tv   The Five  FOX News  April 18, 2019 2:00pm-3:01pm PDT

2:00 pm
funny way of showing it. also two big initial public offerings today that dramatically stunned the street. the market is closed tomorrow for good friday but we are open for business. here comes "the five." ♪ >> jesse: hello, everybody. i'm jesse watters with dan bongino, marie harf, dana perino, and greg. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five" ." president trump claiming victory after the release of the mueller report. >> i'm having a good day too. it's called no collusion, no obstruction. there never was, by the way, and there never will be. and we do have to get to the bottom of these things. i say it in front of my friends. this should never happen to another president again.
2:01 pm
this hoax should never happen to another president again. >> jesse: trump's reaction coming after ag william barr's news conference where he once again cleared the president and confirmed there was no collusion and no obstruction. >> that's the bottom line. the special counsel confirmed that the russian government sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election. but did not find that the trump campaign or other americans colluded in those efforts. >> jesse: now the focus has turned to obstruction. some democrats insisting that president trump broke the law, but ag barr says that's not credible. >> the report recounts episodes involving the president and discusses potential legal theories for connecting those activities to the elements of an obstruction offense. the deputy attorney general and i concluded that the evidence developed by the special counsel is not sufficient to establish
2:02 pm
the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. although the deputy attorney general and i disagreed with some of the special counsel's legal theories and felt that some of the episodes examined did not amount to obstruction as a matter of law. >> jesse: for more on what's mueller report, let's go to ed henry. >> rudy giuliani texted me this was "a knockout blow" for the president when it comes to his critics. after 22 months and $25 million, the story did not really change much today. attorney general william barr made it clear yet again, just as he did in his letter to congress last month, the special counsel found no collusion by any americans with russia, including trump aids. barr declaring while yes, russia tried to interfere in the last election, they did not get help from kendra trump or his aides. democrats claiming they had evidence of collusion, robert mueller never found it.
2:03 pm
despite democrats and pundits repeatedly hinting that donald trump jr. was going to be indicted over the trump tower meeting, the bottom line is it was not criminal. that's part of volume two of the mueller report which is more damaging to the president. special counsel detail ten instances where the president acted in a way that raised questions at least about obstruction of justice. mueller declaring in his report "while this report is not concluded the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." this has shifted from a legal fight to a political fight. to be 24 declaring to reporters it's not game or for his investigating of the president, while giuliani seems delighted about more investigations which he sees as partisan. giuliani just texted me again a few minutes ago saying "the commentariat is reeling." >> jesse: thank you, ed henry. going through the report big
2:04 pm
time. that's how big it is. i have it color-coded and we are going to refer to those color codes later. dan, i wanted to get to you first. i know you've been following the story closely. the way i see it, the president has been falsely accused of being a traitor. miller has concluded the president is not a trader and the democrats, instead of being happy, they are angry about the way the president fought back against the false allegations that he was a traitor. >> dan: they are angry that the president was angry that he was falsely accused. let's be clear. there was never evidence of collusion, ever. this report is a disgrace. whoever wrote this report, mueller, weissmann and his team of democrats framed it in such a way to leave out significant facts. there is no evidence of collusion in there because they couldn't fabricate it. when you go to the papadopoulos section, i'm talking about this alone, on the papadopoulos section, they leave out the fact
2:05 pm
that joseph mifsud had deep connections to western intelligence too. look it up on google. there's pictures with u.k. intelligence people. on the trump tower meeting, they leave out that the russian lawyer who shows up was working for the same company working for hillary clinton. this obstruction thing is a joke. the president is fully vindicated. any rational person reading that knows it. >> jesse: rudy giuliani said earlier that the russian lawyer met with fusion gps, the dossier authors, the day before the trump tower meeting, the day of in the day after. must have been a coincidence. greg, you've been going to report all day i know. >> greg: no. i haven't read it. you know what, i'm never going to read it. i swear i'm never going to read it. this is not news to me. if you were conscious on march 24, you already knew, that was called a spoiler alert when you were told there was no
2:06 pm
collusion and no obstruction. this is the second time around for me and it feels pretty good. it's like around christmas time, they play "die hard." you love "die hard." the ending is great for the ending is always the same. john mclean wins. hans gruber dies. this is the difference between america and the rest of the media. america watches "die hard" and knows the ending and enjoys it. the media watches die-hard and things the ending is going to change, that somehow hans gruber is not going to die and john mclean is going to be arrested. so in three weeks now, they have watched "die hard" twice and they've had their hearts broken. i love this. cnn's ratings are very low right now but the ratings they have i believe are based on comic relief. i think people are going there and watching you just for the hilarity. i want to address the one thing is true -- what's his name, ed henry? where does he work?
