we're going to have a lot more on that story tomorrow and the tape and the metaphor for what's happening here. we have to tell you. that's it for tonight, happy evening. sean hannity. ♪ >> sean: welcome to this "hannity" history special, unmasking the plan case. tonight we will review the years long persecution of lieutenantst general michael flynn. while the media mob was busy obsessing about russia, russia, ukraine, ukraine, impeachment, impeachment, we took a different course on this program. our ensemble cast determined to uncover the real government abuse of power and corruption. we got it right, they got it wrong. we start three years ago in 2017 when we first sounded the alarm about unmasking, leaking raw intelligence and surveillance. take a look. >> general flynn is a wonderful

man. i think he's been treated very, very unfairly by the media. as i call it, the fake media. and i think it is really a sad thing he was treated so badly. i think in addition to that from intelligence, papers are beingth leaked, things are being leaked, criminal action has been going on for a long time before me. but now it is really going on. and people are trying to cover up for a terrible loss under hillary clinton. i think it is very, very unfair what is happening to general flynn the way he was treated in the documents and papers that were illegally and i stress illegally leaked. very, very unfair. >> sean: all right, thursday at the white house talking about mike flynn's resignation and the leaks from intelligence

agencies. prior to the press conference early this morning, trump tweeted "the real scandal is the classified information is illegally given out by intelligence, like candy, very un-american." joining us from house intelligence chairman devin nunes is with us. congressman, good to see you again. c isn't it a crime, in fact to leak this information? isn't it a violation of the espionage act among other things? >> there could have been multiple crimes committed, sean, for sure leaking classified information is punishable by law. this needs to be looked into by the appropriate agencies. in fact, our committee will request agencies look into this to try to bring these perpetrators accountable and hold them accountable under the law. >> sean: i want to go back and this was a little notice piece in "the new york times." the waning days of the administration.

and actually said the obama administration expanded the power of the national security agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections. does that mean the list of potential leakers is that much bigger or not? >> well, if that is thee case, e were never notified of that the house intelligence committee. what i will say, sean, it is not just about what leaked, the transcripts that leaked on general flynn. it is also about the transcripts donald trump talking to the mexican president, talking to the australian prime minister, those also leaked. so this is a state here falling apart and totally unacceptablera for anyone within government to be doing this. malcolm i think mostar of this s probably for people in the but there still could be some people that have burrowed in and providing

classified information to the media.e >> sean: it is clearly a violation of law, is that not congressman? isn't this the type of thing where if you have robed intelligence people, and they are intercepting from illegally intercepting phone calls of americans, that is illegal. in other words, if, in fact, they wanted to get the intel or for example hack into the phone in this particular case, general flynn, wouldn't they have to get a court subpoena to do so? >> that is correct. i'm not aware that they did that. so my guess is the intelligence agencies did not do this. when i'm assuming is that this was picked up as they were tracking and if that is the would have to go to the highest levels ofis the obaa administration to get approval to unmask who that person is, and in this case that was general flynn. and if you look at these leaks, sean, it looks like these

original leaks, leaks that the media had at the beginning ofor january. >> sean: that would mean -- the attorney general, would you recommend the attorney general convene a grand jury to get to the bottom of this? >> well, look, the first thing that would have to happen is the fbi needs to do a full investigation of this and try to track down the leaker. >> sean: former cia director john brennan testified on public till today as part of the investigation into whether russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. this comes as a new, explosive report by circuit news, john solomon and sara carter details how obama intelligence agency violated americans privacy for years and then secretly disclosed this at a closed-door hearing just days before president donald trump was elected.

and today during his congressional testimony, brennan had this to say about whether or not he personally requested to yhave americans names unmasked. watch this. >> we are talking about prohibitions that you place on yourself with respect to identifying u.s. persons as part of the surveillance programs, prright? >> that's correct. >> and you just cited some of the very important reasons that we do that. and i would assume that there it a process. a protocol under whichh the intelligence community goes through if they seek to unmask a use u.s. persons. correct.s >> have you ever requested a u.s. persons to be unmasked? >> sean: the breaking news from circa, let's start with you sara, this breaking news report and a lot more to come tomorrow as i understand it. >> yes, sean. what we know is this. we just broke the story

yesterday with the cia, the largest consumer of unmasking americans of any agency that we know right now. we can't give you exact numbers because those are classified, but we know the majority of unmasking of americans occurred with the cia. what is even more interesting about that is that under the cia's own purview, since 1947, they were charter is not to spy on americans. so the question is, why are they doing this? what are they looking at and what purposes? what john and i are also breaking is that we know that the nsa under obama violated the privacy protection when they n were searching actually the databases at the nsa. so nobody knew this until we were able to get our hands on these documents, john and i. these are from the fisa courts. what happened is obama last fall, his administration actually admitted to the court

