adam schiff was in "panic mode. they are from the probe of e.healleged russian collusion. but breaking tonight, adam schiff may be even more panicked because i am hearing from two sources familiar with this. as early as tomorrow, you could reveal even more documents shedding light on the russia probe, and how they knew for a long time there was no collusion even though they kept saying they had direct evidence otherwise. two sets of documents. schiff late today releasing transcripts, and they conducted over 50 of them to try to prove there was collusion. the first set of documents embarrassing, because james clapper testified under oath long ago, we never learned of it until tonight. he testified "i never saw anyy direct empirical evidence of the trump campaign or someone in it was plotting and conspiring with the russians to meddle with the election.

he testified as i tried, and mccabe testified that's correct. tonight fox's learning there is a second set of documents that ric grenell who now has a job that clapper had brought to the attorney general william barr today in a satchel. i was tipped off to this by someone outside of the government, and jacobson was able to say -- this after the case against general flynn was dropped. this after the case against general flynn, as you mention, was basically dropped. they have to sign off on that,

but the justice department said the way the fbi handled the case was improper, they were trying to get that case dropped. and just in the last few minutes we were going to another set of documents related to the dismissal of this flynn case. this is very interesting. it talks about how sally yates learned about michael flynn talking to the ambassador. he said after the briefing during the presidential transmission, he asked yates and james comey to stay behind. obama started by saying he had learned of the information and his conversation, he was seeking he did not want any additional information on the matter, but was seeking information about how the white house should treat flynn any differently. he was the incoming national security adviser for president trump. you haveo to wonder how did saly sally yates learn about it from president obama. because it says that she was "so

surprised by the information she was hearing, she was having a hard time processing it and listening to the conversation at the same time." remember she was at the obama justice department at the end. and having a hard time processing this from president obama. youma have to remember that the independent prosecutor out there looking at all of this, james comey's role, sally yates, james clapper, all of these people who were probing russia collusion and what was going on with michael flynn and others, chuck grassley, talk to bret baier tonight, he says he thinks he is hearing in the nexa 2-3 months, that john durham will have some information coming out. criminal prosecutions, there will be a report of any findings. there's a whole lot of information coming out, watch what ric grenell does in the next few days, tucker. >> tucker: that satchel, we s might find out what is in it, ed henry, thanks. watchingng 9:00-12:00 eastern. now back to the latest developments. if you have been paying any attention to the news this

afternoon, you know that there i is a passionate debate underway. right now among political partisans over the justice decision to drop the case against general flynn. they are screaming. but there should not be a debate, because there actually isn't a debate about why the case was dropped. we already know. doj officials explained it in detail. read the filings. it's worth it, they are online. clearly nobody commenting on the casein has read them. and they should. the documents are shocking. not republicans or democrats, but to americans. they outline much of what we knew about the flynn case in previous segments, how a corrupt fbi official peter strzok decide to derail michael flynn using any means necessary could he consider charging flynn under the logan act. a 220-year-old law that in the entire span of history has never been used to convict a single person. no one has even been indicted under the logan act since before the civil war. and by the way, it's probably unconstitutional. you cannot do it if you wanted. but he did not care.

his goal was to keep the investigation going whether he had a legal justification or not. by january 4th 2017, the fbi had completed the investigation of flynn that was thorough. after four months, they found "no derogatory information of any kind inking flynn to russia." fair investigation, the kind that wee have the right to expet would have ended right there, according to the doj, it should have ended right there. the department does not believe that there was a legitimate basis to investigate and prosecute the national security adviser for communicating with a foreign ambassador in advance of the inauguration of the next president. that's the essence of it right there. michael flynn did not commit a crime, and they knew it. how did they know? because the fbi had already tapped michael flynn's phone. which is a shocking outrage completely unacceptable in a free country. if, for some reason, nobody in

