masculinity. they announced the kenya grant was outright. minor victory but we we can celebrate. judge jeanine is in for sean. ou monday. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> judge jeanine: welcome to this special edition of hannity, democratic scandals. i'm jeanine pirro in for sean tonight. liberals are reeling from a rave of calamities that could have serious consequences. republicans are calling for a second special counsel to investigate the fbi's handling of the clinton email probe. congressman devin nunes continues to expose severe fisa abuses and former obama officials are facing new scrutiny. but, first, tonight, we start with the major battle raging between the trump administration and the liberal state of california.

the department of justice now looking into a possible obstruction of justice charge against the mayor of oakland. this comes after the mayor alert you had illegal immigrants in the california bay area that federal immigration authorities were preparing to conduct raids. the acting ice director is slamming that mayor of oakland. take a look. >> what she did is no better than, you know, a gang lookout yelling police. when a police cruiser comes in the neighborhood, except she did it to the entire community. i mean, it's beyond the pale. i have been doing this for 34 years. this is a whole new low to intentionally warn criminals that law enforcement is coming. being a law enforcement officer is already dangerous enough. but to give the criminals a heads up that we're coming in the next 24 hours, increases that risk. puts -- you are talking about these are american heroes. strap a gun to the hip every day to defend this nation. and to tell the criminals we are coming in the next 24 hours is just incredible. >> judge jeanine: the head of ice is also saying because of the mayor's

warning about 800 criminal illegal immigrants escaped ththe arrests. still able to detain 232 suspected illegal immigrants in four-day raid. according to ice, 115 of the people arrested had, quote, prior felony convictions for serious for serious violent offenses. despite these facts the mayor of oakland is actually defending her decision to protect and shield illegal immigrants. here's what the mayor wrote on twitter. i do not regret sharing this information. it is oakland's legal right to be a sanctuary city and we have not broken any laws. we believe our community is safer when families say stay together. president trump also appears to be fed up with california sanctuary policies. he recently threatened to pull ice and border patrol

agents from the state because california is refusing to cooperate with the federal government on immigration enforcement. take a look. >> we are getting no help from the state of california. frankly, if i wanted to pull our people from california, you would have a crime nest like you had ever seen in california. all i would have to say is ice and border patrol. let california alone, you you would would be inundated and see crime like nobody has ever seen crime in this country. yet, we get no help from the state of california. >> judge jeanine: here now with reaction from the center for immigration studies jessica vaughn, immigration attorney francisco hernandez and former deputy assistant to the president and fox news national security strategist sebastian gorka. all right. good evening, all. i'm going to start with you, jessica. >> thank you, your honor. >> judge jeanine: is it a protection of citizens to prevent ice agents from doing their job for which

they have legal authority? >> well, no. citizens want our immigration laws enforced. and isis targets, as you mentioned are felons. criminals, gang members, people who have been deported before. people who have been immigration violaters multiple times. and they were going after the criminals. ice would much rather arrest them in the jails but cities like oakland prevent ice from doing that. they tell the law enforcement agencies they can't cooperate and that's why these criminals are on the street to begin with. because ice would have arrested them earlier if they could. and now they have got to go out into the community to do so and. >> judge jeanine: so it's more dangerous. so it's more dangerous for everyone. >> absolutely. you know, francisco hernandez, you are an immigration attorney. >> yes. >> when the oakland's mayor says we believe our community is safer when families stay together, does kate steinle and her ability

now that she is 6 feet under to stay with her family, does that enter into the mayor's mind at all? >> well, it can't. there is no such thing as a sanctuary city is a political phantom, your honor. you know that. >> judge jeanine: no, i don't. >> no city or county can oppose the federal government. you are telling me that ice can catch 800 people at the same time but they are snichesd out by a mayor? i mean what kind of secret was it? and why haven't they picked them up before? they have been deported before and they were in the jail. why didn't they hold them then? guys, this is -- you know what? we were on the cusp of immigration reform. we thought everyone was on the same page but the shooting in florida, okay, now, have you got the president craw fishing. >> judge jeanine: i don't want to go into florida right now. dr. gorka, let me ask you this, because the mayor said something, you know, that really doesn't make a difference. what do you think? >> well, just read the mayor's tweet. i hope this woman didn't have any legal training. she said it's the city's

