rudy guiliani believed it was a witch hunt. the president is willing to sit down with robert mueller for a interview but most investigators are democrats and he's not sure he can get a fair shake. it was mueller's team in court over the paul manafort charges. they are seeking unfettered power the judge said to bring down the president. judge ellis said you don't care about mr. manafort. you care about the information mr. manafort can give you to lead you to mr. trump and impeachment or whatever and seeing the unredakted information. and he's overseeing this. and the president said they are still new to the team and getting the facts straight. and president clarified his comments to you.

and he's spoke to the nran in dallas. >> none of that information has to do with information related to the russian government coordination and the campaign of donald trump. it doesn't have going to do. it is from years before. then how does this have going to do with the campaign, the judge asked? let me tell you, folks, we are all fighting battles. but i love fighting these battles. [applause] >> sean: ellis served in the law school and was nominated by reagan. he has issued over 1000 decisions and making it all more dangerous for mueller. and what the judge was saying, manafort charges go back to 2005. and finally the federal judge is saying wait a second and what

does that have to do with the 2016 election. >> sean: the time table is unbelievable. the memo confirming mueller's authority to go in manafort's home, that came after july 26th. it was like post dated permission. ed henry, big news. and joining us is natural strategist dr. sebastian gorka. and david limbaugh. david negotiated my contracts on tv, and radio and other business and we once broke bread together and i paid for it. we'll go through the time line here. putting aside the judge who escorrated mueller's team. manafort was raided on july 26th. and the memo didn't come out

until august 2nd. and that means before they raided at dawn with gun's blagz manafort's home. they investigated something they didn't have permission or man date to go into. b, they got permission specifically after it happened. what does that mean, david. it tells me it would be done and thrown out? >> sometimes the judges fool people. but is was unambiggous and the judge is irritated and rightly so. i have begin the special counsel the benefit of the doubt but enough is enough. i have kept my powder dry. they have no evidence of collusion or obstruction and they are trying to lure him in a perjury trap and pressure people to flipping on trump. here's what is ironic. the whole investigation is set up on the pretense of protecting

democracy and here we have an out of control special counsel in the federal government imbued with all of the unaccountable authority and attempting to thwart the will of the people themselves harming for democracy. and the people who are voted for trump, they are obstructing what he's doing and abusing their authority to do it. who holds them accountable. >> sean: dr. gorka, david and a lot of us have warned about the team of democratic donors, we have warned about mueller's team and the ethical problems they and weissmann's atrocious record. and when they are told you don't care about manafort, you really

care about mchl inform on trump to lead to prosecution and impeachment it was looked in to 13 years ago. they used it to try to get manafort to get the president. that sounds like a witch hunt, dr. gorka. >> we have it from the bench. it is a witch hunt. and your guest is right. they are undermining the democratic process, not only with the going after the targets they are not authorized to go after. where is the scope memo and whether they acted without a memo when they went after manafort and his wife and everybody else. there is a larger issue. a president can only leave office three ways.

if he dies, if he resigns or impeaches and the senate convicts him. you can't have a rogue agent of the fbi and doj take a president in front of the grand jury, the u.s. constitution and case law forbids it. and mueller is out of control, sean. >> sean: the judge today, he didn't recuse himself? the judge said rosenstein is way too conflicted. he would be the witness because he recommended the firing of jim comey, number one. and he signed on to the unverified clinton law people and phony russian dossier and never did his work in that particular case and now back dating after robert mueller's team morning raid on paul manafort.

