>> this is a fox news alert. welcome to special breaking news coverage. >> tucker: tucker carlson will continue. is this major, breaking news on the eve of his retirement the justice department announcing that former fbi deputy director andrew mccape has been tornadod by the attorney general jeff sessions the second-in-command is accused of leaking intelligence to the media and lis leading investigators over the hillary clinton probe. president trump is said to be watching the case closely. he was on twitter suggesting that mccape should not get a full pension and trying to see whether the attorney general

would go forward. the latest on the justice department, the fbi and all of the action. former deputy director pension said to be $1 spoken 8 million was set to take effect at 12:01 sunday morning. he was fired tonight. jeff sessions wrote "the department provided allegations of misconduct by andrew mccabe to the fbi office of responsibility. the fbi opr reviewed the report and underlying document issues anded a disciplinary proposal. recommending the dismissal of mr. mccabe. as the opr proposal. all fbi employees know lacking candor under oath results in dismissal and our integrity is

our brand, based on the report now, the inspector general i have terminated the employment of andrew mccabe effective immediately. >> now mccabe is not taking this quietly. in the his own statement. he's fighting back as well he might. he is no doubt worried about criminal prosecution or perhaps a lawsuit in the future to, gain his pension back. he writes "for the last year and a half my family and i have been the targets of an unrelenting a assault on our reputation and my service to the country. articles two numerous to count have leveled every false, defamtory degration. the president tweets have amplified and exacerbated it all. he called for my firing. the oig focus on me became part of an unprecedented part of the administration, driven by the president myself to remove me from my position. destroy my reputation and possibly strip me of a pension i

work 21 years to earn. the accelerated release of the report and the punitive actions taken in response make sense only when viewed through this lens. this attack on my credibility is one part of a larger effort, not just to slander me personally but to taint the fbi, law enforcement, and intelligence professionals more generally. ". >> so, what do we have here now? >> we have a major league washington mess on our hands. whenever divisions existed between the two parties and congress will likely grow deeper now. with republicans calling for a second special council. itplycates the mission of the first special council and sets up competing prosecutions with muller pongsly investigated by a second council, whomever that may be, indeed it happens as some republicans want it to happen. it does by attorney general jeff sessions some time. it had been rumored his head was on trump's chopping block. this may have spared him. absolutely vital to any resolution of this ongoing

warfare is the public release of the ig report, which sparked this firing in the first place. it is expected to be released any day now. the inspector gem is respected. known to be thorough, and fair and long-time analysts say there must be more in this report that is yet undisclosed. further damaging evidence of mccabe's wrongdoing to have resulted in such a punitive outcome as this. the loss of mr. mccabe's 21 years of pension. worth an estimated again $1.8 million. >> a lot of people waiting for that report. doug, thanks for that live report. now reaction breaking news that attorney general jeff sessions has terminated the former fbi director. let's bring in the senior advisor to the donald trump 2020 re-election campaign and bernie carrick with the law enforcement perspective. mercedes countien a criminal defense attorney and fox legal analyst and jesse weber at the

law and crime network. thank you for coming in especially late on a friday, now into early saturday in the east. i want to start with you katrinaa. the trump campaign has to look at this and wondering what comes next here? because the bottom line is the president and people around him, as you know better than anyone have been demanding accountability from the fbi and the justice department? >> absolutely. you know the trump campaign is moving forward. this whole thing started with this investigation of wanting to essentially get donald trump out of office. we're seeing new a lot of this backlash go right against the people that wanted to hurt the president. you know when i see the words mccabe writes about being slandered and defamed. what has been happening to the president and his family this entire time. when you see what's happening tonight, there's a lot of reflex going on. i would assume that andrew mccabe is looking back and asking himself a couple of questions. we have so many individuals

within the fbi and the doj who have not only sacrificed their integrity, put a blemish on their respective agencies, but also rived their integrity and for what is this and i think that is one question that's being asked of himself tonight? >> jesse i want to bring you in, because you have to wonder whether or not andrew mccabe. this was suggested by one of our experts is putting together a legal team from a legal standpoint and will demand his pension and try to get some restitution? >> it is a great question. we can't forget that federal civil service employees their level of recourse is a little different from normal employees fired, but doesn't mean he can't file a lawsuit. what he would have to show is this firing went by a procedure so egregiously wrong that violated his constitutional rights to due process. now, if it is true he dismislead investigators, if it is true he