rights. cities don't have rights. u.s. citizens have rights. and the city has responsibility to protect them. the mayor of any city has no power when it comes to immigration. that's a use of will federal authorities. she said families have to be protected. guess what, al capone had a family. so did pablo escabar. not all families are good. >> judge jeanine: here's the problem. and jessica, i'm going to go to you on this now. if federal law enforcement agents are forced to into a city without having the assistance of locals or at least the identification of where these illegal felons and remember. >> they don't need it. >> judge jeanine: francisco, wait a minute, the truth is if they are being hidden or not at the addresses and i have done enough warrants and i have had a whole team of cops that work for me. >> you have your honor. >> judge jeanine: what you are saying, is, we are going to give them a heads up so they can never be arrested.

now the feds have to come in and get involved in a middle of a society where people are trying to live safely where it could have ban accommodated very easily by the locals and the feds working together to arrest a convicted felon. jessica? >> is there a question there, your honor? >> judge jeanine: yeah, there is i'm going to get to you a in a minute so hang on. >> in 90% of the country. ice does its work of deporting criminals by arresting them in the jail. they don't get that kind of cooperation in california. and particularly in oakland. that's why these criminal aliens were on the street to begin with. >> seriously? >> ice does depend on cooperation from state and local law enforcement for an operation like this. they don't want to get shot at by a police officer that doesn't know they're in the neighborhood doing this kind of operation and perhaps that's where the mayor got tipped off. who knows. but she is also basically telling people to resist arrest you this is absurd

also. this has consequences. >> no. >> there are people that maybe harmed. >> judge jeanine: there is no question. >> took the mayor's warning let me go to francisco. wait a minute, francisco. >> yes or no, you are right. >> judge jeanine: do you know what the definition of obstruction of justice? >> i am. >> judge jeanine: definition of obstruction of justice is when someone obstructs or impedes the administration of law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any agency in the united states. to me, obstructions of justifiable is what this mayor should be charged with. >> if ice knows that this mayor runs with supposedly is a sanctuary city, and the secret gets out to her, what kind of a secret do we have

ice and department of homeland security. >> missing the point. >> the state gets the information from the federal government. >> judge jeanine: i don't care if she assists them. i care if she obstructs them. go ahead, sebastian. >> again, your guest isn't answering the point here. the mayor is treating illegal immigrants as a protected class they are not protected class. they are illegal immigrants and more than 150 of them serious violent. when does a mayor protect people that have convicted serious felonies. >> if they have been convicted why haven't they picked them up yet. >> judge jeanine: mayors like this mayor is hiding them and alerting them. come on, san francisco, you know better than that and not only that. the locals, wait a minute. >> jesse: ca. wait a minute, jessica. pause the locals are letting them out the side door when they know ice is coming. >> it is impossible. they got immigration. >> feds cannot protect american citizens.

>> your honor, your honor, you know that is a lie. >> judge jeanine: i know what i know. don't tell me what i know it is true. >> that's true. >> judge jeanine: don't come on this show and tell me what is true and what isn't true. go ahead, jessica. >> it's not true. it's a lie. >> oakland, san francisco and the entire state of california does not cooperate with ice. they release criminal aliens that ice has identified through biometrics deportable from the country but they refuse to allow ice to come and pick up these individuals. that's why they are on to begin with. >> absolutely a lie. >> why is that a lie? >> it was federal policy. catch and release. >> you are telling me the city did k. disable the federal government. a city jail can disable the federal government and keep them from picking somebody up. they do it every day. drug dealers, drug traffickers they do it everyday. >> judge jeanine: i used to send my guys out all the time to make arrests. we would break through the doors at 45:00 in the morning. if they aren't there because

