easy thing these days. good night from washington. sean hannity is next live from new york. all right, sean. >> sean: busy news night tonight. welcome to hannity. we do have major breaking news hillary clinton is under investigation. the daily beast reporting that the department of justice has now reopened the investigation into clinton's email server. and john solomon also reporting tonight the fbi is now opening a brand new investigation on the clinton foundation, specifically the fbi is seeking to determine whether or not any pay for play occurred while hillary clinton was serving as yourselves. this is massive breaking news. we'll have more with john solomon and sarah carter exclusively. also tonight, your economy is booming, setting records by the day. but your mainstream media has a sick, twisted obsession with just hating the president. they don't bother telling you. these hapless sick fants in the media try to manufacture crisis after crisis and outdo each other as i told you last night it is despicable and why journalism in america is

dead. tonight a hannity history lesson about your media. you're going to want to record this and show your friends. we'll cover all of this and tonight's breaking news opening monologue. ♪ ♪ we start tonight with a massive stunning development that should have hillary clinton very worried tonight. the daily beast reporting the contempt of justice has in fact reopened the investigation into clinton's server scandal. now, according to that report, investigators are now gathering information about how clinton and her top aides handled classified information including questions about how much classified information passed through her unsecure server. who put the information onto the server? which investigators knew about all of this and when did they know about this? also breaking tonight, john solomon who will join us from the hill reporting that the fbi is also open to brand new investigation as it relates to the clinton foundation and they are trying to determine whether or not any pay for play occurred while hillary clinton was serving as

secretary of state. we have been saying and i have been saying on this program 2018 will be the year that all of these scandals boomerang back on the left, the media, the democratic party and tonight it's all beginning to unfold. for example, take tonight's new information about the clinton server scandal and couple that with the doj now looking into the uranium one scandal and we are also looking that the doj will give house investigators access to all of the documents and all of the witnesses in the russia investigation and the dossier investigation. now, all this means, all this information about the clinton, bought and paid for russian propaganda, that fake news salacious dossier, russian dossier will finally now see the light of day. you have got to buckle up. it's going to get very interesting. also tonight, we will get back to that in a minute. look, if you don't work or live inside the mainstream media and their giant, well, incestuous almost like bubble, well then you might have seen that the economy

under president trump is on an absolute tear, this is good news for forgotten men and women in this country. look at these numbers dow jones soared to 25,000 highest number ever. job market continues to obama. adp reporting 250,000 new jobs created in december alone which is the most in nine months for that survey. and take a look at this headline. job cut announcements in 2017 see the lowest level since 1990, challenger report says. and here is another headline. manufacturing in the u.s. just accelerated to its best year since 2004. and earlier today, the president is moving to now open up offshore drilling, that's right, off the coast, both coasts and in the gulf, which is vital to america becoming energy independent. the life blood of our economy. and that's just only some of the good news from this week alone. unemployment, a 17-year low. 4.1%. under president trump, before the 250,000 jobs,

1.7 million jobs were created. that's now 2 million jobs. african-american unemployment in america is now at a 17-year low. food stamp use is at 7-year low. 2 million fewer people using food stamps now under president trump in one year. home prices are up 6%. the trump administration has now taken a chainsaw to burdensome regulation from our government and for every new one they created, in terms of regulation, 16 have been slashed and cut away. there is g.d.p. so far we have seen two quarters of over 3% growth. and, remember, barack obama, the only president in the history of this country to never reach 3% g.d.p. growth for an entire year. now, here's what the media will never tell you. well, there is a night and day difference between the economy just a year ago and now under donald trump for one year. under obama's economy i will remind you it was god-awful. lowest participation rated

since the 1970s, 95 million americans out of the labor force. the worst economic recovery since the 1940s, the lowest home ownership rate in 51 years. 13 million more americans on food stamps. 8 million more on poverty. 43 million total living in poverty under obama in just one year the economy is now turning around and that's before the 1.5 trillion-dollar historic tax cut even had a chance to take effect. all good news for us. liberals, the media, they said oh, the tax cuts are going to be terrible for the economy. it's only going to benefit corporations. by the way, corporations don't pay taxes. turns out to be a big fat lie. they pass the cost on to us. companies like, look, bank of america, wells fargo, u.s. bank, southwest airlines and others, american airlines, fifth third bank, even comcast, the parent company of conspiracy tv msnbc wow, because of the tax cut they have given their employees $1,000 bonuses and pay raises. other companies have said