2:07 pm
>> marie: he's one of ours. >> greg: nice guy. he ran through the laundry list fallacy, ten instances that raise questions. take each instance on its own, doesn't raise anything. it says there's nothing there. so instead use step back and you say there are ten. if there ten zeros, ten times zero is still zero. it's called a laundry list fallacy that if you don't have a strong argument, you have ten small arguments that you add up and you end up with this obsessive, obsessive fascinatio fascination. going through the report and looking for a little zeros. there's going to be an entire industry devoted to solving big foot and the loch ness monster. >> jesse: that was also your point during the kavanaugh hearings, that you just keep throwing more and more allegations, it builds up into something more different. the hans gruber of the table. >> greg: oh! alan rickman was a great actor.
2:08 pm
>> jesse: he was a great actor. >> marie: on obstruction, mueller makes clear they are not say no obstruction. he says it in plain language. we are unable to reach the judgment of the president did not commit obstruction of justice. >> jesse: he just didn't charge him. >> marie: those are two very different things. he outlines legally what he could not under the existing guidelines charge the president. he outlines a case for obstruction and then in plain text as it's up to the congress to decide if this obstruction of justice which by the way spent part of two articles of impeachment for nixon and clinton, obstruction of justice, that this rises to the level. >> jesse: he said if congress wants to do his own investigation, they are able to -- >> marie: he set up congress may apply the obstruction loss. he says that clearly. >> jesse: he doesn't say this was the product of here you go, congress, take it where i left it. he said if they want to do their own investigation, they can. >> marie: that's not actually
2:09 pm
what he said but -- >> jesse: if you read it closely, that's what he said. >> marie: he sent clearly i'm not saying the president did not commit obstruction of justice. he also does not say there's no collusion. he says there is no conspiracy or coordination that rose to the level of criminal standards. he -- and then he outlines very clearly multiple contacts between trump administration and russians. >> dan: is that illegal? >> marie: my final point, which have higher standards for our president than whether things are illegal. i read this and saw it may not be illegal. i find it abhorrent, unethical, nothing and the other democrat or republican -- >> greg: should have fewer rights than you? >> marie: i don't think any other presidential campaign would ever engage in this kind of behavior and i don't want my president doing it. >> greg: does he have less rights? he released it. i wouldn't have released it. >> dan: meeting with russians is illegal or unethical? >> marie: trying to accept
2:10 pm
help to influence an election. >> jesse: hillary clinton -- let's go, dana. >> marie: i think we need to read the actual reports. >> jesse: what do you think this is? it's all been read. be 45 minutes. >> greg: amazing. speed reader. >> jesse: redacted information from grand jury testimony. >> dana: there was one nugget that i've been curious about and you find out essentially nothing there. go back with me back in time to the 2016 rnc convention and the language of the platform gets changed on ukraine, that we were going to support with arms and then it gets watered down. evelyn was like, how did that happen? i want to know, how did that happen? maybe manafort has a side deal going on but it turns out no, a staffer, not important level staffer that thought they heard the president at some point think that maybe he would rather do it this way and so he gets
2:11 pm
changed. for almost three years, there has been the suspicion out there that there was a change in the rnc platform based on some sort of nefarious thing in regards to russia. >> jesse: i want the name of that staffer. >> marie: it is in the report. up next, william barr heading back hard against claims that he's working for president trum president trump. there was a moment, my son i believe was about four, where he actually asked me "mommy what's wrong with your teeth?" if i would've known that i was gonna be 50 times happier... i would've gone into aspen dental much sooner. it was a very life changing experience... and it felt like i was me again. that's when i realized i hadn't been for three years. at aspen dental we're all about yes. like yes to flexible hours and payment options. yes to free exam and x-rays for new patients without insurance.
