10:00 pm
the show that is a sworn enemy of line, come pomposity, smugness, and especially groupt. trying to tell the truth in ina worldll that demands lying. dvr it if you know how it works. more than anything, stay tuned for sean hannity. he's next. >> sean: tucker, thank you. welcome to "hannity." we have the most incredible developments tonight, it's complicated, we will break it all done for you, you've got to stay with us. sara carter breaking news tonight, andrew weissmann, the special counsel, to robert mueller's topal investigator, mt with reporters from the ap about paul manafort's case before joining the russia investigation. plus a big follow-up tonight on our exclusive reporting about how the clinton pot and paid for phony fake russian dossier was actually used to obtain fisa warrant to spy on then candidate and then president-elect donald trump and his campaign. this scandal is unprecedented in american history and we are only tonight scratching the surface. we'll explain. plus president trump is now
10:01 pm
reacting and raising new questions about the corrupt russia investigation. we have a deep dive on this dirty dossier you not see anywhere else. plus, 60 minutes correspondent lera logan is here with a preview of her exclusive reportn afghanistan. you must watch that. first, the opening monologue with a lot of breaking news. ♪ the evidence of corruption and bias inside special counsel muller's team, it just keeps piling up. it does get complicated, i promise, we'll go step-by-step, break it allco down for you tonight. breaking right now, sara carter, investigative reporter, now telling us that the top investigator, the guy we've been telling you about, andrew weissmann, he met with journalists from the ap last april to discuss the news outlets investigation into paul manafort. now the next day, the ap published a major expose about paul manafort and alleged money laundering. sources are telling sara carter
10:02 pm
that the ap reporters in that meeting, they were actually promising to share documents and other information about manafort with the department of justice. there is going to be a lot of news in coming weeks about the media and the role they are playing in all of us. tonight, the ap is denying it, saying it's categorically untrue. at the time of this conversatio conversation, weissmann was the head of the justice department's fraud division and would then go on a short time later to join mueller's team the following month.ea according to the report, weissmann notified superiors about the sit down with the ap and during that time, he was not working for the manafort case, and did not have access to documents related to it. this shows that weissmann had prejudice going into the investigation againstad paul manafort. that's on top of the troubling history. remember, weissmann led the highly controversial obstruction of justice case, remember, against arthur andersened accounting in the enron scandal. he destroyed that company. tens of thousands of people lost
10:03 pm
their job. that verdict was later overturned in a supreme court unanimous 9-0 ruling. weissmann also put four merrill lynch executives in jail for a year. those convictions are also overturned in that case by the fifth u.s. circuit court of appeals. this is why we have to question the decision of making robert mueller, why would he make these appointments of people like weissmann and only democratic donors, why, given his history, was he ever appointed? why would he feel the team with people that gave money to hillary clinton, the dnc, and barack obama? also, a big follow-up tonight to the exclusive reporting last night on the clinton bought and paid for phony fake news russian propaganda dossier with all of that salacious material that we have confirmed has been used, was used by the obama administration to literally serve veil members of the trump
10:04 pm
campaign and of course then president, or president-elect donald trump and members of his team. wewe have been all over the stoy from the beginning and to give you an idea of how serious this is, a source is telling me this is going to all be proven right. to quote him, "hannity, you are way over the target at low altitude and everyone else in the destroy trump media will be proven so wrong on so many levels, you can't even imagine how bad this is going to get weighed" in addition to the phony dossier being used to spy on members of the trump campaig, sara carter's reporting, and we have confirmed this, that information about systemic fisa abuse will also be exposed soon, maybe as early as next week. surveilling the trump campaign isn't the only incident. it goes way beyond that. this is the real russia scandal the media has never reported on. it has nothing to do with with a fake news media has been spoon feeding the entire country for
10:05 pm
