p.m., the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and especially groupthink. try to break its factors if you can. we were back tomorrow. in the meantime, sean hannity live from new york city. >> sean: i always love that "dirty jobs" show. i always did all those jobs. that's a great show. mike is a great guy. tucker, great show. this is a fox news alert. we are now monitoring a very serious situation tonight out of houston. multiple police officers were shot while serving a narcotics warrant. the suspect is believed to be dead. we're going to keep you posted as this horrific story unfolds. we start tonight, though, with "hannity watch" on the deep state and turn to robert mueller's ongoing witch hunt. january 25th, 17 vehicles including two armored tactical trucks rolled into roger stone's fort lauderdale neighborhood. two dozen heavily armed federal agents dressed in s.w.a.t. gear

surrounding his home, pounding onrr his door, and taking stone into custody. while the cnn cameras are there to watch, of course. he's not charged with a violent crime.nn he's not a drug kingpin. he's not a ruthless gangster mafia guy. this isn't el chapo. instead, stone has been indicted on several, again, processing violations, including lying to congress. once again, nothing to do with russia. because roger stone is not a risk to society, he was let out immediately on bail, on his own recognizance, right here on this program he will join us tonight in minutes. we'll talk about these tactics which are now all too common. the question remains, why this show of force? after all, he would have happily turned himself in. of course, we've seen this with paul manafort, michael cohen. it is an outrageous abuse of power. where is fbi director wray on this? so this is the new standard?

s.w.a.t. teams, 27 people, cnn cameras, tactical armored vehicles. somebody charged with lying? as it turns out, this only applies to those associated with president trump. take,h for example, former obama a.g. eric holder. where is his fbior raid? he has a long history of lying. including some surrounding a blatant coverup, oh, the fast and furious scandal. what about the obama officials who lied to congress about the plan to give iran access to u.sh banks as an incentive to sign off on that horrible nuclear deal? are their houses going to be surrounded? what aboutor the former irs official lying about the persecution of tea party groups? federal agents going to drag her out in cuffs? what about comrade john brennan? he lied before congress on multiple occasions about hillary's bought and paid for dirty dossier.

or james clapper's perjury about the nsa. where's that. don raid? we can't forget hillary. she has the biggest slam dunk case of objection of justice violating the espionage act we've ever seen. are they going to have a guns blazing raid for hillary clinton? the danger here, this is a two tiered system of justice. that's what's shocking. it's also dangerous. itme should disgust every amerin to their core because it doesn't matter where you stand politically, it's a clear and present danger to what is our great democratic republic. these are the actions of a banana republic. rank and file members, law enforcement are working hard every day to keep this country safe. those rank and file officers and field agents, they have no say in any of this. instead, we have a few very powerful, topav echelon bureaucrats in washington working equally hard to destroy the trump administration, invalidate the 2016 election,d protect their friends from ever being held accountable, like

hillary. exoneration before investigation. the phony dossier. lying to fisa court judges and committing fraud. with that said, the witch hunt is now, according to reports, in itsan final days. according to the new acting ag, matthew whitaker, the investigation was close to being completed. watch this. oh, apparently not. >> right now, the investigation is, i think, close to being completed and i hope that we can get the report from director mueller as soon as possible. >> sean: so here we are, 621 days, the witch hunt now may be almost over. so far, zero evidence of any collusion.t meanwhile, the president of the united states, he does have important work to do. namely, the safety and security of the american people. let's not your hearts be troubled. this is a president who keeps his promises. so i have a couple of questions

for my conservative friends that are mad at the president for allowing congress three weeks to do their job, make a deal on immigration, and open the government in the interim. here's the question. do you believe for one second, do you really believe the president has stopped his full-on fight over the border wall that he has promised? has he not shown he's a tenacious fighter? when it comes to keeping his promises? i said this before. in my opinion, i don't care where the money comes from, i don't care how they get it as long as they build the wall to keep us safe. don't let what is what i believe a shift in strategy fool you because i don't have any doubt that the president is going ton fight as hard, if not harder, for the money for the wall. because in this case, his fight is principled. think about this. the president, he's talking about safety ands security, even life and death of the american people. he talks about stopping drugs and cartels and gangs, human and drug trafficking.

