by the way, you couldn't tell the difference between loretta lynch and loretta lynn. gislation done. >> or peter lynch because this is a business show. dagen: a lot of americans feel like we deserve to get to the bottom of what was discussed, and if the investigation into hillary clinton came up. that is the key thing. as a taxpayer, i do want to know what loretta lynch was doing. maybe nothing will come of it, but i would love to know, as her salary. people on the left should want to know because the reason james comey went public with the investigation was because he was so uncomfortable with what he saw happening from loretta lyn lynch. >> i would love to be talking to loretta lynn as well but were on this topic now. >> you put some of the under answers than you do when she is on a softball interview on another network. eric what you have, not. >> good morning. we are talking about how president trump can drain the d.c. swamp. we will see you at 1130. dagen: thank you. we will be watching. up next, president trump scoring a legislative win. the houseboats to defund

how did loretta lynch, if you know, how did she get involved in this?> i don't know how she got involved but it is obvious that russian attorney was here on capitol hill and apparently had a lot more success with democrats. she was lobbying than with republicans. and you know, normally to be sitting behind an ambassador like she was, you showed the picture, ambassador -- lou: got it right over your shoulder now. >> i've been in, no telling whom hearings, and you don't normally have your enemies behind you. you have people that can slip you a note, give you information, things like that, that sit directly behind you, especially if you are the kind of protected status of ambassador but of course we also know during the obama administration they didn't protect their ambassadors. they left them to die, for example, in benghazi. but most administrations do anything they can to help in support their ambassador. you don't allow an enemy to sit behind you at a hearing. it just doesn't happen. lou: this -- go ahead. >> that is pretty amazing. and so all of this

loretta lynch pushing back on reports that -- driven by a russian intelligence memo, that lynch gavece to former clinton aide amanda renteria. the senate judiciary committee is investing that claim, and late yesterday, lynch's lawyers sent a letter to the committee denying allegations. anthony, can you break this down? there's a lot of going back and forth. >> eboni: she's assuring that she didn't limit the scope of the clinton administration. if it's just that stuff, eric, that we are seeing, the credibility, it must be leaked memos, maybe she would be okay. but jim comey is still a problem for loretta lynch. who can forget the compelling testimony that we all sat and waited for where he basically said loretta lynch gave him clinton campaign words around how to deal with the investigation. >> don't call it an investigation. >> kat: that's not even the worst of it to me, to say it didn't go too far? that wouldn't be bad. but for her to tell comey, call it a matter, not investigation, that's her using her position to make sure or try to make sure that it doesn't go too far. that's ver

i think that's going to be very critical for loretta lynch to clear the air on the situation. that it does raise the question, why did loretta lynch recuse herself after she had that email investigation following the meeting she had with hillary clinton's husband? secondly, remember that it was fbi james comey who said in his testimony saying that it was loretta lynch who wanted to not call it an investigation but call it a matter. it's these democrats who are part -- senator, republican -- both coming out and saying we have to ask questions, this is concerning, and she will have to respond to these situations aunt these documents that have come out. i think it does raise the bigger question for comey saying why she wanted to downgrade the hillary clinton investigation. >> leland: juan, two mercedes point, if you read the statement and take it apart, they discuss the clinton email investigation. that leaves open a lot of other things to discuss with bill clinton on the tarmac and it leaves open the issue of discussing with a james comey whether to call it an investigation or m

people don't like loretta lynch but she says he asked her for the meeting.d her how to talk about it with the concern being that they never confirm or deny whether an investigation is taking place. she said he asked if he had a problem with the phrasing. he said no. it's good when comey is telling a story to get all sides. that's true even with very partisan people like loretta lynch. >> neil: so her concern was using the word was explosive? if it was very important to him, he would have said a matter, sort of relegates it to not important. but he didn't. >> right. time to address the issue is when someone asked him, if we believe loretta lynch here, the time would be to ask him if he had a problem with it. it's a part of a pattern of storytelling by james comey. he always comes out as the hero. as we have learned, for someone claims not to be leaking, he does a very good job with it. since leaking is a main issue of concern here and in fact could be a matter of law breaking, that needs to be investigated. it's true even though he's out of his position now.

