news. thanks for listening to the radio show, watching the tv show, watching our friend laura ingraham standing by. this is important. we're going to get to the bottom of it. there will be a huge follow-up when the rank-and-file talk. let not your heart be troubled. there she is, laura ingraham. you wanted to be in singapore, admitted. >> laura: i understand the singapore government is going to bring back caning. they cane people. if you don't get out of the country. they are like, when is hannity ever going to leave? anyway, your family wants your home. get home safe. fantastic show. loved it. >> sean: only 22 hours. i will be watching "braveheart" over and over and over again. speak to "braveheart" and "pattern." good evening from washington i am laura ingraham. the inspector general bombshell report on the fbi, doj, rocking the nation's capital as a result the ig has referred five, five

fbi employees for investigation. we have full analysis and reactions made from every angle, including the first remarks from the house intel chair, devin nunes. here are the highlights to bring you up to speed quickly. the report from the doj inspector general michael horowitz on the hill or email investigation found that former fbi director jim comey did not follow the bureau's procedures. comey's actions damaged the fbi's image of impartiality. amazingly, comey still refuses to admit he was wrong. he wrote, magically, wrote it so fast. "nothing in the inspector general's report makes me think we did the wrong thing." now remember, it was that very insubordination by comey that trump cited when he fired the fbi director in 2017. and now the doj's

inspector general agrees. may be the most shocking revelation was the vow to stop trump from becoming president. in an exchange between fbi lovebirds peter strzok and lisa page, page texted, he's not all ever going to be president, right? he replied no, he's not. we will stop it. remember how highly placed these two were in this. strzok was the fbi's lead investigator in the clinton email probe and a top investigator sliding seamlessly into the special counsel's russia investigation. busy boy. page was a senior fbi lawyer who also was on the mueller team. good gigs. remember it's president trump who the left side was damaging our institution.

>> president trump will fit nothing to discredit the institutions that are meant to keep leaders honest. >> the level of lobbying in this administration has already greatly exceeded that which was done in the nixon administration. i think it's sort of silly to compare nixon and trump, but this extraordinarily corrosive and damaging -- >> they are nonpolitical. they are doing their job. >> so distrusting. i think it's irresponsible and maybe he needs a history lesson. >> laura: okay. here's a history lesson for you. it's been revealed to the very people running those institutions did the most damage to them. despite strzok and page's toxic texts, the ig says their bias did not directly affect their actions. it's fairly astounding, shocking

finding when you take into account all that we've learned. let's review today's report with our top-notch panel of experts. psalm eisenberg interviewed president clinton, retired fbi special agent bobby chacon, and john solomon. i want to get to so much. of all the things we learned in this report to you, what is the most shocking? >> we've been reporting this for months. it's not shocking. >> laura: that's a great line. great bleeding. >> there is a consequential thing. the president reportedly under investigation verbs -- for firing james comey. he wasn't fired for stopping the russia case. he was fired because he was incompetent. it makes clear he should have been fired for insubordination.

>> laura: in may 2017, i want sol to react, mueller was appointed special counsel. the next day, strzok and page exchanged texts and the question is whether strzok should join the investigation and strzok road for me i personally have a sense of unfinished business. i unleashed it with the midyear investigation. now i need to fix it and finish it. solomon says he's not shocked. sorry, john, that's a shocking revelation. he wants to finish it. big talk from such a little man. sol. >> well, you know, it is shocking. something can be shocking but not surprising. as i've said before, even if we didn't know this stuff, he had no business transferring over to the russia gate investigation or

whatever you want to call it. but i'll look at the oig report and i think they do say that strzok is biased and left a big cloud over the organization. what they said is we can't say other people made decisions too and we can't say his bias infected them. we look at one thing in particular that is stunning in this report, this very ironic, the oig cannot explain, they said there's no rational explanation why, after they found over 300,000 clinton emails on the anthony weiner laptop in late september, the fbi did nothing for a month. i say that it's ironic because it's pretty clear there's a real possibility they did nothing because they thought it would hurt mrs. clinton during the election. but by waiting so long, when

