theeters were a horrible thing, evil thing. leave to it liberals to bring them back. which they have apparently. that's it for us. have the best weekend. we will see you money. sean hannity is next. >> sean: this is a fox news alert, welcome to the special edition of hannity. since the day president trump was elected, the media have been trying to convince you, the american people, that president trump colluded with the russians in order to win the election. we have been telling you there's no evidence, and tonight we have proof. there's still no evidence. now, tooled the special counsel robert mueller indicted 13 russian nationals, three russian companies for engaging in information warfare against the united states and interfering in the 2016 election. now this indictment shows this was widespread, in terms of a russian effort to date back to 2014 during the obama administration, it was meant to sew discord in the u.s. political system.

tonight the president obama and his team have a lot of explaining to do about why they did not act or tell the american people about the russian intrusion into our political process. and also breaking tonight the department of justice is saying that the russian interference did not affect the outcome of the election. and no americans were, quote, witnessingly involved. also nothing in the indictment about trump-russia collusion that continues to prove the media, the left, the democrats have been flat-out lying to you. the daily caller reporting that the demoted department of justice official, bruce orr, did not disclose to ethics officials that his wife was being paid by fusion gps the company that put together the clinton bought and paid for phony dossier filled with russian and russian government lies. also the washington examiner, byron york, is asking why james comey's memos about his conversations with president trump kept secret. here's a hint. congressman trey gowdy has read

them, he said if they were released the memos would help president trump's legal team crush any obstruction of justice narrative. also sarah cart hears huge development tonight about robert mueller's top prosecutor andrew wiseman. sara expotions some very disturbing, unethical behavior by mr. weiseman. we have that and coach more in the breaking news opening night monologue. all right, let's start with what the media will not tell you tonight. some of the biggest news in today's indictment is what is not included. it does not say that donald trump colluded with the russians. it does not say that anybody on the trump campaign colluded with the russians. it does not say that president trump obstructled justice. it does not say that donald trump jr. attempted to collude with the russians. the same goes for lt. general michael flynn and attorney general jeff sessions. the biggest examples of russian collusion for 2016 that we know

about, that we have real concrete evidence of, is, one, hillary clinton, bought and paid for dossier. the one that used russian government sources to peddle russian propaganda, lies, to influence the american people in the past election in 2016. and the other example is that we know to be true, deals with uranium one and vladimir putin and people he had on the ground in america involved in bribery and money laundering and kickback and racketeering schemes took place in this country. we will have more on this later tonight. but first the key points from this indictment. 13 russian nationals, three russian companies, launched the campaign of information warfare. it started back in 2014. and eventually cull my nalted in interfering with the 2016 election. the goal was simple, sew political discord in the united states of america. yeah, no kidding. we have been telling you all

about uranium one, all about the dossier, filled with russian lies. now this is critical. after the election the same russian trolls that attempted to undermine then president-elect donald trump, well they went out there, president trump finally is reacting to this today, they were undermining the president after the election. russia started their anti-u.s. campaign in 2014, long before he announced that he would run for president. he said i. and then the results of the election were not impacted. the trump campaign did nothing wrong, no collusion. the whout white house put out a statement, it is more important than ever before to come together as americans. we cannot allow those seeking to sew confusion, discord, rancor to be successful. it's time we stop the outlandish partisan attacks, the wild false oceans, far fetched they aries that serve to further the agendas of bad actors like russia and do nothing to protect the principles of our institutions.

we must unite as americans to protect the integrity of our elections. what this shows is nothing short of a sophisticated effort by the russians to gain influence in america. now, we have been telling you this, about vladimir putin, about russian operatives, about how they've been involved in sophisticated schemes. we have been going back to as early as 2009. remember, he had people, optatives, on the ground with the purpose of breaking into america's uranium market. we also told you how those russian operatives were involved and we knew it because we had an insider on the ground, fbi infor manlt that, they were involved in bribery, kickbacks, money laundering, rack keering, all in a scheme tied on hillary clinton. now that's the deal with the clinton state department and obama administration. they ignored this fbi investigation. what this informant was telling them was going on in the inside.

