that is a sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. good night from washington. you know what is next, ladies and gentlemen, sean hannity awaits in new york city. >> sean: congrats on the baby to the tucker carlson family, it's growing every day. welcome to "hannity," major breaking news about the rampant political bias, infecting your justice system like a cancer. threatening the rule of law in america. fox news reporting tonight, a doj official has been demoted for highly suspicious meetings with christopher steele. now the creator of the clinton bought and paid for fake news, anti-trump dossier and for a meeting with fusion gps cofounder glenn simpson. we have all of the details, also fbi director christopher wray is grilled by lawmakers. wait till you see the epic showdown on capitol hill over the trump hating peter strzok

special counsels office and the corrupt clinton email investigation. this was incredible today. plus, we have the very classless barack obama continuing to attack president trump. this time he is actually warning that america could turn into hitler's nazi germany. and of course the tinfoil hat crackpots over at conspiracy tv. msnbc seemed to hit a new low, if that is even possible. we'll tell you about that and get to all of that and so much more in tonight's breaking news "opening monologue." it gets deeper and deeper every day. we start with breaking news. another glaring example of political bias at your department of justice. our very own james rosen joins us tonight with an exclusive report. james, it gets bigger every minute. >> good evening, when fox news first queried the justice department about associate deputy attorney general bruce ohr, four doors down from rod rosenstein, we were told that ohr had been stripped of his

title and his office a few hours before our inquiry. later doj told us that he had lost that job because he is also and remains director of doj's organized crime drug enforcement tax force and his wearing of two hats was "unusual." finally this afternoon they acknowledged the real reason for ohr's stunning demotion yesterday. namely, that he withheld superiors his meetings last year with two controversial figures. investigators for the house intelligence committee found that he met with the former british spy with the anti-trump dossier and forces. also met with glenn simpson, the founder of fusion gps, the research firm that paid steele with funding from the clinton campaign and the democratic national committee. the dossier was given to the fbi in july 2016 around the same time that donald trump accepted the g.o.p. nomination. former fbi director james comey has described the dossier as a collection of salacious and unverified material about mr. trump and his associates. >> i'm not sure when the fbi

first took possession of it, but the media had it before you had it and we had it. at the time of your departure from the fbi, was the fbi able to confirm any criminal allegations confirmed in the document? >> mr. chairman, i don't think that that is an question i can answer in the open setting, it goes into the details of the investigation. >> republican investigators from the committee issued a fresh subpoena on doj today for information. they are looking to determine whether the democratic funded dossier was used to get get fisa surveillance on an advisor named carter page. >> sean: thank you, james rosen from washington. this whole thing, i tell you is a house of cards, it is beginning to crash down. i promise you there is a lot more information that is still not come out as of yet. tick tock to all of our friends on twitter, because we are only scratching the surface here. for example, sara carter reporting house intelligence

chairman devon nunes will issue a subpoena to bruce ohr for more information about the dossier, also house lawmakers grilling the fbi director christopher wray on capitol hill about new information regarding the trump hating peter strzok after he was fired from robert mueller's investigation for bashing trump in text messages to the fbi official girlfriend. also part of the team. before we show you the video, remember that strzok signed a document at start of the entire investigation. and his team assigned to handle the dossier when it was first given to the fbi. and he oversaw the interview of former national security advisor michael flynn. and he played a key role in the clinton email investigation. he never slept. including, by the way, attending hillary's fbi interview that was not under oath. he was also there are the

interviews of clinton's top aides, huma abedin, cheryl mills, who we know lied and had to key language in james comey's statement that exonerated hillary clinton before the investigation from grossly negligent, which is the legal standard, to extremely careless. now they have all of this information, take a look at the show down, it is epic from today. >> what we have learned about fbi agent strzok is that it is the one agent that is at the epicenter of every virtually every major decision that the fbi has been involved in an action and inaction about the candidate trump, president trump, and candidate clinton. and if the one agent at the center or source is decidedly anti-trump and decidedly pro-clinton, that raises real questions. >> i am sure that you are aware of the recent media reports indicating that peter strzok who was a special agent at the fbi changed the words "grossly