2:12 pm
and yes whenever you're ready to get started, we are too. call now at 1-800-aspendental. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, every day can begin with flakes. it's a reminder of your struggles with psoriasis. but what if your psoriasis symptoms didn't follow you around? that's why there's ilumya. with just 2 doses, a majority of people were clear or almost clear. and over time, even more people were clear or almost clear. all with dosing 4 times a year... after 2 initial doses. plus, ilumya was shown to have similar risks of infections compared to placebo. don't use if you are allergic to ilumya or any of its ingredients. before starting treatment, your doctor should check for tuberculosis and infections. after checking there is no need for routine lab monitoring unless your doctor advises it. ilumya may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or have symptoms, or if you plan to or have recently received a vaccine. this could be your chance to leave your psoriasis symptoms behind.
2:13 pm

2:16 pm
>> dan: democrats refusing to accept the results of the mueller report, accusing attorney general bill barr of a cover-up. >> because attorney general barr wants to represent donald trump, i think he should resign. speak of the attorney general is not the president's personal lawyer, although he may feel he is. >> this report is nothing less then a national scandal. and this report is far from the end of the inquiry that this country needs and deserves. it is the beginning of another chapter. >> dan: barr isn't having it. watch him swap down the media. >> what do you say to people on both sides of the aisle who were concerned that you are trying to protect the president. >> the statements about his sincere beliefs are recognized in the report that there was substantial evidence for that. i'm not sure what your basis is first thing that i'm being
2:17 pm
generous to the president. >> reporter: it seems like there's a lot of effort -- acknowledge how -- >> is there another precedent for it. unprecedented is an accurate description. >> dan: that may be the greatest video i think of ever seen on fox. that was wonderful. >> marie: you need to watch more video. >> dan: that's even better than some "animals are great" videos. >> dana: oh! >> jesse: oh! >> dan: adam schiff has claimed on many times that he has evidence of collusion. he has yet to produce it. should we take the democrat seriously anymore or is an ongoing joke with americans? >> jesse: i never to become serious to begin with. donald trump did not obstruct justice. if anything, he obstructed injustice. he was being framed. he fought back. he beat the rap and other democrats don't like the way he beat the rap. if you look at what happened
2:18 pm
today, they cover up myth was totally exposed. there has been no objection. i think page 437, actually 337, it says that the day after donald trump fired james comey, the white house counsel put a document hold throughout the entire staff and told them don't throw away the burn bags. they have to preserve everything. it's in stark contrast to after subpoenas started flying in the hillary clinton case. hillary deleted 33,000 emails, acid washed the server and smashed blackberries with a hammer. what happened here was donald trump gave over 1.4 million documents. everybody testified. he testified in writing. there was never any interference in the election, in the investigation. in fact, mueller said that the investigation was never even interviewed without all. i don't see how you have an instruction case. the whole report was released. certain members of congress get to see everything unredacted.
