effort to set up a meeting with fake news dossier author christopher steele. first tonight our very important breaking news opening monologue. ♪ all right so, we're going to go slow. what we have been reporting on night after night for over a year now is turning into a scandal bigger than watergate. and here is why this is all so alarming. all the information we have been telling you about so far is only a sample of what's to come. it's the tip of the ice beg. now, these facts, this evidence will rock the foundation of washington, d.c. it will make you question how is it possible this could ever happen in the united states of america? it's that serious why we have been pushing for answers. licialght mainstream media supposed to be about truth and transparency. they have been missing in action. they have turned their backs. ignoring the biggest story in their life times.

sole focus delegitimizing president trump. peddling hour after hour fake conspiracy stories fake trump russia collusion. no evidence to base it on whatsoever. here is what they don't want you to know about the key officials involved in this scandal. let's start with player number one, that, of course, would be hillary clinton. now, remember donna brazile in her book? she talked about hillary rigging the primary against bernie sanders. imagine in that was donald trump. then clinton tried to build on that idea. she was teeming up with the dnc. they worked through a law firm. they paid over $12 million for that he is labors dossier filled with russian lies, russian propaganda. why? because they wanted to influence the general election through lies. clinton also tried to keep this a secret. she went through a law firm perkins couey which hired glenn simpson and fusion gps and they paid british expert

christopher steele. according to gregg jarrett who has been doing a deep dive into all of this, two crimes may have been committed in this instance, 52 u.s. code 30121 which says it is illegal to make a payment, donation, or trade anything of value with the foreign national in connection with any kind of election in america. now, remember, steele is a former british spy. he was only hired by fusion gps once hillary clinton started picking up the tab for the trump opposition research. not before. gregg also points out 52 usc 30101, it makes it a crime to file a false or misleading campaign report. new a watchdog with the campaign legal center they have actually filed a complaint with the federal election commission accusing the clinton campaign and the dnc of violating campaign finance laws. and for failing to disclose payments they made for this dossier. all right. next up is disgraced former fbi director james comey. now he along with corrupt

fbi agent, remember, peter strzok and other top deputies not rank and file. they put the fix in to save hillary clinton from prosecution when we know she committed multiple felonies as it relates to the email server scandal. now, comey and the lackeys they ignored incontrovertible evidence about clinton breaking the law, having secret, top secret special access programming, classified information stored in that mom and pop shop bathroom closet. remember on that server. they also failed to act after clinton's team deleted 33,000 subpoenaed emails, then they acid washed using bleach bit on the hard drives and then any devices they had left over they busted those up with a hammer. by the way the mobile devices they eventually turned over to the fbi, they were useless. they had no sim cards in them. now, despite all of, this comey, strzok, and others, they crafted an exoneration statement months before ever interviewing hillary clinton. and 17 other key witnesses on the case.

by the way, that's not how law enforcement works. and in that exoneration statement, when describing clinton's mishandling of classified information, comey changed the words the legal standard gross negligence, which is the legal standard to extreme carelessness. and they also altered a section that said it was reasonably likely that hostile foreign actors and adversaries of the united states had hacked the server. and they completely removed information about hillary clinton emailing president obama. which means that obama knew hillary was breaking the law or should have known. now, all of this allowed hillary clinton to stay in the presidential race, which obviously they wanted. and then she uses the russian propaganda dossier. why? to lie to the measur american people. nobody had verified what was in that dossier. not even glenn simpson of fusion gps. again, going back to gregg jarrett, according to him, if comey exonerated hillary clinton for political purposes, that means he obstructed justifiable. he should have been seeking

the truth. and that's only the start of comey's involvement in this scandal. and according to the house intel committee in their memo, comey signed off personally on three fisa applications to spy on the trump campaign. and as fbi lied to the fisa court about the dossier being bought and paid for by hillary clinton and the dnc. oh, excuse me, they did have a footnote it may have some political origins but they knew hillary and the dnc paid for it. and comey's fbi then they also used that you yahoo news article written by michael isikoff about carter page. they were corroborating the dossier. well, here's the problem they knew the source for the yahoo story was christopher steele. and the fbi never independent lid verified the information nor did fusion g.p.s. because steele was their only source. and by the way from there it only gets worse. according to the grassley-graham memo, the bloinbluck,let me remeet the bet

