this is a horrible story. i can't believe the news mixed it. >> tucker: dan bongino, so great to see you. happy weekend. >> thanks, see you next week. >> tucker: will be back monday, 8:00 p.m., they show that is a sworn enemy of lying come, verbosity, smugness, and groupthink. >> this is a fox news alert. a boeing 737 skidded off the runway and went right into the st. johns river in jacksonville, florida. all 142 people on board made it off the plane safely. the plane was landing at naval air station, jacksonville, a military airport at the jacksonville naval complex. it landed on the runway and then skidded into the river. here's a picture of that scene. teams are working to contain fuel spelling into the water there. the naval station's public affairs officer confirms that the plane was on route from guantanamo bay cuba. naval station guantanamo bay calls the plane a rotator, which is a charter flight that varies

military personnel, contractors, and family members on and off the military base. the plane was a part of the hearing 142 people. the jacksonville sheriff's office says the plane landed in shallow water. it was not a submerged, and all passengers on board are alive, and accounted for. lenny curry, the mayor of jacksonville, says in a tweet that president trump reached out to him and offered help as that situation develops in florida. meantime, north korea firing several short-range missiles into the sea of japan. this is according to the south korean joint chiefs of staff. they say that missiles were launched for mark green's eastern coast. they flew about 125 miles before landing in the water. u.s. and south korean authorities are analyzing the details. this site has actually been used to launch numerous missile tests

in the past. most recently in 2016 with the failed launch of an intermediate range ballistic missile. this is the first time north korea has launched missiles since november of 2017. tensions with north korea, of course, have been high since the last summit between kim jong un and president trump in february. the two leaders failed to come to an agreement with trump pushing for nuclear disarmament but refusing to give into kim jong un's demands to lift sanctions against north korea. both leaders have publicly discussed the possibility of a third summit taking place with president trump saying weeks ago that his personal relationship with kim jong un remains very good. again, this has been a fox news alert. now back to "hannity" already in progress. >> sean: four present following 0.2% can be the last two quarters, the last six months. our first quarter growth, 3.2%, during a government shutdown.

the envy of the world. in the trump economy, everybody wins. american greatness is returning, so with a 2020 election right around the corner, what is the democratic message? fear, division, the world ending in ten years, normal oil, gas, cows, planes, or combustion engines. in 2020, this will be a huge dry selection. are we better off than we were four years ago? biden going to defend the economic record of eight years and him and obama? also, we got to get to the bottom of what was the single biggest abuse of power scandal in this country's history. for years, this country's most sensitive and powerful intelligence tools were turned against its own citizens by a few, not the majority. the trump campaign, the trump transition team, we know now, it is now beyond all doubt, incontrovertible evidence, they were spied on by the obama administration, not once, but over and over again.

american rights were trampled by the constitution shredded. lives were ruined. a partisan special counsel witch hunt divided this country for almost two years. in the end, thankfully, truth prevailed. they lost. no collusion. the left long gone folks, conspiracy theories, whether they can admit it or not, the attorney general confirmed this week, they are over. but the stage two, the second act begins officially, as he said this week, everything we've been talking about for two years, the attorney general will begin investigating it already has. watch those. >> there has been no president in history that has given what i've given in terms of looking at just the total witch hunt. i call it the russian hoax. it turned out to be.

no collusion, no obstruction, it was a total hoax. yet i was transparent. we gave 1.4 million documents. we gave hundreds of people. the lawyer,terview the white house lawyer, for 30 hours. w think of that. 30 hours. i let him interview other people. i didn't have to let him interview anybody. i didn't have to give any documents. i was totally transparent because i knew i did nothing wrong. it turnedme out i did nothing wrong. >> sean: not wants to this administration invoke executive privilege.e. they could have literally done it every step of the way. they do not. the search for justice is only beginning as confirmed by the attorney general this week, operation crossed by a hurricane, it is now officially the beginning of operation boomerang. while these bad actors at the highest levels of our government were steadfastly accusing the president of misdeeds, they were the ones committing a litany of real crimes, which will be proven. president trump is calling itt o now i scandal bigger than watergate. i would say way bigger. of course, not talking about the rank and file, the 99% of

