fallen heroes at arlington, absolutely essential. >> tucker: amen, tom cotton, thank you for that. we'll be back tomorrow. they show that is a sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, d groupthink. but for now, sean hannity awaits her new york city. >> sean: tucker, big breaking news as we begin tonight. this is a fox news alert. breaking just moments ago, as first reported by "the new york times," "the hill"'s john solomon, and now fox news have all confirmed that the attorney general barr just determined the attorney general in connecticut to investigate the origins of the witch hunt into the trump campaign. huge news. equal application of our laws. it is what we have been telling you is a big part of what is coming. if you are counting, this is now the third investigation into the deep state taking place in fisa fisa barr's doj. you can answer to that lindsey graham.

four investigations. keep in mind, john huber is investigating the leaks in utah. the inspector general horwitz is investigating fisa abuse and without a doubt, operation cross fire hurricane is, as we've been calling it, operation boomerang. several days ago during a series of important questions from senator lindsey graham, to remind you, he asked the attorney general about the mueller report, about what he viewed as important. we told you last week, act two, the court and is about to go up. tonight, the court and is a look. >> do you share my concerns about the fisa warrant process? >> yes. >> do you share my concerns about the counterintelligence investigation and how it was opened and why it was open? >> yes. >> do you share my concerns that the professional -- lack of professionalism in the clinton email investigation is something we should all look at? >> yes. >> do you expect to change your mind about the bottom-line conclusions of the mueller

report? >> no. >> do you think the president campaigned in 2016 was thoroughly looked at in terms of whether or not they colluded with the russians? >> yes. >> and the answer is no according to bob mueller. >> that's right. >> he couldn't decide about obstruction. you did it. is that correct? >> that's right. >> do you feel good about your decision? >> absolutely. >> sean: by the attorney general barr searches for truth and justice and is fulfilling what he said he would do, tonight, hysteria spreading in any corner of the democratic party as we inched closer to to the 2020 presidenl presidential election. the noise on the left, it is getting louder and louder and louder, but make no mistake, it is only noise, nothing more, it is not based in any facts, any truth, any reality. we now have had over the course of two years, count them, four separate investigations that have cleared president trump, the trump campaign, of any type of collusion or obstruction,

democrats, it's only noise. they can plot their own lies in conspiracy theories go. while the left continues to push their hoax, we have been uncovering what is the biggest abuse of power scandal in american history, only we have evidence. in the end, facts speak louder than hysteria and tonight, the facts are casting a damning shadow on the disgraced fired fbi former director james comey, who is being called out by rod rosenstein and in a major way tonight. look at this. >> i do not blame the former director for being angry. i would become too, if i were in his shoes. but now the former director seems to be acting as a partisan pendant, selling books and earning speaking fees while speculating about the strength of my character and the fate of my immortal soul. i kid you not. that is disappointing. >> sean: rosenstein unloading,

saying he broke, meaning comey, lines that should have never been crossed. he's right to slam the former disgraced fbi director. comey abused his power. the evidence against them is mounting and here is what we now know. october 21st, 2016, james comey signed off on the first of what would become four's patent applications, requests against trump campaign associate carter page denying him i can't tell my constitutional rights and more , offering a backdoor into all things the trump campaign. hillary clinton's bought and paid for dossier, according to the new naz memo and the grass again gam memos, the bulk of information was the predicate for those fisa applications. they were unverified, they were paid for by hillary, they were put together by someone who hates donald trump. somebody who, in an interrogatory in great britain act, actually says he has no idea of any if it is true. 50/50.

just raw intelligence. that was the basis for a warrant. not one but four? comey signed the first one. on top of the warrant, verified. this fisa court was not informed that clifton paid for those, well, even with "the new york times" is suggesting, russian disinformation. instead james comey swore that the information that he provided to the fisa court in that application was true and it was correct. the application itself marked verified at the very top but the dossier was never verified, frankly, unverifiable because michael steele himself doesn't stand by it. during an interrogatory, we told you about in great britain, that is when we learned that truth. i don't know if anybody is true -- she was under the threat of perjury at that moment. we would expect that he didn't want to tell the truth on that. christopher steele hated then candidate trump. he was willing to do anything to take him down. doj official bruce ohr was one of many that we now know that warned the fbi, warrant the department of justice about