2:19 pm
what happened to the last attorney general? do you think loretta lynch met the husband of the person she was investigating secretly on the tarmac? or eric holder. eric holder was in contempt because he claimed executive privilege. the white house never claimed executive privilege here. i have an article from politico, 2013. eric holder. "i am still the president swingman." okay? barr if -- if barr said i am ste president swingman, get out of here. it's all done. >> dan: the media switching the narrative again, the fourth or fifth time. they get the story wrong. they said collusion was real and spying was fake and now they say spying was real and collusion was fake. >> dana: they said his summary was not going to match up with the report. i don't think that's true, though that there are arguments democrats might make. i think there's something on the
2:20 pm
democratic side, forget congress for a second. there is a democratic primary underway. there is 20 or so candidates in the race. how could you break out of the pack right now? if you are the candidate that was willing to stand up and say enough, i'm going to beat him on the merits. i'm going to been among health care and the economy and whatever else it might be. and i will do something to protect our elections from russian interference. because that's part of the report we haven't really talked about. i know this is the first day, it's about president trump and dated date or did it not happen? this is confirmation that russia tried to interfere in the election and we have to be cognizant of that going into 2020. i would like to know who it would be, who is brave enough to come out and say no. i think they would break away and be able to maybe succeed. at least in the primary. >> greg: you are right and you're wrong, and i will tell you why. why are they continuing with the mueller hysteria?
2:21 pm
what else do they have? when you think about it, this is probably one of the most prosperous, peaceful arrows in modern times. this could be, marie, one of the most easily proven effective presidency first terms in the history of this country, nay, the world. you could say psychologically it's been hard on people. trump has been hard on a lot of people. there's a lot of disorders going around. i will take low unemployment. i will take economic growth, stronger military, reduction of nuclear fears. i will take all of that and i think what you are saying is this is the only thing you might have. especially if he does address climate change into smart way by talking about jan 4 nuclear power. >> marie: i'm sure that's right around the corner. >> greg: new ideas can come from anywhere. talk about health care, and it's over. >> marie: democrats won the house in 2018 by running on health care and the economy, not russia. if you listen to the candidates,
2:22 pm
to dana's point, they are responding today because it's the news of the day but what they are talking about is about is not russia. it's health care. its jobs. >> greg: so then it's the media pushing the democrats to take this narrative. >> dan: why are they not apologizing for being wrong? >> marie: they are not wrong. if you look at part two of the report which is on obstruction. mueller outlines multiple attempts -- >> dan: they said he colluded. he didn't collude. >> marie: can i finish? he didn't say that in the report. he did not say that there was no collusion. >> dan: did not establish any collusion. >> jesse: coordination, conspiracy caramel or collusion. >> marie: on obstruction, to jesse's point that he started with, mueller outlines multiple instances where donald trump tried to fire the special counsel. >> jesse: he has attempted obstruction of a crime that never happened. >> marie: you don't need to succeed in obstruction or have an underlying crime legally. >> jesse: if that's your argument, the audience can't hear that. it's gobbledygook.
2:23 pm
collusion was a very simple thing to sell. everybody understood that. attempted obstruction of a crime that never happened, you can't sell that. >> marie: i'm not here to sell things. >> jesse: the media is. >> marie: trying to find out of donald trump tried to obstruct this investigation, tried to fire the head of it, tall people to give false statements, tried to tamper with witnesses. >> dan: we will continue this in the next segment. the media melting down over the mueller report, the outrageous reaction next. phones down. we need a solution. introducing... smartdogs. the first dogs trained to train humans. stopping drivers from: liking. selfie-ing. and whatever this is. available to the public... never. smartdogs are not the answer. but geico has a simple tip. turn on "do not disturb while driving" mode.