and inexplicably they approved in 2010 giving vladimir putin control of over 20% of america's uranium market. we had the informant warning us on the inside the entire time. nobody listened. and the clueless media ignored this russian interference. now, this only matters apparently if the russians are involved, if you can use it to bludgeon president trump politically. sadly, putin and russia were successful in 2010, got the uranium. even though we already have a shortage of uranium in america we have to import uranium. let's get back to the indictment. it lays out allegations that begin in 2014. where russian nationals, they were working together, with a troll farm located in st. petersburg, russia trying to influence the election. why not after they got the uranium. they posed as u.s. persons and creating false u.s. personas, oomented social media pages and

groups to attract u.s. audiences. they staged political rallies while pretending to be american political activists and paid americans in the u.s. to attack certain candidates. this operation at a monthly budge ement of over $1 million, russians operating inside this country. just like they were in 2009. in this case, again, the russians got caught red handed. as we have been explaining, there were no americans, including anybody from the trump campaign, that were involved and these efforts did not impact the election results. here's what the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, said earlier today. >> there is no allegation in this indictment that any american was a knowing participant in this illegal activity. there is no allegation in the indictment that the charge conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election. >> sean: you people in the media that paid no attention to putin

and uranium, pay close attention here. take a listen. >> russians also recruited and paid real americans to engage in political activities, promote political campaigns, and stage political rallies. the defendants and their co-conspirators present tended to be grassroots active interests. the americans did not know they were communicating with russians according to the indictment. after the election, the defendants allegedly staged rallies to support the president-elect while simultaneously staging rallies to pro ternlt his election. -- protest. for example the kefts, onned one rally to support the president elect and another rally to impose -- oppose him, both in new york on the same day. >> sean: both the same day. the russians were organizing rallies and engaging in political activities for both campaigns. after the election they were seeking to undermine then-president-elect donald

trump. here's how it lays out n or around november of 2016 they organized a rally in new york through one organization, control groups, designed to show your support for president-elect donald trump held on or about november 12, 2016. at the exact same time, deflts and their co-responsible spirtors through another organization group organizeled a rally also in new york called trump is 234089 my president held on or about november 1, 2016. similarly, defendants and their co-responsible spirtors organized a rally called charlotte against trump n charlotte, north carolina. held on or about november 19, 2016. this wasn't as one-sided as the mead yeas trying to make it out to be. in fact this indictment continues to prove that the media has been wrong and lying to the american people, no evidence, for over a year now pushing their bizarre conspiracy

they aries about trump-russia collusion. that is nonexistent. you may remember this. >> a dizzying. 4 hours in the russia investigation no, longer just inching toward the president. this morning it is more like careening. >> i think this is a potentially more dangerous situation than watergate. we're at a dangerous moment. that's because we are looking at the possibility that the president of the united states and those around him during an election campaign colluded with a hostile foreign power to undermine the basis of our democracy. >> donald trump is afraid, a political hurricane is out there at sea for him. we'll call it hurricane vladamir, the whole russian thing. >> this is evidence of willingness to commit collusion. >> there's outright troe son, there's no -- treason, no question what he's doing is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. >> they say the election hacking is at the caliber of a pearl harbor or 9/s 1. do you free?

>> i completely agree. >> donald trump now sits at the threshold of impeachment. >> sean: it's been over a year these types of comments without any evidence, facts obviously don't matter to the fake news media. no evidence of collusion. this indictment says no american, no member of the trump campaign wittingly tried to help the russians. a lot of peep people are shocked by the indictment, a gasp from the news media when it came out. why is anybody surprised? that's my question. russian election interference goes back decades. as we have been reporting an fbi informant that is now talking to three separate congressional committees and just the last couple of weeks discovered back in 2009 undercover for six years, all told 30 years in his life, he noticed in 2009 this was an informant, with the fbi, about a plan that vladimir putin had to corner america's uranium market.

this all started in 2009. then he discovered there was bribery, kickbacks, money laundering, racketeering and other types of extortion going o the fbi run by ronald mueller, were being theed every step of the way. and they did nothing. robert mueller has questions to answer. and this informant says russia paid millions to a lobbying firm in an attempt to influence then secretary of state hillary clinton. that company deny the allegations. now, this putin-led operation in 2009, nobody in the media is telling you, started years before, a year and a half before the board, nine obama federal agencies including hillary as secretary of state, eric holder at justice, approved the sale of uranium one. key players involved in that decision, they should have known all this was going on. but they approved it anyway. and the real question is, knowing all of this, knowing putin's efforts in '09 and that