steele's hyperpartisan conduct and steele's ties to the trump campaign. well before the october fisa request. there bruce ohr warning came in august of 2016 before the october 2016 fisa application. last week, we learned also, a high-ranking state department official, her name kathleen kavalec, she also issued a direct warning about steele ten days before the fisa request. she passed on the red flags about steele's election rigging efforts, the validity of his work, and she sent it to the fbi and the department of justice. they still went forward and you said information anyway. now senator lindsey graham, he is working to do is classify a government document that he is saying will prove the fbi absolutely, positively knew that steele's work was full of garbage and that hillary paid for it, a lie of omission in the case of the fisa court abuse.

they literally conspired to commit fraud on a fisa court. they hated donald trump that much. we now senator chuck grassley and ron johnson, they issued a separate document requests from the state department and the fbi in order to determine what comey knew about steele when he signed off on the warrant to spy on an american and an opposition party candidate. it's not looking good for mr. super patriot jim comey. fisa abuse is just one part of what is lawless behavior and abuse of power. congressman radcliffe, he is now calling for an investigation into james comey tonight. take a look. >> jim is proud of himself but the inspector general found him insubordinate and many of us believe that he either is or should be under investigation for violating the espionage act, for recording his conversation with president trump in the oval office and intentionally leaking classified information to start is investigation.

as you know, as a former federal prosecutor, i've worked with hundreds of fbi agents and over the last two years, they haven't used the word "proud" wants to describe jim comey. they use words like "embarrassed" and "ashamed." >> sean: we are not talking about the single premier law enforcement agency in the world -- single best intelligence agency in the world. not the 99.9%, but the upper echelon. they are the ones that abuse their power. the jim comeys of the world, self-righteous super patriot, he can do no wrong. he's in serious trouble tonight. we've warned him many times, he is the right to remain silent, he is not listening to me. does it matter how many dramatic beds he writes for "the new york times" or how many long infomercials he does with anderson cooper over at big news at cnn. he'll never escape simple truth and fact. he was a terrible fbi director. he abused his power. it's a good thing the president fired him. we now know he was involved in rigging the investigation into

hillary clinton. he engaged in a witch hunt against president trump. he anointed a partisan corrupt group of bureaucrats to his enters her goal, almost all of which got fired, resigned, disgraced, or . he willfully misled and committed a fraud, it seems tonight, on a fisa court to spy on the trump campaign. we know he leaked a sensitive government documents against the law, because he was mad that he got fired and leaked it to "the new york times" for the purpose of getting a special counsel appointed. and now he is in serious legal jeopardy. james comey, tick, tock. with the help of sara carter, john solomon, so many others on this program, we've always worked to halt unelected powerful government officials accountable. the left is more interested in scoring cheap political points, dividing the country, and pushing conspiracy theories with no evidence. in the democratic-controlled house of representatives, they

got people like the cowardly adam schiff and nadler and company trying to weaponize their committees. why? to harass and order and prolong a series of endless which runs into the trump administration. senator graham has documented their unprecedented behavior. take a look. >> they just want an outcome. it doesn't matter how you create trump, doesn't matter if you trick the fisa court, doesn't matter if you infiltrate the campaign. the goal is to stop trump and the rules don't matter. this is a very dangerous time in american history where the media and the democratic party want an outcome. against trump no matter what the rules are. >> sean: doesn't matter, they want to destroy this president. they didn't want him elected, they had the favored candidate, they raked her investigation. the evidence is overwhelming, it is incontrovertible. she had top secret classified information and are not a mom-and-pop bathroom closet. yes, that's illegal.

she tried to cover off the evidence by destroying it. that is why she deleted her subpoenaed emails, acid washed or hard drive, busted up or hard drives of hammers and removed some cards. that was the intent, to destroy evidence. the underlying crime, espionage act. the attorney general tonight provided top democrats access to all but two full and seven partial lines of the mueller report. they are too lazy to go look at it. this was grand jury information. nadler's committee, holding him in contempt, demanding that he be handcuffed by the sergeant-at-arms and proper for the committee because he's obeying the laws of the land. then he redacted in accordance with federal law -- that's right, you cannot reveal grand jury material. that is the law of the land. at least one person understands it. that would be the attorney general. because barr refused to break the law and reveal grand jury information, congress may nadler is holding him in contempt. they are talking about putting a

