as the city getting better? who cares.:0 that's it for us tonight. tune in every night at 8:00 to the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and especially groupthink. good night from washington. sean hannity is next. hey, sean. >> sean: great show, tucker. welcome to "hannity." breaking out, j we have brand-nw just released messages from peter strzok and lisa page. our investigative team, we have dug deep. we will expose exchanges between strzok a page that others are not talking about and two blockbuster memos that are proving that the fbi lied to a fisa court. the unredacted grassley-graham memo showedk that the phony dossier made up the bulk of the application to obtain a fisa warrant.h a ton of details will take your breath away tonight. we'll explain it all. also sara carter reporting that the uranium one informant met

with congressional staffers and gave explosive testimony about a russian criminal enterprise operating right inside the united states. this is before the uranium one deal. sara carter will join us along informant's lawyer, victoria toensing. first we get to tonight's breaking news opening monologue. brand-new we have even more test messages from peter strzok and lisa page. a report raising questions about hillary clinton's potential involvement and hillary clinton's email investigation. uranium and exchange about creating talking points for james comey, page rights, potus wants to know everything we want to know. okay. so what exactly did president obama want to be briefed on? sources close to strzok and paige are telling "the wall street journal" that this message they sent doesn't have to do with the clinton email probe, and instead, was

talking about possible russian interference in the election. so in light of the new strzok texts, we need to know what investigation did obama want to be briefed on. that is why tonight we have two very simple questions for barack obama and frankly, everyone else involved in this scandal. take a quick look. >> what did the president know and when did he know it? >> sean: that was senator howard baker during the watergate investigation asking very important questions of president barack obama and others now need answers to, they got to answer to everybody. what did -- we reached out and we do not get a comment. by the way, shocking, also, there's a new o batch of text messages that was just released from the trump-hating fbi lovers peter strzok and lisa page. it highlights their investigative bias and of course, their continued hatred of donald trump. on august 9th, 2016, lisa page writes, he's not ever going to becomet, president, right?

right? their hatred for troublemakers from there. on november 3rd, 2016, only days before the election, page wrote, "the new york times" probability numbers are dropping every single day. i'm scared for our organization. the senate report notes this is likely a reference to "the new york times" election forecast, which showed trump gaining ground at that point in the election. then on election day, november 8th, 2016, strzok then says, oh, my god, this is blinking terrifying andzo the nt day, he follows up with "oh, my god, i am so depressed." a few days later on november 13th, here is what lisa page texts. pay close attention. "i bought all the presidents men, i figured i needed a brush up on watergate." the following day, she writes, god, being here makes me angry. lots of high polluting national security talk. meanwhile, we have our task ahead of us. a okay, what text are they talking about? they also called trump an idiot,

loathsome humanlo being, talked about their insurance policy in case he won. clearlybu they were abusively biased towards nonresident donald trump. here's what is very important. peter strzok into an extent lisa page, who was andrew mccabe's legal counsel, they are at the center of everything and all of this. strzok was a former top intelligence official at the fbi and sign the documents -- remember -- to start the russia investigation. strzok also played a key role in the clinton investigation, even interviewing hillary and helping james comey write that exoneration months before the investigation. of course, by overseeing the interviews of not only clinton, but also general flynn. by the way, he's the one guy who helped put the fix in. one of a couple. that allowed hillary clinton to remain in this presidential race. otherwise, very likely if it was a fair investigation, she probably would have been indicted. a new text message proves that on september 20th, 2016, strzok says, got called up to andy's

earlier, who we think is andrew mccabe, hundreds of thousands of emails turned over by anthony weiner's attorney toto e fdny, includes a ton ofma materl from spouse, huma abedin, sending team up tomorrow to review. this will never end. here is why this is important. according to reports, what's in the upcoming doj inspector general report we expected next month is what caused andrew mccabe to abruptly resigned at the end of last month. "the wall street journal" is fff reporting that the fbi officials, top officials, including mccabe, they knew about huma abedin's emails that were found on anthony weiner's laptop in september of 2016 but they waited for at least a month before alerting congress. the text message provides very key proof that is showing that comey, mccabe, others, they literally sat at a crucial moment on huma abedin's emails that were discovered in anthony weiner's laptop. the question is, why?