they will invest now billions back into the u.s. economy. build factories and manufacturing centers and hire new employees, not to mention you, the american people, will soon start to see money in your paychecks where it belongs. it's all because of what, this tax bill that the media said was god-awful. it just shows you how clueless and how the media lies to you daily and frankly how much they hate president trump. they have this trump-hating obsession which i told you about last night, which means that they will do and say anything to try and hurt him on a daily basis. let me tell you how it works. because i told you all about cnn, he actually called them a demented liar and then conspiracy tv, nbc as to say no, that's not enough. he is not only demented is he deranged and a pathological liar and they talk to each other. what we have now is a media so corrupt they are all a bunch of sheep. they are brain-dead. they are hypnotized and like watching a horror movie

unfold before our eyes. remember, only days ago the media wanted to you believe we were on the verge of nuclear war with north korea. why is that? because unlike his predecessors, president trump refused to be an appeaser and capitulate to the threats of kim jong un and north korea. watch the media's hysterical coverage as they lie to you. >> the president essentially daring the leader of nuclear armed north korea tonight to prove that his button works. this is our world now. >> 16 tweets today to start the new year. some of them deeply disturbing. >> these are the messages from a person who is not well from. a leader who is not fit for office. >> trump needs to be medicated and hospitalized. [laughter] at this point or he is going to just kill all of us. >> his recent tweet about north korea and the nuclear button the size of the nuclear button that has raised alarm bells not just from democrats but from republicans as well.

>> sean: that frenzy displayed was two days ago from the media. sarah sanders slapped down the press for attacking the president. good for her. let's watch this. >> should americans be concerned about the president's mental fitness that he appears to be speaking so lightly about threats regarding nuclear buttons? >> i think the president and the people of this country should be concerned about the mental fitness of the leader of north korea. he has made repeated threats. he has tested missiles time and time again for years. and this is a president who is not going to cower down and not going to be weak and is going to make sure that he does what he has promised to do and that's stand up and protect the american people. >> sean: understand, 48 hours ago your media was losing their minds and predicting oh, potential nuclear fallout. that was, of course, until steve bannon's comments about the president surfaced. then the narrative magically shifts away and changes and the world is going to end at any minute and then they find a new best friend. that's right, oh, let's see,

a guy they have hated forever. they have uncontrollable glee that steve bannon, a guy that they hate, said something about the president. it just shows you how pathetic all of these people are. now, look at how breathlessly they are covering the bannon story. did they ever tell you a single thing about the he economy? that's good? anything that trump has done good? if the dog bites the bestipulation if you are feeling sad in the media's world it's all donald trump's fault. watch this. >> new revelations from a soon to be published book are rocking the trump administration tonight portraying president donald trump as a volatile and uncontrollable force within the white house. >> president trump issued a statement like no presidential statement ever before in american history lambasting his former campaign and white house senior strategist steve bannon in no uncertain terms. >> now it seems bannon has turned on his old boss. bannon on the record saying

things implicating him in the russia probe and it suggests trump's oldest son and son-in-law committed treason. >> you have steve bannon the guy that they all would have had their arms around and had their thumbs up taking picture twos days ago now steve bannon is talking about treason. >> and that bombshell book rocking the white house, michael wolff's fire and fury inside the trump's white house features blistering attacks on steve bannon. early days in the white house it has drawn a furious response from president trump. >> sean: this is how bad it is. look at the graphic from cnn, fake news jake at that point per and what he used earlier today to talk about the new michael wolff book. mental fitness? really? now in a way i feel sorry for fake news jake. he has to take his marching orders from his trump-hating soon to be scandaled plagued boss matt sucker who i zucker wt friends with matt lauer.