the past year about trump-russia collusion. it doesn't exist. there is no evidence. even top democrats have been telling us, but nobody listens, and they still keep reporting it anyway. unimaginable. take a look. >> the allegation of course is that the russians and the hacking and dumping of documents in the election had essentially relationships with trump campaign people. butpsps i'm not prepared to sayt there is proof you could take to a jury. >> do you agree with the conclusion of the president has reached that there is no evidence of conclusion? >> we haven't seen that whatsoever, george. we've been looking at selling everything that they possibly have. that has not led to that. >> the last time we spoke, senator, i ask you if you had seen evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and the russians and you said to me, i'm quoting you, you said, not at this time. it has anything changed since we spoke last? >> well, no, it hasn't. >> just to be clear, there has
10:06 pm
been no actual evidence yet? >> no, it has not been. >> sean: no, not yet. the real collusion involves hillary clinton in the dnc spelling millions of dollars trying to influence an electiony funding this dossier that the obama administration used just by on an opposition party in a presidential election year. president trump himself reacting to all of this by tweeting... by the way, it's only getting bigger. the president raises some very constitutional questions here. there is so much about this dossier that we still don't know about. here's what we do now. we will break this down and
10:07 pm
dissect this entire scandal so that everybody understands it, even fake news cnn, they may understand how serious this really is. let's go back to october, 2015. the "washington free beacon" paid fusion gps to do standard political oppo research on candidate donald trump. it had nothing to do with russian sources, christopher steele was not involved at all.v the mi6 agent. then in april of last year, when it was clear that trump would be the republican nominee, back in 2016, hillary clinton in the dmz, that donna brazile said control, took over the funding . all told, they would pay fusion gps over $10 million through a law firm. by the way, the dnc, hillary's campaign, they used the same law firm. the former british spy, christopher steele, at that point, when the democrats are paying him, hillary is paying him, he gets involved in june of that year. keep in mind, according to
10:08 pm
"vanity fair," steele has paid russian sources over the years as part of his "job." during the summer, steele quickly goes to work using current former russian government sources to produce what we t now know is the phony, fake news dossier that included the salacious and completely false information, including donald trump in russia at the ritz-carlton, moscow, with hookers. wow. james comey, he even testified under oath that the contents of the dossier were unverified. that apparently did not stop steele from reportedly briefing news outlets like "the new york times," "the washington post," yahoo! news, the new yorker, and fake news cnn all about the dossier. that means steele was trying to influence an election with a dossier that clinton paid for. clinton wanted this. fast forward, november 2018, according to reporter david
10:09 pm
kramer, john mccain, he meets with w steele. steele agrees to give him a copv in copy of the dossier. in early 2016, mccain gives the dossier to the fbi director, james comey. see how it's all tying together? inin january of last year, buzzfeed decided to publish this fake news document that president trump's personal attorney, michael cohen, is suing over for defamation. here is where it gets shocking. according to reports, during the summer of 2016, former trump campaign associate carter page spied on, they used this b12 warrant, and we found out from other reporting that former trun paul manafort, he was surveilled before and after the election and thanks to sara carter and john solomon and others, we have confirmed tonight this new information through three separate sources. we started it last night. the clinton funded, unverified dossier with the salacious
10:10 pm
material and russia propaganda, that was used as a justification to obtain the fisa lawrence, to spy on members of the trump campaign and then the president-elect.s we are learning more about the dossier from the very guy who helped create it because senator dianne feinstein released his congressional testimony. now her excuse for doing it is pretty lame, pretty unbelievable. she told nbc news today that the reason that she released the information and the exchange with congress is because, well, she had a bad cold. and the dog ate my homework. and not slow down her mental abilities. wow, really? what feinstein did is a major breach of trust with senate investigators but it provided some very revealing information. glenn simpson of fusion gps, all right, during the testimony, he said he never even bothered to verify -- water? not even bother to verify?
10:11 pm
what steele brought him from his russian sources and he was against donald trump during the election, shocking. we also know that simpson met with the russian lawyer both before and after the meeting at trump tower. the one with don jr. and manafort and jared kushner, we are really supposed to believe that it's a mere coincidence that he's meeting with the russians as he testified to? simpson also met with former top doj official, remember, bruce ohr. his wife actually work for fusion gps. i know this is a lot of information. let me explain what this means. clinton bought and paid for those phony dossier. this lie, this propaganda. she was hoping there russian propaganda and lies would influence the general election.