where were chuck and nancy? what were they fighting for? they wouldn't even talk to the president, wouldn't sit down. they abandoned the process. furloughed workers, daca kids, dreamers, the very things they have said over and over and over are so important to themem that the president offered to them just to cater to the radical and extreme hate-trump base of theirs. the only question now on democrats, are they willing to make a deal or not? t are they going to let the left run that party? because in three weeks, democrats can come to the table, work out a a compromise that ges them the things they say they wanted. when obama was president, they sounded like trump on the wall. if democrats are unwilling to fund the border security, the president can and should declare a national emergency. he will build the wall with billions of dollars in funds that he allocates. probably going to take a courtil fight. democrats will go liberal judge shopping in the ninth circuit. as commander in chief, i believe

on the law and the constitution, this president's going to win this battle in the courts. if not, he'll move to plan c. what we should be doing is putting aside political differences, working together to keep the american people safe, and stopping the 90% of heroin from coming across our southern border, or fentanyl, which is killing people every day. that's why a group of border patrol wives have invited speaker pelosi to mcallen, texas, to witness the effects of our pourous border firsthandts herself. she rejected a meeting with angel moms and dads outside her office. wouldn't meet with them. think about this, any future crimes resulting from open borders, the democratic party will now own. they will be partly responsible. sadly, it's unlikely that pelosi will accept the invitation. by the way, we have a new 12,000

persons drawn caravan. what if they come to an area that isn't secure? both sides are at risk. she doesn't seem to care. to democrats, anyone affected by the shutdown or our flawed immigration system, even angel moms and dads are just pawns in their political game. the democrats think their resistance to border security somehow harms the president politically, they better start playing chess. as more crime happens, as more drugs come into this country, they will get the blame they rightly deserve. look at this new "wall street journal"-nbc poll. it shows the president support remained steady throughout the shutdown. according to other polling, the president's approval rating remains high a democratically held districts that he won in 2016. also keep in h mind, as former speaker of the house newt gingrich pointed out,, and january of 1983, ronald reagan had a 35% approval rating. two years later, he swept 49 states and was overwhelmingly reelected.

all because he kept his promises, fought for the american people, the economy turned around, fought against the far left detractors. sound familiar? we can't predict 2020, but it brings us to our "hannity watch" on the radical crop of 2020 democratic hopefuls. unlike 2018, this year's going to be awesome. 2018, they were hiding their positions. 2020, they're going to all try toto out-radical each other. get ready. every democrat who wants to run for president is about to take that hard turn to appease what is now the radical, extreme socialist democratic party base. take, for example, possible contender andrew cuomo. now honest people can have a difference as to when life begins.eo celebrated a bill in new york state making late-term abortion legal. now, according to now new york state, you can get an abortion in the seventh month of pregnancy, the eighth month of pregnancy, and the ninth month

of pregnancy. that would be called infanticide. viable lives can now be destroyed? with the seal of the new york legislature putting their seal of approval? i don't care what your position on abortion is, you know, for the first three months, viability, when you thinkit life begins. these are fetuses that can live on thei own. it is grotesque, it is gruesome, it is extreme. then there's california. senator kamala harris just kicked off a her 2020 camping ts weekend, but she laid the groundwork months ago when she was comparing i.c.e. to the ku klux klan. you may remember this. >> the klan is what we would call today a domestic terrorist group. >> why? why would we call them a domestic terrorist group? >> because they tried to use fear and force to change political environment. >> and what was the motivation