but you had an interesting situation with loretta lynch in the chair.nvestigate hillary clinton for the email case, but pay-to-play, than is some evidence of that, and we want to you investigate nose two people you see on the descreent right, loretta lynch for whether she unduly influenced the investigation and james comey for whether he was engaged in politics and both arguably could be potential crimes. what took james comey so long to reveal the fact that loretta lynch asked him to lie about the nature of the investigation? he just revealed it recently in his congressional testimony. why did he conceal that information? that's why members of congress want a new special prosecutor devoted to just that. lori: and the need for a second special investigation is you point out we should take a closer look into the clinton foundation and how she used her office to even' rich herself and her husband gregg: it's a crime to use your office to confer benefit from a foreign country. her emails suggest her donors gained special access. she helped ubs avoid the ir

you look at loretta lynch, she hasn't even subpoenaed. how has loretta lynch not been subpoenaed? you have that, and what about the uranium one. why hasn't anyone investigated the yo uranium one, and the crimes being committed by the clinton foundation and the millions given from saudi arabia. besides from the leakers and everybody else, it seems like this is a one-way pylon, and i think that's my father's frustration. where is it on the other side when there are legitimate crimes over there and everybody has proof about it. you don't have any proof on russia. there is nothing there. but you do have proof that loretta lynch was on a airplane bill clinton while they were investigating his wife. you know, what would actually take there? it can be a one-way street. steve: well, there are four republican congressman and one of them jim jordan joins us earlier, ainsley, to talk about how they want a special counsel to look at no, i do not all of that stuff. >> and i commend jim for doing that, and i commend them for doing that. we need to do that. ed: not follow up, though, pardon me,

why isn't there a special prosecutor to look into not just comey's decision make and loretta lynch'sy clinton. melissa: i read your stuff and it's delicious and delightful but nobody ever goes to jail. gregg: i remember during watergate a lot of guys went to jail. melissa: please roll the video. two adventurers combining their love for tropical islands and their love for tropical fruit. watch as they jump out of a plane over a stunning caribbean island known as guadalupe. they play catch with a coconut while free flying at 120 miles per hour. that's crazy. the trump administration pushing for increased inspections at iranian military sites and iranian military sites and threats from the rogue r r r r r i am totally blind. and non-24 can make me show up too early... or too late. or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ the toothpaste that helps new parodontax. prevent bleeding gums. if you spit blood when you brush or floss you may have gum problems and could be on the journey to much worse. help stop the journey of gum disease.

the reason why this russian lawyer was even in town was because of loretta lynch under obama let her in. >> loretta lynch let her in because there was a client that she was the attorney for that needed representation. they allowed her to stay longer because they were waiting for the motion. then when she was here, she definitely met with different people regarding opening up adoption with russia again. as a parent, i'm in favor of anything we can do to help people throughout the world adopt children that need homes. but she was not up front, not only with the department of justice. she also allegedly was not up front with donald trump, jr. to kat's point, when he saw who she was, where she came from and what she wanted to meet about, that should have been the stop sign. because she's from russia. it does matter. get dirt on your opponent, no question, but when you get it from and who you meet with certainly matters. >> i think loretta lynch and the obama justice department let her in. it seemed to be no problem with her. at the end of the day, president trump is right. as a political

