and now suddenly i'm guessing rod rosenstein or andy mccabe are the chief suspects here. i'm half kidding. given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president, but no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis so we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until one way or another, it's over. there is a consistent story that comes out of this administration, george. >> there is, but people -- even experienced people in the deep or perhaps it's the shallow state shoot off their mouths at the end of the day or under pressure. and the 25th amendment can come up. no one took that seriously in that meeting. these are not children, and they know that this was written for something like woodrow wilson strokes. we don't remove a president because he's a dope. >> it's not the american way and it certainly would come across as an odd thing to many voters. >> yeah. but with the president, the w , president, if he does fire

one of the people that was especially frustrated is andy mccabe.ne of the interesting kind of things still going on today is to some extent the war between andy mccabe and rod rosenstein that was very much happening in that meeting has never ended. andy mccabe is being investigated by the u.s. attorney's office in d.c. right now for false statements, he's been fired by the justice department. if you look at, you know, the way he's been handling himself, i do think that he has been trying to tell a story. i'm not speculating who michael's sources are. i suspect there were a lot of people in the room. andy's very much been trying to paint a picture of himself as someone who was fired, retaliated against for political reasons to try to make any kind of indictment as painful a choice as possible for rod rosenstein in the justice department and any trial. >> you're hitting on something very significant, people may remember that mccabe stepped up to replace comey as acting fbi director. he had a reportedly fight with donald trump over the phone immediate

>> the first guy that bruce ohr talks to after he meets with christopher steele is andy mccabe. called him up and then meets with him an page. all of the key people at the fbi knew what was going on before they take the dossier to the court. they knew ohr's involvement. they knew who paid for the dossier, and they knew the guy who wrote it, christopher steele, had told bruce ohr that he was desperate to stop trump. we don't believe they conveyed any of that critical

>> the first guy that bruce ohr talks to after he meets with christopher steele is andy mccabe. called him up and then meets with him an page. all of the key people at the fbi knew what was going on before they take the dossier to the court. they knew ohr's involvement. they knew the guy who wrote it, christopher steele, had told bruce ohr that was desperate to stop trump. we don't believe they conveyed any of that critical information

there are a lot of people in the justice department sort of pro-andy mccabe world around the justicei who really don't like rod rosenstein, who they understand to be, you know, at least partly responsible for the firing of andy mccabe, and so my assumption is you're talking about a universe of people not in the white house actually but in doj or fbi who are interested in sort of helping andy mccabe at rod rosenstein's spenexpenset more specifically than that, i can't discern. >> many people can't discern. as we have been watching the developments as of late, there's been multiple sourcing for a lot of the reports that we have been discussing. i wanted to also while we have you here, jack, get your reflection on the reversal on release of certain classified documents. i met with the doj concerning declassification of various unredacted documents, this is what the president said. they agreed to release them, they may have a perceived negative impact on the russia probe. goes on to say more in this reversal explanation. so jack, what do you think happened. who is the fail-safe, what sto

around him are probably telling him right now as we speak they're probably telling him don't believe andy mccabee has an ax to grind because rod rosenstein -- and rod rosenstein's statement is calculated in a way. i think you pointed it exactly the right, it's written in the present tense and that's rod rosenstein's way of speaking directly to the president. saying, mr. president, i don't think that you're incapable of handling this job. so that's his way of sort of making sure that he stays in this job. we cannot, you know, overstate how important he is to the completion of this investigation because, you know, when mueller is finished with his work it's going to go to rod rosenstein. before congress gets a chance to see anything it's going to go through rod rosenstein. so i think that's why it's so crucial for rod rosenstein to not get fired in the next few weeks and i think people around the president are going to be trying to make sure that he hears that and he understands that, that you can't do it certainly not yet. wait until mueller is finished and then everyone expects that both rosenst

he has frankly been mean to andy mccabe. mccabe's lawyer issued a statement.e says when he was interviewed by special counsel more than a year ago, he gave all memos, classified and unclassified, to the special counsel's office. a set of the memos remained at the time of his department in late 2018. he has no knowledge of how any member of the media obtained the memos. i think that's a signal from andy mccabe's camp that they're trying to say they're not the source of the story. again, this means that the president has to decide who does he believe, andy mccabe, the guy he called a liar, or rod rosenstein who he has to deal with every day. >> mccabe's statement, there's no denial of the sub tantive facts, just the denial they were the source of this. >> right. >> what do you think, jeffrey? does the president have a good case based on this to fire rosenstein? >> if he wants to, he certainly does. you know, he has obviously been unhappy with rod rosenstein just as he's unhappy with jeff sessions. the question is, does he want to take the political heat if he do

