who put mueller in place and andrew mccabe is still the second man there.stice department is there are too many people who have been friendly with each other for too long. if you are going to have a special prosecutor, you need someone who is independent. the president needs to bring his attorney general over. and say you don't have to excuse yourself on this one. i want a full-scale investigation. i want to find out what was going on here and hoist got started and how to get it to stop. lou: sessions has been on the right side of so many issues for so long. and now he seems utterly lost and looking flrg t -- focused te investigation. it has to change. ed: it has to change. what these charges on the russian uranium stuff is and stawj to this one -- is sabotage to this country. what a difference if rudy giuliani or chris christie, a tough prosecutor on our side. that's what you need. someone to make the case. lou: it occurred to me sessions is doing this. he recused himself. he's laying back under that rubric of recusal as an excuse to be docile and not move

andrew mccabe. he's the man who was handling the seem investigation of hillary. and you may remember his wife got $675,000 from clinton pal terry mcauliffe, also connected to the clinton foundation because she ran with hillary in 2016. she lost, but under virginia law she can keep whatever cash was left from that oh so generous contribution. at the time of the approval of the transnever our uranium to -- the transfer of our uranium to russia. republicans worried that russia helped iran build its nuclear resack tore and that the takeover of united states nuclear resources by a russian government-owned agency would be against our national security interests. why does this all matter? at the time that the obama administration green lighted this sale, republicans in congress objected. and they didn't even know about the criminality and the money laundering. so you ask yourself, what happened to that criminal case? the criminal case was plea bargained to a lesser crime on labor day weekend, the sentence, a slap on the wrist meteed out at christmastime without the bell

in an effort to be fair to getting the answers, we reached out to eric holder, robert mueller, andrew mccabe, rod rosenstein, hillary clinton, the clinton foundation, we asked all of them to comment about on these explosive reports. the department of justice did respond about mccabe and rosenstein, they stated "prolonged standing department policy, we do not comment on the existence or course of investigations." the clinton foundation to get back to us and they are denying the story. big surprise, we did not hear back from any others that we reached out to. shocker. attorney general jeff sessions is also being asked about investigating this scandal. he was on capitol hill earlier today. he was pressed by senator chuck grassley of iowa about the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein. watch this. because i would like to remind you that deputy attorney rosenstein directly supervised a criminal case when he was u.s. attorney in maryland. i don't think it would be proper for him to supervise a review of his own conduct, do you? >> it would be his decision. he is a man of integrity and ability.

and andrew mccabe of the fbi and probably james comey. they all knew about this. >> exactly what we are looking at. these are people who actually knew about this. now it's up to congress to ask those questions and find out whr did you decide to allow this deal to go through with uranium one? what was the fbi actually looking at? >> sean: and influencing all of our uranium in this country? we will have more on this tonight. did the doj, did they deliberately jeopardize america's national security knowing all of this was going on, in other words the kickbacks, bribery, extortion, money laundering? allowing this deal to go through without presenting the evidence. how did hillary sign off on it and get all the money to the foundation? did they risk national securitya >> there are things we don't know yet. they still voted to approve the deal after being told. >> sean: they told them about bribery, extortion, money laundering, and they still allowed the deal to go through with the russians in our own country? >> we don't know the answer to tha

heavily redacted emails show an early version of the statement forwarded to the deputy fbi director andrew mccabe on the second of may, long before key interviews in the case were conducted including with hillary clinton herself. wow. it looks like there is a lot more to the clinton corruption story. all of it taking place within the years of the obama administration. turning to a more present development. two members of fusion gps, the firm responsible for the shocking, controversial anti-trump discredited dossier summoned to speak before the house intelligence committee tomorrow. this comes after employees refused to comply with subpoenas claiming the panel is acting in quote bad faith. catherine: hafaith.catherine herridge has our report. catherine: fusion gps compiled a strum dossier. according to congressional testimony zaiments for the record and the first-hand account of alec boyd. >> they are particularly good at spreading disinformation and smears. catherine: employed says he was targeted after his 2012 reporting on a company with close ties to the venezuelan government. >> my understand

andrew mccabe, the deputy fbi director and rod rosenstein the deputy attorney general, and rob mueller, they were all involved in this. >> it's definitely weird. we don't know exactly what happened. i take issue with the idea this hasn't been covered. the "new york times" broke this. this has been covered everywhere. i think a lot of the complaints from president trump about how this isn't getting enough attention are partisan sour grapes. this reminiscent of 2009 when we went after president bush who was no longer in power. kennedy: why wasn't there a greater airing of the fact congressionally. now we are putting all of these pieces together because you have what happens to be -- appeared to be the missing link. >> parties don't investigate themselves. they tend to investigate their opposition. republicans have all the power in washington. kennedy: they are investigating president trump. you do have chuck grassley. you do have various members from both parties in both houses actively investigating. it's not okay to launder money and collude with foreign governments. if this were happe