the hillary clinton phony dossier. comey told congress he didn't bother corroborating the dossier because the fbi felt christopher steele was credible. really? you don't have to corroborate these things? and comey also testified under oath that the same dossier that he used to get the fisa warrant was, quote, salacious and unverified. and comey also told then president-elect the same thing in january 2016. but it was only just a couple of months earlier the dossier was used to get a warrant. did he tell the fisa judge it's unverified? did he tell the fisa judge any of this information? no, he did not. okay. that is guilt biomission u purposefully omitting information that like lie have had a big impact on that judge. all right. player new number three tonight andrew mccabe. house memo details how

mccabe testified without the dossier the fisa warrant to surveil would never have been approved. and mccabe is also tied to the clinton email coverup. remember the recent reports? andrew mccabe? he was forced to resign over revelations in a soon to be released doj inspector general report. we are told all about the clinton email investigation. and the "wall street journal" is reporting that mccabe and other top fbi officials, remember, they also knew about huma abedin's emails that were found on anthony weiner's laptop. they knew about them in september of 2016. important information. but they waited at least a month before they told congress? and we can't forget mccabe's wife. she got $700,000 on astronomical amount of money for a failed senate run in the commonwealth of virginia from a group tied to clinton ally terry mcauliff and from the virginia democratic party. now, mccabe eventually had to recuse himself from the clinton email investigation. was it because he got caught or because he thought it was

the right thing to do. have you two key allies of andrew mccabe. they are corrupt. they are the trump bashing fbi lovers peter strzok and lisa page. they are players number four and five. page actually served as the legal counsel to mccabe. as for strzok, like we have been telling you he is at the epicenter of the scandal, every scandal, every issue that we have been talking about the last year and and a half. now strzok is a former top fbi counter intelligence official. he is the one that signed out documents that kingdom off think phony russia probe. he also oversought interviews of lieutenant general michael flynn. he is the guy who interviewed hillary clinton and her top aides. we have already told you how strzok play audit key role in changing the clinton exoneration statement. exchanging gross negligence and extreme carelessness. >> then there is strzok and padges extreme hatred of donald trump. they called him a i had out, menace, loathe some human being. they said if trump and clinton up-to-the-minuted to

win 100 million to zero, and strzok and page also talked with who we think is andrew mccabe about that insurance policy? god forbid donald trump wins the election u yesterday we got a new batch of text messages that show their inherent anti-trump bias. in the lead up, of course, to the election. lisa page was fearful, oh my gosh, donald trump is going to win. on election day strzok writes back oh my god. this is blanking terrifying. and the following day he says oh my god, i'm so depressed. and a couple of days later lisa page writes: well, i bought all the president's men, figure i feed to brush up on watergate, the insurance people. then later page sends a message that reads, god, being here makes me angry. lots of hig highfalutin national security talk. and meanwhile we have our task ahead of us. wonder if that's tied to the insurance policy? what does page mean by task? when you put all of this together, with the insurance policy text, it raises

serious, serious red flags. now, these love birds also messaged back and forth about special counsel robert mullen. remember, they had five months of missing texts? well, right after robert mueller was appointed on may 19th, two days after the appointment, strzok was debating about joining the investigation. struck asked his lover page an investigation leading to impeachment? even before mueller's probe. even before it got started of strzok and page were tog about impeaching president obama. now, this part is very important. during the same back and forth, strzok texts well you and i both know the odds are nothing. if i thought it was likely, i would be there no question. meaning with mueller. i hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern there's no big there there. pretty stunning admission. now, strzok helped start the russia investigation but he thought there was no there there. also directly wrapped up in all of this is the demoted

doj official bruce ohr and his wife nellie. they are players six and seven in this game if you want to call it a game of corruption. bruceobruce ohr reprimanded at e doj when it was discovered he was meeting with fusion gps before and after the election. ohr's office tower days down from rod rosenstein. his wife nellie worked at fusion gps. her job focusing in on the anti-trump dossier. aincluding to the memo bruce ohr told investigators he had a close relationship with the dossier author christopher steele. ohr said he was desperate that donald trump not get elected and was that the about him not being president. pretty amazing. i couldn't write this in a novel. now we turn our attention to loretta lynch player number 8 in all of this. according to testimony from former director james comey

lynch instructed the fbi to criminal investigation into hillary clinton as a matter. don't call it an investigation. don't call it what it really is and then it got worse. in june of 2016, while the fbi so-called independent investigation is ongoing, bill clinton is meeting with loretta lynch on a tarmac for 40 minutes. lynch said the meeting was about grandchildren and golf. the former a.g. announced she was stepping away from the investigation after this. and she just accept the fbfbiconclusion. keep in mind this all took place before hillary clinton was interviewed on the fourth of july weekend by out fbi and exonerated the next business day. after lynch announced that she was taking a backseat to the clinton investigation, strzok literally texts page and says timing looks like hell, page replies yeah, awful timing and then adds oh, it's a real profile in courage talking about lynch since she knows no charges will be brought.

