him. and we hope you'll join us then, as well. have a great night. laura ingraham is live now from washington, d.c. hello, laura. i follow you on tw. come on, who doesn't follow you? >> judge jeanine: it's my firsthandoff to you congratulations. >> laura: thanks so much, judge. great to see you will. welcome to the ingraham angle from washington. famed attorney lisa bloom shooting the messenger, blaming a far right journalist for busting her case. that's apparently after she was caught red-handed soliciting funds for those accusing donald trump of sexual misconduct. and that supposedly far right journalist is actually well-respected reporter john solomon of the hill. he used to work at the a.p. he is going to be here to give his side of the story. but, first, the left's hyperbole and hypocrisy regarding criticism of bob

mueller and the fbi. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." critics of the president and this channel are howling that we are putting the country in danger. what's our crime? accurately reporting the alarming bias within essential counsel bob mueller's investigation. despite the fact that mueller and his team have unearthed no evidence of so-called collusion between trump and russia, the left considers it basically it's crime to even raise legitimate questions about the staffing and the tactics of the mueller investigation. iand they are now going into full on appear plexy. >> this has been a month long's orchestrated frankly pathetic and also dangerous attack. >> it's a real example of the divide in the country and how conservative media is fueling that divide right now. >> they are fomenting a constitutional crisis. what they are doing could lead to violence.

>> laura: oh, really, joe? come on, even you don't believe that let's get this straight. the democrat smear machine can run 24/7 maligning president trump they use innuendo and anonymous leaks. but the special counsel is beyond reproach? they had their billionaires like tom steyer launching these absurd impeachment efforts on tv. they have hollywood infecting their programming with tedious anti-trump vitriol and who knows how many congressman and senators are now demanding the president's resignation. yet, they want us to tone it counsel? and they want us to refrain from exposing the rank conflict presented by current members of the mueller team? people like jeanne rhee and andrew weissmann? we can't mention them? their world warped view you can call for a president who by the way oversees the fbi to step aside because of decades old allegations but we can't call for the resignation of deputy fbi

director andrew mccabe who is at the heart of this entire mess? well, isn't that nifty? it's like heads, you win. tails we lose. nice try. we have every right to report on the abuse of power within any agency in government. a principle democrats used to favor. indeed, if anyone has attacked law enforcement unfairly over the years, it's the democrats and their enablers in the media. who can forget fanning the flames in st. louis or baltimore? this is the same media who denigrated law enforcement officers for years in defense of social justifiable warriors and false narratives. >> when we equip police with all these powers and no training, that doesn't just affect one segment of the community, that impacts everybody. >> let's make that clear. the city is not burning because of protesters. the city is burning because the police killed freddie gray.

>> i do not trust. this oh they are bad they did something wrong they deserve what they had coming rationale which is the same one we hear from the cia as we hear from police in the case like michael brown. our hearts are out there marching with them. >> they never challenge the lie of hands up, don't shoot. and remember they lapped up the false narrative that the police killed freddie gray. it was all a crock. it was all done to cast aspersions on police. and empathize with certain minority activists. law enforcement did not get the benefit of the doubt in those cases. and oftentimes that is the case with them. so, no, i'm not dissuaded for a nano second by their phony claims of shock and dismay over conservatives who have the temerity to challenge bob mueller, jim comey, and andrew mccabe. and let's not forget what the president said last week about the rank and file of that very agency of the fbi. >> when you return home to

your local precincts, i want you to deliver a message to your fellow officers. the president of the united states has your back 100 percent. >> laura: definitely sounds like he and his followers don't support the fbi. look, the fact is, what the left is really urekd about, let's be on nest here that the president is actually follow through on his major promises. and, by the way, we saw this today with the announcement of our new american security strategy. henceforth, we will use a principled realism to deal with our allies and our adversaries. we see china now for what it is. it's a state-run power aggressively seeking global dominance. work with them when we can, but we have our eyes wide open. same with russia. although let's face it they have an economy smaller than france's. it's not quite china. our approach now will be consistently ground in our america first ideal. it's a total, complete