pan handcuffed, calling the attorney general's actions "a direct result ultimate constitutional order." many other democrats, friends my medium outcome of the heir to the clearing we are in the middle of a constitutional crisis. we've been there for the longest time because of those people that abused power. because they've been pushing conspiracy theories and lives. then you have the intel chairman, yes, the cowardly adam schiff. downright apoplectic, losing his mind because the only person caught on tape colluding with the russians is him, as he got fixed up in a hoax. oh, "do you have any evidence on donald trump? yeah, we have evidence on donald trump. what is the evidence of on trump? naked pictures. hasn't vladimir seen ed? vladimir had seen it." he still eager to protect eric

holder. he wants to invoke a negative privilege. something that donald trump never did. they handed over 1.5 million documents and he answered mueller's questions, and still no collusion. for the fourth time, we got that conclusion. anyway, take a look at the cowardly schiff. >> they turned over almost the entire mueller report on redacted, the attorney general william barr has testified before the senate judiciary committee. they are saying they are prevented by a law from giving over this grand jury information. so what's the difference here? >> they are categorical differences. first the obama administration made dozens of witnesses available to the congress, provided numerous thousands of documents, as you just heard, to the republicans in congress. and yes, it makes specific claims of privilege but here, the trump administration has decided to say a blanket no, no to any kind of oversight whatsoever, no witnesses, no documents, no nothing. >> sean: no witnesses, and all

documents, no nothing. yet again, the cowardly schiff is lying. he's a liar! mr. schiff, come on this show, you and me. i have a dossier on you, is call your own words. your radio show, three full hours. you can break nadler with you just for kicks. the mueller report has been released, the ag testified before congress and adam schiff is lying again! he's losing it at this point. this kind of far-fetched hysteria from the left is not going unchecked. as per usual, president trump rightly now is fighting back after four exonerations, calling the democrats for a constitutional narratives pathetically untrue. that is true. the president is also calling out the current fbi director christopher wray, accusing him of protecting the same gang who tried to overthrow the duly elected president of the united states. you know, we smelly walmart people, your irredeemable

deplorables who cling to god, g, bible, religion. i don't see director christopher wray doing anything to clear up the upper echelon of the fbi. that is his job, for the 99% of fbi special agents that put their lives at risk for us every single day, you owe it to them to get this department, this premier law enforcement agency right with the american people. what has he done to hold the comey accountable? nothing. what about mccabe, baker, peter strzok, lisa page? mr. christopher wray, time to do your job. the former highest ranking employee, but he had no signs, wray will not bring them to justice. working to prevent this abuse of power hyperpartisan conduct from ever, ever happening again. in the coming months, just as will be served. we have promised you that. with or without, well, director wray help. part two of my monologue in just a moment.

first we are joined by trey gowdy. congressman, let's get your reaction, now that we know that the attorney general has, in fact, i signed this u.s. attorney in connecticut to review the origins of the russian inquiry. that and what other questions would you like answered? >> this is the fourth person that has been charged with investigating the origins of the russia probe. i am more interested in how quickly they do it at how effectively they do it more than the number. if this is the right person to do it, more power to them. there is an easy road map to follow, sean. we know the origins of the russia probe, what russia did to us. i want to know the origins of when the barrel began to intermingle the trump campaign with the russia probe. you just quoted lindsey graham as saying they want to stop trump. all lindsay was doing was quoting peter strzok. that is what peter strzok said in a text. we'll stop it. what are the origins? then i want to know, how did the fbi ss christopher steele?

they have their own internal documents. part of what lindsey wants to make bulk of the internal fbi documents where they do their own assessment. i think you'll be surprised as whether or not they saw steele -- >> sean: this is the gang of eight information i am told, my sources? >> i saw it before i left. johnny radcliffe has seen it. i know exactly what johnny and lindsey are talking about. they are talking about internal fbi documents where they do their own assessment of whether or not christopher steele was reliable. three 302s trying to make sure t donald trump lost. that was an fbi informant before they got rid of him for breaking fbi rules. >> sean: trey gowdy, you are a great prosecutor. let me ask you a series of questions. are you convinced that fbi agents, as well as the attorney general at the time, loretta lynch, that they rigged hillary's investigation?