what took them so long to notify congress, which they should have done? the ig report is due in the spring, probably march, and hopefully those questions will be answered. there are other text messages from strzok and page thatt are raising a lot of red flags tonight. on may 19th, 2 days after robert mueller was named the special counsel, i strzok was talking about joining the investigation with mueller and strzok asked question. an investigation leading to impeachment? why are they talking about impeachment? keep in mind, during that same text exchange on may 19th, 2 days after robert mueller was namedd special counsel, he says, youno and i both know the odds e nothing. if i thought it was likely, i'd be there no question. i hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern that there is no big there there. so strzok knew from the start that mueller would be caring out of which on pretty much. there is no revelations about former attorney general loretta

lynch, her involvement in the clinton email cover. in june 2016, bill clinton infamously meets with loretta the tarmac in phoenix for 30 minutes which caused longed to say on july 1st that she is stepping away from the investigation when she would accept the fbi's conclusion. keep in mind, all of this is before hillary clinton was ever interviewed by the fbi. after lunch a statement that she was taken aback seat, she would go along with the fbi in james comey, the same guy that she says, don't call it an investigation, college of matter, strzok writes to page, timing look like hell. page writes that's awful timing, and page later adds, it's a real profile encourages since she, loretta lynch, knows no charges will be product. by the way, they hadn't interviewed hillary. four dayss later, comey told his press conference rightnt after e interviewed clinton, that was strzok's interview, they let clinton off the hook. page, strzok, lynch, comey all knew that clinton would it be

charged in the obamama administration in fact was rigging it and the fix was in. also tonight, even more evidence that the fbi lied to a fisa court using that clinton bought and paid for apy dossier to on e trump campaign. last night we explained in depth about the unredacted details in the grassley-graham memo. here are the highlights if you weren't with us. the funny dossier in fact did make up the bulk of that fisa application. in march of 2016,f james comey briefed congress that the fbi used the dossier enough fives application because i thought christopher steel was credible. call me trusted steele. the fbi only vaguely referenced the political origins to the fisa court, so what they were doing was hiding the fact, they did until the fisa court in the application that that dossier that they didn't verify was boughtry and paid for by hillary clinton.

the centers also accused steele of materially misleading misleading the fbi. steele was working on a second dossier, we told you last night, and he impart -- this takes the case -- was being fed information from the obama state department and clinton associates. so they are giving literally clinton's friends are giving steele the information he's using in the phony dossier but the rest of the information came from the russian government, remember? he was saying the government was the source for the phony dossier material. steele was briefing several mainstream mediaat outlets, thee lies and propaganda, in the summeral and fall of 2016, about his first fake news dossier. british court records, steele talk to reporters, lets he come from "the new york times," fix news "washington post," and of coursd of september 2016 about the dossier. we previously uncovered that fusion gps cofounder glenn simpson testified to a

congressional committee that the clinton campaign and the dncmp were very aware that his company was contacting media outlets, coordinating in other words, about the dossier. coordinating their efforts to leak these motion lies. also, remember, the senate report says the dossier, as we told you last night, full of information from the russian government. while mark. there really is a russia collusion story. hillary, russia collusion. of course, the republican house intelligence committee memo. the highlights from that document, the former deputy fbi director andrew mccabe revealed without that dossier, the fisa warrant to survey all would never have been approved. the fisa judge was in this case never notified that the dossier was bought and paid for by the hillary clintoned and the dnc, funneled through the same law firm, which of course is a huge problem, and we also know that james comey, andrew mccabe, sally yates, and rod rosenstein

all approved surveilling in this particular case. the fbibi also used the yahoo ns article written by michael isikoff about the carter trip to russia. they were using it as separate and independent source to corroborate the phony dossier before thehe fisa judge, except the source for the yahoo story was christopher steele. so they never corroborated the information becauseus steele was the source of the dossier and the fake new story by michael isikoff. we also know that no one ever verified what was in the dossier. of course the memo shows that steele was suspended and terminated as an fbi source for leaking to the press, demoted doj official bruce ohr had a close relationship with him. remember, ohre had an office for doors down from the deputy attorney general, rodt rosenstein, who would later appoint robert mueller. ohr's wife, nellie, want to talk about coincidences in life? his wife was employed by fusion gps specifically working