repudiation of obama citizenship of the world clap trap that we heard about so often for his eight years. so no wonder the left is totally unhinged, soaring economy, tax reform about to pass, confidence high, isis smashed, deportations up, foreign policy refocused. and, no, we are not tired of winning. but as we do so, we will continue to ask uncomfortable questions at times about bob mueller's team or any other part of the government where corruption might lie. it's our job. and that's the angle. and now for a deeper look into what is really going on in the mueller investigation. the "wall street journal's" kim centra strassel joins us frm alaska and former assistant director ron wh hofsco. what did i get right and what did i get wrong? >> i think you got a lot right. on many levels the president

is suck sue succeeding and the a is right to shed a light and raise questions that i think are legit that questions about whether bob mueller is running an unbiased, fair, responsible investigation. those are fair questions to ask. given the background of some of the attorneys that have staffed that group. >> laura: he makes a distinction, ron, between the rank and file officers of the fbi. you can see his love for the law enforcement whether it's police, first responders, firefighters, or the fbi. and the leadership which at times, i think in this case, has made judgments in hiring that have been ill advised at the very least. >> look, bob mueller has the right to hire the team of his choosing. however, raising questions and looking at the composition of that team, i think is entirely legitimate because at the end of the day, what you want is unbiased investigation. the light is going to shine in. we are going to have an

understanding and what has happened, what we saw on text he is changes between a lead fbi investigator and an fbi attorney. >> laura: peter strzok and lisa page. >> those raise legitimate questions. they certainly are embarrassing to the workforce over there and, look, the fbi knows the rank and file know and the senior leadership knows that your personal biases can never infect your work. we all have certain biases. we all have proclivities. but you can't let it infect the work. >> laura: kim, you have been reporting extensively on this. the appear let pick response from the left for these legitimate questions that ron referenced as a former fbi man himself. assistant director. they are over the top law enforcement questioned vicious way oftentimes unfounded.

>> look, i think the depth and the range of that complaint about him and the attacks on him are a signal of democratic realization how big a problem bob mueller has created for himself. let's be clear, bob mueller has done this to himself. nobody else. it's not the conservative media. i think a lot of us out there, myself included, when he was first appointed we were hopeful, we wanted to know. i still want to know is there anything improper or illegal about trump transition team or campaign team ties to the russians? i think a lot of people also expected he was going to look into what really happened last year. whached within the fbi. we are coming to the realization not only is the team that is working for him incapable of looking to those people because never are the ones that stand accused, as it. were they may have biases that prohibit them from

fairly looking at the trump team and what happened. and he has done this to himself by choosing them and then by not coming clean what he found out himself what was going on. >> laura: i think the "wall street journal" writer who originally wrote about this today kim said when they talked about an insurance policy, they were essentially trying to help trump. did you see that response today on twitter? it was like 14-tweet long chain which brit hume and i were howling about on twitter. okay, so he is actually trying to help trump with this insurance policy. i couldn't follow that. i have to confess. >> well, there is a lot of theories getting thrown out there right now how you could sling this pause it looks very bad. here is the reality, laura, we are not going to know until the fbi puts this guy forward to be interviewed by congress. again, i think this gets to the problem that mueller has. they wanted to interview him months ago. and the fbi has continued to

refuse to make him available. they kept those nexts hidden. did the mueller team. does that does not inentire confidence by anyone. if bob mueller had cared about the credibility of what he was doing when he demoted this guy back in july he would have gone to congress who clearly has an interest in this. saidlike i dealt with the problem. that is not what happens. >> laura: ron, this is what andy mccarthy said today on my radio show. he was talking about the initial decision to recuse himself by jeff sessions. let's listen. >> i give him a one on how he has performed in connection with the russia stuff. his recusal on russia was way too broad, including giving mueller a warrant to investigate this thing that has absolutely no limits and that has become just a fishing expedition that people like me complained it

was gonna be. >> laura: he gave sessions a 1 out of 10 on the handling of this thing and most everything else he has been fantastic. this was a mistake from the beginning. no evidence of a crime. yet, and limitless supply of lawyers, money, and time. >> and there's a couple things that give me faith in bob mueller. and in the outcome of this investigation. like kimberly, i want to know, too. one, i worked for bob mueller. i think he is a person of high integrity. he is a patriot. two, the sun will shine in on this investigation. the results will tell us what did he find? it could well be and we haven't seen him get close to the president yet, could well be that he finds nothing. that he has found some other lower level accurately by mike flynn, who has pled guilty, by paul manafort who has been charged and a couple of others. but, because this is going to play out in the u.s. courts, we're going to get to see what the evidence is