if it's a question of deciding between rod rosenstein and andy mccabe, who are you going to believe? 's not a great choice, admittedly. but it's also not a close call. mccabe was fired from the f.b.i. for leaking and then lying about it.. federal prosecutors are looking now at the evidence. mccabe could soon be indicted for that. he has every incentive to want to see the president impeached. how could he get the president impeached. he might start leaking this story to a reporter called adam goldman at the "new york times." a reporter whom his coworkers believe he has been looking to for a long time. he would do that knowing that story might cause the president to fire rod rosenstein. democrats have long argued firing rosenstein would constitute obstruction of justice, an impeachable offense.ng come november assuming they take the house, the democrats would be in a position to file impeachment charges. even if they don't impeach, the story would doubtless drive the president crazy and cause division in the white house. perfect. a stick placed in trump's path. is that what happened? we

do you think andy mccabe is the source? gregg: i do.ein spent months trying to keep those memos secret. he has been trying to cover up incriminating evidence of his own wrongdoing. so this does have the ring of truth. and it's also very consistent with the malfeasance and pernicious conduct of people like not just rosenstein, but comey, lisa page, peter strzok, all of them who were engaged in his elicit scheme to frame donald trump. they conjured out of thin air collusion with the russians to win the election, and they knew it was based on a fabricated document that they explain. lou: i get a kick out of reading the "new york times" piece. apparently rosenstein asked other fbi department of justice officials whether or not he should -- this is less than a week after comey had been fired -- asking whether he should call comey for some advice on how to handle the special counsel origination. your reaction? chris: again, another disqualifying conflicted act. this so fa a threat particular and fmp this is so pathetic. and it's a damning ins

it washan context and you have to realize that andy mccabe was fir by rod rosenstein, eslly, and may, in fact, face ramifications for tt. there's an issue of whether he ded to the f.b.i. there's a bookl involved. we don't know about the motivations there. robert: "the times" ss based on reporting about memos about these discussions from 2017.e andrew mccas fired from the f.b.i. and a report found him to haveak improper action so now you have andy mccabe, with tensns with rod rosenstein, current attorney general, who oversees the russia probe. you brought up about the fferent people in the administration who are, you think back to the woodward book, "fear," the "new york times" op-ed, is t asn administrative coup d'etat to use woodward's phrase, that is being painted by these stories? nancy: it felt like that, when you read the story today, like someone thought it was time to build a case to get rid of rodin rosensnd started talking. you have seen a big shift among republicanin their comfort vel with the president perhaps replacing jeff sessions so the quesyon is would t have that same

they both don't trust andy mccabe, you believe. >> absolutely.s fired for lying to the fbi. is he currently under criminal investigation for lying to the fbi. and it would not be shocking in the next couple of weeks or months if is he indicted for lying to the fbi. at the time that comey was fired, the investigation goes to andy mccabe. if andy mccabe is in there talking about investigating the president and is trying to get rod to investigate the president, it makes sense that the most logical thing to do is to appoint special counsel to get the investigation as far away from a compromise and dishonest andy mccabe as possible. brian: did i see rod rosenstein at an event where the president was at. he came up to me and said hello, he said don't believe what you read and what you hear. you be backing up what he said to me. ian prior thanks so much. >> the remains of a fallen american hero are back home from north korea and they have now been identified ending a 70 year wait for one family after getting his dog tags. the sons of that hero will join

the andy mccabe, lisa page at the fbi, huddling about what's happening at the white house. oserosenstein. you're now saying, wait a second, it was largely because mccabe in this meeting made clear to rosenstein that he had an ax to grind and was going to go after the president at the fbi. >> absolutely. now let's remember, just a week before rosenstein had a pretty big part in the firing of james comey who was mccabe's boz and besbossand best friend. you have mccabe lying to the fbi which he later was fired for and now under criminal investigation. you have a grand jury sitting in washington, d.c. right now considering charges against andy mccabe. he is the last person that should be trusted on this issue. >> do you think he leaked the story to the "the new york times" to make rosenstein look bad and provoke the president into firing rosenstein which is what corey lewandowski and the others want the president to do. >> i saw sean hannity mention this on friday night. and he's spot on. i don't know if andy mccabe himself would have leaked it but somebody on team mccabe is try