>> i am convinced that they handle that investigation in a way unlike any investigation i have ever seen handled before, and the fact that you still have to ask that question, sean, after, what, a 12 month investigation by the world's premier law enforcement agency, the meeting on the tarmac, the fact that comey had to threaten the special counsel, you mentioned that comey leaked memos because he wanted a special counsel appointed for trump -- >> sean: let me be more specific -- >> what did he do when he had questions about loretta lynch? did he leak anything then? >> sean: nope. it's clear, if you have top secret classified information in a private server, is that not a violation of the espionage act? a clear one? >> if you handle it negligently, yes. >> sean: okay, we know it was handled negligently. what if he, for example, would there be attention if you deleted 33,000 subpoenaed

emails, acid wash your hard can be a fussed up the your device, would that be a good case obstruction of justice? clear and convincing case with battery shadow of a doubt? >> it is clear evidence which comey said he didn't have frayed consciousness of wrongdoing, knowledge, inattention in addie multiple false statements. >> sean: are you convinced that there was a fraud committed against the fisa court withholding that hillary paid for that dossier and that, in fact, the bulk of evidence was unverifiable and they never verified whether an easy thing steele wrote is true and did they do it to spy on the trump campaign? >> i can tell you, it is even worse than what you described. it is what you described, in addition to the withholding of exculpatory evidence, which is

what johnny at johnny radcliffo exercised. they made no effort to -- it's not that they failed, they made no effort. whoever is investigating this, tell them to look for emails between john brennan and comey in december of 2016. >> sean: are you convinced of that phony russian dossier bought by hillary clinton created by steele, lied to you with the fisa court, are you convinced they try to undo a duly elected president of the united states and take him down? >> i'm just going based on what peter strzok says. the lead agent in charge of investigating this, he said he thought trump would be destabilizing, had an insurance policy, then promised his lover that we will stop it. so you answer it. >> sean: well said. you never lost a case, did you? thank you, sir. joining us with more reaction, fox news contributor karl rove. your reaction to his comments on the breaking news?

>> first of all, john durham, the connecticut prosecutor, as a career guy. he's been at the u.s. attorney's office since the late 1970s, he is a tough guy. he took on the fbi who were protecting "whitey" bulger. he went after and convicted and sent to jail the governor of connecticut, a republican named john rowland. he is a straight arrow, and i think this is a great move by attorney general barr. hard to criticize a guy who is a political and has served in ine hope again administrations. you have durum in connecticut looking at some aspects -- we don't know exactly what -- but i'm confident that he has a particular focus that he wants them to take. you have horwitz, who has independent authority to investigate all of what happened in the steele dossier and the investigation into 2016 and then you have huber who is also looking at specific elements of the russia investigation, all three of them share something in common. they are tough, they are

independent, and they are career people who are not going to bend. they will do exactly what they think is right. i think this is a great move. >> sean: karl rove, i've been on this for two plus years. i'm convinced they did rigged hillary's investigation. she did violate the espionage act, had the intention of destroying the evidence as per bleach bat and devices and a sim cards. i believe that the fisa court was systematically lied to on four separate occasions using her phony dossier that was never verified and i believe the insurance policy was to undo an election. you think i am off? >> welcome i think there's a lot of truth in what you just said. i want to focus on two things in particular. one is the fisa court. the fisa court, if -- and i think you are right, that the prosecutors, the fbi was not forthcoming with the fisa court as to the source of the steele dossier that was being paid for by hillary clinton and the dnc and they had suspicions about

them come particularly on the initial applications of the fisa court. i think this is going to turn out to stink and some of the people are going to be most irritated are the fisa judges themselves. let me say one other thing, rosenstein today with his comments about comey, absolutely on target. one of the things that amazes me is to this day, she says this was approved, she has never said what lawyer at the state department looked at this and approved of this private email server. no one has ever been able to come forward and say that. i would love it if somebody would get that information. >> sean: karl rove, thank you. when we come back, senator ted cruz, also a lawyer, react to this breaking news as we continue. we promise we held them accountable. this is part one, act two, the curtain is up. ♪ ry you may have always imagined your dream car as something fast. then one day you decide it just needs to be safe enough to get her to college and back. principal. we can help you plan for that.

