8:00 p.m., the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. b but don't go away. an special surprise for you tonight. tonight at 9:00, sean hannity will host a full hour of television. it begins right now. >> sean: tucker, great show as always. our special surprise show. welcome to "hannity." the democratic party, the deep state of the media mobs ivory tower is about to come crashing down tonight. the corrupt high-ranking unelected bureaucrats that rigged hillary clinton's investigation, tried to rig the 2016 election, then tried to destroy your duly elected president, are no longer safe room facing the justice they deserve. starting tonight, i'll explain in a minute, and coming weeks and days and months, there is deep state bureaucrats along with their friends in the democratic party, the hate hatp media mob, they will face what is an avalanche of facts, truth,

equal justice, and, yes, equal application of our laws. they will not be able to withstand the pressure. the boomerang of justice starts tonight. just hours ago, public and congress congress meant devin nunes is sent to criminal referral notification to the attorney general william barr. he believes the department of justice will in fact take these charges very seriously. many bad actors will be held accountable. get this, believe it or not, a prominent democrat, yes, has been charged as a result of the mueller investigation. where was the predawn raid, navy seals and frogs, amphibious vehicles, where was that? where was cnn? president obama's white house counsel greg craig has in fact been indicted, two counts of lying to investigators about his work for the pro-putin president of ukraine. remember, tell vladimir i'll have more flexibility after the election. yeah, he worked for that

president obama. it wasor obama's white house general counsel. keep in mind, the country of ukraine is begging us right now to open an investigation admitting they actually did involve themselves in collusion and it was between one of their government officials and the clinton campaign to help hillary in 2016. don't expect to see this get any attention from the rage trumped media mob. they don't care about collusion claims of course. unless they can use it against donald trump. no principles, just selective moral outrage. a take a look at the disparity in coverage between justice cavanaugh and the serious rape and sexual assault being laid against the lieutenant governor of virginia. now the media mob is busy freaking out over attorney general barr, stating an irrefutable fact, the trump campaign was spied on by our own government. the freak out begins. take a look. >> devised by an attorney general giving credence

to conspiracy theories. >> bill barr, one of our nation's most respected lawyers, turned in his tortoiseshell glasses for a tinfoil hat. >> barr has made really clear, i'm going to be an engine for the president of the united states, i am not the attorney general. >> the attorney general of the united states made a john russell to john hannity is a big deal. because buying. trump and his cronies, the new ag using that word. >> it increasingly looks like he is doing the president's dirty work. >> he makes an outrageous claim that roy cohn would make. this buying claim. >> sean: let me explain this very slowly to the dopes in the media again. from those fisa surveillance of carter page to the rampant unmf americans and trump officials to the overseas fbi's informants, make no mistake, the campaign of donald trump was spied on.

it's an undeniable, irrefutable fact with incontrovertible evidence. but now barr is putting together a team to investigate any and all wrongdoing during the fbi's year-long witch hunt into the president. needless to say, the swamp monsters are scattering like rats and that includes jim comey, who seems to be in a total state of denial. poor jim. take a look. >> i really don't know what he's talking about when he talks about spying on the campaign. spell i can react substantively when i use that word used. it's concerning. the fbi, the department of justice, conduct court ordered electronic surveillance. i have never thought of that as spying. if the attorney general has come to the belief that that should be called spying, wow. that will require a whole lot of conversations inside the department of justice, but i don't know what he meant by that term. factually, i don't know what he

meant because i don't know of any electronic surveillanceec aimed, court ordered electronic surveillance, aimed at the trump campaign. >> sean: really? okay. is he living an alternative universe, or does he just want us to forget about the time he signed off on the fisa application, the warrant application to spy on trump campaign official carter page? a member, the of that o information came from hillary clinton's uncorroborated phony russian dossier, that was the bulk of evidence. let me break this down for a super patriot jim comey, that knows better than we smell the walmart walmart a redeemable deplorable trump folders that tend to be angry and cling to our god, guns, religion, and bibles. according to ag rod rosenstein, in order to submit a fisa warrant, jim,, a career law enforcement official r must wear the information he's presenting to the fisa court is true and accurate. as a matter of fact, i'll let