on the anti-trump opposition research. bruce ohr said that steele said "he was desperate, the author of the dossier, desperate that donald trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president. finally, the memo finds that during the first fisa application for that warrant, corroboration of the steele dossier was "its infancy stage.i he never verified the russian paid for lies by hillary and the dnc. the fbi lied to a fisa court and the user dossier full of russian lies to spy on the trump campaign, just before an important american election, and america's powerful tools of intelligence for weaponized to spy on an opposition campaign during an election year. the key people involved need to explain themselves. here with reaction tonight, we welcome back former u.s. attorney for the district of columbia, the fox news legal

analyst gregg jarrett, tom fit in. joe, it's a lot to absorb, n a t of information, but it is so telling and sad that this could happen in united states. give us your general take away. >> this is piling on in a very big way. we are headed toward a very sad ending forve the fbi and senior doj officials. mccabe is gone because christopher wray knows what's in the other emails on the other texts. mccabe was sent packing as a result of christopher wray being briefed by a number of people who have access to the investigation that is underway, which is going to lead to criminal charges againstng a number of people. what you are seeing coming out now and the text messages is just the minimum of what is available now to doj officials as they watch it sadly -- >> sean: who is going to get charged? >> i believe that several --

several -- high fbi officials will be charged criminally. it is conceivable that some doj people will also be charged criminally. >> sean: what about james comey? >> i can't answer that question because too much of the information about comey is filtered through other people. it is clear, though, that at the time prior to the election, and subsequent to the election, there were a group of people inside the fbi at the senior levels on the seventh floor who decided that they were going to protect hillary clinton, they were going to change 302s, and they were going to make sure -- >> sean: explained that. >> they were going to change three oh twos interview notes, they were going to exonerate hillary, and they were going to frame donald trump. it is an escape ball no matter what all these people are saying at "the new york times"w and

"the washington post" with their silly editorials. they are missing one of the great corruption stories of american law enforcement. it's sad to say, it involves the senior levels of the fbi and it is a national disgrace. >> sean: one oh four the biggest? >> i i would consider this the largest law enforcement scandal in history for this reason. there activities of mccabe and others and bruce ohr and others were designed to subvert the constitution and a nationalio election. the most serious offense under our constitution. >> sean: gregg jarrett, let's start with the new strzok-page texts we have tonight. we are missing the five crucial months, though they have been recovered. we have a lot more common, 50,000 in total. with each new revelation, it gets worse.

>> people can bicker about the meaning of these text messages, but it's abundantly clear that there was such extreme political bias on the part of strzok and page and personal animus toward donald trump, the candidate and the president, that these two people shouldho have been nowhee near the investigation. some people have said, and i've watched them another programs, saying, when mueller found out, he fired strzok. well, he was on the hillary clinton case, the lead investigator, then he jumped to the trump-russiath case, then te mueller case. so for two years, how much damage did he do before he was caught? >> sean: let me ask you about this. the house until has requested the judge to provide for fisa transcript hearings, i want to talk about the legality of all of this because we do know that lindsey graham and senator grassley, they got a chance to look at all four

codifies applications. that was a footnote nobody paid attention to you with the unredacted memo they had. as it relates to the intel, i would think if we ever got a hold of the fisa court, considering they are seeing the bulk of information to allow this to go forward was based on the phone he hillary clinton paid for russian government dossier, they withheld all this information from a court, i got to believe that court judge has got to be livid and furious tonight. >> this is the letter that devin nunes has sent today to the presiding judge of the fisa court. requesting not one, but four different hearings and any transcripts to determine the false misrepresentations of facts that were made, allegedly, by the department of justice and the fbi. if you just look at the grassley-graham letter, it plays

out a meticulous case of how the court was misled, deceived, evidence wass concealed, but it may be even worse in those transcripts. leon panetta was wrong when he said, the intel committee didn't even interview the judges. i got news for him, they have ny authority. but they do have authority, as witnessed by this letter, to get their hands on the transcripts of the hearings before those fisa judges. >> sean: tom, this whole issue of barack obama wanting to be kept abreast of all of this in strzok and page preparing for talking points for obama, "wall street journal" said it was not about the investigation but earlier comments i saw that you made, you have your doubts about that. >> you pick. it's either about the emailus investigation or the russian investigation. either way, you see president obama being intensely involved and wanting to know everything about either the clinton email investigation or