we're going to get to see the strengths of the evidence. >> laura: not going to play out in the u.s. courts regarding the president. that's not how it works. it's not going to play out in the u.s. courts. >> i'm talking about players. >> laura: the manafort stuff, i don't see how that has any relevance. kim, the manafort trial that will come up with this year perhaps, i'm not seeing any evidence so far that that is connected to anything really close to the president at all. >> no. i mean, this is part of the dissolutionment, i think, with the mueller probe. people were hoping he was going to come in and we would get the story of what happened in 2016. peepeople are now reminded that's never what happens whether you have a special prosecutor. we have lower level crimes. they somehow cast suspicion on the trump team, but they don't tell us anything because they are not crimes that are in any way related to what the original charges were obstruction, collusion, et cetera. i would have been much happier if bob mueller in

the way of finding these things along the way referred them back to the justifiable department to handle and since we have decided is there collusion? is there obstruction? close up shop. >> laura: and andy mccarthy keeps saying, collusion, there is not a crime in actually speaking to russian officials during an election cycle. that's like another thing that people keep repeating. that's not in the federal register as a crime. so, the underpinning of this investigation from the beginning from sessions recusing himself which i think was a huge mistake to the naming of rod rosenstein. rod rosenstein calling a special counsel. those are cataclysmic decisions. i think those are going to go down as not smart decisions in the end. great to see both of you. thank you so much. a famed feminist attorney is accused of offering women payments who made allegizations against donald trump. she is going after that reporter who broke the story. he's going to defend himself up next. stay there.

attract accusers. truth being, perhaps, a secondary consideration. now bloom is going on the attack, smearing the reporter who broke the story, john solomon of "the hill" calling him a far right journalist. in reality john has broken many important stories this year. he joins us now with his side of the story. john, you far-right journalist. >> how about that. >> laura: you work for the a.p. stories about rape in the congo all those years ago. >> that's right. >> laura: you won awards and so forth. by the way, in law school i had a license plate that says far right. >> you apparently are. >> laura: everyone thought it was very funny. she is on the attack saying that you are distorting what really happened. it's not fair. what's your reaction. >> i learned a long time ago if you can't attack the facts do you ad hominem attack on the reporter. the attacks are unassailable. it's true even though she said she represented women

pro bono she had a nice way of collecting 3% commission by selling their story to the tabloids. arranged for donors possibly related to the election to pay these women money one of the women described a lot of pressure she felt as the election day got nearer for her to come out and make these allegations against trump. those are things not this dispute. >> laura: this is what lisa bloom told joy reid over the weekend. let's' watch. donors reached out to us and said my god what can we do to help her or other woman come forward. we have unequal playing field here. arranging for security and relocation services for any women who wanted it i want to be very clear. either hillary clinton nor anyone from her campaign was associated with any of those offers for relocation and security. >> laura: john no, one from the campaign, miller didn't know anything about it what little fact today di factoid.

>> super pacs can take a lot more money. she will not answer the question. i have asked it a hundred times. can't get an answer. >> laura: she didn't talk about mortgage payment for that house in queens. >> one of the women got offered $750,000. can you buy the secret service detail for that you don't need thatch protection there was other protection. one woman wanted mortgage paid. the other wanted college tuition for kids paid. a lot more than security. >> laura: email you broke tonight on the hill from jill hart makeup artist accused donald trump in a suit she dropped alleging some type of misconduct. this is what she wrote. she wrote to trump's assistant ronna graph, i also want to put it out there that i would be willing to say at a rally or somewhere how trump helped me with my self-confidence

and all -- this is from a woman who supposedly was going to come out, came out and said he mistreated me something like that. >> in between her two accusations there is a much greater context to this email. she wanted a job with the trump campaign. she asked to be his campaign makeup artist. >> someone groups you. you actually file a suit they ultimately drop. you obviously can't like him allegedly did this. then she wants to work in the campaign? >> not only that. >> laura: as a makeup artist? >> more than that she wanted him to be the pitch man for new cosmetic. >> laura: anything else? what was it manscara? >> it was a whole male beauty product line. >> laura: she wanted him to do infomercials for her. >> some pitch man work,