negligent" to "extremely careless" in james comey's statement closing the clinton investigation. >> gross negligence is the language in the statute. but i believe that anybody who grabbed a thesaurus would say that gross negligence and extremely careless are pretty darn close to each other. >> they are synonyms, extremely careless is a synonym for gross why change it? >> how did this guy get on the air supposedly unbiased team in the first place? >> sean: if you watched today, you something that we have been telling you now for a long time by other networks that say that they are fair, balanced, objective. they consider themselves to be real journalist, never talk about. pretty amazing. peter strzok, that is the trump hating, clinton loving fbi agent who is tied to everything. including the fake news dossier. watch very closely, an amazing moment with congressman jim

jordan connecting all of the dots. like we have been doing on the show. why? because it is the truth. something missing in today's world of so-called journalism which i said was dead back in '08. take a look. >> peter strzok, who ran the clinton investigation, interviewed secretary clinton, changing gross negligence to the term extreme carelessness. ran the russian investigation, interviewed mike flynn, gets put on mueller's team, gets kicked off for text messages that are anti-trump. if you kicked everybody off of mueller's team that was anti-trump, there would be no one left. so there has to be something more here. my hunch is that it has something to do with the dossier. director, did peter strzok send the application to the fisa court to secure a warrant to spy on americans associated with the trump campaign? >> congressman, i'm not prepared

to discuss anything about the fisa process. >> was peter strzok involved and taken out to the court? >> i'm not going to discuss in this setting anything to do with the fisa court applications. >> it has been reported that this dossier was dressed up by the fbi, take into the fisa court and presented as a legitimate intelligence document -- that it became the basis for granting a warrant to spy on americans. i am wondering if that actually took place. it sure looks like it did. >> sean: what congressman jordan is talking about, and we have now been getting after months, is that this is critical to the entire so-called russian investigation. you have everybody in the liberal mainstream-destroy-trump-media trying to make this all about nonexistent collusion. it has been a year, no evidence. but they have all been missing the point and had deliberately misleading and lying to you, the american people. they are lazy and they are overpaid.

it is pathetic. the big story in all of this is the growing possibility, yes, it is emerging, that the fbi used the clinton bought and paid for russian dossier to obtain a fisa warrant to spy on american citizens that were connected to candidate and president-elect trump. that would be weaponizing the very powerful tools and using them against an opposition party in an election year. let's be clear here. not a smoking gun quite yet, but it is coming. that is all where the signs are pointing to. we will follow this every single step of the way, we are ahead of the curve. stay with us. one more point. can anybody explain this to mean? anybody at all, how robert mueller's investigation can be described as fair, impartial, not biased? let's imagine for just a second that it is you. it is your family member. or somebody that you love and

care about, your friends, would you really want robert mueller and his team a partisan political hack to investigating you? would you want a group of people who donated over $50,000 to the democrats and filled with unethical officials and attorneys coming after you that hate one candidate, love the other candidate? would you really trust them to be fair? do you think that this is how the justice system is supposed to work? i don't think so. also tonight, yes, no-class barack obama back again, launching a new far left attack against president trump warning that america could turn into nazi germany. speaking at the economic club of chicago, and obama said that the danger today is "growing, complacent, we have to tend to the garden of democracy, or else things could fall apart quickly. that's what happened in germany in the 1930s.

the weimar republic and cultural scientific achievements, adolf hitler rose to dominate. 60 million people died. you have to pay attention. and you have to vote." very cute and clever comparing the president in a subtle way to adolf hitler and nazis. obama, by the way, how are your unrepentant buddies doing? by the way, please send the best wishes to the church of gd america and the reverend jeremiah wright. the former president is obviously sick, pathetic, and twisted in this obsession with president trump. like everybody in the media. every single chance that obama gets, whether it is here, home, overseas, does not matter. he is trashing and trying to undermine the president. maybe he cannot get over the fact that his record was atrocious. maybe he needs to take his own advice and accept the results of the election. president obama, hillary lost. time for you two to get over it. i know it is impossible, but try to take some notes from