russiaia investigation. pick your poison in terms of presidential involvement in the sensitive criminal investigatio investigation. i've always wondered why president obama has skatedd really free from any serious inquiries about his involvement in the russia investigation, his knowledge about the dossier, it's origins. he's a politician, too, running the dnc and parked. did he know about the payments of the dnc and hillary clinton and the dossier's use in their rush investigations and those fisa applications. did he know about the dossier's use -- i would think -- to justify unmasking? these are questions that have to be asked of president obama.im this president is being criminally investigated about his communications with the fbi director about a criminal investigation. why isn't there similar inquiries into what president obama was doing? >> sean: what about, joe, there seems to be complicity here. if things weren't bad enough that hillary is a paying for

russian -- from the grassley-graham memo, russian government information, to be used in an election to lie to the american people, then used as the bulk of information for the fisa warrant, now we have the information that looks like sid viciouss blumenthal and people at the department of state are complicit in providing steele this phony information that he coordinates of the clinton campaign to disseminate to the lazy, overpaid so-called journalists in the media and this country. >> here is the most important thing about all of this. this shows that the fbi was bootstrapping all of the information that it was getting and it was basically a circular firing squad so that all the information that was based on the same information. therefore, nothing that was being presented to the fisa court was actually verifiable. let me just say something about leon panetta.. i saw his comments this weekend where he condemned chairman nunes for politicizing

intelligence. what a disgraceful comment by a former cia director. leon panetta should be ashamed of himself. he's obviously not reading the papers. what's more, he obviously has not read read the april 26th, 7 opinion of the fisa court in which the accused t the fbi of purposely and illegally and unconstitutionally leaking fisa 702 information to private contractors, which is a felony. you'veth never heard mr. leon panetta say anything about that. you've never heard him say anything about any of the conduct of john brennan, the single most political cia director in history. and john brennan's comments this weekend about all of the stuff that nunes is doing, rank among the most disgusting political comments by any cia, former cia director in history. >> sean: wow. i want to know john brennan and

clapper, i want to know about the surveillance, leaking intelligence and their potential understanding and knowledge of that. we'll find out in weeks and months ahead. when we come back, a breaking news story on uranium one. sara carter, the informant testified today, that's next. ♪ (announcer) dance to your own beat this valentine's day.

♪ >> sean: investigative reporter sara carter out with a huge bombshell. no report on the uranium one scandal tonight. sara is reporting the informant that spent years gathering information on the russia energy and uranium market industry for the fbi met staff members of the senate judiciary committee, house oversight, and the house intelligence committees pray that all happened earlier today where he gave explosive testimony on his years as an

undercover informant providing information to the fbi on russian criminal networks that are operating right inside the united states. he also contends in his testimony, and is rich in briefs that the fbi, russia attempted to hide their ongoing aid to help sustain our brands nuclear industry at the time the obama administration approved the sale of 20% of u.s. uranium mining rights to russia. we did reach out to hillary clinton for a statement, her spokesman called the informant "a charade and the destruction." with more, fox news contributor who broke the story, sara carter. lawyer for the fbi informant, victoria toensing. we've got to put this in context. he worked for the fbi many, many years and then he worked in particular, if i'm not mistaken, sara, six years on this case. i'm sorry, victoria, you are shaking your head. >> he was introduced to the fbi and they immediately sent him

over to work with the cia, which he did for about 15, 20 years, and that when he got involved in the uranium and russian places, the cia turned him back over fbi counterintelligence. >> sean: so he finally testifies today, sara, want to go to your final report. i want to remind everyone of important facts. we don't have enough uranium in this country. before the signoff, the nine separate agents signing off on it, they knew that vladimir putin had agents in this country wanted to get a foothold in uranium of our country, they were involved in bribery, racketeering, kickbacks, money laundering, all sorts of behavior. they knew all of this even 18 months prior. they still allowed this to go forward. tell us what you can now break up into night. >> i think that's important. what's even more important, sean, is that they knew that the russians were still double dealing with iran.