they got a tip then i can't arrest them. >> for president. >> under obama, it was federal policy from the top down. catch and release. even at the border and encouraging the creation of sanctuary cities. that's what we have had for eight years. it stopped on january the 20th. these people are aiding and abetting criminals. >> did you forget that president obama deported 2.5 million. >> that's fallacious. >> judge jeanine: last question to you, when the governor jerry brown says we protect all of our people from criminals, and we defend everyone who comes here for a better life. >> did not say that. >> she did say that jerry brown. >> did not. >> judge jeanine: wow. >> obviously the citizens of california need some sanctuary from their legislature and their governor and from mayors like this because they are creating public safety

hazard by releasing criminal aliens every single day who go out and prey again on everyone in the community. >> california has trumped the federal government. >> judge jeanine: yeah, that's right. they have. and they are going to be accountable for it now, what do you say if the president does what he threatened to do and that is take all the ice agents out and then you guys can deal with them until you beg for the ice agents to come back. >> yeah. well, that's genius. that's pure genius. have you all not figured out that president trump is a new york liberal? from new york. he has never even lived in california. i mean, come on. >> 8% drop in illegal migration southern border since he was inaugurated. right. >> nothing to do with, you know, immigration is an issue that crosses traditional party lines. this is -- this is a matter of california politicians not being happy with american citizens and wanting to create a new

electorate for themselves. >> bingo. >> that's what this boils down to. >> judge jeanine: all about demographics. all right. in response california governor jerry brown told cnbc and california we protect all our people from criminals and in the state of the state the democratic governor issued a strong we buick. so there have you it for saying he never said it. now, i'm going to end. >> he didn't. show me the quote. >> judge jeanine: come on. i'm going to give you the opportunity, 30 seconds, tell me why what the ice agents are doing should be blocked by local politicians in california. >> ice does not need the assistance of cities, states or counties. can i do the job. let the troops do what they do. the troops know what they do. the problem is with politics and you got everybody craw fishing. we were on the cusp of immigration reform deciding though gets to stay and who gets to government. now, nobody wants to touch it because we have got the gun issue. everybody is craw fishing. both sides.

>> wait a minute, are you telling me all of the sudden the liberals could care less about the dreamers because they were more worried about guns? president trump said i will give 1.8 million path to citizenship. triple what obama did. now you want to say that trump didn't do his job? you answer. >> i'm in i told mr. hannity do it. >> your guest was absolutely correct. why would you do this as a mayor? there is one reason. they want to change the demographics and they want to have new voters made out of these illegal aliens. that's the end of the message. we want to create a new voting block. it's nothing to do with safety. it's politics and it is a. >> they can't vote. >> judge jeanine: they can't vote? >> watch my show tomorrow night and you will hear how they are all voting. >> it didn't happen. >> judge jeanine: coming up, congressman matt gaetz on why a second special counsel is needed to investigate the clinton email probe and potential fisa abuses. stay with us.

him, ah. oh hello. that lady, these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don't forget about them. uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party. >> judge jeanine: welcome back to this special edition of hannity. >> welcome back to this special edition of "hannity." a highly anticipated report is expected to identify leaks in the clinton foundation. it's also expected to get in the clinton investigation.

this comes after letters were sent is jeff sessions to investigate the fbi and the justice department's investigation. good evening, congressman. >> good evening, judge. >> you are renews the request for a special council. most are asking for it. >> the last time you said you wanted to see people led lead in

handcuffs handcuffson -- handcuffs. we condition take the sacrifice we learned and have prosecutions. my fear is if we don't have a special council it will turn into the benghazi evacuation. >> from the approach from the redance and and the fbi director saying we have will look at it, it seems to pe this is impossible, they said everything but we dare you because we're not doing anything any way be.

