andrew mccarthy is a fox new contributor and former attorney.p taking aim at robert mueller and his probe? >> i think it's a terrible idea for two reasons. one, mueller's probe is bigger than the president and any sort of suspicion of an espionage conspiracy between russia and the trump campaign that hasn't developed any evidence of that we know publicly. what mueller was assigned was a counter intelligence investigation of russia's interference in the election. so when the president takes a shot at mueller, as if it was at that whole investigation, it's as if he is attacking that part of the investigation which i think everybody thinks is pretty important that we get to the bottom of what russia did. >> sandra: surely you wouldn't think it would be a good idea for him to sit down with robert mueller based on that. >> there are a variety of reasons he shouldn't sit down and a variety of reasons he shouldn't be asked to sit down. in a properly-functioning justice department, a prosecutor doesn't get to interview the president just because he thin

here now to explain further is former federal prosecutor and fox news contributor, andrew mccarthy. andy, this flores settlement that we have talked about for quite some time continues to haunt the immigration stance of this president, specifically this problem of family units or people posing as family units crossing the border and thinking they will just be released into the country. trump and sessions wanted to put an end to that, but now they are against the same federal district court judge that had shut down this process before for obama. where are we? >> it's a real tough problem, laura. although i would say as far as this judge is concerned, that far from a cynical attempt to undermine the law, i think what the trump administration try to do here was to get this reversed the right way which would be to go to the court and go back to the litigation where the settlement was originally entered. the fact that they didn't succeed was predictable, but i do think they did it the right way and the honorable way. but the problem here really is this is a terrible abdication by congres

attorney and fox news contributor andrew mccarthy and "wall street journal" columnist kim strassel. welcome to both of you. andy, let's start with you. seems like michael cohen has gotten very talkative, a lot of stuff coming out over the last few days. what do you make of this latest claim? >> i think he's had a change in posture over the last number of weeks. the retention of lanny davis certainly was an indicator of that. i think the big problem he will have, if this is his version of events, apparently he has talked about this before in prior testimony and prior interviews and evidently did not cough this up. i have always thought that if mueller believes that cohen was somehow the key to proving a collusion case against trump, there is no way he lets fact case walk to the southern district of new york. i would be surprised if this amounts to anything that is serious in the way of collusion, like an espionage conspiracy. the trump tower meeting is bad. it's not collusion in the sense that they were, that they opened the investigation over it. >> laura: andy, hold on. andy. andy.

attorney andrew mccarthy and then okay your thoughts. >> the judges obviously relied over the it appears on the fbi. they trusted that they were following procedures and they weren't exacting enough. i wasn't saying the judges should be kicked off the bench but i think they got to be asked hard questions. to me, i look at his application and it's is appalling. and i don't understand how a judge -- if i gave this warrant when i was a prosecutor to a judge down the street in manhattan, ida got my head cut off. >> harris: is any of this complicated at all by the fact that these four judges. g.o.p. appointed or does that not matter? >> it doesn't matter. they took the governments word at face value which was a mistake in the judges should be asking themselves whether they need to ask more questions of the fbi in the future. we have law enforcement folks that work with us and they told us they needed more information than was required here just to get a subpoena for a crack. the idea that they relied on this garbage and it is garbage, dnc clinton anti-trump propaganda even worse. used are gat

we have had andrew mccarthy on yesterday, said there's all sorts of background that separates us outm just being able to wipe away a woman's right to an abortion. what do you say about that? >> judge napolitano: i think john roberts is the chief justice and the pro-life practicing catholic would never vote to repeal roe vs. wade because he doesn't believe that rights once guaranteed and substantially relied upon should be changed because of an election. so even if brett kavanaugh were suddenly to become a fierce opponent of roe vs. wade, they would still >> katie: votes to uphold it because the chief justice believes that diminishes the legacy and credibility of the court when it acts as if its members are popularly elected politicians. having said that, judge kavanaugh has not opined in an official way on roe vs. wade. he wrote none involved abortion except for the ones involving the mexican immigrants and there he dissented from the decision to give her the abortion. but he is a fierce and public and traditionalist roman catholic so one can only assume what his views are. it doesn'