that they had been in violation of these rules. and they were actually chastised by the courts. severely chastised, saying they were, you know, violating the fourth amendment rights of americans. and i think these are two very serious issues. >> sean: all right, i want you to propose this, john, if you may, if you can for the audience, the increase in surveillance that you saw in the this election cycle, this is march 2015, the presidential cycle, the recent one started. what you saw in terms of surveillance, unmasking the percentage of increase and i think i got it wrong, 600 but over 350%.er and connected to what sara explained to theke audience. >> you said a couple of weeks ago that it felt like we were peeling back and onion. that is exactly what we done. obama loosened the rules to allow espionage community to look at american data. then we reported they look at

donald trump's associates and unmask intelligence report. they reported they unmasked members of congress. then we reported that a number of unmasking tripled, 300% increase under barack obama after he change the rules. lenight for the first time, we can say confidently there has been a finding that some of the espionage, spying on americans, actually violated the law. the court concluded it violated the fourth amendment protection against illegal search and seizure appearance will be gone from something at the beginning susan riceag defended herself tt all ofiz this is a legal and governed by tight rules to now yes, we violated those rules. and they disclose that days before trump was elected president. there is a reason to go to the court that late in the election season, and we will have to find out why t tid they did it. >> sean: i want to ask you both because this is so important. a dramatic increase in surveillance, unmasking and intelligence leaking has occurred. we have john brennan today admitting ang unmasking occurre. i guess with the american people

really need to know and sara i will throw this to you. we need to know with this government under the guise they have been using national security, use the weaponry of our intelligence agencies to spy, unmask political opponents in an election cycle. political opposition and a political cycle and how deep does it go? in other words, how high up does it go? does that make sense? >> yeah, it does make sense, sean. there is enough evidence that we've been able to present through our numerous stories and our investigation to suggest that somebody needs to look into this. now, remember all of these documents are highly classified. so if anybody was to leak to us, let's say a report collected like a fisa report that they actually saw, then we don't know what they were looking at. we don't know. weol have our suspicions. and based on what people have said that these reports basically had nothing to do with russia or russia collusion but appeared to be very strange onto reports.

we know some of them were regarding the president and other people in his campaign. and so, looking at that on its face, and of suspicion to believe there is a possibility that this could have been used for political espionage. intelligence. >> coming up, we will review all the gross misconduct in the case of general flynn as comey, mccabe laid a perjury trap, ambush and then bragged about it. don't go away. this special history edition of "hannity" continues. ♪ go away. this special history ed mission of "hannity" continues. -- edition of "tucker carlson tonight" stomach "hannity" continues.

this, of course, was not the case with lieutenant general flynn, the transcript was created and given to intelligence officials who then leaked the details to the press, which by the way, is a felony or according to the espionage act. >> sean: now the evidence t has been laid bare for all to see. nothing, absolutely nothing was done by the book. we were right back in march 2017 and beyond. take a look. >> it is the moment we have now been anticipating a long time on their show. equal justice, keep equal application of the laws. lieutenant general flynn was a war hero and serve this country honorably and with distinction. with multiple tours of duty in iraq and afghanistan and put his arms away for freedom of life. 33 years of total service. he was unfairly and unjustly targeted deep state bureaucrats that clearly with all of the evidence now to prove it, wanted to take them down. we have newly unsealed documents that prove that corrupt agents from jim comey's fbi were

discussing strategies on how to set general flynn up on what we call "a perjury trap." according to one handwritten note an unnamed agent said, what is the goal, truth, admission or to get him to lie? to get him to like him is that our goal? so we can prosecute him or get him fired! is that the fbi's role? at this, in an email peter strzok and his lover, lisa page discussed how to casually slip an end add admission about lying under oath to send a stronger perjury trap. these agents were preparing for an interview that ultimately did take place on january 24, 2017. day four of the trump administration. truth truth be told, a illegal abuse of corrupt ambush. remember during a phone call, tdeputy fbi director mccabe recommended flynn, you don't need an attorney present during the interview. that would have been miranda