wasn't forth coming and he did direct people to disclosures to the media when they shouldn't have, then he's not looking so good. however, the best recourse for him is to try to show that this firing was the result of pressure on jeff sessions from the white house. specifically president trump. >> the president has tweeted about that. it is out there to be considered, at least. >> that would be his best avenue. >> this may not be the extent of the trouble for andrew mccabe. losing his job. losing his pension, which may be fought out. there's a possibility of criminal charges, whether he i will to congress. whether he i will to investigators at the justice department. this could be a much bigger deal. >> exactly right. that's really what's at risk. aside from his pension that may be at risk. it is whether he will be criminally prosecuted. it is academic. he's a seasoned lawyer. he is out 20 plus years. he's an attorney. it is ackic, if you lie under oath. it is perjury.

we have seen it with other individuals within the administration that have had those proceedings against them. obviously mike anyone is one of them. it could fall on his doorstep and will boil down to what is in the investigation? what's in the report? and whether it is criminal charges. >> when mercedes invokes the name of michael flynn facing charges of lying to the fbi. our producers looked at least 17 fbi personnel have been fired in recent years for lack of candor and were not officially under oath. just in some employee setting they were lacking candor. >> they made a false statement. >> my question d michael flin was charged for making a falls statement to the fbi. to the opr.

office of professional responsibility,. >> theirern ternal affairs bureau or to the inspector general he could be subbed to the same criminal prosecution that clinton was. >> this is what infuriates people lower level fbi officials. they make a false statement. their whole lives are destroyed. in the case of andrew mccabe, he says it is unfair. it is donald trump trying to shut me up. there should be equal justice. >> it should be equal. they all go by the same book, the same policies, same procedures. he would be no different. if the attorney general is right, if his at the same time is right, then he has a problem and he may have a bigger problem, depending on what is in the i.g. report and what the opr found in the their investigation. >> it is happening in a broader context. james comey trying to tell his side of the story. ending a week on one hand house

republicans say they're ending their investigation of russian collusion without finding in evidence and 48 hours there was a breaking news that robert muller the special council was seeking more information from the trump organization. looking into the president business dealings. where are we in all of this? >> what's interesting, one of your previous guests mentioned something about russia collusion. we don't know ed muller will find it. here's what we know andrew mccabe has been accused by an office of his peers forgiving out information without authorization. we also know that james comey admittedly leaked information to the press. we know as mentioned earlier many of the agents and respective agencies abused their power. the house intelligence committee has identified that issue. so if there was there, there. we would already know that now. because they hate this president so much. they hate the fact that they lost despite all of the efforts

put in place. we would know if there was any evidence of collusion. the fact is there isn't. that's why we know the muller investigation is in fact a witch-hunt and the fact that they're not even talking about the campaign is going after the president previous place of business. it is a farce. it is unacceptable and something has to be done. that's why we need a second special council to find out what's going on. >> mercedes from the legal standpoint where are we in this? >> it is just the beginning. >> because the trump attorneys have been saying they think this will be over soon it. seems like it will be gone. >> it is just beginning. first you will have the civil suit. you will start with presumably, if mccabe comes forward ask sees his pension is at risk. he will do something affirmatively. when you read his statement. he is teeing up a slander suit, which can be set sovereign immunity if he tries to sue the government. he could say he was defamed and teed it up in his statement and

boils down to let's take a look at the report. what is within that report? if it is sufficient to launch criminal charges and academic. it is 101 percentagery. . >> you mention quickly michael flynn lying to the fbi. and manforecharges all of that. still no evidence of collusion. >> no, no collusion. the house said it. even the prosecutions, even the indictments that muller has had so far. 13 russians that tried to interfere with the election on both sides. the democratic and the republican. and the muller was very clear. rod rose's team is very clear it had no impact on the election at all. it had nothing to do with donald trump. >> bernie, mercedes, jesse, katrinaa thank you for joining us. if you have not gotten enough of this breaking story. i have to get sleep 6:00 am