they finally were pressured by the southern district of new york and decided they had to act, director comey said well, i had to make my statement because i didn't think, i didn't think we would finish analyzing the emails before the election. if he had done his job, if they had all done their job in late september when they learned about the clinton emails on the weiner laptop, they would've been finished and they wouldn't have made that incredibly damaging announcement and i think the reason that they just stood down is because they didn't want to hurt mrs. clinto mrs. clinton. i see no other rational explanation for that. neither does mr. horowitz. he doesn't say we had any proof of it. he just says we can't understand this. it's amazing. >> laura: on page 294 of the report, bobby, it jumps out at you. it is titled "hillary clinton and foundation crime against

children." it's referencing all the emails that were on the weiner laptop and there was an effort i get to -- i guess to sequester certainly emails. "anthony weiner texting 15-year-old." thousands of emails. they had a conversation about which emails would be allowed to be looked at in this case in which would be set aside. that also raises a lot of questions. huma abedin and hillary clinton exchanged thousands of emails apparently. i don't think they were looked at in this investigation at all. bobby, your reaction. >> i think that specific question has to do with the search warrants. the office of the fbi who got

the laptop search warrant, for the sex crimes case against anthony weiner. that has specificity with a warrant. they were looking for emails of that type. when that was transferred to washington, they were looking for different things. that's why they call went from new york to washington saying did you get your warrant? you need to get a warrant for the stuff you want to look for on the laptop. to sol's point, it's my opinion they were sitting on the laptop and they thought they could sit on until after the election. when new york called donaldson what are you doing with this, why haven't you gotten a warrant? they told comey. i will think comey knew. >> laura: [laughs] >> there's no reason why he didn't know to go to mccabe and say why did you wait two weeks? it is beyond the pale. it's not believable. >> laura: obama supposedly didn't know anything either.

remember in 2015 when the hillary private server classified information thing blew up, the president was asked a question. >> mr. president, when did you first learn hillary clinton used an email system outside the government for official business while she was secretary of stat state? >> at the same time everybody else learned it through news reports. >> laura: that was a lie. page 425. we want to be specific so people understand we are going through this report. a lot of headline readers are going to say there's nothing in this report. there's a lot in this report. fascinating. we identified numerous instances in which -- i'm reading the wrong thing. sorry. where is the one i am supposed to read? i will read it off the screen. fbi analysts and prosecutors told us former president barack obama was 1 of 13

individuals with whom clinton had direct contact using her clinton email account. he had a pseudonym, like a lot of presidents do, with his official email. but he lied about it. >> there is no doubt. >> laura: why did he lie? why didn't he say i think i might have. >> great question. we don't know the answer. there's a lot of things about the clinton email case to go back to the idea that she was treated differently on that there were still on prosecuted crimes under the statute of limitations that this fbi and justice department could potentially look at. how could it be that a clinton team instructed someone or caused someone to destroy emails that were under subpoena by congress but no one has been charged. they get immunity. they move on. i want to point out one of the thing that sol said. he talked about the difference in handling this. in october strzok made the decision to prioritize jump over

reopening hillary clinton. that says in the report made a conscious thing to prioritize trauma. >> laura: let's not forget what the ig did say is they cannot rule out bias in the decision to prioritize russia and trump over hillary. could not rule it out. he soft peddled that. horowitz, everyone was like horowitz is great. he seemed to soft pedal a lot here. i know you can only conclude with the documents -- get that but putting yourself into a pretzel to come across as light on some of these guys as i think he did. i want to read something and i know, you sol are interested in. paul, working for hillary clinton. page 147 of the report. don't feel like we're back in law school? your highlighters out.