yeah. absolutely. >> laura: she came out and said tonight oh, i had gotten over the prior, but she was mad that donald trump said it didn't happen. >> that's right. >> laura: this is ridiculous. >> if you follow her story, she was angry at him, then not angry at him. >> laura: do my makeup line. i don't like you. >> work out a business deal and got angry again when he denied the accusations. >> laura: lisa bloom says none of this covers the fact she did not tell him to make up stories. >> none of the women were asked. one episode is interesting. one woman was asked to take all of her pro-trump stories down from facebook so they would be more believable. so that did happen. >> laura: they weren't told say this and i will give you x amount of money. >> not at all. >> laura: so good to talk to a far right journalist tonight. >> weird feeling sound to me. all right. >> laura: john, always great to see you. >> joining us to analyze all of this is civil rights attorney dillon from san francisco along with juan

williams. the co-host of the five. all right, fine. can't say anything more without offending someone. >> i thought you actually hit the right point, which is from the perspective of the women, there is no ineld no indication here despite what lisa bloom may have been up to that they were in fact fabricating. their integrity is not the n. question here. what's in question is whether or not lisa bloom as a lawyer was really overstepping bounds either in terms of doing business with donors or potentially willing to take money from tabloids in exchange for the stories coming from the women. but, in terms of the charges, the women were lobbying -- levying against donald trump. there is no indication here that they were making things up, laura. >> laura: march meet, your reaction to this. $750,000 offered? they were in touch with

donors to hillary clinton who after that cancelled press conference -- before they were being offered money as well. right before the election. your reaction to this. >> yeah, well, i mean, in the real world i think what juan said was nice in tan tease land in the real world people do exchange their stories in exchange three quarters of a million dollars mortgage paid for or college paid for. what disgusts me as a plaintiff's lawyer is people do have real things that happen to them. when this type of situation happens with unscrupulous and law-breaking lawyer like lisa bloom what you have is a situation where people begin to doubt the stories of legitimate victims of sexual harassment and discrimination. that kind of disgusts me. by the way has anyone asked the question lisa bloom says oh, well, donors were calling me and approaching me. how does that work? how do the donors know to call lisa bloom or gloria

allred, her mother. any of these feminist -- self-proclaimed feminist lawyers unless it's put out there by somebody that these women are willing to source victims to come forward and tell their story. i have to credit lisa bloom for her creativity here. getting donor to make illegal campaign contribution. donation in kind to the hillary clinton campaign and herself personally profiting from that. that would be pretty good if she pulled it off. >> laura: i want to go back to john solomon for a second, john, any progress on the reporting on the donors, who they were, how much they were offering? it sounds like something styer would be up to if you asked me. >> calling lots of people and doing the old fashioned gum shoe work. the motivation can fall under federal election law if in fact they were trying to influence the election with money. >> laura: the question whether there are campaign finance reform violations, campaign finance law violations is an interesting one. because, if your goal is to

influence the outcome of an election as john wrote tonight in his original article, that seems like that was a goal. she was flying all over the country trying to get this woman to show up at this press conference and said it's really important that you tell your story and obviously it didn't happen with that last woman. that seems like it's certain live the effort if you are offering money harmeet said that's in kind donation campaign earth you could without a doubt be raising questions about campaign finance if you are talking about 750,000ed? >> you can raise questions. i still don't see that there was aim croovment i don't approve of lisa bloom's behavior because it looks to me as it was pointed out that it then opens questions about the credibility of the women's testimony. there is no indication made anything up. harmeet thits when all that on the table wouldn't make

up. was there evidence that it was made up. your point was interesting to me. i still don't see a crime. remember, back then in the mideast the campaign, everybody knew about women coming out. and if these donors wanted to protect the women, i don't see that that's illegal or inkind contribution. >> laura: paying someone's mortgage off or tuition? >> that's protecting -- who doesn't want their mortgage paid off? that's a convenient dial. >> lisa bloom is the one conducting the negative eggs, that's my question to you, is it? i actually think with that. >> go right away. >> laura: jill hart, the macup artist. if someone did like donald trump groped, why would you want to work for the