the other problem is the doj is prosecuting andy mccabe and they do not want to mess that up. a source close to mccabe insists that he did not do it. that's something that doj has a hard time believing right now. >> bret: the white house whether they are going to put something out or not? >> it sounds like there's not a rush for them to do that right now. there's a lot here and they try to make sure that they have all of the facts before they make a decision. >> bret: as always, thank you. right now waiting to learn whether there will be a senate hearing next week over a sexual assault allegation against the president's supreme court nominee. remember that story? still developing at this hour. negotiations are said to be ongoing with the lawyer for the accuser. this morning's original deadline of 10:00 a.m. has become the end of the day today, 10:00 p.m. she has agreed to talk under a pretty unusual conditions. president trump is calling out christie and blahs ford by name for the first time. where things stands at this moment. good evening, mike. >> a senior republican source

do you think andy mccabe is the source? gregg: i do.enstein spent months trying to keep those memos secret. he has been trying to cover up incriminating evidence of his own wrongdoing. so this does have the ring of truth. and it's also very consistent with the malfeasance and pernicious conduct of people like not just rosenstein, but comey, lisa page, peter strzok, all of them who were engaged in his elicit scheme to frame donald trump. they conjured out of thin air collusion with the russians to win the election, and they knew it was based on a fabricated document that they explain. lou: i get a kick out of reading the "new york times" piece. apparently rosenstein asked other fbi department of justice officials whether or not he should -- this is less than a week after comey had been fired -- asking whether he should call comey for some advice on how to handle the special counsel origination. your reaction? chris: again, another disqualifying conflicted act. this so fa a threat particular and fmp this is so pathetic. and it's a damning

if you're going to stop the credibility of rod rosenstein against andy mccabe who was fired for lying i'll go with rod rosenstein. >> speaker ryan's comments well, upsetting a lot of the folks in the house republican conference. his colleagues looking to impeach rosenstein, if he fails to publicly testify about a new york times report that said he wanted to secretly tape the president, or a wire as he offered, perhaps rhetorically. we will find out. congressman mark meadows, other freedom caucus congressman currently meeting with republican leaders about how to handle rosenstein. earlier today, meadows said this quote - we will not allow speaker ryan to punt to the white house on rosenstein. we will have an answer one way or another. today. joining us now, chris farrell, director investigations for judicial watch. great to have you with us. the president making it very clear, his preference is to keep rosenstein right where he is. even though there is great speculation, for days had surrounded rosenstein 's future per the president clearing that up at least in terms of his current pre

he doesn't trust andy mccabe and that was the source of this information from his memos.hat was a lot of the confusion there and we have seen the relationship between president trump and rod rosenstein change. it went from back in april, he was still publicly considering firing rod rosenstein. he was mentioning it with him multiple times a day to anyone who would listen. then the president stopped saying he had the conflicts of interest and a lot of people said he knew he was going to be the person making a decision about what to do with the mueller report when it came out. it changed a little bit. the president went from telling people rod rosenstein is no friend of mine. over the weekend, he was much more focussed on kavanaugh. that's not what people were expecting. >> we are trying to get the details of what played out. meeting with john kelly and talking about resignation or possible fire something we are still trying to get the details. what a resignation could mean for the future of robert mueller's special counsel's investigation. this place isn't for me. that last

of course andy mccabe in the eyes of those same house republicans couldn't tell the truth if his life it. so we're in really strange territory right now. >> also believing in anonymous sources in the new york times. that's where we are right now. great to see you both. thanks so much. let's see what comes tomorrow. i'm sure it will be different. out front next, it's neck in neck in kentucky for a house seat in a district republican congressman once owned now he can lose to a first-time canadia candidate. >> and standing by her husband, who is ashley kavanaugh? now get even more out of your appliances. get up to 30% off top brands at sears. ♪ plus get an extra 15% off kenmore laundry. visit sears.com/kenmore to see how you can get more from kenmore at sears. you shouldn't be rushed into booking a hotel. with expedia's add-on advantage, booking a flight unlocks discounts on select hotels until the day you leave for your trip. add-on advantage. only when you book with expedia. little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats moder

in fact, rosenstein ordered the firing of andy mccabe, and andy mccabe is now also under a criminal investigationating to statements that he made to investigators about various events at the fbi. so there is some thinking in the trump camp and in the justice department camp that this is some kind of a plot to try to provoke some sort of chaos that perhaps if an inferno ensues, some people might be able to escape under those circumstances. that's what i think may be fueling the kinds of comments that you heard from sean hannity tonight. i think perhaps a more organic reaction from the trump folks is that they would be delighted to see rod rosenstein leave because somehow that would bring an end to the mueller investigation. >> jonathan, serious question. the president's choice of weekend venues bedminster, new jersey, does it presume or predict any type of behavior? >> not necessarily. i would say it's a place where he's very comfortable where he often brings close allies and advisers in to talk to him, a place where he's made a lot of decisions before. but he was planning to be in bedminster long