what is it? >> i don't want it. i don't want it. no! >> greg: pour media. they built a whole imaginary industry around russian collusion, desperately expecting something huge that validated their two-year efforts and emotions, their hearts, careers, pocketbooks rested on trump being a russian spy. >> the u.s. president possibly working for the russians. possibly an unwitting pond, something the fbi was investigating. why are these leaks happening? where are they happening now? what does robert mueller know? >> greg: it was not to be, my little round fella. the fantasy of trump is a ryerson -- as a russian agent was just fantasy. the media would've preferred the president had been a russian stooge even destroyed the country. hence their reaction. >> bill barr has decided his legacy. he is fine with his legacy being
2:29 pm
the ag who took one for the team. >> it was an extraordinary political commercial for the president. >> a black mark on his previously illustrious career. >> is this something we are supposed to see from the attorney general of the united states, not the attorney general of the president of the united states. >> greg: that is the entire cnn staff. when your realities of failure, then the fairy tale becomes reality so it's analogy time. remember in high school you had a friend who got dumped and it was the worst thing ever. he wouldn't change his socks for the rest of the school year. he could let go. but you, friend, knew that you had to get him to move on so you told him dude, move on. live your own life. media, and your pal. it's time to move on. yet, you got dumped and it hurts but cleaning like this makes you look weak and stupid. it prevents growth, relationships, new obsessions and loves and there are other
2:30 pm
stories out there. what's great about trump, a new story is like a bus. you miss one, they'll be another in 10 minutes. cheer up, press. go to the gym. ditched doughnuts. make yourself presentable. right now no one wants to be with you, not like this. you are pitiful, pathetic. dana, watching their reaction tells you what with the outcome have been if it were the opposite? how would they have reacted? >> dana: i was thinking about that. also for us. what would it have been like to be like whoa. >> greg: dana, we would have been fair and balanced. >> jesse: i would've figured out a way to spin it. [laughter] >> greg: we wouldn't have 14 people who agree with each other around a table. >> dana: i think on the media, there is something interesting, some story turned out to be true. for all the stories where they said president trump is wanting to fire mueller this weekend.
2:31 pm
it turns out yeah. >> greg: that's what bosses always do. i want to fire somebody every day. >> dana: the persistent rumor that came up all the time that don jr. expected to be indicted. don jr. telling friends he expect to be indicted. it doesn't look like that could possibly be true. i don't know about that. i am so excited to talk about other issues. >> jesse: i want to stay on this all week. >> greg: jesse, i believe you have an analogy on deck. >> jesse: i do, remember the movie "the fugitive." falsely accused, imprisoned, escaped. he found the real killer. in this case, it's hillary and obama. >> greg: terrible analogy. >> dana: i like that one. >> greg: he compared it to a movie plot. it's not an analogy. >> jesse: the analogy police are kind of harsh over here. here's what i think about the media. mueller was the hero, the hero
2:32 pm
did not deliver. now nadler becomes the hero but nadler isn't smart enough, telegenic enough, trustworthy enough, moderate enough, smart enough, anything, to take the torch from mueller and carry it across the end zone. he doesn't have anybody behind him saying you are the new white knight. at this point, it looks like the obstruction case is too thin for the media to sell in a way, the audience isn't going to love it the way they love collusion because it's too confusing and they don't have anything anymore. they're going to have to move on to something else. >> greg: marie, can they move on? >> marie: i think the mueller report did deliver. i'm not underwhelmed by it. >> jesse: it delivered for trump. >> marie: no, jesse. >> jesse: no collusion, no obstruction. >> marie: that's not what it said. you saying it over and over again doesn't make it true.
2:33 pm
>> jesse: no one charged with collusion or obstruction. >> marie: i want us to read this and we can be disturbed by things and what russia did independent of the trump campaign and things trump has done. we can admit that. we don't have to go to our political corners. we can read it and say if i was on a presidential campaign, i wouldn't have done it that way. i wouldn't have tried to accept help from the russians. it's okay for trump supporters to admit. i'm giving you permission. >> greg: why, thank you. >> dan: here's a new policy, the negative information fallacy. you are conflating negative information. yes, the report is not all flattery all the time. people make mistakes and they are human. because it's negative information, it does not mean the trump team committed a crime. no one was charged with those crimes and i don't know why you can't get past it. there is no evidence of an established connection in this collusion thing. it's a fraud.
2:34 pm
can you just take the loss on this and say i made a big mistake? i'm sorry to america. i should not have -- >> dana: she shouldn't have to do this based on this report. i think you can read it and go wow. i think democrats should say we accept that there is no collusion. they said the president was a traitor. i think that one should be -- i think you can read it as a democrat and read the obstruction piecing go gosh, this is really terrible. >> greg: i read it as an american i'm happy that our president is not a spy. >> dana: on march 24. >> jesse: he beat the pants off hillary. >> dan: there was never evidence of collusion, ever. >> greg: this is too much fun. i think we should make "the five" three hours today. blow out those other shows. >> jesse: which ones? >> greg: i can't remember the names. i'm kidding. i'm joking, bret. they are yelling at me.