we have an inspector general investigating, andrew mccabe, the number two man at the fbi who i do not understand how he can be involved in the administration of the agency that its top officials are so suspect and the american people cannot have any faith or trust. the president certainly can't have confidence in these people. why don't they move out of the agency until it can be resolved. >> there needs to be a limit limit. congressman desantis has a bill that would limit the amount of time. second, there should be a special counsel. we sent a letter from the judiciary committee three months ago. i think third congress -- this is going to happen. it was announced last week. congress should look into these issues. we should have investigations into these issues. dossier, all these things, we should look into these issues. that's what needs to happen for the american people to get the truth. lou: i would much rather be the justice department going aggressively in the investigation on all the things we discussed, looking into the role of the fbi, and at the same time convene grand jurie

then we of andrew mccabe. they oversaw the fbi operation into the russia bribery case. they clearly were well aware about what was taking place. they need to be put under oath. they need to tell us, why were they silent? then robert mueller. he was serving at the fbi director back in 2009 when the russian bribery and money laundering all began. mueller too. he should not be leading any probes into russian collusion. guess why? he should be answering questions about the real russian scandal. he should be put under oath. the conduct of rod rosenstein, mccabe, mueller, it's on excusable. there's a massive conflict of interest. they told nobody and in no way can they be trusted to conduct a fair investigation into anything -- it's time for them either to literally resign. as of my position, i think they've been compromised. especially when it comes to russia. it's well past time for many of them to go. these people are corrupt and they've been compromised. finally, you've got the liberal mainstream media. for years, we've been telling you journalism is dead. they've been ly

and andrew mccabe is in charge with the hillary e-mail scandal, right, for the fbi. >> right. >> whatis this guy doing in the fbi? >> well, and he's going to the swearing-in of the new fbi director along with james comey and mueller and trump can't even go. look, the swamp is still running the show. >> so move him out under the ses law, this law that -- send him to north dakota to study. >> right. and that's what it takes is guts, is to move people out like mccabe whose wife is connected to mcauliffe financially, money went into her pocket which is his pocket and those are the kind of people who elected trump don't trust. >> you know what? virginia state law allows the candidate to keep money. so whatever that three quarters of a million dollars that she got, mccabe got from mcauliffe who is friends with clinton, whose husband was investigating clinton, she can keep; correct? >> right, under virginia election law, that's right. >> what are we going to do christian? the president is working 24/7. what are we doing? >> there is a guy who ran the irs effectively defended it, still defend

andrew mccabe delawaputy direct of the fbi told an another news outlet the fact they have not discovered a clear motive is a surprise in this investigation. he says at this point in investigations similar to this one they discovered a motive. he said it's a surprise they have not discovered a clear motive. but again that might be due to the girlfriend taking time to get back to the united states from the philippines. so hopefully they'll get some more information soon from her. >> they suspect they are getting closer to discovering that motive but not there yet. brian todd in las vegas for us. thank you. >>> president trump is returning to washington after meeting with some of those wounded in las vegas massacre along with first responders. senior white house correspondent is in las vegas. tell us about the president's visit, jim. >> reporter: wolf, as you said the president and first lady back to washington after meeting with survivals of the las vegas massacre. earlier the white house took great pains to keep the president's trip here more subdued and scripted than other official visit

fbi director andrew mccabe said investigators are reconstructing shooter's, behavior, and figuring out patterns. many much focus turns to marilou danley. she was questioned today after being labeled a person of interest. her sisters insist she knew nothing. >> in the year prior to the attack, stephen paddock bought dozens of weapons. a gun shop manager says he sold paddock a gun september 20th, the same day he checked into the mandalay bay hotel. >> i was ill. it made me physically ill to think we had interacted with him and he had committed such a tragedy. >> the owner says the store did not sell paddock ammunition or any bump fire stocks, the device that automatically engages the trigger, allowing the weapon of fire between 400 and 800 rounds per minute. in 2010, bulb stocks were deemed legal. paddock use them on at least 12 weapons. we have learned the fbi questioning of marilou danley may be finished for the day because her lawyer came out and addressed the media, saying she is cooperating. that she does not know anything about the shooting and that she did confirm he wired $100,00

fbi director andrew mccabe says the bureau doesn't have any thumb prints that would have a motive. are you surprised they don't have any idea why this was carried out? >> no. and i'm not sure that's how i would characterize it. it's not ha question whether they have an idea of what happened here. it's a question whether they have a level of certainty. you can almost think of this as phases of the investigation. the first phase is fog, questions about the gunman, were there accomplice, how many guns. we are now in phase two where getting a volume of information hard to take. all the texting, conversation, friends and family conversation, to piece together his life. whether you have credit card information previous advice toits the strip. what happened on the cameras inside the hotel. a massing automatic that nfrn information to put together a time line will take a few days. i'm going to wager that the girlfriend has some answers to those questions. the question i have is whether she's going to speak about them and whether she's truthful when she does speak. she's got to know somethi

