and twitter. "justice with judge jeanine" is next. and remember i'm waters and this is my world. -- i'm watters and this is my world. judge jeanine: breaking tonight, president trump takes to twitter in the wake of the fisa memo bombshell. i'm jeanine pirro. the president late this evening quoting the "wall street journal" on twitter saying the memo lays out how the fbi failed to inform the fisa court that the clinton campaign funded the dossier. the fbi became a tool after anti-trump political actors unacceptable in a democracy. the president goes on to say the fbi wasn't straight with congress.

we have quite a show for you tonight. i'll be talking to a spokesperson for the president of the united states in a moment. i have one important question for him. but first my opening statement. he was right from the beginning. they were spying on him. they were wiretapping, they were listening in on trump tower. they were so desperate that he not be elected that they misled the most of secret court of the united states in order to spy on an opposing political campaign in order to undermine a presidential election. members of the highest echelon in our fbi and department of justice conspired to prevent an outsider from breaking the establishment stranglehold on the american people.

they needed a reason to spy, so they made one up. they used the dossier of lies paid for by a major political party. the democrat national committee and a presidential candidate, hillary clinton. they swore to facts they knew were lies in order to surveil a candidate they could not imagine being president. a cabal of arrogant, condescending employees of our government whose salaries that we pay thought that we didn't count. they so wanted hillary to become president that they violated all the rules and engaged in a charade so we would think there was a real investigation on the emails. they met on the tarmac. they gave people who didn't qualify immunity from prosecution without getting

incriminating' information. they changed legal definitions to satisfy their political goals. they thought she would be elected and no one would ever know. but she wasn't, so they plot an insurance policy to bring him down anyway. i often talked about the clintons coming on the scene from arkansas in their bell bottoms and pigs at the trough. but they outdid themselves this time. using a foundation in name only to spread the wealth while infect our departments of justice and the fbi. all the while, their comrades weaponnized our tools of intelligence. this is what they do in third world countries, not in america. it's time for holier than thou

jim comey for lady justice to take off her blindfold and see them for what they are. let me be clear. this is mean in the attack on the fbi or the department of justice because these agencies are bigger than a couple of tainted inhabitants. this is not about one party versus another. it's not even about spying on an american citizen. it's something more it's about an attempt to change the course of american history using the most powerful agencies in the united states government. how dare you! that's my open. tell me what you think on my facebook page, twitter and instagram.

#judgejeanine. congressman rob desantis has been at the forefront of having this released from the beginning. i guilt's everything you said it was going to be. the question is what happens next? >> there will be a number of things, chairman nun else said publicly -- chairman nunes said you will have another memo going through the same process including the state department and their role in this. the men he has raised problems for some of the individuals you mentioned, including former fbi director jim comey. he was not candid with the intelligence committee in terms of telling them the genesis of the dossier. i think they will bring him in and put him under oath. of course he leaked fbi

documents after he got fired. some of those documents may have had classified information so he may have expose our there as well. one of the things that needs to be drilled down on. a lot of people are focusing on the fisa. the role of bruce ohr who is one of the top justice department officials, and his wife is work for fusion gps. and there is a direct pipeline from the clinton campaign to the upper echelons of the fbi and justice department through bruce ohr. hillary is funding fusion, and fusion is sending their negative fake research on trump right to the obama justice department. that's really problematic. judge jeanine: but we knew this was a problem a year ago. who is going to investigate and prosecute? who is going to bring on a grand jury, issue subpoenas, and do everything they didn't do in the

hillary clinton case. rod rosenstein in no, he's close to comey and mueller. it was rod rosenstein who brought mueller over to tint view with the president for fbi director. >> rosenstein signed one of the fisa extensions. so he would be conflicted out of doing it. there will be a strong push in congress for a special counsel to look into the fisa abuse. i think it's got to be someone who is not a part of the swamp. judge jeanine: who is going to do it? >> you will have to get jeff sessions to make the appointment. jenna: do you think that's going to happen? he's in the middle of it, and he can't figure out his job as the chief prosecutor in the united

states is to look into it? >> six months ago you didn't have bruce ohr demoted or james baker demoted. judge jeanine: that's not what i'm talking about. judge jeanine: that's not good enough. you and i both know that's like changing a parking space. they need to be made criminally responsible. anyway, congressman desantis, i want to thank you. you started all this and i give you a lot of credit. good to talk to you. we just heard from the president on twitter about an hour ago. now we are joined live by one of his top spokespersons. the president tweeted today that he was totally vindicated as at result of this fisa memo. could this mean he's calling on