of this department of justice is going to follow the same process that they did when they fired andy mccabeeter strzok. they will let the inspector general continue his investigation, submit a report. if that report shows that bruce ohr broke the law or broke department policy, i suspect he will suffer the same fate as peter strzok and andy mccabe. jon: garrett tenney has more on all of this. >> president trump continues to go after the fbi and his own justice department for what he sees as political bias. today the president criticized the foreign intelligence surveillance courts which approved the bure reece warrants to surveil -- bureau's warrants to surveil his campaign. the tweet ended you have got corruption at the doj and fbi, the leadership of the doj and fbi are completely out to lunch in terms of exposing and holding those accountable responsible for the corruption. after several weeks of blasting his attorney general and raising speculation he may be fired on thursday the president said sessions won't be fired before the midterm elections but a few hours later at a campaign rally

andy mccabe has said that "the new york times" report that there was an attempt on the part of rosenstein to record conversations of the president. something that rosenstein denies. what do you make of the dust-up there and whether it went to the full effect of even invoking the 25th amendment? >> the problem of course is that there is no relationship here. president trump is highly antagonistic towards rosenstein and attorney general jeff sessions. this does not help that relationship. the most important question is whether this is going to be the straw that breaks that camel's back, whether the president is not going to wait for the mid-term elections and say look, i can't have the second in command of the justice department suggesting to others that he might tape me secretly, which would violate a host of national security rules and protocols. now, he obviously denies it. there's the other reports that he might have been joking. joking about recording the president or having him forcefully removed doesn't help your relationship either. you're now in charge of the special counsel invest

he calls andy mccabe, meets with andy mccabe a few days later, and a few days later he meets with petertrzok. remember, all of them have an issue with trump or clinton, there is no doubt about it. we thought the steel dossier had gone into normal channels. we now know that ohr reeled it in. >> sean: what about the fact that they gave us information to robert mueller's office? steele writing ohr and all of the messages back and forth. did you get it to your friend? oh, we hope the firewalls hold. >> i was going to say, hope of the firewalls hold, they did not hold, and they were panicking about that. look what happened with andrew weissmann. we know for a fact that a ohr was in communication with wiseman. he was basically passing information or trying to pass information to robert mueller's office. i think the investigation, the scope of this investigation is going to get so much wider. now that mccabe is under a grand jury investigation, imagine what they are going to find. we have spent years just trying to peel back the layers of this onion, and now we finally discover all of these co

some people think that would have benefited andy mccabe.f disdprunltled people at the fbi that would love to see rosenstein lose his job. >> so there might be some credence that this was an effort, not from pro-trump forces but to bait president trump into a giant mistake? >> right. who knows what or wouldn't be a mistake? but some people feel it was deliberate to get president trump to move forward with firing rosenstein, which might have benefits for different people who play different roles in this saga at this point. >> josh, always measured. we appreciate your insights tonight. >> okay, take care. >>> more on the timing of the rosenstein meeting when we're back in 30 seconds. nstein meeti back in 30 seconds it's kind of like playing your own version of best ball. because here, you can choose any car in the aisle, even if it's a better car class than the one you reserved. so no matter what, you're guaranteed to have a perfect drive. [laughter] (vo) go national. go like a pro. see what i did there? >>> continuing our coverage, rod rosens

but i would say this, if you are going to stack the credibility of rod rosenstein against andy mccabe for lying he will go with rod rosenstein. >> i saw congressman mark meadows. one of the republicans leading the call for rosenstein to publicly testify and i asked him to respond to the comments last hour by the speaker. he told us that he will quote not allow the speaker to punt to the white house and they will get an answer one way or another today on whether the speaker will support them or whether they have to move on without him. i took that to mean moving on with sanctioning rosenstein here on the hill. >> bill: more to come. thank you from the hill. seven minutes past. >> president trump: we're denuclearizing north korea, we have a wonderful relationship between our country and them. being helped a lot by japan and very much by president moon of south korea and north korea is going along very well. we really have made a tremendous amount of progress since this time last year. >> sandra: president trump touting breakthroughs made with north korea before chairing the u.n. securit