george w. bush. because george w. bush never criticized you, not one time after he left office, because he actually respected the office more and thought it was more important. finally, tonight, over at conspiracy tv msnbc. crazy liberal joe and his cohorts over at that network, well, they are at it again. stooping to a new low attacking and trying to discredit the president something that chicken little could only be proud of, liberal joe and his panel of trump-hating sycophants had a meltdown during some deranged speculation about the president's health. watch this. >> he is clearly slurring his words, i don't know what the cause of it is. the question of his fitness -- of his stability is in the air. >> at the beginning of the speech before the slurring started, i said, mika, look at him. this is not the person that we

knew even three years ago. >> he does not look in great physical shape. and he has not for some time. >> now it is coming to us and saying, the president of the united states is not mentally fit. >> sean: they are not mentally fit to host a tv show. there you have it. armchair conspiracy tv from the unhinged morning show cohost and his merry band of trump haters. makes you wonder why liberal joe has so much rage and contempt for this president. joe, you are scaring us. i will pay for therapy if you need it. joining us with reaction, counsel to the president, kellyanne conway is with us. forget about those people, because it is a joke. at this point, they're a caricature, but the more important issue is this. is this a fair investigation? could you imagine if this was against the democratic president, only donors to the republican party, people that

were texting back and forth in the investigation, that hate one side and love the other side. at some point, kellyanne, you have to say, don't we need a justice system that is fair and balanced? >> the president has always said that. he respects the 35,000 or so who work for the fbi, we cannot have politicization of any investigation. it should be transparent and independent. what you and james rosen and other reporters who care to know all of the facts have uncovered is very troubling to any american who is paying attention. this peter strzok, boy, he has the busiest guy in washington, d.c. i don't know if i've sent 10,000 texts in my life, let alone to one person. he is carrying on this relationship, sending 10,000 text, putting energy into being systematically against donald trump, which is

not his job. he is really the eye of the hurricane of so much. he is changing the language to protect hillary clinton. it sounds like he is present when her top confidantes are being interviewed. he is present when she is being interviewed. this is the entire problem that americans have with washington, d.c., and had with hillary clinton. the idea that she is always above the law. there is a double standard, and sean, anybody, and this includes everybody who has wasted all of 2017 talking about russia, russia, russia, this investigation. they are duty-bound to cover this aspect of the investigation. this guy and the department of justice is four doors down from his boss, the deputy attorney general. he is in main justice, on the main floor there. and he is going after donald trump, which they did not expect and did not want to. he is meeting with the guy who put together a dossier using dnc and clinton campaign money and trying to figure how to discredit the elected president.

it stinks to high heaven. and i think that there is so much going on so quickly with all of this information that it is very easy for americans to tune it out or feel confused or it does not affect me. what are we doing for christmas? what is going on for new year's? they will pay attention. and part of it is that the media has had a trap for themselves. they have been so obsessed for a year plus with what they consider to be an important investigation. talking about russia and not america. it also shows something else. i want to stay one more. hillary clinton -- she has every advantage possible. all of the kings horses and kings men, so much more money and so much more personnel. she has all of the mainstream media. she has all of the democrats behind her. the two presidents and her husband and her predecessor. his record did not get a third term to her presidency. all of these advantages, and then after she loses she still has advantages. she still has people going for

her. donald trump won the issues, he won. he was a better communicator. his ideas prevailed, hers failed. and this idea on his health is offensive. i will not even dignify except to say, remember when hillary clinton folded like an accordion in front of the whole world on 9/11? we said nothing about it the whole day at the campaign. zero. she folded in front of everyone. apparently she had had pneumonia two days earlier. you know what she did that night? she was at a restaurant with her high class donors. and then she takes five days off before the debate, donald trump's doing seven rallies a day and beating her. and she is taking time off of the rest and we will talk about his health, it's a joke. i know. >> sean: i do remember her collapse and a bunch of other issues that came up on the campaign. kellyanne, good to see you. we appreciate it. thank you so much. by the way, those images that you are seeing, san diego, california. you have these wildfires now raging out of control.