look at loretta lynch. look at the tarmac controversy.ling james comey to change the language from investigation two matters, and now, we have this. or should she investigated? could she be guilty of treason? could president obama and a loretta lynch end up in jail? >> juan: wow. i will tell you, it is so interesting to me -- i mean, it is so interesting -- >> greg: i'm using the left-wing rhetoric. >> juan: the actual mood in the country today can we just had report coming from -- that said, the president's lawyers knew about this train of emails in three weeks ago but they didn't mention it, they didn't volunteer it. i wonder how that feeds into robert mueller's investigation in charge of -- and potential charge of the obstruction. i don't know. i invited if they get it out earlier on their own terms, if dana was here, i'm sure she would say, get it out early, put it on your terms -- >> greg: don't put words in dana's mouth. >> juan: what i'm listening to tonight's are fascinating. this is clearly distraction, diversion from reality. >>

she's been here and loretta lynch approved her to be here on a special parole. they are act being like she's put min's right hand woman. if that were the case, why would the obama administration wanted her here in the country? >> it is another important question, why is the attorney general giving the special imdpragz parole, a very rare waiver. and the perview of the homeland security secretary, it is stunning about how loretta lynch or why she was personally involved in this, don't you isn'ting >> yes, we need answers for. that lynch is in a lot of hot water and i argued to bring here in under oath. but she's already out there and needs to be brought in and desupposed about this matter aside well. >> lou: i want to turn to christopher ray talking about the independence of the fbi. whether it is gregg jared or any number of opportunities. why is this a supportered by james comey and christopher ray. the fbi is not an independent agency of any sort or kind. >> no tis one thing to say i am guided by law and not politics. comey inserted he was a quited of any kind

why isn't there a special prosecutor to look into not just comey's decision make and loretta lynch'slary clinton. melissa: i read your stuff and it's delicious and delightful but nobody ever goes to jail. gregg: i remember during watergate a lot of guys went to jail. melissa: please roll the video. two adventurers combining their love for tropical islands and their love for tropical fruit. watch as they jump out of a plane over a stunning caribbean island known as guadalupe. they play catch with a coconut while free flying at 120 miles per hour. that's crazy. the trump administration pushing for increased inspections at iranian military sites and threats from the rogue regime grow. i love to eat. i love hanging out with my friends. i have a great fit with my dentures. i love kiwis. i've always had that issue with the seeds getting under my denture. super poligrip free. it creates a seal of the dentures in my mouth. even well fitting dentures let in food particles just a few dabs of super poligrip free is clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and

at what loretta lynch did. she had a meeting with president clinton -- his wife will be interviewed that very weekend. she at this meeting with the president on the tarmac. does she recuse himself from this investigation? she says she will abide by whatever the fbi says but she did not recuse herself. think about this. you talk about a double standard at play here. this is the ultimate discussion or ultimate example of a double standard. look, at the end of the day, when you look at all of the evidence, there is one thing that becomes clear. no illegality in that meeting. the media can talk about it but show me the criminal statute that is actually met with that kind of situation. >> sean: jonathan turley, he agrees with you. he went on to say -- he's a george washington lawyer. he says everyone needs to calm down. >> i agree with him. >> sean: we wrap up the show with a smile. he gets the final word all of this week. >> here the democrats go again. trump colluded with russia. the russians hacked the election.

do you really want loretta lynch to come and deny everything?it's replaying the same thing over and over. >> abby: is is how we go about it or is this the demonstration that these people acted unjustly and now they're out of power? >> mercedes: you're seeing the domino effect. we started with a special counsel and the republicans feel and they feel frustrated because the focus is so much of a trump campaign of the russians, yet we don't even know if the democrats were involved in fusion gps and a dossier. if they were connected with the russians. i think republicans are fair to say, wait a second, we have a look at this other side and on the leaks from james comey and loretta lynch basically saying, let's look at this as a matter, not an investigation. >> abby: democrats have these investigations saying we need to get to the bottom of any wrongdoing. republican's have the right to do the same thing. to your point, geraldo, investigations don't win elections. we are talking about what drives people to the polls. we keep going back to this, it's g

