so many of them joined the resistance to him and fought him to then nail in every way not to mention the farcical investigation into alleged russia collusion. those people should fall into silence and let it play. >> so far four republican senators have congratulated joe biden. former acting fbi director angela mccabe said the agency had many reasons to investigate russian interference in the 2016 election, told the senate judiciary committee the bureau has reason to believe then candidate donald trump was a danger to national security. mccabe also admits he would not have signed off on a warrant for carter page. >> i signed a package that included numerous factual errors. >> and accept the are lawyer

admitted to falsifying documents to obtain the warrant. and arrest has been made in the murder of a veteran houston police officer. he is accused of shooting and killing sean rios, releasing video of someone they call a person of interest. the man in the black shirt was seen in a parking lot. sergeant rios is a 25 year veteran and father of four. his brothers and blue went to his son's football game and wanted to make sure he wasn't alone. the supreme court hinting it may keep obamacare in place, republicans, brett kavanaugh saying the court could remove the individual mandate without breaking down the entire affordable care act. chief justice john roberts had a decade to repeal the law but didn't, joe biden slamming the case and promises to protect americans healthcare.

>> this is so frustrating because this is an going on for years and no one is held accountable except some low-level lawyers who clearly lied to the fisa court by changing a detail about carter page but i find him to be smug or credible at all. any basic agent, any brand-new baby assistant us attorney would have looked at the critical piece of evidence lodged against the trump campaign now known as the steel dossier and seeing it was a pack of lies and for him to say that he knows now that he shouldn't have gotten the fisa warrant shows his absolute incompetence, or what i believe is their rush to want to believe what was in the steel dossier.

it would be too good to check because they wanted to be leave the russia collusion narrative, none of them were doing their jobs, clearly had an anti-trump bias like peter stzrok and lisa page did. nothing in the steel dossier ever should have been found credible by anyone at the fbi or the doj and he knows that. jillian: carly mentioned it was fiery at times. let's look at one of those moments. senator mike lee said the entire process needs an overhaul. >> they can't be trusted with it. we need to scrap fisa and need to overhaul the fbi. >> do you agree with him? >> i don't. i worked in front of the fisa court. it is a very valuable tool, to survey all terrorists and foreign governments, people trying to spy on us and the system is supposed to work, you

have a corrupt cobol operating without accountability and bypassing normal standards. bringing in a new attorney general and deputy attorney general, the person who refuse the fisa warrants, they need to be grilled by the senate by both sides of the senate as to whether processes will be to review these materials and to ensure americans especially are protected. it was never designed to survey all american citizen, in the most extraordinary circumstances and an abuse of power and accountability would bring reform. >> a lot has been made of william barr authorizing investigations into voter fraud, but all he is saying is telling

federal prosecutors if you see egregious evidence of this, investigate, so tell us about that. how significant is his statement? a lot of people are freaking out about it. >> it is a tempest in a teapot. all he has really done is told the nation's presidentially appointed united states attorneys they can do their job the way they do in any every criminal case every day across the country. they don't have to ask the bureaucrats sitting at headquarters in washington, the kind of bureaucrat to approve the fisa warrant against carter page, don't have to ask bureaucrats in washington for permission to investigate a possible crime the way they do every day. it is being blown out of proportion but i am glad to see william barr and the department of justice are on potential fraud. jillian: thank you for your insight. have a good day. still ahead, high-powered

end of december but possible they are working together and by working together they will get more out and alex azar said that, enough for all americans march through april. we don't actually need all americans to get the covid-19 vaccine. when it comes to the flu vaccine not even half of americans get it, enough to reach that herd immunity, the number we've been talking about, 70% of the population. stanford did a study that 20% or less of the population has had covid-19. we have a ways to go. we need to get half the population with the vaccine to reach that herd immunity so we can safely go back to resuming normal life. i hate timelines but the timeline is exciting and i do love they are putting forth these numbers and are working hard behind the scenes to make sure it gets out so we can get back to normalcy. >> the possibility, what you

think about the possibility of having more than one effective vaccine. you heard anthony fauci say moderna had a similar vaccine. >> they are using the vaccine similar to the moderna one, similar results and close in their timeline, half a dozen of her vaccines i relate stage clinical trials. we don't just have one vaccine candidate but many, the numbers being put forth we will supersede these. it is going to be crucial because these vaccines really require precarious storage, that such cold temperatures, 97 degrees fahrenheit, and do not have the storage spaces. pfizer is saying they are

jillian: can joe biden successfully sue to force the trump administration to begin this transition of power. >> well, he can try. the precedent isn't good. can he always get an anti trump judge to do anything these days. but in 2000, during the dispute between bush and gore the "columbus dispatch" didn'clintot allow early on acowarding to the counts to proceed until mid december after the supreme court ruled. so i don't think he can force his way into power effectively by having a trump administration official bless his disputed election at this point. carley: disputed indeed they have active lawsuits in michigan, nevada and pennsylvania. that lawsuit in georgia was dismiss. in your opinion does the president have a path forward? do you think that anything could be gained from this in the end? >> well, if he keeps the presidency, that would be a big

gain for him. is that possible. >> substantial concerns about fraud in pennsylvania. i think that's a serious lawsuit. the other opportunities are to have the state legislature step in, and you need the political fight there to confirm one way or another whether these post election counting was proper. in pennsylvania, it's a republican controlled legislature, same in georgia, same in arizona. they have independent authority to appoint electors and then ultimately congress gets to decide which electors to accept or not. so, if the president so chose, he could really push this far. carley: yeah. the election not over until mid december. so the fight continues. meantime, andrew mccabe was grilled by the senate judiciary committee yesterday. and he said he would not have signed the carter page warrant if he knew what he knows now. meaning he knew there were fraudulent mistakes in it.

is that a good enough excuse? do you think he should have known? >> i don't think he is telling the truth he did know and he signed it anyway. we know he is a liar. he was fired from the fbi for lying under oath and not under oath so he covers both bases. he knew general flynn had done nothing wrong. he investigation against him for the logan act. joe biden was all in to that as well. the logan act a law that is never used. it's supposed to prohibit private persons from from communicating or setting up own foreign policy which is what joe biden is doing now. is he not violating the logan act. general flynn wasn't violating the logan acts. yet, this guy, andrew mccabe, targeted trump with this illicit spying. he was warned about the veracity of the sources behind and it

suspicious nature of it. he didn't tell the courtney of it. frankly, what he did tell the court was on its face absurd and he should have known just basted on the information given to him this was a joke. it was all about politics and using his powers in the fbi to target someone namely president trump in an unprecedented ways. i want to know where the heck durham has been through all of this. it's now after the election. still no word what he thought about this or what he is going to do. carley: yeah. it was certainly quite the moment when i think it was ted cruz, if i'm not mistaken, brought up ben rhodes and said, listen, general flynn's life was ruined because of the phone call he had after president trump became president-elect trump and he was talking slammed with logan act violation ben rhodes has already said that the trump team, they are talking to foreign leaders as well. so, does that violate the logan act as well? it doesn't seem to be the case?