now i'm getting everything -- 103. i'm sorry. we have so many pages. stating only he and one other administrator have the ability to delete a mailbox in the server. when the agent sewed showed hit an administrator had manually deleted backup files and used bleach bit, he stated he did not recall. in addition, he stated he could not recall the contents of the march 25th, 2015 call. >> you look at this. this is absolutely sickening how they handled this person, combetta. in their opinion, he had lied to

them twice and regular interviews. he declined to answer certain questions invoking the fifth amendment. the agents thought and the prosecutors thought he had lied. they thought they had a decent chance. i think they had enough to do an indictment. if this have been bob mueller, think about what he did to papadopoulos, if he had been bob mueller or any other aggressive special counsel, they would've indicted him and put the fear of god into him and then tried to flip him. here he lies to them twice. they give him immunity. he admits he instructed justice which is what they suspected, by erasing items that were under an order to preserve them but after admitting that, he says you know what, that crucial conversation i had about these deletions on march 25, i can remember anything about that.

i know everybody is down on special counsels but this to me is why there should have been a special counsel in this investigation because a special counsel comes in and is a serious investigation, is a prominent person who is not intimidated by mrs. clinton or anybody else are david kindel, and it puts the fear of god into people. that simply wasn't done here. in addition to all of the outcome of the decision at the end, they already had given up. the decision at the end to let cheryl mills and ms. samuelson sit in on the investigation of mrs. clinton and the excuses for why they didn't issue a grand jury subpoena are just absolutely appalling. this is not the way bob mueller would've done it. >> laura: we also learned a couple of those things. we learned jim comey himself user gmail account for official business. [laughs]

it's like contagious here. he uses an unsecure email account to do fbi business, number one. number two, we learned that fbi agents routinely got perks and benefits from journalists when they had no business talking to journalists. i guess i day got tickets, dinners. drinks and meals. some of them were attorneys. >> it's hard to understand what was going on. the rank-and-file in the field offices of the fbi often rolls its eyes a lot of things that fbi headquarters does. i'm sure it's happening today. we often keep our distance from headquarters. it's unbelievable now to hear this stuff coming out. first of all, these guys never should have been running investigation. these investigations should've been run out of the washington field office by experienced agents who do this day in a dad.

fbi managers who are not investigators, they left the investigative world to go into the management chain and work their way up. these are not seasoned investigators no matter what they want to call themselves. this needed to be done out of field office. fbi headquarters provides oversight but they shouldn't be making the investigative decisions. as you get higher in any bureaucracy, you become more politically sensitive. this was being done by politically sensitive people. i think there is a stark difference between these investigations, the clinton investigation and the russian investigation and since we have the same basic investigative teams starting out both, we need to know why there's a difference. now we know the biases are brought to the table. now we know that strzok wanted to reprioritize the russian investigation over the clinton email investigation. they were done differently. i want to know why a grand jury was never ceded for the clinton email investigation. it was then not very aggressive

investigation. you have to seat a grand jury, issue grand jury subpoenas. put people under oath before a grand jury if you want to do a serious investigation. >> there were sub subpoenas. just to make it clear. there were some grand jury subpoenas. no witnesses were ever forced to come to the grand jury. >> laura: people are given immunity. he should never have been given immunity. at one point they were shocked that i think it was cheryl mills who was in the meeting when they were discussing whether to subpoena hillary clinton. what is cheryl mills doing? and it fbi conversation about whether to subpoena. >> potential witness in the same case. >> laura: i mean, sol, you learned this, right, and ethics class in law school? continuing legal education. we have to do that for the fbi. this is insanity, complete craziness. anyway, great panel. great panel to all of you. thank you so much for your insight. i want you to stare therefore important reaction to the ig report. you are not going to see it