campaign? there is nothing else she can do with new york city? no stage work she can do? she rushes to the campaign. let me work for you. i will be a surrogate. you may eattlezs against him in 1997. now he is good for women? when rewould h resupposed to bee you then or now? it would take five seconds to destroy her credibility. you guys are way too charitable. >> that's one woman. >> laura: that's the one i'm talking about right now. she is the one during the campaign. i'm giving my best example one. harmeet, you can close it out. >> yeah, laura, when people come to you as a plaintiff's lawyer about their story, these are vulnerable people. and i think that lisa bloom has really exploited some of these women. she goes and talk to somebody in their hospital then after th person doesn't comply she does manipulation thing. i have been very good to

you. and you have been very bad to he moo. if anybody anies the thyme many of all of this and escalating money election i have a bridge to tell sell you. >> great conversation. john solomon phenomenal report tonight. "boston globe" that fame mullsly expose the sex abuse in the catholic church. sex abuse within its own walls of the boston global. we will blow the lid off of

>> laura: talk about a double standard. get. this the "bosto the boston won a plulter is for reporting on domestic abuse. now they are facing their own scandal. the globe says the

misconduct of its own employees is a confidential personnel matter. this from the paper that argued the public interest outweighed the privacy of priests in seeking ununseal evidence. high pop is i? hypocrisy? you will decide. joining us is bill donahue and cathy areu publisher of catalina magazine. great to see both of you. thanks for joining us. bill, i know had you a little surgery today. thanks for touching it out with us. i love it you can't keep a good irishman down. come with battle scars. bill, the "boston globe" says this is a different situation. this was not a case of this individual employee committing any acts of physical violence. they site that as the reason for the confidentiality. >> right. they need to read massachusetts law. massachusetts law defines sexual harassment as verbal as well as physical conduct and beyond that, there were

many, many priests who were charged with rather screenial type of offenses. that didn't matter at all to the "boston globe." in fact, even today one of their reporters writing how we should make a distinction between somebody who grabs somebody and rape. i have made that discuss continuation for 18 years. these people are phoneys, rank hypocrites and all of a sudden they discovered privacy rights and confidentiality. one standard for the globe and one standard for the catholic church. >> laura: cathy? >> yeah, but i mean two wrongs don't make a right. the church needs to take care of its problems and the "boston globe" needs to take care of its problems and sexual abuse and harassment is not okay anywhere. so the boston global doesn't need to reveal who it accused the alleged harassers are as much as the church doesn't need to do that. the law will do that if these people are guilty, they will be punished. that's what we saw with the priest who committed the crimes and that's what we'll

see with the "boston globe." not a double standard at all. >> laura: this young woman in her 20's said and she filed this complaint back in march said he propositioned her to have sexual regions with his wife. vulgar sexual language according. other sexual harassment language have surfaced. the reporter resigned. >> okay. >> they declined to identify the employee his alleged conduct did not involve contact threats or persistent harassment how do you describe persistent? one allegation? many allegations? more allegations that have there is persistent conduct maybe not with that one employee but there could be a pattern or practice of this type of conduct in the newsroom seems like whose ox

is gored here. they champion this idea of full transparency back in 2003 or 2002. >> right, well, back then they did it because there was a definite problem going on with the catholic church and they were revealing the problem as a media source should do as the media should do. that's what the media does. they are the watchdog of the united states. of the world. >> laura: they won't be watchdog of themselves. >> alleged, we don't know. not going to destroy a person's reputation and life based on accusation. >> laura: i this think all the men accused of sexual harassment in all these cases their name shouldn't be used? >> the law doesn't require that their name be used. it's america, you are innocent until proven guilty. >> laura: it's not a court of law. give you example how phony these people are not just at the "boston globe." >> a number of years ago a woman came to my office and insisted that the catholic church post the names of all the accused.