they will drag this out as long as possible until the next crisis they create comes along. if it's nuclear war coming two days later they will forget about it. here is the thing when it comes to the media in this country. biased abusive attacks against this president are unprecedented. buff you know what? in a way they have always shown their liberal bias. the media has been an extension of the democratic party for decades. here's the proof. they have a long history of breathless, hysterical reporting but only when conservatives or republicans are occupying the white house. the media has also bent over backwards to praise the presidents they so love adore and worship like bill clinton and barack obama. people that appease murdering dictators and despots. now, let's start with president ronald reagan. this is where our history lesson begins tonight back in 1984. you might remember it was a microphone check. he was doing a weekly radio address oh, he is going to destroy russia with newarks. he was joking, keep in mind

this was never in the actual real speech. listen to this. >> my fellow americans, i'm pleased to tell you today that i have signed legislation that will outlaw russia forever. we begin bombing in five minutes. [laughter] >> sean: of course the audio was released. the media tried to make it into a huge massive international crisis even though it was a joke. take a look, back then, how nbc news reacted. >> it was the joke heard around the world, the one by president reagan about bombing the soviet union and it resulted in a soviet red alert and it became a campaign issue in this country. >> by august 14th the story became world news, a major item on moscow television where the joke was not treated as a laughing matter. sean sean look at this headline from the "new york times" reagan's gas gaffe and it only gets worse from there. the media couldn't stand the fact ronald reagan ended up by being strong, defeating the soviet union and he didn't fire a single shot. and that started when ronald

reagan called the communist regime what it really was an evil empire. take a look. >> they preach the supremacy of the state, declare it okay nip sense over man and predict documentation of all people on the work. they are the focus of evil in the modern world. so in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, i urge you to beware of the temptation of ride, the temptation of lively declaring yourselves above it all and label sides equally have called to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire to call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle from right and wrong and good and evil. sean sean he didn't give them billions of dollars. president reagan was confronting evil in his time. but then it was way too much for the media, the liberal media to handle since they prefer the policies of let's see bowing and kissing rings

and appeasement. here's a quote from the "new york times" describing reagan's speech, quote: in the long run, however, the greater danger lies in mr. reagan's vision of the super power relationship as good versus evil and as near proclamation of holy war against evil elm pair. turns out the so-called paper of record, just like the rest of the liberal media was completely wrong. if media followed the advice the soviet union might still be standing. next george w. bush he labeled rightly so iran, iraq, and north korea the the axis of evil. you may remember. this north korea is a arming weapons of mass destruction while starving its citizens. iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror while an unelected few repress the iranian people's hope for freedom. iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward america and to support terror. the iraqi regime has plotted

to develop anthrax and nerve gas and nuclear weapons for over a decade. states like these and their terrorists allies constitute an axis of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world. >> sean: how do you describe in the last century over 100 million human souls destroyed. is that not evil? here are some of the headlines after george w. bush's speech immediately thereafter. response to terror has bush overstated north korean threat question mark? allies hear sorrow note and access of evil chorus and even later the media is still attacking bush's speech. take a look at these examples from the media research center. >> up until that moment, iran was cooperating with the united states on the border of afghanistan. it was post 9/11. iran was more or less an american ally by being included in the axis of evil, it turned the iranian

government in a completely different direction. it was a turning point in american politics and in foreign policy. >> when kim's father kim seung heard u.s. would use nuclear weapons in his country delay spirit was reinforced 50 years later when the u.s. labeled north korea axles of evil with iran and iraq. kim jong un always felt he would be next after iraq. >> sean: the media eviscerated president bush but he was right. take a look at iran and north korea today. bush was able to see back then that they needed to be confronted head on and as for the media, well, they can't stand the kind of tough and direct acknowledgment that america does have enemies, that there is evil in our time. and apparently they would rather their presidents bending down and kissing the rings and bowing and kissing the feet of murdering dictators. let's go back to the early 1990s, bill clinton sucked up grabble ling to kim jong un's father kim jong il and

giving billions of energy subsidies allowing north korea to keep their nuclear fuel rods and then goes on tv and tells you this is a great deal for the american people. what a lie that was. take a look. >> this is a good deal for the united states. north korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. south korea and our other allies will be better protected. the entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons. south korea with support from japan and other nations will bear most of the cost of providing north korea with fuel to make up for the nuclear energy it is losing. and they will pay for an alternative power system for north korea that will allow them to produce electricity while making it much harder for them to produce nuclear weapons. the united states and international inspector also carefully monitor north korea to make sure it keeps its commitments. only as it does so, will north korea fully join the community of nations.