you have to hide blowing santa ana winds coming. it has really, really -- these are chilling photos. we will keep an eye on it throughout the night tonight. here with more reaction first is salem national syndicated host larry elder, dan bongino, and look at this, we have to be careful. i respect secret service, fbi, intelligence people. that is not what we are talking about. we are talking about the highest level within these agencies, clearly covering up for hillary clinton before they ever investigate. and literally applying one double standard after another using pro hillary, anti-trump prosecutors to do it. this literally is a threat to our entire legal system if this holds up. your thoughts? >> you know, sean, i'm really terrified right now, and i know that sounds hyperbolic to some of the democrats listening,

but i mean it, as a formal federal agent who has been inside the white house and the federal government, do you realize the awesome power that the federal government has? the sitting president, the most powerful man in the world, has been targeted by a clearly political process, this is not a criminal process, and there is nothing he can do. i get it, there are people in the government that have political opinions but everybody understands that. but i am asking the audience, what are the chances that everybody with a strong political opinion, which is both anti-trump and pro hillary managed to wiggle their way into the justice department and influential positions of the fbi and have decision-making power over both the special counsel investigation and the hillary investigation? listen to me, this is a scam. and if it is allowed to proceed, the americans faith in the constitutional republic will be shaken. i promise you. >> sean: larry, put on your legal hat for just a second, most people know that you are a lawyer. look at this from a legal

perspective. we are talking about illegal surveillance unmasking, leaking of raw intelligence, then we have a hillary clinton bought and paid for dossier. questions about the dossier that she bought and paid for -- was it used to get a warrant? to literally surveil an opposition candidate in an election year and surveil a president-elect. these questions are chilling enough, then you have the anti-trump bias, pro hillary appointee in mueller. how do you untangle this web? >> you know, i remember when mitch mcconnell said that the best thing i can do for the country is to make obama a one term president. he got hammered. he was called racist by morgan freeman along with other people. can you imagine what they will be saying if president obama was being investigated for reasons this weak, this thin, this lane?

the republican party would be accused of being racist, and the accusers will be right. this is a joke. can you imagine if obama was being investigated by people who made contributions to john mccain? or to romney? sent text messages slamming him? it is insane. and to pay for this dossier in the dossier apparently was a trigger to go to the fisa court to get a warrant to surveil members of the trump team, it is incredible to me that this is going on and if the shoe were on the other foot and they were going after obama, the country would be on fire. you'd would have people screaming bloody murder. >> sean: you know, i have friends of mine retired currently, fbi -- and i know that you do, dan bongino, and they are apoplectic over what is going on here. they see clearly. they feel like the president feels, that this agency, these

agencies that they love and have devoted their lives to, is rightly come under criticism from those at the top with what they are doing and how they are doing it. when have you ever heard of an exoneration by the fbi changing language? the exoneration before the investigation? how can anybody, by any definition, say that that is fundamentally just in any way? >> you can't, sean. the justice department failed us. i'm sorry. it lets us down. i agree with you. i know the rank and file men and women. they are great. it is not their fault. but the most important question right now in the american political process, special counsel, everything going on. that was asked by jim jordan today. was the dossier a political opposition research document used to get an affidavit to spy on what would've been under any circumstance, a law-abiding american in michael flynn?

if that is the case, mark my words, you saw the first hijacking of the fbi by the democratic national committee and a major candidate in the hillary clinton campaign. >> sean: thank you both for being with us. >> look at the double standard, hillary skates the servers in the basement, the emails are deleted, and she skates, and all of the sudden -- >> sean: they covered for her, larry. the fix was in for hillary clinton. it was all a cover up. the whole thing. it is provable now. all right, thank you both. there is a lot more to cover tonight. powerful edition of "hannity." sara carter, gregg jarrett, john solomon, newt gingrich is here. ventura county, san diego raging wildfires leaving a trail of destruction as we speak in southern california. we will have a report on that and more. ♪ is this a phone?