rod remindoi you. >> there's a lot of talk about fisa applications. many people that i see talking about it seem not to recognize what a fisa application is. a fisa application is actually a warrant, just like a search warrant. in order to get a fisa a search warrant you need an affidavit signed by a career federal law enforcement officer who swears that the information in the affidavit is true and correct to the best of his knowledge anddt beliefs. that is the way we operate. if it's wrong, sometimes it is, if you find out there is anything incorrect in there, that person is going to face consequences. if it's wrong, that person is going to face consequences, jim. by the way, jim and rod rosenstein may have serious issues, as rod rosenstein personally signed the fourth fisa request, the third renewal when he wasn't planning on taping the president against his knowledge. the dossier was a pack ofed

russian lies, unverified, uncorroborated, paid for by hillary clinton. by the way, they never told the court directly. the asterisk, may have slight political taint. jim comey, you signed off on his application, and october of 2016. like you said, to the best of your knowledge, true and accurate or there are consequences. but then, that was october of 2016 you signed that. in january 2017, jim comey, you told then president-elect trump that its contents were salacious and unverified. you told him that at trump tower. so jim comey, did you lie on the fisa warrant application or to the president-elect trump? either way, that makes you a liar. i would bet you probably lied on the application to spy on an american citizen because you knew full well that even the author of the dossier, christopher steele, because bruce ohr warned you in august of 2016, he didn't know if the dossier was true because he

testified in an interrogatory in great britain, he has no idea if it's true, it's raw intelligence, 50/50. he had no idea if any of it was true. that would make that dossier unverifiable according to its own author! after old comey, many times before, you have the right to remain silent. it looks like you should have and may beadvice might want to start. meanwhile, known deep state leakers, liars john brennan, james clapper, they look very, very distraught. take a look. >> well, i was very disappointed in what attorney general barr said about spying. when he was referring to the investigation that was predicated, certainly, and the fbi was trying to understand exactly what the russians were doing. u.s. intelligence agencies spy against foreign adversaries so we can understand the threat to our national security. >> i thought it was most stunning and scary. i was amazed and rather disappointed that the attorney general would say such

a thing, that the term "buy-in" has all kinds of negative connotations, and i have to believe he chose that term deliberately.. >> sean: i'm sure he did do deliberately pray those two men were at the center of clinton's dossier dissemination, all while serving in the very highest, most sensitive levels of our government, our intelligence community.y. we need to address those officials. the tools we give them are powerful. they are not to be turned on the american people. john brennan, carper, national disgrace. so, too, the radical democratic lawmakers onla capitol hill. they are constitutionally mandated to perform oversight on the doj and the fbi. they are the ones who were supposed to root out corruption, abuse of power in the department of justice. tonight, they are only interested in perpetrating the russian hoax or tinfoil hat conspiracy theories yet again. those that have now been

debunked by four separate investigations. speaker pelosi telling the ap that she doesn't trust attorney general barr. she trusts robert mueller. someone should remind nancy about this direct quote from the mueller report. "the investigation did not establish that members of the trump campaign conspired are coordinated with the russian government and its election interference activities. those are not attorney general barr's words. those come straight from the mother report. that is not stopping congressman the last presidential candidate eric swalwell from talking about this collusion delusion and tak. today he doubled down on his tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that president trump is an agent of russia. take a look. >> when you were asked by chris matthews if the president as an agent of russia, you said yes. do you regret saying that? do you believe the president is an agent of russia?

speak of the act on their behalf. he puts their interests to half in the head of our own interests. >> would use the agent, what you mean? >> if he wasn't taking orders, he wouldn't take the interpreter's notes. if he wasn't taking orders, he would release the report that hw said he's 100 why does he act so suspiciously with russia? >> sean: either he's completely ignorant of the world around him or he's just lying to you. for example, president trump ramped up sanctions against putin's regime. he was compromised, why would he expel 60 russian diplomats, why would he authorize military action against putin's dogs in syria during a battle that resulted in a major public embarrassment for the russian dictator? don't forget president trump also pushed for increased military spending in the european allies as a deterrent initiative against russia, and pollutant. thanks to this administration, the united states is flooding

the market with american oil and natural gas. that is the lifeblood of putin's hostile regime. if america begins a to export massive amounts of oil and gas around the world to our european allies, to asia and elsewhere, we will absolutely destroy the economy of the hostile regime of vladimir putin. and the hostile actors in russia. byg the way, something no democrat would ever do. hillary clinton was too busy hitting reset buttons are getting kickbacks from putin's minions in the uranium one deal and obama was too busy reminding vladimir he'll have more flexibility after elections. it brings us h to other news tonight, and that is wikileaks, and its founder julian assange, four years, the media mob have obsessed over julian assange, spreading a baseless lie that he was the key to finding trump-russia collusion. now assange has been dragged out of the ecuadorian embassy in handcuffs. ecuador withdrew his asylum. british police arrested assange

