reviewing 275 text messages with fbi agent peter struck and lisa paige. in which struck called then candidate trump an idiot and paige responded he is awful. and then when trump is near clinching the nomination, paige texted holy -- cruz dropped out of the race and it's a clinton trump race unbelievable. a month later struck referred to the bigoted nonsense of trump. >> this is not just political opinions, this is disgusting unaccountable bias. >> peter struck did not say anything about donald trump that the majority of americans were not also thinking at the same time. >> democrats say there was no evidence that the political views affected the investigation and according to mueller's spokesman struck was removed from mueller's team upon learning of the text messages and paige as won't on the team for a brief period. >> when we have evidence of inappropriate conduct we take action and that is what mr. mueller did when he learned about the issue, he took action. >> rosenstein says he sees no good cause to fire mueller and attorney general, jeff sessions i

attorney lisa paige according to the "new york times" and "washington post," which first reported the stories. the agent is also under investigation by the department of justice inspector general for his role in hillary clinton's email server and ongoing investigation into russia's election meddling. on saturday, devin nunes, chided the justice department and f.b.i. for not disclosing why the agent had not been removed from the special counsel a few months ago. the former u.s. intelligence official told this reporter quote, with the recent revelation that the agent was removed from the special counsel investigation, it seems likely that the accuracy and veer asity the 302 flynn's interview should be reviewed and called into question. w the 302 is section 302 report summary by the f.b.i. agent of what was said by the witness. so we have a biased witness at the f.b.i. that's not recording what mike flynn said word-for-word. he is writing down in his notes is biased, skewed opinion of what mike flynn said. we know it's biased, it's skewed . and since mike flynn worked faithfully for so m

reports are that he is going to be subpoenaed to testify along again with lisa paige, who of course isaramore of peter strzok. both of them are going to be returning because we don't know if he is already given any testimony, correct? >> that's correct. we don't want to jump the gun here. we only have bits and pieces of information. there's a lot of information that was done classified or behind closed doors that hasn't been released publicly yet. i know they will want to talk to lisa page. that's very important. remember she was having the affair with peter strzok, i've heard many things about jim. i've also heard that he could easily be promoted to deputy director. he is somebody to replace andrew mccabe. >> laura: the question is why is andrew mccabe still in this position at all? most everyone i know who has any credibility thinks he should have stepped down quite a long time ago sara carter, great to see you. have fun in the sun in phoenix. >> thank you so much. >> laura: i have a question here, by the way. how far was president obama willing to go to appease iran and make a deal

exhibit a is a series of text messages sent by fbi agent peter strzok and lisa paige disparaging candidatethey refer to him as a, quote, idiot using words as well we won't say on tv while fearing that his potential victory would be, quote, terrifying. early this month, however, we learned that special counsel robert mueller had strzok removed from his team after an investigation by the inspector general. the president, as you know, has been going after the mueller probe from a number of other directions and has recently singled out one other official in tweet after tweet. how can fbi deputy director, andrew mccabe, the man in charge along with leaking james comey of the hillary clinton investigation be given $700,000 for wife's campaign by clinton puppets during investigation? this particular tweet stands out for many reasons. first of all, mccabe's wife, jill, got the campaign donation for a virginia senate race from a pac for virginia governor terry mcauliffe in 2015. she lost. it was not until three months later that andrew mccabe became the fbi's deputy director. and that was the first

it was discovered that he was sending anti-trump text messages to his girlfriend, a woman named lisa paigeshe worked as a top fbi lawyer under deputy director andrew mccabe. since then, fox news has learned that the office of inspector general is now reviewing peter strzok's role in the clinton email server investigation and from what we know, strzok, who was an anti-trump, hillary clinton-loving fbi official, was intimately involved in investigating hillary clinton's use of a private email server. now just stop for a second. think about james comey. he was writing an exoneration before an investigation. our own catherine herridge is reporting that strzok was on the ground floor of that clinton email server investigation. this is crucial. that includes participating in the july 2nd, 2016 interview of the former secretary of state. also remember, she was not under oath, and strzok was involved in recommending whether or not hillary clinton should be prosecuted. remember, they hadn't fully investigated. and fox news has confirmed that the fbi official actuallyy was the one that changed the l