♪ ♪ >> the fate of andrew mccabe retirement is in the hands of jeff sessions. the fbi office of profession responsibility says mccabe deserves to be fired for letting agents speak to the press about the hillary clinton e-mail investigation and then misleading the fbi about it. but that recommendation won't

matter on sunday, when mccabe will be able to retire at the age of 49 with full pension benefits. but if sessions fires him first, then he could lose that pension. jonathan thurlly is a professor at george washington university law school. he joins us now, jonathan, i can't recall anything quite like this pension death watch that we're on for this guy mccabe. how do you think it is going to go? >> well, i think the odds are against him for one reason only. it is exceedingly rare. for the office of professional responsibility to make this type of recommendation. it is probably unprecedented for this particular position, such a high-level individual to be fired just literally days, finance hours before he retires. it is something that is rare it. will be difficult for the

attorney general to ignore. remember the attorney general sessions i thought correctly recused himself when career officers said we think you should. now career officers are saying we think you should fire mccabe. it is inconsistent with the earlier position he will be inclined to carry out the opr recommendation. >> you make a broader point though. the fbi has extraordinary powers over us. if we lie even carelessly and harmlessly, and in something that isn't even a criminal matter to them, but that if we don't do something about mccabe we're teaching the lesson that federal justice officials can put us in jail for lying to them, as they did to martha stuart, but they can lie to us with impunity. it is the difference between ruleez and rules. >> unfortunately that has not the rule in washington.

it is sort of an animal farm environment. search equal, but some are more equal than others. justice department officials are rarely charged with violations. it creates to the disadvantage of mccabe a glaring disconnect. michael flynn was charged with misleading investigators, according to some reports comey's investigators found that he wasn't intentionally trying to lie. but he was ultimately charged. here you have mccabe, who investigators found or believed that he was trying to mislead them. he's looking at a pension change as opposed to prison. >> as has been pointed out mike flynn was basically lying over whether he discussed something with a russian diplomat, which isn't even a crime anyway. he's being threatened with jail time for misremembering in a conversation with an fbi guy. isn't what mccabe did, where you have these weird conspiracy

texts. the ones that sound as if they're at least playing over silent cue possibilities isn't mccabe's damage far more serious than anything flynn did? >> i think it is a valid one between what the two men did. in flynn's case he was accused of lying about a meeting not illegal or unprecedented he was meeting with russians and admit he met with russians he said he didn't talk about sanctions what mccabe is accused of lying or misleading investigators about was a violation. it was something that he did in contraconvention of federal rules. and the difference is, one is looking at his pension. one is looking at a prison. >> yeah, we should be beyond pension discussions with regard to mr. mccabe. professor jonathan turley thank you for joining us. chris swinger is a former assistant deputy director at the fbi. chris, everyone seems to think

there's some institutional problem at the bureau these days. how do you fix that? how do you clean it up? is it just three or four bad apples. i think it is on the seventh floor of the building? or if a bigger problem tan that? >> i'm one of the people who thinks that it is a comey inner circle problem that developed during the course of his very short tenure at the fbi. this would have never happened under muller or louie free or william webster or even bill sessions. the way to address this is to brush aside politics. brush aside anything that is distracting and go back to the facts and the precedent. that's what these disciplinary actions are all about. there's ample precedent. i've seen street agents fired for lack of candor, which is really lying, but it is a nice way of saying it. if it is good for street agents,

then it should apply to the executive level. assuming the facts are being as reported. >> there's texts that have come out between this fella. peter strug. 35000 employees in the bureau, but the seem three or four people seem to have their fingers in everything that mattered the text between peter struck and rudy contreras a court judge and he's basically playing out peter struck with his lover. games in which he can improperly influence the pfizer court judge. why are peter struck and his paramore why are they still there? >> yeah the disciplinary process works behind the scenes. it is not made public. they don't fire you and then decide the facts later. they get the facts, put you on ice. what they're doing.

peter is on the gun squad now, as we call it. then when the facts are determined and they go through the process of recommendation and action taken. it takes a little while. it seems bureaucratic, but it is a fair way of doing it. it is not a court of law. it is basically internal affairs doing what they do. so i can understand that process. >> but there's a sense from the public's point of view that there is prim fascia evidence of wrongdoing and bureaucrats are slow walking it. it is like lossis learner what penalty she pays becomes more mysterious and opaque and less, real meaning as the months and years roll by. >> i happen to think that the i.g.s final report will be impactful. far more than any of these congressional investigations, which basically go nowhere and are political theater.

in fact calling them investigationes being very generous. these are fact finding. they can get their hands on data and mobile phones and good straight to the fbi server. pull out all of that information. it is a lot of information to go through. >> no. that's-- that's certainly true, as you say. at the rate those two tweet and text they could be months and months to go through. chris, thanks very much. democrats claim to resist hate. but few can muster the courage to condemn louis farrakahn. that story is next.