on u.s. extradition warrant over a 2010 scheme to steal military secrets with former army intelligence analyst chelsea manning. remember, president trump said that assange's fate rested in the hands of the justice department. oh, manningng got a pardon. from obama. take a look. >> i know nothing about wikileaks. it's not my thing. i know there is something having to do with julian assange, i've been seeing what has happened with assange, and that will be a determination, i would imagine mostly by the attorney general, who is doing an excellent job. he'll be making a determination. i know nothing really about him. it's not my deal in life. i don't really have any opinion. i know the attorney general will be involved and he'll make a decision. okay? >> sean: oil assange will likely be fighting the extradition to the united states, where he would face charges, reaction around the world have been very mixed.

from the former ecuadorian president's lamp has excessive for allowing assange to be arrested, tweeting, "what he has done is a crime that humanity will never forget." glenn greenwald blasting the arrest is the criminalization of journalism. both the manning case and a link to dnc and podesta emails, assange maintains he was merely acting as a journalist publishing information provided to him from his sources. as a matter of fact, if you look at wikileaks record, they've never printed a single thing proven untrue in 12 years, not one. whether you i like their work or you don't, that is much better track record than the fake news media mob here in america that has been doingn nothing but lyig and peddling you conspiracy theories for two and half years. that brings up a fascinating legal issue about the freedom of the press in this country. the 1971 landmark pentagon papers case. the u.s. supreme court, 6-3,d

they ruled that media outlets could publish stolen materials. so long as i didn't conspire to steal the information. in an interior with yours truly in 2017, i went to the ecuadorian embassy in london and assange, ask him directly about influence, russia, sources. assange insisted he did not h steal the dnc of podesta emailss and that his source was not a w government entity and i asked him specifically about russia. take a look. >> sean: did russia give you this information or anybody associated with russia? >> our source is not a state party. the answer for our interactions is no. >> sean: you did not get this information about the dnc, john podesta's emails? can you tell the american people 1000% you did not get it from russia or anyone associated with russia? >> we can say, we have said repeatedly, over the last few

months, our source is not the russian government, and it's not the state party. >> sean: manning's case, i said pardon by the sentence was commuted to get things accurate. if it wasn't russia, like assange said, then who was at? where why was assange never questioned by robert mueller or someone from his team? one would assume that assange, he could have been the guy that offered computer forensics that would prove exactly where that information came from. mueller didn't take the time to ask. either way, we have known that russia has been a hostile act or on the world stage four years. devin nunes warned us about their nefarious intentions and election interference that would happen in the 2016 election. he did that and 2014 but nobody seemed to care or pay attention. don't forget this all happened on obama's watch, not donald trump's watch. now we come as a country, have a decision tosi make.

when will our federal government -- this is an important question -- when will we ramp up efforts to stop hackers from accessing our sensitive materials that impact our security in this country? in other words, when is the government going to get serious about cyber security threats that we face every day? this has been going on for decades. at what point does it become not a shame on you, what about shame on us for not fixing a serious significant problem in what is the digital age? our government has not ever built a cybersecurity that makes our national security invulnerable. it's vulnerable. needs to be fixed. it's by clinton's private server was top-secret and classified information on it was and is a national security threat, and by the way, also a felony. here with us now, author of the new book about the mueller report, alan dershowitz, who's done legal work for assange in

the past along with former drum camping associate carter page, fox news contributor sara carter. let me begin with you, carter, because this directly impacted you. the fact, if the grassley-graham mama was true and the bulk of information was hillary clinton's bought and paid for russian dossier, that its own author doesn't stand by, that would mean it would have been impossible to corroborate and verify. that means your means your constitutional rights were violated and they used you to backdoor their way into all things that were donald trump's campaign? election. >> absolutely right. as you've beenn saying for the last couple of years, and the sad part about it is, in the dnc contacts, you mentioned mr. zonta, i was one week afteru had your interview on january 3rd, 2017, is when he released the dnc's dodgy dossie dossier. then whathe they accused me of being responsible for wikileaks.