we didn't have enough uranium in america why would all of these agencies and the obama administration, why did they allow russia a hostile foreign entity to take control of 20% of our uranium? the foundational material to make nuclear weapons. we're supposed to be surprised today's indictments? here's the other aspect of all of this, the left, corrupt media won't tell you about. the russian influence campaign, this, they told you about today, goes back to 2014. where the hell is the obama administration? what did they do then to stop this. remember, nbc news reported after the election the obama administration didn't do more to stop russia because they thought hillary was going to win. that's nbc. so in other words it sounds like the obama administration, they were complicit in this, they dropped the ball. and they were definitely in this case more warning signs you can shake a stick at. in april 2016, the house intelligence committee chairman

devin nunes warned america's inability to predict vladimir putin's plans would be the biggest intelligence failure that we have had since 9/11. how sadly roiment he was. barack obama needs to tell you, the american people, what he knew and when he knew it. maybe obama didn't take the russian threat seriously. remember in the 201 election during. debate, he was mocking mitt romney. mitt romney was warning about the russian threat. take look. >> governor romney, i'm glad that you recognize that al qaeda is a threat. a few months ago when you were asked the biggest geopolitical threat you said russia. not al qaeda. you said russia. in the 1980s, now calling to skr for your foreign policy back. the cold war has been over for 20 years. >> sean: a year later putin had his people bribing, extorting, money laundering in america to get involved in our uranium maferkts. given what we know, president

obama and top members of the administration owe you an explanation. hillary owes you an explanation. what this did is a dereliction of duty. they fail to stop a major national security threat. we did reach out to obama's office for comments, shockingly we haven't heard back. another example of russian collusion, is the clin to be bought and paid for -- clinton bought and paid for dossier filled with russian and russian government lies and propaganda. hillary clinton and the dnc shelled out over $12 million to fund this salacious and unverified dossier used as the bulk of information to get a fisa warrant to spy on the trump campaign. the same dossier the republican memos found that the fbi used to lie in that fisa court to get that warrant to spy on a member of the trump campaign. the fbi, fusion gps, nobody verified what was in the dossier, to this day we haven't proven a thing in the dossier. we know that the bulk of that fisa application was made up of a political hit piece document

put together by a former plitish spy, christopher steel, using russian government sources and some of hillary's best friend as sources. now, also breaking, a lot of developments tonight as it relates to the case of bruce and nellie orr. this hugs band and wife duo, we reported after bruce orr high-ranking justice department official passed on the anti-trump field dossier, he gave it to the fbi. it was his wife, nellie, working for fusion gps on the dossier. according to a report in the daily caller, bruce ohr attempted to hide his wife's involvement with fusion gps by not disclosing on required legal ethic forms gel nellie ohr was paid by fusion gps. he listed his wife as cyber security analyst and did not disclose fusion gps in any way. according to the report bruce ohr, quote, did not obtain a conflict of interest waiver from

his superiors at the justice department. was bruce ohr intentionally covering up his wife's involvement for fusion gps and the russian dossier? given that intentionally falsifying government ethics documents results in jail time is mueller's investigation, are they going to charge bruce ohr? don't hold your breath. new information about james comey's memos. byron york washington examiner points out very interesting article with the headline, why are the comey memos secret. byron york is reporting that in july of 2017 the fbi allowed lawmakers see the memo about comey's version of conversations that he had with president trump later leaked to the professor that leaked to the fbi that led to robert mueller. the fbi made sure the information in these memos was severely restricted. why would that be? comey testified under oath that he gave the memos to that friend, they leaked to the "new york times," in the hopes that robert mueller would be appointed as special counsel.

it happened. you would think if those memos were so damning and damaging and explosive and proved obstruction of justice which we hear about, like comey and the media and the democrats claim, why don't we release the memos. they are keeping them secret for a reason. look at congressman trey gowdy, south carolina, skriebld the memos in december. described the memos. >> obstruction of jules advertise was discussed when combo had comey had the memos. they would be defense exhibit a in obstruction of justice case. not prosecution exhibit. defense exhibit a. if comey felt obstructed, he did a masterful job of keeping it out of any of his memos. >> sean: defense exhibit a. the entire so-called scandal with the memo kree amounted by comey, perpetrated by the democrats and the left wing media, absolutely a farce, a mere political tactic.