rights violation. four days after president trump's inauguration, peter strzok, one other agent they visited the white house and they were they are to interrogate plan. they were sent in by james comey himself. james comey bragging, saying he sent the agents to grill flynn four days into the administration and he wanted to exploit the chaos inside the transitioning white house. something he would never do in the bush or obama administration or get away with. ultimately, that perjury trap was not a success. agents saw no indication at all that the national security advisor was lying. they didn't believe he was lying.ti they said they did not believe he was lying! the fbi turned the screws anyway. they threaten to lock flynn up for years. n he eventually went bankrupt. he had to sell his home. they threatened to prosecute his son! they ultimately forced him to plead guilty, get this, guilty plea, making him a felon for the rest of his life where they were

going to prosecute his son! they didn't think he lied, but then they forced him to life, coerced him into making statements, why? to protect his son. now, frankly, what great father wouldn't do that? well, either you signed this or we will put your sent away for the rest of his life. where do i sign? flynn was set up. it was a perjury trap all along. now the fbi collusion narrative, they knew it was a hoax. no information regarding that. they were hell-bent onon punishg anyone and everyone inside the trump administration. by the way, mr. comey, i have been warning you, you have the right to remain silent. i suggest you use it. you do not listen to me. jim, tick tock. keep in mind, we have been right every step of the way.

the media mob, what have they been doing? they have lied, advanced hoax after hoax, conspiracy theoryirr after conspiracy theory, a state run so-called news channels, oh, the socialist paper record of the united states. the new york toilet paper times. take a look. >> this is week one of the trump presidency. in the name of james comey's book, "higher loyalty" wouldn't that be the united states constitution the rule of law equal justice under the law? does that sound like justice to you? or is someone trying to trap general flynn? from day one. >> page after page after page of evidence, corrupt agents like mccabe, peter strzok, comey, and others conspiring to set lieutenant general flynn up and ruin his life. by the way, this is exhibit a, a corrupt bureaucracy that is a threat to everything we hold dear. our republic is now and i'm not overstating this. we are facing a clear and present danger. america is at a tipping point. we have a very important

drop its case. vindicated but despite the deep state, sadly continues to say, watch this. >> breaking tonight the department of justice and attorney general barr rightly drops all charges against lieutenant general michael flynn. that meansd soon nearly four yer nightmare and ordeal will be over and onlys if the presiding federal judge emmet sullivan motion.ith the doj's flynn was, we have told you for years and is an innocent man. he is an honorable man purity 33 year veteran who served this country with distinction but because of his support for president trump, he, like the president, and many other people around the president, they were subjected to years of total hell by a corrupt t group of dirty cs to quote joseph digenova. the first time he set on the

show, dirty cops. all my families and law enforcement. that is not how we believe cops act and you know what it was only 1%. what happened to general flynn is just a tip of the iceberg. first, we have to address the foundation of this great republic. what is it, our constitution, liberty, justice, equal justice under the law, equal application of the laws. people who abuse power, who are corrupt my powers of tools misused, people with agendas, in this case what was an attempt at stopping donald trump from being president, and then undoing an election. in other words, they didn't likt the choice of view, we the people, so they did everything in their power, a lot of corrupt things, illegal things, to take donald trump down. they tried ever since he was elected and even before he was elected. shortly after the doj's announcement, lieutenant general flynn he tweeted out this video of his grandson. it reminds us that there are good people and that there is hope and that sometimes with good people in power, justice can and will prevail.

>> the united states of america. one nation under god. the visible with liberty and justice for all. [applause] >> sean: maybe you can teach joe biden how to say things, i don't know, because he got it right. good job. general flynn's grandson understands the core american principle better than some of these corrupt, bad actors who tried to persecute his grandfather. let's take a look at how we got here. let's start in early january, 2017 before president trump was sworn into office, the fbi determined flynn had done nothing wrong, nothing. in fact, crossfire, comey's crossfire hurricane no evidence of collusion from anyone

associated with donald trump, thanks to a recent document discovery, we learned by january 2017, there was no derogatory material on flynn in the fbi's files. zero in the defense until agency's files. zero derogatory materials as it relates to material in the cia files. and we know that by january 4, 2017, the case against flynn was supposed to be closed. that is until the fbi leadership on the infamous seventh floor got involved. that same date peter strzok said don't close out the case and then comes jim comey. a few weeks later, the trump administration,th peter strzok asking "what is our goal, truth, admission, or to get general flynn to live? so then we can prosecute him and get him fired or get him fired?" those words should never come out of anybody in the fbi ever! the goal should be justice and truth only. that is not a question that he should have ever asked. the fact that he asked it and

got answers is scary. that quote quite literally is the definition of a perjury trap. jim comey's fbi, all the means to an end. january 24th, mr. higher loyalty super patriot himself jim comey directed his agents to ambush, general flynn at the white house and as he bragged about to take advantage of the chaos in the white house so we wouldn't do obama administration and push aside all due process which would be going through the white house general counsel. in other words, comey' disreputable right-hand man mccabe, you don't need a lawyer. that was a lie too. it was all set up. and comey sent them in. idiotic, pompous jack that he bragged about, he bragged about the whole trick on camera.