investigators and the premier law enforcement agency in the world, the fbi, premier intelligence agency, the cia. they are as outraged as we are. instead, we are talking about a few select power-hungry, self-aggrandizing, those that view themselves as super patriots that think we don't know better. those that literally break an investigation into hillary, tried to rig an election. then a set of the trump campaign with an insurance policy and try to take down a duly elected president of then united states. let's start with a basic and fundamental truth. it is so simple even these will easy, overpaid members of the so-called media, so-called journalists, so-called newsrooms, the 99% of them that got it all wrong and lied to everybody, the trump campaign was expired on friday that evidence is incontrovertible. "the new york times" evenhi admitting something, this program has been covering for years, with a report that no

details how comey's fbi, it's deeper than we thought. they sent an fbi investigator posing as a research assistant meeting with trump aid george papadopoulos in 2016. by the way, the undercover agent, set up the meeting in london between herself, af, 30-year-old blonde, making it known she's available with papadopoulos and stefan halper, who we've talked about at length, who was working as a secret fbi informant. this discussion was opposed tos involve a foreign policy strategies but it soon took a weird, unusual turn. it was all about russia, russia, russia, and trump, trump, trump, and whether the trump campaign was actually working with vladimir putin. that is not all. it gets more bizarre. the undercover agent was apparently trying to flirt and seduce the trump campaign advisor, georgee papadopoulos. he's here tonight to tell us his story in s detail. so will carter page come off by

the way, who was also spied on by stefan halper dan sam clovis as well. the fbi was spying on his phone calls and emails after he was wiretapped, pursuant to a fisa warrant, as we all by nine now, that was first signed by james y based on hillary's bought and paid for russian dirty dossier, that even "the new york times" is suggesting might have been russian disinformation. the same dossier but together with russian lies and google searches by a former spy, british mi6 officer, christopher steele. a document that, according to "the new york times," could have itself been disinformation from crussia. now it's the subject of an. investigation currently being conducted by the attorney general. h remember, he said this week, he's not changing his mind on mueller. it's over, it's done, it's finished. anything you hear from here on in his noise. what he says now is watch the second act is going to be all

about, what we've been telling you. take a look. >> how do we know that the steele dossier is not itself evidence of russian disinformation campaign, knowing what we know now, that basically the allegations made therein were secondhand, hearsay, or unverified? can you state with confidence that the steele dossier was not part of the russian disinformation campaign? >> no, i can't stand that with confidence and that is one of the areas that i am reviewing. i am concerned about it. i don't think it's entirely speculative. >> sean: this is only the tip of the iceberg between the dossier, the phony russian dossier investigation. we have barr's investigation into spying, fisa abuse, fisa court fraud, that investigation. the investigation into leaking, so many other probes and why did they rig to hillary clinton investigation? in other words, we must get to theet bottom of what was the

biggest abuse of power scandal in history. if we do not, we can no longer consider ourselves a constitutional republic. we will then be a banana republic. vice president of the united states is going to do just that. take a look. look at. >> we've got to get to the bottom of how all this started. i mean, the american people have a right to know how this investigation even began. as the attorney general said, testifying before congress, therene was spying. we need to understand why there was. whether there was a sufficient predicate. i think we need to find out. we really need to get to the bottom of how this all began. and if there was a violation of the rules, if the law was broken, the people that were responsible need to be held accountable. >> sean: by the way, get this, has frozen over.be we even have a host, conspiracy tv msnbc, they might be starting to see the light. only one, though. let's not get carried away here.