robert mueller to end the investigation? >> i wouldn't say called on robert mule tore end the investigation. but the president has been clear that this memo has raised some serious concerns about the integrity of the decisions made at the highest levels of the fbi and the doj. when they can take the most of inrulessist you are trailans methods and use them on american citizens and use them on a campaign document funded by hillary clinton is alarming. judge jeanine: it's millions leading the court. i used to sign warrants all the time. not a warrant at this level, a fisa court. but you get that afina affiant e

but and swear that it's the truth. >> it was a document that was omitted in the fisa warrant process. forget the fact that it was from the clintons in the first place. but they didn't even tell the judge that's where they got information from. that's a clear violation and obviously this memo goes to expose that process. i think all americans are deeply concerned at this moment. judge jeanine: with the fisa application and what we found out, everybody is talking about this. i want to know, who is the lawyer who accompanied the fbi agent to go before the fisa court? whether it's baker, comey, mccabe, rosenstein. all those guys. whoever that judge was, he needs to do or she needs to do whatever they have to do to get them on the red carpet because

they made a misrepresentation to the court, the highest most of secret court in the united states besides the supreme court. that's the person i'm waiting to hear from. they either took him or lied to him. >> it could quite possibly be the tip of the iceberg and i don't disagree with that. the congress is the investigative body here. it originated in congress. they are facing obstruction at every turn as they try to move through this process. but they are the ones that have the -- who originated this memo. this is opening up a big can of worms if you will in this town. judge jeanine: what about rod rosenstein. i saw the president's reaction when he was asked about him. why is rosenstein still there? does he have the confidence of

the president? >> i serve at the me sure of the president. as is rosenstein. if the president is displeased with you you will know it. but i will say this, there are no conversations about firing rod rosenstein at the white house. judge jeanine: former trump campaign manager david bossie. are you as fired up as i am? >> i am, judge. this is exactly what the president was talking about it was a rigged election back then and that's what the president knew then and that's what we found out to be a fact today. judge jeanine: when the president first came out and said they were wiretapping at trump tower. everybody mocked him and ridiculed him. obama comes out and he's so condescending and insulting. it's true. >> it's 100% true.

what the american people are just finding out and learning is that the fbi used a dirty dossier that has now been completely discredited to go to the fisa court to get a fisa judge issue this wiretap. it's an outrage. it should bother all americans, and i can't understand why the "new york times," "washington post" and others are so troubled with us wanting to press the federal government for the answers of why they were doing this. it is so dirty and corrupt. judge, you know this. you understand this better than most of. the men and women of the fbi, americans premiere law enforcement agency don't deserve this. that organization is made up of tremendous people who do a great job making america safe. >> you don't even have to say

that. we all know that. it's the people high pressure fectd it at the top. they get calls like i get calls from fbi agents who are disgusted and angry. this thing should have been hand inned a field office. instead it's hand at the upper echelon by a cabal on the 7th floor at the fbi. >> a few bad apples that besmirched this organization. that's what troubles me. we need to do a god job of cleaning this out so we can get on with the business of what the fbi is suppose to be doing. judge jeanine: some of the stuff they have been saying about the memo is like chicken little. if this memo was released, the sky is going to fall. we have grave concerns. this is from the fbi about

material omissions of fact. and nancy pelosi says donald trump has surrendered his constitutional responsibility as commander-in-chief by releasing the unredacted memo. it understood mines our national security and basically sails bouquet to his friend putin. >> she also said the tax cut would be armageddon. they hate this president more than they love america. that's the fundamental problem with the democratic party today. they see hatred through their eyes. it's all they see it's remarkable to me. they say the sky is falling and it doesn't. and the american people are catching on to it, and they will continue because they can't help themselves. look at what this president did at the state of the union. he made them look like the but

bufoons that they are. judge jeanine: next you haven't heard all the takes opening the nunes memo until you hear ann coulter's. don't change that channel. with expedia, one click gives you access to discounts on thousands of hotels, cars and things to do. like the royalton riviera cancun for 54% off. everything you need to go. expedia.

evythen you turn 40 andeo. everything goes. tell me about it. you know, it's made me think, i'm closer to my retirement days than i am my college days. hm. i'm thinking... will i have enough? should i change something? well, you're asking the right questions. i just want to know, am i gonna be okay? i know people who specialize in "am i going to be okay." i like that. you may need glasses though. yeah. schedule a complimentary goal planning session today with td ameritrade.