it calls into question the integrity of loretta lynch but really?t guesswork here. the attorney general's office has said yes that the attorney attorney general has the power under a special act to give was called immigration parole and that in fact, that right he belongs to the attorney general. it can only be given by the attorney general pitt. as a matter fact her ability to stay longer to get to the issue was denied and the only way she was able to stay was because they asked by the attorney general that is almost like susan rice saying it was a youtube video. those are a parallel universe going on the keep in mind this lawyer has done a lot of work with democrats. she works with the man who founded fusion gps which is behind the widely condemned russian, so-called russian dossier on trump. she's with the democratic officeholders and democratic operative firms over history itself looks like she's a democratic operative which could explain opening the door for her. gerri: i'm starting to think that you go down to the starbucks to get a coffee and

some might say the same about loretta lynch and the folks before her. guest: the relationship between the justice department and the white house is always a fraught one. president kennedy appointed his brother to be attorney general over the united states, which did not go over very well. the lines appear to be drawn in this way. if you are talking about policy on immigration, decisions about prioritiesc, civil rights enforcement, for instance, or human trafficking, which this administration is concerned thingsdrug abuse, those are totally ok for the white house and the justice department to be discussing on an ongoing basis. but there is a line. the line is when you are talking about ongoing criminal prosecutions or investigations of lawmakers, public officials in states around the country, you are not supposed to be discussing those with people in the white house in a political context. host: let's hear from raymond in texas. a democrat. good morning. caller: how are you doing? good morning. i think mr. wray is a pretty good choice to be the fbi direc

loretta lynch and company and the hillary clinton campaign? will james comey had concerns about it, and he confronted a lynch, according to his testimony, about something else, we don't know exactly what it was, but she was so serious at it comey for bringing it up, that she threw him out of her office, so there is a lot more to be found there, we are still waiting for the documents on those meetings, we will get them hopefully by august 1st, there is more coming out on this, and i hope that she testifies in public about it, certainly this justice department's doesn't seem to want to look into anything related to the clinton obama accusations that we are talking about, they are just focused obsessively based on what, i am sure, on this fanciful idea of russian collusion. >> trish: what do you think is there? they have talked about what they think is there, in terms of the collusion with the russians, what do you think might be there in terms of loretta lynch and how the obama administration is trying to influence the election? >> well, the pro

the payoffs to the clinton -- what about attorney general loretta lin lynch.tructing comey to call the clinton investigation a matter. the list goes on. the indeference to the special counsel, and violations and conflicts. mueller was interviewed to replace comey as fbi director, a man he has known since at least 2003. president trump turned down mueller to have that job. does that look like a conflict of interest to you? the men have been described, comey and mueller, as quote, brothers in arms, mueller conflicts extent to his legal team of democratic donors, most of them, nearly half of them gave money to hillary clinton or president obama one staffer donating to both dems and republicans. that is only place that republicans show up for any money from that legal team. and as for rosenstein, deputy attorney general, the man who appointed somewhere counsel, after writing a letter recommending firing comey, he appears to be in denial of massive conflicts, which surround him. >> i made the decision to appoint director mueller based on his reputation, he had an e

look at what loretta lynch did. a meeting with president clinton -- the secretary of state will be interviewed that very weekend. she has this meeting with the president on the tarmac. does she recuse himself from mthis investigation? she says she will abide by whatever the fbi says but she did not recuse herself. think about this. you talk about a double standard at play here. this is the ultimate discussion or ultimate example of a double standard. look, at the end of the day, when you look at all of the evidence, there is one thing that becomes clear. no illegality in that meeting. the media can talk about it but show me the criminal statute that is actually met with that kind of situation. >> sean: jonathan turley, he agrees with you. he went on to say -- he's a george washington lawyer. he says everyone needs to calm down. >> i agree with him. >> sean: we wrap up the show with a smile. he gets the final word all of thisis week. take a little look at what you're getting next. >> here the democrats go again. trum