10:12 pm
the obama administration then politicized, and as i have been warning about, weaponize to these powerful tools that we give our intelligence community and they use them to go after an opposition party and a presidential election year. so we have clinton putting the fix in. bernie sanders, we learned, donna brazile, the fix was in and the primary. it was a done deal. bernie had no shot. the fix was also -- think about this -- with the exoneration before the investigation in her email server scandal. remember, it was comey in peter strzok writing the letter of exoneration before they investigated. she was trying to use the dossier to fix the general election. what is being exposed are massive abuses of our constitutional and civil liberties. our fourth amendment rights and protections against unreasonable search and seizure. this is now reaching a point that you can't even imagine.
10:13 pm
top officials at the highest levels of your government, they are all involved. they will be exposed. we have so much more in all of this. joining us now with reaction, the author of the number one "new york times" best seller, "clinton cash," peter schweizer, fox news contributor sara carter and fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. i want to get into the weissmann thing first and then i want to go back to yesterday's news, if possible. it lets start start with weiss. >> what we have is two different stories. one of the stories coming from sources is that andrew weissmanc was contacted by the ap, the ap wanted to meet with him, and they want to have this meeting at the doj on april 11th and at this meeting they were apparently going to share documents and information with weissmann on the other attendees at the meeting. just before coming on the show, i spoke with a source familiar
10:14 pm
with this issue -- remember, the ap is categorically denying the claim that they were going to share any information with weissmann whatsoever. i gotre a call just before comig on your show with a source familiar with that meeting that said that they were five ap reporters attending that meeting, the reporters did not bring anything and with anev whatsoever, no documents, they shared nothing. in fact, the source said there was a telephone call placed by one of the ap reporters on aprin saying we are not going to share any documentation, we are not going to give you anything that we have on paul manafort. >> sean: isn't he compromised? isn't he prejudiced? >> this is the question. why would he lie about this? if this is the story coming from weissmann's side, why? according to the sources i have spoken with, there was a problem. he hadad set up this meeting without the appropriate procedures in place, he didn't
10:15 pm
call the people that he needed to call, coming to this meeting, so there's a lot of concern here. >> sean: if i am paul manafort's attorneys, and this is all unraveling like this -- >> you file a motion to dismiss, which forces the judge to haul weissmann in front of the judge and say, account for yourself what happened what happened. >> sean: why didn't he recuse himself? >> he should have, he should have been fired. i'm looking at the department of justice regulations. doj will not comment about an ongoing investigation. if you do, you're fired. if he gives information or collects information, either way from these reporters, he should be fired. i got off the phone, or communicated via email with a former doj official, who was there for more than ten years, he said absolutely, manafort's lawyers should now file a motion to dismiss. >> sean: with 4% in d.c.
10:16 pm
voting for trump, they need a change of venue, if we have any fairness in our criminal justice system. i'm sorry. paul manafort cannot get a fair trial in that area. do you agree? >> in fact manafort's lawyers have already filed a lawsuit. >> sean: we have so many moving parts here. peter schweizer, let me get to you.u. hillary fixes bernie, the fix is in with comey and strzok, exoneration before investigation, she pays for the dossier, she tries to use russian lies to influence the general election, and then, that same dossier is used to get fisa warrants against the candidate and the president-elect. it's based on faulty propaganda lies that she paid for. you cannot make this up in the worst spy novel or most imaginative spy novel i could ever think of! >> sean, this has got to go down as one of the great, if not the greatest dirty trick in american
10:17 pm
political history. look at what they accomplished with this or try to accomplish with this. for this investment with fusion gps, they wanted to try to influence the media, which stated, there were all these stories coming out about the fbi looking around and trumps russian ties in this area of collusion. did you also basically got the fbi to take an unsourced document -- keep this in mind, this is very important -- fusion gps and glenn simpson's testimony, he says we do open source research, that is what w. there was no open source research in the dossier and that is why glenn simpson didn't confirm it because he knew that there was nothing to it. >> sean: auntie had an agenda. like strzokea and paige had an agenda, like comey had an agenda, and like so many others. sarah sara, you broke the storyh john solomon about warrants at trump tower before anyone come i
10:18 pm