>> sean: today we know his bribery or attempted bribery of dictatorship failed. now, despite the obvious flaws back then with the deal with north korea, the media praised bill clinton's efforts. they loved him. watch this. >> the deal that could end the long-running crisis with north korea over nuclear weapons. it could also ease tensions on the korean peninsula and open the way for normal relations between the u.s. and one of the world's last old line hard line communist states. >> beyond the details north korea seems to have made fundamental decision that the cold war is really over. >> crucial inspections are being delayed five years while the rest of the deal is implemented. american officials say the delay is a small price to pay for getting north korea to shutt down its entire nuclear program. >> sean: you would think the media would learn lessons of history but they didn't because they are all a bunch of brain dead sheep with an agenda. back in 2015 just like president clinton we had

president obama proudly announcing a nuclear deal $150 billion to the mullahs of iran threatening to blow us, wipe us off the face of the earth along with israel. watch this. >> today, after two years of negotiations, the united states, together with our international partners, has achieved something that decades of animosity has not. al comprehensive long-term deal with iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. this deal demonstrates that american diplomacy can bring about real and meaningful change. change that makes our country and the world safer and more secure. this deal is also in line with a tradition of american leadership. >> sean: total b.s., total stupidity. and what obama forgot to mention oh, he gave the radical mullahs that are saying and chanting death to america in iran he gave them 150 billion of your dollars. plane loads of cash and

other currencies. and tehran, they are still allowed to keep and spend their centrifuges which puts them on the path towards building a nuclear weapon once the deal runs out just like north korea. the media didn't care about any of this. they were quick to heap praise on obama, the peace-prize winner. >> the u.s. and world powers reaching a major agreement with iran blocking one of our biggest rivals from developing a nuclear weapon. >> the president is about to deliver a statement on this historic nuclear deal reached with iran overnight. this agreement is supposed to freeze that country's pursuit of a nuclear weapon. >> has the u.s. and its allies successfully blocked iran from making a nuclear bomb, at least for now? >> but tonight the united states could be entering a new era in its relationship with iran. >> i think it begins to change the dynamics of a tense relationship of 36 years between washington and tehran. i think the deal provides more than the united states anticipated and i think it

could help prevent an arms race in the region that would be detrimental to not just the middle east but to the whole world. >> sean: that's tonight's hannity history lesson it personifies your media in this country for who they are. they are afraid of strong leaders that dare to confront evil in our time. they are people that love capitulation and appeasement even though it fails every single time. if you really want to know how the media wants a president to behave on the world stage, then take a look at this picture. take a look, right there. oh, yeah. so what does our history lesson prove in the media has been and will continue to be mindless liberal left wing radical idealogues that no longer report the truth. they might only like president trump if he sucked up to, what, radical mullahs in iran and kissed kim jong un's ring and give them billions? guess what? that's not something this president will do. we have big breaking news

you studied law, i will have to tell you something as former federal employee intent is irrelevant when it comes to the handling of classified materials in federal law. you do not need to be giving that information to a foreign agent. if you simply misplace it, you have committed a felony. it's one of the few aspects of federal law where intent is irrelevant. and that woman had at least 1088 emails at the highest classification of the federal system on her private server. that's a felony, geraldo. >> this is the way i totally disagree with your legal analysis. but let me make it much more. >> it's a fact, geraldo. >> i make a much more important point. i care about the 45th president of the united states. i care about donald trump. i want his presidency to be a success. i fear that he is not touting his strength as sean alluded in the opening of this program. we have an economy now that is robust that is booming that is including everybody from the wealthy to the