much the way they did in the comey firing and say loretta lynch asked to call it a matter notigation. it's not an argument meant to address the underlying concerns about the comey firing or the current donald trump jr. meeting. it's really an argument meant to provide a talking point taadvocates for the president on fox or rush or hannity. what it tells you goes along with what we are seeing, this is not a presidency that is designed in policy or style or strategy to reach 51% of the country. it is really about spoking and mobilizing what was 46% on election day and now probably somewhere closer to 40 or below. they don't feel they need to reach the viewers of much of the mainstream media because they are not trying to reach them in policy eerpthither. >> the president said on air force one on off the record conversation that became on the record that this is a witch hunt and that his voters don't care about this because they see it as a witch hunt, too. we are talking about the president's son revealed this earlier this week. how is that -- i don't understand. we have to go t

tell us about comey, will you also include loretta lynch and hillary clinton and ukraine and a uranium long list, sean, your viewers are looking at this and saying why did you allow loretta lynch to mislead the american public and allow director comey to actually collude with her in doing that? to say that it was a matter and not an investigation and so, not only will it go into all of those details but we are asking for documents. i would love to take credit for this but actually, this is a group of them have gotten together to put forth a resolution that says we want the document and indeed, they are filing another document that calls for a special prosecutor to say let's get to the bottom of it. if we are a nation of laws, we've got a special counsel for the whole russia event, let's go ahead and get to the bottom of it. i can tell you my constituents want us to look at that. >> sean: all of these things i've been talking about, during the election every day, talking about people in poverty, on food stamps come out of the labor force, can't buy homes. every day until congress does i

we heard james comey come out in his hearing and say that loretta lynch basically told them to call it a matter and nine investigation so there are republicans who want more answers to questions on that. most people of focus on the russia issue when it comes to jeff sessions. i don't think they will he or any republicans echoing that criticism we are hearing from donald trump for donald sessions. a lot of them think he did the right thing. obviously killing he had testified that he had no contact with russians when he was getting confirmed after being nominated to this position. then it came out that he actually have. this does not look good. want to make sure that the american people trust of the probe and that he was not interfering. a lot of republicans would save us the right thing to do but the president has a mind of his own. host: i want to get your thoughts on this from yesterday on cnn'sr al franken state of the union. he talked about the meeting with russian why he thinks jeff sessions could come back and said testify again. [video clip] >> it's clear and we are seeing now th

it is time to go justice department to go after the perps leak the clinton and loretta lynch and thosevert the government of the united states. >> that is not jeff sessions. >> lou: he has to do it. >> i agree with that. but jeff session size committed to that. and i want donald trump to put every lead on the target every day and focus on that. and not get slyped by this story. and in any interview that you give to the new york times, he has to know it will not work out to his advantage. >> i disagree with that. i think the president knew what he was doing. he didn't. to talk about health care and unfortunately mitch mccon excel paul ryan failed him and the american people. and sessions was a sis traction. >> i pray you are right and it was part of the plan. >> lou: we are short on time and we thank you. jim bourn andin wrote "pitun''''

i have questioned both loretta lynch and james comey under oath before the judiciary committee and here is what i learned, there were no notes taken in that interview, she was not sworn under oath, no audiotape, no video tape and they won't release the names of the individuals that did the interviews, but it wasn't comey and wasn't loretta lynch. >> i hear you. you're concerned about this. i get it. are you concerned that don junior wanted to get information from what he believed was a high-level russian connected to the russian government? >> i think he was looking for information that would help his father's campaign. if we're going to outlaw dialogue like this, then we have to outlaw negative campaigns in their entirety. this goes on on both sides constantly. this was a tiny little thread of information that went nowhere. he did seem overly eager. he should have had a firewall. today he'll have a firewall in place. he was a businessman at that day. he had very little campaign experience. >> you chalk this up to naivete? >> i don't know i would call it knee eve. you can't accuse someb