judge jeanine: we continue tonight with our big story, the release of this explosive memo. here with her take on it all, ann coulter. i want you to take a look at this. we have msnbc, rachel maddow. >> that's it? that's all they got. this is what all the hype was about? what is it two weeks they have been hyping this? i will admit to being shocked this was what they released. it was like a sad trombone. we only bring that out for very special occasions. judge jeanine: you have a memo that's been declassified. in the memo they say andrew

mccabe used a document he said he couldn't get a warrant without, and it was full of lies, and he didn't tell the court that the candidate paid for it. your take. >> we now know what complete liars the democrats and all of these hysterical alleged national security and law enforcement experts are, it's going to blow up any sort -- we'll have terrorist attacks. then the memo comes out, that's all it is. there were people who had seen the memo and knew what the information was. their argument is the fact that -- by the way, it makes me totally love and most of americans i think, love donald trump more it's washington, d.c. against the people. when you see the way high-level officials, not as everyone said the rank and file, but

high-level officials at the fbi were using documents funded by the hillary campaign. someone who hated donald trump and didn't want him elected. and who started the whole russia investigation it was peter strzok. he was the one who started the investigation. he was the one texting with his mistress. but i do think that rosenstein probably -- there are two separate issues. rosenstein, the civil liberties violations. i think rosenstein should go. why would trump hire members of the swamp to begin with. i'm kind of mad at trump for that. there are plenty of lawyers in america that went to harvard, too. mueller hasn't done any of this. danger with mueller ise's looking like patrick fitzgerald.

there was no crime. so talking about a perjury trap, it's not just putting someone under oath, we know what the truth is, we think this person is lying. it's when you are putting people under oath when there is no crime. that's what patrick fitzgerald did. he found out there was nothing illegal about revealing a name. then he puts everybody under oath. if there is no crime here, remember the entire russia argument, the entire russia collusion argument comes from these four members -- they weren't members of trump's staff. they were hangers on. roger stone keeps offering to testify publicly. you have carter page. you have sessions and papadopoulos. every single one of them has fallen apart and all you hear

them say on the other networks is this could be part of an obstruction of justice. no, if there is no crime. you can't put zero plus zero together. so i think we have a reason to ask what is it mueller is investigating? the whole thing was smoke and mirrors created by the swamp. judge jeanine: it's worse than that. it's going to the highest courts in the country. and i would think that the judge up there -- if someone came to me -- a cop came to me and said judge i want a warrant. i put him under oath and he lies to me, i would have his badge. how is the judge and the courts tolerating it. if you have james comey going in for an extension on the warrant after he just told the president it's unverified. how do you get an extension at a

higher level of probable cause. >> the civil liberties issues are different from the russia collusion story by itself. but both of them are faulting apart. the argument being made on the other side is no, the sleazy unverified dossier. it's out of context. can't the president declassify the entire thing? i think he ought to. judge jeanine: i think he's worried about interjecting himself into this. >> no, no, no, this is corruption. judge jeanine: if he had evidence that you speertd wiretap, why put in a dossier that's full of lies? >> i think very importantly why hasn't -- why are you bothering with the manafort stuff and cheap stuff. if they have proof that carter page was conspiring on behalf of

donald trump to inject millions of dollars into the campaign. judge jeanine: carter panel is walking around because he hasn't done anything apparently. and you have man for the indicted for something that's fruit of the poisonous tree. >> and it's not collusion. judge jeanine: governor mike huckabee is still on deck tonight. katrina pierson and richard fowler are ready to talk about the memo.

now back to "justice with judge jeanine." judge jeanine: liberals continue to attack the white house and the gop for releasing the fisa memo. take a listen. >> our democracy is under siege. people need to start taking to

the streets. this is a dictator. judge jeanine: my fired up political panel, katrina pierson and democratic strategist richard fowler. all right. richard, do people need to take to the streets. >> i think it's important that we outline some of the facts about this memo. one of the facts that it found to be the most of interesting is the case of peter strzok. there has been a lot of talk about peter strzok being insanely biased. but we learned that peter strzok was also responsible for drafting the memo in late october that led to the reopening of the clinton campaign possibly costing her the election. even if he was biased, it didn't take away from him doing his job. judge jeanine: katrina do you know why strzok called for the reopening of that investigation? >> he had to because the media

was about to break the story on the emails found on anthony weiner's server. the recommend kratz are refusing to see one key issue in this memo, and that's the timeline. the fbi cannot label an american citizen a foreign agent unless they are compiling intelligence for a foreign entity. then you can't get a nice awarrant nls unless they prove you are an agent. as you said in your previous segment, carter page is still walking around. this investigation started in july after trump clinched the investigation and the fbi exonerated hillary clinton from her email scandal. we know that the fbi was in the take for hillary, they were careless, they were communicate opening their government-issued devices and they were shell shocked when donald trump won