washington seems to notice or care about, but they should. because theyut already knew what he had said in the call. in details, there was the department announced "no justification to review flynn to his recollections of what had been said." because they knew. the whole thing was a set up from the first moment. we know this for certain, we are not speculating, because we have peter strzok's text messages to his creepy government girlfriend lisa page, but what if we did not have those text messages. we almost an aunt. the fbi claim had been lost due to some technical glitch.st so we almost did not find out what really happened in this case. uncle flynn almost went to prison. and that gets to the nub of all of this. d the most important question of all. how often does the fbi set people up? how many of their lives have they destroyed without the public knowing about it? this is not about michael flynn, it's about you. it's scary to think about that.i most people in washington seemed

determined not to think about it. they are intent on excusing all of this. ilhan omar among the first to chime in today, white privilege at work she tweeted. she did not explain what in p te world michael flynn's case might have to do with his skin color that he cannot control, but denounced the decision as racist anyway, surprised? you should not be surprised. ilhan omar clearly married her own brother in an immigration scandal who passionately hates the country that saved her and reduces every conceivable issue to the most vicious kind of race baiting. can a single human being actually b.s. loathsome? it's hard to believe, she is a purity of compulsiveness. sometimes you doubt she exist. we cannot confirm that, but we can say that they did not create cable news. the dummies there were almost as angry as ilhan omar was. watch jeb bush's former flak take a break from sucking up to

harvey weinstein like noah oppenheimer to talk about smear campaigns. >> mike flynn's lawyers have been engaged in a smear campaign very similar torn out of the same playbook as the smear campaign donald trump rank, against the same fbi leaders. speak with the idea that the sajustice department could do this, you called it stunning. it's past stunning. this is the collapse of the justice department. this is a political and incredibly destructive thing. >> it's not good for the rule of law. it's not good for morale, and not a fair outcome in this case. >> today, though political corruption, and michael flynn has long been calling for a period of the justice department had nothing to do with it. it's just the white house 100%. >> the fix is in, this is an injustice. t >> so what exactly are these people saying? what argument are they really making? mike flynn was set up by corrupt

law enforcement officials and suggested their goal was to "get into lies so that we can prosecute him or get him fired." that's not speculation, the fbi wrote it down on paper. facing a maximum of five years in prison. are the people you just saw a really arguing that his ouprosecution was legitimate? are they saying that he should serve time behind bars? these are supposed to be "liberals." so what happened to their commitment to civil rights? to fairness? there is nothing liberal about the arguments they are making. this is the most brutal kind of power politics. at this moment represents the full collapse of an aide political justice department. with the legalmatthew miller agt "bill barr is giving flynn treatments that would not be available to any other american." in case you wondered if they were coordinated, because they were, the angriest former labor

secretary wrote "under william barr's stewardship, the justice department has been nothing more than a political tool for trump to wield against his enemy and withdraw against his friends. this is how dictatorships are built." pause to consider this, it is head spinning and its falseness. it is the opposite of what is true. dropping the case against michael flynn means the justice department is now a political tool? no, flipped around 180 degrees here at the attorney general dropped the case because the justice department was already being used as a political tool to remove the national security adviser of the united states. it's not a debate. no honest person could reach any other conclusion. read the documents yourself. but these are not honest people. baselessly denouncing his political opponents as russian agents. including the show. and adam schiff weyden, "flynn pled guilty to lying to the fbi

about his illicit russian context. his lies are not now true the spirited dismissal does not exonerate him." wait, what? is the chairman of the house intelligence committee claiming that a a call between the natiol security adviser and the russian ambassador to the united states is "an illicit russian contact? he is claiming this. this is insanity. and it is calculated, and in the end, ian hate to tell you, and y work. it is entirely possible that your grandchildren will be reading adam schiff's version of history 20 years from now. in the meantime you should consider what it would mean if unscrupulous liars like this were able to take full control of this country. they know michael flynn is not a dangerous criminal. if he was, they will be working to free him from jail. no, they wanted him crushed purely because he happened to be in the way of the power they seek, that's why they are still trying to put roger stone behind bars, because he mocks them to