the redacted version of the mueller report has been released. we've been talking about it. democrats demanding to see an unredacted version and with calls for mueller to testify, a larger fight over obstruction could be looming. joining us with more is jim trustee. he is a trusty lawyer. former prosecutor. good to have you. going to ask you some questions. explain to me, rudy giuliani was making the point that the burden of proof should not be on the accused to prove themselves innocent. that's a founding principle of our country. >> i have heard of that principle. i think what rudy is doing is pointing out the report is a little different than normal because instead of just saying
2:40 pm
thumbs up, thumbs down, there's enough of a case to go beyond a reasonable doubt, it gets into the weeds in the details about the obstruction part of it. i think it it's getting a lot of dirt out there they might not have in a different model of prosecution. >> dan: having investigated these cases come on the investigative side, it bothers me that this situation is out there. there's negative information about a lot of people but it doesn't constitute evidence of a crime if you don't charge someone. i said if i'm in the vicinity of a bank that is rob, it doesn't mean i robbed the bank. i could've been going to the laundromat. this report puts negative information out there without charging a crime. >> it does. they take some pains to excise and portions of the deal with smaller things. there's a lot of dirt and there's a lot to play with politically if you want to buy taking what you're calling negative information and just using it as their own form of indictment. >> marie: do you think bob mueller should've made a decision on obstruction? it seems like he was leaning one
2:41 pm
way with a tone of what he wrote but he -- it seemed like he felt unable to do that. do you think you should have? >> it's a tough situation because you're going to get criticism the matter what. the one thing that could've made some sense is to do a thumbs-up or thumbs down across the board and uses him standard for the collusion and obstruction and not get into the weeds of the details. they felt it was a public exercise may needed to get information out there to vet it to the public. the chips fall is the -- as they may. you having to defend yourself when you don't have a court. >> jesse: i don't have a question. i have a statement. you can react. when donald trump was answering questions in writing by robert mueller steam from a said i don't remember 36 times. when james comey was answering questions from congressional to get her coinvestigators he said "i don't know" 245 times. seems like a lot. don't you agree? [laughter] >> that would be what we call a
2:42 pm
leading question. the question is whether its convenient memory loss. a lot of people, if you asked me what i have for breakfast yesterday, i would have no clue. sometimes bigger events in your lives are easier to recall. >> jesse: i had a bacon egg and cheese and a coffee with a shot. of espresso. >> dana: before we go to break, can the house of representatives use the mueller report as their evidence base in order to go forward with whatever they're going to do? >> i don't think the report is written in such a way that it looks like a blueprint. it's not affirmatively calling for action but it doesn't mean you can't use the evidence. politicians that want to jump on and start the impeachment process or at least in a embarrassment process can latch onto it and use it as they see fit. >> dana: greg, question for jim trusty. i don't know if i should ask a n predicament or stick to the topic. >> greg: the legal parameters with some gives you something medical that is in your prescription but you take it.
2:43 pm
is that against the law? >> it sounds like you took it. [laughter] and you probably shouldn't have. >> dana: who is in trouble, the person who gave it to him or him for taking it? >> yes. >> greg: in the media block, we saw them criticizing barr and one said "taking one for the team." isn't that kind of what barr is supposed to do? he is supposed to see the president as an american. he doesn't have more rights but he doesn't have fewer rights. isn't it his job to make sure that in this this man is protected so that taking one for the team is an insult if you're actually defending someone who's innocent? >> i love a team america reference, but i do think what's really upsetting on a bigger level here is that serious public servants, barr, mueller, rosenstein, they are getting attacked from every angle. some of it is predictably clinical but it makes you wonder who's going to go into public service in the long run. >> greg: not me.