used to damage president trump and undermine his presidency. all of the comey memos should be released. also tonight while today's indictment showed that mueller is kwon conducting work, there's deeply concerning issues surrounding the team of liberal anti-trump investigators that mueller tapped to lead the probe. mueller's top prosecutor, andrew weissman, mueller's pit bull. we've been reporting on his generous donations to democratic cam pages including thousands to president obama. wall street journal said that he attended 20916 election night victory party for hillary clinton. you can't forget weissmann praised then acting attorney general sally yates for defying. trump's travel ban after he was fired achlt side from weissmann's political bias, the prosecutor has been accused of

employing aggressive, sketchy prosecutorial tactics that led to the impress onment of four innocent merrill lynch executivives. that case was overturned. wiseman's aggressive prosecution's led to the downfall. accounting giant arthur andersen. tens of thousands of people lost their jobs. by the way, the supreme court, they overturned them again 9-0. we also have a brand new damning report, sara carter who will join news a minute, detailing even more misconduct. including a 1997 case about andrew weissmann he was officially reprimanded by the judge for withholding evidence when he failed to disclose that the witness on behalf of the prosecution was also working for years as an fbi infor manlt. this is -- informant. organized crime case n a memorandum the judge reportedly described the conduct as my openic withholding of information, reprehensible and

subject, perhaps, to appropriate disciplinary measures. oh, that's the guy mueller hired? ultimately no such measures were taken, weissmann's name was wiped from the complaint and after an allie fought to remove his name. and he was reported to the department of justice inspector general and senate jukishry committee for -- judisturbry for corrupt legal practices. civil rights attorney david shown called for weissmann to be investigated. we did reach out to the special counsel's office for comments on sara's reporting, shockingly they don't answer our calls. the sum of this is this. the big news today, zero evidence, again, a year-plus, no evidence, that trump, his campaign, colluded in any way, shape, matter, form. we have been telling you this for over a year. shows us the evidence. we want to see it. now it's time for the democrats and the media to finally start telling the truth to you, the american people, about the situation.

that means to tell you about real collusion as it relates to uranium one in 2009. as it relates to why would you allow putin and his optatives to get away with that. number two, re lats to the bought and paid for phony dossier designed to manipulate the american people. tonight we have xree hencive analysis. sara carter, gregg jarrett, dr. good morninger and much more on this special edition hannity breaking news night. ♪ when you have a cold, stuff happens. [ dog groans ] [ coughs and sneezes ] nothing relieves more symptoms than alka seltzer plus maximum strength liquid gels.

>> sean: row action from tojtd's opening monologue, fox news contributor, investigative reporter sara carter. legal analyst gregg jarrett. fos news national security strategist sebastian gorka.

gregg, i'll let you respond. the only thing shocking to me is that anybody is shocked because we have been teg everybody about russia's work influence, dirty deeds in the country for a long time. the rest of the media has been literally ignoring the biggest story in their life if they can open their eyes. >> this shouldn't comes on a surprise to anybody who has read the dni report that came out a year ago in january. which they detail over the course of decades the russians and before them the soviet's efforts to sew discord and disruption and chaos in democracies especially america. why, they're an authorize tearian government that hates democracies. you could hear the grown across the nation from democrats and the liberal media, so disappointed when rosenstein stepped to the podium he said

not a word about trump-russian collusion. the phish has been at it for a year and a half, found not a shred of it. mule hears been at it since last may and apparently hasn't found any evidence of it. don't be surprised by what happened today. this doesn't mean that mueller is shifting away from trump. his eyes are squarely on donald trump f they can't find evidence of collusion, mueller will likely try to pursue a case of obstruction. which doesn't apply. >> sean: let's see the comey memos. he said exhibit a, for the defense, exkwul patry row, lease them. >> i'm sure it is exculpatory. comey was writing them, he didn't envision being fired. he's an arrogant guy and never occurred that he would be. although he certainly deserved to be. >> sean: sara, end of the day, russians actually campaigned for and against donald trump in this whole thing.

