for tonight. we love to hear from you. send me a tweet @marthamaccallum or you can email us because some people like that better. thestoryatfoxnews.com. tucker carlson in d.c. next. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." the fbi is america's most powerful law enforcement agency, the most powerful agency actually. it's got a budget of almost $9 billion. they can break on the front door of your house with guns. we trust them to do a lot of things, to handle investigations of the utmost sensitivity and importance often against powerful national figures. it's critical, obviously that a body like the fbi ought to be transparent and accountable. they see themselves as the fourth branch of government to explain themselves.

ron johnson represents wisconsin, he chairs the security committee. he spent years trying to get information from the fbi only to be, as no other word for it, stonewalled caved after case. today, he released comey's statement. the question is, who made those edits? many suspect peter strauch. he has been exposed as a fierce partisan who left hillary clinton and said the fbi needed insurance against a trump win. comey's letter is the only evidence that is repeatedly ignored including the boston bombing, the shooting in garland, texas, that an undercover fbi agent helped provoke. there is no nondisclosure agreement on a government

watchdog to an order to keep it from sharing its findings of government. is that allowed question mike senator johnson has sent two letters to the fbi. thanks for joining us. your office released the draft of this comey speech and it's clear somebody changed it in hillary's favor. the question is who? you've asked the fbi to explain who made these edits? why will they respond? >> they don't believe they need to or they have to. what's interesting about this is this new draft statement was done months before the computed the interviews. the fbi again, this investigation into clinton's email was not meant to uncover the truth leading to prosecution. it was meant to cover up the truth and exonerate hillary clinton. the fbi director basically writing a letter exonerate

hillary clinton, in that letter, he is using the term gross negligence a number of times. he's talking with the sheer volume of material that would be classified for why he would prosecute, but he earlier had -- there's so many things in the initial statement that would lead to people saying why didn't you indict? i remember when he held that news conference, i had attorneys that were prosecutors and he was going through the evidence. people were saying he is going to indict her. and then he's not? >> to dumb academic speech of the draft is edited and may of 2016. he didn't read it in public until two months later. when it was written, and exonerated hillary clinton, they did not interview about a dozen other people including

hillary clinton and sean mills. that looks like a sham to me. >> the new talk about the immunity agreements, they gave them -- they basically blocked the fbi from looking at certain emails that would have proven up certain of justice. they love them to then destroy their computers. this is not an investigation -- >> tucker: if someone like hillary clinton does this, she gets off. >> we see this now, they use it as a political weapon. see the politicization of the fbi, so we're losing confidence in these institutions that should be bedbugs of our democracy. again, i have no idea why the

fbi doesn't just come clean and provide this information to congress. what are they trying to hide? were they trying to cover up? >> tucker: how can you exonerate someone before interviewing that person or other key figures? have the answer that? >> absolutely not. other than hiding behind the nda, they are not telling us what why they won't release this information. >> tucker: you're a branch of government, you were elected by voters, so the basic question to democracy hangs in the balance paren what can you do? >> general oversight. that's our responsibility, duty, and right. we can subpoena, but we have no power to really enforce those subpoenas. that resides in the executive branch. >> tucker: so what can you do? >> keep making this public and hopefully public pressure will force the fbi to come clean if they really want to remove the

suspicions surrounding natalie happened back under the hillary clinton email investigation, but currently what's happening under the mueller investigation. the same cast of characters are involved in both. >> tucker: do you find this a little scary? >> yes, absolutely and more than frustrating. >> tucker: i can't imagine. thank you. >> have a good night. >> tucker: the state department repeatedly struck a deal with hillary clinton and home amity and that allowed them to remove files, hard copies of files of records they claim for personal and keep them from the public eye. this does not happen and federal agencies typically. fox news chief national correspondent ed henry is on it and he has the details. >> good to see you. the documents are today suggest hillary clinton certainly got a lot of scrutiny about her email servers. she also had people we reach deep inside the federal government including at the state department who helped try to keep her out of trouble. as you noted, this is a result

of a lawsuit by the conservative group judicial watch. what they found is that the state of herman allowed clinton and top aides like houma aberdeen remove emails before she left office bear the claim as they were unclassified records and they were personal material. and fairness, some of the records were very official sending records like her schedule, her call log, who she spoke to. huma abedin was allowed to take five boxes of physical material out of the state department headquarters here in washington including a set of records titled muslim engagement documents. these records included so-called gift binders. what judicial watch believes that to be is lists of gifts that the clinton foundation received from various donors around the world.