their faces and that diminish their authority. roger stone may still go to prison, by the way, we will keep you posted. but the question is how many other inconvenient americans with a bankrupt and then in prison if they could? let's hope we never find out. in the meantime, you should avoid the yelping, turn it off. this is a defense against equal justice. the people who demand that we hold american citizens to completely different standards based on how they look, now they are telling you justice must be blind?. it's absurd. it's insulting. the essence of fairness in every country at every time is fairness. fairness. what the federal government did with mike flynn was demonstrably and provably unfair. and anyone who reverses to admit that should not wield power. andy mccarthy is a former assistant, u.s. attorney, author of the book ball of collusion, we are happy to have him with us

tonight. how would you say putting on her prosecute her hat for a moment, trying to assess this objectively, how overwhelming is the case doj made him -- today about the prosecution? >> the case is overwhelming, tucker. it is worth adding to what you said that the most damaging information that has come out so far about the investigators has been from the obama appointed inspector general, and the papers of the justice department filing today are deplete with obama officials telling the fbi that theyni could not conduct things this way. they got it from sally eights, and the acting attorney general. and from clapper, the dni at the time, the national intelligence director, and even from john brennan at cia. so these papers when you read them, this is not you know,

bill barr plucking a bunch of political arguments out. this is a well supported argument with citation to a lot of supporting evidence that shows something we already know. which is that against protocol and under circumstances where they had no case, the fbi set up a perjury trap interview for mike flynn, discouraged him from getting counsel, and notifying the white house authority who should have been alerted if the fbi wanted to interview somebody on the white house staff, and one of the things that bill barr does not get into today is the monkeying they did with the report of the interview of flynn. when you look at all the things that are brought together in the memo coming you come away with exactly what the justice

department said, which is they did not have a case that they could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that flynn was guilty. and have an ethical obligation not to go forward. >> just to be totally clear since you have done this for a living, that's understood against prosecutors, i would assume. that seems like a fair standard. >> not only universally understood, if you don't want to be embarrassed and look like a and court, you don't want to go in with a case that you can't win, and the case now, tucker, against flynn consists of a report that they can't justify, which is the interview summary that has multiple versions that they have made misrepresentations about who did what, and the testimony of two agents, peter strzok and joe p enke, who is the case agent on the trump-russia case and would fe impeachable on the basis of

all the misrepresentation that was made to the fisa court. that's your case going into court. >> tucker: unbelievable, so they just forced him to sign a confession. that's really scary. i really appreciate it, it's good to see you. >> thanks, tucker. >> tucker: hosting justice with judge dean every saturday. thank you so much for coming on. again, i just have to say again. this is not just about michael flynn, it's about every american citizen who might find him or herself in the crosshairs of federal law enforcement. how should we feel about this? if we did not have the text, we should not know, should we trust that there is justice? >> you know, i have to tell you, tucker, i spent 32 years as a prosecutor and as a judge. and i believe in the system. nothing has shaken my confidence more than this particular case. the michael flynn case and the

mueller investigation. what you had here is jim comey, cardinal comey they used to call him behind his back at the fbi, and took advantage of the fact that it was a new administration as you and andy mccarthy have been saying and see fbi agents are in denial of protocol, and telling them they did not need a lawyer, and the whole purpose was to frame him so that they could squeeze him to set up the president of the united states in order to change the course of american history. these are corrupt people, the upper echelon, clearly paired when you talk about text with the fbi that they say they are missing of paige and strzok, where they say the white house wants to know everything that is going on, and then fast forward to the prosecution of michael flynn, where they misplace 70,000 pages that were now being handed over to michael flynn's

new lawyer, guess who is in that law firm where the lawyers representing michael flynn and the case originally work? eric holder. it is a swamp in washington. you have eric holder. you have mueller who supposedly looked at this case. it has to be nonconference at this point, and clearly is an example of what goes on when they hate you, when they focus on you. so why did they hate michael flynn? i will tell you why. he was named the director of national intelligence by obama. and there was a hearing that he testified in front of congress. and obama has just gotten off, i killed bin laden, and now al qaeda is on the run. and the truth is whenun michael flynn that up and testified, he said, al qaeda is not on the back door, and they got training