what an irony. they wanted to sew discord, just like they were able to manipulate america and the obama administration to get 20% of our uranium everyone else ignores. >> well this is what they do. this is the russian modus operandi, anybody that works in intelligence understands this. this will go beyond the 16-count indictment revealed they were doing it back in 2014 as far as our election system. but i think what we'll discover is that the dossier was also part of their disinformation come pain. campaign. the russians worked to pass disinformation to christopher steele, utilizing fusion gps and the media, journalists and mainstream media, american media, fed into this campaign. they were unwittingly being used by the russians over the past year. that's really a shame. that's something they should have been investigating from the

beginning. this is how russian does this. they were very successful. >> sean: tick-tock, there's a lot more to come about how they were manipulated. how they were engaged with the clinton campaign. dr. gorka my favorite is the day they had a pro trump rally and anti-trump rally in the same city on the same day. speaks volumes. >> what they do, that's what they do, they disrupt other people's democracies. be clear what happened today, sean. 13 russians were dieted and three -- indicted and three legal entities. nothing is going on happen they're russians, we can't extradite them. i have a tip for robert mueller. other people messed with our elections, and they're right here in america. it's hillary clinton. there's the dnc. the fusion gps. and hillary's lawyer. they messed with the election. they stole the candidacy from bernie sanders and then they

gave false information to a fisa court. mr. mueller, if you want to actually put some people in prison, start with the americans that perverted our election here in america. >> not only that, to damage, the damage to the bureau. and to the bureau's reputation. that people within the fbi, now we know, we've seen clear evidence of that, peter struk, lisa paige, james baker, general counsel, people within the fbi who had an agenda. that was not their role. not the polit bureau, not russia. this appears to be how it was run. >> sean: mccabe and comey and strzock and loretta lynch and paige had an agenda? you mean they exonerated hillary? i can't wait for the i.g. report to come out. if the i.g. does his job, that means the fix was, in the process was screwed and it was set up and rigged from kay one. >> we don't have to extradite

them. >> i have talked to four former fbi officials close contact with current fbi agents. and they, the rank and file are angry. they're not angry at the media, they're angry at james comey, andrew mccabe, strzok, paige, the whole gang. high officials in management at the phish. some of the department of the justice. who have shredded the good name and hard work of the people who do the real job and carry a badge and gun and try to protect our lives. >> sean: we are getting to the truth in part without revealing sources and methods to use a phrase of late, because of honest fbi guys. honest people in the intelligence community. sara, i know who our sources are in some cases. dr. gorka as you lock at this and, where do you think this mueller is going? i see a guy that is blind in his ambition, that has hired a team

of dnc obama hillary sicphants out to destroy the president. >> robert mueller, is kworted by his boss only buddy, rod rosenstein, went to the time-out to inther view as director of the fbi with president donald trump. he failed. he different get the interview. the next day, rod makes him special prosecutor, special counsel. don't you any he's got an agenda? absolutely. this is revenge for robert mueller. but we can't let him pervert justice like everybody else on the seventh floor. >> sean: what about andrew weissmann, got beaten by the supreme court overturned 9-0 in the fifth circuit court of appea appeals, this piece, sara, this guy twice has withheld evidence in cases and this is what the "new york times" describes as

mueller's pit bull? why is he there? >> well, because he and mueller have been long-time acquaintances, very close friends, in the general counsel in the fbi under robert mueller. he has a lot of faith in him that he can take a case and run with it no matter what. you would have to ask, you know, special counsel mueller why. because if you look back to 1997, and he was directly reprimanded and then his name was withdrawn from that reprimand. he was going to be reported on the bar. not only did he not to the jury that you know the person that he had, the witness, was an informant for the fbi he also had an fbi agent that was apparently dirty and was indicted later. >> sean: i want robert mueller to sman to america how a guy that withheld evidence in two cases and lost 9-0 in the supreme court, sent people to jail for a year, overturned by the fifth circuit, why was he

ever appointed to be his pit bull? i want that answer tonight. >> a great question. >> so do i. >> robert mueller will never answer it. the answer wouldn't be good. he want admit bull, a guy who would weaponize the law and bend and twist the rules. you could fill volumes with the complaints filed against andrew weissmann and the cases that have been overturned and his repeated attempts successfully to conceal evidence and intimidate with its. >> sean: i could keep you on all night. great job, everybody. we'll absorb all of this and reconvene on monday, have a great weekend. we still have a lot coming up. the fbi admitted today that the bureau received a tip about the florida school shooter last month. this is tip two, they didn't act upon. judge weighs in on that and our load story tonight.