not anybody who was found credibly or substantiated accusation. anybody who has been accused they should put that up on the website of the archdiocese. i had the phone in my hand and i picked it up and i said can i have the name of your boss and his phone number? she said why? i said i'm going to report you as sexually abusing me and then ask whether or not they will put your name up on the website of cnn. she said i got your point and i put the phone down. this just greats me so much. if you want to go back to the 1920s, that's what the "boston globe" says, we go back to the 1920s, about accused priests. the boston globe goes back to the 1870s. the catholic league will play for a leaving lawyers to look at the "boston globe" to see if there is any more of this kind of stuff going on. i don't believe them that they rolled out a couple of cases 1970s and roll out a case from today and we are expected to believe that's

it and they don't pay any price for it and the law enforcement are are not engaged? i have never seen such phoniness in my life outside of hollywood, perhaps. >> laura: they say they have hired a lot more women, a lot more women managers. >> right. i'm sure it can be proven. it's the media's job to push the nfl that sounds like what they were doing with the catholic church. the media has to ask the tough questions. >> laura: they have to ask the tough questions of themselves. you are making my point. i'm glad they exposed what they did. you let the light shine in at home, too. et. >> the "boston globe" should take care of their problems and catholic church should take care of their problems. >> problems not going to investigate them. >> they have been investigated. >> they are not going to investigate them. >> laura: investigate themselves, yeah. well, we will see. we will find out other cases. >> i would like to investigate them. i will pay for it. >> laura: i'm sorry, we are out of time. i'm sorry we could continue this all night. speaking of travesties by the way how does the busiest

>> laura: two failures, one embarrassing, one tragic. the first at atlanta's hartfield jackson airport the busiest in the world which was completely shut down for 11 hours by a power outage. and then this morning, tragedy struck at the washington state amtrak train derailed plunging off a bridge on to interstate 5, killing at least three people, injuring more than 100. investigators are still looking for the exact cause with attention on the train's high rate of peed as a candidate president trump warned about the country's infrastructure and that it was crumbling. >> one thing to have 20 trillion in debt and our roads are good and bridges are good and everything is in great shape and our airports -- our airports are like from a third world country. >> let me begin by expressing our deepest sympathies and heart felt prayers for the victims of the train derailment in washington state it is all the more reason why we must

start immediately fixing the infrastructure of the united states joining us now with reaction from lubbock, texas, mcgehee. former deputy assistant secretary of education. it's great to see you, sir. the president commented about infrastructure involving the amtrak derailment. that was alternate route for that train, is it not? might not be an structure issue on that particular accident? >> well, thank you for having me, laura. it probably is, because this was about positive train control. and usually that new tech nothing take as few months to get in new inaugural ride for high speed rail system. it's really designed, laura, to look ahead in the communication channels, to give communication back to the cockpit of what in the

radialway road. this train accident technical speculation is indicating that possibly the train ran into something. and that's what caused the tumbling cars. also, there was speed involved so we have a lot of momentum involved in here which tossed the cars off the elm bankment and then most importantly this was going into historic bridge. and had very little embankment control for having the cars to tumble off. >> laura: there is the infrastructure. trump is right again. that's the case. question trump and maybe he is right again, oliver. so, oliver, you have the en embankment issue with the bridge. have you the speed control technology that could have been in the train talking on my radio show today producers how could there not be with all of our technology something in that train that would appreciate it from going at a certain speed at a certain point. we can hit home plate yankee stadium out of space but we

can't slow a train down remotely? that seems crazy? why would you let the train go if you had that technology? to me, that makes no sense but what do i know? i'm not an expert on trains. you are the transportation guy. >> well, really, this is going to be about transportation infrastructure bill of president trump and is he going to be really looking at transportation science and technology. and 7 challenges. it's going to be wireless tech. we have to have wireless communications and i was saying to harris faulkner this morning on outnumbered that we probably need to look at the black box and the cloud looking at trains, planes and automobile and finding out where they are across the nation. >> laura: i have to go. i got to get your thought very quickly on atlanta heartfield because that was a travesty. the fact that people could be hovering over their cell phone lights trying to figure out oh my gosh how am

i going to get home to grandma for christmas. and busiest time of year. among the busiest time of year for hours and hours and hours. i mean, talk about a vulnerable infrastructure if that could be the case. real quick. >> absolutely. i was talking to my very good friendlessly today. and she was saying that she had a friend that was stuck in the airport for hours and watching people being taken out in wheelchairs because they were going through dark tunnels. can you imagine being caught in the sky for 15 hours and running out of water? good things the kids were behaving on the airplane. what we learned today we need to start retrofitting the nation's airports and backup systems on here. air traffic control went down. backup airports like we back up hospitals. can you imagine a hospital having blackout inside hospital. >> laura: talkepresident trump talked about this on campaign trail and he made a priority and he was right. guys, we have to take a