now actually agreeing with the vice president that spying occurred. remember, there's been nothing but conspiracy theories everyur second, minute, hour, day for two years on this conspiracy tv channel. take a look. >> let me start with the central question on a lot of peoples minds lastst night as the first read it and as a reader this morning. how is it not spying? >> well, i guess it depends on your definition of spying. >> sean: this is significant, serious ramifications for the 2020 election. by the way, not looking good for creepy crazy uncle joe, after all, he was in the meetings with comey and obama and rice about the dirty dossier. at the height of the ministrations of spying. what did he know, when did he know it? let's not forget about biden's incredibly shady dealings with the ukraine. he did use his position as the vice president. he threatened to withhold our money, the taxpayers money, a

billion dollars in u.s. loan guarantees if ukraine's leadersn did not, and six hours, dismiss the country's top prosecutor. the prosecutor, who we now know was investigating corruption ct accusations at a ukrainian energy firm where his son served on the board. make no mistake. joe biden is corrupt. he has many questions to answer. a career politician and by the way, with the worst economic record, worst recovery in 40 years, in eight years of obama-biden, 13 million more americans on food stamps, 8 million more in poverty. compare it to the trump economy right now. all these records being broken. speaking off which, hillary clinton, well, she and her fellow democrats were accusing president trump of colluding with a foreign government during the election. well, we now know they were the ones whohe are actually doing te colluding. look at this report from "the hill"'s john solomon. ukraine's embassy in the u.s. is accusing the dnc of trying to

coordinate with their government to affect the presidential election. dnc contractor allegedly "try to arrange for a ukrainian president to comment on paul manafort's russian ties on the u.s. visit during the 2016 campaign." there is email evidence. as you can see, the left has a lot to be worried about tonight. they were the ones using the most sensitive become powerful tools in our federal government. as a political weapon, turning it on the american people to bludgeon the candidate they didn't like , in favor of the candidate they thought should win 100 million to zero. they had an insurance policy

after. after all, we are just a bunch of smelly walmart voters. what do we know? they knew better. they are the super patriots. they were the ones that were actually colluding with a foreign government, digging up dirt. collusion to help impact on election. they were the ones that have divided this country now for over two years with lie after lie after lie and what is a full on hoax. they are the ones, as former clinton pollster mark penn put it, they are the ones weaponizing our political system against itself. are the ones lashing out, trying to distract from their crimes, and according to a great new op-ed from kimberley strassel in "the wall street journal," the attorney general, barr's getting attacked because his probe endangers very powerful people. she will be with us in a moment. now the actions of hillary clinton, james comey, andrew mccabe, joe biden, bruce and nellie ohr, peter strzok, lisa page, susan rice, and that means clapper and john brennan and even though former president himself, obama, are now coming into focus and we need and we will get answers and sunlight is the disinfectant. the pendulum is now swung by the boomerang in full motion. the mueller issue is dead, over, done, completed.

act two now begins and we better get it right or we lose the country we love forever. here now, the author of "the mueller report: the final report of the special counsel, introduction to donald trump," harvard professor alan dershowitz, along withso "wall street journal"'s kimberley strassel and the author of the number one best seller, "the russia hoax," gregg jarrett. kimberly, i spent a lot of time on your column in the gist of it is why democrats are so desperate to destroy barr. why? he told the truth? he made the right decision? is going to investigate potential crimes? >> it is certainly not because of the mueller report because barr did exactly what they wanted them to you. he handed over a fairly redacted report quickly and one, by the way, that was highly critical of the president. they have nothing to complain about. what you are releasing here are

people expressing their fear because there are a lot of very powerful people that will be affected by this. current and former intelligence officials. seniormost a level in the democratic party. people in the media. the folks who leaked classified information and could go to jail.il they have successfully, for a couple of years, managed to make sure there was no oversight at the department of justice, no outsider taking a look at that. barr has not only come in but he says that he will not back down from saying he's going to finally get some answers out and that that is provoking a reaction. the goal here is to demean him and hurt his integrity, to try to undermine whatever he ultimately puts out. >> sean: he did say, this is now over. professor, your analysis on the obstruction side of this and barr's decision is dead on accurate. we now have four separate investigations, four separate declarations, no collusion.