camps in the middle east now. it was not long after that that he was fired. they also knew that he knew where all the bodies were, and that he was going to streamline the intelligence community. and that's why when donald trump came in, obama knew everything that was going on. because he tried to say to the incoming president trump, you have to be wary of kim jong un, and of three-star general michael flynn. this is deep state, the puzzle is complete, they hated the president, and they used every opportunity they could to take him down. and by the way, the memo as to who they should, who they should investigate, paul manafort, order page, george papadopoulos, carter page must be an agent, but everyone that rod rosenstein put in the memo to mueller, this is so dirty youu want to take a shower after you talk about it. these are bad people.

and the fbi has to go. >> tucker: you think? yes, we will get to that. thank you so much. the obama administration reallyo was poison. and bullied a lot of people into pretending it wasn't. michael flynn is not the only one going free. delivering the final word on the bridge gate scandal in new jersey. do you remember that? we have an update.us but thousands of elderly new yorkers died in the states nursing homes, and something the state's governor did apparently caused a lot of that. andrew cuomo scandal, and it is growing tonight. it's real too. not a fake one. a real scandal. details ahead. ♪

♪ >> tucker: even if you are skeptical of social distancing and masks, even if you believe the mask quarantines we are living under our insane and counterproductive, it should be pretty obvious that you want to keep sick people away from places where there are a lot of elderly people. nursing homes, specifically. in the state of new york, andrew cuomo did the opposite. nursing homes were required under the andrew cuomo administration to admit people infected with coronavirus. now 5,000 or more nursing home residents have died of the virus. 5,000. that's more death than any other state except new jersey. and that's just nursing homes. in new york assemblywoman, congressional candidate joins us to consider what is a growing scandal in new york.

thank you so much for coming on. why would they do this? >> thank you, tucker, for exposing this. it is truly an outrage. on march 24th, governor cuomo said my mother is not expendable. your mother is not expendable. and the very nextle day, he sigd an executive order mandating nursing homes where our most vulnerable mothers and fathers reside to accept covid positive patients. and as you mention, there are 5,000 residents of nursing homes, or patients put into nursing homes that have died that account for 25% of deaths o in the state of new york and 30% of the deaths in the community that i represent. and i believe that we need to have an independent investigation, and we cannot trust the state of new york to do an independen independent in. this is the attorney general that he handpicked in a special

election to be the candidate. so we have to have a federal investigation that will only -- that will be the only way we get a true independent investigation to take a look at what exactly occurred. and i can tell you something else, tucker, because i have been on the ground with the use nursing homes, and they did not have the proper ppe, the proper protective equipment to care for these individuals. not only does the governor mandate that they accept covid positive, but he did not even provide the proper protectivede equipment to keep them safe and stop the spread from within the nursing home, and we had pushed him on this. and local municipalities to protect the equipment. >> tucker: i knew when he was secretary in the '90s, he is a political person, you are in politics, really quickly, what was the political calculation in this decision? there must have been one.

>> to be honest, i don't know what the calculation was at that time. all i can tell you is that it doescu not make any sense when t of us are saying that our most vulnerable and most effective to put them in the nursing homes, my colleagues and i were scrambling for protective equipment to get to the nurses at these nursing homes because the city in the state were not providing an adequate supply. and two days later on the 27th, he let 110 1100 parolees, people that broke parole to be released from the prison. so it shows you his priority that he cared more about protecting the interests of these 1100 criminals than he did for the elderly, that is absolutely outrageous, tucker. >> tucker: they are just taxpayers, not criminals, vagrants, or illegal aliens. but shut up and pay the bills, that's the view as you know. great to see you tonight. good luck. >> thank you very much.