person the urban person. >> so hillary gets a pass? >> sean: black unemployment seven-year low. >> i want to tout that success. i want to scream that from the rooftops that positive message is what the american people are yearning who hear not hillary clinton emails and equal justice. >> what do i care about hillary clinton? >> sean: equal justice under the law? sebastian? >> is the statue of lady justice blindfolded for a reason, geraldo? all americans should be equal before the law. whether whether your last name is rivera or whether your last name is clinton. this woman has committed felonies, it goes without saying. the fact that did. >it does not gowithout saying. can you not make a statement like that because you are a smart man. >> the director of the fbi said she had 108 classified emails on her private server. that's a felony, geraldo. >> and in the last 2, 3 years why hasn't there been any meaningful. >> the fix was in.

>> that's not the question. >> sean: hang on a second. >> do you want donald trump to be dragged back into that crap again. >> sean: it's not donald trump. he has no say in this. i ask you this, why would comey and struck, a trump hater, be writing, hang on, exoneration months before they ever even interviewed the main people involved? >> with dozens of hostile eyes on hillary clinton's private email server there has not been one scintilla of proof that any leak. >> sean: our own bret baier 99% certainty five foreign agencies had access to that next question. so you are telling me it's not obstruction of justice. if i have subpoenaed emails, 33,000 i delete, hang on, then i acid wash and bleach bit the hard drive and then just to make sure i take the blackberries and i smash them with a hammer. you are not telling me that's not intentional obstruction of justice? >> i am telling you that. >> sean: true or false. >> even as you recited that

a huge development tonight. john solomon joins us along with fox news contributor and investigative reporter sara carter. i have been saying, john, this is going to be the year of the boomerang. this is a massive development tell us what you have. >> this was expected. we sent a letter to congress saying we may revisit some of the issues that were closed under the prior obama administration. tonight we are seeing the first evidence of that is coming true. fbi agents in little rock interviewed a witness who had information about pay-to-play allegations against the foundation. and senior law enforcement officials told me multiple officials told me there is an ongoing active investigation. and i remember sarah being on this show months ago predicting that this was still open and something lurking out there that would come back and i think she turned out to be right. >> sean: sarah, let's go back to what you reported. i had my own confirmation november the 3rd. you had it before then that in fact the attorney general did not recuse himself as it relates to the uranium one

scandal. >> that's absolutely correct, sean. not only with the uranium one scandal but also what happened with the clinton foundation. we know that actual investigation was never thoroughly shut down. it never officially closed so this is very important. a lot of senior fbi agents not just in little rock but in florida and other places where they have been investigating the clinton foundation who are breathe ago breath of fresh air right now and are really taking heart what's going on in little rock. i'm sure there is going to be a lot more information coming out in the next few months. >> sean: is it going to be that long or how long do we think this has been going on? john, whoever may know? >> it's been going on for quite a while for years, actually. i think what happened was that it was stymied. you know, there were so many people insulating the clintons and insulating under the obama administration that these agents felt they couldn't move forward.

and some of them were actually threatened. >> sean: we have victoria toensing's client. >> correct. >> sean: he was able to infiltrate and discover that putin's network was involved in all sorts of crime. cfius went forward. kick backs, money laundering taken place. john, you are also reporting comey's original memo released nine separate versions? >> well, there were five separate instances in the original memo where he used the term gross negligence which is the felony standard for mishandling and all of those were edited out there. is something that goes to the spirited debate that had you with dr. gorka and mr. rivera. the -- in the original memo, comey wrote that there was pretty clear and convincing evidence that the -- excuse

me, realistic likelihood that her server really had been penetrated by a foreign powers but that got edited out, too. it's amazing what got edited out. if you read the original version and what was originally released it seems like two different documents. >> sean: you are saying comey believed that clinton's server in the mom and pop bathroom closet had been infiltrated with top secret special access program classified information and foreign agencies got ahold of it? >> he said that was reasonably likely that happened. that wasn't something we heard in the press conference. these edits are more substantive than we knew there is a lot of questions on capitol hill tonight about why would comey allow these things to happen? >> sean: why did he write the exoneration months before the investigation which is part of it. let's go to the daily beast. sarah, i will ask you, the department of justice also reopened now now we know that the exoneration which john is reporting about and the original copies are out, now they are reporting to department of justice also