he's back dating the permission. it sounds like rod rosenstein needs to go yesterday. >> yeah, you know what is scary about these guys, they see themselves serving a higher good skchlt they think they can bend the rules because their higher good on removing trump is the end justifying the means and they are scary, there is no one that holds them accountable. and they are doing something right so they back date thing and abuse the very process they are pretending to protect. how would we like it, sean, and dr. gorka. we had local prosecutor and instead of law enforcement authorities to bring it to them. and we just assign them prominent community members to investigate and look for crimes. how would that work in our justice system? the framers set up to prevent

that. we have a executive branch trying to eat itself. we don't have trump trying to abuse authority. no evidence since he was elected or before abuse authority and they are not trying to hold him accountable and yet they are the ones who is exceeding the authority. we need to rethink the entire special counsel law because they have to get a special crime or get machine to flip. >> sean: the judge addressed that. no one has unfettered power. co-equal branch and separation of powers here. >> we don't have unfettered prosecutors in america. the founder of the precursor of the kgb in the soviet union famously said show me the man and i will find you the crime. robert mueller is trying to pin

a crime on the president and can't be allowed. this is america, sean. >> sean: that is great analysis and we want to speak to a former trump advisor and he will talk about the personal way that it impacted his family. he had to sell his home to pay for legal "hannity."

news.com. >> sean: our next guest is caught up in the democrat witch hunt and cost him dearly and personally. former trump campaign aide had to sell his home to pay for legal fee and fearful that his kid's future is in jeopardy. he had harsh words for the senate intelligence committee. he said america needs an investigation. investigators, i want to know who is paying for the spies work

and coordinated attack on president trump and crushed our kids and cost us money and forced us out of our home all because you forced us out of our home. i want to know because gd you to hell. i know you said what a lot of people feel. i said it to rudy guiliani, i watched whole picks. and i am guessing and she probably spent more legal fees than she was paid last year and that is a case for a lot of people. explain how this impacts you and your family? >> thanks for having me, sean by the way. it started on march 20, 2017, the house intelligence had a public hearing where

representative jackie spear brought my name up and my wife's name and called me putin's image maker. and threats to our family came one after another. death threat and one guy called me i know you are not home and we'll burn your home with your wife and children inside. it was clear that i was going to be pulled in the congressional investigations. and since the hearing and a senate committee hearing and now, sitting before the mueller team on wednesday, we are out $125,000. we were on the way out of our home, sean, and we couldn't have a home like we and make money. we had to move to washington to make washington money so i can pay the debt.

125000 is more than i make a year here in new york. we don't make that much here. we are wealthy in a quality of life. so what happened. >> sean: go ahead. >> what happened was surprising, one last thing we were trying to do before we pack up put up a go fund me and between the time i told them to go to hell and check my go fund me, we raised over $125,000 in $20 increment. i was shocked by this. it is a good thing for people to see. there are other people who can't afford this and really having trouble and they need to know people are backing them up. i am proof positive that people are sick of this. >> sean: nobody should have to lose their home. here's the problem for you. they drag you into a legal case

and you must hire a lawyer because no person can fight this on their own because we learned this week, they set up perjury trap and if you don't answer the right way you are charged with perjury and look at catherine herridge tonight and unredakted portion. house intel report, literally no one thought michael flynn was lying including comey who lied about it. >> i tell you, sean, i walked in to the same situation with mueller team and it was three hours remarkably short. and they aren't nice and they didn't ask me one question that they didn't know the question to. they were there to ask me questions and i am intimidated by this. and they warned me they would be

watching me on tv. >> and they know it is another $25,000 for me. sean, it is a stickec wicket in there and they are not pulling me in there for a barn dance. they are putting you in a situation where you make a mistake. >> sean: how said we'll be watching you on tv. it is obvious millions of dollars are spent to try to smear me in the last recent weeks. we'll either remain the united states of america or be venezuela. this abuse of power is out of control. michael,in am sorry with what happened to your family. all my heart. >> my go fund me. and in need to raise another 70 or 80 and after this interview probably another 150.

this've this thing has to end. >> sean: what you describe should put a chill up the spine of every american. michael, my best to you and your family and we'll put that on the screen when we can. please come back and talk more. when w w w w w