>> tucker: a health director in the california county, big county released that coronavirus might require moving people from their homes, now heo says, oh, that's not what i meant. we have the footage, you can decide what he meant. that's next. righ♪ but if you look to the , it's a whole different story. from farms to backyards, wheels are turning. seeds are being planted. animals are getting fed. and grass is growing. and families are giving their all to the soil because no matter how uncertain things get, the land never stops. so to all those linked to the land, we say thank you. we're here for you because we all run together.

>> tucker: by now you may have heard the phrase "contact tracing," that's when government

bureaucrats find people who are infected and then track everyone they ever interacted with. we are hearing that contact tracing might be a way to reopen rsociety. so of course, also a massive expansion of intrusion into your life. massive. this week, california health director from ventura county appear to suggest that beating the virus might require removing people from their homes. trace gallagher has more on this. >> arresting pedal borders who are looking for exercise. when the director of the ventura county health department, dr. robert leavens, said children could be forcibly removed from their homes, it struck a national nerve. he said he might've been misinterpreted or giving the wrong impression, except there was no missing interpretation. when they were talking about hiring new contact tracing investigators as you say, the people who investigate the

transmission of covid-19, he said that they were quoting "find people who had covid-19 and immediately isolate them. find every one of their contacts, make sure they stay quarantined and check in with them every day." and then he added this.th watch. >> every person who is isolated, for instance, needs to have their own bathroom. and so, we will be moving people like this into other kinds of housing. that we have available. >> that's when the kids were pulled out, but when the truth hit the fan, dr. walked it back. way back. >> i gave people the impression that if you were isolated, you would be takenth out of your hoe and put into a hotel room or a motel room, or sequestered in some other way, and if i did do that, i am very sorry. >> in california is actively promoting what they hope will become an army of 20,000 disease detectives to find everyone who

is unknowingly infected with tracking, tracing, and isolating those who test positive. or the health director saying ultimately it is customer service. tucker. >> tucker: talk about it, its customer service. great to see you tonight. thank you so much. so that is contact tracing, and being told that we are going to need a lot of it. they are going to have to track your cell phone forever, or else, you are not allowed to go back to work. but will it work? we have a million coronavirus cases in the country, more than 320 million citizens. what do we make of this. and senior fellow at the hoover institution. the doctor, thank you for coming on for it how do this? must we have it? >> thank you for having me, contact tracing is the tool for the public health pandemic, but not now, not in this stage, not when millions and millions of

people already have the virus. it sort of a completely illogical use of this very important tool. this contact tracing is useful when a new pandemic starts very early in a very focused small group like it happened in south korea at the beginning of all of this with a small religious sector. or if it comes back in st. paul or winter springs, after this has all closed down. right now there is -- it is simply illogical and impossible to do. contact tracing, there is no reason they have contact tracing as the reopening, it's the improper tool at this point in the infection. >> tucker: that is a striking thing to say, and you would know, so if no legitimate epidemiologist would recommend at this stage in the spread of the virus, why are they forcing on the country? >> i'm not saying no legitimate epidemiologist, but i think that it is a concern of what is happening in this whole

narrative. instead of looking at the data that we have and known medical science and then using logic to guide policy, and instead of acknowledging the massive harms of total isolation or jumping from an obsession about sensationalized numbers from a hypothetical production, or an obsession about testing, testing, testing. testing is important for three groups of people only right now. that's people entering nursing homes, people working in a hospital, taking care of patients or pandemic responders, and patients who have symptoms of a viral infection. these people need -- we need to know if they are contagious. but contact tracing is just simply, you know, i hate to say irrational, so i will say that it is not the appropriate time to use that tool. >> tucker: right, it may be very rational depending on what your goal is, but not if you are trying to fight this disease. it's great to see you. thank you for that.