text messages between peter strzok and lisa paige, his girlfriend. of the investigation continues. kimberly, where are we? >> they're apparently handling those over because devin nunes finally got very snarly. they have been asking for those texts -- they issued a subpoena back more than a month ago demanding all kinds of documents that would have included those text messages. they had specifically asked to speak to mr. strzok and been denied. i think that's one of the more important parts of this story, which is that mueller and the department of justice knew what the house intelligence committee wanted, and purposely did not hand it over because they knew the headlines were going to come out that this somehow would impugn the integrity of what they're doing over there. >> yeah, it was interesting listening to newt gingrich there. that's what hillary supporters were saying during the campaign. they felt like the fbi cost her the election because she was treated differently. i think as this goes forward, i think it would be extremely significant if i

department released some 375 text messages between former robert mueller investigator peter strzok and lisa paige, the senior fbi lawyer. here's how fox news reported that story. >> shannon, fox news just obtained those 10,000 text messages of strzok and paige and this is a big deal. >> wow. they just obtained the 10,000 text messages. fox news only off by about 9,600 text messages. and they have not actually issued a correction about that lie. the text messages were between a fbi investigator and a senior white house lawyer. they both worked on robert mueller investigative team. as soon as robert mueller discovered the existence of the text, he separated the fbi investigator from the team. the lawyer had already left the team. the existence of these text messages is what republicans are now using to condemn everyone working on the mueller investigation including every fbi agent and by the sound of it every fbi agent in the country. the text messages were written during the presidential campaign. they included sentiments shared by the majority of americans. like, quote, i am worried about what tr

everything you have laid out about strzok, lisa paige's s girlfriend, weissmann, the sally yates emaillong, praising her for defining her boss. this is what what is so distur. you have laid out the perfect case why they should not be on this team. >> sean: how else do you explain, the fbi can interview huma abedin and cheryl mills, and even though they lied and the documents, they were not charged with lying to the fbi. >> flynn was because he deviated fractionally from the tape-recorded conversation the fbi obtained of his discussion with the russian ambassador. illegally. that just underscores the rampant corruption here by theo government. >> can i add to that? yeah, let me add to this. not only, they have him, they are using him obviously, flipping him, as a witness, which we all know is coming to do, but this is a man who now has lied to the vice president, they are saying he's lying to the fbi and they are using his son, hanging his son over his head, to enforce him to be a witness. >> sean: tell us what we want to hear or he may have to go after your son. it's extortion. it's br

he's exchanging text messages with his girlfriend, lisa paige, which just trashed the president. they call him an idiot, and you know, that language we've put up on screen was the mile esmildes. but essentially, the two of them, the lawyer and the agent agreed that the president is a threat or would be a threat to the president if elected. now, he's in a central role in the hillary e-mail investigation. and as a matter of fact, strzok was the person who went to james comey, just before comey had that famous press conference, where he kind of let hillary off the hook and said, the investigation is going to be dropped into criminal charges. strzok was the guy who changed the language, which originally was that she was grossly negligent in her handling of classified material. and he softened it to say, extremely careless, which is not criminal. this is the same guy who the inspector general now has exchanging these e-mails, you know, showing that he has a personal bias against the president. so that's what senator grassley wants a close look at. and i think it's legitimate to look a

peter and lisa paige who worked on robert mueller's russia probe.that the agents exchanging in a steady stream of antitrump feelings calling trump an idiot and even discussing how to quote protect the country from that menace. here with me now to discuss, congressman matt gates, a member of both the budget and judiciary committees. you've been a busy guy here in the last couple days, sir. so thanks for coming on. it was really remarkable because you had over a course of a few hours a tale of two separate hearings. democrats blocking and not critical at all. republicans wanting to understand how you can have a clean investigation when the key components of that investigation have this much disdain for president trump. >> well, you're absolutely right, charles. more than half of the people that are palpating in the mueller investigation do nade to either president obama, hillary clinton, or both. none of them donated to donald trump. that means only one of two things is possible. either bob mueller was out recruiting people with an antitrump bias to p