has opened that investigation into the server again and i agree with dr. gorka. it's about the rule of law. what do you know? >> well, yeah, exactly. i think that's very important. it is about the rule of law. i think what we are seeing is numerous investigations. this was what was promised by the department of justice, remember months ago everybody was concerned. but they weren't talking about it publicly. i think now what we are seeing is a trickling out of all of these investigations, sean, which are going to be downgoing throughout the year. i want to go back to something john said. this is reason why intent was not important when you think of comey and intent and gross negligence and all these words and extremely careless, the fact that foreign agents, foreign states may have more than likely penetrated hillary clinton's email server is the reason why gross negligence is the law. because we don't want people getting our classified information, particularly foreign states, and that's why it is so extremely

important. the fact that she wasn't held to the same standards as christian and others is something that we have to answer. >> sean: christian sauce took the pictures. >> lost everything. lost all of his benefits and he admitted to it he lost it all. >> sean: i hope the president pardons him. okay. so, if the justice department is -- if we now are confirming all of this, john, and it's been going on a long period of time, they are not going to comment publicly on it, are they? >> they are not. >> only because of both of you and you both really deserve so much credit here because you have really been out on a limb and have you been proven right time after time while the rest of the media has ignored it. but if the justice department is doing this, and they had all that foundation, i got to believe it's coming soon, john. >> yeah, i think the thing

you have to watch for if this is going to get really serious we will see a grand jury impaneled. >> sean: we know if one already been impaneled already. >> no evidence yet. first stage of talking to witnesses. if we get to grand jury and panel on either case email or foundation you know there is serious business ahead. >> sean: last word, sara. >> i agree with john and i see that coming in the near future. >> sean: wow, thank you both for being with us. you guys have been phenomenal. we appreciate it we will keep our audience up to date. 2018, the year of the boomerang, stay with us. the media won't cover it we will. tomi lahren and jessica tarlov next. i was in shock. i am very proud of the development of drugs that can prevent the rejection and prevent the recurrence of the original disease. i never felt i was going to die. we know so much about transplantation. and we're living longer. you cannot help but be inspired by the opportunities that

♪ >> sean: more breaking news tonight. we are following multiple breaking stories including a bombshell report from the hill revealing that the fbi is opening a new investigation into the clinton foundation and also breaking the daily beast reporting the department of justice has taken a fresh look at hillary clinton's private email serve server scandal. and according to the report doj officials now are interested in finding out how much classified information was, in fact, sent over clinton's server who put that information in to an unclassified environment and how. they are also reporting they want to know which investigators knew about these matters and when did they know it? and in light of today's

report, former senior advisor to clinton, philippe reines wrote on twitter, quote: this is definitely a political persecution. really? here with reaction fox news contributors tomi lahren and jessica tarlov. happy new year to both of you. >> happy new year. >> sean: here it is, you have to admit james comey months before even investigating the email server scandal, writing the exoneration and he had a special category for hillary. it wasn't done by the field offices of the fbi. now that they're opening investigation into both of, this can you just admit you can't write an exoneration before the investigation? >> no, i can't admit that. >> sean: you can't admit that? >> according to several. >> sean: can you have the exoneration and do the investigation later. >> several said it was normal practice drafting what you saw the outcome would be. i completely take your argument. >> sean: you completely take

myer argument and dismiss it? >> it's not what i think about it and what a number of people who defended james comey's decision say about this either. >> sean: doing it with a guy that calls trump loathe some. >> that guy was a kasich supporter in the first place. that's who he wanted. >> sean: he is on texts with his girlfriend saying la la la la. >> he was also on text with girlfriend saying i like john kasich. >> sean: tomi, your thoughts. >> when will we hear from hillary. she likes to talk usually in anti-trump fashion. we have all of this coming out about hillary. i would like to see her. >> you are not having anything come out about hillary. these are reinvestigations settled. jeff sessions is scared of donald trump. he goes on twitter and he says lock her up again. he says my doj is supposed to be doing. this this is pressure not because. >> do you think it's important? hold on, do you think it's important that we investigate this?