now, four days later, comey holds his press conference where he infamously announces the fbi is not recommending charges against clinton. after 13 and a half minutes laying out a damning case against hillary. rod rosenstein is also a player in all of this, this ongoing fisa scandal. we will call him player number 9 tonight. first and foremost rosenstein overseas the entire russia investigation. he was the official responsible for appointing robert mueller as a special counsel. we have more on mueller in a minute. first, we know that it was rosenstein who signed off on one of the applications to extend the fisa warrant against the trump campaign. and then you have president obama, oh, yeah, what about him? we will call him player number 10 tonight. if russia interfering in our election was so troubling, why didn't the obama administration say something prior to the election? we now have an ntsb news report the obama white house wasn't too worried about it because, quote: they thought that hillary was

going to win. well, what does that tell you if hillary wins it's okay? and then the cherry on top is robert mueller. we will call him player number 11 tonight. the special counsel heading up the russia investigation, we know that mueller hired an extremely, i mean extremely partisan team filled with individuals who had given over 50 grand but only to democrats. no money to donald trump. we know who they gave money obama, clinton, and the dnc. we also know mueller is best friends, bff with james comey. we know that he interviewed with trump to be the next fbi director. and the day before he was appointed special counsel is when that interview took place. so it's all very suspicious. and those are just the main key players in all of this. it gets complicated but i want to make sure everybody is understanding this because as we move forward, i would guarantee almost at this point there is going to be massive investigations and i would not at all be surprised people will be going to jail. people will be indicted.

joining us now, author, attorney, david limbaugh, fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. jason chaffetz, thank you, a, gregg for all your help in all of this with the law. let's go through these players and what we're talking about here. >> well, with hillary clinton, i counted up 16 potential crimes. but then you have to factor in 110 classified documents. you know, so you can do the multi-ification. you need a calculator for that james comey potentially he committed 8 different crimes. we need to dig out the evidence. he needs to be put under oath. he needs to be investigated. he has got his book coming out. and i read recently. >> i'm sure it will be msnbc conspiracy. >> you will find it under the fiction category. and then have you got all kinds of people as you pointed out, it looks like

the fix was in and they did it for political reasons to clear hillary clinton. that's obstruction of justifiable and other crimes. >> sean: i shouldn't even call you congressman because you are a recovering politician. >> thank you. >> sean: we always love having you on fox. >> thank you. >> sean: from your vantage point, listen, you were involved in a lot of these issues. one of the biggest frustrations that i think people out there have is republicans get fast and furious, we get truth. nobody ever gets held accountable. >> yeah. >> sean: i'm laying out this case as strongly as confidential informant have you ever seen anything like it number one, how bad do you think it is? do you see enough evidence that you think people should be indicted in this special case or at least a special counsel? how would you want them to proceed? >> i have never seen something so comprehensive at the senior most levels. i was the one that actually signed the subpoenas to actually get these documents. i was the one that was trying to extract this information. and this deep state that was there kind of privilege -- >> sean: we know nunes had to wait a year. >> yeah.

>> sean: rod rosenstein begged paul ryan in the final hours that is the most offensive things. a glad speaker ryan. >> sean: he held his ground. >> it's embarrassing that he did that trey gowdy they don't give us handcuffs. there were plenty who came before that's should be in handcuffs and at lease that information should be going to a grand jury. these people are not only obstructing justice but they are actually political players to manipulate an election. >> sean: so bad? >> yes. you were absolutely attacking the very foundation of our country. not only when he was a candidate. not a fair fight. where is bernie sanders in all of this? he got manipulated, too. >> sean: he got robbed. >> he did. >> sean: david, let's look at watergate. you have a third rate burglary. have you coverup afterwards that leads to one president leaving office. others going to jail in that particular case. as you see these facts

unfolding. as you read these memos and in the case of devin nunes and the house intel committee, this is one of at least five, and you read the grassley-graham memo, what are you thinking about in terms of the law and about the comparisons to watergate? >> one thing that strikes me, sean, is that during watergate had you certain key players in the republican party nixon and others who thought they could do things. and they had low level operatives tasking out these things. now what we have today is an entire radicalized democratic leftist party that was in control. obama was virtually immune from everything he did. he had no accountability. and we had him politicizing literally every agency that he thought was important. the irs. we know what he did with the irs, turning on t. on his political opponents, lois learner, whatever, they are all doing obama's bidding.