all i know is the texts message from peter strzok to lisa paige points to that being what looks likeook place. >> why then did he come out again and reopen the investigation of hillary clinton's e-mails and never even tell us before the election about the investigation into alleged trump collusion? it if he was trying to keep donald trump from getting elected, don't you think he might tell voters that? >> we'll have to find out. >> watch the whole exchange about 20 minutes long on-line. joining me now republican senator of mississippi, roger wicker. nice to have you. thanks for being here, sir. >> glad to be with you. >> what do you make of asergsz like that, what we heard from representative jim jordan last night, republican colleagues of yours in congress making assertions like this, not based in fact that we see, is it responsible? >> i haven't heard much talk about it, but i have to agree with jim jordan. we'll see. the questions will be asked and a lot of information comes out when people start poking around. >> so you're okay with congressman jim jordan and others making assert

first, we have fbi agent peter struck and fbi lawyer lisa paige, exchanging information showing extreme bias against mr. trump. a fact that would be bad enough if not for the fact that these two individuals were employed as part of the mueller dream team, investigating the very person for whom they were showing disdain. and calling it mere disdain is generous. according to the documents produced last night to this committee, mr. struck refer to the president as a loathsome human and awful while continually praising hillary clinton and the obamas. these text messages prove what we all suspected. high-ranking fbi officials involved in the clinton investigation were personally invested in the outcome of the election and clearly let their strong, political opinions cloud their professional judgment. and this was only an initial disclosure containing heavy redactions. second, former embattled fbi general counsel and current mueller prosecutor, andrew weismann, expressed his awe of a former doj official for shunning the president and failing to faithfully execute the law. however, we are now

this is from lisa paige the girl. god trump is a loathesome human. then he says yet he might win.e many win which i guess means he might win. then he says good for hillary. omg, he's an idiot. god, hillary should win. 100 million to zero. >> that was the day after the republic can debate here on fox. here is another one from august the 6th. i will tell you what we will do, ainsley. you play page and i will pay strzok, okay? guilty. ainsley: maybe you are meant to stay where you are because you are meant to protect the country from that menace. steve: thanks. it's absolutely true that we are both very fortunate and, of course i will try and approach it just that way. i just know it will be tough at times. can i protect our country at many levels, not sure if that helps. ainsley: that is so shady. i understanding they are allowed to have their political opinions, they're dating and sending their opinions back and forth. but when she says i'm so glad you are a part of this investigation because it's your job to save our country and he says yes, i'm so fortunate i'm a part of this inv

again but the pushback then is as soon as they found out they were exchanging text messages but lisa paigeonths ago the day he found out he did something about it but i don't know if that will fly. eric: some people say it is not fair. >> it is a data point that is part of the strategy on what he is doing and what direction this is going and certainly an effort by trump and his allies because they feel they have no chance -- no choice down the road. eric: but that raises a lot of questions with the e-mails. i want to believe that the path that you throughout that there is no way trump gets elected i am afraid we cannot take that risk. in the unlikely event. i will read that again i want to believe the path for consideration so first of all what is the path? i am afraid we cannot take that risk against that insurance policy. so what is the path or the insurance policy? what are they cooking up? >> this is why i am equally offended. and to get the answers to these questions i don't know what they are cooking up but there was a feeling in the fbi that they would not win because they felt he w

e-mails were exchanged between fbi agent peter strzok and a leader lisa paige, the two were romantically involved. most were exchanged before either party secured the nominee. many were harshly critical of donald trump. one reads, god, trump is a loathsome human. on july 14, strzok wrote about trump, it's clear, he's capturing all the white, poor voters, who the main stream republicans abandoned in the name for the almighty dollar. they shared pro clinton views, strzok telling paige, god, hillary should win 100 million to nothing after clinton was nominated, he wrote, can grats on a woman nominated for a president in a major party about dam time. when trump announced jeff sessions for attorney general. strzok said sessions for ag. to which paige responded, good govmd when mueller learned of the e-mails, he removed strzok from the team. the justice department inspector general is now looking into the fbi act's role into the hillary clinton e-mail case. so he is already under investigation. as for appointing another special council, that would have to be to investigate a crime. hoda, savan