that election and that is why we are having this discussion today. >> i have a couple responses to that. we know from reporting that carter page was on the fbi's radar since 2013, and this warrant was renewed four different times. for a fisa warrant to be renewed you have to go back to the judge and proof you are gaining information to move the investigation forward. even if you give them facts, they used this particular dossier, they weren't back to four different judges saying. judge jeanine: it's not four different judges. >> we don't know that. judge jeanine: it's not. >> a second special counsel needs to be appointed. you have american citizens whose

lives are being destroyed. >> like who? >> the way the fbi handles -- they don't open a case investigating a person. they open a case investigating subject matter. we are talking about the fbi here. they open up an investigation and subject matter, implet e. trump campaign collusion with russia. then they find people to expand it out. people who aren't a part of the campaign. >> on the last page the last line the memo indicates the counter-intelligence investigation was triggered by george papadopoulos talking to a foreign agent. that's from the republican memo. on the final page on the last line.

>> exactly my point. you know who started that investigation? peter strzok. >> and a lot of other agents. judge jeanine: let's talk about when jim comey talks about that this dishonest, misleading memo wrecked the house intel community and damaged the relationship with the fisa court, to me it's rather interesting, richard, that in truth, i think jim comey has done more to destroy the confidence of the american people and the fbi. he's the one who created this mess and used an unverified salacious dossier that he told the president to reup it a few more times. this is just unheard of. >> i don't like jim comey because i think his final years

at the fbi was problematic. but this particular memo we are talking about did a couple things. it let the world know that the fbi was monitoring somebody who has been on their radar since july of 2013 for engage with for agents to take down and destroy our democracy. that should not be out because this investigation is not over. >> yet this guy is still walking around. >> because he's still under investigation. >> it's the mueller investigation, yes, judge. but we are sitting here talk about these outrageous things that have been happening to american citizens but we can't figure out where this came from. why were other people unmasked? where is susan rice? judge jeanine: you know what? >>er who has to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to retain

attorneys right now. judge jeanine: still ahead, i'll take the -- get the 30-plus year veteran. but next, mike huckabee standing by to talk about the memo and the reaction and what happened.

judge jeanine: the debate continues oh whether the controversial memo should have been released. my next guest believes the american people had to be aloud to see it. former governor of arkansas mike huckabee believes it had to be

released. >> absolutely it did. i think everything regarding this should be released. we should see the full fisa warrant that was give to the judge and see what it says. i want the democrat memo to be released. it has to go through the same process the republican memo went through. judge jeanine: there is a big thing going on about how the dems, they want their memo being released, and their memo isn't being released. is there a process they need to go through just like the republicans? >> of course. what they have to do is submit it to the white house, and they have a five-day window. they have to have the fbi and doj look at it to redact anything that could be a national security concern. but here is something i want to know. where are the civil libertarians. they have been critical of fisa

from its inception from george w. bush and their use of it. where is the aclu? not because they like donald trump. they don't have to like him. they can think he's guilty of war they want to think he's guilty of. but from a strict fourth amendment standpoint and civil liberty issue. there has been some tainted ways in which the warrant was obtained. and that ought to alarm the heck. and i'm wondering where is the aclu? they should be held accountable for this. >> there is also another -- john mccain tweeted the latest attacks on the fbi and the department of justice serve no american interest, only putin. what's going on with john mccain? >> i can't figure that out. that's got to be the most of disconnected comment i have seen related to this issue.

this isn't about the russians. this isn't about the russians. it's about whether officials at the top dove to the bottom of ethical behavior. and if they did, they should be held accountable. i want to make a point i don't hear enough. i heard people say so what if they get all this information on its citizens. google has information on me. but google can't arrest me, break my door down, put me in handcuffs and send me to prison for the rest of my life. our government can. that's why our founders have the fourth amendment to protect us from our own government. judge jeanine: going into the most of secret courts, using lies and repeatedly going back for more extensions on the surveillance. it doesn't seem to be working.