>> have you changed your mind at all about sitting with mule i. >> the problem is you have a group of investigators and they say i am not a target and i am not a target. you have a group of investigators that are all democrat and some cases they went to the hillary clinton

celebration that turned out to be a funeral. you have all of the investigators that are democrats and in all fairness bob mueller worked for obama for eight years and i have to find that we are treated fairly and everybody sees it now as a pure witch hunt. >> sean: that was president trump earlier today and he was blasting what he called robert mueller's witch hunt. and concerned that he would not be treated fairly. and sitting down with a ri flesher and monica crowley. let's just break it down a ri this way, the president is right. mueller work would for a democrat. and he had all democratic donors and then andrew weissmann twice with holding evidence and overturned in the supreme court

and in the fifth court of appeals after centeding innocent men to jail for a year. and then rod rosenstein after the july 26th raid of paul manafort giving permission on august 2nd to go into the new air of investigation, not in the original man date. i don't care if you are a liberal, conservative or republican or democrat, that stacks up as unfair and the judge's words today stung because as ben franklin said the sting in any rebuke is the truth. >> the judge's words did sting and that is a remarkable statement and we'll see what his ruling is. but bob mueller work would seven years for george bush and fbi director. >> sean: served his country. but he appointed andrew weissman. >> i worked with him in the bush

administration and i have respect and admiration and he earned it and he erred in his hiring. he is not have made himself vulnerable donors and andrew we iszman and only reason you go to a victory party, you want to get a higher ranking job. you want a job or believe their ideology. he shouldn't have gone and makes him to the charge of bias. and so sean my bottom line, let mueller finish. i can't imagine any sweater vindication. >> sean: finish? would you want to be investigated by andrew weissmann after tens was americans lost their jobs in anderson

accounting and who had with held evidence and overturned in the supreme court and sent people to judge and would you want him to work on a case involving you, i wouldn't? >> and that's whyin am sure donald trump's lawyers don't go in. he will not be questioned by it. and i can't imagine that will happen. for just the reason you said. even if you know you didn't dop wrong government overreach can be a problem particularly in the hands of prosecutors in the end of the day, if there is no collusion, there is no collusion. no one has seen it. >> sean: they seem to be post dating the new man date. monica crowley, this is as the judge said they don't care about manafort from 13 years ago. this is now and they want to takedown the president. they will do whatever they have to do. >> none of this is fair.

and dismiss of the whole fiction of the premise. just as the phony dossier was generated to get fisa warrants. the entire returnian lie is a trojan horse issue to gen eight a if counsel authorization and try to undermine the candidate and te destroy the president. that's why you have investigation after investigation in to paul manafort obstruction and michael cohen, stormy daniel and when all of that falls apart they will try to find something else. it is all about something much bigger to destroy donald trump. why he is a threat to the guardians of the elite ruling class. if trump succeeds it is over. >> they are using every tool

legal and illegal and ethiccal and unethiccal to take him out. >> sean: what the judge said about unfettered power. this is a game- changing day. when we come back, you

>>as we continue our special edition of "hannity" our video of the day is amazing. it shows a good samaritan putting himself at risk to stop an armed suspect fleeing police. he trips the suspect as he was getting away. officers thanked bill for his help arresting the man. the suspect was around with a glock pistol. we see the worst and sometimes

the best. that's the best. we will always be fair and balanced. we will have a lot more on the huge breaking development on monday. have a great ♪ ve a great >> tucker: well, good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it's hard to remember now but robert mueller's special counsel investigation began as a probe into russian collusion. you will recall the story we were told then. foreign power influenced the outcome of our election. we have to figure out how exactly that happen and determine if any american citizens were involved in that plot. that is how the whole thing was sold to the rest of us. by the way, some republicans on capitol hill still seem to believe that's what it's about. nobody accused them of genius. but to the rest of us it's pretty obvious what is going on. and to make it clearer, robert mueller hired a new prosecutor the other day. once again, another hillary
