bill: inspector general's report slamming fbi leadership, the hillary clinton email program, the bureau vowing to fix the culture of political bias within its ranks, here to react to the explosive report former prosecutor, thanks for joining us this morning. a lot to go through here. 500 pages of material the most significant thing you find in this report. >> the most important was comey gave his press conference, two press conferences, he is the law enforcement side in the federal government, he is not the person supposed to be making decisions
1:15 am
to prosecute or not prosecute, and all the way down the local police agencies. and a civilian that is in charge of these very things. when come said no reasonable prosecutor will put this forward that may be true but that wasn't his decision to do that. i can add one thing to this. it is striking in the law enforcement community if you give a press conference, there are ethics rules. you either indicts or don't invite, there's a case or there isn't. heather: you don't give a case for indictment and know that she did all this but we are not going to. >> this is outside the criminal -- let's assume mueller stands up and give the press conference, that is not his job, that is rosenstein's job, let's say they say donald trump did
1:16 am
lead up to collusion which is possible. however, i -- donald trump was a bad guy because he did xyz, completely inappropriate. >> it was really scathing in reference to him and loretto lynch and his unilateral july 5th announcement was inconsistent for department policy and insubordinate for comey -- we concluded comey made a serious error of judgment. and right there, talking about the problems, his decisions, loretto lynch, her decisions with the tarmac meeting. what can possibly happen? no criminal charges moving forward. no suggestion of that or anything. >> comey you saying the tarmac
1:17 am
meeting with lynch which she should never have done and should have accused herself, let jim comey do these things, i don't think that will rise to the level, i see problems no one is talking about and it is a footnote in the report and that is where apparently people were leaking this shows me a culture of something really bad going on. heather: that is not supposed to happen in the fbi.
1:18 am
there is a graphic that shows reporters and fbi agents getting kickbacks to give information but let's move into that. how does become president, right? no, he won't, we will stop it. that is amazing. there were five other fbi agents, like this. >> other people were on the other side making commentary about donald trump. bottom line is i can't imagine being in a room, people talking negatively about the person they are investigating.
1:19 am
talking about their conduct, the idea this is going on and no one is stopping it tells me there is a massive cultural program. you can't live in a glass house and throw stones when you are a prosecutor or investigating, your responsibility to not do as i say, do as i do, your responsibility is to be higher than that, better than the people you're prosecuting. >> moving to the mueller investigation, several people involved in that, we will have you back and a lot to go through. we are out of time. the time is 20 minutes after the top of the hour. james knowme, the response the bombshell inspector general's report was released, carly shimkus with reaction flooding social media. ♪ is as easy as dates, deals, done!

we should be careful what we call someone in the us and we call someone in the us illegal. >> using terminology like illegal aliens entering the country is not viewed as constructive. the fact is -- heather: the comments about whether illegals were hurting american wages. press secretary sarah sanders firing back at a reporter in a tense briefing, cnn journalist questioning her about the atty. gen.'s bible reference earlier in the day about illegal immigration. >> i won't comment on specific comments. that is not what i said. i know it is hard for you to understand even short sentences i guess but don't take my words out of context. the separation of illegal families is a product of the same legal loopholes democrats

1:32 am
heather: democrats point out it did not find political bias in the fbi decision to clear hillary clinton in the investigation. disagree with that, read it for yourself. bill clinton was actually offended when he was criticized over his tarmac meeting with loretta lynch, sparking controversy with a 2016 conversation with ben atty. gen. just days before the fbi announced no charges against his wife. an interview with the inspector general he said i don't know whether i am more offended that they think i'm crooked or that they think i'm stupid. the ig report called it an error in judgment, you decide on that as well. there are concerns the fallout from the report will do serious damage to more row among rank-and-file fbi agents, the former fbi assistant director says agents need to know this was about james comey, not them. >> and fbi investigation, this
1:33 am
is james comey's investigation, he hijacked the investigation, they were not influenced by pressure or fear or politics, through his own office and never let the fbi do it. this was james comey deal with his minions that stopped to influence an investigation and not doing it. whether the director didn't have the courage to go forward with the proper investigation i don't know. but it is not our job to make an opinion. >> senators will get the first chance to question michael horowitz about his report on monday. we will have that with you on fox news of course. house republicans mulligan immigration compromise bill including a daca fix and funding for the border wall. democrats are focusing their attention on illegal immigrant

trying to for decades. and they thwart this, and a change in angela merkel, politically wedded to the current cause and that is a big mistake. heather: he was not able to get the materials, in mid-may, to move forward and create the tocsin. let's look at the numbers here. they sought asylum, and 9 terror attacks in germany since 2015, 6 of those were thwarted attacks in germany since 2015. in december 2016 where the truck was hijacked and went through killing people one after another and injuring them, it was really
1:38 am
horrific. one of the things angela merkel wants to do is take these immigration protecting borders, not unilaterally, a state-by-state basis. will that help? >> it depends on implementation and part of the problem is angela merkel, a coherent response to this issue, what the european union must fix. a very hard needle for her to thread because the views on immigration are very different as you go state-by-state within europe and this country, like greece and italy and part of the balkans, having federal strain placed on them, an overwhelming amount of that, it has to

joining us, really appreciate it. i will start with you and get your thoughts on this report. shouldn't we all be concerned about it? >> absolutely we should be very concerned that foreign agents got access to her email. what it looks like, what classified information is revealed and how it could be used is what we don't know yet and we are not going to know unless something breaks or something sinister occurs. the overall ig report, both sides can find solace in something to be upset about. republicans can point to the fact the fbi demonstrated significant levels there's a cloud of suspicion around how they reviewing donald trump's candidacy and what they might have done in a sinister motive to stop it. heather: wrapping up that want to focus on the mueller investigation. what we are talking about, this house memo documents provided to the committee show foreign actors obtained access to some

1:53 am
of her staffers. that is a good point robin makes. are there lessons to be learned from this? are we paying attention? >> absolutely. when it comes to it, what our government official doing, how they conduct business and doing it from a professional standpoint instead of using their personal emails, it may be for good reason, to use their gmail account over there official account but that opens them up to scrutiny because the level of security is not the same. of the 20 we mentioned president obama involved in this back and forth, former pres. obama's returned from the sidelines is overdue, why is that? is it a good idea? there's no one else out there? >> i will cut to the chase. joe biden is on a 50 state book tour. all optics art he is going to be running in 2020. i do think this is obama