special edition of hanity, following the horivic shootings at the florida high school law enforcement reminded the public if you see something say something. tooled i89 was revealed that last month the fbi failed to act on such a tip. according to a statement a person close to nikolas cruz contacted the bureau's tip line january 5 and provided, quote, information with cruz's gun ownership, a desire to kill people, erratic behavior and disturbing social media posts. following the tip the fbi failed to investigate the information. the vib director, christopher wray responded, saying i am committed to getting to the bottom of what happened in this matter and reviewing processes or responding to information that we received from the public. the florida governor, rick scott, is calling on director wray to resign. the attorney general has ordered an immediate review of the process at the department of justice in the fbi. marco rubio is asking for the same.

here with reaction, the host of kwft justice," judge jeannine piro. i understand everybody is busy. i understand that mistakes with be made. this costs lives. there's no other way to put it. >> sean, this is beyond the pale. when i was a d d.a. i worked with the fbi. what we're seeing in the segments you just completed about investigating russian could lougs and creating documents for warrants that are not legitimate. this is the kind of thing that we're used to hearing about, where the fbi is focused on headlines, and focused on things that really don't affect order americans. now, the rank and file, they do their job, and they're fantastic. >> sean: interest never got to the miami field office, never. >> exactly. when some one says i have information on a kid who has a brunch of guns who is about to

shoot up a school who says i am going to be a professional school shooter, i don't care if you're the fbi or podunk, you put on your instincts and your antenna and you say let me try to find out who nicolas cage is. how people with the name cruz have the name nikolas. 13 in the nation. made a database i could get this information. the fbi were too -- sean, look -- >> sean: remember, you had the other guy, too. that actually got a screen shot of him say ig want to be a professional school shooter. >> right. and the person in louisiana didn't bother to do anything. they didn't have the wherewithal as a real cop to figure out what you have to do. the complaint in january is a perfect example of what happens in the fbi. they do not link up with local

law enforcement, sean, i've seen it for 30 years. why we have 9/11. the fbi didn't talk to the cia and then we have 3,000 people dead. the fbi should focus on what their job is, and what they should be doing as opposed to looking for headlines. >> sean: let's go to today's news, today's indictment. i think that the noise -- the thing that annoys me more than anything else, people like, well, the russians tried to influence the election. well we've been telling everybody about what the russians did with uranium one, we've been talking about hillary's bought and paid for dossier, nobody in the media is covering any of those stories. we have evidence and facts in those cases. and we knew about facebook, we knew about google, we've known this. it started in 2014. >> it started in 2014, this

russian so-called interference. and i'm sure it started even before then. but here's the real crime. the real crime is hillary clinton making $145 million, her his band pocketing $500,000 in cash for the sale of 20% of our uranium. and the real crime is, you look at rod rosenstein. hey, he's in front of the cameras today. why? sean, this press conference was put together on 45 minutes notice. why, because they wanted to cover up, or overshadow, what we found out from the fbi. and where was rod rosenstein with the indictment having to do with russia trying to do everything they can to get our uranium. snl i look at muler's team, obama donors, clinton donors, dnc donors, nobody likes trump. then you look at a guy like andrew weissmann, 9-0 supreme court, people go to jail for a year, tens of thousands lose their job, he's the pit bull.

i want to know why robert mueller appointed that man and the rest of these dnc donors and trump haters. >> robert mueller is not looking for an objective team, robert mueller is looking for people with an agenda against donald trump. robert mueller is the person who should be being investigated given the fact he was the head of the fbi when this attempt to find the uranium started. >> sean: we had an informant, that's a great point. >> he knew all about it. he's investigating donald trump? he should be the one being investigated. he was the one who knew what way going on, why and how they were trying to get our uranium. now he's looking to create a problem with donald trump some we should stop talking about russian collusion, it's a bunch of hogwash. >> sean: they aren't talking about it any more. >> put their evidence where their mouth is, maybe then we'll talk about it. >> sean: thank you, judge.

don't miss "the judge" tomorrow night, tune in for justice. the liberal media have done a great disservice to you, the american people, and not digging for the truth, they don't want the truth, they have an agenda. you know who knows? sean spicer, explains next. heartburn. no one burns on my watch! try alka seltzer ultra strength heartburn relief chews. with more acid-fighting power than tums chewy bites. mmmmm...amazing. i have heartburn. ultra strength from alka seltzer. enjoy the relief.