discuss the scandal it keeps growing, tonight's breaking news onal the attorney general bar of siding federal prosecutor to look into the origins of the russia probe, texas senator ted cruz. first we have omar's comments, senator. now we have multiple tlaib comments and now we have, believe it or not, which shocked me, a mom brought in by nancy pelosi who, in 2017, posted an image of social media supporting the muslim brotherhood. in 2014, actually posted "god willing on this t blessed nights the third and he thought it begins, the beginning of the end of zionism is here. may a la help us overcome this monster, protect the innocent od accept the murdered as martyrs." okay, that is nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house, that invited this radical. what is going on? >> it is unfortunate a growing

problem. thee democratic party as a whole is galloping to the left. one of the components of that is the extreme left has a long history of anti-semitism, of anti-israel hatred. we are seeing it with this freshman trio, these three wfreshman house members who kep expressing anti-semitic, anti-israel comments, whether it is congresswoman tlaib's comments about the holocaust, which are just -- they are horrifying. or whether it was congresswoman omar's to eat attacking israel saying it's all about the benjamin's. it is repeating anti-semitic attacks. it would be one thing if it is just a couple of different radicals and their party but what we have seen is at least in the house of representatives, the democratic party as a whole, the leadership as a whole is unwilling to distance themselves from this radical, unwilling to distance themselves from these extreme and really harmful sentiments. >> sean: nancy pelosi to

inviting that person is unbelievable. let's go to the breaking news, the attorney general assigning this u.s. attorney from connecticut, mr. durham, a federal former prosecutor, he now will look into the beginnings of allhe of this, the fbi's ties, et cetera, et cetera in this case. also we have the inspector general horwitz, john huber, his report, the attorney general's longer investigation, deeper investigation into both the rigged election of hillary, or rigged investigation of hillary, to fisa abuse, and the abuse of power that happened thereafter, never mind the intelligence community surveilling, unmasking american citizens and leaking raw intelligence. >> i think it is a good development of the attorney general has assigned to the attorney to investigate the origins of the obama administration surveilling the trump campaign. it is a very dangerous thing

when law enforcement or the t intelligence community is used as a political weapon, when it's used to target your political adversaries. t as i travel texas, i hear from texans all over the state, how come there is no accountability? how come the obama administration was able to weaponize department of justice department of justice and the intelligence world and the fbi? i'm very glad attorney general bar is demanding some accountability. we need to investigate it, we need to investigate how politicized it was, and in particular, we need to see what were the roles of the political appointees, who signed off on it? was at loretta lynch, john brennan? was that joe biden? was at president obama himself? that kind of accountability, the public deserves answers. >> sean: senator, let me take oryour legal mind for just a second. the national debate champion, i don't think anyone can really -- we watched your debate before. >> uchitel is one of the key to my cool kids in college. >> sean: obviously. i was not a part of the club.

on a serious note, are you convinced the espionage act was violated by hillary? are you convinced the intent of destroying those emails was to cover an upward underlying crime, eliminate the evidence? are you convinced the fisa courts, a fraud was committed by omission, using the fake phony dossier, the russian dossier, and are you convinced there was an effort by deep state operatives to undo a presidential election after they try to rig it? >> there are serious and concerning evidence underlyingsi every one of those issues you laid out. when it comes to hillary clinton and her use of email, the violation of the laws concerning keeping classified documents classified, there appears to be -- even james comey, as politicized as he was, called the gross negligence. there isis also very deliberatey an effort to destroy evidence and an effort to smash bronze with hammers, and using bleach

bit as he mentioned they will want to to the delete head on mr drives. that is a guiltyy conscience. we need to have accountability for each and every person who violated the law, law enforcement should be nonpartisan. it shouldn't be a political weapon used against those who happened to be on the other side. >> sean: i want to be very clear. the weaponizing of our intelligence, the abuse of power, this was not the 99.9% fbi. this 9 was not the 99% of our intel community that protects us every day. senator, good to see you, thank you forte being with us. when we come back, 2020 democrat candidates keep going further and further down the spiral on the left. reince priebus will be here to react. later, seattle's homeless problem is spiraling out of control.le our own investigative reporter lawrence jones has an exclusive report. video you will only see here on "hannity." ♪

♪ >> sean: across the country, liberal cities are in a major crisis, especially true in places like san francisco where we have been to, places in new york we have been to. there are reports of massive homeless tent camps, trash piling up. we recently sent fox news investigative reporter, our friend lawrence jones, to seattle this time to investigate what is going on in that liberal city. take a look of liberal compassion in action. only generous with your money. ♪ >> do you think seattle has a homeless problem? >> yeah, i see it everyday when i walk to work.