think it was in march? right here on this program. now that we know that the dossier was used, i'm getting conflicting reports. it was used in some capacity, and it was used in a significant way to get the warrants. >> i think this is why we really need to have this investigation be made public before the american people. the house intelligence committee is looking into the dossier, the senate judiciary committee is looking at this. we need those answers. i have been told the same. it played partial role in getting those warrants. he played a significant role in getting us warrants. what we need to know is the truth. >> sean: significant is what i keep hearing. >> sean: what role did it play? >> if it was not verified, i agree with peter. this dossier -- >> sean: did they knowingly lie to a court? did they knowingly give lies to obtain warrants against a political opponent because that
10:19 pm
makes watergate basically look like kindergarten compared to this. >> if they did, yes, it would make it look like kindergarten compared to it. what we need to know is what our inmost fbi witness files. >> sean: for release it! i want to see it! the public deserves to see it! gregg. >> it's a fraud on the court to obtain a warrant with a fraudulent document. you know what, the doj and the fbi knew it was false because you havee to look at the dossie, it's based on double, triple, quadruple hearsay, no direct evidence --o >> sean: it's not papadopoulos? >> it comes from sources that are well known within the kremlin to lie and provide this information. so doj and fbi knew it was fake. they nevertheless used it as a pretext to try to destroy trump, to launch the investigation, to spy on him after they had
10:20 pm
already cleared hillary clinton, even though they knew she had violated the law. >> sean: more on this breaking news. thank you, all for you to lara logan of "60 minutes" joints is next. up next, you will never guess which trump heaters haters crie mainstream media for being too anti-trump. stay with us. breaking news night.

>> yes, totally. >> we are over our skis and is going to hurt us. >> we've overstepped. we are over our skis. not we, the entire mainstream media, we are reflexively anti-trump. on all things. >> sean: maybe this is what joe and mika are referring to because that they are probably talking about themselves. they just are out of touch. take a look. >> one of the people closest to donald trump during the campaign says he has early-stage dementia, he repeats the same stories over and over, his father had it, it's getting worse, and no one knows that he has early signs of dementia. >> this is so unbalanced. he is not well. he looks like a thug, a goon, you look at thean handshake, lok at this. just what a thug. what an embarrassment. he is mauling him an idiot. >> they see no talent. they see absolutely nothing

10:27 pm
>> selective outrage in this case, sean, is fascinating to me. this is the same person might donald trump has been publicly for 40 years. this is how he speaks. he'sit inelegant. he is unfiltered. but what people like about him so much is that he's authentic, warts and all. even when he says things like this, i followed this on social media, i don't think one trump supported drums to the other side because of this comment. they come to expect these things. i don't agree with him, but this is who he is. >> sean: did liberal joe stumble on the truth for a second on katie couric's podcast podcast? >> oh, he sure did. sean, the press has been for decades anti-republican, vehemently anti-bush and triple vehemently anti-donald trump. let me give you four facts that he looked up tonight about the media. number one, columbia journalism review did a study of who gave money to the candidates in 2016.
10:28 pm
journalists gave $380,000 to hillary clinton, 16,000 to donald trump. 96% to hillary clinton. two, when george bush was president, "the new york times" took a poll of 153 journalists to ask who would make a better president. by 3:1, they said john kerry. by 12:1, reported from inside the beltway said john kerry over george bush. "the new york times" reporter linda green house, who covers the supreme court, she acknowledged she is a longtime donor to planned parenthood. finally, "atlantic" magazine did a story, 24 journalists, working journalists, not columnists, not editorial writers, journalists, left journalism to go into the obama administration. a very short stack of journalism into the obama administration. you'll be lucky if there is three, four, five reporters are going to the trump administration. bias is deep, it's been there for decades. >> sean: did liberal joe
10:29 pm
stumble on the truth? >> [laughs] it's probably morning joe is the most anti-trump show on television. that is saying something in this environment. lets to find anti-trump. are they criticizing policy? cabinet selection? >> sean: he had an expert the other day and i guess "the washington post" or where he was going to write some article, they wouldn't publish his source that said that the president was suffering early stages of dementia. >> he wanted to include in "the washington post" op-ed that he writes for the paper sometimess for the president has dementia. the problem for many in our media as they try to play doogie howser or dr. and "the washington post" in this case said no because they said, you can't make a specific medical diagnosis on a specific condition based on one unnamed source who isn't a doctor. good for them.na back to joe and mika, based on your montage, it's not based on policy, n the criticism, it's mn girls every day. a movie about high school girls.