[chanting] >> think you guys so much. i'm a little bit overwhelmed, i don't want to scare the kids. i'm okay. i just want to thank all of you who i just barely met, and now you are all my friends. you mean so much to me, and this would have been nothing without you. thank you so, so much.

and i will have more to say when ill can gather myself, but i ama little overwhelmed. [cheers and applause] >> tucker: that's good news, butoo it is still shocking that that woman went to jail for trying to go to work. texas governor dan patrick was one of luther's supporters in the state of texas, even requested to be punished in her place, joining us tonight. thanks so much for joining us tonight, how do you think this happened? how could a judge in your state throw a woman behind bars for going to work? >> when you are coldhearted, when you have no compassion, when you don't understand mercy, which by the way, tucker, every judge should have that quality. you can throw the book at certain people when they deserve to have the book thrown at them.

but as a judge when you are impacting people's lives, you have to have some humility. this judge had none. he demanded that she apologize to him. she really was not put in jail because she violated an order, she did. but as i have said many times with you and other shows on foxt we don't want to put anyone in jail. the point here. could've been a $50 fine, but no, he had to punish her. punish her. we saw the worst side of what a judge can be. and that's really what it is about. and this has been a great american story, tucker. it has caught the imagination of the people. and i think because it was a woman who stood alone, she was looking out for her 18 employees, she was willing to stand alone and pay the price. and she wouldy not yield to ths judge. she stood her ground, and then happened of course with the sentence.

hed people responded to it including the governor, the attorney general, and myself. when i offered to take her place, i was not trying to grandstand, i just thought maybe they made a mistake and it would give him a chance to save face. no, he did not want to save face. in fact, i'm sure that it was grinding on him today, he learned, don't mess with texas. >> tucker: it is so cruel andha awful coming into think that somebody like that would sit in judgment of americans day in and day out, i know that your judges are elected, so hopefully voters will correct this. >> it is on the ballot in november. >> tucker: what is he doing to other americans in his courtroom? >> he has a reputation of being a judge who can beoi pretty col. i would call him a radical leftist on the portal, but what has happened we have seen the human cost over the last twoo months now that has been

terrible. nearly 70,000 americans have the most heartbreaking thing about that is that they die alone. it's a terrible price these people have paid. but there is also another price that the people have paid, and when you have dreamed a dream of owning your own business and he put everythingwn into it, and tn it is taken away from you, everything you have ever had to, your life savings to build up for this moment, your dream, and then it is taken away and a judge treats you like this. this is not a way america should be. this is not the way the judicial system should work. and yes, she should not have broken the order, but a $50 fine. and actually, if i had been on the bench, i would say, i would find you $50, shelley, but i salute you for standing up. and go ahead and go back to work. he could not do that. it's the difference between republicans and democrats in this country, tucker.

the democrats seem to enjoy being tyrants during this time. they want to put the fist down on people. you see it everywhere and states, dr. courtney and orders in cities. and this was a local decision by a local judge. and a democrat. the republicans, i would like to think that we have some passion and compassion and mercy and understand these things. >> tucker: this is the most entitled privilege judge i have ever seen. shocking. >> that's not who we are as a people. that's not who we are. >> tucker: it should not be. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: in some parts of the country, people risk in jail or earning a living, but other places, law officers are refusing to play along with what is so obviously a power grab with no basis. mohave county, arizona, bigger than the state of maryland by territory, fewer than 150 coronavirus cases. the sheriff says he will not enforce doug ducey's draconian stay-at-home order.

he joins us tonight. sheriff, thank you for coming on. so you will not enforce this, why? >> first of all, tucker, thank you for having me. i want to be very clear, this is not the country that i grew up in. i never thought i would see a day where hardworking americans are criminalized for trying to make a living supporting their family. we read in the constitution, which is very clear, it's obvious to me that we have a lot of overreach, which is very damaging, and the constitution, the last time i checked, the law of the land, in order for the law to be constitutional, it would fairly apply to all of our citizens people. that is not the case outs here. so having said that, i made the statement that i amm not going o make criminals out of people that are trying to make a living, and i stand behind that. >> tucker: does doug ducey and your governor believe that he can supersede the constitution? has he said this to you?