>> laura: continuing coverage of the ig report out today. despite a number of explosive revelations, some lawmakers are still suggesting the parts may been redacted. joining me not to give us exclusive reaction's house intel chair devin nunes. congressman, this is what we've all been waiting for. on this matter, the hillary email matter, your initial reaction. >> the first thing i can think of is there was information we got today at 11:00, 12:00 that

chairman gowdy had to call and tell me what it was, text messages that we have been asking for since late last year. these are text messages that clearly were pertinent to our investigation and to fisa abuse and the russian investigation, whether or not there was collusion. these are emails or text messages that somebody held a from us. every day that goes by, there's a new example of obstruction of the congressional investigation. >> laura: i want to read to you between an exchange between lisa page and peter strzok, the star-crossed lovers. she basically said she was -- donald trump is going to get elected, right, right? he answers basically don't worry. we will stop it. no, no, no, we will stop it. what does that tell you? the lead investigator, the lead investigator. >> lead investigator on the clinton email case. starts off the counterintelligence investigation using our

intelligence agencies to go after the target, the trump campaign. this is a guy who leads at all. worse than all that, worse than all that and i want to repeat what i said in the opening. why wasn't that given to congress? why did i find out about that today at noon? this is a classic case of obstruction but the question is who's going to investigate these guys? we're going to be very transparent with the american people, were going to get all the documents we want. ultimately this is all going to spill out and people are going to ask, well, what are you going to do? who is going to get busted? who's going to go to jail? >> laura: lisa page's text was released before but the strzok "don't worry. no, no, no we'll stop it." that came today. >> hop without a possibly been redacted? that's the problem. they keep blacking things out across the board, not giving us documents that at the end of the day always end up being very pertinent to our investigation.

>> laura: the ig wrote the following in one part of the report. "under these circumstances, we do not have confidence that strzok's decision to prioritize the russian investigation of the following up on the midyear related investigation lead investigated discovered on the weiner laptop was free from bias." so the ig cannot constantly state that it was free from bia bias. they are saying there was no political bias on the part of comey. they are trying to downplay it. >> let me tell you what we know. i've never said this before. we had whistle-blowers but we couldn't really use the information but now that it's in the ig report, we can. we had whistle-blowers who came to us in late september of 2016 will talk to us about this laptop sitting in new york that had additional emails on it. the house intelligence committe

committee, we had it but we couldn't do anything about it. >> laura: when was that again? >> incorporated 2016. >> laura: do you know when exactly? >> etiquette was late september. >> laura: ultimately they didn't move on this until late october. >> good fbi agents brought this to our attention, but what could we do with it? >> laura: there is another exchange i want to bring to your attention. >> i say that because of the classified and this is a game that comey and company have been playing that they hide behind this -- >> laura: they all thought hillary was going to win. rocking the boat was tough. he made a decision to go after that laptop because he thought if someone finds out about it, they are going to bake the whole election was illegitimate. >> what's also true as i think the same people in charge today still believe they can run the clock out and they are trying to run the clock out for the rest of the congress that we get finish our investigation. >> laura: are there still people in the fbi today who believe they operate by a

different set of rules? >> at the top. at the top, i think that is still true. we heard some great word statement christopher wray, the new director. but i will tell you it's a little frustrating because we have these very conversations with him many months ago where we said look, you are not responsible for any of it. you need to clean this up, and we will support you and cleaning it up but yet here it is today we get this text message at noon today, one that's absently pertinent to our investigation. maybe they have a good excuse for it but the problem with it is if they didn't give it to us it's a problem. if they didn't know about it it's an even bigger problem. >> laura: there's other things, another exchange. fbi attorney sent -- they don't identify who this is. i think it's important to know who this is. for some reason, we can't get the person's name. fbi attorney number to send an instant message to fbi attorney number one commenting on the amount of money the subject

of an fbi investigation have been paid while working on the trump campaign. fbi attorney one says is it making you rethink your commitment to the trump administration? fbi attorney number two says hell no. >> the ig report, there's five people been kicked off the campaign. if there's five people been kicked off the campaign or off the mueller team, how is it possible if you look at the rest the people that are there, they were all clinton donors. i don't know how this is going to end up fairly. i don't know. >> laura: should we learn the names of these attorneys who were sending these messages who