this was the biggest concern for the republicans at that time. this is the reason why they didn't want the uranium one deal to go through. they were screaming mad about it. but everybody tried to assure everyone that russia was no longer in the russians themselves. they were lying, they were no longer dealing with iran on the nuclear reactors. at that time, william campbell, the informant, was actually providing information, and this was months before, that russia was still dealing with iran. this is a major issue. so despite all the information that he provided to the fbi and their counterintelligence unit, the obama administration chose to ignore that, and move forward with the sale of uranium one to the canadian mining company. >> sean: the more important point is that he tried to tell people and warn people specifically about everything that was going on, and he was told and has proof and evidence that in fact the response was, it's not going to be a problem as long as hillary's and the

administration, then a secretary of state. >> this is exactly what he was testifying. i know victoria will be able to speak more to his testimony today. this was what he was testifying, to those committee staffers who were questioning him. the russians were consistently bragging about their relationship with the clintons and that they would be able to move this through the obama administration without any trouble. i know that that is something he really wanted to bring forward. look, he had been suffering from cancer. he had her second bout with a cancer diagnosis and he believed that he wasn't going to make it and he wanted to ensure that his information became public, and this was the only way he could do it. >> sean: victoria, you were there the entire time today. this is your client. we've been waiting for this testimony for a long time. i know you've had to sift through years of information. what was the reaction, if you can't tell us, please committees.

number two, if you could explain the why, it never made sense to allow, when we knew vladimir putin had a band of supporters in our country that wanted to get our uranium and they are still doing this with iran, that comey is mentioning, how could that happen? >> let me take you back to 2005, when it really started, the russian plan to take over u.s. uranium piles. that was when guess what, bill clinton, former president and his multi-gazillion her friends traveled to kazakhstan, and bestowed all kinds of racism a dictator there and ended up with uranium mining rights and it was then that the russians planned strategically how they could take over uranium when the united states. one of the key proponents -- or elements of that plan was to get the approval to buy uranium one.

it also started in 2005. >> sean: why didn't they listen to your client? it sounds like he was dumbfounded. he had all this information, and the heart of it, he sees the corruption around it, he knows that we don't have enough uranium resources on our own. why didn't anybody listen to him? >> he's telling the fbi agents, who he supposed to be working with, he's telling them about the strategic plan of pollutant to take over the uranium and industry. he is writing of these reports and telling them about it. he's also telling them about the corruption and these companies, all of them, they are all one company, even though they have different names, but they were so confident, sean, the russian russians, that they told mr. mr. campbell that with the clintons help it was a shoe in to get the approval. and they were so confident in that that they even had him open up a new office because they were planning on the kind of business they were going to do.

>> sean, victoria brought up a really good point. your question, he did approaches fbi handlers. he asked them, why aren't you doing anything about this? why are we arresting people now that we know this is going on? why is this uranium one deal still going through? what he was told, this is all politics. this is about politics. and that is what is fbi handlers told him. take it from there. >> sean: did robert mueller know about this? >> we don't know. mr. campbell was told by the fbi, they were taking it upstairs, he was also told that president obama had it in his daily briefing twice. when he was asked, when mr. campbell was asked, why did you do all this for so long and you are losing money, he says because i'm a patriot. that's what i believe. >> sean: we got to take everything back to the money. the kickbacks and the connection

to the clinton foundation. we are running out of time. we will stay on this story as well. it's unbelievable. thank you both for being with us. when we come back, judge jeanine pirro will weigh in on both of these top stories tonight as "hannity" continues, we are glad you were with us. ♪

>> sean: joining us now with reaction s to all of tonight's breaking news, the host of "justice," judge jeanine pirro. if you look at our top stories tonight, a part of me can't o believe all of this is happening. t we have the grassley-graham memorandum, unredacted, that comes out last night literally minutes before we start the show. in this they are saying this dossier is full of russian government lies, they don't say lies, but russian government sources, russians, and we learned that there are clinton sycophants also feeding christopher christopher steele. they use in the dossier to feed

to a liberal media that doesn't do any work or fact-checking on their own, but then it gets even deeper, comey and others used this as the bulk of information, unverified, hillary clinton bought and paid for russian propaganda, full of salacious lies to get a fisa warrant against an opposition party candidate to prevent him from morning and then when he does when max, to try and unseat a duly elected president. i don't know where to begin with the law here. >> if you were to write a script for hollywood, even they might think that this was a little over the top. sean, the frustration that i have and so many americans have is that as we keep hearing these pieces of evidence come out, we say to ourselves, why isn't anything being done? or do something about to be done? as someone who has tried criminal cases for decades, what youu do if you put together the pieces of the puzzle.

