10:00 pm
our small part to fight back. back from washington, guess who is next? >> sean: hey, tucker. >> tucker: there he is! [laughs] >> sean: thank you, welcome to "hannity," so much out in the news, robert mueller's witch hunt in to trump-russia collusion on day 349. so tonight, after 50 weeks of investigation we still have zero evidence that donald trump did anything wrong, absolutely zero. now breaking just moments ago, this is huge from "the washington post." robert mueller threatened to subpoena the president of the united states and take the president before a grand jury.y. this witch hunt is way out of control.nd ed henry has a full report coming up tonight. plus, according to information, the first leak to "the new york times," mueller has dozens of questions that he wants the president to answer. okay, coming up we will reveal the special counsel's most insane and ridiculous questions and why this report is full of crap, we will also show you how
10:01 pm
mueller is trying to set a trap for the president. and also according to the congressional report, a secret donor paid huge dollars, millions of dollars to take down president trump after you elected him. we will explain that. i also have my questions.o while trump is the focus of this huge legal speculation, that two-tier justice system is totally ignoring crimes from hillary clinton, james comey, andrew mccabe, and so many others. stay tuned, we have a list ofm serious crimes that need to be investigated and will have the very latest from james comey's trump-derangement tour. the latest display of bias off the hook and an important update from the caravan of migrants demanding entry on the southern border. h sit tight, it is time for the breaking news opening monologue. ♪ we start with a fox news alert, absolutely zero evidence that president trump ever colluded with russia in any, way, shape,
10:02 pm
manner, or form. and robert mueller's merry band of trump hating sycophants are completely and totally desperate to find anything, something on president trump.te late last night "the new york times" released a report allegedly detailing questions that robert mueller wants to ask trump before the investigation concludes. if any of these questions are true, be warned, mueller is, laying a huge perjury trap for the president of the united states. which means two things, one, he has nothing. and two, it proves everything i have been saying about him and andrew weissmann and company. two of america's top attorneys are now sounding the alarm. watch this.an >> the questions are inartfully drawn. they are written as open-ended questions. they are not cross examination questions. they are not sharp questions designed to confront and test. they are really designed to let him ramble and talk. i suspect that that is the strategy of the special counsel,
10:03 pm
because they know that the data may be president trump's weakness. if they were to ask him direct, tough questions to which you could answer yes or no, thatsk might not give them the advantage that they are seeking. >> the questions are an intrusion into the president's t article two powers under the constitution to fire any executive branch employee. to ask questions as mr. mueller apparently proposes to do about what the president was thinking when he fired comey or flynn or anybody else is in outrageous, sophomoric, juvenile intrusion into the president's unfettered power to fire anyone in the executive branch. it is a symptom of how ridiculous this appointment was by rod rosenstein when he made the appointment with no evidence of a crime.
10:04 pm
>> sean: joe digenova and alan dershowitz are exactly right. this is a perjury trap for the president of the united states. and even more frightening are the contents of this inquiry. note, all of the questions that include the term what did the president think? what did the president thinknk about james comey, what did the president think about jeff sessions' recusal? what does he think about the special counsel? well, i have a question for robert mueller, when did thinking or thoughts, ever become a crime? when did the united states start regulating what may or may not to be in a person's mind? are we now going to criminalize thoughts? this list of insane, juvenile ridiculous questions goes on including one about a statement to our friend maria bartiromo, the reaction to news reports. and what discussions trump had about terminating the special counsel. excuse me. he never terminated him!
10:05 pm
and again, more questions about the thought process. this is supposed to be originally was supposed to be about russia collusion, an investigation. not to some persecution of the president on ridiculous thought patterns. rush limbaugh captured it well today. he said the president should only agree to a mueller r interview if president trump t gets the hillary clinton treatment. let's take a look. >> if trump could secure the same identical circumstances that were granted toru hillary clinton, then why not sit down for the interview and answer the questions? but of course i speak facetiously, because everybody knows that donald trump is not going to get to the hillary clinton treatment extended by james comey. >> sean: not under oath, not recorded, meaningless, send in x pro trump person like peter strzok interviewed hillary, if we have a fair system of justice, president trump should actually get the hillary treatment for any interview with the fbi. and just like hillary clinton's interview, after the exoneration was written a month later, oh,
10:06 pm
trump's interview should be conducted not under oath, not recorded, not be transcribed, and the exoneration written months in advance. and, oh, somebody with a pro trump bias, let's say, me, i will conduct the questioning. how about rush? or the great one, mark levin? good idea. now to get the treatment or peter strzok, maybe, i don't know, we have a good choice of people, lots of conservatives that can interview.we none of this is going to happen. we know that. we know sadly in america we have a two-tier justice system, not equal justice under the law. equal application of our laws. while the president is targeted in a totally off the rails witch hunt, hillary clinton, james comey, andrew mccabe, all of these other deep state actors have never been charged with a crime. despite mountains of evidence that we have. despite her total exoneration from the fbi, our friend, fox news legal analysts gregg jarrett will join us, revealing multiple serious crimes that hillary clinton should be charged with.