in conjunction with paul manafort, who i also had never met or spoken with in my entire life. just shows how ridiculous. >> sean: let me go to you, professor dershowitz. i know the pentagon papers, that case in and out, and "the new york times," they did not steal the information, did not conspire to steal the information. assange saiddi he didn't, that these were sources given to him. with that applying this particular caseou in your view? >> yes, i just wrote a column called "this is the next pentagon papers case." i was involved as a lawyer in the pentagon papers case, i represented the senator who read the pentagon papers into the congressional record. if they indicted him for merely publishing classified material, this would be the pentagon papers case modern version.s but they were very clever, and they indicted him on a very factually questionable bases for encouraging manning to try to get information for asking

manning for the first part of a password into a computer -- factually, it's a very weak indictment. it doesn't indict him for publishing classified material. one of the reasons for that is, great britain probably wouldn't extradite somebody who is charged merely with publishing information, but if the allegation is conspiracy to try to essentially hack a government computer by getting into the password, thent that might pass the level for extradition. but this is going to take a long time. he's going to fight it. one question is, where does he stay while he's fighting it ask mike if in prison all that time, he might come to united states and try to stand trial. >> sean: he stayed in the 300 square-foot studio, i mean, no extravagant living. obviously, he believes deeply in what he was doing. >> no question about that. he's a believer.

>> sean: you know something, and sara, this gets to the plan, 99.9% of the media push nothing but tinfoil hat conspiracy lies, you, john, joseph digenova, gregg jarrett, i'm not going to name everybody. we had it right. look at what is coming. the criminal referrals, devin nunes joins is next, the barr investigation he announced, the horwitz reports, the john huber report, more closed-door applications, speak in applications, gang of eight, 302s, now the ukraine wants to give us the evidence. they colluded on hillary's behalf. we got a long way tobe go and s. >> we certainly do, sean. one of the important things, and i'm just going to go back to julian's case for one second, the fact that the united states government didn't charge him with conspiring with russia, that c he didn't charge him with being a russian agent, which i thought was a very interesting.

they went back to chelsea manning, and alan dershowitz said, they've got on this very thin -- they're walking onte a thin line, saying he conspired with chelsea manning to retrieve a password. so this is going to be a really fascinating case. as far as what is happening now, with the investigation and what devin nunes is doing to hold people accountable, we are looking at conspiracy, obstruction, global leaking, remember all the relationships these people had with journalists. >> sean: do you want on that to happen now, carter? this impacted your life. >> i want the truth out there. the quicker we can get, that's most important thing. get rid of this big obstacle that's been in -- caused so much damage our country into this administration. >> several libertarians, conservatives can get together, we all have to stand up against the fisa gorge being able to do what they did on the basis of the kind of information i had.

every american should care. >> sean: they committed a fraud on the court! that is a felony! you couldn't get them off! i got a roll. thank you, all. when we come back, yes, devin nunes, former house intel committee chair joins us, criminal referrals that he made it, an announcement about earlier today, also, michael avenatti accused of stealing millions and millions from thclients. the city of chicago sous jussie smollett. a busy news night. all, obama's general counsel, yeah, was indicted. straight ahead. ♪ ♪

>> sean: bre >> sean: breaking just tonight, ranking member of the house intelligence committee congressman devin nunes of california has notified the

attorney general he is submitting eight criminal referrals alleging serious misconduct in the trump-russia probe he joins us now. congressman, what can you tell us about this? you say in your letter, which i have in front of me, that it is serious. when will we know who and what for? >> we don't know if you'll ever know who but i can tellel you tt if you follow the russia gate, russia hooks closely, if i gave you seven guesses, you'd probably be able to get the five people that we have referred. so there's five direct referrals based on flying, obstruction, congressional investigation, and leaking. we have a global leaks referral, which involves a few reporters but could involve multiple people. i don't think it is that many tpeople because i think they probably only have a few sources within these agencies. then you have conspiracy

referrals based on the manipulation of intelligence. the second one is based on fisa abuse and other matters. that is where we stand, those of the eight referrals at this point. we are prepared to brief the attorney general.wa i'm looking forward to taking it up with the u.s. attorney that is now in congress, john ratcliffe, he serves on the intelligence committee and on the house intelligence and judiciary committee, so he's going to go with me to brief the attorney general when appropriate. >> sean: let me ask you, we do know from the nunes and the grassley graham memos, fisa, the bulk of the pfizer applications, pages ten to 12, 17 to 34, that's important. but the bulk of that information came from hillary clinton's bought and paid for unverified, uncorroborated, not even supported by its author russian dossier. that is a fraud before the court, is it not, sir? conspiracy even?