>> in the last five years, it's gotten steadily worse with numbers of people actually living on the streets rising at an exponential number. >> would you say there is a homeless problem here? >> yeah, there is a homeless problem. a big-time homeless problem. ♪ >> described to me what you see. >> tents on the sidewalk, debris and litter, like, everywhere. >> i actually see a lot of marijuana spoke, i have found needles in the park. >> i've seen here when needles go down in my backyard, call the police, they never showed up. >> you've seen drug deals in your backyard? >> i've seen him heating it up in a spoon in the backyard. >> with all the tech companies coming to seattle, do you actually think it's a money problem or do you feel like the people that are elected here are focused on other issues? >> i think they don't care. >> i don't think the city is doing a good job. they're putting their efforts in

the wrong places. >> the big companies, amazon, starbucks, microsoft, boeing, even the smaller tech companies, could really do a little bit more community service. >> do you feel safe with all of us going on? >> no. i try not to make eye contact and i walk as fast as i can. >> sean: this is the new normal. >> unfortunately, that's true. >> sean: sad. joining us now with reaction, nationally syndicated salem talk show host, larry elder, former florida attorney general pam bondi. pam, within walking distance to nancy pelosi's home and her office. they have a feces and needle problem and homeless problem. why do they allow this to happen and the most liberal cities? because the government is not paying for this? >> they have to crackdown with law enforcement efforts because not only do these people have helped, a lot of them have dual diagnosis -- her experiences as

prosecutor. not only do some of them have mental issues, they are taking drugs. we see that from the dirty needles on the ground. the city has to come in. what we do in florida, we have homeless shelters for them, plenty of places for people to go. the police have to crackdown because of the dirty needles all over the streets. the kids could strap on them. people could step on them. pelosi is driving in a limo so she's not going to step on them. but it's a dangerous situation. you have to help the people as well as protect the communities. that is just not happening. >> sean: she lives in her cordoned off community a mile away from all this, larry. silicon valley money, she's worth tens and tens of millions of dollars. she can't say, i'll donate a million, you don't need a million, we'll build a facility, put showers and bathrooms and offer counseling and a warm meal? issue waiting for the taxpayers to foot the bill? why wouldn't she do it? where is the real liberal compassion? put your money where your mouth

is, kind of thing. >> that is a really good question, sean. years ago, massachusetts reduced its state income tax but if you felt guilty and wanted to pay the higher tax you could. one of those who didn't pay the higher tax was barney frank. barney frank said he was going to donate the savings to charity because he thought charity could spend the money more responsibly then go the republican government that was at the typewriting massachusetts. that is the solution. government does not do a good job dealing with homelessness. you look at cities like seattle, l.a., the bay area, they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions of dollars and the problems of gotten worse. it's because these people have issues. they have substance abuse problems, alcohol problems or mental problems, and just giving them a house without giving them -- is not going to help them. we ought to send money to nonprofits, that can get a change in behavior and get some of these people self sufficient. got to talk about giving money to nonprofits, not government

individuals, where government money can be spent without government ties and individuals can receive the money provided that they change that a behavior. >> sean: pam, it is tough. someone has mental illness and drug addiction, and they commit crimes, and then you throw them in prison and are you really helping them? >> i'm not for throwing them in prison and i don't think any of us are. larry is right. there are so many faith-based program in my state that do a lot to help homeless people and by the way, if you see a homeless person asking for money, don't give them money. go to mcdonald's, get a pile of gift cards, mcdonalds on every corner, they can go get a full meal at mcdonald's for a few dollars and they can't buy alcohol, drugs with it. our law enforcement in florida and other states, they've got to do it in california, seattle, really got to crack down, not arrest them, give them help, give them facilities, and starbucks was founded there. there are plenty of businesses that can step up to the plate. we need private government partnerships.