quote
10:07 pm
starting with 18 usc 793, mishandling and destroyingh classified documents. the obstruction of justice. remember, bleachbit, deleted emails, busted up devices. no charges over the multiple crimes related to her campaign shady practices surrounding the steele dossier. we will look at james comey, not under any investigation as of shouldn't he at least face scrutiny over 18 usc 61, the government property of records after he took the memo outside of the fbi? what about 18 usc 1924? the mishandling of classifiedou information. and remember, when james comey lied to congress about not signing off on the exoneration letter months before that interview took place, that is against the law, 18 usc 1621. and we have andrew mccabe, house republicans have referred
10:08 pm
to him to the i.g. for multiple crimes over lying to fbi andpl mccabe was fired for lying to the fbi. let's see, oh, general flynn? why has he not been charged with a crime in this case? do not hold your breath for a investigation into loretta lynch, lisa page, peter strzok or any anti-trump deep state actors. what is behind this sadly in the united states of america today is a two-tiered system of justice. it is simple. the deep state hates who you chose to be your president. they are hell-bent on seeing donald trump delegitimized and hopefully on their side removed from office. that means that they do not want him to succeed. that would mean even if americans suffer in the process. now breaking this week, a group of wealthy secret donors -- get this, they report as much as $50 million into an investigation of president trump after his 2016 election, based on the dossier.
10:09 pm
this is in the housese intel committee report, get this, the top-secret anti-trump donors even utilize the services of t christopher steele, the foreign national, the author of the dirty dossier that we know is filled with russian lies. and without a doubt, the deep state is conducting a full-scale political attempt to take down the president. and perhaps the most deep state actor is all, james comey, refuses to come on the show.de i offered him four hours of airtime. claiming that trump's criticism of the deep state is dangerous for the country. how dare he? how dare he be honest? no president has faced this before. comey also took some time to fantasize about what if the deep state's choice -- his choice -- when he in fact exonerated hillary clinton when he knew that she committed crimes and wrote the exoneration before investigation. but he is thinking, but what if
10:10 pm
hillary had actually won. take a look. >> what would your life be likea if she won? >> i also don't know the answer to that. i think that i would still be the fbi director. [laughter] and the reason i say that is, someone asked me to compare the two, and it is too hard to compare the two except for secretary clinton is someone deeply enmeshed in the rule of law, respect for institutions, a lawyer, and given thater background, i am reasonably confident that even though she a was unhappy with the decisions the fbi made, she would not fire the fbi director as a result.ha again, i do not know that for sure. [applause] >> sean: i don't even think that she would have kept you around. let's turn to another anti-trump actor, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, mark meadows, with other several house republicans, they have drafted
10:11 pm
articles of impeachment against rosenstein over the extremely slow release or just flat out obstruction regarding subpoena documents related to the clinton email investigation and of course the dossier and fisa abuse and the russia investigation. today rosenstein fired back trashing congress, congress has a constitutional duty and b authority of oversight. mr. rosenstein, i would think that you read that in your constitution. take a look. >> they cannot even resist leaking their own draft. [laughter] >> would you care to elaborate on that? >> i saw that draft, and i don't know who wrote it. there been people who have been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time. i think that they should understand by now that thehe department of justice is not going to be extorted. we will do what is required by the rule of law. any kind of threats that anybody makes are not going to affect the way that we do our job. >> sean: and congress is going to do their constitutional job
10:12 pm