>> sean, let me make this clear as i possibly can. now that we have an attorney generaln who calls spying for what it is. in late 2015, early 2016, spying began on the trump campaign. that information leaked that led to what they considered to be legal spying that began, the knowledge they started doing at the end of july, you had carter page on, they consider that all legal spying.he they learn that information, sir, shortly after the election. why?ve to create a narrative that donald trump shouldn't have been president, he is a russian asset, et cetera. so spying and leaking. then you have the combination of the ultimate spying where you have the fbi director spying on the president, taking notes, illegally leaking most notes, classified information,le why? so they could appoint a special

counsel to spy on an acting president again. there is a lot of spying and leaking and i think that is as clear as i can put it. >> sean: i want to push any further. i understand -- i would ask you often, you had more information than i, i would say, is there anything that i said tonight that's wrong? and you would say no. then i'd ask you the same question -- are my over the target, because i want to be right and i have a lot of sources, putting pieces of a puzzle together. sometimes people cannot give me information. i want to ask you specifically about the hillary clinton investigation. thanks to congressman doug collins, we have the closed-door trust we will other people, bruce ohr, peter strzok and lisa page, now james baker, the general counsel who said the following, describedsc clinton's behavior as it relates to the server where she had top secret classified information on it as alarming and appalling and

argued that he thought that she should be charged, and page and peter strzok said, both of them, they had no control over that investigation at all, although peter strzok himself that the tinterview, allowed two other people in the interview, which is unheard of, and was writing her exoneration in may before interviewing her in july. exonerating her three days later. comey did that part. do you believe that that investigation into hillary was a rigged investigation and showed it to a new? >> i don't know that because we didn't look at all that information. know howy that i don't destroying a server that should have been there in the first place was not obstruction justice. another important what you talked about -- >> sean: with classified information! >> we are waiting on transcripts. i want to remind the viewers, we still have transcripts from ourw

investigation letter sitting at the dni that still have not been declassified. those need to come out also that will give a lot more transparency to everything else that is going along with the transcripts you are seeing now. the last interview i had with the president, he said he would be releasing this. patent applications, the gang of eight, 302 material. when americans see that, will they be shocked? if so, on aa scale of 1 to 10, how shall? >> what i have said, and i'll say it again, if you thought using d dirt from a campaign is bad, you'll think this is equally as bad. if you didn't pick it was bad, then you won't care. if it would've happened to the other side, they would have cared. >> sean: grade point. congressman, thank you so much for being with us. we have followed this closely. we are going to hold them all accountable. we may do that promise. when we come back, you will not believe all the people defending congresswoman omar's outrageous comments about 9/11. wait until we show you

93, heroic men and women who drove a plane into the ground enrather than to be used as another weapon. we had people in the pentagon, wiped out in the pentagon, something did happen that day, and her words mean something, and representativeod omar needso apologize. this was really a grotesque way to frame this horrible event. >> sean: monica, on the heels of her beer anti-semitism, and the democratic parties and ability to adjust call her out and identify her, the broad sweeping generalization but never mention her name and never talk about what she said or did, it waters that cowardice it? to me, it means nancy pelosi is scared to death if not only these three congresswoman, but the hundred that supports the insanity of the new green deal for example.

>> sadly, it is left to "the new york post" and people like the three of us and programs like this to call out to mess and condemn anti-semitism because her own side now will not do it. last time she came out with anti-semitic diatribes, her own party was unable to summon the moral and political courage to do a straightforward resolution condemning anti-semitism. this should come as no surprise to anyone. it's not like she just came out with these kinds of comments. in 2012, she tweeted, israel has desensitized the i world. she is a long record of anti-semitism, anti-israel beliefs, and no oneem now on the left is willing to call her out. why? they now share those beliefs. their refusal to call her out and condemn anti-semitism straight upws shows how deeply

entrenched her days in the left and a sadly in the mainstream democratic party. >> sean: thank you both. let's see what they do. this party has gone so hard extreme. theye. won't even take on a beer relented anti-semite. that is sad for the antidemocratic. look at comments about prime minister netanyahu, thank goodness he won. prieto, robert francis bozo. this is a big story. michael avenatti is in seriousus legal trouble, accused of stealing millions from clients. will remind you how the mainstream media fawned all over her stormy daniels lawyer. wonder if they're going to have him back anytime soon? wonder if clapper and johnnn brennan mostly on the the job? straight ahead.