were part of the resistance? >> i don't know why. unless they are and are undercover agent. >> laura: it says they are attorneys. >> this is the type of stuff that always happens. >> laura: now i know you how you feel because i feel like it's happening to the whole country now. there was another issue involving fbi employees at every level of the organization. this is from the report. with no official reason to be in contact with the media. who were nevertheless in frequent contact with reporters. the large number of fbi employees who were in contact with journalists during this time. impacted our ability to identify leaks. and they were getting perks, getting tickets. >> they have been leaking like crazy. the problem is the ig report discovered that. this happened a couple years ago. but don't forget the leak that

just occurred last week where at midnight the department of justice sends out this devin nunes and paul ryan had a chance to read documents and they didn't read them. remember that? that was a leak in the middle of the night, it midnight press release so that we would wake up in the morning and have to answer all this new narrative they are creating the republicans asked for documents. this is what we are dealing with. it's not as if the leaks have stopped. now they are doing it, the fbi people were leaking. now it's at the top level the department of justice that's leaking. >> laura: there was a few people in the media downplaying all of this grant want to play for you a short montage. watch. >> i expected a sledgehammer. we got the same kind of hammer used to nail painting on the wall. i was surprised at how mild it was. >> if you look at the assault on the fbi that's taken place, that's been the call of some of the opposition saying these are

crooks. they are corrupt. they tried to throw an election. this report does not say that. >> laura: congressmen. >> if you look at the one gentleman on there, that's the guy that it is one of comey's buddies working at the fbi. a lot of these agents, the other networks have hired all of these former fbi and doj clinton people and obama people and that's what this is. >> laura: nothing there to see. congressman, you still have a lot more to get to with the russia investigation. >> we are almost there. we're almost there. there's a reason why they've been hiding these documents for two months. probably very similar to what we found in the ig report. we do thank you. appreciate you coming into night. i have my own take on runaway prosecutors at the highest levels of government. he did not want to miss tonight's angle. before roger stone and dinesh d'souza react. that's coming up in just a minute.

>> laura: prosecutors, politics, and personal ambition. that's the focus of tonight's angle. as a former criminal defense attorney, i saw my share of individuals and companies caught in the cross hairs of government investigators who desperately wanted a trophy on the wall. we know the scenes. a ceo arrested and cuffed at his or her office for all the employees to see for maximum humiliation. a prosecutor holding a press conference claiming the evidence will show that some high profile person is guilty of myriad crimes. meaning jail for the rest of his adult life. tall high drama. it's all like an episode of law & order. now of course we need prosecutors to help lock up the bad guys, whether they are white-collar criminals or violent offenders.

when they are operating professionally, talking about prosecutors, and in good faith, they should be recognized for the public service they provide. but long before today's ig report was released, come on, most of us knew the fbi's handling of the clinton email and russia probes are textbook examples of how cases should not be handled. of course, the usual suspects spent most of the day downplaying the findings of the ig. the ig found no political bias. no, it is just run-of-the-mill insubordination here. >> we just got the same kind of hammer you used to anneal in a painting on the wall. the hillary case was properly decided on the law. that's headline number one. number two, no indication or evidence that political biases. >> deeply disturbing the republicans remain obsessed with undermining our intelligence and law enforcement agencies. >> laura: okay, nice try, nancy. the ig's findings show the

opposite. as we discussed earlier, the evidence shows that fbi director jim comey operated according to his own set of rules in the clinton email investigation. "comey admitted he concealed his intentions from the doj until the morning of his press conference on july 5, and instructed his staff to do the same. we found it was extraordinary and insubordinate for comey to do so. we acknowledge that comey faced difficult choices in late october 2016. however, we found it extraordinary that comey assessed that it was vested that the fbi director not speak directly with the attorney general and the deputy attorney general." like so many people in this town, he thought, jim comey, that his title gave him a license to ignore basic prosecutorial protocol. no wonder he wasn't all that keen on pursuing hillary's use of an unsecured server given the