andrew mccarthy is a former federal prosecutor and byron york, chief political correspondent for the examiner." both are fox news contributor's. thank you all for being here this evening. byron, a lot of very tough reaction to what we saw in there today, the president getting hit from all sides. newt gingrich saying it's the biggest mistake of his presidency to date and it's clear from the tweet that the president sat on his way out of town that he knows that there is fixing to be done. >> i think when assessing the reaction you have to look at some of the usual suspects who freak out about trump every single day and they are flipping out now. you can maybe discount some of that stuff, separate those from the people who have been more balanced on trump and have not gotten upset with everything he's done who believe that today he made a serious mistake and his serious mistake was not taking the side of not only u.s. intelligence agencies, but the u.s. house and the u.s. senate and taking their side over election meddling over the russians. and that was a significant mistake that the p

. >> jon: i want to get a quick reaction that andrew mccarthy wrote in national review yesterday.ve taken the not only pointless but reckless step of indicting operatives of a foreign hostile power who cannot be prosecuted and whose schemes have been exposed multiple times in public government reports. so now due process rules to presume the russians did not do what we have formally accused them of doing. they're entitled to that presumption unless and until we convict them in court which will never happen. andrew mccarthy criticizing robert mueller's indictment of the russian operatives. >> he is right. i was with jonathan turley last night, a scholar in these areas. our c.i.a. would break laws of other countries. we don't turn people over for indictments. and when c.i.a. equivalents in other countries do these things there is no expectation that indictment is appropriate. so this was a staged event. the american people were influenced by seeing this and taking that next step of it must be real. the fact is that these people, as you said, could have been named at any time. we cou

joining us now, andrew mccarthy.- how will this even trial have an impact on the course of mueller's investigation? >> it really won't have any. the more you think about it, the less i think it will. the thought up until now has been, it's probably still true, that mueller is trying to squeeze manafort to see if he's got anything on trump in connection with collusion. if you think about it, mueller has had richard gates as a witness for months. gates was manafort's partner through all of the shenanigans that he's on trial for. you have to -- plus, gates came into trump's campaign with manafort. so it would be hard to believe that there's something that manafort has about the campaign and any connection with russia that gates doesn't already have and was not already in a position to give to mueller. so i think they went down this road with manafort. all of the interesting thing is, this may be a test of mueller's prosecution but it's not really a test of his investigation. the rational for the investigation is any int

explain, fox news contributor and former federal prosecutor, he knows his way around the courtroom, andrew mccarthy: what's your headline? >> i think that a fisa warrant was issued on the basis of unverified uncorroborated information. steve: how often does that happen. >> you hope never. one of the big problems people are going to have with this is that there is a lot of things in national security whereby the government has to be able to look nut eye and say trust us fisa is exactly that what people are going to wonder if they did that in this case how rampant is the problem. how much do they push the envelope because they know no one is ever going to check their work. abby: fbi, doj, they use that dirty dossier as the president called it this weekend in a tweet as a reason to say that carter page might be collaborating with russia. that clearly didn't happen. and, if it did, carter page would have been arrested, right? >> ainsley, the other thing we should be blunt about this. they used it to say the trump campaign was colluding with russia. what they say in the application is that he was, basic

andrew mccarthy is on deck coming up next. >> i've always thought that if mueller believed that cohen somehow the key to proving a collusion case against trump, there is no way he lets that case walk to the southern district of new york. so i would be surprised if this links up to anything that is serious. i never thought i'd say this but i found bladder leak underwear that's actually pretty. always discreet boutique. hidden inside is a super absorbent core that quickly turns liquid to gel. so i feel protected and pretty. always discreet boutique. impeachment. think about this, to impeach you need a simple majority in the house and a 2/3 super majority in the senate to remove the official, right? if they get thumped in the house it suggests that congress is not all that interested. >> sandra: why were they doing it? >> i think it's got to do with the politics and i'm probably less adept at dealing with that than the legal stuff. >> bill: i think they're ticked off they can't get cooperation. they feel an obligation of oversight and fighting for the piece of paperwork over and over aga