10:30 pm
the differences that the hosts of "morning joe" are adults in their 50s. we need to raise the discourse in this country. >> sean: the adult part might be questionable.co let's go back to the comment, ari fleischer. the president, was he inarticulate and discussing merit-based immigration? >> what the president said it's hurtful. i wish he hadn't said that. it's just wrong. you don't talk like that as president. lyndon johnson talk like that all the time, may be other presidents have talked like that. the modern world, where things gets communicated, it hurts the relationships with natives, and it hurts the cause of getting agreement to build the wall and deal with the daca and get a comprehensive immigration reform. i regret that he said it. but i don't look at it from a political point of view, will it hurt him? i don't think it will. i do look at it as governing. when you are the president, you should be more mindful as the

inappropriate, they want our head on a chopping block, then begins the boycott, then begins the silencing. what is your reaction? >> we have to point out the hypocrisy, especially to individuals like chelsea handler, who continue to display this pattern. i got to tell you, i am so sick of these hollywood liberals who sit at their award shows it with their pearl clutching, talking about speaking your truth, and then they tweet stuff like this, that'ss disgusting and vile? yet, we are supposed to buy this whole charade that they are these wonderful, moral people. no, not falling for it. >> sean: let me show -- you actually debated her? i remember reading about it. let's remind people about what happened. >> i do believe that he is a good president. i do believe that he's done things. people talk about that he tweeted something and it's mean. i can get over the meanness of his tweets if he is helping middle-class americans, if he's putting america first. if he is enforcing our border.

i can deal with the mean tweet. >>t. but mean represents so many other things. he's kind of like a toddler, like an angry -- you know, he's a toddler. he lashes out at people and he's vengeful and he says really nasty things. >> sean: what is she saying? she's acting like a toddler. course she has. she is also the person that organized the women's march, the pink hat march, at sundance film festival last year. this woman, although i did have a decent conversation with her, since then, she's gone off the deep end. i don't know if it is because she lost her show at netflix, she wants to be an activist, i don't know but i thought she was at least at least somewhat levelheaded. i used to think she was funny but she's like the rest of these comedians. the inject politics that they don't understand, they know nothing about, into their act and not only are they not funny, they are disgusting, and yet they get away with it because they are on the left, as usual. >> sean: what did you think of
10:52 pm
her personally? >> personally, i had to be honest with you, she was very kind to me. she was respectful. h we had a good conversation. i can't say the same about other liberals that i've debated or shared the stage with what she was very nice to me. >> sean: who also viewed debated?n: i didn't know you weree doing that. >> oh, boy, trevor noah, bill maher, all the ladies of "the view." i was in west hollywood earlier today talking to a bunch of the loving and tolerant left. i put myself in these situations because p i hope for a productie conversation. i think i had one with chelsea but that doesn't mean i want to rip her apart because what you is doing on twitter. you need to be called out. >> sean: we look forward to the next tomi lahren hits the road. tomi, thanks for being with us. coming with us, we have your depraved hannity hotline calls. it's getting worse every day, and a shocking undercover video if you do not want to mess from jamess o'keefe.

>> sean: time for the video of the day. we bring your brand-new footage, pretty incredible firm of james o'keefe project veritas, undercover investigation into whether or not twitter is targeting conservative users. today's clip shows conversations with two twitter engineers who explain the ability to shadow ban userss on how algorithms may have been used to disproportionately target conservatives. and republican accounts. at fox news, we don't and apparently verify the footage. you see it yourself, you decide. >> i one strategy, the idea of a shadow ban is that you ban somebody but they don't know they've been banned because they keep posting, but no one

>> sean: i think they are all nine individuals. twitterg gave us a statement, "the individuals depicted in this video were speaking in a personal capacity, they do not represent or speak for twitter. the spokesperson went on to
10:59 pm
write that twitter did not shadow ban users but does, in some cases, limit tweet visibility based on "the nature of the interaction and the quality of the content." who gets to decide? that's the whole point. we'll monitor the situation as things develop. it is time for the hannity hotline. let's hear -- i better not kill a kitten. what's on here tonight. take a look. >> sean: this is really boosted my self-esteem. i can't believe it. it doesn't matter. whatever you have to say, let it