>> to your point, if we had not had congressional we'd not know about the bias. you mentioned andrew mccabe earlier. his testimony in closed session showed me hillary clinton was never put in jeopardy because she had people running interference for at the d.o.j. >> what do you say to those saying they're tired of the clinton investigation. >> if we allow that we have a

chance to change that. >> what are the chances of a second special council? >> that's up to jeff sessions. >> he tells the president i'm recusing myself. we can expend none other year and a half on on an inspecter general. >> you're right. even if we learn more horrifying things we can't prosecute because we'd need somebody to bring that case and the

department of justice won't bring that to themselves and he needs to appoint a special second council. >> he said he was considering that, whatever it was, me gave us mope. the president didn't appear to get rid of sessions and his senator friends will say it's a does the night massacre. does america keep moving? >> remember, some people didn't want to release the nunez memo

and we got it because the american people need to back up what we're fighting for a special second council so people are thrown in jail for the crimes committed the trump investigation. >> had >> you guys are pushing hard on this. have you sat down and said what is the problem here? >> i sat down with with bob goodlatte and disappointed the attorney general wasn't engaged on the existential threats. they answered to rosensteins and he authorized the wiretaps based on the department of justice

knew what false. i think we need a more engaged attorney general. >> was he rosenstein's chief of staff? >> it was the members of the reese -- rosenstein. i believe he's not fulfilling his duties. >> joining us is fox news contributor tammy boothe and lisa boothe. very interesting, lisa. any information is the attorney general won't meet in an without

rosenstein or rosenstein's staff and he defers to them for answers. >> perhaps he doesn't want the appearance of impropriety. i am curious what will come out. he had a solid industry of going after government agencies leading to shake up and going after the dea and the colombia

prosecution candle and that can be the impetus for another special counsel there. >> in some ways i think we see scandal after scandal and it wouldn't be surprising when we look at whomever you look it's not only corruption and collusion but late -- blatant and sloppy and we must push. the inclination is it's too big or shocking but this is our

chance of cleaning up the government. >> you are looking and reading the same things we're reading. ergo, he's not doing anything? >> his body was the senate. i'm a big fan of jeff sessions but maybe he thought would be more bureaucratic. and even with him trying to keep it tamped down like in the mccabe session, if you wake up in the morning there's a new scandal because it's finally all coming out. >> all right, lisa, how do you

take that it's so shocking the attorney will add something? in the james rybicki says we found a lot of new e-mails but nothing to change our on conclusion and i say take him out in cuffs. the problems is americans have lost trust in administrations. . when you see the text agents with peter strzok involved with the russia investigation. i think to get more trust

american to trust institutions. >> the fact we're getting information the american people would have never seen and it's about manching that. jeff sessions is not clearly managing it well. we have the courage to deal with it and the american people have to act. jeff sessions wants to be the attorney general. ultimately you have to care because it's the collapse, you if you will, as being used as political cadual.

>> if he believes he can clean it up and be the hero. >> americans will hopeful. spoet spoet he was not forced to talk to congress -- multiple

>> he got to support everybody asking and members of the house of representatives because that's the only way we can support it. how do viewers say i want this to happen? >> e-mail, phone call, your own forums, twitter, they watch, they know and feel it. >> they do. up next, sarah carter on new information on the phony russian dossier. don't go away. b

>> judge jeanine: welcome back to this special edition of hannity. no >> welcome back to this special edition of "hannity." house committee chair devin

nunez accused the fbi of possibly using the sealed dossier to surveil trump associates. joining me is greg jarret. good evening. the thing that i don't understand is why i haven't heard anything about a fisa judge calling the department of justice into their chambers to say how dare you put this political garbage in pront of me and contempt of court by ledging this is surveillance. >> i suspect we'd know about it if they had, and if they did,

they're breaching their duties. the judges should be demanding saying you con veecealed eviden. you didn't tell me this with us paid for by the hilary campaign or you knew christopher steele was a liar. i would have never granted a warrant to surveil an american citizen. >> where people say a few -- fisa warrant, whether in the last 90 days, what reasonable cause have you developed is that would allow the continuance of te warrant? >> they have to have probable

document. they veil -- violated, fraud, conspiracy to crit fraud and ob suctionson obstruction. >> so sarah carter. you're giving us kid bits and facts that lead us to the next 24 hours. >> back to the court real kick. the judge of the secrete court said look, we don't object formally or informally.