and demand that you hand over the documents that they have subpoenaed a long time ago. congressmen meadows responding that he believes doing his job is extortion then rod rosenstein should step aside and allow us to find a new deputy attorney general, one who is interested in transparency. i will add also the law. also breaking tonight, chairman bob goodlatte and gowdy, wanting more information with james comey's friend, daniel richman using special designationat to leak to the press, which we know that comey wanted. is rosenstein going to cooperate on this one? i am not holding my breath. and next up, even more examples to give you from the abusively biased press in this country and the age old tactic called biasas by omission, and newss busters tonight, on monday, network news broadcast abc, cbs, nbc, guess what, they completely failed to
10:13 pm
mention the south koreabr president moon suggesting that president trump should win the nobel peace prize. they never mentioned it.t. they only mentioned the nobel peace prize used by abc and nbc to mock trump supporters who started chanting in michigan, "nobel, nobel" during his rallyo over the weekend. and while not admitting that serious progress on the world stage, that they always do. they are mourning the tragic fight of the caravan of migrants that once you enter this country illegally that do not respect our sovereignty, take a look. >> the crisis at the border, the caravan with over 100 migrants seeking asylum and arriving at the u.s. border with mexico.va but told that there is no room. >> this is literally the end of the road for these migrants, you can see them camped out here by the dozens. again, the morning chill there. they are sleeping up against the border. >> the border showdown, the this escalates over the caravan of migrants from central america.
10:14 pm
denounced by the president, at the u.s. border. will they be turned away? >> the caravan of central american migrants traveling for more than a month at the u.s.-mexico border trying to cross. u.s. officials are trying to keep the group of nearly 200 people out. they want asylum. but have not been allowed to start the application process. >> sean: what the media failing to emphasize is the department of justice has filedc a criminal illegal entry charges to 11 members of the caravan, including one felony charge to a person who was previously deported.cl many of the migrants scaled the border fence in california, look at, that after making their way from central america unabated through mexico. mexico that routinely throws people out or in prison if they enter illegally from el salvador, nicaragua, or central america. these images that you are watching, the wall climbing, and attempting to illegally cross the border is a clear and obvious indication of how many of these migrants value our laws, respect our sovereignty.
10:15 pm
and what is worse, mexico's total inaction. showing what kind of so-called ally we are dealing with south of the border. here with reaction sara carter, defense attorney david schoen, and fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett, considering we cited with you the comments of dershowitz and joe digenova, this leak which i know part of which is not true, but trying to get into the mind of the president the way they are with those ridiculous questions. >> these questions look like they were prepared by a first-year law student who flunked out for being patently stupid. most of the questions are either irrelevant, because they are an intrusion on the president's executive privilege or the questions, as you point out, the thought police. according to the theory of the law, if the president so much o, dreamed about firing the special counsel, mueller would prosecute
10:16 pm
him for obstruction of justice. >> sean: let me go to david schoen, i agree, this is juvenile. the idea that maybe the president thought, okay, i have a lot of thoughts about some people. a lot of which are meaningless if they do not follow any actiod whatsoever. >> the questions are problematic on a number of levels, what they make clear is the following that we have said over and over and over again. if there is one agenda here. that is to get the president before mr. mueller to charge him with extortion of justice or perjury. they are considering the mueller bill must really rethink that. to this is the wrong time, and m besides the encroachment on article two, and it is certainly that, it never should be considered. mr. comey in his book tour made clear with these questions that he said, how would he prosecute mr. trump?