think about this. does this sound like a guy that has a higher loyalty to truth, honor, law enforcement, the constitution of the united states? because to me, he is the dirty cop that joe digenova warned us about. >> you look at the white house now and start to imagine to go fbi agents. how does that happen? >> i sent them. [laughter] something that i probably wouldn't have done or gotten away with in a more organized investigation, more organized administration. in the george w bush or the obama administration. both of those administrations there was process. so the fbi wanted to send agents into the white house itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the white house counsel and there would be discussions, approvals, and it would be there. i thought it is early enough, let's just send a couple of guys over. >> sean: you think that is funny, jim?

hireally? a 33 year veteran of the country, jim, really? you don't need a lawyer? you are sending himre in, settig him up and doing things to him you wouldn't do to anybody else? wow, using the logan act 1799 a law that nobody has been prosecuted under ever!hito toe? squeeze lieutenant general flynn. nobody ever found guilty of violating that obscure law since 1799. get this the agents who conducted the ambush, they didn't think that flynn was lying. we don't have the original 302 notes that strzok and page talk about seemingly altering later on. because in search of a crime, you have people like strzok and page doing the bidding of comey

and mccabe and made significant revisions to 302, and in other words, they change the interview notes and set them up again. by the way, they invented a perjury trap to say you don't need a lawyer. what is our goal, we want him to lie or set them up for perjury so we get prosecuted? all the while, comey, rod rosenstein and others premeditated fraud on the fisa court. you have heard a lot of that from me over the years. despite hillary's bought and paid for dossier, even new york toilet paper times figured out it was likely russian disinformation from the beginning. yeah, she paid for russian interference. and they used it as the basis, the bulk of information on the fisa warrant applications. oh, by the way we learned a lot in the papers and we will get to that. and by the way, take away carter page's civil liberties and constitutional rights. in june 2017 well into the trump administration, mccabe, rosenstein signed off on the foreign fisa renewal. they knew months earlier it was useless. they had debunked it and they knew it wasn't true.

they knew the sub source after three interviews had said, steel, that is not accurate. august 2, 2017 acting agag rod rosenstein providing robert mueller with a letter detailing the scope of the investigation. that scope consisted of a few dozen faceless charges and a p w allegationsth totally unrelatedo collusion! the accusations against general flynn had previously been debunked by the fbi in early january. premeditated fraud on a fisa court. they wereby warned before october 2016 fisa application. we have in these papers, andrew mccabe admitting, i don't know --e he actually said, i don't know if any of it is true. then he also said, without it, they would have never gotten this piece fisa application approved. t,guys like adam schiff had been hiding from we the people thisis time we found out today. the mueller probe was always a political witch hunt, a hoax, a conspiracy against donald trump. this was an attempted coup to

undo a duly elected president and take him down. and lie about it the whole way. that is why they turned the screws on flynn. i'm looking at the tweets by idiots like schiff and nadler today.es the fbi didn't think he was lying but they threaten to put his son in jail after bankrupt and after he had to sell his house and he had no more money left at that point to pay the legal feesel and they said they would lock up the guy's son, where do i sign? like the great soldier heid was, he dove onto the sword to protect his family. that is not lying. that is prosecutorial misconduct. that is abuse of power! that is corruption at therd highest levels! today, the president referred to it as treason. take a look.co >> he was targeted by the obama administration, and he was targeted in order to try to take down the president. and what they have done is a disgrace. i hope a lot of people will pay a big price because they are

dishonest, crooked people. they are scum and i say it a lot. they are human scum. this should have never happen in this country. the obama administration justice department is a disgrace and they got caught. they got caught. very dishonest people, but much more than this, treason, it is treason. >> sean: what they did to general plan, papadopoulos, paul manafort, roger stone all a means to the and based on phony bought and paid for russian lights and they knew they were russian lies. they didn't care that they were on day 33 year veteran's life or his family's life, these bad actors, they wanted to undo your election, yours meaning we, the american people at all cost. naturally the mob and the media, they were cheering it on wrongly every step of the way. this is just the tip of the iceberg. let's take a look. >> did flynn go rogue by the way when he spoke to russia?