i know you get uncomfortable, you hate that i ask this, when i bring up, welcome a progressive, you are a great attorney, and if i deleted 33,000 emails that had top-secret classified information on a server where it didn't belong, and then i had somebody acid wash with bleach but the hard drive and had an aid to of devices with hammers and rip out the sim cards, i know you don't like it, and i know that you don't like the politics surrounding a lot of this. you couldn't get me off. that's the problem here. it starts there, then we have a widespread fraud against the fisa court with a dirty dossier. >> i agree. barr is right, though. barr said in front of the senate that we have to stop weaponizing the criminal justice system, which is why from day one, i said what we needed was a

neutral, bipartisan expert commission looking into every aspect of the 2016 election to find out exactly what happened, how did it start, who was involved? no polled punches. no partisanship. they should have been the ones to do a report, like the 9/11 report. that would havepo credibility. you don't have credibility when you have a republican truth on the one hand, democratic truth on the other hand -- >> sean: there is only one truth. >> i understand that. the true, objective, nonpartisan commission could have come to that objective truth. >> sean: professor, that time has come and gone. the reality is, what barr has now said about a potentially rigged investigation into hillary, that is not real. we now -- looks like we have a lot of evidence. >> we should look into it. i have no doubt about that. >> sean: was seen with fisa, the same with the insurance policy and bludgeoning the

president. gregg, i will let you weigh in. >> william barr made it pretty clear, he knows us buying went on. the only question was, was it legal or illegal? were rolled off her ureters at the cia and fbi involved in setting up somebody like george papadopoulos, which is whatsa papadopoulos says. he's invited over to london, he sits down with an undercover informant for the fbi, or cia, by the name of stefan halper. he sticks out his phone as if he is recording the conversation and says, it's great that russia isck helping you and the campai, right, george? george, you and the campaign are involved in hacking, aren't you? it seems, george, you are the metal man for. it does increasingly appear that papadopoulos was a patsy set up by intelligence agencies, maybe the u.s., may be british, and both, as a pretext to investigate and spy on the trump

campaign, to collect evidence of a nonexistent conspiracy to damage trump. >> sean: you know, kimberly, i look at o all three of you, you all have taken the stance of the 1%. the 99% of analysis went to the other way. when you see this boomerang, that the country was told one thing but in reality, it was the people, the other people involved, how did we get everybody to now see, this is really bad? this is now a clear and present danger on a lot of different levels to those greater public we have? >> i think this goes to one of the follies of special counsel' counsel's. a lot of us warned us about this when mueller was put into place, it creates a black hole. we had two years where the press

was allowed to run wild, hand-in-hand with the leaguers who kept giving them information. that narrative got established. the important thing is to get the actual documents, as many as we can out, so people can read things for themselves. >> if they can do it to the president of united states, they can do it to every one of us. every civil libertarian ought to be outraged at what is being uncovered. we must demand that the fisa court to look into whether there was an abuse of their process. we have to look into every aspect of it is to avoid recurrence because it could happen any day to any of us. there could be increased efforts to influence the 2,020 election. get to the bottom of it. stop it from being repeated. >> sean: thank you all. when we come back a much , housl committee member devin nunes sent a letter demanding answers about this professor, and also

♪ >> sean: breaking news. earlier this evening, the house intel committee ranking member devin nunes sent a letter to the nsa, the state department, the cia, the fbi,fb demanding answes about joseph muscat. remember, this is the "professor" the academic that told george papadopoulos, he had dirt on hillary clinton. remember, george papadopoulos will be joining us. joining us to explain his

congressman devin nunes himself. thank you. last minute, we appreciate it. the breaking news. rather than me -- i have the copy of your letter right here but rather than me explaining it, i think it would be best if you did. >> it's great that you remember the story. if you recall, after the mueller report, which i call the mueller dossier, came out, i said we were going to comb through it. one of the first things that we found is they used a news report, a "guardian" news report to claim that the link campus was a place where misfud had worked. what they found to say in it -- failed to say on that same report is that misfud was actually related to italian intelligence services. so you can't -- if you are mueller, you don't get to just report part of what is in the story. you have to put the entire piece

before the american people. he didn't do that. we are calling him out. this is not how investigations are supposed to be run. when you look into misfud close closer, you realize that he is connected with all kinds of intelligence agencies, including our own fbi. in that letter, sean, you'll see, there's pictures of fbi agents at the campus where he teaches at. so we asked the question -- and i will sum it up like this -- we want to know every document that these agencies have related to him because if he is, in fact, a russian agent, this would be one of the biggest intelligence scandals, for not only the united states, but also f our allies like the italians and the brits and others, because of misfud is a russian agent, he would know all kinds of our intelligence agents throughout the globe. we ask those questions.