for the use of fear and force? >> based on race and ethnicity. >> right. are you aware of the perception of many about how the power and the discretion at i.c.e. is being used to enforce the laws and do you see the parallel?en >> i do not see any parallels between officers and agents -- >> i'm talking about perception. >> i do not see a parallel between what is constitutionally mandated as it relates to -- >> are you aware that there's the perception -- >> i.c.e. in the same category as the kkk. is that what you're asking me? >> sean: i mean, these guys put their lives on the line to keep our country safe. really? comments like that only win the favor of radical left wing extreme democrats and their biggest ally is, of course, the mainstream media. needless to say, they weref vey excited, the media, over senator harris' big announcement. reminded me of their love of

obama. take a look.ce >> she looked presidential. there was just no two ways about that. the woman has a ton of class. >> i don't know about you, but the second i saw her up there, i said, wow. >> uh-huh. >> she's got what it takes. >> the most serious candidate getting in. by that i mean, a really wellt thought out argument for why shi should be running. >> i think she's top tier right out of the gate. >> she's clearly bright and, you know, has a new feeling about her. but this -- this really came together. >> i think she's incredibly dynamic and really represent the future of the party. >> sean: wow, that didn't take long. mainstream media is giddy. some of harris' policies are downright scary, though. watch this. >> i am running to declare once and for all that healthcare is a fundamental right, education is a fundamental right. [cheers and applause]

and we will guarantee that right with universal pre-k and debt-free college. i am running to guarantee working and middle class families an overdue pay increase.in we welcome refugees and bring people out of the shadows and provide a pathway to citizenship. reproductive rights are not just protected by the constitution of the united states, but guaranteed in every state. >> sean: reading a prompter, here we go again. sound familiar? it's pretty clear senator harris is trying to placate this radical socialist base, which is not going to be good for the country.s oh, obama, 13 million more americans on food stamps. 8 million more in poverty. takes on more debt than every other president before him combined. make no mistake. lofty, big government policies come with a price. for example, look of the people of venezuela. they're paying that price. once upon a time, remember, they

were promised universal health care, education, pretty much everything. instead, what did he do? it ended up in death, destruction, and chaos. we now have 3 million venezuelans fleeing their country because of poverty and hunger. hyperinflation. 80,000%. home to the world's largest oil reserves, could be one of the richest countries. venezuela, the poster child for socialism's failures. it's never worked. food shortages, lack of public services, skyrocketing crime rate. full-blown health care crisis. for example, 2016 piece, "new york times" revealing gruesome details like the high rate of deaths for newborns and new mothers. basic supplies like gloves vanishing. patientsts having to retreat to the black market to get cancer drugs and save their lives. here's what's more scary. this universal health care nightmare, championed by the late hugo chavez, sounds eerily similar to the plans of bernie sanders.

and alexandria ocasio-cortez. total government control, massive spending, more red tape, raising your taxes. how did obama, keep your doctor plan and pay less, work out? of course, socialists are never eager to talk about the costs, the real costs. take a look. >> number ten. >> countdown. >> medicare for all. is it too expensive? >> no. people often say, like, how are you going to pay for it. and i find the question so puzzling because how do you pay for something that is more affordable? how do. you pay for cheaper ren? you just pay for it. >> sean: how about some facts.y study, george mason university, this medicare for all plan, it comes with a whopping price tag of $32.6 trillion. that's $3.26 trillion per year over ten years. that's about almost every penny the e government takes in every

year. and congresswoman ocasio-cortez, well, since we know you're watching because you like to take picturesll and tweet us ou, what's the difference between what you're proposing and what so many other socialist countries have proposed? how will a government take over private medicine? how is it going to be different here? how great do you think obamacarl worked out? how do you guarantee patients quality of care and a system devoid of any competition, or will you start being honest with the american people and admit this is about government control? your power. you want the government to have more and more control of people's lives, health care, all while it's our bank accounts. you don't like the second amendment. you don't like the freedom that america offers and has made us different and created a standard of living that is the envy of the world. joining us now, steve scalise andd congressman devin nunes.