that could shed some light not only on the gifts that were received, but the actions taken by the state department. here's the key question tonight that we don't know. whether there were copies made of these records because even if they took them out obviously, there could be a record buried somewhere in the state permit that will eventually come out. >> tucker: and henry, thank you for that. first, we want to ask about the changes to comey memo. howie dershowitz is one of the the -- up at comey which was written two months before he read it and two months before the fbi completed his interviews, how could you write a memo exonerating someone for the investigation had concluded?

>> does anyone one to live a judicial system where one's freedom depends on the conduct being in a closely -- grossly negligent or extremely careless? which is worse? it would be split 50/50. these rules are absurd the way we criminalize conduct using terms like that that endanger everyone. also, let's look at the other big picture. comey's decision to make this statement, calling her extremely careless, may very well have contributed to her losing the election. comey was not her friend, he was perceived to be somebody who is trying to strike an appropriate balance. what i think happened here is ultimately, comey, not anybody else, made the decision that she should not be prosecuted. that's why the words were changed because if he had said

that she was grossly negligent, people would say my god, that's a crime. he already made the decision based on the fact that nobody had already been prosecuted. the position of authority like hillary clinton, her conduct -- that was in his statement. i think it's the right decision and i think the change of the language was designed to simply support the decision. no decision should ever be made. >> tucker: drove the constitutional scholar, but congress have oversight and they asked a really simple question, who made these changes? isn't that unconstitutional? >> they should be able to. our system is checks and balances. it causes congress to submit and

learn with the fbi has done. the fbi is a creature of congress. we have to be sure we have separation of powers, but checks and balances allows those to check on the legislative and executive branches. >> tucker: interesting. what do you make of the deal with the state department's that allowed hillary clinton and huma abedin to take files out of the building and prevented those files from being seen? i've never heard anything like that, have you? >> routinely, people who serve as secretary of state are going to write books and they routinely take material home that's personal, usually it copies are maintained at the government agency. i would expect that copies, electronic copies, exist of what clinton removed. it's worth asking about, but i wouldn't jump to any conclusions.

again, i don't want to see mineralization become the first resort. if we don't like what someone did come out lock her up. we see that today. >> tucker: i agree with you but humanly on that. i don't think that just because we don't like someone that they should be punished by the rule of law. i think why everyone is so spun up and threatened is because a lot of this is opaque. on what grounds could you hide your public schedule? >> you should never be able to do that. our government should be disclosing everything. everything is subjective unless there's an overwhelming national security reason for keeping it temporarily sealed. nothing should be permanently sealed and i think transparency

trumps privacy when you're a government official. >> tucker: thank you very much much. a number of new revelations raised profound doubts unfortunately about that robert miller investigation. how can we trust in the finding findings? why should just be quiet and accept what they tell you. ♪ you won'

♪ >> tucker: special counsel robert miller's investigation has produced its own version of

an advent calendar. you don't get chocolates on this one. every day brings a reason be skeptical. a number of members of this investigative team appeared to be partisan democrats, they are because 9 out of 15 have given money to the democrats, to the clintons. no matter how partisan you mark, have you ever given money to a candidate? probably not. only a 20% of americans do and it shows real commitment to the cause. what does it mean that 9 out of 15 have given money to democratic politicians? al, you've been in washington for a long time and you kind of know how it works. there were partisan democrat, that's fine. does it bother you at all that this investigation seems to have a lot of people close to the

