the gap of serious responsible investigation when they come up week after week with more and more stories. i think you've been, frankly, the number one person helping them reach the american people, and without your support of their work, they would still be basically totally unknown. but they ought to get a pulitzer prize. for the level of investigative research they are not doing. >> sean: i agree. last question. the president, while he's in china, gets these four or three ucl a basketball players out and then the father makes the statement he didn't do much. you steal in china, you can go to jail for years, so the president says may be edge have left you there.

i'm thinking, that's pretty ungrateful, isn't it, that the father -- if it was my son i would say sir, thank you for standing up for my father, i will handle whatever it was they did wrong with myself at home. this could have been a potential disaster in his life. there are people in the corrupted news media in this country tonight that are saying what the president tweeted is racism, because he basically said maybe i should have left them in jail. >> that had nothing to do with their race. first of all, i think it's a sad commentary on what has happened to america when a father being told that his son was shoplifting in china isn't really angry at his son. he ought to be grateful to the president, because his son could have been in really deep trouble. and second, ucla basketball player, you are at a great university, you have a great future, what are you doing shoplifting? i think people should be pretty irritated that these guys will have a privileged life, have a

privileged future, have a chance for a multimillion dollar career in the nba, are out here embarrassing america, looking stupid and doing something that is totally dominant. and i'm embarrassed for that father, that he didn't have the decency to say thank you, mr. president. i thought the doctor my kid. i clearly didn't get things across to him. i think this is a sign of what is sick about america, that people don't take responsibilit responsibility, they don't take accountability. trump probably shouldn't upset i left him in jail. what he ought to say is i wish that father had been there in jail, let the kids come home. the father is being ungrateful. >> sean: just thank you, sir, for what you did for my son, i will take care of the stupidity of what he might have been involved in. simple. mr. speaker, good to see you. thank you for being with us. and when we come back, a big announcement about a "hannity" investigation. let me put it this way, if you have been covering for the clintons, you're not going to