devin, let me start with you. we now see a pattern. that n is pre-dawn raids, 27 gu, 17 vehicles, tactical armor for lying to congress. what about all the democrats that lied to congress? i think you can name -- you have your own list. >> yeah, seems it's a little amoverkill. we're going to have plenty of people that actually the doj already knows about will have to make it more public if they fail to investigate this. i understand today from the acting attorney general's comments that he's anxious toan get these inquiries and helptt take them seriously. i'm happy to be hear about thatt we'll be glad to oblige them with plenty of names of people who have lied to congress. >> sean: if we have equal justice and equal application of our laws, all those people should get the storm/manafort/cohen treatment, right? if it's fair, equally applied? >> all of this dates back to

clinton opposition research fed into the fbi to start this investigation. and so, you know, we have a whole bunch of work to do. republicans working with the intelligence committee, judiciary committee, and the oversight committee, we're going to continue our investigation into these abuses and we're going to call people to come and testify to us. we're not sure that they will. we don't have subpoena power anymore. i just want to make sure everyone understands, these people are not going to get away with us, without us at least trying to hold them accountable. >> sean: but lindsey graham has promised in the senate that he willo continue. steve scalise, is this overkill and where's the fbi director? >> that's a good question. >> sean: lying to congress pre-dawn, guns raid into their home for lying to congress. is that appropriate in your view? >>co no. i mean if you look at this whole thing, it was about collusion with russia. between whether it's the trump campaign or the hillary clinton campaign.

we've seen -- and devin nunes when he was chairman -- has committee did thorough work to look into it. there was no iota of collusion. if you look at all of the leaks that came out of the fbi -- why aren't they sending some of those agents to find out where all the leaks are coming from and address s accountability within the fbi? where is that collusion? it would have leaked out. there is no collusion that we've seen. >> sean: is there any doubt inn your mind that what hillary clinton did with her e-mailsha that were subpoenaed, deleted, bleach bit, hammers, sim cards removed, is there any doubt that is obstruction? is there any doubt that when she put that server in a mom-and-pop bathroom closet with the fisa courts apply to repeatedly and purposely withheld information, gave, unverified information to those judges? the fbi has never given us real good answers on that, and

it doesn't pass the smell test, sean. u when you're doing that kind of damage to a server -- not only banging it with a hammer,o throwing it against a wall, bleaching it. what are they trying to hide? >> sean: look at the stone charges. >> exactly. >> sean: michael cohen admitted that he lied before congress. chairman nunes, do you see any difference here? or is it worse in the case of hillary? because i think it's worse. i think a fraud upon a fisa court is worse. >> they're not even close. no one should ever lie to congress.n everyone has their day in court, so i'm not going to pre-judge anyone. ecoay if someone says they're innocent, they have a right to a fair trial. but the obvious one you pointed out is the clinton server disappearing. that wasn't only obstructing a congressional investigation, that was obstructing an investigation at doj. we have james comey leaking classified information. that's never been investigated. we can go on and on with the

list. that's what we're going to getnd to the bottom of.o with or without the democrats, whether they want to cooperate or not. >> sean: we never seem to get there. we have all the evidence on our side. we never get to that. mueller never touches --dash there were russian lies fed to the american people. last quick question, if you don't mind. so do you agree with me, steve scalise, that, in fact, the stoppedt, he's not fighting on the wall, he's probably going to go the national emergency route if, in fact, congress cannot do its job in three weeks? >> i agree, sean. president trump called pelosi's bluff. she said she won't negotiate on the wall until the government's open. welcome of the governments back open. she has yet to put a dollar figure, literally $1, against the $5.7 billion that are experts who risk their lives say is going to take. it's about border security.

it's time for pelosi to say what she's really to support. >> sean: thank you both for being with us. a lot of news to get to tonight. a huge show. roger stone up next. then an exclusive one-on-one interview with chris christie. later, our "villain of the day," you're going to want to know who this is straight ahead. ♪ they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. ♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today.