his ties with fusion gps. the firm responsible for the dirty russian anti-trump dossier bought and paid for by hillary and the dnc, sara carter reporting tonight that the house intel committee chairman devin nunes is going to issue a subpoena for this demoted justice department official. joining us now with more on the developing story, john solomon, sara carter, gregg jarrett. we have to start with where we are here, sara. it is not just him. rumors tonight running rampant of a major shake-up coming to theig fbi. possibly as early as tomorrow. >> that is right, sean. that is what i have been hearinh from my sources. we know that bruce ohr as reported by james rosen was demoted from deputy attorney general, and now he is facing a subpoena by the house intelligence committee. and that should be issued in the next couple of days. they are issuing that subpoena, it has not happened yet today.

it is going through the process right now. within the next day, possibly as soon as tomorrow, they should have that subpoena issued. now we are also looking at other developments. we know that bruce ohr had met with christopher steele prior to the election and then after the election he met with glenn simpson, who is the owner of fusion gps, who by the way, paid christopher steele with the money from the dnc and hillary clinton to fund the rest of the dossier, the salacious, unverified dossier. so right now what the intelligence committee chairman wants to know is why did he meet with him? what did they discuss? and why did he meet with glenn simpson and what did they discuss after the election? this is really big news. big, big news. maybe even bigger than peter strzok. >> sean: all great points that you are making. by the way, also the talk of what about rod rosenstein? i would like to know what he

knew. i would like to know what comey knew. i would like to know what mueller knew ahead of this. a lot of these questions being raised about, okay, this team that has covered for hillary clinton and put all of these biased people going after donald trump. what would it take to get rid of a special counsel? >> that is a great question. it is a high legal standard. you have to have 1 of 3 things. misconduct, you have to haveyo done something wrong in the investigation. h a clear conflict of interest, that can be very interesting in the next few weeks. or an abuse of power. not just because people do not like the people that he picked or the political sentiments of the people to remove someone p f that stature. there has to be a very seriousem conflict, abuse of power, or misconduct. and today i don't think that anything has emerged yet. >> sean: it is getting d very close. >> i think the conflict of interest thing is something we should watch.. we will learn some things in the nexts two weeks they will raise questions on that front.t. >> there are two conflicts of

interest that could get mueller fired. the first one is mueller interviewed with the president for comey's job the day before. >> the next day he takes the job of special counsel. think about that. sitting across from the man who is posing questions, and mueller is not telling the president. he is being dishonest and deceptive. involved in the aftermath of the comey firing, which is the subject of the special counsel investigation.n. that disqualifies him. mandatory under the law, the other is his close friendship, also a mandatory disqualification, his friendship with comey. mueller has refused to resign or step aside, it is time that the attorney general unrecuse himself, replace mueller, and clean up the staff that is rife with political motives. >> sean: where are we, sara, on the issue of reports that

comey wanted to hire christopher steele? did they pay christopher steele? and when you get to the whole dossier issue, the fact that ohr knew all of that and he is four doors down from rod rosenstein? >> it is incredible, sean. and right now, we know one thing, that nunes has been cleared by the ethics committee. for eight months, they sidelined the chair of the intelligence committee on one question. i've talked to sources up in congress that said that this was incredible.ss would have never happened in the past. those are the questions that they want answered and that is what they are seeking. they will subpoena bruce ohr, they have already presented those questions to the doj, we know that the inspector general is investigating this,ey and these are the questions that the american public wants answered as well as me, john, everybody else, you. so there has to be some answer

coming from the fbi especially from fbi director wray. >> sean: are the house of cards going to blow down? >> i think so. and it is a shame, there are so many lawyers that do not have a political ax to grind that robert mueller could havean selected. it was deliberate and by design, instead, he stacked it with people with egregious political biases. people who, in one case, defending the hillary clinton foundation. in another defending her toppl i.t. aid. these are people who should be nowhere near this investigation of clinton's opponent, trump. >> sean: knowing what you know and how bad it is coming, how bad is this good for mueller? >> there is a question that has not been focused on for peter strzok.d he was in a counter intelligence position on two of the most important investigations over the past year. trump and clinton.