we want those documents. we are giving them a week. nt>> sean: you said that this professor has all these connections to other western intel and governments and, yeah, the issue about russia, which mueller implied he was a russian agent, but it may be much deeper is how i am seeing this. my question to you is, do you believe, in an effort to illegally spy or get intelligence on the american people, that it's possible that some at the top of our intelligence chain, community, under obama-biden, they may have outsourced things that were illegal for them to do to americans so that they could have our allies do this buying for them? like, let me give you an example. great britain. australia. maybe italy. am i over the target here? >> i think you are. one of the things we point out

in the latter, we are very specific, because the fbi -- i should say, the mueller group, claims that papadopoulos misled them and they were not allowed to get to professors misfud in time in order to interview him. this is the claim they make against papadopoulos when they said with him to press him. what they found us, wait a second, if this really happened, if you backtrack all of us, they are basically making the claim that misfud is the guy that said he had emails or he knew of the information about the emails being in the hands of the russian government. if that is in fact true, they couldn't talk. misfud supposedly until january, february of 2017. well, how did they know to ask papadopoulos author 2016 whether or not he has seen the russian emails or whether he knows about russian emails?

the only way that is possible is that has to come from misfud someway, somehow. so i think it's more likely that i may be a starting center on an nba basketball team before misfud is a russian -- secret russian agent. who misfud is working for, i don't know.us right now, like everything we've had to do, we had to be slow and patient, have to get the information because we have to see what exactly was theel relationship between misfud and our fbi. misfud and our state department. >> sean: and misfud in our intelligence community. wish i had thought of as myself. i'm kind of jealous. the mueller dossier, which is interesting. youu specifically talk about omissions in the special counsel's report. you also talk about -- explain how papadopoulos met misfud. here's the thing. congressman, we are going to papadopoulos and his wife on. the story and the tail that we

now know is true, even "the new york times" i think trying to get ahead of it because they know it coming out, i don't know how long you knew but you didn't tell me and i wish you did -- they were using, you know, a young, pretty, flirtatious moment in this equation, right out of a james bond novel or movie. setting papadopoulos up. along with stefan halper, along with this professor. is there anything i'm saying that is wrong? out he did it go? >> i said this the year ago, and i got mocked and others got mocked. i said, i'm not interested if the trump campaign wasn't spied on. that happened. that is fact. i want to know how many spies, informants, whatever you want to call them, were run into the trump campaign? so "the new york times" story right now says two. that iss up from one. my guess is, it's a lot more than that. if you listen to what attorney general barr said

yesterday, as sophisticated as this operation was, to have a fisa warrant on somebody, there had to be a lot more involvement considering the type of people, the level of people that were involved in this investigation from our own fbi. so my guess is, i am still holding to what i said a year ago. i want to know how many spies were run into the trump campaign and i still don't know but we are going to get the answer and we are going to get it out to the american people. >> sean: i count three instances when you include a isa but thank you for being with us. congressman, please don't stop what you are doing. this is too important to the foundational principles of the country. all right, exclusively when we get back, yeah, right out of a bond movie. set up, pretty young girl, spying, george papadopoulos on american finally getting to the truth and spying on thee trump campaign. straight ahead. ♪ (male announcer) get great deals on great gear