about fashion. read rogers rules. roger stone blasting the treatment he received from the fbi. heavily armed officers, 27 of them, 17 vehicles, pre-dawn raid, guns drawn on his house amid lying to congress. the mueller investigation. meanwhile, stone is expected to be arraigned tomorrow in d.c. on seven counts including lying toe congress. joining us now with reaction, the author of "the myth of russian collusion: the inside story of how donald trump really won," republican strategist roger strawn. let's get into the pre-dawn read and all the people that we mentioned last statement that we never lied to congress. it doesn't happen to them. hillary got a pass by a guy that interviewed her that said he wanted her to win 100 million to zero. what do you make that this only happens to you, manafort, and cohen, but none of these otherwt people that lied to congress? not saying that you did, by the way. >> it's extraordinary. comey, clapper, brennan, mccabe,

hillary themselves all lied. in their case, they lied about material, consequential things. to the extent that i made errors of memory in my foreign half hours of voluntary testimony, they are inconsequential. this indictment is thinner. you've watched cnn. they'll tell you it's a slam dunk. my attorneys don't think so. but i'm targeted here because they want to silence me. i mean, i'm 66 years old. i support the second amendment, but i don't own a firearm. i don't have a valid passport, i'm not a flight risk. the court gave me -- essentially released me on bond on my signature, proving i'm not a flight risk. i can't swim, even though they hadd two amphibious units pulled up to the canal behind my house. they completely surrounded my house -- >> sean: you really can't swim? >> i really can't.t. t assault weapons pointed at my --

at my p -- at my chest. i opened the door looking down the barrel of two assault weapons. i'm wearing a "roger stone did nothing wrong" t-shirt and a pair of gym shorts. i'm barefooted. they handcuff me and walk me out the street. i'm concerned because my wife is hearing impaired.th she's virtually deaf without her hearing aids. she hadn't awoken. i was afraid they'd think she wasn't complying with an order and shoot her.nk the idea that they had to do this because they were worried that i would tamper or destroy evidence is absurd. i've been under investigation for two years. why would i wait until thursday -- by the way, i have w destroyed no evidence whatsoever and i'm charged with non-violent processde crimes. >> sean: process. here we go again. imthat's the point here. >> exactly. >> sean: it raises a lot of questions beyond the double standard, too. b raises questions about the tactics. but if we have a dual justice system in this country, say good-bye to the country. i'm serious. this should be nonpartisan.

for something like this, if there's no mueller investigation, there's no jeopardy at all for anybody and then you have to think of what judge ellis said. aree they putting the screws to you so you'll sing or compose, say what they want so you don't risk spending the rest of your life in prison? >> i think to a great deal, this is meant to silence me. my radio show at info wars.com is heavily censored. it's very hard for me to get the opportunity to defend myself. when i came out of the courthouse, i was being shouted down. i couldn't even make a statement. this is notor only an effort to silence me because i support donald trump and i've been a critic of the mueller investigation. i think donald trump is making america great again. he's my friend of 40 years. i have great affection for him and his family. i -- i'm not going to testify against him because i possess no negative information. there is no russian collusion.

this is a witch hunt. >> sean: wasn't everybody after the first wikileaks dump, wasn't everybody trying to figure out -- because wikileaks has a history of never being wrong. whether you like them or not, they've never been wrong. everybody was speculating. with all due respect, in one of your e-mails, i've seen it mentioned in the indictment, your speculation that whatever's coming next is about the clinton foundation, you were wrong, which kind of proves that you're fishing and digging and trying to figure out what might they have, let's find out what they have. you did not steal anything. .ou did not conspire to steal anything. the pentagon papers case, my reading of it is very clear. by the way, "the new york times" published wikileaks added all these publications. as long as you don't conspire to steal, you can print, you can go with stolen material of somebody else, correct? >> yes. they're trying to criminalize legitimate political inquiry. they're trying to criminalize free speech, which is really