they are the focus of foreign powers, he engaged in an affair if the reports are true, what is a one-way foreign power -- through affairs. after it was revealed that he had an affair, with a fellow fbi agent, the fbi department talking about integrity, where do they put him, and human resources like he has some expertise on following the rules. it is amazing to me. there are more questions about whether he was in a compromised position. he had an affair. >> sean: it was epic at the hearing today. i mean -- seriously, what the republican state is everything we have all been talking about. it is getting interesting. thank you, all. when we come back, tomi lahren, jessica tarlov weigh in. also newt gingrich reacts to the witch hunt. as we continue. ♪ as we cont

when the protectors are warned that power tends to corrupt. absolute power corrupts absolutely. we are living through that experience right now. we are seeing power in the justice department, power in the fbi that clearly lead to corruption. that means that you need to take some very severe steps. it may, frankly, developing some panels of special outside lawyers who have the full power to subpoena everything and go in and to route the stuff out.de this is really a serious, serious problem.ev >> sean: it is also a serious problem if you have a groupou of people that want to p undo an election. do you believe at the heart that there is a deep state, may be including former intelligence officials or people that use a weaponry of intelligence that are criminalizing perhaps the fbi? deep state to lead teams that have as their goal that they think the american people made a mistake and they want to undo the results of this election and

they are using every devious tactic that they possibly can? >> a good friend of mine who has been through this said to me today, you have to understand that in 2016, the idea of donald trump as president was so horrifying to the left that any action was seen as acceptable no matter how illegal -- as long as it was for the purpose of stopping trump. and i think that they all frankly expected hillary to win and that they would cover up all of their crimes. the great shock to them is that trump david win. >> a good friend of mine who has been through this said to me today, you have to understand that in 2016, the idea of donald trump as president was so horrifying to the left that any action was seen as acceptable no matter how illegal -- as long as it was for the purpose of stoppingd houghedeas trump. and i think that they all frankly expected hillary to win and that they would cover up all of their crimes. the great shock to them is that trump david win.n. and slowly, painfully, step-by-step we are beginning to unmask how sick the system is, how deep the corruptionep is. and now people are at risk. i think mueller is at risk. comey is at risk. a whole group of people at risk for basically violating the law and abusing power, in remarkable ways. i don't know if any experienceal in american history where you

have the scale of abuse of power that we are seeing right now. >> sean: the boomerang effectha is in full play, because we now know that hillary clinton through her campaign, through the dnc, which donna brazile is saying that she controlled, the money that therein.y that they paid fusion gps and they hired christopher steele. he pays russians to lie about donald trump all to infiltrate the election and there is a possibility as it came up in the hearing with jim jordan, that orphony-russian-propaganda-lying dossier was used as the basis to get a fisa warrant against either candidate and/orhe candidate trump and president-elect trump and his team. if that is the case, which it appears it may be a possibility after the hearings today, what does that mean?ch >> what it means is that the obama administration did

everything that it could to block trump from winning and second, to undermine and weaken and cripple trump as he took power. and this is ultimately going to go all the way through the entire administration. it is the national security advisor. it is the ambassador to the united nations. it is a whole range of people. it is the attorney general. and i think that people need to recognize this. it is an extraordinarily wide-ranging pattern of corruption. i mean corruption, not in the sense of money swapping hands, but in the old fashion sense that the founding fathers would have understood.d. that these are people who were abusing the law for their special interest and the special interest of their faction. and they were prepared to hurt the innocent.ct they were prepared to frame people, whatever they had to do, because they believed that the cause that they were fighting for was so self-righteous in defeating trump. even more than electing hillary, it was the specter of trump that

terrified them. and anything was legitimate. it was not. it was in fact, illegal. >> sean: we have to leave it there, mr. speaker. always great to see you. thank you for being withac us. up next, we have a live report. look at that, southern california on fire tonight. wildfires destroying the region. that report is straight ahead. ♪ that report is touch is how we communicate with those we love, but when your psoriasis is bad, does it ever get in the way? embrace the chance of 100% clear skin with taltz. taltz is proven to help people with moderate to severe psoriasis achieve completely clear skin. with taltz, up to 90% of patients had a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. in fact, 4 out of 10 even achieved completely clear skin. don't use if you're allergic to taltz. before starting, you should be checked for tuberculosis.