heart of it who are actively partisan? does that shake your faith? >> not really. director comey left, i think the democrats and republicans thought he should go, so if you have problems, they need to be rooted out. one of the jetta menu mentioned, peter strack has been reassigned. i think you words and hr now. >> tucker: why hide? he signed the original investigative order of the russia trump collusion story. why would the mueller hide the fact that he had been demoted for months from congress and why won't the fbi answer a very simple question? is he the one who revised comey's speech? will be the point in not revealing that? >> i think all the facts should

come out. what's the problem with that? i think mueller runs a very tight ship. you haven't seen many leaks at all. his view is probably, i'm not going to share any information. >> tucker: must be totally honest. at some point, democrats will take control of a branch of government. the fbi is not mostly liberals. most are pretty conservative. if you're setting a precedent now that the fbi can do whatever it wants, if they don't like you, they can crush you or if they do, they'll let you off, are you comfortable with that standard? >> i'm not comfortable what you just said being the standard. i think the facts will take us where they take us and bob mueller is a patriot. he is a guy who served our country with distinction. >> tucker: i think judge roy moore served in vietnam. >> he is a staunch republican, he was appointed by george bush.

the facts will take us with a take us. he's trying to do is come to a conclusion. nobody's going to be criminally prosecuted and proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt because of bias. if those things actually happen with respect to the individuals either in this a administration or some of those who have played, it's going to happen beef because the facts take us there. >> tucker: i saw what happened to cheryl mills and huma abedin. both said that they were not aware of hillary clinton's private email server. wikileaks released emails in which they discuss the private server, they lied and then got off. they were not charged karen mike flynn light and was charged with a felony and pled to it. there is a selective prosecution. that's an example of it. why wouldn't that make me

nervous? >> they don't always chase everybody down all the time. perhaps what you're saying is exactly right, but that doesn't mean necessarily you shouldn't trust the institution. my concern with respect to that is why when people knowing that the fbi would come out with that second letter western mark >> tucker: you will conceive that the fbi has in a number of specific examples acted in an investigation of the last couple of years. the records are saying nothing because they're happy with what's going on. when they take power at some point, how do you think they'll do against the fbi that has basically unlimited power and no oversight in congress? >> again, we have to focus on the facts.

you are suggesting they're going to take facts, twist them, and an action agenda, i don't see that. the current head of the fbi is trumps fbi. he just testified that mueller is totally credible. >> tucker: the genesis of all this was the claim with the trump campaign colluded with the russian government in order to alter the outcome of these american presidential elections. we see no evidence that that's true. if at the end of this investigation, you see paul manafort and general flynn go down on perjury charges, there is no evidence of collusion. would it have been worth it? >> we had a president impeached for perjuring himself, so let's

not belittle that. >> tucker: i am belittling that. in the case of bill clinton who should not have been impeached for lying. i'm not defending lyon, i'm saying you shut down the federal government, you basically undo the will of the voters in the last election and the service of nothing. i don't know how you could defend that. >> that's what the trump supporters believe and are hoping is the case. we are at the tip of the iceber iceberg. is michael flynn, when he faced tens of years of jail time for other charges, there's something going on there. papadopoulos promised to be a cooperating witness for months. we don't know what that cooperation will yield. flynn promised to cooperate. i think where the tip of the iceberg. >> tucker: if there is ever evidence that they colluded with the russian government -- i haven't seen them and over a

year talk about the single evidence. thank you. the panic over sexual harassment isn't just ending careers, it's now claiming lives. up next, will ask mark steyn whether it's time to take a break from all of this. take a breath and figure out what the rules are going forward. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ when you have a cold, stuff happens. ♪