what this is about. i honestly believe they are going to try to charge the president and the vice president with some hoped up frame of russian collusion. that way they can make nancy pelosi president. she can make hillary clinton vice president, and they'll step aside. it's a nightmare. i think that's what they have in mind. there is no russian collusion. i have no collaboration with wikileaks. i'm not charged with conspiracy. believe me, if they could have made that case, they would have. they want to silence me because i will stand up for donald trump. that's what this is about. >> sean: you have been -- you proudly say you operate in political dark arts, meaning, you also purposely try to mess with people's p heads. is that a fair characterization? >> sean, i got a tip, a legitimate tip that told me the wikileaks disclosures were significant and they would come in october. i hyped that tip to drive voter

attention and media attention to the ultimate disclosures because i was told they were a bombshell. that doesn't mean i knew what was in them. that's called politics. it's legal. it's what i do. >> sean: you were wrong on one of them. you were talking specifically about one podesta, were you not? >> i was talking about both podesta brothers. on july 31st, peter schweizer wrote a devastating monograph called "from russia with money." then on the 14th of august, breitbart published another story tying tony podesta to the same ukrainian political party as paul manafort. so i said the podestas' time in the barrel would come. what i was saying was, i intended to get that information on a background basis to a number of reporters.

any other narrative about what nhappened there is false. and there was no controversy about my tweet for six weeks. until it is alleged that stone wass foreshadowing podesta's e-mails being stolen. let me be clear. i never knew the source of the content of allegedly hacked or allegedly stolen e-mails. that is a lie. >> sean: alan dershowitz said it well, and i think it's evident inde all the 621 days. we are criminalizing political difference. we've got a dual justice system. that is a clear and present danger to this democraticc republic. i'm sure it's not a fun time for oyou and your family. they shouldn't have happened on a lot of levels. where's the collusion, there is none. none. roger, thank you. all right. when we come back, must-see interview. former new jersey governor chri, christie, he's got a lot to say about the trump presidency. exclusively in studio when we get back, straight ahead. ♪ in studio when we

of time. over the last 18 months or so -- >> sean: how can you defend this man? >> i can't defend this. >> sean: no, how could you defend andrew weissmann with his record in genie rate, and every appointment as a democrat? >> i can't defend andrew weissmann. ii wouldn't defend andrew weissmann. what i'm telling you is, this is a problem for bob mueller. >> sean: how does he hire clinton foundation attorneys? >> by the way, part of that, almost every one of those people governments have the justicef department. part of that problem is, there was no turnover when jeff sessions was attorney general to set new people into positions. how was andrew weissmann still the head of the fraud sector of doj for the entire time that jeff sessions is the attorney general? >> sean: four merrill executives to jail for a year, overturned9- circuit, 9-0 loss n the supreme court. tens of thousands of enron accounting employees. >> of course. to me, why was he still in the justice department to begin with? how does the attorney general of

the united states permitted to be in the justice department? >>st sean: wait a minute. this was mueller's choice to put andrew weissmann and jeannie rhee on this team and all democratic donors. >> i understand that. i'm not defending that. i'm not defending the radio. the raid is wrong. if he did not have weapons in that house, there is no reason to go with tactical units, with flak jackets on, automatic weapons and all the rest. there's no reason for it except to intimidate. that's the only reason to do it. that is an absolute inappropriate use of prosecutorial authority. >> sean: you talk about the president thought if general flynn was fired, the whole russia thing's over. obviously not the case. >> right. >> sean: one of the reasons you don't believe it, as every campaign is, there's chaos. nobody has time to say, oh, let me meet with putin. >> listen, i was there for aay good part of the campaign, as you know. as i said, this was a campaign and you know about this campaign. i say this in an admiring way, having lost to them.