fact that we found out today that he himself was using a personal gmail account to conduct government business. even hillary referenced vat in a tweet today. and if you, like i, thought comey came off as incurious in television interviews for that stupid book of his, check out this tweet. he said today in a tweet "i respect the doj. ig office which is why i urge them to do this review. the conclusions are reasonable even though i disagree with the them. people of good faith can see an unprecedented situation differently. i pray no director faces it again. thanks to ig's people for hard work." he lost me at "people of good faith." notice by the way how he makes himself out to be the victim here. it's unbelievable. comey should change his middle name to hubris. the man has learned absolutely

nothing from this experience. and remember, by the way, this is the guy who signed off on three fisa applications and didn't think it was necessary to tell the fisa court that hillary paid for the steele dossier. this is the same man who allowed peter strzok, the fbi agent, to change the description of mrs. clinton's use of the private server from grossly negligent to merely extremely careless. so as not to trigger the underlying criminal statute. but of course there was this breaking news to compete with the ig release today. >> the new york attorney general had just announced a lawsuit against the donald j. trump foundation. >> filed less than an hour ago, a 41 page civil complaint alleging that the donald j. trump foundation was actually an empty shell. >> new york's attorney general is suing president trump and his

three oldest children alleging "self-dealing another persistent illegal conduct." >> laura: i'm sure this is all just coincidence, the timing of the lawsuit. come on. against the trump foundation. it's beyond suspicious. remember, it comes from the new york attorney general's office. consider the source. disgraced former attorney general of new york eric schneiderman who you might remember sent out a fund-raising email right after the investigation into the foundation was opened. he is a truly odious figure who abused and humiliated his female victims and then used his office and his position to threaten them into silence. mark my words. we haven't heard the last of what he did to his victims. and the person who continues his crusade, barbara underwood, who set up on taking over for schneiderman, "i believe this job at this moment in history is the most important job i have

ever had." yeah, little subtlety there. think about it. donald trump operated a foundation that had zero overhead, no administrative costs, and gave away more than $19 million to a variety of charitable causes. trump and his companies personally port $8 million into the foundation. now there was a mistake and contribution made to pat bondi's campaign but it was rectified once it was discovered. in other words, this is a penny-ante stuff that would never be pursued by the new york state of attorney general's office if donald trump hadn't gotten into politics. it's another example of politicized law enforcement, and abuse of process. this time it was through a civil action on the state level. where were they, by the way come at the federal level when the clinton foundation was accepting funds from foreign governments

while hillary was secretary of state? some of them wants to get meetings with hillary. meanwhile, comey and his political activists posing as agents vent the legal standards for hillary clinton, allowing her to walk free. and they assumed that she was going to be going into the white house. let's not forget. clinton is setting up that private server, made up her own rules, justice comey did in clearing her of any criminal wrongdoing. my friends, this is all a hideous perversion of justice. now fbi director christopher wray is insisting the ig report clears the fbi, though, of structural responsibility. >> nothing, nothing in this report impugns the integrity of our workforce as a whole. >> i'm sorry. you are wrong. there are consequences. the consequences are that your fellow citizens question whether

or not they can have confidence in the world's premier law enforcement agency. >> laura: remember when jim comey said this? >> it makes me mildly nauseous to think we might have had some impact on the election. >> laura: [laughs] it makes me wildly nauseous reading this ig report and learning how comey and his colleagues intended to impact the election. and they failed. and that's "the angle." two men who know all too well what it's like to be targeted by the government. stay right there because roger stone and dinesh d'souza react next. puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. she told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar,

but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. (announcer) victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. gallbladder problems have happened in some people. tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. side effects can lead to dehydration,

which may cause kidney problems. change the course of your treatment. ask your doctor about victoza®.