2:44 pm
>> dana: based on the previous question. >> greg: avenatti, get heat get disbarred? >> they usually wait for the chips to fall. i think he will be president. >> dana: is jussie smollett going to get away with not paying for the fine? >> let me consult the crystal ball. seems like he might. you have to have a pretty compelling reason to double up and revisit the state decision not to prosecute. >> dana: we love having you as our trustee lawyer. thank you for joining us. we finally have the answers from the mueller report but questions remain about fisa abuse and the dossier. we have new details on that nex next. in the country. you see so many people walking around here in their hundreds. so how do you stay financially well for all those extra years? well, you have to start planning as early as possible. we all need to plan, for 18 years or more, of retirement. i don't have a whole lot saved up,

♪ >> marie: everyone is focused on the mueller report, there is a highly anticipated justice department watchdog review on the horizon. doj inspector general michael horowitz has been looking into allegations of fisa abuse. new reporting today that horwitz is likely to focus on dossier author christopher steele. this comes while president trump continues to blast the fbi's russian investigation. >> what's happened is unthinkable, with peter strzok and page and comey and mccabe
2:49 pm
and all these characters and brn and clapper and, you know, you look at what comey did as the director of the fbi. it's a disgrace. it's a disgrace to our country. >> marie: william barr in testimony said he didn't have any evidence that wrongdoing occurred in the investigation but he had questions and horowitz is going to try to answer them. >> jesse: one of the questions is on the fisa application to spy on the trump campaign, the fbi said "we believe russia's efforts to influence the election are being coordinated with carter page and other trump campaign officials. that was false. we know carter page or any other trump campaign officials were not coordinating in any illegal way with the russians. not only did -- was the fbi under obama dead wrong. they used false information to spy on the trump campaign so that needs to be investigated. you brought up joseph mifsud, stefan halper. these were the people pumping
2:50 pm
george papadopoulos to get information. these guys are at the nexus of this entire investigation. why aren't reporters going to talk to them? why aren't reporters flying to dr. chris steele? why aren't reporters at chappaqua right now, waiting for hillary? hillary, do you have a comment about no collusion because the dossier was cooked up and falls question i go to hawaii and asked president barack obama how he thinks about the fact that there was no collusion yet his administration accused donald trump's campaign of colluding. >> marie: i want to see the fisa applications and the mueller report lays out how the investigation started and it wasn't because of the dossier. i want to see the fisa applications because i think some of those conspiracy theories will be disproven. >> dan: if it wasn't because of the dossier and it wasn't because of the papadopoulos story, why was the fbi meeting with christopher steele?
2:51 pm
>> marie: so you don't believe mueller and his accounting of how it started? >> dan: no. do you believe that the fbi met with christopher steele two weeks before? >> marie: i have no idea. >> dan: it's a fact. we know it. what were they doing meeting with the source of the dossier two weeks before the case started? >> marie: i have no idea. i don't know. >> dan: aren't you even curious? >> greg: i am happy about this conversation because i watched today, what's her name, donna -? donna? not dana? screaming about a ten step road map for impeachment. they are already shifting. it's no longer about obstruction or collusion? they are would use whatever there is for impeachment. i am all for going after the dossier. you're going to see is split between the rational and irrational. the rational will continue --
2:52 pm
the irrational are going to continue this line of attack because they have nothing left. >> marie: dana, what should the president do next? >> dana: trust that the inspector general's going to do the investigation. he might want to follow through on the promise that he made that he was going to release the fisa information, redacted in unclassified. i would figure out a way to turn the page dramatically. congress is out of town next week. i think he should have a rose garden speech in which he says all right, i am going to ask the democrats to work with me on three priorities before the august recess. prescription drug prices. there's a deal to be had there. asylum and more resources. those are the only two things we need on the southern border and infrastructure week. i'm not kidding because nancy pelosi said she would do it. they could get three things done before the august recess and it would be good for republicans and democrats for most of all, the american people. >> marie: all right, "one more thing" is up next.