and what they did with the fbi and the doj, we know since the time of clinton they have been staffing these agencies, the doj, the fbi and with political operatives who care more about advancing the liberal agenda than they do the rule of law. so we are seeing this, an upside down situation where now there is an investigation of donald trump for something that didn't even occur. and i'm not suggesting. i'm not going to go to so far as to suggest -- >> sean: what should happen from here? >> well, i think that they -- what i hope happens is that we have a counter investigation that someone either appoints a special counsel or that the doj starts to investigate what was going on during the obama -- the obama reign because they were protecting hillary. they tried to influence an election. it's always the left always projects as devin nunes says, what they accuse you of, they were doing. they tried to affect the outcome of the election and it is very corrupt august

the way through what they were doing. >> sean: and they thought they knew better. they helped hillary stay in the game. they covered up and then they advanced all this phony crap to the american people and then used it as a fisa warrant. what should happen? we have 30 seconds each for you guys. how should we proceed, gregg? >> second special counsel to investigate the investigators. they cleared hillary clinton when they knew she had-likely committed crimes. and then. >> sean: there is no doubt she committed crimes. >> conjured up a phony investigation without any evidence, without any indication of a crime being committed to frame donald trump for something he did not do. you have to have a second special counsel. >> i think within the next 60 days you will see the inspector general who has been looking at this for a year. >> do you trust him. >> i do trust him. he sat with myself and trey gowdy. trey and i both believe wholeheartedly in michael horowitz. 450 employees. i think you will have to get rid of the attorney general. he can't do his job. recused out of the most important thing is he supposed to be doing.

>> sean: wouldn't have been here if he hadn't been recused. ed henry exclusive report about a top democrat's communication with a lobbyist for a russian oligarch and the latest on uranium one straight ahead. ♪ ♪

♪ >> sean: ed henry is out with an explosive new report about high ranking democrat mark warner and his contact with a lobbyist for a russian oligarch. the white house chief of staff john kelly don't sent an email to the administration employees about the resignation of rob porter from washington. with all this breaking news we have our own ed henry. ed? >> yeah, sean, you are right. quickly on the kelly story he just put oat a letter the hr department will deal with any counseling issues. this was horrific went rob porter leaving as press

secretary after allegations of domestic abuse. that story is still breaking. meanwhile he mentioned mark warner he has been leading one the probes of president trump's ties to russia. turns out he had extensive contact himself with a lobbyist for a russian oligarch who offered him access, yes to christopher steele. warner texted he would rather not have a paper trail in case he could not seal an agreement with the former british spy. steele has not agreed with an interview with the panel. he began texting this panelist warner did 2017 about getting testimony from russian billionaire oleg deripaska. he had charges he had has ties to organized crime in russia. warner wanted to connect directly with steele though without anyone else being in the loop. at least initially. quote, we have so much to discuss. you need to be careful, warner texted, but we can help our country. waldman texted back early last year, i'm in.

waldman run as firm here in washington which has ties to hillary clinton. waldman noted that steele was concerned about. he texted back we want to do this right, private in london. don't want to send letter yet because if we can't get agreement would rather not have paper trail. that's from mark warner. now, the intelligence committee got these texts from waldman last september i'm told and warner aide acknowledged warner and richard burr, the republican chairman, revealed these texts to their colleagues back then in october because, quote: they real lighted out of context it doesn't look great. but warner and burr gave me an official statement bushing back on this and they say, quote from, the beginning of our investigation we have taken each step in a bipartisan way and we intend to continue to do so. leaks of incomplete information out of context by anyone, inside or outside our committee, are unacceptable. they add the full committee has had access to the material and been briefed on its content and committee investigators have pursued all relevant investigative leads related to this material. waldman by the way did not

return calls seeking comment. evidence signed a $40,000 monthly retainer in 2000 and 2010 on behalf of that russian billionaire. there are reports that deripaska who sued paul manafort over a failed business deal has information to share so far he has not gotten legal immunity so he has not talked to the senate intel committee. had you warner and other democrats scrutinizing the president's ties to russians now obviously these text messages coming out. >> sean: unbelievable. we will continue to follow this story. thank you, ed henry. also big news tonight on uranium one. we are learning that the fbi informant at the center of this scandal in fact told congressional committees that russia paid millions to the u.s. lobbying firm apco worldwide in a bid to influence then secretary of state hillary clinton by helping bill clinton's charities. in a state obtained by fox news, the informant says that russian nuclear officials told him at various times, quote: they expected apco to apply a portion of the $3 million annual lobbying fee it was