>> laura: joining us now are two men have been unfairly targeted by investigators tangled up in that mess. informal presidential survivor roger stone, author of a new book "stones rules." and filmmaker dinesh d'souza whose new movie "death of a nation: can we save america second time" comes out august 2. it's great to have you both on tonight. dinesh, let's start with you, whether it's the new york state attorney general's office going after the child foundation that gave away $19 million with no over head, no administrator costs, which a lot of wealthy people do. they set up their own foundations and donate the money.

whether that or we find out about the bias in peter strzok in the merry band of prosecutors the ig report. what's your take away? which of the american people be thinking? >> i think the american people, like me, are arriving at the realization that in america today there are quite a few criminals with badges. growing up as i did in india, we had a lot of corruption and we knew there were criminals on the street and there were criminals with badges. the criminals with badges are more dangerous because they don't just violate the law. they crept the law. they exploit the neutrality that you expect of them. they pervert the democratic process, as peter strzok tried to do. by essentially raking. think about this. this is unprecedented. the fbi attempting to come in a sense, shape the outcome of a democratic election. these are terrible things happening now in america.

i think the american people are realizing that something needs to be done about them, and it's not enough to know about them. some action needs to be taken. >> laura: it's like you're operating in an alternative universe if you watch any of the other networks tonight. it's no big deal. let's move on to stormy daniels. roger, i have to read part of this report. a lot of stuff not being covered it all again by other media outlets. this is a quote from the report. november 9, 262, text message from an unidentified fbi employee. day after the election. "all the people who were initially voting for her would not and were not swayed by the decision the fbi put out." in other words, delete weiner emails. trump supporters were all poor to middle-class, uneducated, lazy pos for think he will magically grant them jobs for doing nothing. they probably didn't watch the debates, artfully educated on its policies and are stupidly wrapped up in his unmerited

enthusiasm. has anything ever encapsulated, roger, the elite disdain for the american people. >> now, and i think when we get to the bottom of it, were gonna find out that at the end of the day, the obama justice department, the obama fbi use the authority and the capability of this state in a bogus dossier to conduct surveillance on the republican candidate for president and to infiltrate his campaign with spies. fbi director wray today said we respect the congressional oversight. at the same time, refusing to hand over any information regarding that very fbi infiltration of the trump campaign. >> laura: dinesh, magically jim comey has already written an op-ed for "the new york times" " [laughs] it's already written. published today. i'm going to share a small part. he said "this independent assessment will be useful to

thoughtful people and an important contribution and historical record. it's detailed reports served to both protect and build a reservoir of trust and credibility necessary for the doj and the fbi to remain strong and independent." wild. the man has learned zippo. >> you see the collusion between the deep state operating behind closed doors and organizations like "the new york times" which time these counterpoints to immediately try to defuse the impact of the ig report. what i want to know here, roger mentioned the notion of getting to the bottom of it. the tremendous kind of glee and sense of immunity with which these agents at the high level of operating suggest to me that they would not do it without someone giving the order. there's the question from the godfather. who gave the order? you know, laura, the phrase, who benefits? who gave the order?

hillary benefits but hillary clinton clearly could've given the order. she was secretary of state and then she was out of the government. obama on the other hand very much did not want trump to win. he knew that trump would try to erase his legacy. very embarrassing for him to be succeeded by trump. i wonder if obama is the one who gave the order. >> laura: roger, we have some emails to that effect. final thoughts. we already found out the president lied when he said he found out about hillary's private email servers whenever video stood. now i find out he's one of the 13 people she communicated with on the private server using the private email account, so he lied about that. >> when you add to the back of peter strzok says in one of his text messages the president wants to know everything, the question is very clear. went to the president know and when did he know it. he answered that question. i think he has to answer it under oath to congress. >> laura: he is going out on the campaign trail always going to be fanning out the election season. thank you both.