now we know that president obam president obama -- schalk -- lied to us when he said i'm not involved in anything involving the fbi and the doj. no investigation of my involvement, and you've got these two fbi lovebirds saying that -- >> sean: doe we know what that text message was? >> sean, and september of '16, comey had already closed the clinton emails in july '16. it's either about the set up they were doing to set up donald trump or someone was saying it's about a meeting with putin. here's the bottomin line. the president-elect was directly involved with the fbi in identifying their investigation investigations. when she says he wants to know what they are doing, he doesn't want to know about their sex life or they're having an affair, it's what they are doing at work as it relates to the fbi. every trial is a puzzle. the pieces of the puzzle are coming together.

strzok has to be indicted, mccabe has to be indicted. do you a lot of people right now who are right on the brink. >> sean: on the brink of -- finish that thought. >> wegh are on the brink of indictments coming down. i'm glad congress look into this.an i'm very happy. themselves happy and make no mistake, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't know half of this. i want to prosecutor looking into this. i want a grand jury impaneled. i want toct subpoenas. i know the inspector general is coming up with his report and as i understand it --ea >> >> sean: he would likely be the targets? >> what would be the question? >> who would be the targets of this investigation? >> fbi. strzok, mccabe, i don't know why ohr, lisa page, there's an interesting character, he's a

wins, she make it matter u to u. the more important thing is, how did they possibly take unverifiedfied information withholding from fisa court, how do you withhold that covered information when seeking something like a fisa warrant? >> let me explain something to you, sean. aa lot of the fisa judges -- people think that they are special. no, they are district court judges. and i there is something called forum shopping. someone decides, i want tohi get this judge or that judge. and maybe if you look at the number of fisa warrants that are approved, 97%, comees on. sound like a rubber-stamp to you? as if they are worried they'll be found out? >> sean: i know one judge i i don't want to be before, that's you. keep up the good work from a thank you. when we come back, the mooch,

fisasa judge the facts of who bought and paid for this phony dossier this unverified and it's used to get a fisa warrant, and you're right about incidental unmasking and leaking raw intelligence. in the media, for the most part, there's been a blackout. isn't that true? >> i think there has largely been a lack of curiosity and a lack of accurate and farrell reporting. there's been plenty representing one viewpoint but veryn little n the other side except to the extent that it debunks. i think that part of the reason for that as there is a much bigger scandal under the surface and some people know this, which is, in my view, not that they were going after president trump perhaps during the campaign, but why, because, unlike u what they thought would happen if jeb bush orto hillary clinton were elect, they are summits of the intelligence community that have been there for more than one administration who fear that donald trump could bring inn people who would peel back the layers and see the allegedly improper and illegal

surveillance they've implemented for a long time. >> sean: deep state. anthony scaramucci. >> my question to the american people are so much longerng aree going to tolerate this. my question as to everyone of us out there that see this happening, how do we deal with these people? sharyl, myself, you come all know how ruthless they are, how diabolical they are, and they will stop at anything to stop honest people from uncovering them. >> sean: what chuck schumer says,yo they will get you six ws to sunday? the guys on fake news cnn saying -- >> the monster that was saying we are around for 100 plus years and you were around for 13 months. this is sort of nonsense. the american people have to understand that their government is there to serve them. we are not here to serve the people that work in the government.va they are our servant and they need to be held accountable for the nonsense that's going on. >> sean: last word, sharyl attkisson. >> there is much more to come. we should be looking at the big

picture, not necessarily the minutia that distracts >> sean: thank you both. moot,, welcome back. we appreciate you coming on. time for the video of the day. during america's least favorite lovebirds. liberal joe and lebron mika. we'll explain straight ahead. my name is jeff sheldon,