duke. david duke has three followers. oneog of which is his dog. where farrakahn has huge popularity, not just with the black community, but also at high-levels of democrat party. victor, what's odd t me, farrakahn seemed to go away for a long time. he seemed to do something with the million mar march, which was 20 years ago. he seem mired in the past. then suddenly you find out that the women's march, which are the coolest people around at the moment. they protest trump and wear the pink hats and all of the leaders of the women's march are somehow plugged into farrakahn. he's kind of still current, isn't he? >> it is funny, because we have known for three decades that he espoused racism and antisemtism why at 84 does he has the in apocalyptic language. not just express racism and use

terms like going down. 73 years after the holocaust he says the era of the jew is over. the answer is in this transformation from the democratic party of old to identity of politics progressi partiy he is useful not an albatross but a useful asset. you mention the women's march, but gosh, when danny davis, think about that a congressman says that no one cares about farrakahn. and used the word, the "jewish question" a 19th century debate in uup in the hands of the third reich the jewish question was the holocaust. >> tucker: ing about the jewish question in 2018. it is absurd. it reflects you mention barack obama photo op. even more interesting the photographer who took that was

willard. i don't know why they wanted to suppress it. it is common knowledge that the nation of islam work on the senate campaign. >> it is ridiculous. >> it is ridiculous that i have to introduce this resolution. it is an easy question. do you condemn antisemtism? the modern democratic party as the doctor points out can't answer the question. >> victor, what's-- it seems to be a by product of identity politic. what matters is who you are. so if a white man says this kind of stuff, he's ult-right. he's part of the problem and charlotteville, trump is called on to denounce him. if farrakahn says this, he can say exactly the same things and farrakahn identity an solves him entirely from it. >> it does. it is very scary, because in the case of the women's march we have ann african-american woman,

we have a hispanic woman and an arab american woman. they all feel they get special dispensation w to collude with n obvious racist and antisemmite. the members of the black caucus, obama photo op took place in the capital in the basement. so people, they feel that i completely exempt tohe either collude with or to support or to dismiss this racism. it just creates a problem of cynicism. that noea one really does beliee any more. the question is what is their agenda? do a they agree with farrakahn r not agree? that's why i applaud the congressman's effort. we needon to ask them that question. >> no, white people deserve to die. you can't get any any more specific than that professor, congressman. thank very much for joining us tonight. >> a german food bank says it simply can't handle the number of migrants coming to its doors

and has begun turning them away. that story o next on "tucker carlson tonight."

♪ >> a german food bank says it can no longer handle the sheer number of migrants the german government has dumped on it. the city has seen its syrian population grow from 1300 to 10000 in just two years and local poor residents say that aggressive male migrants routinely cut in line at the food bank and take most of the food leaving them to go hungry. so one esin food bank is refusing to sign up additional migrants. for that they have been denounced as nazis. douglas murray is the author of the excellent book "the strange death of europe" he joins us. this is the real tension in europe that you write about

between poor, europeans, who actually bear the brunt of these migration policies. >> yes, that's right. it is very to be with you, mark. >> it is amazing story. the single food bank in west germany. they're saying look, we have a lot of poor, old people here. we havee a lot of women. we have a lot of people, who queue up and just-- we want to be helping and these young migrants push ahead. they just say we want to help the people we're set up to help here.r this, as you say they have been called nazi. the german chancellor has come and sat on them and insulted them and instructed them to change their food bank policy. and this is absolutely typical of the pattern we see, not just in germany, but across all of europe. merkel invited in millions of people. the continent unsurprisingly is

finding it difficult to integrate those people, or even house them. she attack the people, rather than wondering whether she might have made a mistake yourself. >> you use the final british word for "queue" what polite people do when they stand in line as they say in the united states. i noticed when i was in europe during the summer that all of these migrants appeared, that i don't know whether it is that standing in line or queuing is a anglo-american continental phenomenon. but on trains, and at cabab houses and all over the place you saw routinely the bus station, you saw routinely aggressive, young men pushing women out of the way. orve just at the supermarket. i don't know whether that's because standing in line isn't part of their cultural

tradition. or whether it is a portent of something more sinister? sky, you know you have it there. a young male migrant pushing ahead of an elderly woman in germany. what is the natural response of the german state in to call the elderly lady a nazi. you know. say they're the problem. we just have, by the way in london, where i'm sitting just today a young man, who came illegally to the u.k. three years ago. he said to the u.k. official, when they did find him that he had been trained by isis. then was allowed to roam around and a year later just left a bomb on the land underground. which thankfully failed to completely detonate. we had 30 people with singed hair instead of 30 people in body bags. everyone said what failed in the counter extremism policy. no, if you keep letting people