receiving from the russians to provide in-kind support for the clinton's global anywhere tia and apco was expected to give assistance free of charge to the clinton global initiative as part of their effort to create a favorable environment to ensure the obama administration made affirmative decisions on everything from uranium one to the u.s.-russian civilian nuclear cooperation agreement. we did reach out to apco for comment. they told us, in part, the allegations are false and unfounded. apco also told us that its volunteer work for the clinton global initiative and its engagement with the russian firm tennex are absolutely not connect you had. last night a clinton spokesman called the fbi informant a charade. joining us now with reaction republican congressman matt gaetz fox news contributor sara carter and welcome back john solomon from the hill. job, let's start with you. >> good evening. >> sean: give you a chance to lay this out. >> most interesting thing is we now have a really complete time line of what

the fbi knew win. we now know before the obama administration made the following decisions restarted the u.s. nuclear cooperation agreement with russia, approved the uranium one deal and then gave clearance so that many utilities in the united states could buy russian uranium, they knew the following things, at least through the fbi. they knew this. one, that russia was assisting iran and their illicit nuclear program. two, that the apco, the lobbying firm. at least the russians were claiming they were paying money to them in an effort to help hillary clinton. three, the very russian arm, in the united states september here to build this uranium business was engaged in bribery, kick backs racketeering and extortion. if you have all of that information, it dolls raise a great public policy question why did the obama administration, hillary clinton state department, the other departments, why did they approve these deals? >> sean: unbelievable there was never any sense to that sara, i see you shaking your head. both you and john have been at the forefront of all of

this. you both know the informant. >> yes. these are thousands of documents, sean, saved from the time he was working with the fbi as an undercover informant. and i stress again, he spent nearly 3 decades working with u.s. intelligence agencies, that includes the fbi on many issues. a number of issues. i want to go back to one point. in april of 2010, is when he informed the fbi of what he found out regarding russia and iran. they were aiding iran with their fabricated assemblies for their nuclear reactors with consultation and with fuel. so the obama administration actually knew that this was going on. there was documented proof. there were recordings. but, yet, in october of 2010, they still went through with the deal. the cfius approved the deal for the sale of the canadian firm uranium one which had 20% of our uranium mining assets in the united states. in wyoming in particular. so we have to ask ourselves these questions. and say if there is an

investigation going to be those investigators at the department of justice to look at the money trail. >> sean: unbelievable. we will learn more about that. both you and john agree. i see you shaking your heads. congressman gates, we don't have enough uranium, congressman. the idea that fbi director at the time mueller knew because we had the informant about bribery, extortion, kick backs, money laundering and this is nearly 18 months before ciacchellaous signs off on the uranium one deal, knowing vladimir putin wanted a foot hold -- foot hold in our industry? it's mind numbing that this could have ever happened? incident indicates, sean you would have to have improper influence to end up with these facts. real question whether or not there is going to be any consequences. clintons are used to having a different standard of justice applied to them than applied to the american people. that's why i filed

legislation with countless other conservative colleagues like mark meadows and jim jordan and todd rokita calling for a special counsel looking into the clinton foundation in uranium one. we can't have mueller investigate he should have raised an objection. we'll can't have rosenstein investigate because we have seen how he is tied up. jeff sessions has recused himself. the only way this doesn't become the next benghazi stir up a bunch of facts but let the clintons off the hook is appoint a special counsel and we need our attorney general. >> sean: you mean separate and apart from the special counsel investigating the investigators. we have so much to get to and so little time. john and sara in particular, i wanted to ask you, will we hear from the informant you both know? john? >> that's a good question. i mean, this interview was a non-transcribed interview with staff, not members of congress. and i would expect that both staffs will meet, decide what he told them and decide whether they want to have a public hearing. i think that's the next step. >> sean: sara, will we hear from him. >> yes.

i believe we will it's strittlely important. that's with his attorney victoria toensing. she will, i think, make it affordable for the american people to see him. >> sean: unbelievable work. we will continue to peel away the layers of the onion here. have you done phenomenal work oimp the last year we thank you for finding truth. i think having a military parade is a great idea and i have reasons why. dr. gorka, darryl parks are next straight ahead. ♪ ♪ rodney -- mastermind of discounts like safe driver, paperless. the list goes on. how about a discount for long lists? gold. mara, you save our customers hundreds for switching almost effortlessly. it's a gift. and jamie. -present. -together we are unstoppable. so, what are we gonna do?