♪ >> sean: as we have been telling you tonight, "the new york times" finally got around to reporting on, yeah, real spying on the trump campaign and we have been telling you, they revealed the fbi sent a female government investigator posing as a foreign policy researcher to meet with george papadopoulos. why? to get dirt on trump's connection, "russia." dirt, we now know never existed. joining us now with more to tell their story, george papadopoulos, author of the book "deep state target: how i got caught in the cross hairs of the plot to bring down president trump." also we are drawn by his wife. two things i'm going to do. i want your reaction to what devin nunes just revealed about the professor, which i have

asked you about before. two, i will read a small passage from your book about the blonde bombshell, if i may come up because you actually said, she wrote to you, let's meet for drinks, look forward to meeting you, you weren't sure if it was a suggestiveen message. they picked the location. she gave the name azra turk. "a vision right out of central casting for a spy flick -- these are your words -- she is sexy bottle blonde in her 30s and she isn't shy about showing her curves as if anyone could miss them. she's a fantasy's fantasy." he went further on the radio today with me, george, you said, she absolutely was being beyond suggestive and flirtatious. s. yes. thanks a lot for having both of us. >> thanks for you. >> we really appreciated. the the first thing about joseph misfud, so joseph misfud is thet

professor then i met in rome initially and then in london, who bob mueller falsely characterize to the world asho some sort of rush and cut out. let me just explain how i even met joseph misfud and where he met him. i was introduced to joseph misfud by a woman who was a director at a company i used to work for in london, who she was directly connected to the fbi, and in my six, and various other intelligence agencies. when i told him that i was leaving and joining the donald trump campaign, they were serious. they said, before you go, you should go to rome, where we want you to meet some people who will help you on the trump campaign. that is why my joseph misfud. i met him at a university, which simona knows a lot about because she is from italy, where the cia and fbieo transact, and it's called a link campus. introduced me? passed me off to joseph misfud? none other than me former italian foreign minister. so why this is very

interesting -- just recently, and simona can clarify this -- in the italian press, joseph misfud's lawyer has gone public and stated that joseph misfud was "forced to introduce george papadopoulos to imaginary russians of some nature and he's also being protected by italian intelligence services in rome after he's been outed, just like week, living next to the u.s. embassy. simona has more to offer. >> this is very interesting because the fbi, the reason why the spotlight was on me was because working with joseph misfud. he misrepresented me having to the russia, made it clear that they had connection to western intelligence. in parliament, the socialist democrats, i remember him campaigning for hillary clinton, donating to the clinton

foundation, and offering me a provision at the link campus at the same time, i decided to move to london and join the lenten center of international law practice. so i am the person with direct knowledge of the circle. i made this information clear to the fbi can much of the congress, and to the senate during my multiple testimonies. but none of these transcripts ever became public, funnily enough. i've been portrayed myself as a russian agent, why not an italian agent? suspicion about connection to this world. i think this was a misrepresentation. today, that the italian finally constituted within the parliament to give justice and restore his involvement in the so-called russia gate. it happens to be a russian

delusion. >> sean: you know what this is sounding like to me? you couldn't even write this story in a novel. now the blonde "bombshell" that set up your husband -- by the way, everyone knows, you guys weren't dating at that point. very important. >> it's okay. >> the only blonde bombshell i fell for is the one sitting next to me. >> i met him at the same time. [laughter] >> besides that, you are right, it's a very serious problem, and when i was flown out to london to meet with stefan halper and this is a student of his, they were probing me for two very disparate reasons. one was my own professional background and my connection to the israelis, which i ended having some sort of charge on me from mueller so i think it's very connected. my meeting with stefan halper and that charge. secondly, they wanted to know about what trump was up there with the russians, which was

nonsense. >> this is important. you were saying, she was being so suggestive with you to get that information. you were set up in a major way and then, you know, it sounds like, i would think, a perjury trap in the end that put you in jail for two weeks. >> that's exactly what happened. this whole thing was a complete set up. there werepp some keystone stuff going on. the u.k. obviously was involved because the operation was in london. i was meeting with british officials the same day that stefan halper and azra turk were spying on me. there was something really insidious going on here with our ally, the u.k., and i'm sure that president trump is going to get to the bottom of it once he goes abroad and meets with theresa may and the queen in june. >> sean: thank you, both. when we come back, and bc so-called commentator, he thinks he's a genius, took a shot at