was andy mccabe in a meeting?im jong un 6, who was in a meeting? we need him on capitol hill answering questions about that meeting and other issues. >> you were speaking to supporters yesterday and you said if you became speaker of the house next go around you would get rid of obamacare and promised to build the border wall. the president has controlled the republican party, controls both chambers of congress and these key agenda items the president oness, they are not in a hurry to give them to us. >> report things to keep the majority because then the democrats are clear what they will do, raise your taxes, socialized medicine, impeach the president of the united states even though he has an amazing record of getting things done but the single biggest promise we made the american people in 2016, building the border security wallace haven't got it done. we have to focus on getting that done. it comes down to political will. to have the will to fight, have a showdown, have a national debate we have to have in con

andy is a reference to then deputy director andrew mccabe, who temporarily took over for comey. page replied we need to lock in redacted in a formal chargeable way soon. in his public testimony, strzok did not clarify the text, sending a connection to mueller's work. >> consistent with the department's policy on ongoing investigations, i'm not authorized to discuss ongoing investigations. reporter: the former fbi official strzok and page did not respond to requests for comment. tonight there is no public timeline for the release of the russia records. in the last few minutes, we have gotten new information from a source who is familiar with the timing. they told fox news they expect some records to be released within days or sooner, specifically the fisa application records and bruce ohr302s. they expect text messages from the other fbi officials to come somewhat later just because of the sheer volume involved. lou: the sheer volume and of course, it is a direct, a direct order by the president of the united states to the dni, to the department of justice and fbi. they look to m

he might very well have said sarcastically to andy mccabe, who the conversation was happening with, andywhat are you saying? you want me to put a wire on to interview the president? and it was intended as sarcasm. for whatever reason it appears that mccabe wrote it down as if verbatim. now, i do not fault "the times." i believe that they are accurately reporting what's in those memos. i know the fact checking that "the times" does. it's extensive. however, i do agree with michael. i think that probably mccabe may have had a motive to malign rod. mccabe is in a fight with the department of justice looking at possible charges. so you have to take those memos with a grain of salt. the facts are there. it's the spin that is up for grabs. >> yeah, except aiit's a sourcef another source saying it's in the memo as opposed to being reported that that person actually saw the memos and is reporting on what was seen in the memos. so given that, michael, you've heard the drum beating now about whether trump would use this in which to fire rosenstein. but what would be the potential fallout, particul

if you recall the memos of andy mccabe went to the mueller team back in may and now suddenly we are reading in this report that that information is leaked and in the body of these memos would be rosenstein commandeering this overthrow. how does this impact the mueller team at all? >> let's go back. unless i'm mistaken so we can keep facts as facts, rod rosenstein is not the head of the fbi. he is deputy attorney general. two separate bureaus and branches of government. also, by the way, this all involves trump firing the head of the fbi which bay the way, was something rosenstein apparently supported and thought the way trump went about it was problematic and what was a private memo. if we are looking for people who are supposedly trying to take down the trump administration, you wouldn't think they are trump's a pointes supporting him with memos and i find it incredibly fascinating that we're debating the veracity of person people's defenses of themselves and now citing the "new york times." it's really interesting the conservatives like the new york times and "the washington post" and cnn

if your case hinges on the credibility of andy mccabe, good luck. >> mccabe's memos have been subpoenaed by two committees with a deadline of the justice department later this week. jon? jon: thanks. let's bring in a chicago federal court litigator. andrew, so much palace intrigue going on here because, you know, the information that came out about rod rosenstein might have come from andrew mccabe, a guy who has his own problems, a guy who has been fired and faces this grand jury investigation. so should rod rosenstein resign? >> no, he shouldn't. i kind of feel like i'm in an episode of "game of thrones" right now in terms of everything that's taken place. but under no conditions should president trump fire him prior to midterm elections. i mean it is a classic trap that's been set for the president, and i think it is going to be hard for him to not walk into it. i think if he fires rosenstein, i think it causes a constitutional crisis. i think voters get extraordinarily upset, and i think it is a bad thing in the context of the midterm elections coming up next month. jon: yeah, because

this ute that all this happened in the wake of james comey's firing, about you this happened with andy mccabe and also lisa page in the room. how you does that play into the narrative? >> he's certainly suspicious of lisa page, and he has come to be more suspicious of andrew mccabe. he is working on a book himself. there will be his side of the administration that will come out. initially, when this white house spoke about rod rosenstein and andrew mccabe, initially it heaped praise on both of them. it has gone against its own rhetoric in taking the agenda of the president, this newly hostile agenda through parts of the department of justice, even against its own public -- let me do this, alex, from page 28 -- the dichotomy between cannot be possible and it just happened defined trump's first year. it very well may define his second year as well. >> this is the name of the book "mr. trump's wild ride." i have read a lot of it, and we'll talk during the commercial break about that. sfroo i want to get to the other blockbuster story. there's a development the judiciary committee is extending a