>> sean: welcome back. special edition of hannity. all throughout the russia collusion investigation the modia has done a great disservice to you, using the platform, powerful platforms to attack the president. they didn't dig for the truth. here with reaction former white house press secretary sean spicer. identify don't know how you did that job. i don't know how sarah sanders does the job. i would not be able to do that job.

it would be entertaining for about a day. and wouldn't end well. but serious note, when you have russian collusion, and hillary paying for a russian dossier, to lie to the american people, don'tly unverified, used for a fisa want, the bulk. information unverified. you have the 2009 issue of putin operatives in the united states committing kroims trying to get who the uranium market. we ignore it, even though we had an informant. how is it possible that the press only cares about trump russia and nothing else russia? >> well, that's because that's what they've been doing forever. if it's against the republican or conservative they go full bore, find any threat on it and tag out f it's staring in the face democrat or clinton they'll walk away it from. peter schweitzer, wrote an

entire book on it. . it's all laid out there, all of the money, all of the actions, you will of the people involved. it's like, you know, made for a great interview, once, then everyone moved o if we're going to talk about russia and collusion and interaction and money and all that, i think that there's a road map for what the clintons did that's interesting. just because she lost the election doesn't mean the crime or potential crimes should be ignored. >> sean: well, i mean, that's the whole point here, really, did they care about the truth or is it, they only care about the narrative that hurts the president. i watched this dog and pony show every day, you did it, then sarah is doing it every day, i don't know what the purpose of it is at some point. sarah can give a statement and say that's all i have to say and keep going. >> i said this over and over again during high time there and since then, the briefing used to serve a purpose, that -- actions

or policy or personnel decisions that occurred. in loou of when the president can -- leou. they ask the time question over and over again. despite the fact they got the answer they want to get their clip on television or to be able to show it to their audience. it's not about getting information any more, it's not about informing a public. it's about making "you tube" stars out of all of the folks come in day in and day out. one of the things that is important, what you're getting at, it's not just what they cover it's what they don't cover. we talk about the president but i think that joy behar's attack on the voice president's christianity and faith is just despicable during this holy season of lent. no one in the media found it deplorable that she went and did that. it was the voice president who had to respond himself, and defend himself, instead of

having any other member -- or joy behar and say that was over the line. >> sean: that's the point. and i just know that if a conservative says one thing one word one sentence one phrase, the reaction is like, oh, you know, the outrage, no revising and extending remarks, apologizing if you were wrong and misstate something. >> yeah. and, look, i said six years with the rnc, little tommy, west jefferson middle school was running for treasurer said something offensive the rnc got called about what our comment was. the answer was that's not what they meant. >> sean: do you see that the media is complicit, after all that time you spent as press secretary, you don't have to answer if you don't want. are they complicit? are they, do you see them totally in the tank for one side as i do? >> i think most. i don't like to loop everybody

in on the same broad brush. there are good folks there that really try to pursue good journalism and the truth. but i think there are some that i'll num rate in my book that's coming out. that's what they should be praised. there are folks you mentioned who are more interested in getting clicks and becoming a star. but when was the last time jim acosta broke any news? his entire career is made out of the exchanges and the yelling he has and the level of obnoxious that he reaches to as opposed to the news that he breaks and the information he shares. >> sean: all right, sean spicer, thank you. we appreciate it. more hannity after the break.

the more you know the the commute is worth it.me, for all the work you pour into this place, you sure get a lot more out of it. you and that john deere tractor... so versatile, you can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. it's a longer drive. but just like a john deere, it's worth it. nothing runs like a deere. now you can own a 1e sub-compact tractor for just $99 a month. learn more at your john deere dealer.

>>i have a homework assignment for everyone else in the media. if you're so shocked that russia tried to influence the election, go read and learn about what

happened with uranium. go learn something about the dossier. clinton paid for it, full of russian and government lies. we have so much more on monday. have a great weekend. thanks for being with us. laura ingraham is up next. >> good evening from washington. thank you for watching the ingraham angle. we have a huge day of news. you're not going to want to miss a minute. this special prosecutor announces a new round of inindictments. and it might not be who you think. and the governor of florida is calling for an fbi director to resign. and the media blow a gasket after my criticism of nba star king james. is that what he calls -- lebron james. i'm going to respon