this was not a traditional organized campaign. they were not going to do some clancy routine when they were still trying to figure out how to hire field operators in pennsylvania. we know that was the situation there. that campaign won because of the power and the ideas and the articulation of donald trump. that's what you hear from me ine this book. >> sean: he talked to you about being vice president. >> it was down to me and mike pence. absolutely. >> sean: you mention me in the book. thanks a lot. >> listen, you're part of the story. >> sean: i love being mentioned in the book. >> [laughs] it could be worse. >> sean: why do you tell stories -- like the story about -- to me, it's kind of sort of private between you and me. >> i think -- first of all, it wasn't because there were a whole bunch of people. >> sean: you- didn't have to put it in a book. >> i think it's an important thing to show this president's humanity and show his sense of humor. i think he's drawn by the mainstream media as a cartoon character. this is a guy who's a great

father and loves his children. i tell those stories in the book about his genuine concernn what effect this was going to havet n his kids and his kids being successful in the business and him always being there for them and now he wouldn't be able to. i talk about the great sense of humor he has in the joke that he played on me. i talked about the fact the first person who sat across from me and said, chris, you need to get a lap-band surgery, years before i decided to do it. what i'm trying to show by telling these stories is the humanity of donald trump because people draw him like a cartoon character and he isn't.m he's much more complicated than that. >> sean: you're a prosecutor. did hillary clinton violate the espionage act with that server? >> yes. >> sean: did hillary clinton obstruct justice with the subpoenaed emails, deleted -- >> if she deleted the e-mails while the subpoena was pending, then yes. >> sean: do we not have all brennan, clapper, all these people that i mentioned, did they not lie to congress and got caught, how come they don't get the raids in this case?

>> why don't you take an hour one night and have jeff sessions on here and ask him those questions. >> sean: jeff sessions -- i don't know what he was doing. i would like jeff sessions -- >> that's my point. >> sean: it turned into a disaster. >> who you picked as attorney general matters.s. it's one of the things i talk about in the book. the president has been victimized by some bad choices that were recommended to him and by a process that didn't work well for him. >> sean: aren't you worried, as a former prosecutor and governor, that we have a dual justice system, we have all these other people that lied under oath to congress, nothing happens to them. for example, hillary funnels money, her campaign money, through a law firm -- so it's legal expense -- to hire aa research group, qatar foreign nationals, russian lies that they spread to the american people, and then they use it to bludgeon the president ever

since. then they go to the fisa court. we learned that everyone in the fbi and doj by bruce ohr that everyone hates the president, that hillary paid for it, and it's unverified. how do you not verify -- and it turns out a lot of it is lies. hookers, ritz carlton. how do they get away with all of that and mueller pays no attention to it? >> first of all, we don't know whether he has or hasn't yet. >> sean: bull. i don't see it at all. >> we don't know yet. let's wait for the report. here's the other thing. let's say he isn't paying attention to it. where was the attorney general of theue united states? >> sean: you keep going back to that. but mueller hires a team of democrats," its own former attorney -- >> i'm not defending those hirings. what i'm saying to you is, if in fact that's what's going on and mueller is independent of -- >> sean: you trust this guy? why would mueller put that team together? >> here's what i believe.

right from the beginning, the justice department under donald trump was not run the way it should have been. >> sean: okay. i got that point. >> there was mayhem. >> sean: last question..ar >> the most important thing you said tonight, and the reason to answer the question you began by asking me, of course i'm concerned about this because if we don't have a fair justice system?-- >> sean: we don't. >> democracy is over. and that's exactly -- >> sean: last question. fisa court, there was a conspiracy to commit fraud. they never verified the lies that they put in the document. they minimized hillary's involvement. shouldn't all of those people now themselves pay that price? >> every one of those people who participated in that should be -- >> sean: comey, rod rosenstein. >> to exactly the same scrutiny that bob mueller -- >> sean: it's not happening. >> that's why i hope that the new attorney general that the that the president picked will do this. guess what.