does she do you think it's important that we investigate matters of national security? do you think that's an important step to be taken? >> 100 percent. that's why we did it already. >> sean: excuse me, all already. >> and egyptair jared kushner's private use of email how do you feel about that. >> private email? private servener someone's 3w5eu6789 when the secretary of state jessica? >> sean: we know in the clinton case top secret classified special access program information it was all there. and that foreign agent it was in the comey draft had likely gotten it. >> had likely gotten it. not confirmed. >> sean: she put it in a mom and pop shop bathroom closet. >> i haven't heard a lot about the bathroom. the bathroom seems inviable. >> sean: inviable. >> that was a new little new year's humor. you don't get my jokes this year. >> sean: apparently not. >> everyone knows the server was a mistake.

what do you want from this? >> sean: no. mishandling of classified information destroying classified information is a felony. when you bleach bit it and acid wash it and bust up the hammers and delete it that's called obstruction. >> james comey just did this because he wanted hillary clinton to win. >> exactly. >> what about the letter that came out right before the elections that we all agreed i know judge pierre was certainly saying that. >> sean: he had no choice tomi at that point there was no choice. >> to bring up something that was completely irrelevant in the investigation? >> despite all of this, despite all the people that wanted to see hillary win, i'm excited because the american people were too smart for it. so i put that a win in our column. yes, we are still going to talk about it because it's a matter of national security. i want to see hillary come out and fess up. >> you don't want to see her come out anymore. every week you say you are done seeing her. she spoke about this. it was a mistake.

i jared kushner and other officials using private email. >> sean: don't fall into her diversion. >> sean: here is what i want to know. america doesn't have enough uranium. it's the foingsal material for nuclear weapons. now, why would we ever. why would hillary, eric holder, why would knowing robert mueller knew that putin wanted to get a foot hold in the uranium industry in america. and he had his thugs in this country bribing e extorting money laundering, racketeering the whole bit and kick backs. why would america -- why would anybody ever sign off on giving a foreign entity control of yoorm when we don't have enough uranium. on the surface does that make any sense to you. >> it doesn't if that's what happened. >> sean: that's what happened. >> we didn't transfer uranium out of the country. >> sean: exkey me, wrong. it went to europe and we believe it went to asia. >> we believe it went there.

>> sean: we know it went to canada. >> it went to allies because i believe europe and canada are our allies. you are saying it went into putin's pocket. that's another thing. >> sean: we have a shortage of uranium. >> we are resource scarce? hillary clinton didn't sign off on that. >> sean: she did sign off on it that's a lie. >> at the state department. she did not. >> sean: pass the buck. >> we know it there are so many smoking elements here and the democrats continue to play it off we don't know, we don't know. you know nothing about this whole apparent russia collusion either you still bring it up every sentence. we know hillary clintoned 33,000 emails and know about uranium one. you are still going to go back and talk about jared kushner which is a whole lot of nothing burger. >> why do you get to decide this isn't. we haven't had a thorough investigation. you probably want a second special counsel to look into the email probe. >> it sure doesn't look innocent to me. >> i'm sorry i was yelling. >> incriminating emails, whoopsies.

>> incriminating email? >> why would someone, as sean mentioned, why would someone delete 33,000 emails and bleach bit a server, a private server they had a basement? >> sean: subpoenaed. >> why would they do that if there was nothing suspect. >> she says they were her private emails. i probably there is more in there about yoga. >> sean: yoga, a funeral and wedding. 33,000? really you buy that? >> i send a lot of emails personally. >> sean: bill doesn't have an account. >> bill clinton doesn't personally email but his staff. >> sean: she says bill. >> she must know her own husband doesn't send emails. >> sean: she was asked did you wipe the server clean like with a cloth? >> it's not a funny joke. she is not a funny woman. it doesn't mean she is a criminal. >> sean: laws were broken. >> it absolutely does laws were broken and she is not funny. >> sean: hate hannity hotline and stephen colbert made me laugh. i will tell you wife straigh' ahead. stive issues.