>> tucker: oil sexual harassment cases has turned into a maelstrom that's not ending just careers come about lives. yesterday a kentucky state representative called darren johnson -- he shot himself. he posted a suicide note online denying allegations that he kissed and groped a 17-year-old girl at a new year's party five years ago. please investigate the claim at the time and decided not to press charges. when the allegations surfaced again recently, johnson again denied them, but apparently felt he had no way out. was stan johnson guilty? we'll never know. yesterday, a pbs program was pulled off the air. smiley responded by denying all the allegations. what's interesting is what he says about the process that ended his career. pbs he says launched an investigation into his behavior without even informing him and

was going on. i learned of the investigation when a former staffer started contacting me to share the uncomfortable experience of receiving a phone call from a stranger asking whether i'd ever done anything to make them uncomfortable and if they could provide other names of persons to call. pbs investors refused to reveal any of my documentations and the names of any accusers, to speak to my current staff and refused to provide me any semblance of due process to defend myself against allegations from unknown sources. this is just his word of course, we can't confirm any of that. for what it's worth, tavis smiley has ever said anything we agree with politically. that's not the point. the point is it began as a noble effort to eliminate sexual harassment from american life, and effort we agree with the humanly. it's rapidly turning into something dark and menacing. innocent people fear persecution and that's always the hallmark of a witch hunt others use

allegation to settle scores or to gain power and thus the opposite of justice. the rest of the country looks on bewildered and afraid, unsure of what the new rules are, but certain of this punishment for violating them. imagine if you were accused by someone whose name he didn't know of a deed you couldn't remember or didn't commit. how would you respond to that? you might go on facebook to protest her innocence, but would that be enough to get your job back? would it be enough to regain reputation with respect to your children? probably not. what would you do then? mark steyn joins us now. i feel so intimidated that i have to say out loud, i think sexual harassment is abhorrent and those were guilty should be punished, but i'm starting to be concerned that innocent people are afraid of being hurt and that's a bad sign. the question is, what are the rules, how do we find out what they are, how do you know if

your guilty? what's going on? >> realistically, there are no rules. just to connect it with the first half of the show, the only serious likelihood of ever getting rid of bob mueller and shutting down his investigation for example would be if a stenographer said he hugged her inappropriately in 1977. he'd be gone, he'd be history. he'd be like these pbs and npr guys basically had fifty-year careers vaporized in 24 hours. what has happened i think is what often happens. it's the end of any report. this started with harvey weinstein who has been credibly accused by actresses on at least three continents of rape or brutal sexual assaults.

there are names and dates and places backing up those accusations. actresses from new zealand, from france, from the united kingdom, the united states, canada, all over the map with names. that has morphed into a general accusation. garrison keillor was on my show and he was deeply unpleasant, but i feel about him the way you feel about tavis smiley. if he's going to be vaporized and have his life's work wiped out, at the very least, we should know what he did and who he did it to. >> tucker: why is somebody saying that?

>> there is a general agreement on the left and that has been essentially driven by left wing dominated industries that they are now weaponizing the way they weaponized race. it's a useful weapon to them and that necessarily means the kind of clearing out the decks. i'm astonished. the vast empty plains of the pbs and mpr schedules, you can actually hunt buffalo there. hosts are gone and moments and it's absolutely astonishing to me and it will make social relations impossible. you must think, as i think occasionally, do i really want to be alone with a female employee and now? who knows how she's going to feel about it in 30 years' time? i don't think that's necessarily

in the interest of women in the workplace. i don't think it's of the interest of social relations. it's a moral panic that started with genuine rape and violence and power issues. >> tucker: i wonder why, again, it's always valuable and virtuous to make sure the guilty are punished. that's what justice is. i also think that journalists play a role in this and they ought to be the responsible parties in these stories and maybe somebody should pull back a little bit and make certain that the allegations are true and that the process is transparent before destroying people's careers and reputations, but they're not doing that. >> one reason they're not doing that is essentially, it's their business that is being clobbere

clobbered. basically, tv and motion pictures are two of the most desirable businesses to be in. there are far more attractive women flying to work in those industries then and any other industries on the planet. i live in far northern new hampshire and the local store does not have a casting couch because if you said to a comely young lady, there could be a really good job as a night clerk here if you play your cards right, she'd laugh at your face and go off and do something else. in television and motion pictures, there is a supply -- >> tucker: that's absolutely true. it's a perfect environment. mark steyn, thank you for your wisdom as always. >> thanks a lot. >> tucker: a college president