know. you don't know who they research the authorities keep inviting people in the rate they have in recent years, you don't have a hope. >> in germany they have the new party alternative tor deutschland which everyone says extreme right wing the problem isn't the nice, young, strapping muslim men. the problem it is racist european voting for racist right wing parties. where is that going to end up eventually in. >> you know my book just came out in translation in germany this week. so i've been dealing quite a lot with german press. you know i keep saying the same thing. you have to be careful how you tread in germany, but let me put it this way. you've got to find a way for the german people, who for instance are queuing at a food bank or see people queuing at a food bank to allow them to raise problems, raise issues that concernn them, without calling

them nazis. you've just got to find a way. a plausible way to vent their feelings about what they see. currently there's noo way. >> there's no wayre for them too that. >> up next, thank you douglas. up next a special edition of. >> tucker: ers men in america series with mike row. that's next on "tucker carlson tonight." at business? stay at la quinta. where we're changing with stylish make-overs. then at your next meeting, set your seat height to its maximum level. bravo, tall meeting man. start winning today. book now at lq.com on the only bed that adjusts on both sides to your ideal comfort, your sleep number setting. does your bed do that? it's the last chance for clearance savings up to $600. plus free home delivery on most beds. ends monday. visit sleepnumber.com for a store near you.

for everyoneor around him and te society itself. i think it is clearly true. you have seven million men of working age out of the workforce. no one talks about it. it seems like something approaching a social crisis. why isn't that in in the news more? >> i think because we can't decide who to blame. right? it is not news, unless there's a bad guy. we need a villian. we have to have someone in the black hat. and we look around. there's no shortage of potential villians, but the hard, truth i'm afraid. in my view, again i'm not an expert in any of it. i think a lot of what's happened self inflicted. i think that men becoming somewhat disconnected from whatever version of manhood they espouse, i think that happens because of relationships with their dad, with their grandfather. you know grandfathers aren't around any more. we talk about the role of fathers. obviously that's been fractured.

it is extraordinary, when you think about the-- the safety net the kid had growing up there. was a dad there. there was a grandfather there. there was interia and a lot of thing the kid could look to for islands and virtues but proof. so that's gone. and that's not just the problem for the individual. it is a problem, i think, if you think a culture has an identity if you think a society has a soul, these are the enemies of those things. >> tucker: there's no question about it. do you think that we value work as an inherent virtue as a society? >> no. no, i don't. i think that we have identified work as the approximatate cause of our dissatisfaction. and i think you don't have to look far to find endless examples. the best sellingng books now in the self help section and in general claim to have the solution for how you can work

less. most of the commercials on tv ask a tasid question. how could you be happier? the answer, of course is retire a little sooner. or work 35 instead of 40 hours. the tv shows typically valued tend to embrace notions of shortcuts. you know. in 1000 different ways, i believe as a society we've made the case that the enemy of your happiness is your damn job. if you can only have less of that, all of these other things and some zero sum game would equal out. you would smile more. look. i know it is hackney. i knoww we have talked about it before. it is ho-r actioner tio al gear stur. suspicious of need gratification. it is taking the long view and most importantly my view, we can control how we define a good job.

it has made it clear some work is less desirable than others. we start to look as some education more important. next thing you know you have 1 spoken 5 trillion in student loanss and 6 million jobs invole training and not a four year degree and a whole generation of kids educated for jobs that don't exist any more with a pile of debt they can't pay back, because welent them money we didn't have in the first place. it ain't great. >> tucker: i have to g say almt all of the happy and successful people i know work and love to work. so maybe there's something, at least for men there's something about working that makes you happy. just the act of working. do you think it is true? j i think so. i think it is true. i think the lie, like the big, underlying bright and shiny lie is the ideas that what you do is

the thank will either make you happy or unhappy. that's not what you just said. what you said is the business of working has an underlying inherent valuet to it. and i do believe deeply that's 100% true. if it were true that certain jobs made certain people unhappy or made everyone unhappy, then obviously everyone in that job would beis miserable. you know, if there's one enduring lesson from dirty jobs those people as a group were having a better time and more connected than the vast majority of people i know who mate great white collar livings. it is just an inconvenient truth, but it is out there. there's a lot of hope in it. if you can find people doing something that you were told is supposed to make you miserable, but they are somehow prospering and happy, you will have to square that. the testified demands a verdict.