well. >> that would be a biggerta scandal than almost anything we have ever seen in any other presidential administration. >> breaking news, abc news ryan ross is reporting michael flynn promised to the mueller team and is prepared to testify that as a candidate donald trump directed him to make contact with the russians! yes! [applause] >> the fact that michael flynn's guilty plea today and thisis mas this a historic day in d.c. >> the fact is michael flynn betrayed his country. >> michael flynn betrayed the nation. >> sean: michael flynn did nothing wrong! where are they apologies? where does he go to get his good name back? where does he go to gett his house back? how does he get four years of his life back? because those idiots in the media mob, they have been lying, smearing, besmirching character assassinating everybody and anybody just in their psychotic rage against donald trump, like

they are doing right now, like they do every day. washington compost, new york toilet paper times, fake news p cnn, conspiracy tv msnbc carried the water for all the lies, conspiracy theories, every hoax, every bad actor, they published every deceptive lie and leaks and lie to purposely mislead the american people every second, every minute, every hour of every day to bludgeon the president. you, we the people, elected. not only is it a disservice to the country, they too must be held accountable. this is dangerous what they have done here! they got awfully close to succeeding on a mountain of lies that they perpetrated because they are too lazy and they are too corrupt to search for real truth. all of those so called news outlets missed the biggest abusa of power, corruption story they had ever had in their lifetime. and they peddled conspiracy theories in the end. we on this program, we were

searching for truth and justice. we went on our own path with our ensemble team. after a long wait, finally this is the beginning. justice is coming. senator grassley said the durham investigation into the investigators will likely result prosecutions. jim comey, tick-tock, i hope you are worried tonight. your corruption has been laid bare for all to see. you, it will say that our friend joe digenova who may beie on ths program is my family and my mom was a prison guard. my dad was a probation officer. i had cousins who were cops. there were two guys in my family who made it to the fbi. it was a reference for them unlike any other family member. anyway, tonight, comey sees himself as an american hero. he is so delusional on twitter, complaining about the doj seeking the truth and dropping its case against flynn. the doj has lost its way, but career people please stay. america needs you and the

country is wanting honest, competent people. the deep stators asking them to stick around to make a return. i don't think anyone on earth will be taking any advice from the disgraced, fired fbi director. soon, if there is justice, equal justice, equal application, well, jim, i warned you a long time ago, you have the right to remain silent and i suggest you use it. ♪ up next, the coverage of clearly biased judge presiding in the case against lieutenant general michael flynn. s stay with us has a special history each edition of "continues.ay ♪

james clapper, for example, mike neufeld with the u.s. treasury, he was working intelligence on iran. when he asked for unmasking on michael flynn, you have to ask yourself, okay, what was he looking for? what was hee trying to find? when you think of samantha power, the leak to "the washington post," and the fact they had told david in nations they were looking at a logan act violation and it went sideways from that and revealed highly classified information, which was very legitimate and he was allowed to i have. michael flynn with ambassador russian. you have to ask yourself how long had the obama officials been doing this? and that needs to be the biggest part of the concern for john durham. that is exactly what he will be looking at. how extensive were the the unmaskings? we only know this by sheer accident and by sheer coincidence that we were able to find this t out. had president trump not won the election, we would never be the wiser and this is how that administration and those people within that administration would have operated.

i'm sure there's a lot more people that were unmasked other athan general michael flynn. >> sean: oh, this is just the tip of the iceberg. gregg jarrett, let's talk about the legality in play here in the judge. >> judge emmet sullivan, as i wrote in a column today, he is either taking leave or he is exhibiting, outrageous political bias. i think it is a bit of both. we learned late last week through suddenly released documents that this, flynn was a victim of false accusations in a wrongful prosecution by unprincipled, overzealous prosecutors from bob mueller's office. and, you know the department of justice finally came to their senses and said, wait a minute. this case should have never been prosecuted. it was fraudulent to begin with

and we will drop the charges. sullivan and doesn't want to do that. he has invited people with an agenda, former watergate prosecutors to come into the courtroom and tell them what to think and how to rule, which is ridiculous. and now, he has appointed a retired judge to come in there and invent a new crime with a charge for michael flynn, perjury for trying to withdraw his guilty plea. this is a clown show. sullivan is the head clown. he should recuse himself, and frankly, he has no business being on a federal bench. >> sean: we will continue to follow it. there is a lot of legal issues. great work both of you. maybe "the new york times" and "the washington post" with the pulitzers should consider giving you guys are right and not them. they were wrong. they got pulitzers for a hoax. ♪ more of this special edition of "hannity" after the break. ♪rs times... whether you're caring for your family at home or those at work,