10:17 pm
the questions he had in mind were the same thing, get them in front of you to charge him with obstruction of justice. that is the abuse of the special counsel regulations that were passed, creating a whole new class of charges so thatec mr. mueller can unilaterally charge the president with perjury, obstruction of justices intimidation or anything else. he believes that he wants to believe is interfering with his so-called investigation. it is very dangerous. >> sean: sara, let me go to the attack by rod rosenstein as it relates to mark meadows and the freedom caucus. let me add one other thing, rosenstein actually said that there are serious consequences if, in fact, the fisa courts were lied to and if it was found that they were false, didn't he sign off on one of those renewal applications? and didn't he implicate himself right now? >> he implicated himself and comey. that is a very important question, sean, this is
10:18 pm
something they will take a look at. we know that the inspector general, part of the reports are going to be looking directly at it. the fisa application, what was in that application on carter page? and the people that signed it, they should know better. they should have thoroughly read through the fisa application. they should know exactly what they are signing off on. and it should not just be ignorance.liey >> sean: who do we know signed off on those applications? we had the original application? then we had the three subsequent applications, that is a year. and comey still says he has no idea what was in the dossier. the bulk of information used to obtain that warrant.ll >> and comey not only says that, he said that he did not even know, he could not even say that hillary clinton campaign and that the democratic national committee actually paid for the dossier. he kept trying to blame the republicans even though we have evidence out there that in april when the hillary clinton campaign and the dnc took over with fusion gps, then they hired christopher steele, that former
10:19 pm
british spy on the dossier. there is one lie after another after another. as for the extortion bitit that rosenstein tried to say -- >> sean: who are these guys that signed off on an unverified, uncorroberatedhe russian dossier that never told applications, renewal applications, gregg jarrett, this is a year worth of lies. >> it was comey, mccabe, sally yates, and rod rosenstein. >> sean: how can he appoint mueller if he appointed all of the fisa warns? >> how can he sit in judgment of deciding whether a case should be brought against the president when he, rosenstein, is a key witness in the firing
10:20 pm
of comey? it is conflicting, and he should have stepped aside and recused himself. >> sean: how does he recommend himself to his own comments if they ignore the fisa applications and if the false information, there are serious consequences, he signed one that had false information or at least unverified. >> rod rosenstein has no business being the deputy general. hell, he has no business being a lawyer. if he does not understand the fundamentals of the conflict of interest, then he is violating all kinds of codes of professional responsibility.re and he should not be a lawyer. >> sean: david schoen on rode rosenstein and his own words, when he signed one of those fisa applications and if i am right, sara, if you can bear me out on this, he signed the last one and they still do not know, remember, it was deputy mccabe and it would not have been an application without the dossier? >> this has to be investigated, but your viewers should knowsi that the applications we're
10:21 pm
talking about are asking a very secret special court, only created in 1978 to authorize the most broad intrusion on the lives of americans and others that is possible under the laws -- >> sean: spying on americans. >> that's right. i want to say one more point about the so-called questionss that are out there. if this is for informational purposes, no reason they could not be put to the president for writing and not responded to through a lawyer proper. >> sean: donald trump talk to the team that mueller has put together, i would never allow it. >> absolutely not, and no lawyer ever would.ur >> sean: it is a perjury trap. >> i will give you one example that it is a perjury trap, mueller wants him to recount the conversation with comey, if the president were to deviate one word from comey's account, mueller would charge him with perjury. >> sean: last word, sara. >> absolutely, he should not speak a word if he does not have to. there is no way that the
10:22 pm

10:27 pm
fox confirming that john dowd told mueller "this is not some game. you are screwing with the work of the president of the united states." i have spoken to some that arere furious about this leak. they think that dowd may have put this out there along with last night's leak about robert mueller's list of questions. dowd in a phone call denied that to me. others in the president's orbit saying that maybe the president wants these leaks out there so that everybody is on the same page of exactly what mueller is asking. plus the white house can use the leaks as they did today to say all of this is a witch hunt. the list of 40 questions is so broad that people close to thehe process are telling me that it makes it less likely that the president will ever sit for an interview with mueller. the president has noted today charged as a witch hunt, railed against the leaks. insiders focusing on the part of "the new york times" story saying that the list of questions from mueller was compiled by the president's
10:28 pm
lawyers, led at the time as i noted by dowd, after a series of consultations that dowd had wito mueller, john dowd told me, "it is not me, pal," insisting that he is not leaking the information. but he left the president's team after concluding that mueller's long list of questions could put the president in legal jeopardy if he sat for an interview. this leak widely seen as an sabotaging of an interview, added that it was a person outside of the legal team meaning that it would not likely be the white house lawyer ty cobb or outside lawyer rudy giuliani who replaced dowd since he is on the team. the president wants to do an interview, but some advisors telling me tonight that it is less and less likely, because they see this as a pile on. mueller pressing for matters with james comey, general flynn, jeff sessions, and questions whether he communicated with michael cohen about real estate deals in russia which would cross the red line that the president talked about, about