>> well, it not only doesn't seem to be work, it does seem to constitute a violation to the point if anything should come out, and you are the judge, you can perhaps cans this better than me. does that not constitute a reason to throw the whole case out because the manner in which the evidence was collected was not proper? that's the kind of thing that can get a prosecutor in trouble for not following the proper procedure in obtaining the evidence. judge jeanine: it's fruit of the poisonous tree. when you end up putting something in that is lies and something blossoms from it, that's fruit of the poisonous tree. it's not allowed into evidence. but nobody seems to be concerned about that except us. i think what we need to do is have some kind reckoning that the department of justice -- not

so much the fbi, i think the american people believe that when certain people are gone, the fbi rank and file is phenomenal. but the, j is still in the mud. >> it is. you have these very incompatible statement being said by high officials. jim comey talked about how this would be the worst breach of security and it would destroy national security. it would be disastrous if they released the information. then when it come out he says, this is it? it's either a terrible violation of national security or it's nothing. but it can't be both things at the same time. judge jeanine: thank you for being with us tonight. 30-plus years with the bureau. i'm talking live with a retired fbi agent about everything that's going on. - [narrator] introducing a breakthrough

in hearing aid technology. presenting the all new eargo plus. the world's smallest, most comfortable rechargeable hearing aid designed with patented flexi fibers so they're suspended completely inside the ear canal and so small that they're virtually invisible. the kind of invisibility hearing aid wearers have been looking for if you could look for invisibility, that is. which, you can't. or, i guess you can, but you won't find it. well, because it's invisible. you know, any way, the point is most people probably won't even know you're wearing them, and they're so comfortable

you might forget you're wearing them yourself. eargo plus is also rechargeable, so there's no need to replace batteries. because there's nothing more frustrating than those tiny hearing aid batteries, or there probably is, but we just can't think of it right now, and our advanced noise reduction technology reduces background noise. don't wait. call or go online now to get your free sample pair today, and try the hearing aid pcmagazine called, "tiny, comfortable, and nearly invisible." eargo, hear life to the fullest. "tiny, comfortable, and nearly invisible." so, howell...going? we had a vacation early in our marriage that kinda put us in a hole. go someplace exotic? yeah, bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. what? what happened? i got a little over-confident on a moped. even with insurance, we had to dip into our 401(k) so it set us back a little bit. sometimes you don't have a choice. but it doesn't mean you can't get back on track.

great. yeah, great. i'd like to go back to bermuda. i hear it's nice. yeah, i'd like to see it. no judgment. just guidance. td ameritrade.

judge jeanine: now for a didn't perspective and the memo, former special agent james weddick.

how do you come pat corruption in the world's largest law enforcement agency. >> the fbi is the leading criminal violation they do well. in this incidence we wouldn't be he lying on doj officials to conduct it. but the career special agents you talk about many times on your program that would just like to look at the facts of this case and render a verdict for the american public. judge jeanine: when you were in the fbi you ended up circling the globe and getting yourself involved in the case that start ended up putting some officials in prison. many of them. what do you think will be the upshot here? do you see corruption or is this

just bad dealing? >> i see we are at a place in time that has not occurred before. and i do believe the american public is going to deserve we conduct a fair, impartial but thorough investigation. as we did in california. i ran the corruption squad here in sacramento. it's the nation's most of populace state, the largest state. we were able to overcome any and all problems with respect to corrupt officials. i have no doubt that we can conduct and get to the bottom story. judge jeanine: who is doing the investigation of the investigators? >> that's the question here. we have to look at mccabe, comey, yates, there is some serious questionable activities they engaged themselves in. i think the career body --

agents that have been on the agency for a long time looking at white collar corruption. i don't doubt her up to the job to conduct an investigation. i am seeing false decla raitions. conspiracy some defraud the united states, false declarations section 1623, and let's -- let me also add this. submitting a false application or affidavit to a fisa court and accusing carter page of being a russian agent. they may very well have violated the civil rights provision of the color of law provision of the civil rights act title 18 section 242. there are a lot of possibilities for agents to look at. judge jeanine: governor huckabee

just talked about why the aclu isn't involved in this. do you have hopes some people will be held accountable or is this politics as usual? >> i think the inspector general is doing a good job. they uncovered a lot of stuff. the bureau got on -- it wasn't two minutes after strzok's text disappeared, they said they disappeared forever. it was the i.g. who found them immediately. judge jeanine: james wedick, so nice to have you on "justice" tonight. we'll be right back.

judge jeanine: . finally i want to say good night to a big thank you to you for making justice number one last. don't forget to follow me on twitter and instagram and friend me on facebook and you never have to miss justice. if you can watch set your dvr. thank you for watching. see you next saturday night. i'm jeanine pirro advocating for

truth, justice and the american way. the greg gutfeld show is next. >> i feel bad for you, intelligent people like you and rachel and brian williams and nicole wallace and jean robinson, you all have to sit there and talk about this guy as if he's a president. greg: he'll always be meathead. [cheering and applause] all right. so, you have a choice, do we talk about the state of the