>> ♪ >> sean: all right. ♪ >> sean: the establishment media, as you know, they've been in a tailspin since the bottom fell out of their russia, russia, russia, collusion conspiracy theory. the awardfe for the most hysterical meltdown of the week, we got to give it to conspiracy tv msnbc commentator john heilman product, who had this to say about little old me after brian williams asked a pretty smart question actually, to react to a click, clip of me. >> sean: everything we report toto the last two years, full, criminal investigations are now

just beginning. imagine that. a talk show host is right and so many in the fake news industry are wrong. >> john, have we gotten it wrong these past two plus years? >> first of all, you bring me in here, and the first thing you serve me up is a big fat steaming plate of hannity. thanks for a that. >> on the house. >> it's been a long day. >> happy to do it. >> there is a phrase people talk about -- that is sean. he's a happy as a pig -- you know. have we all got it wrong? many people would say that the news, not so much the barr performance -- >> sean: i will leave brian alone for now. but john, first of all, look in the mirror. maybe you should be thanking me for informing the public with the truth, as you were pushing lie after lie, conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory.

and you shouldn't be surprised. you can't handle the truth. if it was you, one of the main perpetrators of this hoax and slie and russia collusion conspiracy, you've done it for months. take a little trip down memory lane. >> the degree of leverage, we don't know exactly what it is. >> the degree of leverage that vladimir putin over has donald trump is laid bare. there is no one in the country right now who is not impaired who doesn't see that donald trump is in the bag for vladimir putin. >> what he said yesterday, i've never worked for russia come over and overr again about our two previous presidents embroiled in potential impeachment, bill clinton and richard nixon. >> sean: here with reaction, fox news contributor ari fleischer. former florida attorney general pam bondi. ari, i see the head moving like this. very hard to be introspective, isn't it? very hard to admit you're wrong

on something, isn't it? >> especially when you put the nation through two years of turmoil. if they don't understand the damage they've done to theer american goodwill, two americans working together, they have put us into camps. there is normally polarization in washington. the last two years have broken all the records. i speak as a people like this. i think all of this is aon continuation of the people who never accepted the trump election and immediately went to the resistance, tried to overturn it in the electoral college and they have never stopped. they boycotted his inauguration. all of this is in the same vein. they never expected 2016. doesn't matter what the facts are. they want to trump out of office. they will make a fax to support getting him out of office. >> sean: great minds think alike, ari. i've been oohing very much a similar analogy. the shock of the 2016 election, especially election day, because election day, the exit polls

show. he much donald trump didn't win a single state. ari can relate to this because in 2004, the exit polls showed john kerry was going to be the next president. mr. i voted for the whatever and voted against it was wrong, never became president. wthe shock of mueller seems toe on par with the shock of 2016 as they raise their expectations, the expectations of their audience so high, how could they possibly admit they were so wrong, especially with what we now know is going to be coming, what the attorney general told us this week? >> that's right. you know, sean, they want to get in theey gutter. they have nowhere else to go because you were right and they were wrong. you are a man of integrity who i have known for over 20 years. that is why you are my dear friend, because you are so honest and you fight for what you believe in. they've got nowhere to go so they start name-calling, relay? it's the most ridiculous thing i've heard. they have nowhere to go because

president trump did nothing wrong. robert mueller's report confirms that. bill barr confirmed that. nothing wrong, which is what you have been saying on the switch on for two years. if you hadn't done this, who would have? who would have fought for our country and fought for our president, and the american people believe in it, believe in you. >> sean: i really appreciatee that. what was missing here, ari, and you've dealt with this for all the years. how anyone who is a press secretary, i don't know. you need the patience of job. i don't have it. i could not do that. i could do the job for a day. maybe ten days. that would be the max. you know, there's not even any intellectual curiosity here. if they really cared about obstruction, they would care about what hillary did with subpoenaed emails. if they really cared about russia collusion, they would care about the dossier. they only care about
