of law it will be cities calling themselves sanctuary cities because the only people they will be sanctuary to our people who are criminals more than one time, people who have been arrested for times when they are already illegally here. not immigrants, illegal immigrants. and also remember the illegal immigrants may be thinking they want sanctuary or legal immigrants, these are neighborhoods that are the most mystified by those who are not accountable and given sanctuary instead. heather: we talked about that in terms of ms 13 targeting the immigrant community. thank you for joining us. appreciate it. 20 minutes until the top of the hour, and an innocent driver hit head on, the chase doesn't end

the inauguration, firings of michael flynn and fbi director james comey and appointment of robert mueller as special counsel. this was a significant time period when these text messages, other fbi agents text messages as well, we learned, disappeared. what about the timing. is that questionable to you? >> that is a very crucial period of time and it is important they try not only to recover these text messages but also determine the answer to the question, was this a technical glitch or was this intentional? we don't know the answer to that. i will tell you something else. what they are talking about his recovery of the text messages from the official fbi owned cell phones individuals were using. i haven't heard anything about whether doj is recovering the text messages from their personal cell phones.

we have already seen text messages where they talk about going off the fbi grid, apparently personal apple devices. heather: there are no safeguards that fbi agents are using cell phones like you and i would use, exchanging these messages back and forth about information the rest of us should not be privy to or be able in any way to have access to. >> fbi agents know they are not supposed to for example use their personal cell phones and personal computers and email to talk about official government is this. when they are doing that they are violating the rules. fbi agents know that, so does the doj. heather: one of the text messages between lisa page and

peter strzok about the loretta lynch tarmac meeting in july where strzok says timing looks like hell, page says yeah that is awful timing and page says it is a real profile encourage that she knows no charges will be brought. that is pretty significant wording. >> loretta lynch said she was recused from the whole matter, keeping herself out of it. lisa page is not just and fbi agents, she is one of the lawyers at the fbi, one of the people dealing with justice department lawyers about it too, this raises questions about loretta lynch and her claims about not knowing anything. heather: we should point out the fbi saying they didn't have these text messages and lose them, they never had the text messages to begin with, that is what they were saying. >> i have a hard time believing

that, part of the archiving system all federal government agencies have is they are supposed to back up everything. it is hard for me to believe for five months they didn't realize they weren't backing up text messages from their official devices the agents are issued. heather: hopefully they will find the backup, have a great day. we will be right back. records... ...you could learn you're from ireland... ...donegal, ireland... ...and your ancestor was a fisherman. with blue eyes. just like you. begin your journey at ancestry.com