phenomenal analysis is always from both of you. now we have some breaking news on immigration to bring to you after the break. this is very important. ron desantis is here to give us the latest. stay there. we know the great outdoors. we love the great outdoors. get started fishing during the gone fishing event at bass pro shops and cabela's. with free kids fishing at our catch-and-release pond. and great deals on great gifts for dad! like flag t-shirts for only $5. and an igloo 120 quart cooler for under $50. bass pro shops and cabela's. (dnice, candace, but this time bold. did someone say "bold?" (gasping)

>> laura: justin moments ago, house g.o.p. releasing the text of their new immigration proposal expected to be brought to the floor as early as next week. wow. what's the rush? among the highlights: ending the

controversial policy does catch and release ensuring miners who enter the country illegally are not separated from the parents. that's not going to draw more people and parent calls for an end lottery system. but instead reallocate for 55,000 visas to supposedly a merit-based program. let's discuss with congressman ron desantis. and money for the wall, barely. 25 billion for the wall. ron, no e-verify which i'm told doesn't matter i think it matters. the chamber doesn't like e-verify. e-verify means you don't get to work unless you are verified to be legally in the country, correct? chamber doesn't wanted. >> if you are doing an amnesty that's 1.8, moving more million people. >> laura: we didn't have that in the bullets. >> it's going to create an incentive for more people to come illegally. if you don't have e-verify to kind of remove a disincentive, that wall, even if it's a good faith effort at the wall, and i'm not sure it is, it ain't going to be built in a day.

you need to strip the courts of jurisdiction. this will get tied up forever with the wall. without e-verify coming or going to have a border surge like we had in 2014. that obviously is going to have a lot of people moving. they are going to be able to move product across the border. drug cartels. >> laura: 293 pages. we haven't had time to go through the whole thing. >> the goodlatte bill has what we campaigned on. the goodlatte bill and chain migration. we do they say they won't get it through. it's not going to pass the senate. probably will pass the house, although paul ryan is going to bring it next week. goodlatte was involved in running the new bill. i don't know if he was or not. >> we need to defund sanctuary cities. we need e-verify, end chain migration, get rid of the visa diversity lottery. may people go on record. it's not a popular vote in the republican party but even in the democrats district, people want e-verify. it's not even a partisan thing

at the grassroots level. >> laura: business doesn't want e-verify so the money is coming into these campaigns. they do not want to check the identity of people. >> that means it undermines the rule of law, harms taxpayers and lowers wages for americans. >> laura: but they will say it's the best we can do. and it does address some of the chain migration. we'll see how much it addresses. we understand that the amnesty could reach parents as well. it's not just the dreamers. parents are included. >> it's going to the senate and either died or they're going to make yours. those were the only two options. the senate ain't going to just pass this. so you're really running a risk. >> laura: devil's advocate. they say the freedom caucus people, you never can govern. you say you want to get something done but then when you can get something done, limit chain migration, bring down the visa, you say no, were not going to do it. >> the goal is to end illegal immigration. this would feel more illegal immigration if you don't have things like e-verify. will it work?

yes or no. >> laura: the president has got to think long and hard about this. seems like a bum-rushed to me. i do like the feeling of being rushed. >> no committee hearings. >> laura: that's it for us tonight. we'll be in san francisco tomorrow. tune in. shannon bream and the news night team is next. stay here. >> shannon: regular much. -- thank you very much. we began sniper the fox news alert. there's a ton of breaking news tonight with regard to the inspector general. extensive coverage on the doj bombshell report that came out today. it's all about the handling of the hillary clinton email and investigation. let me tell you who we've got on tap tonight with us. catherine herridge of course. former assistant u.s. attorney andrew mccarthy. house intelligence committee member congressman chris stewart is going to be here. along with longtime clinton watcher peter schweizer. he's going to join us as well. he's been tracking the clintons for years. they will always end. plus, tonight's late. as you heard laura talking, we had that immigration packages coming together