10:29 pm
how he did not believe it would be fair for his business dealings before he was president to be investigated. last point, republicans trey gowdy and bob goodlatte are trying to probe some of james comey's leaks. spending a letter to jeff sessions and rod rosenstein seeking documents on one off comey's friends, daniel richman, you remember him? a go-between for some of the o release of his memos. rod rosenstein said that he is not going to be extorted, that is a word that he used, the articles of impeachment against him drafted by house republicans but i can tell you, mark meadows said that is ridiculous and that rod rosenstein should stick to facts instead of rhetoric, sean. >> sean: ed henry at the t white house, maybe he should read the constitution, something about checks and balances. that is part of it. joining us with more reaction, ron desantis, tv contributor, former secret service agent dan bongino. i agree with gregg jarrett, david schoen, joe digenova,
10:30 pm
congressman, i agree with alan dershowitz. this is a perjury trap, it is juvenile, the idea you will ask the president "what was in your mind" is in absurdity, and it shows just how far this has gone from so-called collusion with russia. >> you are right, sean, very few n of the bullets involved the campaign. it was mostly during the transition and then during the presidency. so you have a situation where robert mueller, he is a doj employee, effectively. he has an inferior officer inpl the executive branch. what gives him the right to conduct oversight over basic presidential decisions? it has nothing to do with any type of criminal activity. what was in your mind wheniv you talked about sessions resigning or this or that? he does not have the right to subpoena the president for that, the president should not submit to those questions. and i agree with alan dershowitz and you, sean, i think that really they are not trying toyo
10:31 pm
investigate a crime, they are trying to manufacture a processed crime. >> sean: dan bongino, no good lawyer in the right mind knowing what we know, knowing the d abusively biased team like weissmann and company that wasno appointed by mueller, would any layer let the president go before the man at all? and the threats of the president early in the process before they corroborated and never exerted executive privilege, are you kidding me?? >> do you see the danger in this? they are not investigating a crime here. they are investigating donald trump. there is a difference. i was a former federal agent, you investigate a crime and you find people. you do not find people and then go find the crime. i read the questions, and sean, these questions are very strategic.c. notice how they are left open-ended. now ron is a lawyer, he can tell you this too. this is what you do when you interview people as a federal agent.s you ask open-ended questions. >> sean: no "yes or no"
10:32 pm
questions. just a chat.>> perjury trap. >> exactly, bingo. >> sean: if there is one thing that deviates and you are on a witch hunt, there is no prosecutorial discretion, the only way he gets that is hillary clinton, the rigged investigation. the hillary standard is not going to apply for donald trump with robert mueller and his merry band of democratic donors and people that withholdue exculpatory evidence like andrew weissmann. no, he is not going -- he will be under oath unlike hillary, not a friend interviewing him like hillary had. the double standard is so flagrant here, do we have equal justice under the law? do we have to equal application under the law or not in this country? >> just the fact that these questions are being generated, were there a copious number of questions that were asked of hillary in her fbi interview? that was a perfunctory thing. they had already decided not to bring charges. comey wrote the memo two months
10:33 pm
before they even interviewed her. so the lack of zealousness and then the overzealousness here is very, very striking. and look, it should be concerning to all of us. that is the biggest problem with the investigation is that theyth have been trying to nail anything they can to the wall. and of course you and i and dan, we all watched the hillary case where they did not go after bleachbit.t. they did not to go after huma or any of it. >> sean: and how does rod rosenstein, one person that signs off on a dossier mandated application to a fisa court when they are lying to the fisa judges, how does he not recuse himself? where is jeff sessions saying that you never should've been in this? get out! >> sean, rod rosenstein is the united states attorney in in maryland on the uranium one precursor case! this guy is so conflicted, howow he has not recused himself or redesigned is amazing.
10:34 pm
>> sean: he implicated himself tonight. when he said, oh, serious consequences if there is false information on a fisa application.n. he signed one that was not to verified or corroborated and hillary paid for it, and they never told the judge. >> he needs to get off this case like yesterday. >> sean: full disclosure, i do want ron desantis to win and be the next governor, unless you do not want me to endorse you, then i will take it back. >> thanks. >> sean: all right, guys, thank you. when we come back, more breaking news. when you see roseanne barr responding to critics upset with her for supporting president trump. we have watters versus jessica tarlov, that and more straightet ahead. ♪ ahead. ♪ we had long deployments in iraq. i'm really grateful that usaa was able to take care of my family while i was overseas serving. it was my very first car accident. we were hit from behind. i called usaa and the first thing they asked was