agent who had name has been rought us, lisa paircrafts ooh oh -- paige, she was off the team light.this came to host: members of congress concluding representative jordan about mr. strock, and larger issues concerning the play what on, we'll he had to say and get your take on it. strock, selected to be on mueller's team, after mueller's team and removed for some pro-clinton text messages. there are all kinds of people on the team who are pro-clinton. said contributions obama. clinton or secretary clinton was interviewed, changed term to carelessness, ran the russian investigation, flynn, put on ke mueller's team and kicked off for a text message that is anti-trump. off kicked everybody mueller's team who is anti-trump, i don't think there ould be anybody left there has to be something more here, can't show e text messages that anti-trump bias, there has to be something more. i'm trying to figure out what it is, my hunch is it has something dosier.th the did peter strock produce and to the fiza cation americans y on associated with the trump campaign? >> i'm not prepared to discuss anyth

finally combing through all those text messages that peter strzok sent to his alleged mistress lisa paige a top fbi agent investigating the russia collusion case and investigating hillary clinton's email. we are all asking what did mueller know? what did his boss know? pete: and when did he know? it. ainsley: peter strzok was demoted in july. all of these months have gone by and we are just finding out about his demotion through leaks. steve: chris wray is going to be in the hot seat. he is the fbi director right now. people want to know directly. you know, it looks to many as if there is a political bias ahead of the fbi with the senior management there. when you look at the 10,000 emails exchanged by peter strzok who is one of the lead investigators on all sorts of things like russia and hillary clinton. to his girl friend who was a lawyer on the special counsel you wonder what is going on there. ainsley: anti-trump text messages and pro-hillary text messages. i read an article about some of the congressman are saying how can you put someone who is in her fan club as the head of the inv

we have fbi agent peter struck and lawyer lisa paige exchanging communications, showing extreme bias against president trump, affect that would be bad enough if it were not for the fact that these two individuals were part of the mueller dream team, investigating the very person for whom they were showing disdain and calling it mere disdain is generous. according to the documents produced last night, mr. struck and ms. page rep. hurd: -- ms. paige referred to the president as an utter idiot, while praising hillary clinton and the obamas. expected,udes that we high ranking fbi officials involved in the clinton investigation were personally invested in the outcome of the election and clearly let their strong political opinions cloud their professional judgment. this was only an initial disclosure containing heavy reductions. second, former embattled fbi general counsel and current mueller prosecutors andrew of aman expressed his awe former doj official for shunning the president and failing to faithfully execute the law. however, we are the ones now in awe that someone like mr. wiseman

we learned about peter strzok and his girlfriend who was having the affair with, extramarital, lisa paige i saw this morning have you jeannie rhee who joined the counselor''s team. she sunday scrutiny. she used to the work at the clinton foundation. also a partner at a law firm where she represented ben rhodes former obama national security person. pete: that's right. steve: when you take a look and yesterday the director was very clear, we're looking to see if there is bias. and we'll let you know. because the inspector general is going to do that. it looks to us like there is when you just look at all those names and what eventually happened in the runup to the election. dan bongino says, look. this fbi investigation and he is a former law man, is a scam. >> i'm really terrified right now. i know that may sound hyperbowl lick to some of the democrats listening. i mean it, as a former federal agent who has been both inside the white house and the federal government, do you realize out awesome power the federal government has? it's so powerful that the citinciting president, most powerful

instruction said is that there was a meeting in andrew mccabe's office during the campaign with lisa paiget went and there is no way. it struck text page after the meeting says i wish i could have that confidence but we, meaning the fbi, can't take the risk of trump been elected and we need an insurance policy. the question is what was the fbi doing project itself in the campaign so what we have been asking for is the genesis of the russian investigation particularly this dossier was funded by the democratic party via fusion gps and customer steel and how did that come to the fbi's position in did the fbi pay steel for the dossier and did the fbi use any of the information in order to get a surveillance warrant on anyone associated with president electron. those are all questions that the american people has a right to but when christopher ray testifies before the judiciary committee two weeks ago he would not answer it. rod rosenstein, the past, would not answer it. this is the last week where it's crunch time and if you're not getting those basic answers then congress will have to ask. e