we told you both times to releasing the applications on carter page. i feel they say we'll allow them if the executive branch allow us. before the public i think the letter was highly significant. >> so the fisa judge says she has no problem. >> that means jeff sessions who's not really the attorney grand jury it's rob rosenstein. he's concealing the illegal ac s committeded by the fbi.

i agree the president should instruct them to disclose the information. it's i myth and kinard there's a fire call. >> if the president is agreeable why doesn't he just get it from the judge? >> separation of powers. it would be a political quagmire. >> it's amazing the presiding justice said i'm ready. sarah, the second point? >> the department of justice is arguing one thing. they know everybody's coming down on jeff sessions. they're saying let michael horowitz do his over the fbi.

they argue if they bring in a special counsel and prosecutors, they'd have to take fbi able enters and they may just be out out. they may have to reach out to the postmaster general to get those who aren't up to speed. >> the out the is we need the inspector general to continue when they have no grand jury, no ability to prosecute. they're taking forever now. they decent have sufficient investigators? that's hogwash. >> you bring in a second council

to compel people to testify with a grand jury. you can do it efficiently. i know former fbi agents who would be more than happy to record to a special second counsel and get a joe dedenova. >> and the idea all the fbi able -- agents that would be conflicted. >> there are people in the bureau outstanding and willing to do is. i think there's going to be a lot of eyes wide open soon.

>> coming up, geena lauden and own the attempt to divert attention from democrat scandals. stay with us. b

>> welcome back to this special edition of "hannity." the democrats are embroiled in several scandals. there's something negative about the administration. for example, take a look at the coverage over the past two days.

>> reports are things are getting nasty. >> we're talking about a conspiracy to unlawfully affect an election. >> jared kushner, is there a quid pro quo. >> do you think it will hurt him? >> yeah, i think it already has. >> chief economic adviser has threatened to refine. jared kushner no longer has

access to top secrete. his closest con -- con iffidant leaving. >> i think scoe scarborough said donald trump's loyalty only extends to his family but they can't keep their story straight. >> there's an old expression, tell the truth it's easier to remember. it makes me angry because what the president has accomplished is historic.

imagine if a democratic president had black and latino unemployment levels at the lowest in record and markets as the highest level. the media would rather see america fail and it's sing and wrong. >> thank you truth is we have a president accomplishing so much. to me one of the biggest things is tax cuts reflected in people's pay checks. people can see this stuff. they are so convinced this man is the epitome of evil.

i can't comprehend it. >> it does seem like utter in sanity. they're the real colluders because the media knows the more they're active the more president trump is on the right path. the stride for women and the supreme court. so many things and moving-i think we'll see massive shifts from the rust belt to union people. multiple ethnicities will look at how the president has changed

their lives. >> this conspiracy to influence the election. nothing has come up in the last 18 months. all we heard is donald jr. had a meeting and he said thanks, so much, good-bye. now it's a federal finance. it's absurd. i think the american people see this and react. it's like new york and california are like they're nuts. >> i call it destination journalism. they're trying to write the story backwards. don jr. took a single meeting with zero follow-up that's results in unnecessary behavior

from congress. i don't understand why the house congressmen are continuing. and the american people want results and an infrastructure bill. if anyone colluded it was hillary clinton. >> and in the last 15 seconds he took all the cash and they're telling me. thank you for being with us charlie geena. coming up, more "hannity" after the break. how do they avoid trips to the post office? stamps.com mail letters ship packages all the amazing services of the post office right on your computer get a 4 week trial plus $100 in extras