>> fbi's deputy director andrew mccabe told cnn that at this point the fbi has hundreds of people, ana, working on this investigation and we were told that the weapons that were seized during the execution of the search warrants have been sent back east where the fbi will do the forensic examination and as we do know as they collected evidence, potential evidence, in the hotel room in his homes and in his vehicles, that electronic devices were found, that must include cell phones, computers, and various other things. forensic examinations of those items so important but they can take a lot of time as well as forens forensic examination of any financial records. at this point no information on anything that has been found in that area. what we do know, however, though, is that the killer may have possibly been intending on targeting other large venues. we were able to confirm that at the chicago's blackstone hotel, a person by the name, the same name of the killer, stephen paddock, represented rooms there in august at the very same time that the la la palooza music festival was taking p

andrew mccabe said we have a lot of work to do. what is missing? what are the big misses pieces?> there's no easy box to put paddock in. if an attack happens, it's an islamic attack or racially motivated attack. paddock didn't hit any of those trip wires. the investigators have to dig deep and figuring out what his motivation was, what caused him to do what he did. >> shepard: we know he's a millionaire real estate investor. he gambled a lot. if he blew all of his money gambling they would know that by now, wouldn't they? >> and they should. that's what the investigation will go. it will go into his financial background, goes into anybody he contacted. they need to go back to the first wife, the second wife, people he worked with. he seemed to have various different jobs, all good jobs, but different agencies and different jobs. they should go back to those co-workers and bosses to figure out what made this guy tick. >> shepard: there was a note. we don't know much about it. >> we don't. i think the las vegas metropolitan police have that note and they're not giving up anything o

we spoke to acting fbi director andrew mccabe. >> we look for actual ind icatos of affiliation, motive and intent, and so far, we are not there and we don't have those kind of ind icators. >> i am joined by justice correspondent pete williams, and start with a question from clark county sheriff joe lombardo that paddock had to have some help, and we don't have any evidence yet that bax it up, but what do you hear? >> i think that the sheriff's statement is supposition, because he said that it is troublesome that he moved the amount of gear that he did into the hotel, and the weapons and the cameras, and everything and he said it is troublesome for the amount of the stuff as he put it, meaning the additional weapon, the electronic device, and the phones that he had in the other house, and he is just saying that it does not seem like he was able to do it all by himself, but they have not found any indication that anybody was helping him. what they want to know is was somebody helping him? it is a question they have, and another one of these many questions that they have about how this ha

hillary clinton's email investigation, but we now know he sent the draft to his deputy director andrew mccabeneral counsel james baker and chief of staff james rybicki on may 2nd 2016, which is more than two months before then-director comey issued this now infamous statement. watch. >> they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information. we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. >> at the may 2nd date of comey's draft letter is also well before fbi agents had conducted all the interviews of key witnesses, including hillary clinton. the existence of the comey draft is just now being made public by top ranking members of the senate judiciary committee, which is investigating president trump's firing of james comey. iowa senator just don't like chuck grassley and south carolina senator lindsey graham uncovered the document back in august and quickly wrote a scathing letter to the newly appointed fbi director christopher wray saying "the outcome of an investigation should not be prejudged while fbi agents are st

here's acting director andrew mccabe on cnbc. >> we see in each one of these instances, we look for actual indicators of affiliation, of motive, of intent and so far we're not there. we don't have those sort of indicators. >> i have a great team here this morning to help break all of it down, starting with nbc's justice correspondent pete williams. pete, i know you've got some new reporting about a possible mystery woman investigators are looking for. what can you tell us? >> i don't know how big a deal this is going to turn out to be, stephanie, but they want to talk to anybody who was in contact with stephen paddock in the days before the shooting and the hours before the shooting. they know that he gambled extensively during the day. they say they don't think he had any companion there. but in the days before the shooting, they say, they've gotten reports that a woman was seen with him. and there may even have been a phone call between them. they want to try to identify her, talk to her, see what she knew. they don't know whether she was involved or not, but it's just something they hav

. >> that was fbi deputy director andrew mccabe on challenges facing the investigation into the las vegas shooter. we've learned today the scope of the gunman's plan was larger than just las vegas. nbc news reporting that he researched possible locations in boston and chicago. even booking a hotel in chicago at the time of the lollapalooza music festival but he never checked in. clint, what does it say to you. we've been on the air as ill-qualified as i might have been, when terrorist attacks might have happened. we've been on the air and some of the first things that became known to law enforcement and first responders was the digital footprint. why aren't we seeing any of his e-mails or websites he frequented. >> he had almost no social media presence at all. that's why we see the same picture pop up all the time. there's only a very small presence surfacing in social media. even beyond that, even when you talk to the people in the casino, they describe him as a loner. a guy always alone. he tended to be by himself. didn't have a large social circle and wasn't tied into family and frien

<andrew mccabe, fbi deputy director> "this individual and this attack didn't leave the sort of immediately accessible thumbprints that you find on some mass casualty attacks." offficials have discovered that paddock began building his arsenal last october, buying as many as 33 weapons. in the past year the gunman purchased rifles, shotguns, and pistols. paddock checked into the mandalay bay last thursday. hotel workers say he immediately put out a "do not disturb" sign.over the next few days he was able to smuggle 23 guns along with "bump=stocks" to increase their rate of fire.this promotional video from one of the manufacturers "what our founding fathers felt deep in their hearts, the long- silenced soul of liberty rose up from a commoner's dream to become everyman's birthright." today senator dianne feinstein said she is introducing new legislation to ban the devices.
